Using identical laptop recovery for mine reformatting disks

I'll try and keep this base. I bought a L855-149, but shortly after, he started getting blue screens. I rang Toshiba, who told me to do the recovery discs in case they had to send me a new hard drive, so I made these discs. However, at the end of the day, the shop I bought the laptop just replaced the computer with a new model even a - and probably the same strain that all this has happened in a few weeks.

Replacement laptop has worked without any problems at all, but a few days ago he has been infected with malicious software, a browser redirection virus which I set and a few other similar files apparent that I seems especially clearing around through several different malware scanners and running antivirus scans. All works well, but I'm uncomfortable and knows that there is always some associated files dragged somewhere that I didn't, so I want to just reformat the entire system, so I can be so certain that it is possible that my info is safe.

My problem is I very stupidly forgot to make the new recovery disc for the new laptop when I got it. So I can use the original L855-149 recovery disks, and if I can, what makes the blue screens on this transfer through my current Satellite disks could?

Or would I be better to simply make my current Satellite recovery disks and hope that the malware has not disappeared near the recovery partition?

Also, am I correct that reformatting does not void your warranty?

Thanks in advance.

Something like this will not happen. Create recovery disks or install the recovery image using disk HARD recovery option. more info on what you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm or in manuals s user document.

> Also, am I correct that reformatting does not void your warranty?
Yes, you are. You can install recovery so often desired image.

  • Can I use on another identical laptop recovery partition?

    I can't access or find the partition recovery on a laptop but another I have almost the same, there just a disc extra, a little faster and more memory for the video card. Is it possible to copy the partition recovery starting to restore the other and when the Vista key product changes that came with the machine that I restore?

    Microsoft said that the key is still valid, but there may be some problems with drivers or other problems later and that I might get a Toshiba Recovery disk. The reason why they gave was that it must be returned to the factory. What do they mean, is it delete partitions, format the drive? All this will be done by the restore process so I don't see how that will stop it but maybe the will of BCD. In any case, what do mean by 'presets '?

    At first, I must say that the original image recovery is designed specific software separately for each laptop model. With other words, you cannot use the image of the recovery on two machines with different hardware platform. Pilots are not the same.

    Second important thing is that you may be able to copy certain image on a machine, but you will not be able to have access to it and you will not be able to start the recovery image installation.

    N my option best opinion for you is to get the original recovery for your machine installation disc and you'll be sure that installation works and you'll have the right image is installed.

    Original installation disc of recovery can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • HP Pavilion dm4 - create from an identical laptop recovery disks?

    I bought two HP Pavillion dm4s is about 2 years old, they are exactly the same, one for each child. One of them reported an imminent failure of the HD, I ran diagnosis and there is a smart hard disk error, I have re-sat HD, no luck.   I created a back up to a separate HD and ordered a replacement HD.

    My question is... can I create recovery discs from the other laptop to use for the recovery of the laptop with the failing HD?

    Hello

    As long as the machines (and the version of Windows - IE the Home Premium etc.) are identica, then Yes, the discs created on 1 machine should work correctly on the other.

    Note:  Be sure to replace the failed drive HARD with one of the same capacity (or slightly larger) - installing a lower capacity drive is likely to cause problems with the recovery process.

  • Can I use my laptop CD drive good install disks of program on another mini laptop (with broken screen)?

    I have a Dell Inspiron Mini running on Windows XP, that I dropped and broke a plastic wedge.  The broken plastic cut a wire to the screen, leaving me with a white screen.  I was able to use the fn 1 toggle to turn on a second monitor via a HDMI cable.  However, I decided that the blank white screen bothers my eyes, I went into the display settings and select 'make this my main screen' which means, do my main screen TV.  However, he turned off the TV screen instead of the empty white laptop screen.  The Fn 1 button no longer works.  I tried to do a manual telephone walkthough with Dell system restore.  By restoring the computer to its factory settings, I should allowed to use the Fn 1 button again to turn on my TV via HDMI cable - without success.  Therefore, Dell confirmed that I had a software internal problem and recommended that I post him for repair (no guarantee).  The Dell Inspiron Mini has no CD Rom internal drive, however, I have the original disks supplied with the notebook software program which is five years (or more).  The Dell Inspiron Mini operating system is Windows XP.

    Now, I have a laptop HP large format, with CD Rom drive, running on Windows 7.   Can I use my HP CD Rom to install the original records of the original Dell Inspiron mini Dell program?  Thank you.

    Thanks for the tips.

    You are welcome. :)
