Satellite P205-s6257: need of recovery CD

Hello

I've had this laptop for about 5 months, but I needed to get my computer back. I was half way thorugh the recovery and it has encountered an error. It was corrupted, I don't remember what it was precisely because only a few months before.

I Googled it at the time and it has been altered. Since then, I've been using windows XP but it is not supported for this model, which means that it's difficult to find the drivers and everything.

In any case, I thought that it would be a little clever and install windows Vista via the upgrade disc that came with my computer and I managed with my key that is printed in the system.
The only problem was that it would not activate.

I'm guessing that because it was an OEM serial number, but the phone numbers, he gave me to activate windows were dead.
I need the disk recovery sending me but I live in Cyprus, so I don't really know where to start.

Can anyone help please?

See you soon
Oliver

Hi Oliver

It can be tricky, because you probably have a model of cell phone US and your local service partner will probably say they can offer recovery DVD for laptop designed for this market.

It will be interesting to know what error occurs during the recovery procedure.

I don't really know what you can do. Either you ask for assistance by service. They should start the recovery procedure to see exactly what is happening, or you can get the facilities of Microsoft Vista DVD. All the drivers and other stuff of Toshiba you can find on Toshiba support page.

Update is not the best solution for me. I prefer the new installation of the OS.

    I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate Home and now my Webcam does not work. When I tried to update the driver, I get a message that says that Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

    The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

    I succumbed to find the drivers on the Chicony website. My laptop is a Satellite P205-S6257 and the Toshiba is not yet display on their support site. I don't have a disk for webcam.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator is a tool of Toshiba that created the recovery disk available on HARD drive recovery image.
    It s NOT support tool like Ghost, etc. that allows you to create an image of your operating system preinstalled.
    If the Toshiba Recovery files are not available on the HARD drive then the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator will not work!

I would of course pay.

    As I already wrote in the other thread the laptop must be equipped with HARD drive recovery and you should be able to create a DVD of own recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    Please check your system and try to burn your own DVD of recovery first.

    I saw that there is a small partition in the HD (about 4 GB), this partition for recovery purposes? How to restore the machine?

    Hello

    I assume you have a model of portable U.S. am I right about that?

    Just a short comment: normally, the recovery DVDs comes with most models of laptops. In case this recovery DVDs is not provided there may be an option to create own recovery DVDs for the manipulation of the Fryer. Please check all the documents, that you got with your laptop. Maybe somewhere, you can find information on this topic.

    I need a recovery dvd for this laptop because he won 't longer boot.
    Can I order or download?
    Thank you

    Your Satellite is quite old and I think that you can not order more. Recovery image is not downloadable, so this option is also not a solution for you.

    You can try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask them if they have this disc.
    What you can do is to install a clean operating system. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Re: Recovery of Satellite A215-S7425 need disk

    Good so I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7425 and I was wondering if anyone of you can have this same laptop too.
    The reason why you can ask is this.

    I need a recovery disk for my computer because it has a virus and will no longer work if I have to buy the drive. I called Toshiba and they said it would be $ 50 or more. That's why I came to you. I was wondering if someone had this computer the recovery disc and a someway could burn or something and give it to me, I will try to pay back you somehow.

    If someone with this computer is interested to help me would you please message me.

    Thanks for your time,

    Hello!

    I think that there are not others that buy you a new recovery disk.
    The forum here is not for exchange recovery disks.

    I know it hard to hear, but the first, what you need to do if you get a laptop is to burn a recovery disk and you didn t do that.

    You can also ask a local ASP (authorized service provider) for a recovery disc.

    Good bye
