Satellite M70 - no hidden restore partition

• Hidden restore partition...

  The original HD has the OS partition and the hidden restore partition.  Since then, I installed a larger hard drive and installed XP Pro (SP3).  I still have the original HD.  Is it possible to burn an image or a copy of the hidden partition on a CD or a DVD?  And if so, isn't the work of restoration of the original machine?

  Thank you

  Found a small free utility called EASEUS Partition Master 5.0.1 Home Edition. Did exactly what I wanted. Found the partition, a few clicks and then 'display '. Restarted and voila, the restoration of partition ready for burning.

• Satellite M70 - after HARD drive partitioned, the OS does not start

  Hello

  Good then this is a real doozy, and I hope that someone will help.

  I started to fix my satellite m70 girlfriends using the disc of recovery etc, everything went fantastic, the HARD disk has been erased and Windows + all software has been reinstalled.

  Then I thought it would be a good idea to use partition magic to partition the hard drive, so I chose the main hard drive and cut 10GB of it to put in place a new partition.

  I rebooted, and then after Windows restarted again completed.

  NOW, it does not charge, it says no operating system, so I tried to start with the recovery disk and all over again...

  If I click on continue (to start the recovery process), however it is said now that the "Error #1828", free space is too small.

  I'm really angry that this has happened and I just want to start over again.

  Can someone help me with this?
  I can't access the Bios either (not sure if that might help), because I don't know the password (must be a fault im not aware of).

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  I think that this is the reason why you used a tool to change the size of the partition. At best, this should be done before you install Windows and 10 GB is a little too small for Windows. You must use at least 15-20 GB for the first partition where the BONE is placed.

  To resolve this problem, you must delete all existing partitions before using the recovery disk. Therefore, you can use a Windows XP disk or something else. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. Then the recovery disk should work.

• Destructive recovery - hidden restore Partition - Vista 32-bit

  Hello

  I need to do a clean install of vista but have lost all of the disks that came with the computer. How do I access the 'Hidden recovery Partition"(AKA a"destructive recovery") to do the clean install of vista?

  Hello

  If the disks provided with the computer, normally you don't have a recovery Partition.

  Makers you give one or the other.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  IF you have a recovery partition:

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc. according to the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  See you soon.

• I delete the hidden restore partition?

  Ive had a Toshiba Satellite laptop running XP 4.5 years and its great summer running.

  My grandmother got a Toshiba Satellite that is about 1.5 years with record better than mine. Its running Vista and its performance is pathetic. Liked a lot my laptop performs so much better and faster cela. I've restored the operating system. This is not enough.

  So now I want to install XP on the laptop using my recovery disk

  So first of all, I need to format the hard drive. When I hold the power button to power off, then zero holding, and put on I reached recovery utility. From there, I can choose Reset "out-of-box", or I can format it.

  My question is, if I choose the format, it will properly format the computer allowing me to run my recovery disk and reformatted it the hidden partition containing system restore information? I suppose not, but I would be sure

  Thank you
  Tim

  Hello

  As far as I know the recovery disc formats the entire HARD disk.

  This means that all data and all partitions will be erased from the HARD drive.
  After that, the recovery disk would begin a process that would create partitions (also the one hidden) that have been created as on the first day of purchase.

  Simply says that the laptop would be fixed to the factory settings.

• Satellite C660 will not restore, partition seems OK

  Hello

  I received a Satellite C660 difficulty that not recover. Can I use F8 (or 0) to enter "REPAIR YOUR COMPUTER", but the screen goes all black. I booted from a Linux disk and partition 'Data' seems OK though I have no way to check all the files. What are my options? Is it possible to create discs of restoration of this State?

  Thank you
  Tim

  Options?
  I guess that you have not created the recovery disc in the past. Fix?

  Well, in that case try to access the recovery partition of HDD (using Linux?) and check if you can use the recovery image files to create recovery USB flash stick as described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

  Otherwise I think you have to order the recovery at Arvato disk in order to recover the laptop.
  Of course if you have the Microsoft windows installation media, you can use it to install the system too pilots could be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page

• How to save the hidden restore partition?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660/07u Australian model. UI want to back up just in case s Toshiba recovery partition if a virus etc. How can I do? Because I can't see it on my computer.
  There is also the then hibernation partition which is the Toshibas recovery partition. One is about 1.5 GB and the other is 12.5 gig.
  Help, please

  Hi wsb

  You cannot back up this partition and use it later for the installation of the OS. Access to this partition, you can do if your laptop is only factory settings.

  What you need to do is create recovery DVDs. This recovery DVD, you can use for recovery image installation if something goes wrong. For the creation of recovery disks I recommend you to use only DVD-R media.

• Satellite M70: How partition the HDD via the restore CD?

  I'm going to format and reinstall XP on my Toshiba satellite M70 via the restore CD.
  It has 40 GB of hard drive. I want to ask is an option in the recovery CD to partition my HD before you install the OS, just as we can do so through XP CD?

  Enemy thanks any help.

  Of course, it of possible to create a partition with the recovery CD Toshiba delivered!
  You must use the recovery expert mode.
  So to change the size of the partition in the ghost window. For example, from 40 GB to 30 GB. In this case, 10 GB remains free.

  After the installation of the OS, it must go into disk management in the computer management. (right-click on the icon my computer Manage)
  Here, you only have to make the visible 10 GB partition.

  Another possibility is to use a Partitions Magic 8. This tool allows you to create and manage partitions after installing Windows

• T88 Partition on Satellite M70?

  Hello

  On my "new" and the first laptop from Toshiba is a Partition with large T88 and 204 MB file system.

  For what is necessary this partition?

  Thank you
  Lima

  Hello Lima

  You are right. Usually, this partition is created for Express media player or Qosmioplayer on Qosmio laptops.

  One thing confused me: all I know Satellite M70 is not delivered with the Express media player. Am I wrong? Can you please test it with media buttons on the right side near the keyboard?

• Satellite M70-309 and info on the recovery cd

  Hello!
  I'm Italian, I hope you understand me...

  So, I bought Satellite M70-309, fantastic for laptop and I have a question about recovery cd...

  In this cd there is always a 'clean' of Windows XP or XP + drivers + software (ghost image)?
  Because I'd like to partition the disk and clean install s.o.

  What can I do?

  Thank you!
  Ciao!

  Hello

  On the restore CD, you will find the image files.
  Image files contain the Windows operating system, Toshiba drivers and utility and some additional example OneNote, WinDVD or some burning applications programs.

  If you want to install a clean Win operating system you need to buy the original Windows operating system and then you can install your required applications.
  But for me it makes no sense, because if you want to use the full features of this magnificent phone you need all Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  If you don't need some applications you can simply remove it from the BONE.

• Blue Screen of Death and no XP CD - Satellite M70

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M70 that displays the blue screen of death at startup. It reads an error 0x000000ED reporting an error unmountable as the specific problem.

  Unfortunately, I have no CD of Windows XP to restore my computer. I have the Toshiba product recovery CD, but that seems like it will just format my computer, and I have important data, I want to absolutely not delete from my hard drive.

  I can't start in safe mode; Blue screen of death appears immediately at startup. If I try to pass int F8, advanced options, but after you have selected the system restore, it goes back to BSOD. I also tried to burn an ISO to the recovery file and the computer entered the Windows installation, but hangs on "Setup starts Windows.

  Any idea what the problem might be? And how can I solve this problem without deleting any info on my computer?

  THX.

  Hello

  The HARD drive can be removed very easily. It s placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to delete only one screw to remove the plastic cover that holds the HARD drive Bay.

  I think it's a better solution than you could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

  If you want to use a Toshiba Recovery CD then you must choose the advanced option which would allows you to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.
  And this partition will be formatted

  So in this case you would also lose some files from the HARD drive

  I'm not sure about BartPE just google for more details

• Re: Satellite M70-168: new HD and OEM license

  Hello

  My Satellite is out of warranty...
  Original HD (80 gb) broke, and it is impossible to find the same HD.
  I'll replace it with a HGST Travelstar 5 K 750 HTS547575A9E384 - HD - 750 GB - SATA-300.

  1. I think that 2 Sata (sata 300) is compatible, but work to only at speed of sata 1 (sata 150). Is this a problem?
  2. restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first inning, license is OEM allow this work, or block the restoration?

  Sorry for my bad language... Frenchie Frenchie's

  Thank you very much.

  Satellite M70 is old but good laptop and with the new drive HARD and clean OS preinstalled, it should work well. I had it a long time ago and if I m remembering well there connector SATA HDD SATA HDD can be used.

  I think 750GB can be too much and I don t know if it will work OK. Used mine M70 with 320 GB of HARD drive.
  You can test it, but please post comments.
  > Do to restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first round
  You can use the original picture but if I m remembering well that old book has been delivered with the recovery disk (WXP Home) and I put t know what you have created.
  > OEM license allow this work, nor block the restoration
  As far as I know, the license of the sticker belongs to the recovery image and you cannot use it for the activation of the operating system. If you use original recovery DVD that you got with your laptop you don t need. preloaded will be activated automatically.

• Satellite M70-151 - not possible to install new HDD

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite M70-151. bunch of old hard drive (100 GB Hitachi) reached the Windows XP screen then just ends with a blue screen a turn off laptop, immediately. I had to restore my data with an application file-rescue of another PC. It was not possible to start from old hard drive yet.

  Then I bought a Western Digital SATA II 250 GB hard drive that put my Windows XP CD in DVD player installed and tried to start. The laptop turns off as soon as the laptop computer tried to access the HARD disk.
  Thought, it was question of SATA II disk and tried a Samsung 160 GB Sata I - same result.

  BIOS recognizes the correct drives.

  If I try to boot from old hard drive, it shows the issue I mentioned first, but as before it reaches the Windows XP Boot screen before moving on to the blue screen before turning off the laptop. So start goes further than the boot with new hard drives

  The Windows XP CD I used is not the restore CD that came with the laptop, but a normal license.

  The heat is not a problem, I cleaned the CPU fan there is enough space to breathe the cold air mobile, the temperature is ok.

  * My questions are: *.

  Is there any special application running on laptops satellite, like special software of Toshiba, perhaps Backup, should I be aware of?
  What I need to preformat the hard drive, Toshiba-Hardware will recognize the hard drive?

  It would be great to get help on this issue, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

  Hello Andrew

  This behavior is very strange. I have some old Satellite M70-159 with 100 GB HARD drive. I also tested how it will work with a 250 GB HARD drive and all is well.
  On two drives, I have installed WXP using the Toshiba recovery image.

  I answer your two questions No. to install Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop you don't need some special Toshiba application or a piece of software.
  HDD should be recognized correctly by the BIOS and the Windows XP Home edition installation procedure should work well.
  What you can try is to set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  The strange thing for me is that judgment. The blue screen tells me that there may be some serious hardware problem, the HARD drive controller might be. It's really not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem.
