Satellite Pro A210 - how to retrieve it with the recovery disk lost?

I had some problems with my individual Pro A210 (AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Vista, 120 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM), and it seems that I did the recovery disks when new and you have misplaced them.

What can I do?

The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

If this does not work, press F8 rapidly after the Toshiba start screen to enter in the Windows Start menu, where you can choose to run the recovery/restore.

  • Satellite - black screen and can't restart with the recovery disk

    I have a black screen and can not restart with the restore disc but it seems to be.

    I find this odd, I can't ask Toshiba direct on my problem, but I have to wait for one nature in the heart of my problem or give me a helping hand

    Hey,.

    This means that you can see anything on the screen of the laptop or only if you try to start with the recovery disk?
    You can start Windows or access the BIOS?
    You must post a few more details, otherwise we can t help you :(

    Furthermore, Toshiba is not your first contact, you should ask an authorized service provider. They can help you too! :)

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120: cannot select an option on the recovery disk

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which has recently been faced with the "alert: System protection failure! "password:" problem that it turned up on some BIOS password unknown on its own in the middle of normal operation.

    I got that fixed local Toshiba ASP.
    But now, when I was about to reinstall the Windows cos she had slow, the possibility that the recovery media normally give to just format the first partition become invalid.

    In the settings dialog box, the option is always there but it cannot be selected by clicking on it (from the color of the background showing this option not valid currently)... which means that the only selection (selected by default) is format all of the 38 GB... I don't want to do.

    Someone knows what is wrong and how can I solve this problem.

    I assume that you are using Windows XP and the restore CD also contains the XP operating system.
    It s also interesting if this option has worked in the past?  :|

    However, it s really mysterious that the solution cannot be executed and unfortunately I do not know why it happened

    In the worst case, you'll have to back up data from the HARD drive and format the whole HARD drive :(

  • Re: Satellite L300D comes with the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I don't get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know if Satellite L300D is provided with the recovery disk?

    As much I know computers made from the middle of 2007 aren't provided with the operating system recovery disks. How can I find out what year my satellite is made?

    Thank you very much

    All new models of laptops including your are delivered without the recovery DVDs.
    Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.

    Akuma is right. "You need to create a recovery media using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut that you can find on the desktop. Please do so and for the creation of recovery media I recommend you to use media high quality as TDK or Verbatim DVD-R.

    You can install OS using the F8 key at startup to the top. The guideline how to proceed you will find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Note please. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install another operating system on the first partition. the second partition can be in original condition, but this F8 option will be gone.

    If you have any other questions please let me know.

    Hello

    Sorry, mate, but you're wrong.
    All drivers for Win 7 for Satellite Pro A210 are available on the European driver of Toshiba page that I recommend you check out once again

    Given that this question does not appear using Win XP, I can say with certainty that this has nothing to do with the material, but it s a software related issue
    I recommend updating the graphics card driver

    In addition, there is a new BIOS for Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE it s v2.0

  • Satellite Pro 2100; How to get additional software without recovery CD?

    How can I get the software WinDVD and Drag'n Drop CD for my Satellite Pro 2100 without the recovery disk?

    Post edited by: yirms

    This is not possible because this additional software is not available on the download page of Toshiba why?
    Because this isn't a Toshiba Software, but software manufacturers, 3rd party.
    This software comes with the recovery disc and can only be used with your laptop!

    I think it has something to do with licensing issues

  • Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

    Hey

    I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

    My specs are:
    Intel Pentium
    2 GB OF RAM
    Hard drive 160 GB

    > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

  • Satellite U400 cannot create DVDs of recovery with the recovery disk creator

    The partition containing the files of recovery is there, as well as the folder HDDRecovery. I have add a few files on this partition, this could be the problem?

    Thanks for your help.

    > I have some files on this partition, this could be the problem?
    N ° if you didn t change the partition structure should not be the problem.

    I can't refresh PC or create the recovery disk. He keeps going with error message "Cannot find the necessary files" and tells me to insert the recovery media. There is no system restore point, and I've upgraded to Windows 7 Windows 8 Pro without a disc, so I can't do anything. Help! Strangely, nusrmgr.cpl disappeared, although I had seen the shortcut a few weeks ago (no, I'm not deleting it).

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1. Why are you trying to cool off the computer?

    2 are you facing problems with Windows 8?

    3. how many accounts is configured in the computer?

    You can scan the file system (CFS) auditor. This will replace the corrupted Windows files.

    Follow these steps:

    (a) start the desktop view.

    (b) open the command prompt, right-click in the left corner when the windowappears, and select prompt (admin).

    (c) type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    You can also try to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

    If the problem persists, you will need the DVD to perform repair installation of Windows 8. If you download the installation of Windows 8 files, check your emails, there should be a link to download an ISO file. Download and burn the file to a DVD.

    The DVD to perform the repair.

  • How to delete files on the recovery disk?

    I'm running out of space on my recovery disk.  I noticed that the compress and the index of the boxes are both checked.
    I would like to know what to do and how to delete files on the recovery drive.

    Thank you for your help.

    It is very unwise to delete these files, because it is your ONLY way to recover your PC in the event of catastrophic problem with the operating system that cannot be repaired by returning your PC to set up "out of the box.  In fact, most of the PC with a recovery partition you cannot save data on that partition.  If you are still determined to do the easiest to remove these data is boot safe mode with command prompt.  Set up the focus on the recovery partition and delete everything form the command line.  I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you don't know how to do that you probably shouldn't be remove your data from the recovery Partition because without falling back on you should have to be pretty savvy to reload Vista and install all the drivers on your own.  Locutys of Borg

    Hello

    In the past, you probably had old laptop models shipped without recovery disc option HARD and recovery facility old ghost. Now it works a little different.
    Here is my little explanation:

    Question n ° 1
    > Is it possible to use the recovery disk, but to choose the partition that I want to be to install the operating system?
    N ° before installation of HARD drive recovery image will be erased completely and create new partitions (factory State).

    It will not work. Installation of recovery work as installation DVD or HARD drive recovery procedure.

  • I reformatted my T520 with the recovery disk, but Windows cannot start

    I reformatted my T520 with my recovery disk. When the computer restarts, it says that Windows cannot start properly. Help, please.

    I finally solved the problem; Here is my solution:

    I have determined that the backup image has been bad, and this is perhaps why the recovery disks have been as bad. I tried to use both to reformat the C:\drive several times without success. Fortunately, I had a Windows 7 disc from another computer that I no longer use. However, the T520 would not be updated to Windows 7 using this disk, so I run Diskpart to reformat all (this removes everything, including the image.) Then, I was able to reinstall Windows 7.

    With this new facility, would not any responsible drivers, including LAN and wireless drivers. I went on the Lenovo Web site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?selector=expand to download the driver for "Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg). This provided wireless access to the computer. (Downloaded the driver on another computer, saved on a USB stick to transfer to the T520.) Restarted the computer in case where. Then, I went to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE to download ThinkVantage System Update 5.0. After you have installed this software and reboot, all the necessary drivers would be so loaded.

    Unfortunately, if you don't have any Windows disk, you will need to pay 50 dollars to get one from Lenovo. Lesson learned? Next time I buy a new computer, the first thing I would do is to reformat and reload the computer by using the image while still under warranty. I did several times with my other Lenovo laptops without fail. I have to do this once every 3 years each time my computer seems to slow down. This is the first time, it didn't work.

    I hope this help anyone who is in the same situation.

    (Boy, I have miss the good old days when I could fix everything from the DOS command prompt.)

  • Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

    Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
    (In no particular order):

    * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
    * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
    * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
    * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

    Bah!

    Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

    Best
    David

    If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
    You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

    Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.

    If you mean the BIOS password, then I have some bad news for you.
    If the BIOS password is not known to you, you can't bypass the password.
    This can be done by the partner of service authorized in your country.
