• Satellite M40x - recovery disk removes all partitions?

  Hello

  The new Toshiba satellite M40X I bought about 5 years and it came with the recovery disk. Now my system is slow and reflection on the running on it recovery disk.

  When I bought the system I think she only had one C: drive and later I partition on three discs. Now, I want to know that if I run the recovery on my laptop disk then it would remove all partitions because I took the backup of the c: only?

  Thank you

  Hello

• Satellite L30 recovery disk failed: could not do language input error

  I have a L30-101, which has been slow to turn on. Another forum suggested going in ms config to ensure the maximum memory used to initialize and uncheck that some elements to start. When I rebooted, windows icons have been expanded and slightly blurry, so I undid the changes I did but windows is still not clear. The laptop works well otherwise, so I recorded that restore data, I needed and tried a system, but the computer can't find any restore points.

  As a last resort, I tried the Toshiba product recovery disk which I had never used it before. He begins to read it ok, then asks for the choice of the English language. About 10 minutes later it stops with the error message "could not get a writing of the language of the INI file! Article: [Commom] key InstallCMD file D:\Setenv.ini.
  When I hit OK to clear the message the Administrator page says could not initialize the raid class no RAID-continue normally.

  When I restart the laptop it brings back me to my previous state with blurry icons, another way to work laptop and all my old data is still there.

  I have since bought a new portable Satellite L450D that I write this, but I'm eager to try to lift my L30 and working again as a spare. I contacted Toshiba UK in case there was a problem with the recovery disk, but due to licensing issues they can only redirect me to the support of EU toshiba backup site to buy a new recovery disk. As I already have a recovery disk, I don't want to buy another for the same results. Does anyone have ideas on how I could get the recovery disk to load entirely and recover my laptop to its factory settings?

  At first, I must say that you should back up all your important data to an external device like external HD or USB. When you use the recovery facilities disc all the partition is deleted.

  I don't know why you cannot use livery recovery disk, but the only thing to do is to visit nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and show the problem. If they can confirm recovery DVD is defective, I assume that you will get a new free of charge.

• Re: Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery image disorders instalation

  Hi guys!

  Just try to reinstall Windows 7 with SO included in the score of my Toshiba Satellite L505 - 10K by pressing F8.

  Everything was awesome! , but after installation, on first boot, just released on desktop windows 7, the system stops and restarts.

  Now I'm trying to reinstall W7, but the option of it (by pressing F8) does not, and if I let it load windows allways shows "setting up windows for the first start '... Enter to windows and scream down automatically.

  A loop with the same.

  Does anyone know how to solve, I would use the SO included in the partition, is possible to mw using a cd of W7, but think is not the right solution.

  Thanks for all, and... Sorry for my bad English

  Greetings from the Spain!

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Hard I guess.
  In my opinion, you should install recovery image again. Have you created a recovery (DVD or USB) media to try again?

• Satellite L505-S5990-F3-F200-0002 error recovery disc

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5990 and I had to do a system restore. I ordered the recovery of Toshiba and equip the number one disc discs. It took me to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, I used the option completely format the hard drive, all partitions of wiping then in market and so fourth. I put in disc 2 when you are prompted, and click Next. Everything was fine until the end, when I received an error code F3-F200-0002 at which time the only option was to click on next, then the system would be closed. I then tried restoring this time using the default options to factory restore on the restore disc. I put in disc 2 when you are prompted and click Next. Then, I received the error once again at the end of the restoration.

  What can I do now?

  Hi DustinB22,

  I had a similar problem last month that the recovery disk didn't work correctly. First I thought that the discs are not ok (striped), but then I used a Microsoft Windows disk to format the HARD drive first. After that, I tried again the Toshiba Recovery disk and it worked now!
  So you should try that too. As I have written, you can use a Microsoft disk to format the HARD disk or another tool. Maybe it works

  If this isn't the case, you can also install Windows on this drive from Microsoft.

• Satellite L505 - 10K - Partition for Linux

  Hello.
  I bought a Satellite l505 - 10 k a month a go and it comes with 3 partitions.

  1-> 400 MB my guess based on prior experience installing linux is that s a partition to startup or something like that, (the first time I tried to install linux, I deleted it and the third one (called 'data') and the laptop becomes unable to start.)

  2nd-> 250 GB system (w7 x 32)

  3-> named data, I Don t know what is this to.

  My question is, can someone give an idea or a tip on how to can install a linux distribution? because if I erase the 3rd and the 1st to have/home and / (and of course the swap) the laptop fails, and if I leave the first partition and can´t have / and / home because he says as West a number of partitions and can´t of the laptop handle it.

  Another question I had is when I raced the last ubuntu livecd, I was unable to get the wireless operation. I have a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless.

  Thanks in advance

  If you don't want to delete any partition, you can use wubi link: [http://wubi-installer.org/]
  News page of wubi:
  * Wubi is an installer of Ubuntu with support for Windows users who can bring you in the world of Linux in one click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way.*

  How to install driver Realtek RTL8191SE (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1267961):
  * I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 and here's what worked for me: run terminal and type
  "sudo apt - get install ndisgtk" and after it is done go here and download the driver for win2k.
  Then, I just unzipped the driver file in the download file. Then I clicked on
  system-administration-windows driver wireless and sought
  for downloads - rtl8191 (the file that you unzipped) - 91_92_SE_Driver - win2k - net8192se.inf
  click install, and then close. Has worked for me hope it works for you! I had to use WPA Personal

• Satellite L505 - installer of recovery cannot complete

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L505 with pre installed Windows 7 64-bit. I have created a recovery DVD (2 discs) with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator after the first use.
  I want to restore to factory settings now, but I can't get back my L505 nor with the HARD drive or recovery discs recovery. The problem is the following:
  (I tried first with HARD drive recovery, did not work - I have the same problem with recovery DVDs)

  1. start with recovery disc 1
  2. you start the recovery process
  3. the process creates partitions and copy images (disc 1 and 2). After it is done it asks to restart the system.
  4. after restarting, I see on the screen: «Preparing for first use...» »
  5. after 1 Minute I see the message "Please wait... complete the installation.
  6. after 5-6 Minutes, the laptop restarts automatically (without error)
  7 step 4-6 is repeatd infinitely; and I can't use the lapotop

  It seems that the installation program is unable to complete the installation. It was the same problem with the recovery of HARD drive too, I thought that the recovery disc will help you... didn't.
  After several attempts I tried to delete all scores on HARD drive, but did ' t solve my problem.

  Any suggestion?
  Thank you in advance!

  Hi kwarc,.

  I have a similar portable Satellite L500. I've had the laptop with preinstalled Windows 7 also but I n t had problems to get it back. Both HARD drive recovery works and the Toshiba Recovery disk that I created.

  I think that it s really hard to say what is the reason why, maybe a problem with the image of recovery or material. You can try to install Windows using a Microsoft disc, please?
  It work?

  In the worst cases, you need help from an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop. :)

• The laptop recovery Toshiba Satellite L505-S5997 problem error: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5997 computer laptop and my hardrive recently crushed, impossible to restart.  I installed a SEAGATE 500 GB/sata/GO 16 MB of Cache, 7200 RPM hard drive. I ordered recovery for the computer disks and many of the drivers will not update or install without error that tells me that "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52) "error.  Also, when I try to update Windows 7 I get the ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. "  You may have to restart your computer. "When I try to download the service pack from the Web site it is usually interrupted with another error.  I tried to go to the Toshiba website and download the drivers needed and utitilities but nothing seems to work.  I am at a loss to try to seek and find a solution.

  Are you sure that the original problem was caused by a failure of the HD, did you test that the hd with the utility bootable disk from audit?

  As if you reinstalled to a new HD using that the required all defined recovery Tosh disk drivers would have been installed in this process.

  Assuming that Tosh then rebooted successfully after recovery, windows update would have run some important updates automatically. If that failed then it would seem that something is happening with your system.

• Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery disk contains only Windows 7 32-bit

  Hello, I have a question.

  I bought a Satellite L505 - 10 k a month ago. It came with Windows 7 x 64, 3 partitions (I don't know why, 3? seriously?). I tried to install Linux, delete the last partition, called 'Data' and I screw them completely. I used the recovery DVDs to bring the phone to default settings and I discovered the system recover is Windows 7 x 32.

  No idea why the systems are different?

  It's just a minor issue, I guess, the only bad thing is that the x 32 system recognizes not the 4 GB of RAM. I use now only 3 GB of RAM.

  Hi Cabo_Nobbdy,

  I think you should check your user manual and the specificaitions of your laptop first before starting a question. I founded the following information:
  + Operating system: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD) +.

  This means that the recovery for Windows 7 64-bit disk, you need to create by * you *!
  The DVD that came with your laptop recovery contains only 32-bit Windows 7, and normally, you can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. I put t understand why you didn't do it because after the first start, you get this message:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
  + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
  + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  _How to use the recovery disk? _
  That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
  In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

  _How to save files? _
  First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

  In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

  You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

• Satellite L505 - 10K - unexpected error when using recovery disc creator

  Toshiba Satellite L505 - 10 k

  Can't do any recovery disk when I open the toshiba recovery media creator, it says: an unexpected error has occurred. Close the program and then restart it (error code: 0D00F6-49-00000015) and then I click ok and then, it is once again and then I click ok and it is once again and I click ok and then the program comes and when I create the disc it comes to audit, but then it says: cannot read the following file. E:------Boot-fonts-chs_boot.ttf (error code: 02015-20-00000000).

  I really need help, I'm afraid something will happen to my computer, so is there someone who knows something about this kind of problem?

  Grateful for your help.

  Hi putte32,

  To be honest I never received this error before but it sounds like that recovery creator disc doesn t work properly... You should try a HDD recovery to restore the factory settings. Maybe you are able to create the recovery disk.

  Otherwise, I would contact an authorized service provider. If you can t create the recovery disk, the guy should be able to help you to complete this procedure.

• Waste product on Satellite L505 - 10 k without losing partition

  Hi all, my first post in the forum:

• Desperately need help - "the partition table on device sda was unreadable." Erase all data?

  I'm forced to install CentOs on my Macbook using a machine virtual (VMWare, which is what I downloaded my teacher recommended). It's for my first class of operating systems, so bare with me because I don't know anything about operating systems (except about how to use Windows and my Macbook). I am also a daughter, what makes my same technical knowledge that much more rare. However, I am eager to learn...

  In any case, I downloaded them both. When I launch Fusion, I choose the file> New> install Windows or another OS on a virtual machine> continue without disk> click on the button that says 'Operating system installation disc using image file'> then I select the appropriate iso CentOS (CentOS - 5.4 - i386-bin-1of6) file> continue> drop down lists, I choose LINUX as operating system and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as my Version> continue-> finish (no customization settings). It appears the screen of CentOS and I am invited by a text asking me if I want to install in text or graphics mode. (Don't know what to do here, but I select the graph). A bunch of white text scroll a screen of black background, then a blue screen shows up saying: 'Welcome to CentOS' at the top and a gray screen that says "to start testing CD media before installation OK press. Choose Ignore to ignore the media test and launch the installation. "I click on the red button (even once, if it is incorrect, let me know). A few rows of white text on black background (from anaconda... something on a video card...) then a nice graphic display of CentOS which I click NEXT. I then select English as my tongue (twice) and I gives me the message:

  "The partition table on device sda (VMware, VMware Virtual S 20473 MB) was unreadable. To create new partitions, it must be initialized, cauing the loss of all DATA on this drive. This operation will replace all choice on what players to ignore previous installation. You would like to initialize this drive, erasing all THE DATA? »

  I have no idea what to do here. I googled the message and others have been too, but they can talk about some hard file (and I have no idea what it is, and I can't seem to find mine).

  I can't lose what's on my hard drive (my school, music, photos, applications, files etc.). Clicking YES will erase my HD? I'm terribly afraid. I need to get this thing installed so I can do my operating systems class work, but I don't know if I did the installation correctly so far and especially, what to click at this point. Can someone help me out please (I spent 4 hours on this one today. "I have no one else to ask)? Finally, the installation is almost done after this step?

  Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated.

  I do not use Fusion, but I have VMware Workstation on Windows. I went through the same process that you went through. The answer to your question is that when you choose the operating system you install and you choose the option for the installation disc, it creates a virtual hard drive for you, size 20 GB. When they ask you to erase the hard drive, it's clear that virtual you create, not your actual computer hard drive. You can check by looking at the properties of the hard drive on your computer. It's probably 250 GB or 500 GB or something big like this. The CentOS WARNING speaks of a 20 GB hard drive, which is the size of the disk that VMware Fusion (and Workstation) create for CentOS.

• Satellite L505-141 - Purchas of recovery disk

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-141 (Ser: 3A027302K), but unfortunately he had a problem and my broken hard drive.
  I have change the drive hard and after that, I realized that I have my restore disk as well.

  I found that I can order the CD by (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/) but this site is to ship it in Europe and at the moment I'm living in Australia. In the billing details, I can't choose the Australia.

  So, my question is if it is possible I can upload an image (by buying of course)?
  If not, how I can put in place a delivery address in Australia?

  Thanks in advance

  > So my question is if it is possible I can upload an image (by buying of course)?
  Now, to my knowledge it of not possible to download the recovery image

  > If not how I can put in place a delivery address in Australia?
  I think the delivery in regions other than Europe isn't possible and I think that the European disc of recovery for laptops models cannot be operated outside of Europe.
