Win7 recovery without recovery disks

• Can I reinstall Win7 recovery disks without all the other stuff that goes with it?

  It's time to clean this HPE-510 PC.  It's a slow and clumsy mess.  I have a set of five CDs in a stimulus package that I bought from HP.  (Why so much?)  If someone has purchased a copy of Windows 7 in a store they would get more than one disc?

  What I really want to know.

  After I reformat or wipe the HD can I install just Windows 7 and maybe Office Starter and nothing else?  I don't want unnecessary stuff that came with the PC.  Is there something in addition to Windows and Office, I really need?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hello

  Five 5 DVD CD? Why so much of? Well, they all contain the installation program (including drivers) for you to grab the device to the factory settings.

  If someoe bought a Windows 7 DVD in the store, they will receive ONLY 1 disc and it is the Windows 7 installation disc that contains packed (or compressed in one direction) files for Windows 7 only, no real drivers.

  After installing Windows 7, you need all the drivers for your machine then Office Starter (if you could find it now). You also need something to protect your computer as a software virus or Windows Security Essentials.

  Kind regards.

• 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 install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

  Hello

  I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
  When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

  But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
  I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

  How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

  I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

  If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

  Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
  Shane

  If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

  Return to your partitions.
  When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
  WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
  -C for Vista partition
  Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

  Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

  So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
  -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
  -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

  That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

  Hello!

  First of all, you should check the user manual. There you can find all the details on how to recover a Toshiba laptop.

  In any case, if your laptop came without recovery disk you can create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That's why you need one or two DVDs and then you have factory on a DVD.
  If you created the recovery disk, you can boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. Windows will be reinstalled, and you get back to factory settings.

  But you can also recovery a Toshiba laptop without recovery disk. So go to the F8 advanced boot menu and choose fix my computer. Now, you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, you can search a bit in the forum. You will find a sufficient number of threads on the recovery procedure.

  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

• How to recover the Satellite A100 without recovery disk

  Hi all

  I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 settings * without * a restore CD via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  It is really unfortunate, I know it can be done as I did before butI for the life of me forgotten what was this key sequence I can't find the article I stumbled initially on!

  I've scoured the web looking for this key sequence and all the proposed solutions, I fell on do not seem to work.

  Unsuccessful attempts so far:
  -Press and hold 0 power
  -various suggest 'F' keys: F1, F8, F10
  -now the delete key

  Note: I guess it may be worth mentioning that pressing F8 actually take me on-screen "start options advanced windows" but I don't have any recovery options.

  Yeh Yes, I'd * extremely * grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here because it makes me crazy... the fact that I've done this before, it that much worse!

  > I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 to the factory without the recovery CD settings via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  As I know the A100 series has not been fitted with the recovery of HARD drive partition!
  And so I doubt that any combination of keys will start the partition recovery!

  So you only chance to recover the laptop is to take the recovery disk, then boot from it.
  You can also try to install the disk Microsoft Windows operating system and then could install the drivers of Toshiba on the pilot site of Toshiba!

• The system recovery disk - how do without floppy drive?

  I am trying to create a "system recovery disk" as part of the TOSSHIBA ASSIST (protect and fix the section).

  However, before we proceed, I noted that he was invited to a 'floppy' create a recovery disc but this model without this facility data can be recorded on a CD. I didn't get throughout the procedure and find that I couldn't finish it due to no floppy drive!

  Or otherwise just use the product recovery DVD - Rom supplied with the laptop in case of problem... not sure if this would hold the same data?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello Christine

  If you look carefully on this print option (shortcut) it is written to create the CD drivers & tools and in aria info nothing follow description allows to create an external symbol to the top of the caisse de dépôt drivers & tools.

  You use this shortcut, you can simply create Tools & Utilities CD and not the system recovery media. I did a few times without any problem. Equip your optical drive for CD - R, click on this shortcut, click the button BURN.

  If your goal is to reinstall the operating system there are ways to achieve

  We need to tap the F11 key immediately after presswing the laptop power button. Who will call the Recovery Manager unless you have deleted the recovery partition or have done something to the original disk partition scheme. In the Recovery Manager simply choose to recover your PC for the original operating system

  Alternatively, you can order a set of HP recovery disks.

• Qosmio F60-111 was delivered without the recovery disks

  Dear support team,

  Yesterday 31/07/2010, I went to the distributor of Toshiba in Saudi Arabia and I bought the Qosmio F60-111, Jarir Book Store.

  When I got home, I found that the package do not have the recovery disks, or the operating system.

  So please I want to know is the problem?
  Buy this laptop powerful and to be surprised that they don't have a recovery disc?

  I checked the package so many times and I could not find any disk!

  Please let me know if this is normal or I don't know.
  According to me, I'm being scammed: S

  Anis.

  Hi mate.

  First of all, you should take a look in the user manual of your Qosmio F60 and read the entire manual carefully.

  You will find information on the laptop and the recovery disks.
  The point is that you can create a clean recovery disc using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled tool.
  But all this information is in the user manual too.

  I need to try to do a restore system on my Satellite U400-146.
  However, I don't think it came with a disc.
  Does anyone know how to initiate recovery of the system on this laptop?

  Hello

  The recovery disk was not provided with the laptop because there is a tool called Toshiba Recovery disk Creator that allows you to create a recovery disc!
  Please check if you can create a recovery disk using this tool!

  If this is not possible, then you can check if the HARD drive recovery is available.
