• HP OEM Vista restore disks work after installing Windows 7 RC?

  The title of the post pretty much everything says. I would like to try the Windows 7 RC, but I also wish I could go back to Vista, at some point. It seemed that the restore disks did not have a complete reinstall the last time (it resets windows pretty quickly). If I load Windows 7 RC, I'll be able to use my restore disks from HP to postpone Vista on my system?

  Thank you

  If your specific working set of restore disks really depends on if they were created successfully; However, a set of disks of restoration work should certainly work. At least with my CL Pavillion DV-4-1287, Recovery Manager also continued to work after an upgrade to Windows 7, then a reinstallation via clean install without shaped.  Initially, he works with none of the additional steps, in the second, I just need to copy the application on of c:windows.old\program files (x 86) \sminst.  Unless you have reason to do so, while a clean install is the best route, I wouldn't do a format with a clean install, since all your drivers are stored in the Windows.old folder and (dependent on model) the swsetup folder.  Windows 7 can not find the drivers for all devices (five in my case) but on my machine all drivers Vista has of worked - just needed to point the manual driver update function to the appropriate folded equal windows.old or swsetup. BTW, while drivers Vista came with my laptop running Windows 7, the same is not true for some recent updates on the website.

  Oh, one last thing would be to update the BIOS before installing Windows 7 from the Flash of the bios Setup program is not yet certified for Windows 7 (no surprise since it's always a BONE development)...

• Satellite L300 - Question about restore disks

  Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

  However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
  I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

  Any advice appreciated help.

  Hi tarajanes,

  To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

  Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  In case you get an error message: what message you get exactly?

• Re: Satellite L300 - 18 d - how can I get a Vista restore disk?

  Hello world

  My laptop (Satellite L300 - 18 d) has been seriously infected by viruses, all corrupt. I need to resinstall Vista but do not have the restore disc. After searching around, I managd to download a restore disk of some sites, but when I used this disc, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that works with my OEM product key.

  How can I get the restore disc that will work with my OEM license?

  Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying that it could not detect the hard drive, there is nothing wrong with the hard drive, I tested it on another laptop. Is there an any obstacle o install XP on this laptop that came with Vista of origin. Is there a security Messure somewhere that I collapsed to install XP?

  Thanks in advance

• Question about Tecra M4 system restore disks

  I am looking to buy a Tecra M4. Toshiba provide a "correct" restoration method I have no problems with restore disks, but have had problems with windows restore sometimes. They provide a factory restore disc or I have to look at the creation of a Ghost disk.

  I need to know just if I can start lookging for a good approx. ghosting before buying.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  Hi Robert,.

  Portable Toshiba computers are sold with an OEM "bundle" of the software. This means that you will receive either a CD/DVD that contains an image that can be restored to the full version of the software, or a file preloaded on your laptop from which you can create your own drive can be restored.

  This disk can only be used to completely restore your system to its original factory condition, and you cannot use it to selectively restore files or individual components.

  You can also receive a tools and Utilities CD/DVD that contains specific Toshiba provided to public services.

  If you want to create your own backup copy of your data/system files, then you will need to invest in one of the packages commercial (I use Acronis True Image myself) as well as an appropriate external environment (I use a USB hard drive).

• Satellite L350-235 a restore disk runs on a brand new HARD drive?

  Hello

  My hard drive is dead (completely) 3 days out of warranty.
  Recovery discs has not yet loaded, all I had was a black screen and a mouse pointer.

  So I bought a new hard drive. Problem I have now is how to install Windows on a new drive.
  What should I get Toshiba?

  I obviously paid for Windows Vista, when I bought the laptop, so I'm a little confused on what to do next.
  A restore disk will work on a whole new drive?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Didn t drive recovery does not happen with the laptop because you had an option to create one using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  You now have this disc which can be ordered here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
  The recovery disk works also with the new HARD drive!

• restore disks

  I have two identical HP computers (Pavilion d4890y).  We have a failed hard drive.  Whatever the restore disks I use to rebuild the new hard drive?  They are not labelled differently.

  Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4890y. If ordered them in the same way, then no descendants using a set of HP recovery disk. If they were ordered with different configurations, there may be issues when you use the wrong set of HP Recovery Disc. You can compare the recovery discs to see if they are same... simply display the disks in your computer and compare this file counts and space used on each drive.

• T420 restore disks

  Had a computer with a hard drive dead, where the only way I could create some restore disks was in safe mode and running the EXE file directly from the drive Q. He created the startup disk and diskettes 3.

  I put in a new hard drive and when I try to launch the boot drive, it launches the Windows recovery environment and does not give me the ability to run Startup Repair on a Windows installation (which is not found on the new hard drive, or of the course) or restore a backup. If I chose to restore a backup, he found nothing.

  I thought that booting from the boot floppy took me through a process similar to the one where you launch ThinkVantage when booting from the hard drive OEM. What Miss me?

  Use the bootdisk, I created other the T420 and media disks, I created from the T420 failed. Restored by default.

• Restore disks lost recovery partition & Windows XP

  If I have two M series Thinkcentres with compatible machine types. Can I use a set of the first Thinkcentre restore disks to install Windows XP on a second Thinkcentre of the factory where the disk partition recovery and install has become corrupted?

  As utilities and applications Thinkcentre install under a copy retail Windows XP (installed on a Thinkcentre)?

  for example, the software fingerprint reader, Rescue and Recovery, Client Security, etc.

  Yes, if the model is the same (same first 4 digits) you can use the recovery on the second machine disks. You will load the disks, and then once this process is complete, you select F11 at startup and then restore the factory state once the load the Windows recovery.

  No specific request for Thinkcentre will load with a copy to the detail of Windows. You will need to go to the Lenovo download page and install the applications individually.

• Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm system restore disks required

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm.  The hard drive has been damaged without repair possible and I put a new hard drive in it, but I have system restore disks.  They are no longer available for purchase.  Anyone know where I can get a set?  The original operating system is Windows Vista.

  Hello:

  I don't see that HP has them.

  It would link to the recovery media to order on the Vista 32 bit laptop driver page.

  But can call HP and ask first. Maybe you can order them by phone and they would cost less ordering them to surgeons in the computer.

  If HP does no more, you can still get this provider on the link below.

  What is your computer brand and model? You may be able to buy a drive for restoration of the manufacturer. Otherwise, the option to restore factory settings may be an option.

  Restore factory settings is destructive that it deletes all the data files or programs installed if you need to explore methods of recovery before restoring. It can be the installation of the hard drive as a second drive in another computer or using an external hard drive enclosure. You should be aware that portable players are 2.5 "and office disks are 3.5" as this afects the options available.
