Downloading the recovery disk creator

Laptop hard drive died, well the first two partitions are corrupted, tons of bad sectors. I was able to backup the recovery partition which I wanted to copy to the replacement drive. How can I create recovery disks now with just the recovery partition? Is there a place to download the disk creator?

Recovery disks will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents shown in the spec above.

Satellite A60-218 - Where to download the recovery disk?

I have a Toshiba Satellite S60. It is a job computer and it is actually not mine but as I work with and I want it to be faster.
Someone on the past formated it with a F@kE Windows XP installation disk and all the drivers got lost. Not just the wireless card but also sound and graphics card.
I found after a lot of searching the sound driver. The main problem is that it is not genuine cpoy of windows and it is very slow because of trojan, etc.
I beleive the fastest way to fix it is to recover the factory settings (all CDs are lost). Only I could not find in the website the S60 satellite. Is there a recovery iso image to download?
Can anyone help me? I am really desperate...

Hi
Im not sure if you would be able to order the Recovery disk for this Sat A60 notebook.
Its a older series and I believe that the Recovery disk are not more available for this model. But of course you should get in contact with the local ASP to get more details
Maybe they have some disk on stock.
However, the WIN XP drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
Because the A60 is an older notebook, the drivers have been moved to the Archive area!
Check archive and you would find all XP drivers.
PS: You should use a original Win XP disk ;) the copy are not legal and you could not run any necessary updates which are really important to get rid of the Win XP bugs.
Cheers

NB100 - Where can I download the recovery disk?

Where can i download RECOVERY DISK FOR A nb100?

Hello
The recovery disk cant be downloaded!!!
If you want a new recovery disk you should order a new one from Toshiba directly. If you check the user manual, you can find the direct link to the shop.
Anyway, here you can order it: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/

Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

Hi everybody!
Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
Can anyone help?

Hello
F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
"Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Re: Can I download the recovery disk for my Equium?

Hi!
I got a virus though MSN on my computer and it slowed my computer so I downloaded the free version of avg and done a fast scan to clear the virus out.
Then once it had finished it asked me to restart my computer so I did but now everytime I log on ot logs me straight back out instantly.
I have miss placed my rocovery CD's.
I was wondering if I could download them and burn them onto a disk from my other pc?

I agree with the Raver.
Newer notebooks have been equipped with the HDD recovery feature
This allows you to recover the notebook without the usage of Recovery disk.
I dont now if your notebook has been equipped with such HDD recovery or not but you check it pressing the F8 button immediately after notebook powering up.
Then you a new menu should appear and here you have to choose the first option called Repair my Computer.
If this HDD recovery procedure would functions then you would not need to order new recovery disk.

Contact Toshiba as shown in this post. Tell them that the Recovery Disk Creator was unable to create the last disk. They should provide you with replacement disks at no charge in this case.

HDD recovery issues and recovery disk creator issues

Hello there,
I have been trying for the life of me to use the HDD on my Satellite A205-S5804 lap top.It came preinstalled with vista
To no avail once selected it just starts the pc and never goes to the options. I have also tried to download the software needed to create my own and restore my pc to factory. Am I only left to purchase the recovery disks needed to restore my pc to factory condition.
I have also tried running as admin to make these changes and it keeps telling me to enter admin password that I never created.
Is there a download available to restore the HDD function or to complete the download so I can use the Hard drive recovery disk creator..
Help please.
Mary

Ohh, Im sorry miss..I do apologize..
So, you're saying that you were able to do the recovery without the discs before??
Did you do the recovery or did you do a system restore??
If you really did the recovery and it is not allowing you to continue, try doing this one..
Turn OFF the laptop, unplug the charger then remove the battery.
Put them back together..
Turn ON the laptop, just as you press the power button, start tapping F2 keeps on tapping it until you see the BIOS set up utility screen. Hit F9 to load the BIOS to its default then choose yes. Hit F10 to save and exit then choose yes.
Wait for the laptop to boot then try doing the recovery again if it will not boot up.
If the recovery will not work, possible problem with the HDD since the recovery partition is saved on the HDD.

Vista has left the building...and the Recovery Disks do not work correctly.

I've spent over a month and a half trying to fix my non-booting Satellite A215-S5818 running Vista. Sometime mid-March (ah, the Ides of March!) I think I downloaded an automatic update and I remember the next time it booted my desktop was black; icons but no background picture. Then I noticed on the bottom right it was saying my copy of Vista was not genuine. I know that it is, because it is pre-installed. So I ran check disk from the Properties page of C: in Windows Explorer. After it ran, I got BSOD. At first I just booted into SafeMode and tried to disable whatever hardware/uninstall whatever software was causing the problem. I think I got it to boot in SafeMode once or twice, then no more. For a while I kept getting IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL, but I somehow stopped that through the command prompt(forum advice?). Startup Repair could not fix it, System Restore would not work on ANY restore points, even before March. The new BSOD error was:
"STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}-
The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc0000221 0x00100594)"
From then on I could only get a command prompt through the Repair Console. So I xcopy-ed my Users directory to an external hard drive and grudgingly booted from the Toshiba CD, knowing it would obliterate everything, but I was desperate. I got the 03-EEEE-0000 error. Now I have a plethora of useless(?) CDs and DVDs I have burned ISO images on of any Freeware I thought could fix it, downloaded from the Internet using my husband's Windows 7 desktop computer. I followed these instructions to the letter and it worked (I guess; it started immediately, no DOS objection), but when it rebooted I got a window (!) saying something about the type of hardware. I haven't added or changed any hardware, but I have updated the BIOS recently. So I clicked OK (no other choice), and now every boot up I get a window saying "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation". Startup Repair does not find any problems. Could it be the BIOS? I have re-flashed it twice, no difference.

Oops! Sorry that was stupid on my part.
From the command prompt you could type in systeminfo , and hit the 'Enter' key, it will take a little while to run, when it finishes, scroll back up to the top and you'll see OS Version and Service Pack you've got loaded. But, if you're booting off the recovery disk, that's the system info you'll get.
If you can't get to the command prompt from the Advanced Boot Options menu, by trying to boot off the hard drive, and pressing F8, I'm not sure how you can find what Service Pack you have loaded.
By using the Recovery Boot Disk, have you exhausted all the recovery options that Jerry linked before?

Recovery disk Creator & data partition won't work - Satellite L300

My niece asked me to re-install her Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop, because the windows installation is rather buggy. She didn't have a recovery disk. Using Toshiba's Recovery Disk Creator I tried creating a recovery disk.
However, the program wouldn't start. Checking the directory of the program, it would seem that the program simply isn't there. Afterwards, I checked the data partition of the laptop.
There was a map with HDD recovery. However when using Windows' advanced boot (F8 before Windows startup) there was no choice of repairing the notebook. They only choices were the standard windows options (Save mode, normal start, etc.).
In short, it seems impossible to re-install the notebook with the current information at hand.
What would be the next course of action? Is it possible to order a recovery CD from Toshiba?
Another niece has the same notebook, would it be possible to use that notebook to create a recovery disk?
I'll appreciate and look forward to your reactions.

Hi
It looks like something has been changed on the HDD
However, fact is youve no Recovery disk and you cannot use HDD recovery option.
This means you need to order a new Recovery disk from Toshiba.

PS: one tip if you would use a search option of this forum, you would find the right answer too ;)

Recovery Disk Creator (Express Media Player)

Hello,
This is my first visit to these forums. I bought my Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 laptop back in November 2006 from CompUSA. Recently, I had to take my laptop to a local repair shop because I updated McAfee and the desktop froze- this is just some previous info, this problem is fixed. They just backed up my data, then reinstalled the operating system.
I'm trying to create a recovery disk using the pre-install software that came with the laptop. It is called "Recovery Disk Creator (Express Media Player)". I used this in the past many times before I had the problem explained above, but this is the first time I am using it since I pick my laptop up from the repair shop. I get the following error message when I double click on the shortcut icon on the desktop: "Recovery Disc Creator- No compatible Recordable or Rewritable devices could be found on your system." Also, when I use Nero 9 Nero Express I just get failed attempts and the DVD/CD ejects. Both of these worked fine before.
My specs:
Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284
Intel Centrino Duo T 2050 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM
Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (both worked before with SP2)
Thank you

If you have used this in the past to create the disks just use one of the previous disks to restore the system. The disk you made previously would be exactly the same as you would create now.

Equium A210 171 What info do i need before i use the recovery disk?

Hi,
I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, haven't used it before.
On the back of the recovery disk envelope it says "insert the first disk"
I'm assuming there should be a second?
Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
All i have is a black and white sticker that's on the side of the box it came in, but that was so long ago.
I'm having lots of issues with windows installer not running and many others,
Windows updates won't work either and i've tried to fix those but a clean reinstall of the os was recommended.
Now at this point nothing will install because windows installer won't work.
So i think i wil lhave to attempt a clean install, but i'm not even sure the cd drive will work.
I have gotten a great run out of this laptop, bit slow for my needs today but over all great product, bought in 2007.
With a clean os and 4 gigs of ram this thing could last for years more, can't afford a new one right now.
I have really tried to avoid using a recovery disk in the past, as i've never had any serious issues till now.
Thanks

Im wondering why you get such disk together with your notebook why? Because I did not get the recovery disk but I had to create one using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator software
But my notebook is newer than your A210 this might be the reason why you got such disk
I created a recovery disk and I needed two DVD disks I think these depends on the image file size
> Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
This is not needed because your system was already activated.
But I recommend to backup your personal data because the recovery disk would format the whole HDD and you would lose the files.
PS: recommend reading the other threads in the Product recovery forum!

I'm trying to install a new hard drive on my Touchsmart but the recovery disks won't boot.

The Touchsmart 300-1120 is only 1.5 years old and it's hard drive is already fried. I bought a new hard drive, ordered the recovery disks, and it still won't boot. I've changed the boot order to go from the CD drive first, but all it does is click and then give the same error message it gave when the fired hard drive was in. I checked the diagnostic, and it can see the new hard drive...it just won't boot.

Sometimes they do work - i've done it before. I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
Why not just clone your hard drive? It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
Unless you're having issues with your old set up or your old hard drive is dead.
You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
Good luck

Can I install OneNote 2003 from the recovery disk?

I need a clarification (both my local Toshiba dealer and Microsoft helpdesk have proven to be equaly useless)
I have a Toshiba Satellite and product recovery
Recently (per mistake) I uninstalled Microsoft OneNote 2003
It is still on my recovery CD, I have licence number but I cannot install it without reinstaling whole system and formatting my hard disc?
And I really don't want to do that.
Is there any other way?
Thanks for your help

It seems you didnt understand the whole thing
The point is that you get the software (for free) in connection with your notebook.
Its is not a full licence. Its an OEM licence this means that you can use this software only on this notebook.
Because of that you have to use the Recovery disk if you want to use all the additional (non-Toshiba) programs.
The Toshiba tools and software can be downloaded from the Toshiba page but you will be not able to download non-Toshiba software.

Satellite Pro A200 - New ODD ignors the Recovery disk

Hi,
_Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E Windows XP_
I started getting bad “Not-Ready” system errors on the original ODD. Toshiba Disc Creator report: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H TO01. I tried the FW update, but that did not help.
I replaced the ODD with a new one from Amazon. Toshiba Disc Creator report: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H SC04. The new ODD is listed as suitable in the User Manual - it’s the same model as the original. The new ODD works perfectly for normal use within XP. But when I attempt to use the Recovery Disk, it is ignored and XP always boots from the HDD. And when I press F12 during boot, the new ODD is not listed.
Can you assist me to get the ODD recognised at boot time please?
Thanks.
Mike

Thank you for your replies.
To be exact, I see the following at boot time:
F12 shows only HD and LAN boot options.
F2 shows the usual 4 options, HD, ODD, Floppy and LAN.
But since I have no floppy either, I suspect the F12 list is the correct one - and it fails to show an ODD option.
@C3PO
Yes, Ive tried all those ideas, and I have the latest A200 BIOS.
@Akuma
So it is insufficient to have the correct model number? It should be explained somewhere that even if you have the correct ODD model, it may still not work.
Please can you give me a link to Toshiba, so that I can obtain a suitable ODD. I'm in England.
Thanks for your swift assistance.
Mike

How does the Recover Disk Creator work in fact?

So I've read on the forum about the Recover Disk Creator and I'm a bit confused.. in the name it becomes clear that it is in fact a creator but I no thread has caught my eye that actually involves creating a recovery disk. How does it work? Obviously it is used to recover the system to factory defaults but can you make your own recovery back-ups from the state the system is in that time? Or do all the recovery disks just take you to where it all began so to speak..
And if I could create my own presets, does it have any limitations on amounts of the images? And does it bring with it all that is installed at the time the image has been created?
Like I've made clear in my earlier posts I haven't yet bought the thing.. it's in the mail. I'm just preparing myself for the awful experience of how things can go wrong when I don't have the original Windows DVD in my hands :)
Thanks ahead!

Hello
So many questions!!! I will try to help you with few clear words.
In the past Toshiba has delivered the notebooks with recovery medias. For very old notebooks Toshiba has created mostly two Recovery CDs and for newer notebooks one Recovery DVD.
This recovery DVD was in the box with the notebook.
This recovery CD/DVD contains one recovery image. Recovery image can be installed on the notebook and after every installation the notebook will have factory settings the same state you have when you start your notebook for the first time.
Recovery image contains operating system, drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software. So after installing recovery image you must not install any drivers or additional software. All is done for you.
So, newest notebooks, like your Satellite Pro A300-1EA, are not delivered with separated recovery media and everyone who buy the notebook must/should create own copy. This copy can be used for further operating system installations. For recovery media creation Toshiba has designed special tool and it is designed for recovery media creation ONLY.
Start the tool, choose media you want to use (I recommend you DVD-R), put media into optical disc drive and click on button Create.
Actually the recovery image is saved on HDD and placed on second partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
There is one more thing. If nothing is changed on the system, partitions and if this folder is not deleted you can install operating system anytime you want but without using recovery media.
It is very simply procedure. When notebook starts press F8 and you will enter Advanced Boot options. The first one is called Repair my computer. Enter this one and follow the menu on the screen. After two steps you will see the window with several options and the last one is Recovery option.
So, please create recovery DVD to be on the safe side.
If you have more questions please ask. Someone here will help for sure.
Good luck!
