Broken HDD - How to recover my s10-2?

Hello!!
I have a problem with my ideapad s10-2. The HDD left this world and along with it the recovery partition.
I have another hard disc, but I can't find a suitable version of Windows XP that work with my registration key.
Is there a way to solve this, other than buying a new copy of Windows???

You sure your old drive is properly dead? sometimes if it's the controller that's gone you can use the drive in a caddy or as a slave in another machine. There are other tricks that have been said to work too, like freezing the drive, tapping it... even if it only works for a short while you could copy the contents.

Broken HDD, how to recover my windows 8?

Hi all. I have problem with my Toshiba C875-s7304.
The HDD on it was broken and couldn't be repaired. I bought and installed new HDD. But now i don't have windows 8 , that was on old one and was registered. There was no dvd with windows installer with laptop, all media was on HDD. Is there any way to restore my oficially registered windows 8, because i paid for it? I can't contact the support as i live outside US.

Restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled.
If no recovery discs were created, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here. If they won't ship to you, have an acquaintance in the US order it and forward to you.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.

Then upgrade to Windows 8.1 following these instructions.

How to recover a TM backup from a NAS drive

I am using a MBPro from 2011. I lost a lot of family pictures due to my iPhoto library loosing the connection to the original hi-res files. At the moment I try to recover those with Data Rescue4 but it looks I lost quite a lot.
Now, I do have the following situation:
Until March 2014 my iPhoto Library resided on my Mac HDD
The HDD broke and had to be exchanged
So I moved the iPhoto Library onto a newly bought 2TB external HDD that I connect via USB (a WD MyPassport Ultra)
Now due to the situation described above, I need to recover the last iPhoto Library that resided on my Mac, but which was never used in iPhoto since the hardware crash
When I open iPhoto and then TimeMachine, it does not offer me to recover pictures from that last backup, which is from March 2014 and is about 135GB large. I assume the reason is that I haven´t used it in iPhoto, so iPhoto can´t know.
The TM backup on my NAS, a 4TB Seagate Central is 1,2 TB large. The seagate central cannot be connected to a Mac via USB or wire. According to it´s description, the only way to get data on and off is via ethernet. Having read that TM does not support backing up from a NAS, I assume I need to copy the 1,2 TB backup TM file onto another external HDD that I can attach via USB. Is this correct ? Does this help ?
And then I would need to recover it - but how given the situation above ??
I am pretty desperate meanwhile as I´ve been working on this for the last four weekends...
Within the process of data recovery I bought iPhoto Library Manager, PhotoSweeper and DataRescue4 in order to help recover the data. But I don´t know if this helps here. I´ve tried everything to recover my old files with those tools already.
I would very much appreciate your advice on how to recover my TM backup.

You can or should be able to recover the iphoto library directly from the NAS.. you do not need to copy it to a disk.
TM cannot create a backup from a network source.. but it is very happy using a network target.
Our friend Pondini wrote extensive notes on recovery of various important files using TM
See Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
There is a link in there to recovery of iphoto in particular under various OS.. but the guy died before Yosemite was inflicted on the Apple Community.
TM has never worked particularly well since Yosemite.. so I can only offer my hope that the method still works..
Here is an example of recovery manually of iphoto library from TM backup I did to show how it is done.
Can't access old files on time capsule
In Yosemite you might be able to simply right click on the file in Finder.. and it bring up an option to recover it from TM.. of course that would assume TM was going to actually work and that is a bridge too far for Yosemite.
In the end.. you can of course do a full recovery to a USB drive plugged into your computer.. I have also used that method to get around issues with finding stuff from old backup.. however IMHO the manual method of digging through the backup offers you the best chance of recovery.
Do protect the TM sparsebundle.. in the end that is the only connection back to you files you have.. so saving a copy of the sparsebundle to a USB drive is not a bad idea.. Certainly do nothing in terms of manipulating the sparsebundle.. you can extract files from it.. copy it to another location.. but make no changes to original sparsebundle on the network drive whatsoever.. so do not continue backups to it or anything like that.
My strong recommendation btw since Yosemite or even Mavericks was to use Carbon Copy Cloner.. and make a bootable backup of your main operating system and any other drives.. You would not be in this mess if you had .. so for future reference.. TM is not really adequate.

How to recover windows from 2nd partition

I have a problem, recovery process crashed almost at the end and when i restart computer i cannot get to the windows (missing files).

You should order the recovery discs from Toshiba.
Toshiba Europe Backup Media Online Shop
After you have restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents, you should have the recovery utilities and partitions. See the A350 User's Manual (attached) for how to recover after that.

My old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto my new computer

my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

How to recover the notebook?

Hi guys,
Ok so I've got a really bad virus on my computer, which my Norton software is not picking up.
Somebody told me I could reboot my computer to get rid of the virus but my files will be lost.
I think the process is called recovery as it recovers the manufacturer's original settings.
As you may have already guessed by my lack of knowledge when it comes to computer terms, I haven't a clue how to do this.
Please can someone help!
Thanks for your time!

Hi
Why you dont read some threads here in the forum if you have no clue how the recover works?
There are a lot of threads about this theme!
By the way; new Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with recover disks.
You have to create one using Toshiba recover disk creator or you could use the Toshiba HDD recovery!
PS: user manual contains also some details about recovery process!

Photos and videos in the camera roll are included in your iCloud backup. Restoring the backup to your new phone will recover them.

How to recover music lost

i need to recover music i lost on my broken ipod

Hi, alejandrofromdallas
All music on your iPod should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Your iTunes library should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Data recovery is the only thing you need to do.
If no longer in your iTunes library, if imported from a music CD then get the music CDs back out to be re-imported by iTunes. If purchased from the iTunes store and no longer in your iTunes library and not included with your computer's backup, the music is lost and must be re-purchased with iTunes on your computer.
Try to find out how to recover music from iPod. That's not complicated.

How to recover Bios on Satellite A300

How to recover bios on satellite A300 laptop?

> Somebody told me that the bios must have infected and asked me to rewright the bios.
So this someone hasn't got much savvy.
Sorry mate but this issue has nothing to do with BIOS. BIOS is saved on the ROM module the virus cannot affect the ROM module since it needs to be flashed and I dont think that this a case on your notebook.
You just deleted something in registry?? Im afraid this is not enough to get rid of a virus
The best solution is to format the HDD and to reinstall the system once again
Use the recovery disk because the recover would delete all partitions and would reinstall the system, drivers and tools again

Sat M70: How to recover function of Express-Media-Player?

I have M70 but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, could you tell me how to recover function of Express-Media-Player? there is not setup.exe file in the Express-Media-Player recovery CD/
Thanks

Hello Weimin
In order to use the Express Media functions the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD must be run before performing the Product Recovery from the Recovery DVD-ROM.
You cannot run Express Media player after performing a recovery.
On the HDD should at least 150 - 200MB free space be available.
This free space should be on the end of the HDD and it must be unallocated.
To start the installation you have to boot from the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD
Bye

Hello
As far as I know your notebook was delivered with HDD recovery image. That means it is saved on second HDD partition. If you want to have original state again (factory state), install OS again using HDD recovery procedure. How to do this you can read in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
In the whole story I see one problem. Notebook is delivered with HDD recovery and I believe it was Win7 64bit only. When one other OS version is installed you will lose HDD recovery option and OS can be installed with recovery DVD only.
So my questions to you:
Can you start HDD recovery procedure as described in Toshiba document?
Have you created recovery DVD following instruction described in users manuals?

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?
