Satellite L350-170: creating the image of the partition backup system

New here so first of all, Hello to all.

Need some advice if possible please.
I just got a new laptop L350-170 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
I went thro' the installation process and created with the program toshiba recovery disks but also make the thro' the post.

What I want to do now is create an image of the full backup ' c' drive now that I have installed additional programs and adjust settings to get the laptop how I want it.

I've tried acronis true image, but laptop won't boot from the restore cd, even tho ' cd/dvd is set in the bios as "first boot.
Says it can't find the "boot partition" and assume that it is something with the toshiba restore program not be circumvented.

Is there a 'ghost' type program that will allow me to create an image, and then start the disk in order to restore everything from the created image and therefore not lose everything I installed carefully?

I suppose that, if I try to use the toshiba program once again, it will only reproduce the original installation.
I hope someone can advise.

TIA

Hello!

The Toshiba recovery disc sets only the laptop back to the factory settings. It s not a program backup like Acronis, but with the recovery disc you have installation of Windows with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

What version of Acronis True Image do you use? I use version 11 and I have no problem on my laptops and PCs. It works perfectly.
Maybe you should do a update.

Have you set the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI or compatible? Maybe you need a driver SATA when you have defined it AHCI, but I think in its new version of Acronis you t need a n.

I hope I could help a bit and if you have problems, make me know it.

Good bye

  • Can't see the number of COA to my Satellite L350-170

    Hello

    I just wanted to ask I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L350-170 and the sticker on the underside that CoA is all gone and cannot see all numbers or anything about it either and now today have noticed the band interleaved the vista COA silver strip comes out is the certificate of authenticity.

    Not my broof I own a legal copy of windows vista. Is there anywhere online I can order a new COA I could asell remove it as looks a right mess is easy to remove or he will leave a clue sticky nast and should never, I sell the laptop it will be always legal with no sticker on.

    Why Microsoft did not cost as on Vista. They would never then fade.
    Thanks for any info.

    Hello Pulse

    The AOC is not so important. Your laptop model comes with the pre-installed operating system and this number belongs to the version preinstalled only and you can not use this number with any other installation of the OS.

    When you use the recovery image for the installation of the OS that you should not enable using this number, so when you go to sell your laptop just be sure next owner will get original Toshiba DVD facilities.
    "I just hope that you created using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. Do you have?

  • New recovery for Satellite L350-170 discs save updates?

    I just restored my Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS on my Toshiba Satellite L350-170, using the recovery disks that I created 4 years when I bought my laptop.

    After you restore the operating system, it took the better part of a day to install all the Microsoft updates, including Service Pack 2 Vista and other programs that I use (e.g. MS Office, Real player, AVG etc.).

    Now everything is up to date, I have created a new hard disk system restore point and run the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Just out of curiosity, will be created until the last restore point recovery disks or it again just the discs that I have, that restore it to factory settings?

    If this only restores to factory settings, is there a way to create a system disk to get back to the point that it is now?

    Creation of recovery disks has nothing to do with the points and restore your settings.
    Recovery recorded on the HARD disk image is created long ago and contains all the necessary parameters created at this time.

    Creator of recovery disc just copy this recovery image on empty media.

    Whenever you use recovery discs, you will own BONES without updates and you must repeat this installation of additional updates.

    Hi CBX_tintin85,

    I think you should check this Toshiba document:

    In addition, the microphone is located on near the microphone because it s part of the webcam.

  • Satellite L350-170 - sounds of clanking from the HARD drive

    My laptop Satellite L350-170 performs a kind of rattling noise when the hard drive light flashes.
    Is this normal because this is a replacement one but that I had did not all sounds.

    Hello

    It is very difficult to say why this noise appears.
    I have two laptops. On a laptop, the HARD drive clicks and creates its strange but 4 years it worked correctly.
    The other HDD doesn t create sounds

    So, as you can see not really easy to tell what could cause this noise of rattle, but I recommend creating a file backup.
    In the worst cases could die your HARD drive and as a result, a backup is always recommended.

    You said that the HARD drive has been changed so maybe you should ask ASP for more details and maybe this HARD drive will be replaced again.

  • Initial configuration of the Satellite L350-170 hangs on step 3

    Dear all

    I wonder if anyone can help. I took a laptop Toshiba Satellite L350-170 on Thursday received last week, left turning the battery for 24 hours before using (oh patience!)-he walks from Friday afternoon at around 15:00 and step 1 and step 2 of the initial installation went well. I created my profile login and password. He then started on step 3. Unfortunately I had to leave my office for a meeting, (the laptop is my personal, I got it to be delivered at work), and I guess he went into hibernation or mode 'sleep', because I had to sign in again when I came back to it.

    I decided to leave over the weekend, but this morning, I had to reconnect, and it still occupies in step 3 to the top... it's now under 2.5 hours and it's still step 3 - is it meant to take this long? What IS 3 stage? Installation of the software?

    I'm obviously reluctant to turn it off (certainly a last resort), but it's very, very stupid. every few minutes I turn and move the mouse on the touchpad. Someone at - he encountered this before? What is the bust? Should I turn off and see what happens?

    If anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful.

    Thank you
    Red

    I put t know what happened with you for laptop and why the installation doesn t go to the next step and doesn t finished, but I guess something was wrong during installation and now the OS crashes.

    Try to recover again and check if you can complete the installation.
    Press F8 after you turn on the laptop.
    Then choose the option called fix my computer.
    Then a new window opens and there you have to choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

    Well, now the new recovery will begin and the operating system will reinstall again.

  • Satellite L350-170 - number of the motherboard?

    Hi guys,.

    I need the motherboard reference number a Toshiba Satellite L350-170. I should be grateful if you would help. Thank you.

    Hi varioxx,

    The problem is that here you can talk with normal like you and me only, and we don t have access to Toshiba databases to verify the part number.

    So I think you need to contact a service provider allowed in your country and ask the guys for part number. You can give them a call, for example, I think he should take a few minutes to get the part number of technicians.
    And by the way: guys can order the motherboard too!

    You can find a list of aspic here:

  • How to start the installation of recovery on Satellite L350-170?

    Hello

    I'm new to this so please be gentle with me! -J' have a Toshiba Satellite L350-170 (Windows Vista SP2). I burned the recovery DVD 2 right after that I got back. I decided to get it back to factory settings, so I put the first recovery disc in the drive and... nothing. It will not automatically play/start to start the recovery process. I can access the files on the drive through "MY COMPUTER" but you can see a 'set-up '. I had already used the discs to recover and it worked then no problem.

    There is nothing wrong with the computer or the error messages

    Apologies if its been said before, but can someone help or I would like to know what is happening please?

    with deep gratitude

    Myke

    Hello Mike

    If it worked in the past that I n t see the reason why it shouldn't still works one time, except the discs are damaged.

    Anyway, try this:
    Start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu
    Insert disk 1 into the optical disc drive
    In the list, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER

    ODD must start to read the disc and you should see something on the screen.

    It works for you?

  • Is satellite L350-170 - possible to use the laptop as external monitor

    Ok... So I broke the other day to the top of my screen on my laptop, and was amazing, if it is possible to use another laptop as an external monitor.

    while I put my files on an external hard drive

    or isit only possible connection to the pc?

    Hello

    It would be possible to use the second laptop as an external display ONLY if the computer a laptop would support the video port line-in to the receipt of the video signal.

    But the most common books supports the only video out s-Video port or a vga port, and in this case, you will not be able to use the laptop as a second monitor external.

    For example, the Satellite L350-170 supports only the RGB port that allow you to connect this laptop to external monitor but you can not use this laptop as compensation for external monitor.

  • Satellite L350 - indicator of the battery system is orange instead of green

    I have a Satellite L350 - 170, happened only tonight, indicator of battery is orange instead of green, not flashing.
    Someone knows why? I always have the power cord is connected.

    If the laptop was not connected to the power supply for a few seconds or loses contact with power running, the battery can lose ability and now it can be orange for a few seconds.

    In my opinion, everything is OK and there is no reason to panic.

    Thank you Michelle

    Hello, Michelle

    This means that you have created two DVD-R virgins for the installation of recovery?
    Please, start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly. When the boot menu appears put the first recovery DVD in the optical disc drive in the menu, choose the CD/DVD and start the installation with the button ENTER.

    You can also try to start installation of recovery image stored on the HARD drive.

    If you didn't change anything about this either on the second partition of HARD drive, try it please follow:
    Start your laptop and press F8 immediately several times to enter Advanced Startup Options. If everything is OK the first option, to fix my computer. If this option is available, please choose and run with the button ENTER.

    Then simply follow the menu on the screen and you will enter in the System Recovery Options. The last option should be Toshiba Recovery option. Please use this option to start the recovery image installation.
    As I've written before, this should work if you didn't change the default settings.

    Please

    Hello

    You didn t receive a disk that this laptop because this phone has been equipped with a recovery procedure internal.
    This allows you to reinstall the operating system using the disk HARD recovery option.

    In addition, you can find a preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator on this laptop. There should be a shortcut on the desktop.

    This tool lets you create a clean recovery disc! And this is highly recommended!
    You need this disc if something goes wrong with the HARD drive!

    Thus, create the recovery disk before you change anything on the HARD drive.

    PS: The drivers are located on the European driver Toshiba page:

  • On Satellite L350-170 drive failure

    I have a Satellite L350-170 who suffered a failure of the drive. I did not the recovery disks. The only part of the hard drive that I can access is the recovery partition.

    Anyone know of a way I can copy it to another disk and use it to rebuild me laptop?

    It will not work on this path. You can use this recovery image with F8 (computer repair) only.
    You cannot move to for example external HARD disk and start the process of recovery from there.

    Until you have the factory settings, you can install OS using F8. You can do this so often desired.
