Satellite L500D: 64 bit Win recovery disk is 32-bit - can I restore 64-bit?

Hi all

I have a Satellite L500D, which has Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
I have the recovery CD is 32-bit, however, and I need to reinstall Windows.

I'm assuming that this drive can install the 32-bit version and does not give you the option - if after installation, is there always a partition on the HARD drive for the 64 bit version?

If possible, I want to continue to use the 64-bit edition.

Thank you!

Hello

Did you create this disc using the Toshiba Recovery Media creator?

If so, then the pre-installed Win 64 bit should be part of the image that you created using this software.

Generally, when booting, you should get the option where you could choose between 63 bits and 32 bits of the system.

I am wanting to sell, but have all my programs stuff etc I want to erase files and be able to convey simple with system also when I bought. Memory (purchased January 2007) gave me a Toshiba Recovery with this power drive do something if I needed it's of course is not the case to be foundI.

    Is there anyway I can fix this? All I can download etc to do this?

    Thanks heaps

    Hello

    If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
    You have the address of the guy?

    Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

    But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

    Have you tried to format the HARD disk until you try to use the recovery disk?
    Sometimes, I read in the forum that this may solve the problems with the recovery disk and so you can take the Windows XP disc or another tool that is able to format the drive.

    But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.

    Hello

    Would you please ask the same questions more then once in these Forums.

    What you're doing is confusing in these Forums, as nobody else knows what advice are envisaged for you in other responses.

    Other questions, it seems you have an HP computer.

    Here is the information of HP for Vista from recovery to factory settings:

    "Recover Windows Vista operating system using HP Recovery"

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

    Restore the PC to its original state with the recovery discs

    If the PC cannot access the Windows desktop, and the Recovery Manager cannot be started by selecting the f11 at startup key, you can use either the recovery disc custom that you created, or you can order a recovery CD to replace HP, to boot the PC and restore the hard drive to its original operating state.
    NOTE: perform the recovery process by using the custom recovery disk you created can take less than an hour, whilst using the replacement disks ordered directly from HP can take four to six hours and includes several reboots.
    If the HP Recovery Disk Manager can access the hard drive, it will attempt to repair the recovery partition. If successful, a prompt to continue execution of the recovery using the Recovery Disk Manager.
    Use the recovery discs to restore the PC by following the steps below.
    1. Insert the recovery disc into the optical disc drive and start the computer.
      If the computer is running, insert the reinstallation disc and immediately click on Start and select restart to force the computer to boot from the recovery disc.
    2. When prompted, Press any key to boot from the CD or DVD, press any key on the keyboard.
    3. Leave the recovery disk boot and load the files required, while the Microsoft loading screen appears. It may take several minutes to load the required files.
    4. When the HP Recovery Manager window appears, click Advanced options , System Recovery , and then click Next to open the Recovery Manager.
    5. etc.

    If you are having problems using the HP recovery process, you will need to contact HP, because this is Recovery process HP, not Microsoft.

  • 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

  • Satellite A100-139 - download the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I lost the original CD that came with my computer.

    Purchase of a new copy of Win XP is the only chance to reinstall the OS on my laptop or is there a place where I can find and download a copy of the original CD?
    I still have my Microsoft product key, so I can show that I have an original copy of Win XP.

    Thanks much for any help that you could give me.

    Kind regards

    Michele

    Hi Michele,

    Sorry, but you can t download a Toshiba Recovery disk. If you have lost your CD, they come with Notepad, you will need to contact an authorized service provider for new disks.
    On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of ASP. You can call them and e. g., they can sent you the disks.

    You mean what Microsoft product key?
    The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled Windows. The t can be used with a disk of Microsoft.

  • Satellite P10 792 drivers OR recovery disk

    I bought a Toshiba laptop from the United Arab Emirates, model * Satellite P10 792 * in 2004 and had no problems with it until I decided to format in Turkey/Istanbul where I live now. I format and now the distributor of TOSHIBA in Turkey can not yet find the * drivers or the recovery disk * for me because they say it is a too old model! Why sell something if you run it in 5 years? I had no problem with the laptop my only mistake was to format thinking that it would make my computer!

    I desperately * need help from someone who can help me to find the GOLD recovery disc download drivers * for this model of laptop SATELLITE P10 792. Please help me. I don't want to throw my computer in the trash, it is with me since 2004, and I knew it would last me five years if I wanted to format :(

    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Hello

    I don't understand why you're so angry. Visit the Toshiba download page and download all the drivers for Windows XP Home edition. If I remember well this laptop model is listed under the option ARCHIVE (type of product).

  • Satellite C50-A-19 t - recovery disks does not

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19 t with windows OS 8.1

    Recently, my laptop had start-up problems so I contacted toshiba support and they told me to get the backupmedia.toshiba.eu recovery disk and I ordered the drive and it arrived today.

    When I get back the recovery disc and boot from the hard drive (ODD) it brings the windows logo then after a minute, it goes to a white screen and I waited and after a while, he was still a white screen
    I had already been in the BIOS settings to boot from the CD but even after that the same problem persists

    Help, please

    Hello

    Go to the BIOS and disable the option called: secure boot
    Now you should be able to boot from the STRANGE.

    By the way: Please check if the HARD drive is listed on the first page of BIOS (name, size, etc.)
    Where the details of the HARD disk are not visible, drive HARD isn't recognized by the BIOS could be linked to a malfunction of the HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - 135 no recovery disk, need to restore

    Hello

    We have a Satellite Pro L10-135: Intel with Windows XP.

    The laptop is a few years old and is full of spyware, my partner has also accidentally deleted some program files. I have removed all personal files and would like to completely reformat the unit as long as the plant.

    But she lost the recovery CD. I tried to get them at Toshiba, but when I enter the serial number it says that its too old and the drive is not available. I also tried to find the Toshiba recovery disc creator, but on the menu start, is found instead it says Start > all programs > Toshiba > Networking or start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities.

    I need the process to be fool-proof, because I'm not too confident with computers, so I would get a real restoration of Toshiba, rather than who to download drivers, etc..

    Anyone know where I could buy or download the disc in the United Kingdom?

    Thank you very much.

    It is always an issue with the old models of laptops, but what you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and ask for help.
    Maybe they have archived somewhere old recovery disc and can help you with this.

    One last thing: very often, I see people offer on eBay recovery disks.
    Check it out. Maybe you will be lucky and find the recovery for your model of laptop disk there.

  • Satellite L850-161 won't recovery disk boot

    When I got the laptop in 2012 I created 4 recovery disks, but since I had my HARD drive replaced in my SATELLITE L850-161 there the partition recovery with nothing in it, but the laptop won't boot no drive either so I can format it but really need, any suggestions?

    If you have 4 recovery disks be sure that start you the installation with disc number 1. After Exchange HARD drive, you should be able to use created of the recovery disks for recovery image installation.

    Another bootable disk starts correctly?

    To be honest I don t understand how new HDDD holds a recovery partition that will be created if recovery image installation works.

    Problem is that in such a situation you don t have a lot of options. In the worst case you can order the original disc of recovery for your machine.

  • Satellite L30 - I lost the recovery disk

    Hi guys,.

    Help, please

    Hello!

    Are you sure it's the recovery disk?
    What is the content of the CD if you find Windows to display the contents of the CD/DVD?

    These messages appear normally if the CD is noisy and so it can t be read properly or in the worst cases the CD/DVD drive is faulty and should be replaced. :(
