System without disk recovery

Hello

I received a computer without recovery disks.  I looked into Acronis True Image and I don't know if that's what I need.  I was wondering if I put all my files on DVD and if my system crashes, load them onto my Windows Partition main DVD, will be my system start and continue to run?

The system is XP Home SP 3

Thank you

Simply copy files on a DVD will do the job.  You need a program that can back up and restore a system, such as Acronis® True Image Home 2010 or Rebit save me image. Boulder computer Maven

  • Satellite A300 - how to recover the operating system without a recovery disk?

    First of all, sorry for my very bad English.

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300, PC 9 months ago. I had problems with a virus and result is that despite clean-up and disinfection, the computer is still infected and I refused access to the hard drives and regedit.

    I thought restoring the operating system factory preinstaled (hopefully, this is the solution and not the formatting) and Barrie told me to check out http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    I did it, but the PC it's imposible because there is no files. I don't have a rescue CD (if newbee).

    What can I do?

    Hello

    Usually the A300 (European series) has been equipped with HARD drive recovery option which would be you allows to recover the laptop using the files on the HARD drive. But if this is not possible while something went wrong with the maybe HDD it s due to the infection by the virus

    In any case if you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive you need the recovery disc.
    You can order it as suggested by resident on the other hand, you can use the MS Windows Vista disk and can download driver Toshiba page.

  • Win 7 restore without disk recovery on Satellite L350-277

    Hi all

    I'm trying to fix Satellite L350-277 of my sister-in-law following a HARD drive failing. Before the crash, he was running Win7 Home Premium (32 bit) that was preinstalled on the HARD drive. I managed to run Belarc on it before it went completely, but could not create the restore disc in time.

    Disk failure HARD seems to be due to bad sectors and once failed, could not get past startup repair. While they were inspecting HARD drive (in the USB enclosure), both C: and D: (backup partition) appeared to be intact, so guessed was discussed with MBR. I have used Clonezilla to clone new HARD drive and I'm now work - failure of HARD drive it's always like it was incase I need to clone again.

    With the HARD drive clone, I first tried to use bootrec.exe but some successful how to 'break' C: and could not see anything in the score.

    BTW I am currently using a copy of DVD retail Win 7 to provide the functions of "restore". However the Toshiba restore capabilities do not appear in the list of options. So I decided then to install everything on C: retail copy to see if I could access toshiba restore functions using data in D:, that doesn't seem to work either.

    Then I stumbled on this thread that gave me the hope to be able to start the Toshiba recory tool:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=44382

    I was hoping that Vista and Win7 preinstalls would be very similar, but the HARD drive has a recovery partition (D:\ HDDRecovery) and seems to fall in step 13. There are two files boot.wim in this partition: 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\sources\boot.wim' and 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\hddprep\sources\boot.wim '. Imaging either of these files does not cause the file according to the instructions of step 13. Here again, the guide is based around the Vista installation...

    So what I try to do is to retrieve the data from the old HARD drive with the damaged boot record in order to restore the Win 7 OS pre-installed Toshiba. I seem to have the data (old HDD still retains files) do not seem to have enough knowledge now do!

    Can someone help me?

    On the one hand I can understand your wish to install the recovery image, but on the other hand, for me personally, this is nothing but waste your time for nothing. In General, recovery image is designed may not be copied or manipulated so this guy was very lucky.

    Problem is that this recovery disk is not created after the purchase of the laptop.

    Maybe it sounds stupid to you, but I recommend you restore disk original order for this machine.
    You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    It costs 30 Euro only. With this money, you will get original recovery disk that includes the operating system active, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and a few additional and useful applications.

    Using this disk, you will be able to have perfectly working machine in just 2 hours.

    One more thing: the use of the disc is unlimited and you can use it 1000 times and each time you have enabled and configured perfectly BONE.

    If your goal is to reinstall the operating system there are ways to achieve

    We need to tap the F11 key immediately after presswing the laptop power button. Who will call the Recovery Manager unless you have deleted the recovery partition or have done something to the original disk partition scheme. In the Recovery Manager simply choose to recover your PC for the original operating system

  • Factory recovery finished, now several devices in system without driver

    Hello! I have a desktop HP Pavilion p7 - 1236 s with Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. I got the factory settings last night using recovery discs HP bought for my specific model. I have not installed/uninstalled all programs, drivers, etc., and now, Device Manager lists several devices of system without a driver.  The list includes: 2nd generation Intel Core processor to DRAM Controller-0100; direct memory access controller; high precision event timer. Intel 6 series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller - 1 22; 5 instances of resources of the mother; digital data processor; programmable interrupt controller; 2 instances of card system; and the system clock. Before you recover my system last night, I had uninstalled the Intel RST 11.0.0.1032 program version. I have a single 1 terabyte hard drive (no RAID) and use the computer for my home-based business, and I had read elsewhere that it is not necessary for such a situation. Following this recovery, I see that the pilot in the path: C:\SWSETUP\DRV\Storage\Intel\RST\11.0.0.1032; However, the program is not in the programs of the devices & or Device Manager. -What is originally is current driver problems? I'd be VERY happy any idea that you could provide. Thank you!

  • 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 Pro L550 - 17U PSLW9E - question of the HARD Win 7 64 bit disk recovery

    Hello

    Basically, when I got the laptop it had Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed.
    I created the backup disks, as asked it the first got scratched and gets stuck on the installation, I can install the 32-bit version (the CD it came with) and I tried to create a new 32-bit system recovery disk but it creates just a 32 bit recovery disc (which I already had the appropriate drive).

    Just to see if there is a way to restore the 64-bit system without having to buy a new version of windows?

    Satellite Pro L550-17U
    Part number: PSLW9E-01500MEN
    Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit authentic (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD)

    Hello

    You reinstalled the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk which contained the Win 7 32-bit operating system. The recovery of 32 bit Win7 has formatted the whole HARD disk and has deleted all partitions (recovery partition HARD drive containing too many Win 7 64 bit OS)! and replaced with Win 7 32 bit.
    This means that Win 7 64 bit is no longer available on the HARD disk.

    In my opinion, there is nothing to do you will need to order new Win 7 64 bit recovery disc.

    Hello:

    I don't see that HP has them.

    It would link to the recovery media to order on the Vista 32 bit laptop driver page.

    But can call HP and ask first. Maybe you can order them by phone and they would cost less ordering them to surgeons in the computer.

    If HP does no more, you can still get this provider on the link below.

  • Pavilion laptop DV4 disk recovery installation issue what would it be?

    I formatted my HARD drive using a bootable floppy to CD (Dariks Boot and Nuke) - who has written on the C and possibly partition D (HP Recovery)... Everything went well with that.

    HP DV4-1543sb

    Original operating system was Win 7

    Laptop 2 years

    1. I then inserted the factory purchased HP disk recovery and booted from it (2 discs and 1 extra drive in the game)
    2. Installation went well with disc 1 that it then prompted me to two disc I did. Subsequently requested the extra disk I inserted.
    3. Once it is installed, it restarted the PC automatically and then start configuring Windows 7 up or at least begun to load (Win 7 was also my original OS).
    4. Process is completed and it still rebooted itself.
    5. Laptop computer loaded a little Windows (an icon appeared) and then suddenly a message saying error has occurred could not finish loading Windows)- or something of this nature
    6. Tried to reinstall and got the same scenario.
    7. Once more I formatted the HARD drive with a full format which took 2 hours.
    8. All that above was repeated with the same results.

    Any suggestions?

    The BIOS may be corrupt and if yes, how can I install a fresh BIOS with no available Windows application.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I suggest to try the following workaround.

    If you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit is the exact retail version, you would need.

    If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO on a CD blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when requested and when the installation is completeuse the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

  • Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
    The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
    I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

    And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

    Hello Bambi

    Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
    As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

    You can start your computer in Mode safe?
