Can I use Product Recovery DVD-ROM from other unit for my Tecra A2?

My Tectra A2 has become so corrupted that I want to put it back to whn it was purchased. I can't find the Product Recovery DVD_ROM that came with it. But I have got the Toshiba A60 Product recovery DVD_ROM.
Are they all the same or do I need the exact DVD_ROM for the TECTRA A2?

Hi
The answer is no. every recovery image is created separately and contains drivers for specific hardware infrastructure. Better way is to use Microsoft installations CD and later install all drivers, tools and utilities alone. All this stuff you can find on Toshiba download page.

Portege M400 Tablet Product Recovery DVD-ROM

Where can I get a set of Product Recovery DVD-ROM discs for my Portege M400 Tablet please?

Hi
Usually you can order the recovery disk using this page:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
But this page provides recovery disk only for the newer notebook series.
Im not quite sure if you will be able to order the recovery disk because of the age of M400
Anyway, the other possibility would be the ASP. You can get in contact with your authorized service partner and could ask for such disk
In worst case you will need to use an own Windows disk and the Toshiba drivers are downloadable from driver page.

Can I use Contribute 6.5 or any other ver for Windows 8 OS?

I can only see Contribute versions for Windows 7?

If you look thru the Contribute forum you might find some helpful info - there is one where someone had some trouble with that getting Contribute CS4 working on Windows 8 but resolved the problem. You could even post your question there to see if a direct answer is provided.

Another thing you might do is download and install the trial and see if it works without issue for you. That should be done anyways to help avoid buying it before finding out it won't work for you.

Can I use a recovery disc of a differnt serial number in my laptop?

I had a issue with the recovery disc which I got from HP, the first disc stops at 24% and further it does nothing. So I have ordered another recovery disc, when I ordered by mistake I have entered my product number correctly but entered serial number (wrong#) 2CXXXXXXRE instead of (correct #) 2CXXXXXXRF and booked the recovery disc. I dont have an option to cancel the order in the site. So can I use this recovery DVD to recover my laptop?
Laptop Model: HP Pavilion dv6
Current OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit + SP1
Recovery OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit + SP1

You will have to contact HP to get an answer on that question.
We are owners of HP printers, PCs and notebooks just like yourself.

Can I swap the CD-RW with a DVD-ROM from older iMac?

I have two slot loading iMacs.
1)iMac DV spec ed. 400 MHz with DVD-ROM from Oct. 1999
2)iMac spec. ed. 700 MHz with CD-RW from summer 2001
Can I put the DVD-ROM from iMac 1 into iMac 2, i.e. take out the CD-RW from the newer iMac and put in the DVD-ROM from the older iMac ? Or is the DVD-drive too old ?
Thanx
Martin

I don't see any reason this wouldn't work, but I'd have to wonder why you'd want to do this. a CD-RW is much more useful, in my personal opinion, than a DVD player on a computer.

Questions about product recovery DVD??

Hi,
after having experienced an unrecoverable boot failure with Windows XP Home Edition on my Equium A60-181 I had no choice but to use the product recovery DVD. I noticed there was something called expert mode I assume this lets you create a custom installation of the factory default. So I'm wondering is it possible to format the harddrive as FAT32 instead of NTFS create a partition for Linux and still use the product recovery DVD?? In case you are wondering I want FAT32 so I can safely read and write my XP partition with Linux since NTFS writing is still experimental at the moment.
Cheers,
Richard S.

Hi
If the second operation system (e.g. Windows 2000, Linux) should be installed, please change the CD-ROM to the "three of three" or "two of two". Please, see the Recovery CD-ROM.
Drive "X" is the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. With the keys "Alt+i" and the up and down cursor keys, it is possible to change the drive letter. Select the "*.GHO" file. (e.g. GAR1ENP2.GHO) and press "Enter". The "Select source partition from image file" appears. For "OK", simple press "Enter".
At the next window, it is possible to choose the Hard Drive Disk (HDD) on which the recovery file should be installed. Normally, only one HDD is in the machine. Just press "Enter". On the next window, it is posible to choose the partition on which the recovery file should be installed. If the HDD has no partition, the Recovery Utility will generate one. The size of this partition can be adjusted. The size field is marked, just insert the desired size in MB.
Mark the destination partition and press "Enter". A question appears: "Proceed with partition load?". Choose "Yes" to start the recovery process.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the Recovery.
Best regards

Using Win7 Recovery DVDs to bring Satellite L850-1C9 to "Out of the Box"?

Hi,
I am trying to use the recovery DVDs for my Satellite L850-1C9, PSKDLE, to return my HD to the original condition.
Even though the hidden partition was there, I always got errors, for instance F3-F200-0002.
But this was not the only one.
I am at present time, wiping the HD to give it the appearance of being a replacement HD, that takes about 5hours.
I am unable to identify any online docs about how to correctly use the DVDs.
Can anyone give me a link as I appear to be using the wrong search argument on my Android Tablet.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Andy

Hi
If you would use the Recovery DVD for system recovering, the hidden partition isnt very important in such case. Why? Because booting from the Recovery DVD would start the recovery process and would format the HDD and delete all partitions.
During this recovery process, the deleted partition would be created again.
The question is now: why does the error message appear?
It could be related to Recovery DVD issue. Did you already recover the notebook using the Recovery disk in the past? If its the first time trying to use these recovery disks then probably the disks have not been created properly.
At the other hand it could be possible that your HDD malfunctions and therefore the recovery process interrupts.
So from my point of few you need to check both cases.

Use Product Recovery Disc on different Thinkpad for virus recovery?

Hi,
Three days of struggling to clean an infected Thinkpad so I am ready for drastic action.
Wife's T60 2007-43U rendered useless by ramnit virus. Long story, but reformat seems like only solution.
Have T60 2008-SAA with as-built installation, and expect I can make Product Recovery discs for that machine.
Also have T60P 2007-8JU working fine, but with no recovery partition or great Thinkpad utilities,Sonic or WinDVD as reformat by previous owner deleted them. All three computers have XP Pro with SP-3.
Questions:
1. Can self-made Product Recovery Disc from one Thinkpad be used to reinstall factory load on these others?
2. If so, should doing that completely clean the disk of existing virus and leave it in "new" condition?
3. Understand 6 CD's make up the factory set of Recovery Discs. The as built load is about 10GB! Is there a list somewhere of what all is included in the Recovery? Before I start making these discs, should I expect a total of 6, more, or fewer?
Thanks!

Returning to give you feedback on the success of this recovery. The T60 went from being a doorstop to fully functional!
Thanks again to ajkula and TuuS for their suggestions. Helped me through a harrowing experience.
I made a full set of Product Recovery Discs, 6 cd's, but did not use them as it would have restored I assume to Windows XP or XP SP2 as originally shipped. The source computer had been upgraded to XP SP3 and was up to date on all Windows Patches. I decided to give it a try with Rescue and Recovery to take advantage of those upgrades. I made a full set of R & R discs and with nothing on the computer other than the original load and Firefox, it took 10 cd's.
On the target computer, the one with the virus damage, I set the bios to start from the CD drive, then, as ajkula suggested, and many other anti-virus sources endorsed, I wiped the disk, and I used dBan for that. Worked well in "short DoD mode" and took about 3 hours on a 60 gb drive. I had never tried that before.
I loaded the R & R start-up disc and from there on all I had to do was insert the next disc when instructed. This took several hours because I was not always paying attention when it called for the next disc. The only confusion was after the start-up disc ran and formated the drive, on the next disc, it warned that it was going to format the drive. I don't know if it did it twice or if the message is just poor communication. It went through to the end, and the result is the previously virus ridden computer is now 'identical" to the source. The hardware is similar but not totally identical . As TuuS suggested, the drivers must have been there as I did not have to add any drivers during this operation or since.

Can I use a recovery disc on a new 120 GB SSD for HP Envy 17 that previously had 2 500GB RAID 0?

I currently have a HP Envy 17-2070NR. I would like to install a new SSD (120 GB) to replace one of the 500 GB HD that are currently in the laptop (the 2 drives are set up RAID 0).
If I install the new drive and remove the two old ones can I use the recovery discs to reinstall windows/drivers/default programs?

The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.

Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

With "license" you mean serial number? If that serial number was for a different Acrobat version (e.g. 9), you cannot use it for the current version XI.
You can however use it to purchase an upgrade from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html

Re: Is it possible to completely recover VistaOS using only Recovery DVD?

Hidden WinRE partition was deleted by mistake but I still got the original Recovery DVD for my A200.
Is it possible to completely recover VistaOS without the WinRE partition, using only Recovery DVD?

Of course.
The Toshiba Recovery CD was designed to recover the notebook.
Using the recovery CD you will get the factory settings.
But note; the Toshiba recovery CD formats the whole HDD and erases the partitions from the HDD.

Satellite P200D-134 - can not use the Toshiba DVD player

I have the Satellite P200D-134 and can not use the Toshiba DVD player.
It displays an error message.
"Required modules missing for this application"
In Vista it worked everything fine.
Now I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate and all Toshiba programs are gone.
And I can not use the Software HD DVD player or other Software from Toshiba.
What should I do?
Does anyone have any advice? Is there any help?
Please write back in German or English.
Thank you!
Rob

Hi
Did you install the VAP (value added package)?
If not do that!!!
Furthermore I recommend installing the DVD Player Update Check Tool which can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
With this tool, you can check your notebook, if your DVD-Player needs a Upgrade and if yes, it gives you the download link for the needed upgrade version.
By the way: If you cannot find the DVD Player for Win 7 in P200D section then you can download this from the P500 section!
