  Hello!

  First of all, you should check the user manual. There you can find all the details on how to recover a Toshiba laptop.

  In any case, if your laptop came without recovery disk you can create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That's why you need one or two DVDs and then you have factory on a DVD.
  If you created the recovery disk, you can boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. Windows will be reinstalled, and you get back to factory settings.

  But you can also recovery a Toshiba laptop without recovery disk. So go to the F8 advanced boot menu and choose fix my computer. Now, you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, you can search a bit in the forum. You will find a sufficient number of threads on the recovery procedure.

• Win7 recovery without recovery disks

  Being a little crazy I ignored the guests to "make the backup disks.

  Ive deleted the original installation of windows 7 for windows 8, but after finding problems with some games of win8 I wish I could put win7 on it

  My hard drive still has the recovery partition, but by pressing f11 at the bios screen does nothing

  is there anyway to recover my pc to the original without recovery disks configuration?

  Hello:

  If you are not willing or able to purchase recovery discs, you can reinstall windows 7 using this method, as long as you can read your 25-character windows product key 7:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• How to recover the Satellite A100 without recovery disk

  Hi all

  I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 settings * without * a restore CD via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  It is really unfortunate, I know it can be done as I did before butI for the life of me forgotten what was this key sequence I can't find the article I stumbled initially on!

  I've scoured the web looking for this key sequence and all the proposed solutions, I fell on do not seem to work.

  Unsuccessful attempts so far:
  -Press and hold 0 power
  -various suggest 'F' keys: F1, F8, F10
  -now the delete key

  Note: I guess it may be worth mentioning that pressing F8 actually take me on-screen "start options advanced windows" but I don't have any recovery options.

  Yeh Yes, I'd * extremely * grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here because it makes me crazy... the fact that I've done this before, it that much worse!

  > I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 to the factory without the recovery CD settings via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  As I know the A100 series has not been fitted with the recovery of HARD drive partition!
  And so I doubt that any combination of keys will start the partition recovery!

  So you only chance to recover the laptop is to take the recovery disk, then boot from it.
  You can also try to install the disk Microsoft Windows operating system and then could install the drivers of Toshiba on the pilot site of Toshiba!

• How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

  Please, I desperately need help.

  My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
  It's on the screen threre.

  He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

  How am I suppose to install windows vista?
  Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

  Anyone with an idea. Please

  > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  It was a big mistake buddy
  The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
  But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

  Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

  You need a recovery disk, and you can order it here:

• Recover a laptop without recovery disk

  Hi, need your suggestions. Three weeks back, there was a power surge in our place and my laptop crashed that day here. When I restart the machine, it could not find the hard drive. I don't have a disc of recovery with me. My warranty is over in 2011.

  (1) I asked my friend to create a machine of Windows Vista recovery disk and give it to me in a USB port for I can start from there. My machine is a Windows Vista 64-bit. Will this work?

  (2) I want to buy a new hard drive. I looked at my hard drive and it says SATA. I thought go to bestbuy and getting a SATA drive (1 TB). My old one was 250 GB. I can do this or do you have any suggestions?

  (3) my old hard drive has a lot of data and photos. I plugged in an external USB hard drive, but it does not work. I don't know if my hard drive is dead or if he did not get enough power. Any suggestions on what I can try?

  Thank you. Appreciate your suggestions.

• Satellite L550D-13V - how to recover without recovery disks?

  Hello

  I had a big problem. Win 7 Home Premium 64 BIT crashed on my satellite L550D-13V.

  I tried to fix it, but it does not work. So I decided to recover via HARD disk utility.
  Everything seems to be okay, but ultimately the tool said that errors have occurred. I tried to get it back again, but the process aborted with blue screen "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" this time.

  After reboot system told me that no bootmgr is available. I tried to start using the recovery disk, but it also seems to be defective because the system cannot boot from the disks.

  And there is my problem. I cannot start / retrieve now. Volume D seems to be OK - the HARD disk utility files are still available, but I can't create a new recovery disks and it is not possible to start in disk utility.

  You have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance and best regards
  Danny

  Hello

  The story is strange
  I m wondering why you are not able to boot from the recovery disc?
  Have you used the recovery disk created in the past or have you tried this drive for the first time?

  However, with regard to the error message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
  I googled for that and it sounds like it could be linked to the fault memory.
  Perhaps one of the failures modules.

  Of course, this is just a personal opinion

  If a HARD drive folder is available on your HARD drive, then there is a small chance of getting the recovery of HARD drive to work. Here's an interesting thread:

  Hello

  Here's another solution, that you could use.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Images of Windows 7.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Can I use my Mini 200 for anything without recovery disk?

  Hello

  I ve had 200-4200 Mini. A few months back I had a hard drive crash and another was sent by the warranty. I m abroad, so he was sent to my friend, who sent me to the Nicaragua. The drive arrived, BUT pick it up USB does not stick. (they came separately on the post, so he posted them me separately also)... 7 weeks waiting for the post... I think that it will not happen before leaving the country in 6 days and continue the journey.

  -> I m not a computer person, so questions may be a little weird

  Is it possible to do SOMETHING with my Mini (except put this message and send it back to europe)? I guess there is no chance to perform a recovery by the USB connection to another computer and to address online? ....

  Thank you

  When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

  I can assume that you are referring to the computer Netbook HP Mini 200-4200ea-p/n B8H26EA , but this is only a guess, that there are about 73 models Mini 200-4200 available.

  It may be possible to download a Windows 7 ISO from Digital River, a Microsoft hosting partner and put a boot image on a USB key. Please see this HP forum thread titled "How to install Windows 7 without the disc" for instructions on the download and create a bootable Windows 7 support. The only problem I see is there doesn't seem to be a 'Windows Starter' image available. A side note... you can install any version you want, on a trial basis... you would have a full 30 days to use Windows until you enter a valid key. This will put you on for the moment.

• I want to know how to correct an error of SW version ID. Or someone who knows the remote computers access to me and help me. I can use limited however. I bought hp without recovery disks.

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Please give a better description of the problem. This includes citing the exact text of the error message (without paraphrase) and tell us when get you and what you are doing. A brief history of the machine and the problem will also help to give us a clear idea of your situation.

  You will not get a person of this venue to connect to your computer remotely, nor should allow you someone you do not know to do this. You can call Microsoft support and pay for it, but you would be better off to take the machine to a local computer Tech, a qualified person who is the computer will have a much better chance to diagnose and fix things than someone who works remotely. If you follow this path, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

  Also, please explain what you are trying to do with the HP recovery discs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• HP Pavilion Dv6 7078 CA recovery without recovery disk

  Hello!! I have a Hp Pavilion Dv6 - 7078ca, and after only 6 months of use, the hard drive just died.

  because I live in the Brazil and brought the computer home, I could not use the mandate, given that the mandate is for canada only.

  So I changed my own HARD drive for one on exactly the same model he had, but to my surprise, when I used the recovery media that I had made, the DVD have been corrupted, so I coudnt get it by using the recovery media.

  I tried to install windows 7 Home premium (the one provided with the laptop), but there's a hardware incompatibility, so I couldn't install the drivers of it.

  and the worst problem is: I can't control even other media recovery, because even if I ask them for some friends to the Canada, so this friend comes for me, HP Canada Web site does not accept international credit cards.

  so, my question is, anyone know if I am able to restore my computer without this recovery media? If so, how can I do?

  Thank you!!

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion dv6 - 7078 Entertainment Notebook computer ca. According to the specification, this model comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit installed at the factory. This is HP software and driver downloads page for your computer.
