• 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!

• 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

• Question aboput using the recovery disk

  If I use the recovery disk, it will remove the Toshiba assist installed on my pc? I don't have the tools and disk utilities.

  Thank you

  Using the recovery disc disc HARD integer will be erased but it is applied to factory as from the date of purchase. This means that everything will be installed again (all drivers, tools, and utilities).

  The laptop will be as good as new. And of course Toshiba Assist is part of the recovery image and it will be there again.

  Good bye

• Failed to retrieve the Satellite Pro L300 laptop using Toshiba Recovery Disk

  I have a Satellite Pro L300 Vista I'm trying recover using the recovery disk Toshiba official that the machine is not able to retrieve from the hard drive.

  The process gets as much as to start recovery utility and asking to select the language in the utility recovery which I emphasize English and then select next; It moves on the next screen, which is empty and then it just hangs.

  Any suggestions?

  You bought your laptop with the Vista version English?
  What language is marked before selecting English?

• Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

  Hello world

  I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
  This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

  If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
  Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

• Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

  Hey

  I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  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
  2 GB OF RAM
  Hard drive 160 GB

  > 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!

• Desktop HP pavilion s5-1540: using the recovery disk

  I have the recovery disc I made when I got this pc.

  Now, I need to use.  I started the pc with the disc, but nothing happened.

  Can I get advice on how to use the recovery disk?

  Note.  I'm not very computer savy.

  I sent my pc in for repair to a place of repair no HP (insurance).  They have installed a generic operating system but there is no program file.  I want my pc as it was when I got it.

  I can't get these disks to run.

  any help is much ajppreciated.

  Insert the recovery disk 1 in the drive, restart the PC, when you see the HP logo screen start to type F9 on the keyboard, this should load the Boot Manager, and then highlight (using up/down keys) internal CD-ROM drive cd/dvd and press ENTER, it will now boot from the recovery disc 1 and we hope to start the restore process.

  It is a long process not to disturb the tactile keys or pc, while he recovers, it will reboot several times on his own, you know when it is done when it asks you to set up the pc for first time use.

  Make sure that the recovery discs are clean before you start.

• Restore using the recovery disks on Inspiron 15 3521 supplied with Windows 8 Pro. Question on the recovery partition.

  I created by the user recovery disks.  I created them the day I got the computer and he made three of them.  My brother has deleted my recovery partition just now.  My question is, if I resumed my Inspiron 15 3521 using three recovery disks that I created, be it recreate the recovery partition in the process?   I just need an answer to this question, not responses indicating that, if I have the disks, I don't need the recovery partition, why would I want the recovery partition if I have the drive, etc.  I would like to just a simple answer to the question.  If I use the recovery discs, it will recreate the partition recovery with all the info, she was in it when I got to the computer?  Once the recovery is completed from disks, will be that recovery partition be there as the day I got the computer, so if I wanted to (I don't want to, but I'm just a question) I could still create the recovery of her discs?  Basically, the computer will be exactly as it was the day I got it home, recover partition and everything?  Or, it will restore the computer to the new plant, but not to re-create the recovery partition with everything she had in it the day I got it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it will be if you select the correct option.

  Recovery of factory - "deletes all data and resets the Partitions.

  Updating of the factory - "Only restores the System Partition and keep other Partition content".

  It might be good for you to ask a Windows OS DVD 8.0/8.1 just in case the recovery media works however.

• Re: How to get Corel WinDVD without using the recovery disk?

  The update for Corel WinDVD was rather messy and because of this some owners laptop uninstalled to try to install the new software. Now, we ended up with the only possibility of an image recovery, which, in practice, means losing the software.

  Updates for the Bluetooth and wifi are also pretty messy.
  Is isn´t possible to get this software back without using the recovery disk?

  As you probably know recovery image installed on Toshiba laptops is a kind of software that includes the operating system, drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utilities but also some additional software like antivirus or DVD player application.

  All drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba download page, and if you want to install the version of the OS, you can download each of them.
  This additional software is not available for download. It's a kind of gift on the owner of the laptop because as the new owner, your machine must be ready to employment with full protection and opportunities to use multimedia content.

  If you don't like it, you can remove the system and use your own applications.

  Summary: this software cannot be downloaded separately and if you want to have it again, you must install original image of recovery designed for your machine.

  If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

• How to recover files before using the recovery disk?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium and when I turn it on it loads the screen where you log does not appear, it has a black screen with a mouse, and I need to use the recovery disk to get back to normal, but I don't want to format the hard drive that I have a lot of files so it is anyway to recover the files?

  Hello

  In my opinion the easiest way is you remove the laptop HARD drive and put it in a box external HARD disk. Then, you can connect this external HARD disk to a different computer now and have access to the files on your HARD drive and you can perform a backup.

  An alternative you can boot from a Linux Live CD and back up your files on a different USB devices.
