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!

Trying to recover my HP dv4-1543sb using the recovery disks and it has failed 3 times. What now?

I'm getting the message
"Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image. Please contact HP Support. Error code 0xe0ef0003'.

Enter the bios, hold F10 down while powering up, keep holding F10 until the bios loads, in there you will find hard drive and memory diagnostics, run both of the extended tests, post back any error codes.

What does the recovery disk assistant store?

hello everyone, my questions:
1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
thanks
Fatih.

As it said in the link I posted:
has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
And here it is explained further:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.

Equium A210-171 - Maximum hard drive capacity?

What is the max capacity hard drive the equium a210-171 can take?

Hi turboiwan,
As far as I know Equium A210-171 has already SATA interface for HDD so you can install every HDD with this interface because on SATA standard are no capacity limits. That means 500GB HDDs or more would work.
For example I upgraded my notebook with 500GB Western Digital HDD and this worked great.

Equium A210 -171 - how do I re-install Vista

Hi,
I was updating the O/S (Vista 32Bit) on-line from Microsoft when the laptop (Equium A210 -171) shutdown.
It may have reached the overheating limit and this is the reason that it shutdown (me guessing).
I let the computer cool down and when I tried to boot from the instructions as per
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1845345& rpn=PSL48U&modelFilter=L45-S7423&selCategory=3&selFamily=107376866
the computer seems to lock up.
When I get to boot in Safemode the computer seems to lock up on \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys or some other system file.
The action of pressing 0 and then turning on the computer with the Product Recovery CD-ROM in the drive also results in a lock up of the system resulting in a black screen only. Pressing C at startup also produces the same effect.
As a test I put a Linux Ubuntu CD-ROM into the drive to see if I could run another O/S on a different HD.
This action was successful. But my children need Windows for the games that they play.
So, my question is ... how do I re-install Vista. The factory re-install setup seems to be not functioning.
Many thanks,
Tommy.

> As a test I put a Linux Ubuntu CD-ROM into the drive to see if I could run another O/S on a different HD.
I mean you have installed a Linux on different partition and not HDD. Right.
Well, this means that HDD is OK and the notebook should run with Windows as well.
> The action of pressing 0 and then turning on the computer with the Product Recovery CD-ROM in the drive also results in a lock up of the system resulting in a black screen only. Pressing C at startup also produces the same effect.
First of all I recommend start the BIOS and to set booting from CD/DVD drive at the beginning.
Then save the changes and reboot the unit.
While pressing the power button, press F12.
This allows you to get the boot menu on the screen.
Insert the Windows installation disk (or Toshiba recovery disk) and choose ODD (CD/DVD drive)
Then notebook should start to boot from CD/DVD drive.
Note; if you are using Windows CD (not recovery disk) then you should change an option in BIOS.
Set the SATA mode to compatible and save the changes.

What info do I need when I buy an Iphone 4

What info will I need with me when I go to buy an Iphone. And do I have to have to AT&T account holder with me in order to buy an iPhone and activate it in the store? I might go to best buy or the apple store

If you go to the Apple Store they will require that the account holder be present to do the upgrade. At least that's the problem I ran into when I tried to get my iPhone 3G. Technically, AT&T does allow Authorized Users to perform upgrades without the account holder present but I do not believe that whatever system Apple has in place allows them to do that (that's the impression I got when I was trying for my iPhone 3G). Best Buy should be able to do it for you if the account holder makes you an Authorized User on the account.

Re: Equium A210-171 - How can I burn a Recovery disk

I have a Equium A210-171 and I believe there is and onboard recovery to bring back to factory settings.
Could someone please help be in how I can do this or burn the onboard to cd. or even where I can get the cd from.
Cheers

If you didnt get recovery DVD and if you have HDDRecovery folder on second partition, that means your notebook is delivered with HDD image only.
You can create recovery media using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut should be placed on the desktop.
I have done this several times on different models successfully using all the time Verbatim or TDK DVD-R media.

Equium A210-171 - Vista Resume Failure

Equium A210-171 running Windows Vista Home 32-bit.
On Boot, I get Windows resume loader screen indicating error and asking to select either 'continue with system resume' or 'delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu'. BUT keyboard will not respond (not even to select caps lock). Have to turn off at switch to restart.
Any key press after Toshiba boot splash screen produces a blank screen (even f8 and other function keys).
Tried default BIOS settings to no effect.
This problem occurred a couple of months ago and was resolved by wiping Hard disk and putting on a new copy of windows from a Vista CD. Now it is back again - cannot keep starting from scratch!

Have managed to recover normal Windows boot, by removing the hard disk, connecting it to another machine and renamed then deleted the hibernate file.
The hard disk checks out ok on testing, but there does not seem to be any reference to SMART support in this BIOS. It seems that windows or power failure during hibernate was the source of the Hibernate issue
However the problem with the keyboard still remains Any key-press between the end of the Toshiba splash screen and the opening of the operating system freezes the machine, and an external USB keyboard is similarly affected.
Hence it is not possible to use F8 to select windows repair options, and it is not possible to Boot from a DVD/CD if that boot operation requires press enter to boot from DVD as does the Windows install DVD or Anti-Virus boot CDs.
When this happened before, the BIOS was upgraded to ensure that a corrupt BIOS was not the source of the problem. However, the Toshiba BIOS upgrade software prevents reinstallation of the same or older version of the BIOS. So, as there has been no upgrade since version 2.0, BIOS replacement is not an option - BAD software design by Toshiba!!!
Any Ideas to clear this problem?

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.

What licensing do I need for this use ?

Lets say Im planning an application which does nothing but
allows the user to upload Adobe PDF documents to our server. Then
once on the server, parse the values from forms on the PDF's and
extract the data. We wont be distributing Acrobat reader or any
other Adobe product, but will provide a link where they can
download the reader.
Also, the PDF's would be created by someone with a copy of
Acrobat pro. These PDF's will need digital signature capability.
Can Acrobat reader handle signatures ?
Here are my questions:
- What licensing do I need, if any, in the above scenario,
other than that for a copy of Acrobat ?
- What are my options for capturing digitical signatures
within a PDF and will the publicly available version of Acrobat
reader allow the end user to sign the documents, provided they
install the extra requirements for handling the signatures ?

This isn't the correct forum for this topic, but I may be
able to get you started...
The licensing restrictions on gathering form data from PDFs
is outlined in the EULA for Reader, I believe there is a limit of
500 copies, but I could be wrong ... you should look at the EULA to
be sure.
Beyond that, try posting to the
Acrobat
Forums or contacting a sales rep at Adobe, they may be able to
advise you further.

1,1 running Lion with XP Boot (re-install and what should i use for recovery disk or usb stick)?

i am trying to give my 1,1 mac pro a little love and would like to keep this machine running lion. i also have a boot camp installation of XP on it.
1. can anyone give me instructions on how/whether i can basically do a fresh install of Lion on this machine and minimize the system so it is not cluttered up with all my previous software etc, etc while still maintaining the original XP boot camp partition which i really need to have?
2. can anyone clarify for me what i should have on hand /if/ i need to boot into recovery mode or some other safe boot mode? i recently ran into an issue where i may have had to use the old Disk Utility format function and there was a reference to booting using the DVD install disks. however i am really confused as to what i should have on hand. ALSO the last time i had to do something on this machine i was told to boot into the Recovery Partition and it appears for some reason (perhaps because i had a "non-standard" windows 7 boot camp installation on the drive at the time??) that there was no recovery partition created when i upgraded to Lion.
- /anyway/ i am finding that i have the two ORIGINAL install disks for the mac pro on hand, a Max OS X Leopard and a mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD on hand but i am thinking that i should be creating some kind of USB stick similar to the one i created with yosemite? actually, i am not even sure what this USB stick for yosemite is for but i guess i can use it to boot into safe mode or something?
THANKS for any help as i'd like to get this business under control a little better in case i have an issue.
i'd also like to install Lion so that there is a Recovery Partition if possible and i think this may be possible if i don't have the windows 7 partition in the machine when i do a fresh install. any help would be great. thanks.

You have to go out of your way to build the Installer Disk yourself. But this tool makes it easy, and this site contains instructions:
http://diskmakerx.com
the bootable installer is basically to re-install the OS if i have to
Yes.
the recovery partition is somehow for fixing a problem
Recovery can go and get you the software and re-download it and start the Install, and allows the use of Disk Utility and can reset passwords.
or is there some overlap?
Yes. Both give you access to the Utilities that used to be on the Installer DVD. Disk Utility to Repair or initialize and a few other tools that can allow you to set up to install on an otherwise-bare disk or change your password.
is "Safe Mode" something completely different
Safe Mode is a way to start the fully-Installed Operating System in a special way. It first does one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) against the Boot Drive. [Normally this would require booting from a different drive to make repairs.] Then it loads a minimal set of Apple-only kernel extensions, and uses a one-size-fits-all screen resolution. Then it demands your Username and password to proceed.
From there you can fix settings, use the Finder to add or delete things, and check operation with minimal extensions versus all your daily-use extensions. Very helpful for debugging extension conflicts and graphics settings problems, and fixing damaged settings. The next Restart builds a new extensions cache.

What's in the recovery disk?

I have a G71-449VVM notebook running Windows 7 Premium with 4GB of RAM and have Norton 360 for protection. I travel a lot and have to use other’s CD to load data to my computer or to look at manuals. Several months ago I used a disk that I did not want to load so used the CD to access the program which used Explorer as an interface. Ever since my Adobe Standard 9 will not function correctly and requires the CD to be in the computer. Even then it does not work right. When I got the computer I burned the recovery disk and I hope that if I do the recovery I will correct my problems. The problem is that I have MS Office installed but cannot find my disk. 3 questions (for now):
Assuming I did this correctly and made the recovery disk after I loaded MS Office, will doing the recovery load the program again?
If yes, then how can I tell what programs and contained in my recovery disks (it made 3 disk)?
Assuming I can do this and all this corrects my problem, how can I set trigger points for recovery? What I would like to do is before going into a project set the recovery point so that if there is a problem I can reset to that point.

Hi:
Recovery disks...
When you make recovery disks using the recovery manager, no matter when you make them, they will only have the programs that came with your PC when you bought it (except MS Office Starter).
Any programs or files you added to the PC afterward will not be included in the recovery disk set you made.
So, MS Office will not be on the recovery disk set, or any programs or files you added since you bought the PC.
I recommend you obtain a portable hard drive, and use the Windows backup and recovery function to create a system image and a Windows repair CD.
With that, you can do what you want, and create restore images any time you want, and if you need to recover your system with all of the programs and files you have installed, that is what you want to use.
