Satellite M45: Can I do recovery without disk

Hello

My DVD player does not work because of the VCD virtual drive program. (I hate this prog)
When I try to uninstall Virtual VCD, everything goes crazy and no executable can be run.

So I have to install the original image using the image on the HARD drive.
I did dozens of times on other laptops (CTRL + F11) but I could not know how I can do it on my Toshiba Satellite M45.

I appreciate your help
Thank you

> Can I do recovery without the disc?

What to say I created a clean image of the operating system file using Norton Ghost utility and saved this file on the second partition.
In this case I can still use this image file to restore the C partition any and I do not need the recovery CD.

I ve made a good experience with utility Ghost and in my opinion it s one of the best tools to create images and backups.

Best regards

  • Since another laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 - can I use Recovery CD?

    Hello

    I can't get a computer to load Vista (Equium l300 (I think).
    Ubuntu loads very well (I have a linux partition 8 GB, with GRUB installed in a separate partition), but when I try to load vista I get "to go". "and nothing happens.

    I tried HDDRecovery by pressing '0' or 'F8', but this gave me a check disk for errors and nothing more.
    I always have a backup of HARD drive recovery in another partition, but I know not where to place them, can you tell me where?

    Then I discovered that I have a wife satellite toshiba recovery disc.

    I can use it to recover the satellite or it will remove a real installation of Vista, put a 'pirate' new copy in its place?
    If I can't do that, can someone tell me where to place the folder HDDRecovery image?

    In General, Toshiba create materials recovery and images of recovery for each laptop model separately.
    Each laptop model has different hardware and recovery images are not the same.
    Before the start of recovery it will be checked if the recovery image belongs to some portable computers. If the identification is not just installation of recovery is interrupted.

    One last thing. If you have changed the structure of the partitions or installed some other OS, you will not be able to use the recovery saved on the HARD disk image.
    It is bad enough that you have ignored the reminder of recovery with clear instructions on creating recovery DVDs.

  • Can I restart vista without disk?

    I lost my reboot disk and I was wondering if I could do without the disc.

    You need the recovery disk/s Reinstall Vista.

    For the replacement of recovery disk/s, contact the manufacturer of your computer.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Try to do this.

    It is not a reinstall drive

    You will have a Vista repair disc:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

  • Satellite A305-S6872 - how to reformat without disk?

    The user guide has nothing on the reformatting process. I can't find a way to make a record of recovery anywhere on the system. There is a general lack of information on the subject.

    Help, please.

    Hi mate,

    Normally to create a recovery disk, you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. With this tool, you can create a bootable recovery disk, where you can restore the settings to factory in a few minutes.
    In addition it is also possible to use the function of HARD drive recovery. Therefore, you will find some interesting information in your user manual.

    An alternative, you can reinstall Windows using a disc of Microsoft.

  • How can I reinstall Vista without disks?

    Mr President.

    Already I had original windows product keys and have no installation CD can I use another cd and put my keys, it will work as genuine.

    Read the information below:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Call the manufacturer of your computer.
    Request a set of recovery disks. The cost of the disk is minimal and the money will be well spent.

    Also ask to speak to a technician and learn how to access your recovery partition (if you have one) and the use of the recovery partition.

    Note:

    If you have files that you want to keep, save these first before you restore your computer.

  • Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

    I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

    The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

    If this is true, how should I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
    The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

    But back to your question;
    If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
    The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

    If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

    I hope I could help

  • Satellite A100-999: the process of recovery (without recovery DVD/CD)?

    Hi all

    Here is my GOAL: I want to reinstall the original Windows Vista as it was when we bought this laptop.

    My PROBLEM: we never managed to create recovery DVDs (just after the purchase), always gave an error... today and to my surprise, I can't find any operating system recovery tool is...

    1. to the power of power off: I tried the button "0" (as read on the internet), but did nothing special...

    2 - I tried then in the options menu (after F8 on reboot): FIX YOUR COMPUTER
    Then (after choosing the Spanish language and the connection as a user), I tried to launch the WINDOWS RESTORE COMPLETE lo, but he said that no CD/DVD... (no current number with this = CD/DVD drive works fine)

    3 - I then tried another interesting option: RECOVERY HHD (more or less like this, as I have in Spanish version)... Just a pop-up open (maybe on the DVD recovery) but without any touch of the process...

    More complicated now, isn't?

    4 INFO:
    I could find the hidden partition and display it. It contains files and folders: a record 'source', 'boot.sdi"if I remember correctly... and maybe more...
    => I copied on a USB key and registered on a new DVD (and the image.iso of them as well) and repeat points 2 and 3 above, but nothing has changed... (the content of this DVD is read without problem on another laptop)

    => QUESTIONS:
    -This folder and files (found in the hidden partition) means that the recovery is still here?
    -Are there a special file.exe or the procedure to follow in order to be able to launch these files found?
    (my ultimate last chance: order than the recovery CD of Toshiba, if it is still possible)

    Thanks in advance
    S.

    > I understand now that these files (hidden partition) are those used for the display of this special menu (after you click REPAIR MY COMPUTER) with the COMPLETE WINDOWS RESTORE, RECOVERY HHD...

    > Is that correct?

    No, the small hidden partition is created by the Windows system, and these aren't the recovery disc files.
    Toshiba Recovery disk files are placed (in general) on the D partition, it is not hidden.

    > So I guess I should have a COLLECTION case somewhere... but I read in some messages of this type of comment: 'the series A100 not fitted the HARD drive recovery partition ".

    That could be just because the A100 is old series and drive HARD recovery was not available at the moment
    As far as I know the series A200 and new series were equipped with recovery option.

    > If not available, I'm already so on this last-chance-step explained above? This means to order the DVD of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Here is the link to the page where you can order a recovery for the EU Toshiba notebook disk series but I don't very well if you'll be able to order this disc don't due to the age of the laptop of m.
