  Thank you

  Hello

  The recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will be also possible to erase all partitions created on the HARD drive!
  This means that you will lose your photos and all data stored on the HARD drive.

  Therefore, you must back up the data before using the recovery disk!

• Satellite A300 - is the recovery disk contains all the drivers?

  Hello

  Yes, the Toshiba Recovery disk contains all the drivers and tools for your laptop. After using the Toshiba Recovery disk, you have the same settings that you have started the laptop the first (out of the box). This means that the disc contains a picture of the factory settings.

  The disc is very easy to use: you only have to boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. Windows, and all drivers will be reinstalled in a few minutes.

• Satellite L505: recovery would erase all my partitions?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505, using Windows 7 Home Premium. I created a "recovery disc" using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, saved to a USB key.

  My hard drive is divided into 2 partitions (using disk management, in computer management), a major, c contains the operating system and all of my installed software and secondary, D:, all my data.

  I would like to reinstall Windows 7 using the USB recovery, but my question is: which clears the main partition, c only, or it will delete everything in D: so?

  Thank you very much!

  > will erase the main partition, c only, or it will delete everything in D: so?

  The Toshiba Recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and would also be possible to erase all partitions that are created on the HARD drive
  Therefore, you must back up the data on an external (USB HDD, drive, USB flash memory, etc.) before you run the recovery procedure

• Satellite A200 - recovery disk problems

  I just bought the (all new store big tech) Satellite A200 for a few months and not used because I was on business trip to take. This weekend, I opened it up and running for a while.

  After that I read the manual and found that I need to create a recovery from the tools provided disk. However, the problem start here:

  1. when I click on "Recovery Disc Creator", a message is display "no HDD Recovery area!, the toshiba Recovery Disc creator cannot be launched."

  2 then I call center service support and to inform that there is a problem with the "recovery disk creator" and I have to retrieve the laptop using the hard drive partition recovery (waiting when 0 turning on the system) and the next step is complete:
  a. the laptop's boot in the recovery screen function.
  b. when I try to "restore windows PC" (option 3), it is display and error message on file not found.
  c. when I try to click on "restoring the recovery disk" (option 5), it asks me to put in the recovery disk which I do not have?

  NOTE: I'm sure that the hidden recovery partition is therre. 1.46 GB. There is no way that I can access the hidden partition from a normal windows vista screen (without drive letter).

  Then, I called the support center again (now what difference person support) and to inform you that:

  1. my recovery partition is corrupted and I need to get the recovery disk again (which I did not), it's going to cost me AUD $66 (I got from HP one and cost me AUD $15 and will be free if I come and Pick-up) for administrative costs. And it is a procedure.

  2. I explain to the support staff that it is brand new in the box laptop and I consider it as defective on arrival (DOA or FOA.

  3. I also ask what causes the problem and has been a consultant with the following reason:
  a. I may have deleted the partition accident (impossible because I still can start on the recovery partition, but can not recovery which all).
  b. There may be a virus infect in my laptop which was remove my recovery file in the hidden partition (ridiculous, you can delete some files in the drive on which you cannot yet access).
  c. I should create a recovery disc when the first time LAPTOP computer service. Which it is recommended, I get a question that if I do not, or I forgot to do so, this means that the software will automatically delete the system restore image file? I have no answer for that.

  State (when I try to post this messgae), I'm still waiting for the staffs of complaint call fomr back (very tie when you talk in support of service these days).

  NOTE 2: I would like to raise these issues, not because I want something (I do both IT support) complaints but I just want to solve the problem:

  1. is there some sort (software) allow me to access the hidden drive in and out of recovery disc image, my laptop still have the partition.

  2. is there a link I can download image recovery (in iso format) disc again? I've known it is not a question of wise, but when I ask the support staff that can re - install windows vista with the license key from the bottom of the laptop and has advised that it is not work or turn on.

  3. is there someone out there has similar problem

  Hi Thomas

  I have a European model A200 (don t know what you model is) and the A200 was NOT equipped with the option of HARD drive recovery! This means that you cannot create your own recovery disk!
  My laptop came with the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs!

  Still is it that your 1.46 GB hidden partition is not the Toshiba recovery partition but Vista hidden partition. It contains the WinRE files that are useful for repairing the operating system if something will go wrong!

  Second, the Toshiba Recovery folder is too big for the partition of 1.46 GB!
  So it is not possible that it would be placed on this s partition!

  So finally, it seems that you will not be able to create the own recovery disk and therefore, you have to order it from the ASP in your country.

• Satellite M100 recovery disk failing after loading ramdisk image

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite M100 (bought mid-2006), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, Intel CPU T2050.

  I decided to have a cleaning and use the restore disc to return the laptop to factory settings, and then reinstall only what I really wanted.
  I had this done yesterday, I had forgotten something, then he ran again about 4 hours later.
  The first time that the restore worked, now it reboots once the progress bar reaches full when he says "Loading RAMDISK Image".
  After the progress bar reaches full, the mouse pointer appears for a few seconds then restart the computer.

  Nothing has changed with the hardware or BIOS, and what is on the HD should not have any effect because I am booting from the DVD.
  Can someone please help? I am at a loss to explain what happened in this interval of 4 hours.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  I agree with Akuma.
  Sometimes I can read here on this problem and I know you should only remove the partition on the HARD disk. Therefore, you can also use a Windows XP CD from Microsoft or the FDISK utility.

  After you delete all the partition, you should be able to run the recovery disk.
  Check it!

  Good bye

• 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 L750D - recovery disk installer fails

  So, I bought a L750D Satellite today in a chain store.
  They had a double the RAM for free offer.
  There is no disk in the packae and when you start the laptop, it goes into windows 7 and asks if you want to install the 32-bit version or 64-bit.
  I understand that this example uses a recovery of the windows installation to install the required version.

  My problem is that it breaks down. It crashed on the first machine to which I took and it crashed on the second they gave me too much.

  Now, I tried to use the Windows 7/repair of my desktop PC Installation disk and that does not work either. A friend suggested I bring the machine, re - install the original 8 GB of RAM and then redo the installation. I suspect that this might be the problem, like rising to 16 GB might be the problem when you use a Windows restore Toshiba seems to have adopted as the ONLY way to install the OS of the computer.

  I'll try it tomorrow, but that someone has other suggestions that I desperately need to have this machine work tomorrow.

  I read a lot of discussion about this stuff all over the web, but no solution beyond buying a disk recovery tool. Seems a bit of a scam really.

  TIA.

  Hello

  First of all, I doubt that the 16 GB of RAM would be supported on this laptop.
  Then it was wrong to upgrade to 16 GB of RAM, and I guess that was the problem, why the Windows system can be installed for the first time.

  Second: the disks are not part of the package, because all laptops from Toshiba (also from other manufacturers) supports a recovery system. Means that you must create a clean recovery disk if you buy the laptop. There is a Toshiba Recovery Media Creator called tool that creates the recovery disk.

  I'm not sure if the recovery files would be still available on disk HARD because you said that you tried to install win 7 using a disc belonging to your desktop PC, so eventually the recovery files are now removed.

  However, check if it is possible:

• my recovery disk is all most complete of what will happen

  I just need to know what to do about my recovery disk. It is almost full.

  I just need to know what to do about my recovery disk. It is almost full.

  Recovery disk cannot be complete, unless you have been adding items, such as backing up files that him.

  Your restore partition is put in place by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
  You use it to restore your system.

  You are NOT supposed to touch it... not for nothing is add or remove anything from.

  You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

  1 ask for a set of discs of recovery of re - install the operation almost where the system crashes. Total cost is minimal and it is essential that you should have a set.
  2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask the person how to remove all elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
  They created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
  Let them teach how you to.

• Satellite A50 - recovery disk is not working

  Hello

  I'm trying to do a clean install on my laptop, but the recovery disk is not working.
  The files transferred to the laptop, but once done, I get an error message that says: "the system is not fully installed. Please run Setup again."

  Does anyone have suggestions as to how to fix it?

  It took me four days to get to this point and make me very frustrated.

  Thanks heaps

  Naomi

  Hello

  What is the installation using another CD; That is to say the Microsoft Windows XP disk?
  Have you tried that?

  In my opinion, this would help to pinpoint the problem
  The error message can be linked to different issues; I mean the HARD drive or a single partition problem could also be possible.

  Try to format the drive HARD whole again. Delete all partitions from the HARD drive and check if you can proceed with the installation.

  But if you will not be able to install the OS by using the recovery disk and other disks then a question must relate to a part of the material. (possibly HDD)

• How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

  Hello

  I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
  When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

  But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
  I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

  How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

  I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

  If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

  Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
  Shane

  If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

  Return to your partitions.
  When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
  WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
  -C for Vista partition
  Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

  Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

  So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
  -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
  -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

  That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

• Recovery disk to a partition on Portege M300

  Hello

  I reinstalled my xp win since another cd of xp on portege m300 laptop and does not burn a recovery disk hard of the with windows that provided thoshiba computer, with his comments today that you burn your own backup instead of they send you an original cd of win xp. I want a cd backup/recovery cd now and I see that they compartmentalized (or what his name) a separate 2, 5 GB hd with the name "HDDRECOVERY".

  This resulted in my windows has installed on E: cause it's a 2, 5 GB partioned HDspace C: windows called and I could choose E: to install win xp and I didn't erase the siloed 2, 5 GB of space. I toughed I somehow could access this file of 5 GB HD 2, but it dosen´t show in 'my conputer' in the windows disk management tools not. You can't do anything in this manegmant tool so that it can show in "my computer". I would like to access this area and burn this HDDRecoveryfile so I can get my respective windows that followed when I bought the computer from the win xp serial that is provided under this cumputer did not work with my new cd of win xp.

  PS. How to install windows on C: If the installer of windows think that c is the 2, 5 GB partioned file? I don't want to delete it.

  Hello Andrew

  The situation with the Portege M300 is a bit complicated, but I'll try to explain. Portege M300 (I believe only in Germany) is delivered without Recovery DVD and also Tools & Utilities CD. The two of them can be created by the user, but only if the appliance is preinstalled at the factory. The unit of the factory preinstalled with original image contains a tool called Recovery Disc Creator. With this tool, you can create the two media. There is no way to do it without this tool.

  Unfortunately this tool you can not find on the Toshiba download page. Because of this, you can keep that partition on the HARD drive but it has no sense at all. You have your own OS preinstalled without Recovery Disc Creator.

  There are two solutions:
  1. you can format entire HARD drive, create clean partitions and install own OS using all things, that you can find on the Toshiba download page.
  2 contact authorized please partner in your country. They may try to order the original DVD of recovery for you. If this recovery DVDs is not available the service partner can make factory settings again but with costs.

  That s all I know Portege M300 and preinstalled software. If you have any other questions, please write again.

  Good luck!
