• Cannot install SP3 as it crashes even after recovering the computer by using a recovery disk

  I recently had an accident requiring that I reboot using my restore disk that were made when I first came to this computer. Since the restart, I can't access the updates from Microsoft Updates program. No error message, tells me that I can not connect. After several attempts, I think that the problem lies in the validation of the Windows program I use. I tried manually to run the validation program and to download security patches I've saved previous accidents. I show that SP2 is underway. I have a standalone download SP3, that when I upload in the system, crashes and burns. Back to the same thing, restart using the recovery disk. I realize for XP ends next month and its time to upgrade. But I would like to have this machine in working condition to use for other tasks.

  Original title: update XP

• Re: How to get Corel WinDVD without using the recovery disk?

  The update for Corel WinDVD was rather messy and because of this some owners laptop uninstalled to try to install the new software. Now, we ended up with the only possibility of an image recovery, which, in practice, means losing the software.

  Updates for the Bluetooth and wifi are also pretty messy.
  Is isn´t possible to get this software back without using the recovery disk?

  As you probably know recovery image installed on Toshiba laptops is a kind of software that includes the operating system, drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utilities but also some additional software like antivirus or DVD player application.

  All drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba download page, and if you want to install the version of the OS, you can download each of them.
  This additional software is not available for download. It's a kind of gift on the owner of the laptop because as the new owner, your machine must be ready to employment with full protection and opportunities to use multimedia content.

  If you don't like it, you can remove the system and use your own applications.

  Summary: this software cannot be downloaded separately and if you want to have it again, you must install original image of recovery designed for your machine.

  If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

• Question aboput using the recovery disk

  If I use the recovery disk, it will remove the Toshiba assist installed on my pc? I don't have the tools and disk utilities.

  Thank you

  Using the recovery disc disc HARD integer will be erased but it is applied to factory as from the date of purchase. This means that everything will be installed again (all drivers, tools, and utilities).

  The laptop will be as good as new. And of course Toshiba Assist is part of the recovery image and it will be there again.

  Good bye

• Desktop HP pavilion s5-1540: using the recovery disk

  I have the recovery disc I made when I got this pc.

  Now, I need to use.  I started the pc with the disc, but nothing happened.

  Can I get advice on how to use the recovery disk?

  Note.  I'm not very computer savy.

  I sent my pc in for repair to a place of repair no HP (insurance).  They have installed a generic operating system but there is no program file.  I want my pc as it was when I got it.

  I can't get these disks to run.

  any help is much ajppreciated.

  Insert the recovery disk 1 in the drive, restart the PC, when you see the HP logo screen start to type F9 on the keyboard, this should load the Boot Manager, and then highlight (using up/down keys) internal CD-ROM drive cd/dvd and press ENTER, it will now boot from the recovery disc 1 and we hope to start the restore process.

  It is a long process not to disturb the tactile keys or pc, while he recovers, it will reboot several times on his own, you know when it is done when it asks you to set up the pc for first time use.

  Make sure that the recovery discs are clean before you start.

  I am a new user to the computer and try to create a recovery disk before installing windows 7

  For problems/questions to produce or to use recovery disks, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  It is process/software recovery of the manufacturer of the computer, not Microsoft.

  Each manufacturer has their own way to do it.

  Search in a manual, under programs or email/phone them.

• How to recover files before using the recovery disk?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium and when I turn it on it loads the screen where you log does not appear, it has a black screen with a mouse, and I need to use the recovery disk to get back to normal, but I don't want to format the hard drive that I have a lot of files so it is anyway to recover the files?

  Hello

  In my opinion the easiest way is you remove the laptop HARD drive and put it in a box external HARD disk. Then, you can connect this external HARD disk to a different computer now and have access to the files on your HARD drive and you can perform a backup.

  An alternative you can boot from a Linux Live CD and back up your files on a different USB devices.

• Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

  Hello world

  I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
  This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

  If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
  Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

• Satellite A200 - recovery disk will install Windows?

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200. Hard drive is dead and he changed a new.

  If I buy the product recovery disc will be functioning and install windows vista family premium provided with the machine?

  Hi spiropi,

  Yes, the Toshiba Recovery disk will install the original operating system supplied with the notebook. Toshiba Recovery disk always works, even you changed the HARD drive. The disc contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools, then everything will be installed automatically and you get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

  Thus, you can order such a disc and you can the original settings on your new HARD drive. :)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Have you tried to format the HARD disk until you try to use the recovery disk?
  Sometimes, I read in the forum that this may solve the problems with the recovery disk and so you can take the Windows XP disc or another tool that is able to format the drive.

  But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.
