Depends on which option that you select when you get to the recovery screen. If your select Repair, your personal files are kept, but you may have to reinstall programs that were not shipped with the system. The other option is to reset to the factory settings. This option erases your hard drive and reinstalls the Ant OS restores your system to the way it was when you first pulled out of the box.* *

And I lose all my media files?

If you don't back them up before proceeding, yes you.

* Don't, you cannot run AVG and Norton together. They both have real time protection and which certainly causes a conflict.* *.

  • Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

    I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

    With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

    My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

    Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
    I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

    If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

    I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

    Thanks in advance,
    Yossi Beck

    Hey Yossi

    I think you have misunderstood something!

    You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

    Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

    So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
    This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

    Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

    but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
    That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

  • Re: Tecra M9 - using the recovery disc

    Hello, can someone please help.

    I don't have a model Tecra M9. PTM90E-05700WEN serial No. Y76875H professional XP operating system.

    The problem I have is as follows - I would like to reset the machine back to factory settings, I have the product recovery disc that came with it as well as the Microsoft Office Basic 2007 license key.

    Instructions on the cover of the album simply say "insert the first disc in the drive and turn off the computer. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disc drive in the menu. Follow the who make their appearance on the screen. »

    Problem # 1 - I only have one disc, I can certainly say that I have lost. instructions refer to "first record suggesting there is more than one. The disc I have is clearly marked "product recovery". There are some numbers on the disc namely - GMR400776EN0 and also SD124219 of CD.
    The disc is also clearly marked Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

    Problem # 2 - when I make the instructions above, nothing else that the system starts normally. I can assure you that I am pressing F12 before the opening of Windows.

    I don't get the option to select anything and even less the optical disk drive. I tried several times but always the same result.

    Otherwise, I've tried - using the F8 key button brings up options menu, ie SafeMode etc etc work, but nothing referring to fix the computer.

    Press and hold 0 then that until the computer starts.

    Best regards and many thanks

    Hello

    Tecra M9 is older model laptop so method with F8 or zero will not work.

    The instructions are nothing else than the General instructions and not written for your Tecra M9 only. Recovery image is not the same for all models of laptops. They are so different with some laptops, there is a disc only, but with some models, there are two disks.

    I believe you when you say you've got a disc only.
    How to start recovery disc installation there are three methods:
    -Start Notepad and enter the BIOS settings > change the boot order and put the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.
    -key c close several times to start laptop. This will force the optical disc drive to be the first boot device.
    -start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. Place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

    Please test all these methods and send feedback.

  • Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

    Hello

    I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.

    I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

    Thanks for any help.

    The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

    Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

    Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

    It makes you, thank you.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx Enterta: how to use the recovery discs

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx Entertainment Notebook PC laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1. All Windows updates have been installed. I did a scan for sfc.exe. Empty folder of Pendingrenames then the scan has begun with this empty folder. Once the scan has been done there 2 156 files in the folder Pendingrenames put by sfc.exe.

    The CBS.log log shows more than 2500 pages of problems reported by sfc.exe/scannow. It's huge to be listed here. Most seem to be related to the 'stores' relative to the updates of Windows that have been downloaded in the past months. Looks like there are about 6 500 system files corrupted reported and not of miracle.  I think that "WinDoze" people don't like me not with nearly 90% of the corrupt files were caused by the downloaded Windows updates.

    The newspaper says in 95% of the problems, he was unable to remedy. I don't have a Windows 7 installation DVD because my OS is an OEM installation so I can't perform a "repair Windows". My only recourse seems to use my HP recovery disks. There are 3 DVD, numbers 1 and 2 seems to be the recovery of the DVD and number 3 seems to be a kind of supplement, possibly having to with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.  Don't know what the 3rd DVD or how to use it. Any suggestions what it is and how to install it would be greatly appreciated.

    Someone at - it suggestions as what I can do, in addition to a full recovery. My restore points do not go back too far that when these Windows updates have been downloaded and installed.

    Is there a list of the Windows updates & Windows somewhere that should not be loaded with this operating system? I plan to install all updates "critical", "largest". I might just give up those optional. I downloaded and tried the update Rediness tool (SURT) system which was a complete exercise in futility. Just made me more the corrupted system files.

    Would appreciate any help that I can use with this. I look forward to a full recovery, since it will take me several hours to reinstall all my programs.

  • Portege R100: extraction failure when you use the recovery disc 1

    Hello

    Restart of my r100 is an ongoing saga. I managed to acquire a px1055e with cable of 16-bit pcmcia card (also a bios updated to 1.6 just in case where). I tried to use my original recovery CD but I now get "failed to extract" always when disk 1 is in half way through the partition of loading. It is interesting to try a bootable windows xp cd and if my hard drive is damaged, what should I do.

    Appreciate any help,

    Adam

    Hello Adam

    You should try to use the facilities of Microsoft CD and see if the installation procedure will run at the end. It is not easy to say anything on the recovery of installation with a CD. May be defective CD or disk HARD making trouble.

    Try to use the original Microsoft CD and let us know what happens. If the problem persists I would recommend you to check the HARD drive.

  • Installation operating system using the recovery disc - Satellite Pro U200

    I bought just a U200 and took to rebuild so I understand how it works.

    I have to reinstall from the recovery disk, I was wondering when the recover, there is a question on partitioning, I would partition a drive C and D, machine is when I would do, the question is asked to the amount of space to be allocated to the partition, if allotted jemti 20 GB I'd get a 20 GB C drive and a D drive on the 40 GB remaining?

    Hello

    You are right. If you choose to 20 GB, it will create a 20 GB partition and this partition will be installed the operating system. When you start the second partition (40GB) preinstalled OS will be not visible and you must create a logical partition.

    You can do if you start Computer Management click Disk Management. Click with the right button of the mouse on the partition marked black and choose the option to create the logical drive. Follow the instructions and the D partition will be created.

    If you have any other questions, please write again.

  • NTLDR is missing after using the recovery disc - Satellite A100-493

    Hello

    I come from Germany and I have a Toshiba Satellite Notebook, which I bought new in 2006.

    After nearly three years, he started showing problems and slow, so I backed up my files and inserted the "Product recovery" CD that came with the laptop. I followed the Instructions and it began to unwind. After that about 1%, it displays a short Error Message, which I was not able to write down again and stops.

    When I restart the computer says ist «NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» When I do that it shows me the same "NTLDR is missing" Message, no matter how many times I reboot the thing.

    I tried to redo the whole fotmatting, but it always comes out the same way. What di - I do?

    G Demolidor

    It's very strange. If the recovery disk is not damaged the only reason for interruption of the installation may be faulty HARD drive or some problem there.
    If possible, try to get Microsoft WXP CD facilities and try to install Windows XP Home edition.

    Please let us know if the installation completes without any problems.

  • Satellite L750 - if I use the recovery disc HARD Will this work?

    Guy Alrights

    I have a L750 machine that gives me problems at the moment, so I'm going back to Strath, as when I brought brand new... So I wonder if I use HARD drive recovery which will be re install windows and all the drivers and all the pre install software? Or what will be installed?

    Hello

    HARD drive recovery would fix the laptop back to factory settings.
    Recovery of HARD drive installs the image of Toshiba. Toshiba is a package that contains the system Windows, drivers and tools and utilities.

    But I read the other thread you created here, and it seems you did a clean installation
    In this case the HARD disk recovery would not work more :(
