Can't restore Satellite P505D-S8960

I went to do a restore using toshiba's wizard.... I accidently chose to format the drive only instead of format and restore so I was left with no OS after 2 hours of formatiig and well I cannot get to the recovery wizard because there is no OS and I can't do F8 either to get to it
I am in quite a pickle and I am not sure if I can even get my laptop back to the way it came, any help is VERY appreciated.... I'm not a computer novice but this has me stuck

If all else fails, DVD recovery media can be ordered from Toshiba Customer Service at 800-457-7777. They need your computer's serial number and a credit card number.

  • Satellite L300D-13S - How can i restore with corrupt disk 2

    The laptop is a Satellite L300D-13s.
    I tried to restore the laptop using the restore disks, the first disk worked fine but it did not recognize the second disk. No matter what I did I could not get it to read this disk.
    I then tried to us the F8 option to restore the drive but I got the message Bootmgr missing. I have tried F8 using the DVD but this does not have a restore option.
    Using the boot option with logging I did manage to access the E drive and view the HDDRecovery directory but could not find anything that would allow me to run a restore.
    Is there an option to do a restore this way, or can I restore another way?
    Your help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Hello
    Recovering procedure can be done on two ways:
    -Using recovery CD/DVDs or
    -Starting recovery procedure from HDD
    If there is problem with created discs then you must try to use option two. It works as follow:
    -Start your notebook and press F8 to enter Advanced Boot Options
    -There you will see option Repair my computer
    -Choose this option and follow menu on the screen.
    -Then you will come across System Recovery options
    -The last option is Toshiba recovery procedure. Choose it and follow menu on the screen.
    Please note: this will work if you didnt change partition structure, installed own OS or removed HDDRecovery folder.
    At the end I must say, if nothing helps and if you are not able to install OS using any of these methods I see one solution only: you must order new recovery DVD.

  • Can't restore to factory settings the Satellite L350

    Hi
    there i was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended i tried ubuntu.
    But now i want to go back to vista but i can't seem to get my laptop to run the restore.
    I've tried holding down 0 while powering on also pressing f8 but it still just boots as normal.
    The Toshiba recovery disk creator isn't on my computer either. I don't have any Vista discs, but if i can remember correctly my laptop never came with them, i'm really stuck on what to do.
    Satellite L350

    Hey,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. You wrote that you tried Ubuntu but have you installed Ubuntu and deleted Vista or was it just a Ubuntu live disk?
    The Toshiba HDD recovery function is described here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    But one point more: The HDD recovery works only with preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba so if you have installed another OS or did an upgrade, this option doesnt work anymore.
    And youre right: The notebook doesnt come with Toshiba recovery disk because you have to create this disk yourself using Toshiba recovery media creator that is preinstalled. This tool will create a bootable disk with an image of factory settings that can be restored every time in contrast to HDD recovery that only works with original installed OS.
    To cut a long story short, just order a recovery disk from Toshiba and install it. Then you have factory settings back :)

  • Satellite P505D-s3859 random slow down then crash

    I got the laptop with Windows Vista, had this problem (along with many other Vista related ones), so I formatted and installed Windows 7 with all the drivers hoping to fix it.  Same problem.  Doesn't seem to affect Ubuntu Linux when I dual boot over into that, but my laptop reliably crashes or has to be rebooted at least once or twice a day.
    The problem seems to be random, but let me describe the normal case that I'm in when it occurs.  I will be running Windows 7, multiple browsers, Yammer, Skype, dropbox, winamp and AVG.  The first, most obvious symptom is that any USB pariphials will stop working (I use a usb wireless mouse) and the sound will go into uber-slow motion mode.  At this point, everything on the laptop will be ultra slow to respond, but I can still close my apps down if I do it quickly.  If I'm not using any external usb nor listening to an audio file, and I miss the slow down event, the laptop will eventually crash.  
    When this happens, I ctrl-alt-del and check task manager, but I don't see anything particular using up all the resources.  I've updated everything I could with the windows 7 drivers from the toshiba site, but still have this problem.  It was affecting me with Windows Vista, and this is the second Windows 7 install I've done on this laptop, with the same symptoms.  
    This is the only thing I see in Event Viewer->Windows Logs->System:

    Maybe this one? (It has all the digits.)

    I'm not a hardware guru, but the problem seems consistent with a flaky hard drive. It certainly has nothing to do with software. See what chkdsk c: /r has to say.
    The entry in Event Viewer occurs when the processor is throttled back to save battery charge.

  • Satellite P505D-S8935 Audio sound is distorted with WoW & Flutter

    Since the first day of purchasing this laptop, when playing music, the music is distorted with Wow & Flutter - in that that volume fluctuates up and down, making for a disturbing sound quality. I purchased this laptop with Vista Home Premium and just upgraded to Windows 7 and was hoping the upgrade with solve the issue. No Luck?! Any idea what is wrong? Drivers? Sound Card?
    Please HELP! I like this laptop with the Wide Screen - but, the sound quality is terrible!

    Open Services (services.msc). Verify that the Windows Audio and the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder services are Started. If not, come back here.
    If so, can't hurt to reinstall the driver. Try them both if necessary.

  • How can I restore to the Browser View of Book, several missing photo's?

    Ten photos are missing from the Browser View of the Book. The photos show up in the Photo View and are checked as being used. They also show up in the working screen view of the book. All other photos in the book show up. Why are the 10 missing? How can I restore just those photos and not all photos for that book? What difference would it make in sending that book to the printer?

    Ten photos are missing from the Browser View of the Book. The photos show up in the Photo View and are checked as being used. They also show up in the working screen view of the book.
    I'm not sure of your question
    Are you saying that when you view the thumbnails of the book at the top or the screen that some pages do not show the photos even though they are in the book below?
    If so that is a minor bug in iPhoto '09 - you can ignore it - it is just a display issue -- I forget exactly how but you can force a refresh of the book thumbnails - maybe double clicking on the book page - or maybe on the thumbnail
    But in any case your book is fine (you should preview it before sending - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 )

  • How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

    The hatter wrote:
    Rosetta can have a 2GB RAM "tax" to manage PowerPC code as well as how that affects performance.
    I think real world performance shows both statements to be wrong; consider this:
    If that were the case, how come Apple does not include that information in its Snow Leopard installation requirements, since Rosetta is an optional install?
    Also, running a PowerPC app on an 2011 i7 Mac with Snow Leopard will run faster than running that PowerPC app on a PowerPC Mac.

  • Can not restore data files from backup set

    I am trying to restore Server A's backup data to Server B (they are all oracle11g) using rman. The restore commands is below:
    rman target /;
    shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount;
    restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/ctl_xxx'
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/';
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    For the first time, it works. But when i tried to restore another backup data by the same way:
    rman target /;
    shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount;
    restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/ctl_xxx'
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/';
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    The second time, i found that rman restore the old backup data, which means that it restore the data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/' instead of '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/'.
    So I run 'list backup of database summary' to see the backup set lists in control file.

    But when i run ‘restore database preview summary’ to see the backup set list to restore

    there's no backup set 945 at all. that's why i could not restore data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' at the second time.
    So, why two backup list is different ? how can i restore datafile under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' ?
    My backup script is below:
    run{
    allocate channel c1 type disk;
    backup incremental level 0 as backupset format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/data_%d_c0_%T_%u' database;
    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    backup archivelog from time 'sysdate-14' format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/log_%d_%T_%u';
    backup current controlfile format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/ctl_%d_%T_%I_%u';
    release channel c1;

    My purpose is to use the newest backupset of Server A to update Server B. So if Server A crush, Server B will be useful. Is there any other way to do that ?
    retention policy :'configure retention policy to redundancy 4'
    And Server A do LV0 backup every 7 day, and do LV1 backup ervery other day.

    i backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • After upgrading to 7.6.1, drive letter changed - can't restore

    After upgrading iTunes to version 7.6.1 on my Vista, none of the files could be played, giving me a "file not found". The music is still in the same old folder on my M-drive. Though, in the iTunes library file, the drive somehow was set to F, my DVD-drive.
    I have tried consolidating, set/reset drive in settings, edit the library xml-file, but it still insist that my music is on the DVD. How can I restore the library without having to import all the music again?

    Found the solution. I had to move the library.xml out of the iTunes folder, find and replace all the entries of the wrong drive letter, and the import the XML to iTunes, making it a new library xml file. This makes all the song tagged as imported today, else everything seems to be fine.
