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?

Thanks for the tips.
Clare
(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.

  • Creating recovery discs - what kind of discs to use

    When you go to the creation of recovery media it is said to use DVD-R discs. Does this mean that you can not use CD - R discs to create recovery media?

  • Cannot restore my Tecra A10 from recovery disc

    Hello

    I'm having a problem restoring my C disk from a disk image. The Toshiba HARD drive recovery utility seems to have disappeared from my computer.
    When I followed the instructions for restoring (be it by pressing 0, or F8 during startup to access the HARD drive recovery utility) I finally get a message saying

    "The creation of means of recovery is impossibe! File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

    (I get a similar message if I try to open the Toshiba recovery disc creator in the start menu)

    Because this does not work, I tried using recovery discs that I have made previously using the same utility. I insert the disk and start the computer (according to instructions), but nothing happens and it starts Windows normally. How can I use these discs?

    My laptop is a Tecra A10 16 d Windows vista professional.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    As much as I know saved on HARD drive recovery image can't disappear. I guess you did a few exchanges of structure of HARD drive and now recorded image is not found by the wizard of HARD drive recovery or Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Both of these tools know where to look for it, but if they do not find specific markers you will get this message.

    Now the only option for you is the use of recovery disks.
    Do you use this disk for the first time now?
    When you check the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer you will see the content?

    Then try to boot using the created disc. Start Notepad, and then press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the disc in the ODD, choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

    What happens when you do this?

  • Do I have the recovery disc OK for Tecra A6?

    Hello.

    I have a Tecra A6 (PTA60E) computer laptop and he suffered some sort of virus problem and I couldn't recover. So, I tried to use the disks of recovery (with some success), but when I reboot Xp crashes. I found that the windows\config files are not installed. I then copied the \windows\repair files, but it is not a SYSTEM file - only a system.bak. By renaming this system and move the files to windows\config XP crahses yet.

    Now, I noticed that the discs have "Tecra S1" printed on them. I have the hard drives? they are the original disks, so I'm a bit confused.

    Thank you

    Peter

    Hello Peter

    If you are sure that you have a recovery disc for Tecra S1, it is logical that you try using recovery bad discs. Recovery disk contains image of recovery and this recovery image is only intended for certain model of laptop.

    Purchased used Tecra or it was all new laptop?

  • Re: Tecra M9 - using the recovery disc

    Hello, can someone please help.

    I don't have a model Tecra M9. PTM90E-05700WEN serial No. Y76875H professional XP operating system.

    The problem I have is as follows - I would like to reset the machine back to factory settings, I have the product recovery disc that came with it as well as the Microsoft Office Basic 2007 license key.

    Instructions on the cover of the album simply say "insert the first disc in the drive and turn off the computer. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disc drive in the menu. Follow the who make their appearance on the screen. »

    Problem # 1 - I only have one disc, I can certainly say that I have lost. instructions refer to "first record suggesting there is more than one. The disc I have is clearly marked "product recovery". There are some numbers on the disc namely - GMR400776EN0 and also SD124219 of CD.
    The disc is also clearly marked Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

    Problem # 2 - when I make the instructions above, nothing else that the system starts normally. I can assure you that I am pressing F12 before the opening of Windows.

    I don't get the option to select anything and even less the optical disk drive. I tried several times but always the same result.

    Otherwise, I've tried - using the F8 key button brings up options menu, ie SafeMode etc etc work, but nothing referring to fix the computer.

    Press and hold 0 then that until the computer starts.

    Best regards and many thanks

    Hello

    Tecra M9 is older model laptop so method with F8 or zero will not work.

    The instructions are nothing else than the General instructions and not written for your Tecra M9 only. Recovery image is not the same for all models of laptops. They are so different with some laptops, there is a disc only, but with some models, there are two disks.

    I believe you when you say you've got a disc only.
    How to start recovery disc installation there are three methods:
    -Start Notepad and enter the BIOS settings > change the boot order and put the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.
    -key c close several times to start laptop. This will force the optical disc drive to be the first boot device.
    -start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. Place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

    Please test all these methods and send feedback.

  • What is the recovery disc include - Satellite A300?

    Hello. I have a laptop Satellite A300.
    I have seen that my computer has 1 hidden partition in the first drive and another recovery file in the second disc.

    (1) what is the difference between the 2?
    (2) I accidentally deleted the file on the second drive, and now I am unable to create a recovery disc, so I need to order a new one.

    What is the disk? It only installs the operating system, or it will also include some of the software came with my laptop (Microsoft works, using the camera software and so on...)

    Thank you.

    (1) it's pretty easy. The hidden partition contains the Windows recovery environment and the file on the second partition in HARD disk recovery file, factory settings or leave a picture of her.
    The recovery environment is a feature of Vista, not a Toshiba. If you want to return factory settings, or to reinstall Windows, you need the HARD drive recovery function or the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Here is a useful link to the recovery environment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

    (2) the reason why you can t create the recovery disk is that you deleted the file. On the second partition in HARD disk recovery file is normally only for this image and this can also be used for the recovery of HARD drive feature. Therefore, you need to go into the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. But now it s too late and you can t use this feature.

    If you want the recovery disc, you can order directly into a new to Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
    The recovery disk contains the operating system and all the drivers and tools you need for the Toshiba laptop.

    I m that you have right didn't look in the manual? ;)
    Otherwise you all know what I told you.

    This should set the machine to factory settings. Finally, you can create a recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled software.

  • 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

    (Sorry for my English)

    You mean this FAQ:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletin.jsp?soID=806477

    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.

  • Tecra A8 - erasing disc Recvery would be the entire HARD disk

    Hello

    I installed Win xp on my Tecra A8 and also created two logical drives C and D.
    Win has been installed on C using the recovery cd.

    Now I want to reinstall windows and keep my d: drive.
    When I boot from the recovery CD, first screen is to select the language, and the second is where my problem is.
    It has the 'Settings' button which displays two options - to choose the number of GB to install the OS, or to install the OS on existing first # GB partition with id #.

    Second option is ine, I chose, but when I click Next, a warning window appears and says something like "Beware, any hard drive will be erased.

    Anyone know what this means?
    He let intact d: drive and manifest only the c: drive, or it will erase really any hard disk?

    Thank you.

    > Second option is ine, I chose, but when I click Next, a warning window appears and says something like "Beware, any hard drive will be erased. Anyone know what this means?

    This means that the recovery disc will format the whole HARD drive and it will be also possible to delete all partitions from the HARD disk.
    The use of the recovery disk would fix the laptop to the factory setting.

  • best2serve pile of crap recovery disc

    Hello

    Two weeks ago, I ordered a set of recovery disc for an HP Pavilion ms215uk all in a desktop pc.

    I paid £31.06 for drives that turn up. (7 days from order to receipt) - fair enough.

    However - they did not work. Disc 1 is OK, but on the insertion of disk 2, I got an error in Dutch (not English) that the system recovery discs would not work on this system.

    Great Stuff - Hp cannot even provide the correct disks.

    Good so I then sent their emails of support of shit and got a response indicating that they would send others.

    7 days later the disks turned up and guess what?

    Yes - they do not have work - same message - Dutch once again - and after inserting the disc 2 disc 5.

    It's 2 weeks - no recovery drive of work for my system - and 10 coasters.

    What the hell is happening with this crap company. No phone support (now I know why) and only contact by email - which they have not responded to and its now more than 24 hours.

    All brands on the site - even HP Hp can't help saying that I need to contact best2serve.

    Well I can't contact them because there is no way to contact them outside of the email.

    As far as I am concerned the disks are under warranty and that I should beable to call and ask why they do not work or have at least my money I can buy a copy of windows 7 and do a reinstall completely Virgin.

    2 weeks is not good enough - I'm just glad that the discs are not intended for a customers machine. Best2serve are crap - useless - and not very reliable from what I've read on this forum and the net in general.

    Oh - and discs are not manufactured or factory - basically, they are 1 x cd blank with green dye and 4 x dvd with purple dye. In other words discs burned and unprepared discs.

    And they are not scratched btw.

    So my question is what you do about best2serve or Hp?

    I have to go to the negotiation of standards?

    Or

    I have to create a website denouncing the best2web service and support - I could do a good job of it too.

    Your call.

    concerning

    peedoffbigtime

    Hi Paul,.

    As promised I have news on the situation.

    And here are my results.

    After many phone calls and e-mails to Hp and best2serve, I figured out that the Pc should be sent repair.

    That's why the recovery disks wouldn't work - pc necessary fixation. EVIL.

    The recovery discs would not work because I had installed a new hardrive.

    The recovery discs check the dmi information in bios or dmi on the "original hard drive" string that is automatically written in sector 8 hard drive at the factory.

    Replace the hard drive or the motherboard and your recovery disks do not work.

    BIOS updates can mess up too, the dmi information which was not the case with this pc.

    It's the original Bios HP 2009 - there isn't another available on Hp website.

    However for some reason any (nothing that I did at all)-

    Model number: MS215UK

    Serial number: 123456789

    Version identifier: 94WEv6PrA2

    The string Featurebyte: 333rd 2S2V and so on

    Part number: VG256AA

    The country Code: #ABU

    has all the missing since the information screen of the bios by pressing F10 to access the bios.

    It was like that for / to the plant.

    To solve this problem, I used an Hp dmi tool that is not accessible to the public, but a google search for cpc_dmi hp tool should get what you need. He made me.

    The 2010 version is the one you need.

    So, I used the Hp Dmi's tool and the cpc_dmi.exe of a bootbale disk file and published this information.

    Once I had done that and saved the settings of the chip rom all the correct information was shown on the system bios screen.

    Now armed, knowing this info has been tattooed in the rom chip system I proceeded with the recovery disk install again.

    I used the cd 'First use this disc' and then started the drive 1 0f 4

    This now gave me a good screen of Hp recovery option rather than the screen in Dutch say the recovery discs would not work on this system message.

    Disc 1 0f 4 installed perfectly and so the other 3.

    My system is now recovered and working as it did in 2009 when purchased new.

    Then

    I corrected the error of recovery disks don't work do not.

    I stuck two fingers up to the Hp support.

    I saved myself over £100 + by sending only not in Hp update bios dmi information. (FIX my donkey)

    That said it took me two days to get this working correctly through complete trial and error, but I'm a happy guy now.

    Oh - and don't will never buy Hp again. They suck.

    Thanks for the help

  • HP PAVILION ELITE E9280T D: CTO need new recovery disc

    I have a pair of old HP Pavillion E9280T desktop systems. I have recently installed a new hard disks on the two (both are identical machines, ordered that a pair of HP).  I also have a two sets of recovery disks that I made when the systems are new, saved on DVD.

    On a single system, I was able to successfully perform a full restore (return to factory settings).  On the other system, recovery stops on the 3rd disc in 68% and gives me the following error message: "Recovery Manager is unable to restore your computer by using the original image. Please contact HP support. 0xe0ef000e error code.

    I've searched the forums and found that many others have experienced this same problem.  I tried some of the proposed fixes, such as clean rags and Re-partitioning the hard drive.  None of them worked.

    For fun, I also tried to recover the system using the recovery of the other machine disks.  I discovered that I was able to do a full system recovery using these disks.  It tells me that I have probably a corrupt set of recovery disks and not a hardware problem.

    Unfortately, while it was fun to find out where the source of the problem, I can of course use the same set of recovery disc for both machines (I'm sure that Windows will blow up as soon as I connect to the internet and connect to MS servers).

    So my question is... what should I do?  I don't think that HP sells the recovery discs any longer.  But I have a copy of Win7 Pro that I paid for, trapped on the recovery discs that don't work.

    In advance, thank you for any suggestions or advice.

    OK... im going to answer my own question... I should have realized this earlier, before posting my initial question.

    I had a set of recovery disc for an HP same machine... at the beginning I don't think that I could use them... I did not know that the unique product key MS is not copied or assigned to the recovery discs... and since both systems where the same in all respects... it worked!

  • Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total Formate with recovery disc?

    Hello

    I had a Trojan horse on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted, but every time I've been connected to the Internet, it appeared again. Not connected to the Internet it doesn't give me any problems. As I couldn't get rid of him, I backed up all my data and do a fresh install from the recovery disc. As long as the button for LAN wireless is disabled, everything works fine, but just a little while, after I turned on it, I get a blue screen. When I restart my computer with WIFI turned on, it produces a blue screen before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried restoring 3 times, but it's always the same result.

    1 is it possible, that the Trojan horse destroyed things of the pre installation?
    2. I can't choose to make a formatting during the recovery process. All data are lost, but I feel that's not formate the hard drive correctly, when everything is destroyed. It crushes just stuff?
    3. is there a way to make a good formatting, then install completely new Windows?

    It is not a problem of my WLAN card, internet being no problem under Linux.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello!

    If you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be formatted so if you have any virus or Trojans on your laptop, they will be also deleted.

    But what BSOD code are you have? Are you sure that's the reason why the virus?
    You have the same problem if you connect a network cable to the laptop?
