  Yes, you can get it back to factory settings. You can only do so in a way: you must use the recovery DVDs. Have you created this disk?

  Please don t mix Windows repair disk and recovery disk. For now you can not repair anything. What you need to do is clean installation of image recovery.

• Satellite L500-1ZC - cannot start HARD drive recovery menu

  I need to access the option "Get back to the default software factory with the data of the user", but I have problems at this stage.

  I tried power + 0 with no luck, even with the power + f12.
  When the boot menu appears, HDD Recovery is not there as an option to select.

  I need the exact option above but I have no idea how to get it. I have the option to select "Toshiba HDD Recovery" to the Startup Repair, but it will have this option if I go further in it?

  So far I have got up to the screen which warns of an unpacking of the partition system image but don't want to go any further in case this option is not there.

  Can anyone help? :/

  I have the option to select "Toshiba HDD Recovery" to the Startup Repair, but it will have this option if I go further in it?

  Toshiba HDD recovery redefines the laptop to factory settings! This means that your system partition will be deleted and you will get the same State HARD disc as on the first day of purchase.

  Therefore, you must save the date before you run the recovery process.

• Webcam does not work on Satellite L500-1DT

  Recently got a Satellite L500-1DT for my mother who is learning to use a computer for the first time and everything works apart from the webcam integrated, that was a big part of the decision to purchase.

  The blue light comes on and it records sound but no pictures. Also, it does not take the photo or tour and in both cases just shows the image of cloudy sunset which seems to be a default turned on the program. I tried troubleshooting for her, but there is nothing in the help guide that tells you how to solve this problem, if it doesn't work.
  The software is already preloaded when it was purchased (we got it online) and I don't want to uninstall it because I don't think that we have a record.

  Can anyone help?

  Hey Buddy!

  I m not very good but in my opinion you should try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Just check the Toshiba page for an update:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  But before installing the latest version, first remove the old and reboot the laptop.

  Regarding the disc you want to say, as far as I know Toshiba laptop will not be delivered with the recovery disk. This means that you must create yourself using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. This disc contains an image on the factory settings. It is the same version that you have started the laptop, the first time.

  By the way: normally after the first boot, you should get a message of this type. Can you confirm this?

• Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in an endless loop

  It's a so detailed bug report please bear with me.
  If you can help, or can confirm that you have had the same thing happen to you, I will be grateful.

  I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I've even worked for Toshiba so worry, I like the machine. But I have a problem with his recovery software. I just bought a laptop Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I have to sometimes panic calls from field in the sense of "it became too slow", "How do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe he had a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was ASR, which is how to bring the HD to "like new" condition.

  So I started out in the machine, replied to the questions until I got in the appropriate operating system, then led the program "make a recovery DVD. Double layer DVD checked ok. With the freshly made DVDs, I swapped the HD for a spare part, I had (much less: only 40 GB instead of 320) and started the rescue DVD hoping it would fix my own system to the blank disc.

  He did repartition the drive according to its schema, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for the data, including the recovery files. He did install the system in the Windows partition. It was then restarted in Windows 7 installed in order to complete the installation. There, the trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until what I stopped it.

  Loop:
  * reset
  * black screen with bright logo 4 color windows «windows startup»
  * black screen with slight blade and "Setup prepares your computer for first use.
  * blue white screen "Welcome" with "please wait" and the crossbar with green blob, saying "the installation may take several minutes. Please do not interrupt or shut down the computer! »
  * blue screen saying it stops

  Repeat the above forever.

  I saw him restart way more than 10 times over several hours. And whenever he's faking, that this is the first time she did it. Of course, this is not normal!

  I tried to stop with ctrl-alt-del and the Task Manager, but the white screen would go even the Task Manager, making it difficult to kill any process or even inspect what they were on top. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it shuts. Then when it restarts it said that if I wanted safe mode. I tried. He went into the routine above and at one point he says that he could not proceed with the installation, if it was in safe mode. So he restarted in normal mode and then...! It is finally out of the endless loop!

  Then he asked me all the usual language, record etc., questions as he did the first time I had turned on him. This seemed good. Finally, I walked into a newly installed operating system and everything seemed fine, except that I found out later that some programs that were there before were not installed.
  With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even Redid the procedure hard disk provided instead of my rescue: first I have nuked the windows partition, then I save the HD (with F8), not with the DVD that I had done. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboot.

  After that I stopped it, it kind-of-worked, as above, but now some programs were lacking, such as the Toshiba DVD drive.

  (*) motivated by: better try now with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, that when the computer died at home of its owner, and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a line call. Been there before.

  Now, that specific (DVD player), that I could download it from the support page and it installed fine. But what else might be missing or not working not that I have not noticed? The restore process is clearly not working as it should.

  I'm the first or only to whom it happens? I'm doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should try?

  I need to make sure that the restore procedure works perfectly while I still have the computer in my hands. If not, there is no chance that I'll be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie, once I asks me to clean the laptop by phone a few months from now.

  Thanks in advance

  [Update: just looking for the right place where I could post what I found that other people report the same problem.] This is definitely a bug in the software distributed for W7 - 64 overlay, not a problem isolated to my machine. See for example
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&TSTART=0 where the user kwarc described the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that I could recover my trouble free unit.
  The installation of Win 7 went well and everything has been installed correctly.

  Back to you:
  To me it looks like something wrong with installation maybe some HARD drive partitions were confues perhaps, HARD drive should again formatted, and then run the recovery procedure.
  You should test

  Regarding the DVD player:
  As much as I know there is no DVD player for Win 7 64 bit. There are only available for Win 64 bit updated. If you need to install the DVD player for Win 7 32 bit version and then update using the patch released for Win7 64 bit.

• Re: Satellite L500 - 19 X - start the Webcam with Windows application

  I lost my webcam on the Desktop Application.

  Can I bring back by accessing the Web camera Application / Program (86) / Toshiba / Web camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it do not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run has ticked.

  My laptop is the Satellite L500 - 19 X, Windows 7
  Thanks for any help.

  Hey William,

  Normally in the webcam software you choose whether the application should be started with Windows or not.
  Did you check that?

  In addition, you should check it in msconfig (start > run > msconfig). There you can find a list of all the programs that start up with Windows. Make sure that the software of the webcam is not disabled.

  In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the software, but it only takes a few minutes. ;)
