• Satellite Pro C660-239 - restore from recovery media error

  Hello!

  I have a laptop from a client, it is a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-239, and I'm having a strange problem.

  The original hard drive failed, and as the laptop is out of warranty, we bought a new hard drive and ordered the recovery media to this model, our assistance to repair local toshiba.

  After the installation copied the files on the disk, the imageX command fails when you restore the image with error files:

  "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

  The hard drive is new, and I also tried with more than 2 hard drives, as well as with an external cd-rom drive.

  I spoke with the support of assistance local repair, and told me that this happens because the ins new ' t compatible with the recovery media hard drive?

  One of the new disks hard I tried, was the exact same model as the original hard disk, and the error persists, so the hard drive may not be the problem.

  Y does it have that no change in the recovery media is corrupt?

  Could also be a motherboard problem?

  Thank you

  > Is there any change in the recovery media is corrupt?
  Of course, this is possible.
  In case the HARD disk is OK, the recovery media may be damaged.

  > Could also be a motherboard problem?
  I don t think so. I imagine that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS and the error message says something about corrupt directory. I guess the disk directory that is the meaning and I think that the media should be replaced.

• Satellite Pro 6100 how to use recovery DVD-ROM with vmware products

  Hello

  I like to use the recovery DVDs of product (T201651-GR) of my Satelite Pro 6100 on VmWare player, because I use openSUSE Linux as main operating system (not Windows installed on the hard disk).
  I do like install and save hard disk laptop, so that to restore later inside the vmware. If it works?
  I wonder if someone can tell me how to use my legal version of Windows XP on VmWare player?

  Thank you in advance,
  Bernd

  Hello

  I doubt that it works with VmWare.
  Why?
  Because the restore CD contains the ghost image files and you will need to boot from the recovery CD for installation.

  So I see the chances of getting this job running VmWare.

  Hello Joe

  I saw in some your previous assignments that you use external DVD drive too.

  I use my Tecra with Replicator port and a multi LG external DL disk attached to the port replicator (due to the fast data transfer firewire connection). Everything works fine and I wonder how you can have all of these problems.

  If your device is set up correctly, including all the original drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba download page should not have any problem. I hope that you have installed the unit without port replicator and you don t forget Mobile extension tool. As much as I know there is no driver for Replicator port and all the signals are loop just to the ports of the replicaror port.

  What is the status of the Panasonic player in Device Manager? The drive is displayed in Windows Explorer?

• Satellite Pro C660-225: shrink the recovery partition englarge C partition

  When I first came to this product, prior to the opening, I thought that all 500 GB would go to the first partition, but then I saw that the recovery partition has half the 500 GB just for recovery which is unnessecery.

  But I had no problem with it at the time and used the recovery (after the backup to a disk) for ubuntu partition, so I have a dual boot.

  But now I came to realize that the games I download are taking up more room on my C drive. The problem I have is that I can reduce my recovery partition and expand the C drive.

  Does anyone know a work around?

  You will need a 3rd party software to reduce the recovery partition and add the partition of the free space in the existing C.
  I would recommend a freeware tool called Gparted

  But before you start this making, create a recovery disc!
  This is recommended in the case where you would try to put the computer laptop configuration using this disc.

• Creating discs of recovery for Satellite Pro C660-2JR

  Hello

  is there a way to have the recovery disks installed win7 x 32 instead of x 64 (Satellite Pro C660-2JR)

  If your laptop has been delivered with the 64-bit version, you can create the recovery for this preinstalled only version disk. With other words, saved on the recovery partition recovery image is recorded on DVD disc. It's nothing more than that.

  If you want to use the 32 bit OS, you must check if your phone model is supported for him and install the clean version.

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

  Hello

  Any help would be appreciated,
  I'm reluctant to buy the discs just to have the same problem with them also!

  Try please create recovery DVDs. A few empty drives are cheap. If the same problem happens again I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and explain the situation. It's not your fault, and maybe you will get new free recovery disk.

  All don t delete anything on the HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro C660 - 21(d): question about the partitions on the HARD disk

  Hello

  I just started using my new satellite pro c660 - 21 d

  My office has drive c, d, u, s
  C either windows 7, Vista D
  The drive U is 342 meg in size

  I didn't have the disk in two 230 gig drive so thoughtless narrowed C drive of 70 GB and D drive with 10 gig (it's the primary recovery partition

  I have now two empty partitions of 170 Gig (from c drive)
  and 214 Gig (from d drive)
  But windows will only allow me to add one as a disc of the user
  He says may not have more than 4

  The reason for being there is a partition of Active recovery without letter.

  I can't unshrink drive C or drive D then I went with 170 GB of unused space.

  I guess that a solution would be to lose the data disk 10 gig that contains the recovery software but then I don't have a backup.

  Suggestions as to what I could do to work around this problem.

  I am now under the Create recovery disks (2 of them) so maybe I could remove one of the partitions after.

  I don't know why he answered instead of edition, but if the recovery disc creation complete with no errors, I can remove the hard drive?

• Satellite Pro C660 - restore to factory settings

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660.

  I have some problems with this computer and I intend to sell it.
  I want to set the computer to how it was when I took it out of the box.

  I read a lot of popular advice on that. I tried holding 0, which do not work. I entered in the system by pressing f8. I get a screen when I get options on what I want to do with my computer, but it is not an option that allows me to look again at 'out of the box"State.
  What I read, this option is supposed to be here.
  I have no restore disk as laptop did not come with one.
  I am running to options

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Hi Laura

  What you want to do is HARD recovery disk image installation and it works as described in the
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  To be clear: this works if your laptop is always the factory settings. If your laptop is preinstalled with the clean version of the OS option repair your computer will not be available more.

  Problem is that this situation can be avoided if the owner of the laptop has created the installation disc of recovery following the instructions described in the user s manuals document. I presume you didn't create this disc.

  Now, there is only one option to get the original on your machine settings: you need to order the original disc of recovery for your laptop model and you can do it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Or you can remove all the important data of your machine and sell with actual configuration.

• Change Win7 64-bit to 32-bit on the Satellite Pro C660-16N

  Hello.

  >... Satellite Pro C660-16N - Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium pre-installed...

  Nobody knows what the best route is change Win7 64 bit for Win7 32 bit. This model has a 32-bit install on HARD drive recovery option?

  Or he will have to do a clean install of Win7 32 bit DVD.

  Thank you very much.

  I guess that this laptop is available with 64-bit only (specification) and there is only one way to install the version OS 32-bit, you must install it using original Microsoft Win7 32 bit installation disc.
  Please note: for the activation of the operating system, you can use the product key from the sticker. You must purchase a new license for your own installation.

  By the way: also check if this laptop model is supported for 32-bit version. You can do this on Toshiba support and download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite Pro C660 - keyboard problems

  This issue is one for computer laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

  Some of the keys on Board (E, T, U, I, O, A, B, N, and the Enter key) fail to register.
  All keys tested so far seem to register normally.

  When you connect an external USB keyboard, all the keys work properly. When you use the integrated keyboard or external USB keyboard, however, pressed some key is selected for about 2-3 seconds so that his character register. This makes typing incredibly slow and is naturally unacceptable.

  I checked the Manager of devices looking for errors, but can't find one. The keyboard driver is classified properly installed and functional, and driver update indicates that the latest version is in already in service.

  I've also scanned for viruses using Spybot and Malware bytes and also with laptops own antivirus software pre-installed. All the analyses of the entire system refer a none found the message of threat.

  I read that the keyboards on these machines can sometimes be problematic, which could respond only to edge, some function keys. The fact that all the external USB keyboard keys work seems to confirm this. However, the fact that the keyboard both onboard and external is affected by the same slow pressure might also suggest a bios problem - but that this laptop computer is several years old and working perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  I visited the Toshiba site and based on this laptop with the part number: PSC0ME-02100SEN, I have concluded (rightly or wrongly) that the correct bios download version is 1, 70 - WIN, only when I read the following installation instructions http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm bios
  I became quite concerned, like installing the bios update seems far from simple.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to download and install the bios right through an update automated versus manual download and installation step by step, which, if not carried out as planned, could make the laptop completely unusable.

  Has anyone reading this post experienced similar problems with this make and model laptop and was able to return successfully to the good operating condition. If so, how?

  All constructive advice would be welcome.

  > When you connect an external USB keyboard, all keys work correctly.

  This means that the keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard is defective.
  To resolve this problem of keyboard, internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

  > However, the fact that the keyboard on board as external is affected by the same keypress slow could also suggest a bios problem - but this laptop computer is several years old and works perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  Hmm I n t think so
  The keyboard delay can be bound to parameters.
  You can check this in the control panel-> keyboard

• Satellite Pro C660 bricked by update of the BIOS that failed

  My sister asked me to update his laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16N; The part number PSC0ME-01S00SEN) of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) of Windows 8 (64-bit).
  So I did.

  Then I went UK from Toshiba Web site to check if there are any drivers I had to install for Windows 8. The only one was an update of the BIOS (for BIOS v1.70). I don't know what was the previous BIOS version number.

  So I run the update application in Windows 8. Phoenix WinPhlash Technologies starts and then in the middle of the update, everything freezes.

  The trackpad would not move the cursor or anything like that. I had no choice but to disconnect the phone from the wall and remove the battery. The laptop is not under warranty.

  Of course, now it won't turn. It will beep once when I press the power button, but the system does not light. A few minutes later, it looks like one long beep and two short beeps. It then keeps repeating this sequence every two minutes "one long beep, 2 short beeps".

  I google and read the site after the blog after the post on the forum, but nothing works. Links to the software offered on these forums/blogs/Web sites in french are usually dead, so I can't try what they suggest.

  The most common solution is the Phoenix crisis recovery tool. I managed to download v1.0.0.4 which is supposed to allow me to make a bootable USB key. The version of this tool that I downloaded is supposed to be for a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. I have the correct BIOS.rom to C660 Pro Satellite (I renamed BIOS.wph and copied to the appropriate folder).

  I followed all the instructions, but it doesn't seem to work. Some sites say if it happens, I have the wrong version of phlash16.exe. Some other sites say that HP Boot Disk USB Utility should be used, but I don't know how to use it.

  What I really need, is a definitive step by step foolproof guide to know what to do, with links to the files/tools to use for this model of laptop. I will follow this blindly (which I don't really understand what makes each step, I just do it with no understanding,) so if anyone can help me with this, please write a guide like an idiot!

  If anyone can help me with this, I appreciate it. I'm really in a difficult situation - I can't really afford to pay a Toshiba ASP to fix it, and I can't afford a new laptop certainly. But I also couldn't bring myself to tell my sister, ' it's broken, deal!

  Thanks in advance.
