What card SD size should I expect create a recovery disk?

I just bought an inspiron 11 3000 series 2-in-1 for my son to school.

God knows, it will probably load tons of stuff on him that will finally it slow down for analysis and I will need to freshen up before the road of the school year.  So, I want to create a system for her drive until it begins to use it and I want to use a cool map only for that, so I can keep them safe and not have it used for something else.

What is the size of a disk I need create this recovery disk and system?  I used to use only the old CD, but it was at the time where I really was just reinstall the generic Windows and don't care about the drivers and others for my desktop PC.  I want to keep his laptop pretty much OEM factory to make our lives a little easier in the long run.

A 8 GB would be plenty for this?

Thank you

This flash drive will be dedicated to the backup, if anything more than 16G is wasted. 64G may be a best value in general, but in this case, I recommend the thumb drive 16G cheaper than you can find, and I would also like to make two just to be sure.

  • Screen flickers on Satellite L300 and I am unable to create a recovery disk

    Hi all

    I just bought a model L300 PSLB0C 08R08C number.
    I was unable to create a recovery disk, I was getting an error message saying it cannot create disk because it is scratched or has dirt on it, I lost 5 nine DVD.

    I am went to the store and replaced by another unit, but had the same problem (I have not tried a different brand of DVD well)

    Second issue with this device, the screen flashes once whenever it is in a shutdown state.
    Number 3, the wireless card disappears from the Device Manager, until I restart.
    Laptop made in China ;-)

    Any suggestions are much apprecaited

    Hello

    It is indeed strange that you were unable to create a recovery disk, and that the problem has resurfaced, even after permutation of the laptop with another unit of the store. However, if you have not tried a different brand of DVD so I suggest that if the laptop asks the disc is scratched or has dirt on it. I'm not sure if toshiba factory in fact blank DVDs, but if they do, it would be a starting point, as one would expect hardware toshiba would happily work with their own brand DVD media. However, if you can't find toshiba dvd then use another trust mark, for example, Imation and TDK. with my experience, I have tried many brands of DVD and have found very reliable TDK.

    regarding the second question, this may be related to the graphics card in the system, or could be due to the performance of the computer laptop itself. Check that you have the latest driver for your graphics card and all the settings on the computer are optimized / hard drives are defragmented and deleted unnecessary files. with your third question, this question could also be related to driver problems, check your regional drivers toshiba site for the latest drivers again. failing this, I would back up your data and then restore to a factory condition, then install the drivers immediately. I hope this info can help you somehow.

  • Create a recovery disk

    Trying to upgrade Vista to Windows 7, I received instruction to make a recovery disk.  When you try this, a message 1 only one copy is allowed and 1 was created.  It is possible that my husband created 1 when the Office was bought, but we cannot locate.  What are my options?  We have a flash drive for backup, is - it possible that this automatically made a recovery?  What are my options?  Should I proceed without the recovery disk?

    Hello

    It doesn't sound like a set of recovery disks Vista has already been created, but you can order a replacement game using the link below - I would definitely recommend these commands, but you can upgrade in the meantime.

  • HP Pavilion 17 - I was sick, created my recovery disks and a BIG thank you

    After being sick for about 7 days, I was finally able to create my recovery disks on Friday, 1/24.  Everything seems fine except for a couple of pop-ups in the process.  The two pop-up windows had to do with DVD RW drive E one say a word on the listen to what is happening with removable disks and another on plays to see what is happening with the blank discs.  These 2 messages appeared after having burned the first disc, discs later and disappeared before I could answer.  But, I think that the creative process was not serious, because each disk burned correctly, each disc has been verified and message saying something on start-up line was made.

    I also read in my sense that you delete the recovery partition on the hard disk to reclaim space for additional storage.  Is this something rreally what should be done?

    Also my Revovery (D reader says it was modifed 01 24, 2014 at 10:38, file type.)  Why we say that, when I created only the recovery discs?

    In addition, on my HP Support Assistant it said still to creat in 2 sections recovery discs, one in "Updated and developed them, HP messages" in the section «Battery and performance»  I used the printed instructions from HP to create consumer support of discs.  This is - why it still makes its appearance in the HP Support Assistant and I can remove them from there?

    Thanks-Yous of thanks go out to those who have helped me on this site, especially CherylG.

    CherylG, you've been very patient with me for answering all my questions.  I know that I have brought you crazy with some of them!  And I can certainly understand that, but you show no frustration with me in the comments to my questions.  You know, be patient with us, the elderly (laughing while typing this comment).  I know for a fact that I will have that other qustions happen if I can't easily find the answers in the online documents.  I hope that you will help me once again (LOL, laughint outloud here).

    Oh, I noticed the length of time you've been helping people on this forum and the number of responses you have accumulated in this time.  I am very sure that there are many people who have used and still use this forum appreciate your expert help... I know I do.

    Thank you, once again.

    A little encouragement?  I would say that you have provided a lot of encouragement I really needed.  Thank you for your answers to my questions in the post above.  Oh, the information on the HP Wizard program in the manufacture of recovery disks that disappeared.

    Thanks again for your expert advice.

    Take care.

  • Re: Satellite L355D - how to create a recovery disk?

    I searched all over the forums, but does not know how to create a recovery disk works for my laptop. I know it is run from a partition on the HARD drive, but I can't figure out how to access this partition. Should there be some sort of built-in utility?

    Thank you

    You can create the recovery only DVD disc if your laptop computer has preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and factory settings.

    Please check if you can find this tool under start > all programs > Toshiba. There you should find shortcuts to launch this utility.

  • Create the recovery disk

    I have a pavilion dv6 Windows 7 and he needs a reconstruction. It doesn't have a D: partion but I wanted to play it safe and to create the recovery disk set in case there was a problem with the drive D. I bought some Maxell dvd + R disc but are not accepted by this utility.

    According to the utility I use either + r or - R disc, why did he not accept

    Thanks for any constructive help

    Get your product number by pressing Fn + ESC key or check the Service tag on the bottom, may be under the battery.

    Go to 'Support & drivers' at the top of this page. Enter your product number. After you enter the PN, click Next, then choose the software & Drivers.On the next page use the menu drop down to select your (probably Windows 7 64-bit) operating system. A list will fill with the drivers. Recovery media should be listed as an option to purchase, if you live in the United States / CA. usually around $17.

    If a recovery media is not listed, use the link that I posted above to get the phone number. Often if you support your software fails to create the set they send a free of charge.

    Concerning

    I suspect that the operating system on your laptop is probably not an OEM copy because of which the Recovery Manager is not available

    FYI, if the Recovery Manager was available, you can restore (restore your laptop back to the factory State) without the need to create recovery discs. The D:\ disc that is the recovery partition that would help you to do on your laptop.

    Try these steps and see if it works.

    1. click on Start button and type "devmgmt.msc" without the quotes and press ENTER key

    2. right click on the drive D:\ - HP Recovery partition and select Mark Partition Active.

    3. what would give you an alert/prompt, where you must choose Yes brings you to the Recovery Manager screen and restart your computer. You can follow the link that I provided above to start the process of recovery on your laptop.

    Note:

    Please backup your files before recovering on the laptop that it would result in the loss of data.

    I can't refresh PC or create the recovery disk. He keeps going with error message "Cannot find the necessary files" and tells me to insert the recovery media. There is no system restore point, and I've upgraded to Windows 7 Windows 8 Pro without a disc, so I can't do anything. Help!

    2 are you facing problems with Windows 8?

    3. how many accounts is configured in the computer?

    You can scan the file system (CFS) auditor. This will replace the corrupted Windows files.

    Follow these steps:

    (a) start the desktop view.

    (b) open the command prompt, right-click in the left corner when the windowappears, and select prompt (admin).

    I accidentally uninstalled the program "Recovery Disc Creator". But the folder with Win Vista Recovery disc information are still in my computer. Now, I want you help me in creating a recovery disk. My system is very unstable. So I want to re install. I hope you can help me.

    Sorry, but why did you uninstall the recovery disk creator?

    However, now you can not create the recovery disk because you have uninstalled the program to create the disc.

    The only way I know is you use HARD drive recovery option to reinstall your laptop. You can use it if you go to the advanced boot menu (F8 before Windows starts), choose repair my computer, and then select the Toshiba HDD Recovery feature.

    Normally you get this message if you start your laptop on first use:

  • Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

    Hello
    I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
    I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
    The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

    I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
    There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

  • Satellite A300D - create a recovery disk

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba A300D. Recently, I installed the version BETA of Windows 7, wiping my installation of Windows Vista on my laptop, now I don't want Windows 7 more and wants to return to Vista. I still have the recovery partition in drive D, but I don't know how to be: create a recovery from this disk or restore using this straight from the trunk. I tried pressing F11 at the Toshiba flash at startup screen, and who just go to a screen that says "Windows could not start...". "etc, I also tried to go to the Multiboot menu and selecting HDD2, and who does not work either.

    So can someone tell me how I can restore back to Windows Vista, I'm not taken worth losing data as I alll backed up on an external hard drive.
    Where can I get the Toshiva Recovery Disc Creator software anywhere?

    Hello

    He's a bad friend... usually it is not possible to restore the laptop on the factory (in the image of Toshiba) settings if you have removed the Vista HARD drive and not create the recovery disk...

    The recovery disk is THIS essential disk and must be created at the beginning!

    But maybe you're a lucky guy...
    I found this thread with a nice tutorial posted by forum user.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=164927&

    I didn't test it and I don't know if it will work, but I think you're last option... otherwise, you will need to order the Toshiba recovery disc.
