Satellite U400-146 - how to start recovery without the recovery disk

I need to try to do a restore system on my Satellite U400-146.
However, I don't think it came with a disc.
Does anyone know how to initiate recovery of the system on this laptop?

Hello

The recovery disk was not provided with the laptop because there is a tool called Toshiba Recovery disk Creator that allows you to create a recovery disc!
Please check if you can create a recovery disk using this tool!

If this is not possible, then you can check if the HARD drive recovery is available.
For more details, see the HOW TO:

As a last option, you can order a disk recovery from here:

    I guess you're hurting understand the definition of Client instant, there isn't a tool or application or tool GUI as a sql developer or another that you can start using. It's just client installed with the minimum characteristics

  • the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily?

    the hard drive of my computer is purchased full.i a drive.how external hard change outside the primary disk so I can download music easily.right now my external backup just my computer that isn't doing me good

    original title: external hard drives

    You don't want to change your external drive to your main drive.

    You can move your music files on the external drive - or you can move other data on the disk to make room for your music on the internal drive.

    What applications do you use to play music?

    As described in the first link below, you can move your full "My Documents" folder on the external drive.  Alternatively, you can simply move your music files.  If such an arrangement would give you a satisfactory performance, however, depends on how your external drive is connected (for example, USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, Firewire, network) and other hardware features of your computer.

    Not all of the following conditions will be applied to you, but some of the tips can be useful.

    There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a bigger internal hard drive.   You can move the data to your external drive, but if it's the data that you use frequently, slower access times may annoy you.  Therefore, I do not recommend that you move your My Documents folder in its entirety on the external drive, but you can certainly do this by following the related instructions.

    • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
    • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
    • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
    • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
    • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
    • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)
    • See also:

    " How to recover disk space on Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP computers? ."

    " Forty ways to free disk space ."

    But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

    In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files you must move it to your external drive.  If you want to move an application, you will need to uninstall and then reinstall it specifying your external drive as the installation location.  You can not simply move the files.

  • How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

    Hello

    I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

    I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

    -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

    . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

    is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

    Thank you

    Johan

    Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

    If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

    Hard drives fail for two reasons...

    1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
    2. The spindle motor breaks down.

    The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

    Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

    If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

  • Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

    Hallo,

    My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
    but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
    So I do not have these data recovery.

    So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    How can I work around that?

    Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Hello

    If you have a recovery disk and you do not want to store the folder in hard drive hard disk recovery, you can remove it.

    > I can't remove the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    Remove you it as you always do to remove all files on your system.

  • How to start Recovery on satellite C650D discs?

    We had a hard drive crash and not make recovery discs. So I changed the hard drive and ordered media Toshiba recovery disks. Today, I have 5 drives and thought I just put in the DVD and let the start-up of the pc to the top. No boot at all. I know that the dvd works as I have tried other discs (XP and Linux).

    When the boot menu appears on the screen put recovery disc 1 into the optical disc drive.
    Choose the CD/DVD device and press ENTER.

  • Satellite U400 - cannot find HARD drive recovery option

    I'm doing a full recovery from the computer by using the HARD drive recovery procedure, but the problem that I can not find the entrance (to fix your computer) when I press F8 after you restart the computer.

    My laptop is: Toshiba Satellite U400-144
    Model: PSU40E - 03P00WAR

    Kindly advice what to do.

    Hello

    Normally, you can start the drive HARD recovery function if you press the F8 key to go into the advanced boot menu. After that, select Repair my computer and in the next window, you can choose the option of Toshiba HARD drive recovery.

    By the way: which OS you have installed right now? HARD drive recovery is possible on a preinstalled OS to Toshiba!

    Hello

    the problem for the subject [Satellite U400 - 138 Volume - software problem wheel | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=148001] I found a stupid bug in the software Toshiba Satellite U400-138 special keys. There is no way to fight them!

    In the Toshiba Satellite U400-138 model I have 6 special buttons: drive, CDDVD, and "Play/Pause", "stop", 'rev back', 'rev forw. Using of the * Toshiba Assist * I have control over TWO of them - there is a list of TWO in the bottom of the * settings button * program - I can choose between the drive and CDDVD. In addition, this program do... nothing! I tested if I can open Notepad with this CDDVD button, but I couldn't. The program closes, and even after restarting the touch CDDVD always opens Windows Media Player. * And four other buttons are not active at all! * How can I join a program? Which program is the other 4 button use? They seems interesting, especially with LED lighting for * drive *, but in my opinion * there is no way to use them *!

    Are they useless?

    Any suggestions?

    Concerning

    Jacek.

    They are certainly not useless. Do you really believe that Toshiba will offer unnecessary buttons? ;)

    Have you tested the feature with the factory settings? It works properly with the Toshiba recovery image? I have the same buttons on my Satellite and everything works perfectly. I use Winamp too. No problem at all. So I wonder what you do with your laptop.

    In your ad, I can not even find information what operating system you are using.

  • Satellite U400-124: is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD

    I have a U400-124 I want to do a system restore.
    I created the Toshiba Recovery DVD but I don't have it with me (I'm in Italy and it is in the United Kingdom).

    I have three left:

    1 Vista (c :))
    2 WinRE (d :))
    3 data (e :))

    Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?

    Also, what exactly are leaving them? I'm not wrong!
    1 Vista (c) - for the operating system
    2 WinRE (d) - is a hidden partition and it is necessary for the backup files in Vista
    3. data (E :) - contains the record of recovery

    Sorry for my lack of knowledge! Thanks for all your help in advance!

    > Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?
    This is possible only if the second partition and HARD disk recovery file has not changed

    Start the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure by pressing the F8 key.
    A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then it should open a new window with an option called Toshiba recovery.
    Choose that and usually drive HARD recovery must begin.

    Good bye

  • Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

    Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

    I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

    However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

    However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

    It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

    Thank you very much

    KaiBosh

    > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

    In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
    A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
    After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

    To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
    OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.

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

    Hello

    I have a Satellite U400 (a few years), and I never created the recovery DVDs.
    Now I want to do, but for some reason, when I run creator of Toshiba Recovery disk, nothing happens...
    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.

    It is: does this Toshiba recovery disc creator market or not? If you can not star this tool has nothing to do with the recovery files.
    You will find this file - C:\Program Toshiba Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator\TRORDCLauncher.exe?

    I can't find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.

    I could load Ubuntu top then to start the memory stick as well?

    Your help will be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I think that it s not able to boot from a USB key on this laptop.
    The best way is to use a CD. There, you can start on this notebook and all other laptops.
    In the Internet there are many versions of CD of Ubuntu and other Linux systems.

    And as said Feliks, it s not able to boot from an SD card because it is not in the BIOS.
