What is the recovery disc include - Satellite A300?

Hello. I have a laptop Satellite A300.
I have seen that my computer has 1 hidden partition in the first drive and another recovery file in the second disc.

(1) what is the difference between the 2?
(2) I accidentally deleted the file on the second drive, and now I am unable to create a recovery disc, so I need to order a new one.

What is the disk? It only installs the operating system, or it will also include some of the software came with my laptop (Microsoft works, using the camera software and so on...)

Thank you.

(1) it's pretty easy. The hidden partition contains the Windows recovery environment and the file on the second partition in HARD disk recovery file, factory settings or leave a picture of her.
The recovery environment is a feature of Vista, not a Toshiba. If you want to return factory settings, or to reinstall Windows, you need the HARD drive recovery function or the Toshiba recovery disc.
Here is a useful link to the recovery environment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

(2) the reason why you can t create the recovery disk is that you deleted the file. On the second partition in HARD disk recovery file is normally only for this image and this can also be used for the recovery of HARD drive feature. Therefore, you need to go into the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. But now it s too late and you can t use this feature.

If you want the recovery disc, you can order directly into a new to Toshiba:
https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
The recovery disk contains the operating system and all the drivers and tools you need for the Toshiba laptop.

I m that you have right didn't look in the manual? ;)
Otherwise you all know what I told you.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - the recovery disc include music and programs?

    I have a Satellite A300 and were invited to "recover"my computer."

    I did not yet a recovery disk and I was wondering if the files (ie. music) would be included in the recovery, and if they were not would be removed. Also, I was wondering about the programs (ie. iTunes), it will be recovered because I do the recovery with installed disk.

    It's just a problem because I have 250GB of music and I would like to take a moment to move to my laptop hard drive and it would really screw up iTunes.

    Hello

    It s a good idea that you think about the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk because you need so Vista doesn t start. This could happen

    In any case, the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can create with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. What does the program do?
    The recovery disk creator burn a boot drive with a factory image. This means that all the files you have stored on the computer or programs that you have installed are not on the recovery disk. The image I made is stored on the second partition of your laptop in the folder HDDrecovery.

    So before starting the recovery disk, you should back up all the files on a DVD or external HARD disk. The complete HARD disk will be formatted with the recovery disk.

    Moreover, you know the function of HARD drive recovery? It s similar to drive recovery but it formats only the first partition. You can start this feature Toshiba if you go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer and then choose the Toshiba Recovery option. Then you come back to factory settings.

    But the files and programs that you have installed don t affect this image. So don t you worry about this and back up your files at any time.

    I hope you understand now and if you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • What is the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

    Hello guys

    I had a few questions on the recovery CD:

    1. what the recovery CD contain? and the other CD, which is called the media something?

    2 - has Windows inside? So can I format my PC to use it? And where can I find the product key (windows key)

    3. what happens if I wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc., install the software?

    Sorry to ask too but my laptop started to bother me. Just FYI, my laptop is satellite A100-847

    Hello

    I'll try to answer your question.

    1 recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some other software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media, that something is not known to me. Perhaps the exact description can help.

    2 Yes there the Windows operating system. Yes, you can format your laptop to use it. You don't need a product key. Just install it.

    3 I don't know what you mean. The fact is that HARD drive will be formatted before you start the installation of recovery. Make sure that all your important data are saved on an external device.

    Good bye

  • Disc of some issues concerning the recovery of Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422

    Dear all,

    I have problem with my Satellite A215 - S7422 (AMD)
    I bought this unit included Windows Vista Home Premium + recovery disk inside the packaging.
    I love the Vista fitures, amazing!
    But some programs I've had has not supported for Vista. It's too bad for me.
    So, I tried to make new partition installed Windows XP SP2.
    The problem is that my Vista not appeared more.
    So I tried to recover my Vista with my recovery disk. But unfortunately, it has not worked at all.

    Issues related to the:
    1 can recovery CD did not work if divide us the hard disk (make a few partitions)?
    2. my recovery disk file is .tib, so I try to use Acronis Image, while I have my laptop running program has not detected DVD player. I try to copy the file to two disk partition recovery empty, I can see the .tib file, but it did not work also. Can you explain what causes probably?
    3. If I format all the drives that make a player, can Recovery Disc works?

    Please do me a favor for this
    Your help will be appreciated.

    I'm not quite sure how it works on the American series, but I think that it s not very different from the series HAD m.

    (1) No, you can not divide the HARD disk by using the recovery disk. The recovery disc will format the whole HARD disk and create partitions as at the beginning.
    (2) I doubt you can burn using other 3rd party programs. Toshiba has installed creator Toshiba Recovery disk that should be used to burn the recovery disk
    (3) as I said in point 1-> recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive. It s no matter how many partitions is created on the HARD drive. Everything will be erased

  • Re: I lost the recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

    Hi there, my son lost the recovery disc 1 for its Satellite P10.
    We got disc 2 (drivers) but no disc 1.

    Where can I get an another restore disc 1. and what it cost around.

    Post edited by: merdat

    Hello

    Usually you could order the ASP in your country, but I m not very well that if you will be able to order this disc because the P10 is an old notebook series and possibly the recovery discs are not more available for this model.

    However, you must contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
    Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.

    Good luck

  • Is recovery DVDs the only disc with Satellite A200-1CR

    I wonder if I had all the discs with my laptop Satellite A200-1CR, because I can't make heads or tails of the files on the recovery DVDs. Where are all the programs that I should get with the computer., and I had everything installed from the beginning. I want to reinstall windows, but I am concerned if I have all the programs like: winDVD and Norton Security and all the driver.
    Thank you!

    Hello

    The Toshiba Recovery DVD is only one of the disks that came with your laptop.
    On this DVD, you'll find a Toshiba recovery image that contains the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and additional software.
    If you want to redefine the laptop to factory settings then just boot from the recovery disc and the installation will begin.
    But note; the recovery DVDs will format the drive so HARD integer if necessary backup data.

    Other programs like Win DVD or Norton Security are OEM versions and, therefore, are only on the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It of not possible to download it!

  • Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

    Hi all

    I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
    I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
    The laptop runs Vista.

    In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
    What I can do...

    I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
    The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
    I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

    Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

    Thanks a lot for all the help...

    Hello

    What happened exactly?
    Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

    Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

    Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
    It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

    This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

  • Using disc recovery Toshiba for Satellite A300-211

    I bought my lap last April and after the system crash.
    I used the recovery disc I made of the image on the hard drive but it erased all the data into two partitions.

    My question: is it possible to use the disk to format partition C only without erasing data on the other partition?

    Hello

    N ° the recovery disc will format the whole HARD drive and will erase everything from the HARD disk and partition.
    The use of the HDD recovery procedure frame only the C and will leave the data on the data partition.

  • How to install the recovery image on Satellite A200?

    Hi all, I would like to do a restore to factory for my Satellite A200
    I checked their hard drive and confirmed that the recovery partition is still there

    When I want 0 and turn on the laptop, rather than the beep and the warning screen, need me only to windows Boot Manager page
    So I pressed F8 and choose repair computer, I read that I can also start the recovery process by choosing toshiba Recovery Wizard
    But when I press the Recovery Wizard, the cdrom eject and tells me to put in the recovery CD (which I did not)

    What bothers me is I checked the recovery partition is there but I can't find a way to start the process
    Someone knows the solution? Or there is another button to press when you start the machine?

    Thank you very much!

    In your case the drive HARD recovery isn't possible
    So in this case only the Toshiba recovery disc can bring notebook to factory condition.

    You have not created the recovery disc in the past well. Given that the recovery partitions seems to be available on the HARD disk, you can try this workaround

    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

    It should be possible to create a USB flash memory key or a disc using image files which are available on the bootable recovery partition.

    In the worst case if this procedure is not possible, you need to install the clean Microsoft Windows operating system. Essential drivers may be downloaded from the driver page.

  • Help! Maybe I need the recovery disc for pavilion d4790y... + I think I messed...

    I had problems with my office for awhile now, think it might be a fan, virus, hard drive or ram as in my previous post... the computer would freeze/crash or not stop, requiring a firm hard. trying to reboot/restart computer, it would beep several times until I have let it sit for a few minutes, then everything was back to normal (found that might have been an error in the BIOS after all this happened)...

    Now, I have NOT touched or replaced all the components on my computer at all. Nothing! Now I have a debate on the upgrade of OS and RAM, but did not decide whether it was worth on this older machine. So I have done no amendment or change in software. the only change I made to it was not renew norton and goes with vast (free).

    The other day, it suddenly wouldn't boot Win Vista 32 in all. My monitor at startup (before config utility appears) had colored vertical lines across the screen. I immediately thought 'virus' or ' fan isn't card graphic blown is screwed/false driver downloaded... I enter safe mode with network, no problem with the monitor (no lines) and tried driver restore, but also to download nividia the updated. Nothing seemed to work except safe mode (s), system configuration, start the Setup program, CTRL I (don't remember which menu is), & screen of the system restore/repair/diagnose. I tried all the reboot thing pilots config, patterns of change (hard disk only), boot it. When you go to the splash screen (a back screen on startup), no line either... I tried the system restore, did not a thing... I tried the verification of diagnosis, all right... all equipment, the repair of the system did nothing...

    So I take the side box power off to check the components inside to see if any wiring was loose, fans not working/salty, etc... everything OK there besides fan a little dirty. Clean, same thing. Here comes the fun part...

    Now, I backed up all my files and 'backup' on my external hard drive... I thought that I had made the recovery discs or he had came with it when I bought it... I changed the configuration settings RAID0 by removing the old installation and turned to the raid no drives. Then, I created a RAID0 again... I guess you know where this is going...

    He said now insert the boot cd... Now, it of not anything but let me in Control Panel and change the startup preferences...

    I have no recovery disk or I can't find what happened if I have... with backup (for USB) external drives will not work... I kind of looking online hp without result and I saw some online, but that seems pretty shady, especially with the case of the OS...

    I will not buy another office, if I can help it, but I need to know if there is something I can do?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Yes, I've been able to do it once, but you also need an operating system installation disk. You need a USB FDD + OS installation disc and the correct drivers of course on the floppy drive.

    You can use a recovery for this drive yet. It must be an OS installation disc.

    Yes have ultimate could be a problem. If you enter your model number on this site of surgeons in the computer, you get a lot of options showing the recovery disks for different versions of the OS, but only had listed actually drives.

    You need to call HP and ask or email these surgeons computer guys and see if they have the recovery disc for ultimate games.

  • Reset factory settings but the recovery disc is not recognized

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3030sd laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed OA.

    I want to restore it to factory settings, but is not possible using Recovery Manager, because he does not see my recovery Partition.

    Since I have recovery discs, I tried to restore my factory settings using the recovery discs.

    However, it is also not possible. Even after setting my BIOS (boot order first DVD player) the laptop not start using the DVD player.

    Then performed several actions (eventally I still adjusted registry) as mentioned by microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us?

    Still not possible to start using a DVD player.

    It goes the same for USB.

    I can use my DVD player and USB but I can't boot from them.

    How do I restore my laptop to factory settings?

    I still have my product key and I was able to record an English version of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as an image on a DVD.

    What can I do?

    Is it possible to mount it on my virtual DVD drive (BD - ROM drive) (so the picture of windows 7 in the virtual DVD drive and then install it?)

    I hope that there is someone out there who is able to help me!

    Hello

    Sometimes just set the boot priority in the bios menu does not work as it should.

    Try the following.

    Insert your 1st recovery disk, and then click stop the laptop.

    Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu.

    Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.
