Satellite L500 - no disc of recovery or partition recovery - how to reinstall?

I just bought a new laptop and realize that he did come with a restore disk or a hard disk recovery partition.

I was wondering if my drive hard breaks down how do I reinstall windows?
The laptop I bought is a Toshiba satellite L500 and only a few weeks.

If someone could help on the subject would be much appreciated.

> I was wondering if my drive hard breaks down how do I reinstall windows?
If you would look in the user manual you would course a long time ;)

Use the Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create a recovery disk
If something goes wrong with the HARD drive, then you can always restore the operating system using the recovery disk ;)

  • Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

    Hello!

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
    I have already created the recovery DVDs.
    As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
    But I don't know how I should do this?
    Could you please help me?

    If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
    Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
    Choose the quick format option and click START.

    After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

    Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
    Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.

  • Satellite L500-20 X - no recovery disk

    Hi all

    Since yesterday my Satellite L500-20 x have only called Bluescreens 'Driver not less than or equal'--> Restart! It starts with win7 until the opening of the session, after that reboot every time. I try a lot of things to fix:
    Systemrepair (3Times) and no change
    Recovery of SystemRecovery (per disk HARD no CD) work but always bluescreens and no change to solve the problem.
    Memory check (from Win7) checked 3 times 100% ok.
    Toshiba HDD Recovery (I try several times but it turned off each time by bluescreen process... so I can't do that - unpossible complete recovery!)

    This is the first laptop I have buyed all and I've never heard of a recovery disk - so I don't create one! Now, I can't get in win7 - so I can't create it now. Anyone have any ideas? I want new windows to install... but I do not have the same Win Disk. Win = Win7 64 bit laptop all I have is WIn7 32 Bit for my HomePC.

    I need help!

    Salvation of the beam,

    If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can order one at Toshiba directly:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    It's worth a try if HDD recovery option doesn't work properly.

    If you order such a disc and install the original on the HARD drive settings will be restored. A clean install factory with all the drivers and tools (on the settings in the box) will be restored, and if that doesn t work, this seems to be a hardware malfunction

    > I do not have the windows installation disc, because it was not provided when I bought the laptop.
    The disk was not provided because it was possible to create a recovery disk using Toshiba disc creator software recovery which was available on the HARD disk!

    The Toshiba Recovery disk is NOT the same thing as the common Windows installation disc!
    The recovery disk contains an image, and you can just run the recovery disk to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase. This means, you HARD drive will be formatted!

    If you don t want to lose the file on the HARD drive, I recommend booting from a Linux live CD or disc of WinPE.
    WinPE is downloadable and you can create a bootable CD.
    Then you could get access to HARD drive and could back up the data on external HARD drive or USB key.

    Google for WinPE or linux live CD for more details

  • Satellite L500-13W - creation of possible recovery on another OS disc?

    I got a Satellite L500-13w and it came pre-installed with Windows Vista and the recovery of files, but I formatted the PC and installed Windows 7 and then installed XP.

    Now I want to use the system recovery to return to Vista, but I didn t create a Vista recovery CD using the files that came on the separate partition. If I had again the file instead, they came.
    So my question is, under Windows XP, is it possible to use these files to create the CD or the recovery file?

    Please answer

    Hi Nagravison-PT,

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. The Toshiba Recovery disk can be created on a preinstalled OS, because only there, the recovery disk creator is installed.

    On the second partition recovery files are now unnecessary, because you can use HARD drive recovery option more and creator of recovery disc is removed.

    What to do now?
    You use a Microsoft disc or you order a Toshiba Recovery disk:

  • Questions about the discs of recovery and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

    I bought a model of Satellite A200-QH0 in Australia and due to the lack of forums in our country, I would like to ask a few questions here if that's ok.

    The book contains 3 partitions - partition "EISA Configuration" of 1.6 GB, the great partition of the BONE and the recovery partition. So I did the recovery DVD? s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool, as we are not provided with a real disk. But I would like to know what will make these records? My questions:

    1. they really will return that disc hard back to the _exactly_ how he was including the partition layout and software pre-installed?
    2 will be the recovery DVD works even if the disk has been repartioned? I would like to divide the system partition to give space for the files of data etc. But this extra partition will stop the recovery procedure works correctly?

    Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire disk. I want to just split the partition from the OS. But in case I need to replace the disk in the future or something, I would like to know how to close to 'original', these disks will make me, no matter what I do on the disc?

    Thank you
    Dave

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure how recovery works on the Australian laptops computers Toshiba, but I presume that the restore CD contains the image of Toshiba with the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and utilities.
    I think that if you want to use the recovery CD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.

    I think that the recovery partition is not created using the recovery CD because the CD of restoration has already been created for the recovery partition is no longer necessary

  • Satellite L500-12 q Recovery Disc Creator Error

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite L500-12 q. I used the Recovery Disc Creator to make recovery disks. It needs 4 discs. The 1st was writtenk ok, but on the second, towards the end of the current status, it stopped advancing. It's almost an hour, and it is still not finished. I'm on the second try. The disc is spinning and the drive makes noise as if it was written, but it does not advance at all.

    Please, could you help me?

    Thank you
    Claudiu

    Claudiu Hey,.

    What kind of DVD that you use to create the Toshiba recovery disks? I got also some problems to create a recovery disc but I changed DVD + R, DVD-r media and everything was ok! I used Verbatim discs to create because I have really good experience with this kind of discs. In addition, it seems that TDK discs also work quite well. Check this box!

    If it doesn't work check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of your WEIRD!

  • Creation of recovery Win 7 64 bit for Satellite L500-19 x disc?

    My new Satellite L500 - 19 X came pre-installed with Win 7-64 bit version.
    Also includes a "product recovery Win 7 32 bit" disc

    Inside of the package a brochure said:

    "If you plan to use 64-bit at a later stage, please create a _recovery medium_ before installing Windows 7 32 bit"

    He then warns me to create a "medium recovery 64-bit... you are ordering that 64-bit recovery media is not free."

    The manual goes long on "_System Recovery Options" as stated in the manual I did a "Windows 7 64 bit repair disc" can I say that I don't have or can't have a real Win 7 64 bit disc?

    The brochure says "a backup copy (file Win 7 64-bit) is stored on the hard drive as a _recovery image_" so is this the real Win 7 64 bit full disk that I'm after, and if so how do I get it?

    Toshiba documentation is not clear, and I think rather contradicts itself?

    I'm confused! Someone at - he understands what's going on?

    JohnF.

    Hello

    If I understand correctly, you have received the laptop pre-installed with Win 7 64 bit OS.
    But you didn t get the drive recovery Win 7 64 bit, but you have a Win 7 32 bit recovery disc. Is this good?

    Matt good the case is that the use of the recovery disk will format the entire HARD drive and will erase everything from the HARD drive. This means that you will lose the Win 7 64 bit OS preinstalled.
    So if you would not create the recovery disk Win 7 64 bit before using the Win 7 32 bit recovery disc, then you will not be able to go back to the 64-bit version.

    Therefore, create the Win 7 64 bit recovery disc at the beginning. So you are safe and can install Win 32-bit and 64-bit when you want.
