• Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

  My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

  Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

  Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

  All advice welcome please.

  Hi mate,

  I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

  In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

  What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

  I hope I could help a bit. :)

• Re: Satellite A300-1MO - can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?

  I have an A300-1 MB.
  Can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?
  Or is it as a specific for my A300-1 MB?

  I'm like a total noob...
  Someone pls help...!

  No, you cannot use any recovery disk, you must use the recovery disc designed for this model of laptop.
  The point is that recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package that contains the OS and Toshiba drivers
  If you want to use another recovery disc then the image would be installed with no compatible drivers and this could lead to other problems

• Satellite A300-211 - can I use creator of recovery disk to create other discs?

  My laptop is Satellite A300-211

  My question is can I use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn CDs and DVDs next to the Windows image?

  Hi mate,

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator can create the Toshiba Recovery disk and that s all!

  If you want to burn the other CD or DVD, you can use other software such as Nero or CD Burner XP. The last one is a free and really nice. It has many functions and is very low. Check it!

• Satellite P500 - loop of reboot after using the Toshiba Recovery disk

  Hello

  I have a problem recovery SATELLITE P500. I did the recovery disks. It starts ok on the recovery disk and format the hard drive and copy the disks to the hard drive. Then, he begins installing windows and restarts.

  He then goes to a loop
  (1) marketing and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.
  (2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Second installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interrupt or shut down the computer!
  (3) Windows logo
  (4) close...
  (5) restarts and goes to 1)

  It would be great if someone could help me with this.

  Thank you very much
  Softari

  Hello

  I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

  You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

  So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)

• Cannot reformat using the Toshiba Recovery disk

  Hello
  I'm not sure whether or not my question was published by third parties. Please let me know if someone had posted this.
  Here's my problem.

  I put the recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive. Then I restart my laptop and press F12 and select boot from the CD-ROM. Then I come to a black screen where it says 'Windows 98...'

  After some time, the failure message appear.

  My laptop was with Windows XP and I don't know why the word 'Windows 98' appears. After failing, I try to go to the window and double-click the CD-ROM Setup and he says not can read any of the files on CD. The CD is used to reformat the laptop before.

  Is it the corrupt CD?

  Hey mate,

  First of all, it would be interesting to know what laptop you have. Maybe it has been bundled with Windows 98 recovery disk I put t know.

  Theoretically, it could be a problem with the CD. Try another disc and see what happens.

• No boot disk found during the installation of windows 7 in the new hard drive by using the original recovery disk

  Hello

  My laptop is HP - Pavilion dv6 2165-tx. My old hard drive damaged and so bought a new one.

  New hard drive works fine. (He went from main hard drive test)

  Now, to install the operating system, when I insert the recovery disc in my CD, I get the error message-"no boot device press a key after the insterting startup disk."

  How can I go about this now?

  Thank you for your contributions.

  I've installed windows 7 using my recovery disk. Problem is that my objective optical drive was not clean, which resulted in the error.

• My conputer stops suddenly when I was using the vista recovery disk, I can't use this disk to start my computer?

  I tried using the recovery disk and tried to use a USB key to try to get it started but my computer still jumps her.

  Hello

  "It is not always shut-down.

  It's not enough information to that is, if it stops at other times other than when you use the recovery disk.

  "tried to use a USB key to try to get it started."

  Have you changed the Boot order to make the DVD drive 1st in the Boot order if you tried to use the DVD player in your computer?

  And to boot from USB devices, you must have USB Boot active in order to boot on your motherboard and also 1st in the boot order

  Read one of these methods:

  http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/change-boot-order-XP-Vista/

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  In a large number of computers, by pressing F12 at startup is a way to change the boot order.

  And in these Forums, when a poster has issues with the manufacturer recovery media, the recommendation is to contact the manufacturer for the aid that the manufacturer provides this software.

  See you soon.

• How to reinstall Vista (using the HP recovery disk) to my laptop HP that has a new hard drive

  The hard drive failed on my HP laptop.  I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible.  Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?

  I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties.  To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).
  I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?

  Hello

  posters have reported problems with the use of a replacement hard drive not HP, etc.

  as you say you know the answer to your problem buy a new hard drive from HP and then reinstall using their recovery disks

  If you have problems with the HP recovery process, contact the manufacturer

  It's their recovery process not microsofts

• Cannot complete the reinstallation of Vista on Compaq laptop using the Compaq recovery disks. Tried to restore disk oem and new close to identical road. Errors: 0xc00000e9 and 0xc0000189 respectively

  With no unusual occurrence that accompanies it, our laptop was able to start and would not initialize anything beyond a screen B & W style BACK and gave the first error (0xc0000e9) on this screen. After several unsuccessful reboots insert us the Compaq recovery disks and crossed the recovery (only full optional with such discs.) At the end of the transfer of recovery (from DVD on computer), the computer tried to restart and reported the same error message. We have seen anything past the transfer of files and B & W on the oem disk. I think the oem HD is bad. Web-surfing suggested the error was associated with a hardware failure and the DVD drive seems to work very well I bought a new HD almost identical to replace the oem version with. Both are Seagate Momentus 160 GB at 5400 RPM drives.

  I re-inserted the recovery with the new installed hard drive disks and it loaded and seemed basically completely install Windows (computer is restored running several times and showed the Windows desktop with sequential programs etc. facilities.)

  To restart the final success, I received an error message in the sense of "windows could not install: Please restart the installation process" and the 0xc000189 error code. I tried again and the result was identical, including the error message. In the process the emblazoned shortcut labeled sunflower administrator with "locked" below briefly appears before the above error appears above him. Navigation on the Web seems to suggest I've hit some kind of security problem that appears when an oem auto-installer is used. He was never a password of any kind on the laptop of our family, if there is one, it should be of Compaq.

  It's an authentic (not stolen etc) oem new install of Windows (the laptop is only 18 months old) and I CD code on the computer but not the case in the installation me I asked for it. I don't know what you looking for installation.

  I'm very confused and any help would be appreciated. Compaq is saying it's a matter of Windows of course.

  Thank you

  Problem with the recovery process, contact the manufacturer of the computer.

• Pavilion G6-2213 nr: cannot start using HP system recovery disks

  Hi all

  I have a laptop of Pavilion G6 2213 nr and I had problems and ran diagnostics from the system on it and he failed the hard drive of the short dst test, so I ordered HP recovery discs and a new hard drive on ebay. I have put in the new drive hard, pop in the first recovery disc in the drive, and when I try to boot from the cdrom drive, it says 'press any key to boot from the CD or DVD... ». After pressing a button, it goes on the page 'selected boot image could not authenticate. So I searched online and found in this case, I should turn on legacy mode and turn off secureboot. So I make this change in the bios and go out with gain and he enter a four digit code + enter to make the change in legacy mode. After you have entered the code, the computer restarts and wonder at new "press any key to boot from the CD or DVD...". ». I press a key, and then it takes me to a page in black/white with only a blinking cursor and never does anything else. With the new drive hard in, I ran the memory and the hard drive a broad diagnosis and pass the two tests.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? What is the DVD player? Or sata controller (not that I really know what that means, I just read in a post somewhere in a case similar to what is probably the DVD drive or a SATA controller).

  Any help is appreciated!

  I'll try that. Thank you.

  You are quite welcome.

  You will need to have a hard drive replacement, which is at least 160 GB of capacity!

  A 120 GB hard drive (or SSD) will not work with the Recovery Manager.

  The usb recovery media is the image recovery factory in about an hour and it is a sustainable product. If there is a scratch on the side of the label of a recovery disk, the entire set of recovery disks becomes unusable.

  A factory image recovery with recovery disks can take two hours or longer time to complete.

• Satellite P105-S6197: how to use the system recovery disk

  Greetings,

  I have a P105-S6197 and I followed the instructions on the recovery disk,

  1. Insert the disk or disk #1 in the drive.
  2. turn on your computer while holding down the button 'C' (release key 'C' when the display shows "Toshiba")

  but these instructions do not work the computer starts just to the top normally and do never runs the disk.

  Is there another way to get the disc to run so that I can completely reformat my computer to the way it was when it was first purchased.

  Thanks, Edana

  I can provide the same information as codes for:

  There are different options to allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  One is the C key (you have to press several times) immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

  The second possibility could be the F12 key.
  It would start on the screen menu and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Last but not least, you can change the boot order in the BIOS.
  The reader of CD/DVD (ODD) in the first place and the gaming laptop should boot from the inserted CD, bootable automatically.

• Using HP system recovery disks

  I have replaced a failed hard drive on a HP Pavilion h8 - 1380t. I also ordered a set of HP recovery disks, which is a disk 4 labeled value, "System Recovery" as well as a 5th disk of "additional recovery." Only 1 of the 4 disc set is bootable. When I boot from this drive, an application called "Recovery Manager" starts with the three main categories and options. All options are grayed out and the only thing I can do is click on the 'x' and restart. No idea what I'm supposed to do here?

  Thanks for getting back to me!

  I suggest to go forward and to call to get a second set sent to you. During this time, make sure that nothing obstructs your cd tray to eject. I saw recoveries cling to 99%, because he could not eject the disc when it was over (I know that's not your specific problem).

  A second set of disks should solve the problem. The representative reported what happened with the first series.

  I hope this helps. I'm sorry that I could not give a more favourable response. It seems that it is just a bad game. Let me know what is the result, if you have a chance

• How can I recover all my files that I lost in an accident? I had to use my system recovery disk and install drivers for my computer again. I lost all my files. Is there something I can do?

  Help!  How can I recover all my files that I lost?  I was answering an e-mail message when I heard a couple of clicks then my computer off.

  I thought that my computer was destroyed.  Nothing I tried would bring it to the top, so I decided to use the system recovery disc that

  came with my computer.  I've also downloaded all the drivers for the application.  My computer is back on, but I lost everything.

  It's like putting into service with a new computer.  I had a lot of important information in the files that I lost.  I've tried everything I know to do

  without success.  Is it still possible to recover these lost files?  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but when you did the recovery of the system you have disabled your hard drive of everything, including your files.

  You now have a new computer.

  You can try this program (it's free) to see if he 'can' find and recover your files. no guarantee:
