TE2100: How to use the recovery CD without losing partition

Hello

I have a laptop Toshiba TE2100, divided into three partitions: a partition of Windows XP (sda1), a Linux swap partition and a Kubuntu partition. I would like to use the Toshiba recovery CD for the installation of Windows (which doesn't work), but it doesn't seem to be an option on the CD to install in a single partition and not to reformat the entire disk (I really don't want reinstall my Linux).

I did some research, and a lot of Toshiba restore CD seem to have an 'Expert' Mode that allows an image to be installed on a partition of some, but I don't seem to have that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
-Kelan

Hello

so you should have an 'expert mode' option, I wonder this can´t find you. Another solution would be to transfer the image directly with "ghost" on the partition, but it means you start with ghost and then unzip the 'ghost' - image on the partition/HARD disk.

Please give feedback so that we can chat about it...

Welcome them

  • Can I use the recovery CD without losing all my data?

    When I turn on my laptop satellite I get a message saying that the Windows system file is missing or damaged. The standard fix seems to be to repair using the Windows CD of Installation which of course I did not. I've also seen suggestions that sometimes chkdsk will fix the problem, but I can't run no more.

    The insert on the product recovery disc warns that all created files since I bought the laptop will be deleted. However, when I load the utility, I get two options. The first is to reinstall XP on my entire hard drive, and he told me that if I do that, I'll lose all my files. The second option is to install XP on a separate partition on my hard drive. He said nothing to lose all my data. Am I right in thinking that this second option will be to install XP, say, E: and I will then be able to run chkdsk on C:, or at least access C: and back up all my data?

    My deep gratitude for all the advice!

    Hello

    Sounds like you have an old Win XP Recovery disk

    Of general use of the Toshiba Recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and therefore existing partitions will be deleted too I m not quite sure on the second option, you mentioned, maybe you would be able to choose a partition during the recovery process and would be able to install the operating system only on this partition without formatting the HARD drive but I m not 100% sure because it seems to be a former recovery procedure

    I would recommend another solution. You want to access the HARD drive to back up data. Right? Why you n start t Notepad using a Livecd such as Knoppix. In this case nothing would be installed on the HARD drive and the data on the HARD drive would not be affected so you can access important data and can move a HDD connected USB or flash memory stick

    After that, you can run the recovery procedure and might install Win XP on C.

  • How to use the crop tool without losing pixels?

    5616 x 3774 / res 72, is what CS5 says my Canon 5 d 2 large jpeg is off camera.

    Can I use the harvest too to make a picture of 20 "x 24" and keep all or most of these pixels? "

    Leave the area blank resolution?

    The lab I send the file to print, said they want 300 res files (just to complicate the thing a little more)

    Thank you!

    To tell the truth I do not use the crop tool. I use the selection Rectangle, crop image tool and the size of the image.  If you use the crop tool and fill a field of resolution in the crop tool crop tool makes all three operations including the harvest to the resolution that you have entered the resampling. Adobe also gave the crop tool implemented in CS6 that a lot in my arms. Don't mind at all.

    IMO if you use harvest its best tool to fill the field of the resolution. In this way the harvest will not resample.  You can enter height 24 20 width or height width 6 5 in fact the same proportions as it is 12:10

    After you do the crop you can use the size of the Image. In the dialog box uncheck resample set the width for printing on 24. You'll see Photoshop set a height 20 and set the resolution to a certain value. If the fall of DPI value below what you want check resample together in the desired resolution and interpolation method to use and then click OK.

  • How to use the recovery CD?

    Hello

    Ive lost the instructions to tell me how to use the recovery CD. I forgot, I need to press to access the disks when I reboot!

    Can anyone help please?
    St. Clare

    Hi clear, before using the recovery CD make you that all important data has been saved to the floppy or USB key because the procedure will erase the entire hard drive. The method for booting from a cΘdΘrom may vary according to the model number of your laptop, but it's something like hold the 'B' button for the Toshiba Startup logo. If this fails you can try to change the boot sequence or use the Toshiba from Windows or the BIOS configuration tool (ESC then F1 when prompted from a cold start) make CD-ROM the first device startup in the list.

  • I'm not clear how to use the recovery CD

    I added all the space using my HDD is it comes about 12 GB, I have 27.9 GB of disk space, but my drive has only 1.80 left disk space. I made clear to solve this problem. Basket is empty, I ran disk cleanup.

    A computer expert suggested that Windows might have become confused and cannot recognize what place I save, it might be because I ran a program called Cyberscrub often. His solution is to reload Windows XP home. My laptop came with recovery discs, everything else is already loaded. I have so much I don't want to lose on my laptop. If I use the recovery discs, I will lose everything on my computer, am I better off buying Windows XP home and re-load, in which case I will not lose my job?

    Also I am not clear how to use the recovery discs, I can't find instructions on what you are doing.
    The only person who could help me went to travel and not reachable.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    It of a very simple to recover the laptop.
    Just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

    I put t know what version recovery CD you have, but the older one provides the standard and expert mode. In expert mode, you can choose you partition where the OS is to be installed.
    So in this case only the selected partition will be formatted!

    But have you checked the size of the HARD disk in disk management?
    Simply click on the my icon my computer and choose manage.

    Of course, you could remove the internal HARD disk and it could connect to the external USB HDD controller. Then, connect the drive HARD to the second PC and you record data on another HARD drive.

    Hello:

    You normally start the PC, and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, you press the F11 key to start the Recovery Manager program.

    Then follow the instructions to restore your PC to its state of software "out of the box.

    In so doing you re-partition and reformat the hard drive.

    So make sure that you copy the files that you want to keep on a portable hard drive before proceeding.

    It is also for if you have created a storage partition. You must copy all the files from that too.

    All partitions are erased and redone.

  • How to use reveal all this without losing the work of culture?

    My workflow is to editing and cropping of images. I need the flexibility to perform any order.

    When I use the crop tool, I continue to delete the cropped Pixels unchecked. When I edit the images I want to edit the complete picture, not cropped image.

    If I use reveal all to make alterations on the full image after cropping, I lose my job of cropping. Is there a solution?

    How to use reveal all this without losing the work of culture?

    How to take a bath without getting wet?

    Enter drollery side you could use a path of access to store the current size before calling "Reveal everything", then later on the path as a selection of load, switch to the crop tool and hit.

    Or convert to smart object before you crop, then do the editing in the SO (it could be a potentially significant increase in file size, however).

  • How to use the recovery on Satellite A215-S7422 DVDs

    Hello

    I have A215-S7422
    First of all, I like the Vista Home Premium, until I had a few problems with my operating system.

    I'm downgrading my laptop for Windows XP SP2 home edition.
    I formatted all the HARD drive, to make a few partitions.
    A few weeks later I tried to Vista using the DVD recovery system which is included in the package when I bought the camera.
    Unfortunately, the DVD without being detected in the first over.

    Do you have any idea how to use this recovery DVD?
    It is any special program to activate the recovery DVDs?

    Please, help me.

    May I ask why create you double assignments?
    You already asked this here:

    Secondly, as already described in different threads, you have to boot from the recovery DVD and this will begin the new installation image.

  • Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

    I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

    With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

    My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

    Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
    I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

    If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

    I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

    Thanks in advance,
    Yossi Beck

    Hey Yossi

    I think you have misunderstood something!

    You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

    Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

    So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
    This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

    Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

    but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
    That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

  • Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

    Hello world

    I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
    This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

    If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
    Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    And does that mean exactly? You get an error message if you use recovery disks or if you are not able to boot from them?

    Use the recovery disks is very simple: enter the first DVD in your CD/DVD drive and restart your laptop. Depending on your model of laptop, press the F12 key to enter the BIOS boot menu, and then select the CD/DVD drive. Now, the computer starts from the CD/DVD drive with recovery disk. Then follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will re back reinstalled to factory settings (out of box).

  • Satellite A45-S250: how to use the recovery CD if the DVD player does not work

    Hi all
    First of all, apologize for my English, I'm french :)

    So my problem is that I would like to re - install everything on an A45-S250 using the recovery CD.
    But the main problem is that the internal DVD player no longer exists.

    I try plugging in an external DVD drive, but the laptop won't start on it.

    I have seen that it can start with a disk, lan or SD card drive. But with opportunities of theses, how power reinstall everything include in the recovery CD?

    I may have a usb floppy drive, so I'll be able to boot from a bootable disk. but then how to start the process of recovery CD?
    I will prefer to use the recovery as a home standart WinXP CD, because I know that the OEM series will not work in an original version of Windows XP...

    Thanks for your help!

    Kubs

    Hello Kubs

    I see only one solution: you have to somehow use external DVD player and make it visible to your laptop. I try didn t, but I guess you need to start your laptop using WXP startdisc and load the MS-DOS driver for external device.
    If you will have success to access external hard drive I guess that you will be able to start the recovery procedure.
