Does Recovery disk contains everything what is needed

Im wanted to fix my mates laptop for him. He has the recovery disc but I want to make sure that along with windows the system drivers are also on the disc.
I ask this because I have made the mistake before of reinstalling windows and then finding out I needed the system drivers! So could someone just guarantee me that if I wipe the hard drive the "TOSHIBA Product Recovery" disc has EVERYTHING I need!
Please get back to me asap!

I dont know what you need for which purposes you need your notebook but Toshiba recovery image contains everything for well working hardware. The recovery image contains:
- Operating system
- All necessary drivers
- Different Toshiba tools and utilities to make better and much simpler control over different notebook functions
- Additional software like DVD player, Acrobat reader, Norton AntiVirus and so on
With short words yes it contains everything you need for start. Later you can install some specific software for your private work or business purposes.

  • Satellite U200-115: Does Recovery Disk contains WinXP

    Does the above disk also contain (XP) the windows operating software? or should I be making another back up disk?

    Hi
    Generally the Toshiba recovery disk contains an operating system, Toshiba drivers, utilities and additional software like WinDVD for example.
    If your notebook was delivered with Windows XP then the recovery CD will contain the Windows XP.
    If the notebook was delivered with Vista then the Vista OS was placed on the recovery CD!
    I hope everything is clear now!

  • Satellite L505-141 - Recovery disk contains Windows 7 32bit

    Hello,
    I bought my computer last year around March. The operation system I got with the laptop was Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Lately I'm thinking of format my laptop by using the Recovery CD that I receviced with the laptop. I dont know why but the recovery CD has Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit! Why its 32bit and not 64bit?
    The laptop comes with 6GB Ram and Core i5 and I wont benefit my laptop with 32bit Operation System. Is this normal? I was suppose to get the 32bit operation system (really wired if u guys make a laptop with 6gb memory)! This really makes me feel angry. I feel like I was tricked.
    If ts the company that I bought the laptop from and not Toshiba's fault I demand and investigation or something like that since they really make a bad name for u guys.
    Please answer me as soon as possible.
    tnx,
    Andrei Braunstein.

    Hello
    Before you wrote such stuff that is not correct please check the specifications on Toshiba website first and have a look in your *user manual* !
    The notebook was delivered with a recovery disk that is Windows 7 32bit so everything is ok with this disk and you got the correct one.
    The interesting point is that the recovery disk for Windows 7 64bit you have to create yourself as mentioned in *user manual* ! You can create this disk using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. You need some blank DVDs to create the disks and thats all. After doing this you can restore the preinstalled Windows 7 64bit everytime when you want.
    Now its too late for doing this but you can order a recovery disk here:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    I can understand you that it would be better using 64bit Windows on a notebook with 6GB RAM but dont forget some older applications dont run on 64bit and require 32bit. Furthermore Im wondering that you dont saw a message that reminds you to create the recovery disk. This message you get after the first start of your computer:
    +Important INFORMATION+

  • System recovery: how to install what I need only?

    Recently I had to restore the system from hidden recovery partition, and of course, I got a lot of garbage which I don't need (fingerprint and face recognition for example). Is there a way to instal a "clear system"? I mean a Windows and drivers only. 
    Thank you

    The easiest way is to recover using the recovery partition or recovery media then remove the things you don't want or need. If you take off something needed to run properly you can use the system restore feature in Windows or fully recover again until you get the laptop as clean as you want it.
    If you want to do a clean install of Windows 7 make sure you can read the Microsoft number on the tag from the bottom of the laptop, you will have to use the same version as the one listed. Your spec sheet shows Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit Spk 1. Use others if you have a valid key and disc to do so.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    First - Burn recovery media before you make any changes! -you may want or need to go back later.
    Insert your windows 7 disc and select custom install, your partitions should show up - click on each one and below you will see advanced drive options, click that and you will have options to format - format each one, then delete each one. You will be left with one raw partition, select to install and windows will do the rest while installing the operating system.
    Install drivers - Drivers will have to installed one at a time and can be found on your support page, select Windows 7 64 bit.
    Installation order is important:
    Install chipset driver then video driver before other drivers. Then install Toshiba Value added package before other applications.

  • Recovery disk has photos on them, how can I recover them?

    Hello,
    A friend of mine had a toshiba laptop (I believe it was a satelite series) and she had a friend of thiers create 2 recovery disks. She is telling me that the photos are saved on the disks, and when I explore the disks there are a bunch of files and folders. The biggest are in a folder called ZZimages. In ZZimages\ZZimages\ there are a bunch of files called PREINST.SWM, PREINST2.SWM.. all the way to 9. Are her photos on these recovery disks, or are these just to recover a toshiba laptop? Is there any way to open the files and recover photos?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The recovery discs contain only what's needed to return the laptop to factory settings. None of her data is on the discs unfortunately.

  • 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.

  • Equium A210-1C4: Winload.exe problem after using product recovery disk

    Hi There
    I Could really do with some help here. I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 Laptop. Partitioned drive with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.
    Last night I used the product recovery disk supllied with the laptop to try and restore it back to its factory settings.
    and the end of the process I'm left with a cmd prompt box with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
    Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 from ODD to C:\!
    Press any key to continue. That box dissappears then another one with Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
    waiting for ODD to become available...
    ODD Drive F: ready.
    check for medium in drive F:...
    Failed to initialise the raid class.
    No RAID - continue normally...
    X:\windows\system32>
    Now whenever the laptop tries to restart it just comes up with the error message:
    WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
    CAUSE
    FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE
    STATUS: 0XC000000E
    INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
    IS MISSING OR CORRUPT
    Below I then have the option to esc or continue both with the same outcome of system trying to restart.
    The recovery disk has no repair option on it.
    please help, I haven't a clue.
    thanks

    Hi
    It looks like something went wrong during the Recovery procedure.
    Did you try to recover the notebook once again?
    If not you should definitely try this!
    You are right; the recovery disk hasnt a option for repair because the recovery disk is not the same like a MS Vista disk. The Recovery disk contains the image files (its a package) and the files contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
    Therefore if something went wring during the recovery procedure, you will be not able to repair the OS installation but you have to run it again.

  • Recovery disk enough?

    I will be replacing the hard drive of my Satellite L305D-S5928 and a question came up. Since the new hard drive comes blank will the recovery CD be enough to get the laptop functional or is there some other software that should be installed and if so, where would I be able to purchase the software?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     Replace the hard drive and run the recovery disks, that's all you need to do. I have replaced hard drives a couple of times.

  • What does the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

    Hello guys
    I had a few questions about the recovery CD:
    1- What does the recovery CD contain? and the other CD which is called Media something?
    2- Does it have Windows in it? So I can format my PC using it? And from where can i find the product key (windows key)
    3- What if i wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc. installing the softwares?
    Sorry for asking too much but my laptop started disturbing me. Just for knowledge my Laptop is satellite A100-847

    Hello
    I will try to answer your question.
    1 Recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media something is not known to me. Maybe exact description can help.
    2 Yes it has Windows OS. Yes you can format your notebook using it. You do not need product key. Just install it.
    3 I do not know what you mean. The fact is that HDD will be formatted before you start recovery installation. Be sure all your important data are saved on some external device.
    Bye

  • Im installing and it tells me it make a recovery disk?  What does this mean?

    I'm installing the new mountain lion and it say that it needs a recovery disk? I don't know exactly what it is asking? Please help!

    Unlike OS X versions prior to Lion, Mountain Lion does not come with an install disk, and the installer will delete itself from your hard drive after you install ML, so you'll be left with no handy way to recover your drive in case of a problem (especially a problem during or right after install). Read the following MacWorld Articles to learn all about Recovery and creating a Recovery Disk:
    <http://www.macworld.com/search?q=install+from+recovery+partition>
    I actually needed the one I made this time right after installing ML--my Disk required some repairs--and I was really glad I had it!
    Good Luck!
