Cannot recover the notebook using the Recovery disk

Hello.
I was wanting to restart my Toshiba Laptop, and I inserted the 'Recovery' CD, and pressed F8 and went to the help menu, and when the list came up I clicked on the one that said about restarting my PC and losing all data, and then I clicked on 'Restart' and the computer restarted and the disc was in but it just came back on as normal.
What do I need to do? I tried all the other options and they all worked as normal.
What do I need to do? Do I have to press something else?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
~Confused~

To be honest after reading your posting I am more confused then you.
Can you please tell us which notebook do you have?
F8 and disc inside the optical disc drive. Sorry but something is wrong there.
Either you can install Vista again using image saved on HDD (F8 option Repair my computer) or use Toshiba recovery installations media. There is no sense to use both at the same time.
Please more info needed.

Cannot recover Windows 8.1 from recovery disks

Hi
I have a Windows 8.1 laptop (recovery disks are for Windows 8, see product details in image 1).
My laptop mouse left click suddenly started acting as right click, the computer froze and started making a noise, and when I restarted it using the power button it got stuck in the automatic repair loop. I tried all the options F8, F9, F10 and nothing worked. Then I did a disk check by pressing F2 and it failed (see image 2).
Following that I used my recovery disks and I got the message - destination drive not connected (see image 3).
Is my hard disk corrupted and need to be replaced? I am in UK but I bought the laptop in India.
Also, if I am able to use the recovery disks, I'll get W8 and not W8.1, which is what I had. How can I recover to W8.1 directly?
Thanks

Short DST:Fail > means the hard drive has failed and will have to be replaced. You can use your Recovery Discs on a new hdd. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as original.
If the laptop shipped with Windows 8 there is no way to directly recover to Windows 8.1.

Recovery Partition – Recreate Without Reinstalling
Recovery Partition – Recreate Without Reinstalling (Requires Installer)

I have to use a recovery disk to fix my computer. Where does FF keep the login and passwords I use on a daily basis. I want to download and save them for reinstallation?

I am about to use a recovery disk to reset my computer to it's original factory settings and operating system. I want to download and save all of my Firefox bookmarks, website logins & passwords for the websites.
How can I do this and where is all the above located on my computer. I would like to copy them and then reinstall after the recovery disk operation is completed.

Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

How to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IN MAC MINI

how to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IF MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOEST NOT WORK DURING BOOTING ?

Hello:
If my memory serves me correctly, the licence agreement that comes with a new system indicates that is good for one system....
Also, I do not think that something that would boot one type of processor would work on a different type.

Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. How do I enable this?

I am trying to make edits to a website for our company. Currently, I cannot copy and paste using the icons in the toolbar. Instead, I have to use control+c and control+v which doesn't always work. How do I enable the feature to be able to use the icons?

Are those toolbar buttons grayed?
Do the entries in the Edit menu look enabled if there is text selected or text on the clipboard?

Cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option iOS 5.0.1 in ' Photos ' app.

Since i have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 i cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option in the ' Photos ' app.
i browse my photos and then select ' Message ' on a photo. i am then able to attach the first image to the message.
When i then select the Camera icon on the created message to add another image , either ' Choose existing ' or ' Take Photo or Video ' , it does nothing and takes you back to your existing message.
I am able to attach multiple images when accessing the iMessage app it is just from the Photos app it is occuring

Cannot create a server using the selected type

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate tomcat 6.0 with Eclipse. But when I try to add Tomcatv6.0 Server,
it is sowing an error message " Cannot create a server using the selected type ".
Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks in advance

In order to solve the problem you need to
* close eclipse
* go to ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
* remove the files org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs and org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
* solve the problem with the permissions of the policy files or the personal instance of tomcat6
* start eclipse
In order to be able to use the tomcat6 server the proper solution is to have a personal instance of the tomcat6 server as described in the section "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" of the file RUNNING.txt (and the problems that have been reported about this ;-) )
My configuration: Debian/Sid, Eclipse 3.4.1. Ganymede

Hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk

hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
The destination drive is not connected

Hello Mohammadshamlou. I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc. It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected. Is this correct? How long have you had the notebook?
What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive. So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order. Follow these steps and please post the result.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Restore from Ubuntu using Lenovo Recovery Disk

Hi,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R500 2713-AA5 and I want to install Ubuntu but I don't want to lose the option to recover the system using the Lenovo Recovery disk.
Is possible to do it?

You've been around almost as long as I have.
Almost? Where were you in 1956 when we (IBM) released the first hard drive? Picture attached.
Good luck and Happy New Year!

Can I use a SD Card rather than a USB stick when using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

I'm using a MB Pro 2010, can I use a SD Card in the SD Card slot rather than a USB stick when using Lion Recovery Disk Assistant. I would like to use the 16GB chip with a single 1GB partition so I can dump a bunch of other backup stuff into the same chipper.

Yes, you could certainly do that, provided you have a card reader or an SD card slot available on both Macs and what you are copying is smaller than the capacity of your SD card.
But that's an awfully slow way to transfer GB's of files. 32GB SD cards cost anywhere from about $20 to $90 and of course the cheaper cards will be the slowest cards. Also need to consider that your iPhoto, iTunes and especially iMovie libraries may be larger than your SD card's capacity, and there is no easy way to 'split' them to save partial libraries and reassemble them on your new Mac.
A better solution is an external hard drive connected via FW or USB2. Much faster and without the capacity limit of an SD card. For example, you could get a 500GB OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini drive (5400 rpm) for $115 and after you are done using it for file transfer it would be a nice backup drive. Or build your own with an OWC mini case and a 500GB WD Scorpio 7200 rpm drive for about $120. Both support eSATA, FW400/800 and USB2.
Or you could just network the two Macs together and use the Finder to transfer files that way. Cheap, fast, and it works.
