• Satellite L350 - restore factory settings

  Hello

  I have a L350 and have had problems with my keyboard, my laptop keep thinking that the control key is stuck. I found that when this happens my keyboard stops working properly, but if go into control panel--> change keyboard and just click on all (not to change anything just open & then close) it seems ok again for a while. I want to restore factory settings, but when I shut down or restart my keyboard no longer works, so I can't press the keys or value to boot from the disc. I tried to plug in a USB keyboard, but it's the same leading me to believe it's a software problem not hardware.

  Back, someone knows what can do to solve this problem?

  Thank you

• Satellite A200 - restore factory setting did not work

  Tried to restore my Satellite A200 to 'out of the box settings', but it did not work.

  It comes up with the message to put in the windows installation disc, so I put in the recovery disc, but nothing is happening outside the laptop suddenly turn off!

  Its windows vista.
  Any ideas anyone? x

  > It comes up with the message to put in the windows installation disc.
  Description of your problem is a little confusing.
  When you want to install the recovery using recovery DVD image, you must boot from this DVD and not wait for some message that tells you to insert the recovery disk.

  Follow these steps:
  # Turn on your laptop, press F12 to get into the boot menu
  # When the start menu is displayed on the screen put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive
  # In the start menu, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. This will force ODD to run as first boot device.
  # Follow the menu on the screen.

  When you see option for recovery just language confirm with NEXT and continue the installation of recovery.

• Satellite M30 - restore the external DVD drive

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the drive DVD internal Multi - replacement will take a month or two to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I connected an external DVD drive to the machine. When I start the machine starts on the restore CD but seems so looking for a Player X, I get the following messages displayed on the screen of the BACK:

  Device name: TOSCD001
  Number of units: 1

  CDR101: Not ready reading drive X
  Quit, retry, fail?

  Insert the recovery CD #1!

  What should I do?

  Kind regards
  Sameer

  Hello Sammer

  Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used as internal drive only. I put t think you will be able to use it with an external device. On the restore CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to fix it for use with an external device.

• Re: Satellite L675 - restore factory settings?

  I was doing the initial installation, when we had a power cut (Finally, UPS has failed the self-test) - installation does not seem if completed correctly, so I tried to repair/installation.

  However, all my googling etc only led me to notice: power on, press F8, choose "Repair computer". Well, I don't have the option "Repair computer". Instead, I thought I could restore to the factory settings and start over.

  How can I restore to factory settings?

  Hey Buddy,

  The advanced boot options you have if n t see you fix my computer? Usually this option is still available, and the exact recovery process is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  If it doesn't work your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc but I doubt that you have if you did the initial installation, because the recovery disc can be created after the installation of successful recovery.

  Your only chance would order a disk recovery here:

  I don't think I got an installation with the computer disc, so should inquire as to whether it is something that can be downloaded or if there is anything which can be tried before returning the unit to the retailer

  Hello

  All new laptops Toshiba, including your Satellite L350, are delivered without Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs and this media facilities should be created by the owner of the laptop with the help of 'Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator'. This is small application designed by Toshiba and already pre-installed on the laptop with the factory settings.

  This recovery image can not be downloaded.

  If you didn t create this disc of relocations and now cannot start your laptop properly.
  What you can try is to install the OS using Toshiba Recovery option.
  Step by step guide that you find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  Please install OS using this guideline. If everything works well, once again please create recovery DVDs. I recommend you to use DVD-R virgins.

• Cannot restore to factory of the Satellite L350

  Hello

  I was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended that I tried ubuntu.

  But now I want to go back to vista, but I can't get my laptop to run restore.
  I tried now pressed 0 while turn also by pressing f8 but it always starts just as usual.

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator isn't on my computer either. I do not have the disks of Vista, but if I remember correctly that my laptop never came with them, I am really stuck on what to do.

  Satellite L350

  Hey,.

  I'm a little confused about your ad Mr. you wrote that you tried Ubuntu but you have installed Ubuntu and Vista deleted or was it just a live Ubuntu disc?

  The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  But something more: the HDD recovery works only with the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, so if you have installed another OS or an upgrade, this option doesn't work anymore.

  And you're right: the laptop doesn t come with Toshiba Recovery disk because you must create this disk you use Toshiba recovery media creator which is preinstalled. This tool will create a boot disk with a picture of settings which can be restored each time unlike HARD drive recovery which works only with the original installed OS.

  To cut a long story short, just ordered a Toshiba Recovery disk and install it. Then you have the back factory settings :)

• Win 7 restore without disk recovery on Satellite L350-277

  Hi all

  I'm trying to fix Satellite L350-277 of my sister-in-law following a HARD drive failing. Before the crash, he was running Win7 Home Premium (32 bit) that was preinstalled on the HARD drive. I managed to run Belarc on it before it went completely, but could not create the restore disc in time.

  Disk failure HARD seems to be due to bad sectors and once failed, could not get past startup repair. While they were inspecting HARD drive (in the USB enclosure), both C: and D: (backup partition) appeared to be intact, so guessed was discussed with MBR. I have used Clonezilla to clone new HARD drive and I'm now work - failure of HARD drive it's always like it was incase I need to clone again.

  With the HARD drive clone, I first tried to use bootrec.exe but some successful how to 'break' C: and could not see anything in the score.

  BTW I am currently using a copy of DVD retail Win 7 to provide the functions of "restore". However the Toshiba restore capabilities do not appear in the list of options. So I decided then to install everything on C: retail copy to see if I could access toshiba restore functions using data in D:, that doesn't seem to work either.

  Then I stumbled on this thread that gave me the hope to be able to start the Toshiba recory tool:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=44382

  I was hoping that Vista and Win7 preinstalls would be very similar, but the HARD drive has a recovery partition (D:\ HDDRecovery) and seems to fall in step 13. There are two files boot.wim in this partition: 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\sources\boot.wim' and 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\hddprep\sources\boot.wim '. Imaging either of these files does not cause the file according to the instructions of step 13. Here again, the guide is based around the Vista installation...

  So what I try to do is to retrieve the data from the old HARD drive with the damaged boot record in order to restore the Win 7 OS pre-installed Toshiba. I seem to have the data (old HDD still retains files) do not seem to have enough knowledge now do!

  Can someone help me?

  On the one hand I can understand your wish to install the recovery image, but on the other hand, for me personally, this is nothing but waste your time for nothing. In General, recovery image is designed may not be copied or manipulated so this guy was very lucky.

  Problem is that this recovery disk is not created after the purchase of the laptop.

  Maybe it sounds stupid to you, but I recommend you restore disk original order for this machine.
  You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  It costs 30 Euro only. With this money, you will get original recovery disk that includes the operating system active, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and a few additional and useful applications.

  Using this disk, you will be able to have perfectly working machine in just 2 hours.

  One more thing: the use of the disc is unlimited and you can use it 1000 times and each time you have enabled and configured perfectly BONE.

• Satellite L350D-213 - restoration of the factory without disks

  Hello

  I came to this page because the Web, so many people say you don't need a disk and many others say that you do! {Massive headaches} CONFUSED!

  After last week, ending up with the UKASH virus on my computer, a friend helped and explains to go into MSCONFIG in safe mode and disable all, then I could finally get into my normal settings and do a scan to wipe it. I ran ad-aware, but later removed that he had fallen behind EVERYTHING, including IE. Then, I saved all my stuff and deleted from my computer to make room. I then did some general research and followed the instructions. "speed up my performance" followed by a few scans/clean ups and Defrags.

  I don't remember what I did to remove panic and difficulty Ukash and performance thereafter, except that I know that some applications do not work, because of a name of a file I know I deleted as 'my speed' and some I do not know why they do not work.

  After spending TWO WEEKS on this issue, it is better, the UKASH went, my performance is faster BUT the strange problem of a file, and I'm done with him! I want to do a factory restore to put all rights that I can and have done wrong.

  My question is; Can I do a record of WITHOUT restore factory, I don't remember if I've ever had a recovery disk, but if I did, I don't have any him more as they have become lost or misplaced.

  What are my options?

  My biggest fear is I'm at half way through the restoration of the factory and it prompts for a disk and I don't have. I also drive HARD recovery on my laptop on drives C and D.

  (System Restore does not work for me either, I have no restore points or can I create one, so another reason why I need to do a restore of the fctory)

  Kind regards.

  In your situation you should not spend a lot of time speculating on what the people are saying. In the user s manuals document described clearly how it works with the recovery image installation, creating recovery image and what your options are.

  In my opinion the best solution for virus affected system is new and clean install of the OS. It's certainly more radical solution but, I think of easier and faster way to have own OS again. The first step is the backup of the data, if possible and recovery image installation (factory settings).

  Recovery image can be installed on two ways:
  1 as described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm HARD drive recovery facility
  2 with recovery disk created recovery image installation

  I presume you didn't create this disk so that you can do now is to order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  In any case, try it please with option 1 and send feedback.

• How can I restore my Satellite C660 to factory settings?

  Hi all
  Just a quick question. How can I restore my Toshiba Satellite C660 to factory settings? I have no disk recovery etc., and there is nothing on the PC I need to back up. Just a simple factory to its original settings restore,

  Some sites say press 0 (zero) and follow the instructions. Others say press F8 and follow the instructions. I hope that one of them is correct but which?

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite L350-277 - how to recover to factory settings?

  I had a lot of problems with my Satellite L350-277. I had already created a recovery to help drive the Tech that was installed on the laptop guy.

  In any case, it is time to reinstall again to the State of the plant. Thoughtless I pulled a drive of my computer Vista laptop satellite (I thought it was the original disc). All goes well until it restarts after you install windows system. On the screen was the warning that the product key was wrong, that's when I noticed the Vista on the screen. So I tracked down to the copy I made, it was not in the channel where I put the original his was among all the garbage I've had in the area (where I put all the waste). He was full of scratches and it does not load.

  What I had actually done using the Vista disc has been clear the program on the D drive that reads from Windows 7. I ended up going to the PCWorld Tech guys. They have reinstalled windows 7 for the cost of £50. I didn't mind that I got my laptop working again. What I did not know according to them, was I can't create a recovery disk.

  So to my question. Can I get my laptop back with all Toshiba knick knacks, so that its possible to create a restore disk. If not, can I get a Windows 7 disc installation program, download all drivers & create a restore disk in case of something that happens and I can reinstall windows 7? Get cramps in my fingers now. I'm not going on a little lol.

  Hey Buddy,

  That s a little confused is your story...

  Normally you get factory settings if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore the pre-installed Windows version that came with your laptop.

  If you have Windows 7, you can t create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Only possible on what s preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, but if you install your own copy, you can create such a floppy.

  If you have the original operating system back, you can order a recovery disc Toshiba here:

• Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

  Hi all

  I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
  I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

  The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
  I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

  Hi amigo

  I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

  Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

• Satellite L350 - DVD player can't read DVD

  Hello

  I have a problem with my "Mat * un UJ880AS' DVD Ram drive in Toshiba Satellite L350!
  I tested 2 DVDs on Windows Vista, but the reader can´t read these! What can I do?

  Has your laptop factory settings (always original preinstalled as for the first day)?
  What type of DVD used for testing?

  To be more specific and explain what you did exactly, what kind of DVD that you used and what DVD player you use for the test.

• 1st generation ATV dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance.  I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here.  Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote work

  1st generation Apple TV is dead. Orange light but no screen and no resetting of distance. I tried direct connection to Mac and iTunes open and he's not here. Is it possible to restore to the factory without screen or remote workin

  I guess you tried maintained low men together for about 6 seconds - silver 1 ATV that will restart to the diagnostic partition but who would rely on the hard disk is functional and if it was ok that wouldn't work with the logic board failure.

  I guess you have not fed and attempted to restart.

  In case your AppleTV think it is paired with another remote try Menu and left arrow for 6 seconds - the light now intervenes when you press the buttons on the remote?

  Also, it could be in the video mode bad - try Menu and upward arrow together for 6 CES switch video modes, but implies that he actually started OK.

• Satellite L350-171 - where to get the DVD to upgrade Toshiba (Vista to W7)

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite L350-171 and got a W7 DVD update "awhile." I get only round to install now and the first thing I see in the instructions, it's that I should have a upgrade DVD Toshiba, which I did :-(

  Anyone know where I can get one, or if I need any? If not then can I just upgrade and hope that all drivers updated automatically? Sounds a bit risky

  I hope this is the right place to ask.
  If it isn't then point me in the right direction and I'll ask here rather :-)

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Damian

  A few years ago, Toshiba offered this upgrade program.
  It's over and you can't upgrade drive more.

  What you can do is be upgraded using the original disc of Microsoft, but I think you should do clean install Win7. Your model of laptop is supported for Win7 and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Before starting with the upgrade Win7 create original Vista recovery DVDs.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 or if you have other questions, you are welcome.
