Satellite P10 - beginning of recovery with Windows 98 disc

Having just bought a new PC to decided to clean the old a because it does not work well and often breaks down. I started to run the cd-rom recovery (startup pc, press and hold C, etc.) and the first screen showed a message on * from Windows 98 *! I quickly abandoned the process, and there is no change to my PC.
As my old PC (Satellite P10) came with * Windows XP Home * I was surprised by the reference to Windows 98.

Can someone explain what is happening? I'm afraid to continue with the restoration.

Hi weematt_1,

I m not 100%, of course, but as far as I know it of normal that you see from Windows 98 for a short period because the installer of recovery is BACK/WIN98 founded but that doesn t mean Windows 98 will be installed.

If the recovery disk contains Windows XP will be installed, but Setup of recovery based image on the BACK and if Windows 98 starts.

You should try it! I'm pretty sure because as far as I know the same thing happened to me on my older Toshiba laptop.

  • Re: Satellite A200-237 ETA-6 with Windows XP

    Hi ppl,

    My name is Sibbe and I am from Holland and here again.
    A few months ago, I bought the Satellite A200-237, distributed initially with Windows Vista. I really enjoyed working with Vista, but everyone knows that Vista slows down your system. Also a lot of software and games do not work on Vista so I wanted to try if my laptop also works with Windows XP.
    So I installed Windows XP on my laptop, no drivers or software. After hours of searching on Google, I discovered that a lot of things that worked on my laptop with Vista don't work also on XP. For example:

    -FN button does not work on XP ((quand j'ai appuyé sur le bouton dans Vista, flashcards est apparu sur le dessus de mon écran) only the green light comes on but the F1 to F12 keys does not work)

    -Toshiba Power Saver ((en fait, cela ne fonctionne pas sur Vista mais c'était parce qu'il y avait beaucoup d'options dans les paramètres d'énergie de Vista) now, on XP, you need to install another program first before saving work?)

    In any case, is anyway how I can do these things work under XP. And, of course, would be nice if I could use the flash cards for the FN key, but I suppose Toshiba has never done those for XP.

    Data sheet:
    Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.09 GHz
    2 GB of RAM
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 256 MB
    230Gb S - ATA HDD
    Windows XP SP2 (not yet fully updated)

    Thanks in advance!

    If you have installed XP on the Satellite A200 series you should not t forget to update the BIOS to the XP version.
    If you n t update the BIOS, then your FN buttons will not work even if the correct drivers are installed.

    So be careful and do not forget that the BIOS and other XP drivers designed for you, the series are installed correctly!

Any help would be greatly appreciated and well thanks. A response as soon as possible would be great, thanks in advance.

    James

    I am sorry to say that it resembles a discarded HARD drive.

    You can boot from a floppy drive and see the HARD drive at all. If you can, then I suggest trying to format the drive in this way and then tries again.

    If this isn't the case, then you should get a new drive.

  • Re: Satellite Pro C660 - how to do the recovery with command prompt disc?

    I have a brand new Pro C660 of Satellite. It worked fine for a day, now it will not load windows. I don't have to create the recovery disks, as I only had a few hours (Yes, Yes, I know, should have been the first thing I did). All data are present (but backed up just in case USB) and I can see the folder HDDREcovery with all data intact. However, I can't run the application to create recovery discs. Does anyone know how to extract the images and create the media using only the command line? (I can go into command prompt by booting from the Windows 7 disc a friend). All options fail own laptop startup disks. It says 'Windows does not load' and I try startup repair, but it detects no error. Any help/thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!

    Hey,.

    It of not possible to create the drive with command prompt recovery. You must use the Windows Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

    Now it s too late for you, but you can order a disc here:

  • Start the recovery in Windows 8 disc

    I have an interesting problem on my computer, where it will start, crash, then start correctly. I don't know what is the cause (I turned on legacy for awhile but restore default values). I tried to do a windows reset already and it did not work, but I think a full factory reset should do the trick. I burned the recovery disks, but does not know how to use them. In windows 8 advanced restart, I tried the option to boot from usb because my dvd drive is external and it does not work. Anyone know how to start using the recovery disk? (the model is a craving for 4)

    EDIT: I managed to get started with them by turning off secure startup and by changing the boot order to boot from the drive optical usb from the menu of the bios for anyone who has the same problem.

    For anyone who has trouble finding how to start off usb/external drives with windows 8 and a ultrabook: in the menu of charms, click Settings-> laptop-> general settings and scroll to the bottom of the page. Here, there is an option to restart the computer in advanced mode. Click on restart. Now click Start with the device, and click the device that you want to start.

    If this does not work, try disabling startup secure in the efi settings. To access these settings, either click on settings-> uefi advance settings in the same menu as one that contained the ability to boot from an external drive (reboot of the art).

    If your hard drive won't start at all in the window, you should be able to start with the recovery cd by pressing f9, several times after pressing power (several times because the screen options goes so fast). This will open the options of uefi to start on another device.

  • Satellite Pro A300-2CW - necessary with Windows XP recovery disc

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with the software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I reinstalled several times this year, but now the CD has deteriorated and it no longer works.

    The machine was originally WIndows Vista installed with the option to create DVD recovery and a recovery of HARD drive option, but I think that it is not possible for Windows XP.

    Do I have any options? Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?

    Thank you

  • Satellite L650-12 q - recovery of Windows 7 does not work

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) edition in my laptop Toshiba Satellite (L650-12 q) and after a new start the Windows stopped working. I have a recovery disk that does not load (I'm done with the pointer in a blank screen) and the drive to install windows 7 would not work either (same thing). Safe mode no longer works.

    This probably means that the partition has a problem I'm wrong? -J' used Ubuntu Live CD, which confirmed that c:\ cannot be mounted while d:\ can.

    The problem however is double: a) I'm not sure that aspect of my data is accessible or not (I can't check) and b) I can't reinstall Windows, as Windows 7 installation process does not work.

    Any ideas please on what to do next? I want to access the partition, have searched on the internet (even tried with a Windows 98/XP boot disk), but had no chance that the partition is written in a newer way, which is not detected by them...

    Thank you in advance.

    > I have a recovery disk that was not loaded (I'm done with the pointer in a blank screen)...
    Do you use it for the first time?

    In any case, try to start the recovery disk, follow these steps:
    -Launch the laptop model and when you see the Toshiba screen home press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot options
    -When the boot menu appears to place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive
    -in the menu choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER
    ODD must start recovery disc playback.

    What happens when you do this?

  • Re: Satellite L650/0E8 - clean install with Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello.

    I recently bought a [Toshiba L650/0E8 laptop | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l650/psk1ja-0e8017] and accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

    I saved an image of "recovery" from my computer in 4 DVD-R using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I need to use Adobe Master Collection CS5, but this requires the 64-bit edition to use first Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5. I've put together by reading some articles on the net that I have to do a 'clean' install, but as I've always had a technician set up my computer and have never used a Toshiba laptop before, I'm unaware on how to backup all my files, programs, drivers, etc. before reinstall Windows 7 to a 64-bit version.

    -What do these recovery DVD? Is there anywhere I can download the software/drivers for the 64-bit version Toshiba? I apologize if these questions sound really stupid. Honestly, I'm rather confused as to what to do.

    Hey,.

    First of all I have to say it s even though you created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual. :)
    Some other users here forget it because they don t read their user's manual.

    Anyway, with this record, you can restore the pre-installed Windows version (Windows 7 64 bit) with all the drivers and tools. That means you n t need additional drivers and Toshiba, all tools will be installed automatically. You get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

    But if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk it will wipe the entire HARD drive, then you will need to make a backup of all your important files that you should always after installing Windows.
    This is why I would recommend an external HARD drive. They offer a lot of space to save all your data and with some models, you also backup software, but you can also use the built-in Windows backup tool, it s also nice and works well.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! ;)

  • Satellite Pro L850 1DR - problems with Windows 7 update KB2887069

    I have problems to install the KB2887069 update.

    It seems to install OK... prompt me to restart... when I do it, says it configures... GETS to 7%, then starts rebooting... watch it configures again... up to 7 or 9%... and then reports it is defect and restoring... restarts again... and it is quite... not installed and reference to Windows Update confirms it failed.

    All the other updates I had installed today very well once I realised KB2887069 was the problem and failed to update.

    I am running Win 7 Prof Serv Pack 1 64 - bit on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L850 1DR. I use my AV Microsoft Security Essentials software.

    For now I had to hide the update... but all of the bright ideas how overcome the problem. I tried the Microsoft site, but there is still no answers who brought a solution for me.

    Thanks in anticipation!

    I googled around for KB2887069 update and it seems that you are not alone with this problem to Microsoft Update. I also found your request in the forum, Ms.

    In other words, that's not a problem of mobile by this must be resolved by Microsoft.
