Hi
Im wondering if you take some time to read similar threads here in the forum.
Usually you should be able to recover and to reinstall the notebook using the HDD recovery.
Check this Toshiba document how to proceeds:

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to reformat a Toshiba Satellite A50-112
    Thanks

    Hi Gazza,
    To reformat your notebook you should insert the recovery CD into your optical drive and then reboot the notebook while pressing the 'C' key. This will cause your notebook to boot from the recovery CD which will then start the re-install process.
    Note that this process will completely reformat your notebook and return it to its original condition with the complete loss of any of your own data and non-original programmes. PLease make sure that you have a backup of your own data before you do this.
    regards,

  • How to reformat a Macbook pro 2011 hard drive?

    Hello,
    How do you reformat a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3) 2011s Hard drive? I already backed up all the files I wanted to save. But since I have the new Macbook pro 2011 (only a few months since I got it) it didn't come with an installation disc, but instead already came with all the applications. I'm wondering how to reformat the hard drive so it wipes out everything and I can start fresh and what would happen to all the applications?

    Well Lion has a Lion Recovery Partition on the drive you can access by holding command r and booting, there you can erase the Lion OS X partition completely (all files and programs) and reinstall Lion or simply reinstall Lion if there is a issue with it (no programs or files are touched in this second procedure)
    Lion is downloaded from apple's servers, you need AppleID and a fast reliable internet connection with no bandwidth caps limiting you.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    If you want to replace the drive, there is software called Carbon Copy Cloner than can clone both the Lion OS X Partition and the Lion Recovery Partition to a external drive intact (excpet what's in the Trash, no Filevualt, no bootcamp, use free Winclone for that)
    Hold the option key and you can boot from the external drive and format and clone everything to the new internal drive. TimeMachine of 10.7.2 and later can be booted from it's Lion Recovery Parttion as well just to restore only, cloning is better process because it gives full access to everything like before on the internal drive.

    Some newer Mac's have Lion Internet recovery built in where the firmware will install the Lion Recovery/OS back onto a completely blank/new hard drive.

  • Disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
    There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
    If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
    Buy a new Drive. Or  two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
    If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas.

  • Windows 8.1 default video driver only displays 1024x768 on Satellite A665D-S605​1

    My laptop came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  I upgraded to Windows 8.0 and had driver poblems. The Windows 8 installation was getting a bit buggy after 18-mos so I finally decided to upgrade to 8.1.  I did a format and clean install of 8.0, then updated software before installing 8.1 upgrade. After upgrade Windows 8.1 used a default driver that only displays 1024x768 instead of 1366x768. I tried to install video drivers from AMD website and crashed the new Windows 8.1 installation.  I'm back running 8.0 with no problems. Anyone know where I get the correct driver for my A665D-S6051? This is an AMD Pheonom II Quad Core processor with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series video display.
    Solved!

    Your model is supported by Toshiba for upgrade to Windows 8, but not to Windows 8.1.
       Computers with Windows 7 pre-installed that are supported by Toshiba for update to Windows 8.1
    Windows 8.0 will not be supported by Microsoft after January 12, 2016.
    I would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
    (Some would kill to downgrade to Windows 7!)

    hi im geezar   how to reformat a macbookpro .???? without using a disk.???

    Boot into recovery mode by rebooting and holding the command and r keys down while you reboot. Then use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive. Depending on what you want to do, you may want to do a secure erase that writes zero's to the hard drive.

  • How to reformat a compact flash card

    Hi I'm Russell, my hobby is to occasionally take photos with my Canon 7D. Well last time i took photos what happened was
    when it came down to uploading them to my computer, i transferred them and i think i might of improperly ejected my dolgix
    133x 32GB Compact Flash card. And now i am not able to use it in my camera. It says, No Card or Card Not Found. I was
    wondering if someone knows how to reformat them. If so, Please help.. I can't use my camera until i fix the problem...Thanks
    In advance.

    Some camera manufacturers insist that you format it in the camera; so, if you can format it on the Mac using Disk Utility, I'd suggest inserting it in the camera after that and see if you can format it there. I usually erase mine (also Canon camera) on the Mac, but do occasionally format them in the camera.

  • Anyone know how to reformat a Windows formatted ipod to Mac?

    Just upgraded my PC to a shiny new MAC but can't for the life of me see how to reformat my Ipod to make it work with the new computer!
    All I have suceeded in doing so far is restoring the factory settings and deleting everything that was on my ipod before but it still isn't recognised when I plug it into my Mac! Help!

    "All I have suceeded in doing so far is restoring the factory settings"
    Did you carry out this restore on a PC? To reformat for Mac the iPod has to be restored in iTunes For Mac. Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode, that may help computer recognise it:

    How to defrag & cleanup Satellite C650 with Windows 7?

    Hello,
    Moreover I can suggest you to:
    1) Perform a regular disk error-checking (check this as an instruction http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors)
    2) Perform a virus scanning with an antivirus e.g. Microsoft Security Essentials
    3) Check you computer for performance issues and resolve them (go to Start => type 'Performance Information and Tools' hit Enter, in a new window on the left side click 'Advanced tools' and review the performance issues enlisted (if any).
    Good Luck!
