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

Laura

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.

  • 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 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.

  • Satellite Pro C660 - BSOD for WLANs by FN + F8

    Hello!

    (Sorry for my bad English, but this is not my first language)

    I have a problem with my (Windows 7-64 bit) Satellite pro c660.

    When I want to activate or DΘsactiver wifi (fn + F8).
    I see the wifi turns on, but after 2 seconds, I got a BSOD...

    So I'm looking for drivers for my card (Realtek RTL8188CE) network and it does not work...
    I search a lot and I found this forum. I find a lot of problem of "my fn +; '. does not work"and respond you"try to install VAP. I have download this PPV to my computer and right after having extracted the files, I have this message: "Please restart your computer."
    I reboot and it still does not work... So I try to uninstall PPVS but I can't found on the Panel.

    (I now see the fn + F9 (of / activate the touchpad) does not work.)

    I have TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility version 1.62.0.28C.

    Hello

    Your message is very confusing
    First of all, I don t think that missing WLan driver would cause a BSOD.

    From my point of view you have a lot of problems with the system I m not quite sure if the resettlement of VAP would solve all your problems and I doubt that this would be solce your BSOD problem.

    So I advise to use the recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. If the BSOD would still appear after that the laptop was recovered, then I guess as a hardware problem (probably faulty module WLan) causing this BSOD

  • Re: Magenta/Purple mount screen Satellite Pro C660-2JR

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop Satellite Pro C660-2JR and a few hours after getting it I noticed he has a purple cast/tint on any gray tones and is especially noticeable if a B & W image is seen because it has tones of purple, white and black with grey wire no real!

    Its very visible on the default settings (which are mostly dressed and contrasting even after I turned the backlight down) and I adjusted the brightness, contrast and gamma via graphics driver as by test cards, but despite that I get this darn will not disappear.

    Is the only way to sort of get rid of him for the contrast of the Green layer but affecting the other colors as well so it's not really solve the problem and the cast usually ends either be clear or green purple with no real neutral gray.

    This distribution is visible in all lighting and all the corners of the screen.

    I send it back for a replacement or open a repair warranty on the laptop, is there anything anyone can suggest I do?

    It is not easy to discuss this issue. We will see what it looks like.

    In my opinion, you should contact your local dealer, compare it with other laptops of the same series and ask for replacement.

  • Re: No Internet on the Satellite Pro C660

    Someone at - he of the drivers from the internet that can run internet on Toshiba Satellite Pro C660? Laptop is preinstalled with Win7 64 bit.

    I put t know what the card is inside the laptop. He formerly Atheros, but now his Realtek, was great work until Windows don't update now no link it just says: limited access, even if there are 5 full bars showing, there is a yellow question mark on it.

    When I run the troubleshooting it indicates a possible driver problem, but if I check the driver it says working properly. I have been using the system restore and disable windows update, but daily updates are coming back and I have no internet again.

    Now the system restore point that I had created that worked went among the dining choices.
    My head is paralyzed.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    D

    Windows updates are listed as important and optional. Under optional drivers are sometimes written drivers for hardware components such as display or WLAN. Please don t install these updates. Install important updates only, and only use the drivers from Toshiba.

    Please send us the name of the full model (C660-xxx) and we can check what cards are on the inside.
    Try it please check the system again restore and turn on show restore points more. I hope that your restore point will be there. Do it, check the functionality and don t install any driver offered by Microsoft Windows update.

    Thank you

    Have you tried to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option?

    By the way: what do you mean with a stopped working?
    This means that some page cannot be opened, or you cannot start IE at all?
    Is there an error message?

    How to understand this?

  • Satellite Pro C660-1NR crashes intermittently, hard reset required

    Windows 7 64 bit Satellite Pro C660-portable 1NR

    Hello

    One of computer Laptop my users freezes at random times throughout the day. At first, I thought it was battery attached, as the first two occurrences that happened when using disconnected, but it has since then done when connected too. On average, it happens at least once a day.

    He will not resume later, the only way to get past that is holding down the power button then restarting.

    The problem started when downloading a number of updates from Windows about 6 weeks ago. Previously it has never frozen, not even once.

    I'll wait to die again (maybe today, maybe tomorrow!) and focus on the event log around the time he died.

    Don't you think that it is hardware or software related?

    I updated the drivers of the laptop, chipset etc, so everything is as up-to-date as I can get it.

    Nothing wrong with this laptop other than the gel, performs very well when it works.

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Kind regards

    So why you n t try to fix the system to the point before the updates were installed? I think it would be the first step, try to solve this problem.

    > Do you think that it is hardware or software related?
    If the settings in the system at the point of early time would not help, I suppose that a recovery system would be the next step to find out the reason for this problem
    After the related question of the unit should work correctly if it could not well be material recovery

  • Satellite Pro c660 does not connect to another wireless after format

    Hey all,.

    I have a Satellite Pro c660 and bought a copy of windows 64 bit with him - the laptop come with many software from toshiba on what I wanted really, I therefore installed windows 64 bit (fitness in the process).

    After the Installation I had some problems connecting to my wireless home (he was missing drivers, but have now install) but finally got it works.

    After having taken it round my friends last night, I could not connect to its wireless - the password has been good and I could see the network, but he just kept constantly defect - its network was on it, because his cell phone he was performing. -The only difference between its network and the spirit (that I can see), it's that she was using the TKIP encryption to connect, while I was using AES (my network card is Atheros). -Even when I tried to configure a network profile and have it automatically connect (using the same information she used, including the TKIP encryption) - it was always not.

    The ideas people? More missing drivers?

    PS - I really don't want all that toshiba nanny software on the laptop.

    Thanks in advance!

    > Any ideas people? More missing drivers?

    If you can see the Wlan network then it means that the WiFi adapter driver is correctly installed and the problem is between the router configuration problems WiFi and wireless network card.

    Are you abele to connect to other networks wireless at home?

    Please disable encryption settings in the Wlan router and try to connect to the Wlan that is unprotected.
    But note; This must be done only for testing purposes!

    You should also check if the MAC address filtering is disabled in the settings of the router.
