Satellite Pro M30 - how to recover the data?

I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Sat Pro M30 running XP Pro, just after the In Touch with Toshiba screen.
Using the Revovery DVD that came with the computer when purchased and entering advanced mode I'm trying to use check local Image File. It doesn't seem to find any Image file. Is it possible to recover or rebuild image file?
There are some data I would like to recover from the HD so I'm trying to avoid reinstalling the system until I've recovered the files.
Have tried to read from the HD using a cabinette and a new NP running Vista but it didn't work. Is there a general problem reading a XP HD from VISTA?
Any suggestions how to recover the data would be very much appreciated!
Johan

cabinette ? Do you mean "USB Hard Disk Caddy" ?
To recover your data, you can connect the HDD using a USB Adapter to another PC running XP or Vista. The drive should show up as a Drive letter (such as E: Drive), and you will be able to copy the files.
When you say "but it didn't work", what was the problem exactly?

  • HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - How to obtain the factory image without media?

    Hello
    I have been given a Satellite Pro P300 and it has the recovery disc for win xp, I would like to go back to the pre installed Vista intallation if possible.
    The recover partition on the hard drive isnt available so i assume it cant be recovered. Is it possible to purchase a factory image?

    Liam is right Win 7 is better than Vista OS.
    So if you have a possibility to install Win 7 I recommend doing this instead of Vista.
    However, the Toshiba recovery disk contain just Vista OS.

  • Satellite Pro 2100; How to recover additional software without recovery CD?

    How can I recover the bundled WinDVD and Drag'n Drop CD software for my Satellite Pro 2100 without the recovery disk?
    Message was edited by: yirms

    This is not possible because this additional software is not available on the Toshiba download page why?
    Because this is not a Toshiba software but software from 3rd party manufacturers.
    This software is bundled with Recovery disk and can be used only with your notebook!
    I think this has something to do with the licence issues

  • Satellite Pro A120: How to remove the CD/DVD drive

    I have 2 main problems and can't seems to fully open case.
    Does anyone know how to remove the dvd-rom?
    But my mainproblem is the power swith ribbon (blue) has come loose from the motherboard. But as i can't fully open the case im using tweezers to try to recconect it.
    Doesn't seem to want to go in.
    Is there a clip on the motherboard connector or is it just push in? A photo or diagram would be useful.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    One question; why do you do this?
    I mean why your want to open the notebook?
    Fact is that the Pro A120 Satellite is not a old notebook and I presume the warranty is valid.
    If you remove the notebook covers you will lose the warranty!!!
    The CD/DVD removing is very easy.
    Usually it is secured with one screw which can be found at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove it firstly and then it should be able to take off the ODD.

  • Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
    Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
    Thanks

    Hi
    This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
    Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
    Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
    Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
    Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
    Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

  • Satellite Pro M40 - How to wipe the system to new

    I am having a lot of trouble with my Satellite Pro M40.
    When wanting to click in to the various files an error message comes up and asks me to send an error report. I think i may need to wipe the system to new. Does anyone know how to do this? I dont have the disks that I orgianlly got with the laptop to do this.
    Thanks :D

    As you know to open various files you need to use various software. So it will be interesting to know which kind of files you try to open. If you know exactly which software can not be started I recommend you to reinstall it in hope it will work again.
    Please think about it at first. If you still want to make clean operating system installation please write again. We will find a way to help you. ;)

How can we retrive the data through these  files? Please let me know.

    Hi Olivier ,
    Thanks for your response.
    We are not reloading the data, we have restored the archives files to our storage and after that when try to access the stored files we are getting the error the files are not accessible.
    Archive files are perfectly restored in the archive directory and also directories has all the necessary permissions .

  • Satellite Pro L20: How to intsall the Office applications from recovery CD?

    I have just received my new laptop and I am supposed to have XP Pro when all is on my laptop is Microsoft Note.
    It does state that XP Pro is loaded but I cannot find outlook, word, p/point, excel etc all the applications that come with XPpro.
    Can anyone tell me how I load them on from my laptop? The only disk i received from Tosh is a recovery disk which does not have any mention of XP or XP pro only MS OneNote
    HELP would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    PT

    Hello
    The applications that you want to have are definitely not a part of WXP operating system. They are part of Microsoft OFFICE application package. It must be separately installed and it is not a part of Toshiba software.
    Please clarify this with your local dealer.
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro 4290: How to solve the IDE #1 error issue

    I have recently aquired a DVD-ROM drive to upgrade my Sat Pro 4290 optical drive from a CD-ROM to DVD-ROM. As suspected I am having the problem that the drive is not recognised and get the IDE #1 error.
    I can get windows XP to recognise the drive by deleting the Secondary IDE Channel in the Hardware and then searching for new new hardware. It then installs the IDE Channel and then finds and installs the DVD-ROM and works fine. I reboot the laptop and back to square one!
    I understand it is something to do with the settings on the motherboard and somebody has resolved this by soldering pins to different places on theh IDE connectors.
    I do not want to risk this and was wondering if anybody found an easier way of doing this?
    Many Thanks

    Hi
    > I understand it is something to do with the settings on the motherboard and somebody has resolved this by soldering pins to different places on the IDE connectors.
    Thats not 100% true. This is not a setting issue on the motherboard but the setting of the CD/DVD drive.
    The drive supports different master\slave\c-sel settings and if they are not compatible the BIOS will not recognize the drive correctly.
    On the external drives (for desktop PC) its possible to change such settings by switching the jumper but this is not possible to the slim notebooks drives.
    The notebook drives settings are stored in the firmware!!
    I found different not legal tools which can change the master/slave/c-sel settings but I would not recommend using it.
    The risks are too high that the drive will be damage.
    So try to replace the drive with a compatible one

  • Satellite Pro A210 - How to recover it with misplaced recovery disk`?

    I have been having some problems with my Satellitte Pro A210, (AMD Athlon 64 x2, Vista, 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM), and it seems that I have made recovery discs when new and have misplaced them.
    What can I do?

    What you can do? Good question.
    If you don't have original Toshiba installations disc you have two options either order new one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or use Microsoft installations disc. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support and download page.
    By the way: if you got notebook with recovery image saved on HDD you can try to install OS using F8 and Repair my computer option. More about that you can read under

  • How to recover the autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup?

    How to recover the Safari 5.1.7 autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    To solve other issues (Safari crashing sometimes when saving web pages), I selected:
    Safari - Empty Cache
    Safari - Reset Safari - Selected ALL - Reset
    I could later on recover some Safari autofill data restoring
    HD/Users/~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    HD/Users/~/Library/Safari/Form Values
    HD/Users/~/Library/Safari/History.plist
    but other autocomplete data is missing, including the one when filling web form search fields in web pages, for instance, and also some username and password login data on some web sites.

    I also recovered:

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.
