• Re: Tecra M10 - 10Z - cannot find HARD drive recovery

  After almost three years of use, I decided to re - install the operating system, because the M10 became very slow.
  Now, there's no disc provided (OS is W7 pro 32-bit)... so I did the procedure of F8 startup... but the list of the checkout (after you have entered "repaor PC) ends with"(execute with prompt): no HARD drive recovery! "

  The operating system is absolutely original. The only thing I did was to add a partition to store all my data.
  Can someone help me understand the situation? I'm the only user if my account is 'administrator' t.
  In addition, I do not see the special partition in 'my computer' (never seen) I only have C and E (E is the one I created)...
  Thank you much for the help!

  I don t have this Tecra and cannot say for sure what the problem is here, but it turns out that Toshiba offers an OS preinstalled with recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery recovery image. On some machines, this recovery image is saved on partition small and invisible.
  Everything will be OK until the user changes the structure of the partitions or delete the recorded recovery image.

  To avoid this Toshiba recommends creating DVDs which can be used if the user has the situation that your recovery. It would be much better when you have this drive now. I put t know why you didn't create this DVD.

  In any case, I assume that the recovery image cannot be found because of the structure of the changed partitions or maybe you did anything in the past that have deleted the recovery image.

  Now, all you can do is to install OS own version or one order new recovery image. It can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Satellite L750 - cannot find HARD drive

  I lost my HARD drive and I can't go into what anyone with the exception of F2 and F12.

  Help, please

  Hello

  This means that the HARD drive is not recognized in the BIOS more or how to understand that the HARD drive is lost?

  If the HARD drive is not more recognized need replace it and reinstall the operating system. Satellite L750 is fairly new laptop model, so I think that it s valid warranty and if you contact an authorized service provider, you can get a new HARD drive for free. Simply contact the guy and ask for help, they will replace the HARD drive for you.

  Do you know where you can find the closest to ASP?

• Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

  Hello, this my phone trees.
  I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
  Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
  PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
  QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
  Thanks in advance.

  More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

  Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
  You've misunderstood with username and account.

  Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
  Now, you have two options:
  -to order the new recovery DVDs or
  d ' use the clean install of the OS.

  What do you think of this?
  To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

  I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

  If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

• Satellite L670 - the system HARD drive recovery does not start

  Hello together,

  I have a problem with my laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
  Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "disk HARD recovery.

  When I hold the button '0' on start nothing happens. The beginning of doesn´t of system recovery.

  Can you help fix the problem.

  Thank you and best regards,
  Dinder

  Hello

  This does not work because you have installed Win 7 64 bit as you said here:
  > I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
  But have you tried also pressing F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?
  Try this

  Otherwise, drive HARD recovery does not work because the boot manager has been changed or damaged as a result of the new install of Win 7 and this is why you cannot load HARD drive recovery.
  That is why it s always recommended to create a recovery disc before changing anything on the HARD drive.

  What to tell buddy you need recovery disks. I guess that you have a European model for laptop

  You can order the recovery discs here:

• Cannot retrieve Satellite L300 using HARD drive recovery option

  Hello

  I'm trying to restore to factory settings but have no luck.

  I tried pressing F8 when the toshiba logo comes back, it goes to the screen of boot in advance and I select computer repair and it boots to windows. I don't get the recovery options.
  I also tried pressing zero when switching on the laptop just rings home.

  What im I doing wrong?

  It is a vista running L300-149

  As I see all you do is right.
  Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times and you will enter the Advanced startup options

  The first option should be repair your computer and after two or three steps, you should see The System Recovery Options , and last option there Toshiba recovery.

  Have you used this recovery options in the past or you are trying to use it for the first time?

• Satellite Pro L300 - installation of Linux RHES4 cannot find HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it comes with preinstalled Vista, I loaded the XP due to the fact that I was going to see if I could load linux Redhat Enterprise 4 and dualboot both operating systems at the same time but discovered this "DOUBLE BOOT" means that you can have 2 operating systems but can only bott one or the other...

  Anyway, my problem is that I want to just install Redhat Enterprise 4 linux on my laptop, but when it comes to partition the hard drive I get an error message saying "cannot find the hard drive to create file systems" then click OK and restart.

  Any ideas people?

  Chris.

  Hello

  I m not a Linux expert, but I think that the reason is missing SATA drivers.
  Normally, on each notebook with SATA HDD, you need SATA drivers to recognize the HARD drive before installing OS.
  If you install Windows XP or Vista, you need storage for this Manager. The drivers can be loaded with an external floppy drive.
  But I put t know how it works on Linux

  An alternative you can change in the mode of AHCI Compatible HARD disk BIOS. Then, you don't need drivers and your disk should be recognized correctly.

  Otherwise, I recommend this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=14

  Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step 1: Prepare the BIOS
  -Go to section Support/Drivers on the Toshiba site and look for your model of Toshiba
  -If your phone has a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download the BIOS XP and run it in Windows.
  -If you cannot start Windows, you can update the BIOS after installing XP.

  Step 2: Enable SATA Compatibility Mode in the BIOS
  -If installing XP cannot detect SATA drive, enable SATA Compatibility Mode in BIOS if this option is available and install XP.

  Step 3: Install XP using a floppy with the SATA drivers
  -If SATA compatibility mode is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

  (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
  If a single SATA/AHCI F6 driver is unavailable, download and extract the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for XP in a temporary folder.
  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: C:\temp\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\F6flpy\ICH8M_32bit
  Choose the right folder. For example: ICH8M_32bit for a Chipset of Intel ICH8 during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

  (2) copy these files (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk.
  For example: A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

  (3) connect a Toshiba USB floppy drive to the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

  (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that your floppy with the drivers is inserted into the floppy USB drive.

  (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

  (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue.
  For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

  (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation.
  Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.

• Satellite U400 - cannot find ATI Control Panel & issue FN

  I can always find the sofware ATI graphic control panel where I can change the settings.
  I remember I had this software installed, but I think I uninstalled and now I don't know how to get it back, because I want to have more color in my laptop.
  Someone knows how to change?

  And when I doubleclick on Intel Graphic Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile: I can't find the DEMO.
  I only find 3D and Calendar Option settings, but not VIDEO-settings :(
  Everyone please?

  Also when I click on F6 or used before F9 appears diffrient manny option on the screen of the laptop it's settings, software, choice of but now when I click nothing happends don't. Button control SOFTWARE or what I may need to do this also?

  Thanks for all the help.

  Good bye

  Hi mate

  I think you mixed with something.
  To be honest I m a bit confused.

  Initially, you asked for the ATI graphics and then you said that you have Intel Graphic Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile installed on your laptop.

  Please my friend, don t mix different graphics cards!
  Your laptop seems to be equipped with the Intel graphics card and therefore you cannot use the ATI graphics!

  I have a U400 too and I've got the Intel GPU too.
  Intel Graphic Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, I can change the settings of gamma, brightness and contrast. That's all what you can change!

  Regarding your key issue FN;
  I think that you need to reinstall the driver or a tool.
  See the page of European driver of Toshiba for a compatible software.
  I put t know what OS you use, but if you use XP, you must reinstall the common modules. If Vista is preinstalled, reinstall the package of value added

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A300 - removed HARD drive recovery partition, but have backup ghost

  Hello

  I deleted the partition HDDrecovery by chance but I have all the files in the saved partition.

  Is it possible to recreate the partition?
  Or create a files recovery disk? -
  I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?

  Concerning
  Shaun
  Satellite Pro A300

  > Is it possible to recreate the partition?
  I know it s not possible to create it again without use of the Toshiba Recovery disk AFAIK this partitions contains also some brands that are necessary at the start of this partition.

  > Or create a files recovery disk? -
  I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?
  Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool usually needs the HARD drive partition to create the recovery disk. But I doubt it will be functions if you've already deleted this partition.
  But nevertheless, you can see it.
  Create the partition (Vista disk management), copy these files on this partition and check if the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool would find it.

  If not, I don t think you could create this partition of HARD drive

  In this case, you will need to purchase a Toshiba Recovery disk
