What exactly does the "recovery disk"?

I'm about to reinstall everything on my laptop but would like to know what exactly is the "recovery disk"...

I presume that it formats the HARD drive with a clean installation of the operating system and all applications toshiba as a CD burner, VAP etc. are NOT installed and must be installed afterwards?

Well, the restore CD contains an image of Toshiba. Toshiba picture is a package and contains a Windows operating system, the Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
Simply said that it contains everything that you might find preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop.

And Yes; the recovery CD formats the drive HARD integer (also partitions) and install everything again.
It redefines the laptop to factory settings

    What exactly does the Time Machine backup?

    We have a Mac Pro towers (NOT for sale) and Mac mini with several hard drives installed internally.   Time Machine backup all internal disks or just the boot disk?   This can be configured?

    Time Machine backs up your default boot partition. However, if you have more than one drive or partition on your Mac (and it is formatted in "Mac OS extended (journaled)"), you can set the Time Machine to save these drives too. You can do this by removing these drives from the list of excluded items in System-> Time Machine-> Options... Preferences, so that the next backup will include all internal hard drives or partitions that you want to back up too.

  • Satellite C650 - error reading disk and the recovery disk does not work

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite C650, who has recently developed with a disc read error. I want to access the command prompt to try some possible solutions I've read on the internet.

    I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

    As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

    But there is something else:

  • Info satellite A210 171 what do I need before using the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, have not used before.
    It says on the back of the envelope of recovery disk 'insert the first diskette.

    I guess there should be a second?

    Also this info I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    All I have a black and white sticker that is on the side of the box, it came in, but it was so long ago.

    I'm having a lot of problems with windows install does not and many others.
    Windows updates do not work either and I tried to correct those, but a clean reinstall of the operating system has been recommended.
    Now, at this point nothing will install because windows setup will not work.
    So I think I wil lhave to try a clean install, but I do know that the cd player works.

    I got a great run on this laptop, little slow today for my needs, but all very good product, purchased in 2007.
    With a clean OS and 4 GB of ram that could last for years, cannot afford a new right now.
    I really tried to avoid using a disc of recovery in the past, as I have never had problems until now.

    Thank you

    I m wondering why you get this disc with your laptop, why? Because I do not have the recovery disk, but I had to create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator software
    But my laptop is more recent that your A210 might be the reason why you have this drive

    I have created a recovery disk and I needed two-disc DVD, I think it depends on the size of the image file

    > Also what information I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    This is not necessary because your system has already been activated.

    But I recommend you backup your personal data, because the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and you will lose the files.

    PS: you should read other threads in product recovery forum!

  • Computer HP laptop, does not accept the recovery disks and don't accpet Windows Vista upgrade (HomeP to ultimate).

    Apparently the upgrade does not recognize that Windows is on the drive, but cannot restore the original software as HP blocked their recovery disk. The recovery partition is there, but he cannot get starter.  The recovery disks have the original spirit operating system Windows - how can I get the upgrade to recognize?

    Hello

    an upgrade must be done from vista, NOT operating system by booting from the disk to upgrade

    as you have problems using the maunfacturers recovery process, upgrade disc etc., read what you may have hardware problems.

    If you have problems with the process of recovery of manufacturers, contact the manufacturer

    It's their recovery process not microsofts

    Hey

    And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

    My specs are:
    Intel Pentium

    > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

    E:\ is the name of the DVD player. I use Verbatim DVD - R blank, I have the laptop on the power during the burning process and I tried twice with two different disks and got the same result. How can I solve this problem?

    Hello Voger

    I have created many recovery on several Toshiba laptops DVDs and never noticed anything like that. I used that brands and DVD-R discs were Verbatim or TDK.

    Unfortunately I can't answer it what does this message mean, but you should try to repeat the creation of DVD. If possible try with TDK.
    If the same thing happens again I recommend you recovery your laptop using recovery of HARD drive option and try to create discs of recovery again.

    Sorry, but I don't see any other possibility at the moment.

  • Satellite L500 - 19 X - cannot use the recovery disk

    Well I had this phone two days ago and he used once after installing fire fox and my mobile to wide band of the driver and going to start and find it of going to happen.

    I tried SafeMode (three) and repair and all I got was a screen black with the cursor upward where it should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disc supplied with the notebook) so anyway, after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to fix it, I tried to install , but of course, this does not work, or so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and has perfectly worked, then I updated (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problem, so I tried again with the original windows 7 comes pre-installed on the hard drive on the laptop and everything went find until she starts the installation of the driver or updates (I not 100% sure on this but it or after the installation of face recognition.

    Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

    Now, I was told it could be the registry or there is a problem of graphics, I get pretty tired of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.

    So if there is anyone who knows of what is wrong or what to do or whether it should be returned to fix, which will be very useful.

    I thank everyone in advance.

    Happy new year :)

    Hello

    Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

    At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

    In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

    Good bye

  • How to restart the Satellite 5200 801 without using the recovery disk?

    Hello
    I haven't used my Satellite 5200 801 for awhile and now it does not start. That's what I have on the black screen:

    Intel® Boot Agent Version 4.1.04
    Copyright © 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
    Insert system disk in drive.
    Press a key when tready.

    I have the product recovery disc, but which will erase all existing data and rebuild. Is there a way to boot my PC without the use of the recovery disk?

    Thanks for any help.

    > PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    This message means that laptop tried to boot from LAN.
    Given that this was not possible the PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable appeared

    I guess that the HARD drive is defect and therefore, the laptop won't boot from the internal HARD drive.
    In this case also your internal data on the HARD disk are lost.

    But to be100% sure that you can remove the laptop HARD drive, could use a drive enclosure HARD 2.5 to connect the HARD drive to another computer just to check if you would be able to access data on the HARD drive

  • Satellite Pro A210 - how to retrieve it with the recovery disk lost?

    I had some problems with my individual Pro A210 (AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Vista, 120 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM), and it seems that I did the recovery disks when new and you have misplaced them.

    What can I do?

    The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

    Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

    If this does not work, press F8 rapidly after the Toshiba start screen to enter in the Windows Start menu, where you can choose to run the recovery/restore.

  • Re: Satellite L300D comes with the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I don't get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know if Satellite L300D is provided with the recovery disk?

    As much I know computers made from the middle of 2007 aren't provided with the operating system recovery disks. How can I find out what year my satellite is made?

    Thank you very much

    All new models of laptops including your are delivered without the recovery DVDs.
    Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.

    Akuma is right. "You need to create a recovery media using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut that you can find on the desktop. Please do so and for the creation of recovery media I recommend you to use media high quality as TDK or Verbatim DVD-R.

    You can install OS using the F8 key at startup to the top. The guideline how to proceed you will find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Note please. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install another operating system on the first partition. the second partition can be in original condition, but this F8 option will be gone.

    If you have any other questions please let me know.
