The system restore on Satellite C660

I'm trying to restore my laptop (Satellite C660) using the restore disc, that I created when I got the computer. I put the disc and chose to start from the DVD, and it seemed to start working now, I have a black screen with a mouse pointer.

How long does take to do the restore?

>.. .and chose to boot from the DVD and it seemed to start working now, I have a black screen with a mouse pointer.
Sorry, but you need to explain what is happening exactly.
Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. When the boot menu appears on the screen, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

What happen exactly when you do this?

  • Problems of the system restore on Satellite L500

    Recovery disc Toshiba product to retrieve the system on the new hard drive in Toshiba L500 PSLS3A - 04M 002.

    During recovery, Windows has complained of "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" - file is LPCFilter.sys.

    Also when you set the drivers, Windows made the same complaint about the Realtek High Definition Audio driver and a filter driver Virtual WiFi (from Microsoft Corp!).

    After the restoration, if I start Windows normally, the Windows Startup Repair automatically starts with a title "your computer was unable to start. Startup Repair takes a while and then comes up with a message "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically.

    If I press F8 at startup and choose the option "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement", Windows starts without any problem.

    I thought that it might help to an update of Windows, but when I click on the "Check For Updates" button I get a message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. "When I look in the Services, I see that the service is running.

    I don't want to press F8 whenever I start and don't think it's a good idea to do it anyway and would like to be able to update Windows.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    You created this disc on your own or you are using the original disk from toshiba?

  • I clicked "forget this site", I can cancel it by running the "System Restore" function to retrieve my story?

    I clicked "forget this site" and I am looking for a way to undo it. I have heard say there is no way to retrieve the history of a particular site, once it has been deleted, but surely, it leaves some kind of record in the system? I read an article that suggested running the "System Restore" feature which gives me the option to "restore my computer to an earlier time" before that some changes have been made. Would this work?

    Hello, windows system restore will not restore the file that contains the history of firefox unfortunately (it's called places.sqlite). you would need a backup of your firefox profile folder to retrieve such data.

    Please also update firefox - the version that you are currently using is outdated and affected by many security vulnerabilities.

  • Pavilion 2000: Using the system restore

    I used the system restore in the past and I know it took a few hours to complete with good results, as it eliminated the problem. Last week, I used the restoration of the system, the screen turned blue and the restoration began however this continued for more than 3 days!  I was unable to use my laptop for so long. I saw a blue screen with an icon swirling in the Center. Miraculously, the day 4, he came back to life, but immediately began to update the apps I had checked to only not to do. It took an extra day. Actually, now it's back to normal. I am now afraid to use the restoration of the system again. What I've done wrong?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

    Could you provide your full computer model - information can be seen from the service tag sticker > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Topics-Read-Only/Advice-for-asking-the-quot-Very-Best-Question-quot/td-p/83280 ?

    Could you confirm your OS - is this Windows 8/8.1 now?

    I see your previous thread in the attempt to upgrade to W10...

    I'm not sure about what you were wrong (if anything), but

    System Restore is a feature of Windows that usually takes minutes (30 minutes max) in full, not hours, not days. It restores the Windows registry, files/settings of the system to a previous state and is generally quick.

    Do you mean the system recovery or system reset/refresh?

    These are different things. These restore original Windows or format partitions on HARD drive - it can take an hour or 2-3 max but not days.

    If these (especially system restore) lasts days, there is indeed something wrong with the operating system.

    Looking forward to your confirmations.

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

  • Printer continues to stop & requires the system restore?

    We noticed a delay problem where printer stop printing.  What happens with XP and Windows7, but they show different symptoms:

    With XP, the printer also show online.  However, to get anything to print.  It affects all users, is not corrected by updated printer spooler restarts, restart, change USB port, cable changes or printer resets.  No errors in the logs.

    With Windows7, printers go offline or completely disappear and stop the spooler.  You can restart the spooler and printers reappear for a short period, but they disappear in a few seconds.  As noted above, nothing seems to correct the problem.  It's just generic elements in newspapers, but nothing specific.

    The only thing that solves the problem is a system restore?  We can link to problems individuals patch.

    Does anyone else know this?

    The only thing that helps for XP and Win 7 is the system restore?  Looks like corrupted printer drivers (even though it's a bit strange that you experience on the two operating systems).

    Simply download and install a fresh printer driver is not enough.  You have to clean the old one.

    For XP, see His Article.  The critical step is step 4.

    For Windows 7, replace step 4 with the following text:
    Restart the print spooler
    Open devices and printers
    Select a printer (click only)
    Click the print server properties in the toolbar at the top of the window
    Click the tab drivers
    Remove the suspect drivers

    If you can not do what the above because the print spooler is not running, after return and specify which version of Windows 7 you have.

  • Is the system restore wiped XP Recovery disk space?

    I definitely OE deleted messages, and then wipe the hard drive.  I need to do a restore of the system because of an annoying popup Windows start happened after deleting some files after you uninstall an HP printer.  A system restore will cancel the changes on the hard disk, allowing thus the recovery of these messages permanently deleted using Recuva or another program recovery?  That I don't want to happen as I am to get rid of the computer (I bought a new).

    If you you debarrassez of your PC anyway, why not simply wipe the hard drive with a program of format-based security (Google can help)? Even if the system restore does not return emails, there is still a lot of information on this computer, so that you can not someone else access using a different type of deleted file recovery program. Never made a purchase online? Access your bank account? May make changes to your social security account or 401k? It's all there somewhere.

    If this a brand like HP or Dell PC, you should have a recovery or disk partition which will allow you to restore the first day.  Which will be enough to thwart the average snooper a little better than average.
    If it's not, and you have the OS disk, you can wipe it off yourself and do a clean install.

    Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

    Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
    Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
    Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
    You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

    If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

    It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
