Tecra M2 - recovery question

I bought an old laptop Toshiba Tecra M2, without recovery CD.

As far as I understand (I'm a beginner), there is no way to make recovery CD or DVD on this laptop with «HARD drive recovery»

Is this good?
(I saw that on Toshiba 'support newsletter
Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility Document ID: 98081179)

Is there any other way to do it? What will happen when the hard drive must be interrupted?

In fact, the only way should be to buy an old hard drive of the laptop even.
Will it work? (maybe the serial number is located in and stop the change?)

Can you help me?

Thank you

To be honest I n don't know what your question.
Do you need a recovery disk?

If you need a recovery disc, then you will need to buy the Toshiba ASP in your country. If all goes well, it will be possible to get this drive because a very few cases, it s not possible to order a recovery disc, if the laptop series is too old.

Toshiba article explains how to burn an image that was stored on the HARD drive
This laptop has not been delivered with the recovery disk and it was therefore necessary to create this disk using the procedure described in the article.

    Salvation;
    I have a tecra m3 760 and I want to know if it is possible to restore my laptop with the recovery cd without having to install additional software like norton internet security, windvd etc.
    I want to install only the drivers and windows. I know that I can uninstall the software after installation, but I'd rather try to install with this software.

    Another question, do you know where can find a manual recovery CD?

    Thanks in advance, controlaltdel

    Hello

    On the Toshiba Recovery CD, you will find an image file. This file contains all of the drivers and software and it of not possible to install this image without the stuff of Toshiba.
    As you say after the recovery process, you can delete all not important applications.
    Well, the other option is to install a new original Microsoft Windows, and then install the drivers of Toshiba. The drivers, you will find on the CD of tools & utilities delivered.
    It is important to install drivers in the correct order.
    Common modules, graphics driver, utility Chipset, etc.

    You can follow the order on the tools & utility CD.

  • Tecra M9 Recovery Disc - what do I do?

    My 9 Tecra slows down so much that I plan to return to the factory settings. It came with a disc of "product recovery".
    As well as to say "Product recovery", the label says "Microsoft WIndows XP Professional."

    The disc will only reinstall WIndows XP? Or he will restore the HARD drive completely to factory settings?
    It will have the Toshiba utilities that were on the laptop from the beginning?

    I want to go back to exactly how it was when he came out of the box.

    Also, I have only a single drive. Begins the statement on the envelope, "insert the first disc...". "Then to power on while pressing F12 and follow the instructions on the screen.
    Is there a single disk or have I lost another?

    (Nervously back to check that I have everything backed up, downloads of software installation and registration codes.)

    Hello

    You got your laptop with the factory settings. This means that your laptop has been pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and additional software.

    When you use supplied recovery DVDs you will have everything once again. The operating system will be completely configured and do not install some drivers or other stuff. You will have factory settings as when you bought it. Please note that the recovery procedure will remove all HARD drive and all saved data will be gone. Then before that please backup all your important data.

    > I want to return to exactly how it was when he came out of the box.
    Just use recovery DVDs and you'll get exactly the same thing again.

    I think that you need a DVD only.

    If you have any other questions please let us know.

    I tried to do a cover of product on a satellite pro A60

    I put in discs 1 and 2 according to the instructions and everything seems to work ok.
    Then tells me to remove the recovery media and restart the computer using ctrl alt del

    It restarts and goes through toshiba screen and on the screen of windows xp... then a blue screen that says please wait while windows prepares to start... then on windows xp with a saying of hourglass professional screen, please wait. Nothing else happens.

    It does nothing else, we left it for 3 hours today and it didn't go past this screen.

    Everyone knows it or can give me some tips on how to make the laptop still works?

    I installed windows and the Toshiba Recovery many times and I didn't noticed this problem on any of my books.
    I remember that once my Windows installation operating system has failed. I put t know why
    But I just formatted my HARD disk, erase all partitions and started the installation again! The procedure is completed successfully and portable started in the Win XP operating system.

    You must understand you problem could be linked to the software only or the operation of the equipment (HARD drive?)

    One question; have you used the recovery CD Toshiba compatible? I read repeatedly on similar problems, and finally the wrong recovery CD was the reason for start-up/installation problems.

    Make sure that sue you the good CD and then I would recommend repeat the installation of the OS.

  • Tecra A9 - Recovery Disc Creator does not work

    I tried to make the recovery disc for my Tecra A9.
    I managed to make the two recovery system (DVD-R) discs, but when I try to make the Applications disc I get an errormessage right after that the program wants me to verify that I put a blank disc in my DVD burner.

    _Errormessage: _

    An unexpected error caused.
    Exit this application and start it again.

    (Error code: 0E01C7-15-00000000)

    Hello

    Maybe you should try different media
    These error messages appear especially if a disc is not completely compatible

    I guess you used the same discs previously in order to create the right recovery disk, I know it's strange, but I think you should try another disc.

  • Tecra M3: recovery error 70%

    You just bought a tecra m3 that 5 months by Ebay, has perfectly worked until I decided to perform a system restore. As usual, I went through the normal stages by inserting the cd and C button, then back to 1 and 1. The problem on when the system restore process are about 70 percent and it comes out with an error message. Tried it many times but still give the same results.

    Finally frustrated I installed an original copy of windows xp professional on the computer and restart it as usual. Everything was fine and work until I downloaded the software from the graphics driver from the toshiba Web site and installed. While it was installing, it appeared a message saying that file called nv4_mini.sy. So now everything works, but I couldn't have the graphics card to perform general graphics being very lag.

    The laptop model, I said in passing is Tecra M3 with the PTM30E-OR5019EN model number.

    Thanks in advance for any response... soon a

    Hello

    Eventually the restoration error message to 70% because the recovery CD has a malfunction. Perhaps a scratch on the surface of the CD.
    You suggest however that you have installed the original Windows operating system.
    Usually after the initial installation of Windows OS, you must install the drivers of Toshiba in the right order.
    I don't know if you have installed the Toshiba drivers all or only the graphics driver, but it is important that you will install the chipset utility first.
    Then common modules if they are available.

    Hello Dario

    Well, first of all, you must check the BIOS settings. As far as I know the configuration of the device must be set to the OS installer.
    Then it s advisable to reinstall the operating system. In this case, you must use the CD recovery or the original version of Microsoft Windows. All the necessary drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba site

  • HP 300-1020: recovery questions

    Hi all

    HP Touchsmart 300-1020 all-in-one

    OS is Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently bought the Touchsmart 300-1020 and many issues.  I intend to do a factory reset to solve most if not all of the questions, but when I put in place the Recovery Manager, it does not give me the choice to reset to factory conditions without the help of recovery disks.

    Is it because the 300-1020 was not manufactured with a recovery partition recovery without disks using wildly or could the partition have been corrupted somehow?

    The next step was to make a record of recovery, but but the creation of HP recovery disks does not see the recovery partition.  To quote the message, "the recovery partition is not found" Image icon factory next to the HP (C indicates 12.7 GB free of 12.8 GB.)  There is no files contained in FACTORY_IMAGE (D in addition, at the opening of the creation of recovery disks, I read that it could be a set of recovery disks created.)

    If the first owner created these disks, which would be why there is no files in the original Image (D?)

    Next, I decided to do the best I could to fix the problems manually, but they proved to be many.  There seems to be issues with "Touchsmart Homepage" as well.   Photos see toward the top in the home page but music and videos in different files are not visible.  It seems that the best move is to buy the necessary dics and get things to normal as far as I can get them again.

    Which leads to the third question and I hope I was descriptive enough for someone to answer: a set of recovery disks will bring this computer to a State factory reviewing the questions I mentioned with particular reference to the absence of the recovery partition?

    Thanks for all the tips.  I think that I have now found the right place for what will be displayed.

    Ambico

    All new HP computers come with a recovery partition.  It is possible that the original owner somehow altered the recovery partition or delete its content.

    The only way to bring the computer back to life would be to order the HP recovery discs.

  • recovery questions

    Hello

    TouchSmart 300-1020

    Windows 7 64 bit

    I have another question about the issue of recovery.  I'm set to order the disc to set recovery, but I wonder if, at the age of the computer (5 years), it might be better just to leave well enough alone.  Your advice would be appreciated.  As I mentioned earlier, the recovery partition was gone.  I wouldn't mind being able to put it to a State factory but I don't want to cause problems of hardware by running the recovery discs.  The question:

    Given the age of the computer, is there a chance that the execution of defined recovery will be, or could cause hardware problems?

    The computer works fine.  Not as fast as I would like.  It was loaded with adware when I got it and I think that I managed to clean everything, although some may still remain.  The scans, I ran indicate not but there still no malware or viruses...

    The idea that the unknown can be pretty well resolved by a factory reset push in this direction, but I wonder if the recovery CD could make jogging the material under stress.

    Thanks for all the tips.

    Ambico

    Recovery disc restore factory does not constraint to cancel it on hardware.  In fact, you should see improved performance after reinstalling as he will be rid of all the waste accumulated over time.  Hardware problems can occur at any time for a variety of reasons, for example heat or they wear out everything.  It may happen today, tomorrow or next year, who knows, be they new or old computers.  Nothing is absolute, your system and if all goes well it will look after itself.  Software does not have hardware problems.

  • HP Pavilion g7 recovery questions

    Hello

    How do I know that the recovery programs were not damaged, while I won't have problems when the recovery is complete?

    I have updated BIOS with HP Support Manager a month ago, the recovery also moved the original driver for BIOS?

    I can make the recovery of a battery in the laptop or I have to remove and do as the tank adapter?

    How long it takes for this process to be done (approx.)?

    Can I keep recovery (D and HP_TOOLS (E after recovery?))

    This recovery will really put me on the language selection screen, after it's done and instal lall, the pilots and the original software?

    Do I need Internet while doing a recovery?

    How do I know that the recovery programs were not damaged, while I won't have problems when the recovery is complete? Use recovery disk series or usb recovery media that you should have right there.

    I have updated BIOS with HP Support Manager a month ago, the recovery also moved the original driver for BIOS? A recovery will have no effect on the BIOS.

    I can make the recovery of a battery in the laptop or I have to remove and do as the tank adapter? No recoveries with the AC adapter.

    How long it takes for this process to be done (approx.)? Depends on the media you use. If you use a usb recovery media is fast enough. Maybe an hour. If you use recovery DVD, so maybe it will take two hours or more. If you perform a recovery from Windows, you may have one or two hours. 

    Can I keep recovery (D and HP_TOOLS (E after recovery?)) It would be a wise thing to do. Consider the fact that neither score is actually a lot of space on your hard drive.

    This recovery will really put me on the language selection screen, after it's done and instal lall, the pilots and the original software? the recovery will be in the default language for portable computer was shipped with. It will install the drivers, but not necessarily all applications. and then it also depends on the type of recovery you have chosen.

    Do I need Internet while doing a recovery? No.

    Please help me.

  • Windows recovery question

    Hello

    My HP dv6 laptop acted strangely lately... no opening/installation/uninstallation programs esp. HP, not looking for drivers for various things etc.

    I was advised to use the recovery partition to reinstall my windows. However, I have a few questions about it. First, is - this will reformat and clear my C drive?

    Secondly and most importantly, my PC originally supplied with Windows Vista, which I later upgraded to Windows 7 (with free upgrade kit). Using the recovery partition reinstall Windows Vista or Windows 7?

    Thanks for your help!

    If you have a system image you created third-party software, I wouldn't bother go back to Vista, all this is long just to create a recovery disc game the worst thing that will happen, you will need to spend $ 20.00 and order a set of HP, but this is an unlikely scenario.

    As mentioned, I recommend always erase the entire disc during installation of W7, which includes the Vista recovery partition.

    In the tutorial he gives instructions on how you can use your W7 disk editing to delete all partitions and create the space not allocated.

    W7 will automatically format the disk later if you don't even have to do.

    Once is installed to connect to the internet (there is an option for you to do during the installation) and then go to Windows Update in Control Panel and updates. In many cases, Windows will detect some drivers for you. Keep control of the updates until it finds no more (this can be a long process).

    After the update is complete will support you page and install you chip set and then you driver video driver, in that order, if Windows has already done.

    Before you begin, please give me you full model number dv6-xxxx xx. I want to see what's available for your drivers for W7.

    I recommend also using Microsoft security Essentials (Windows updates will find it). I used to have a pretty expensive version of Eset and I've always had a virus, so I even bother pay for anti-virus software.

    W7 has a nice feature that allows to create a system image and a system repair disc (your install of W7 disc can also be used this repair disc)

    Once W7 installed and working, we need to create the image of your DVD system. If you get a nasty virus, boot from your "system repair disc" and reinstall W7 (at the time where your created DVD) of your disc image system

    When you add new programs and software, you can create new sets and throw the 'old', how ever I recommend that you keep the very first made series that they are essentially as your partition recovery Vista only with W7 on them.

    Always use Sony DVD + R.

    You will find this new feature in 'Control Panel' under 'backup and restore. "

    Also, if your computer has a hard disk secondary W7 will automatically create the image of the system on this drive, if you allow it to, but I always set mine on DVD as well.

    One last thing, try not to use your kit extension with your drivers on them, I believe that HP can have sent you this drive, HP tends to be wrong. Once, I have your complete model number, I can help you with this news.

    Just to underline once again, do not delete the Vista partition recovery after W7 install, follow the instructions in the tutorial to remove before installing W7. This is important.
