Exist recovery partition but won't access to reset laptop to factory seting
Dear all,
I am using Toshiba satellite L855-S5186, and bad luck, I erased disk by toshiba tool. I inserted windows 8 DVD to check partition, and result is : windows 8 partition lost but Recovery partition still exist and full data, OMG, lucky. And then, I restart and press F12 to display boot menu but I cannot find Recovery HDD.
1. Please help me clone Recovery data to Recovery USB and I will boot from USB, or better, Can you help me the way to boot from recovery partition.
2. Can I use recovery USB of other Toshiba satellite L855-S5186 to recovery my computer.
My model: Toshiba satellite L855-S5186
OS: windows 8 professional x64
Thank you for your help.
Regard,
Thanh Truong.
Solved!

I think that you have to have Win 8 bootable to get into the recovery program. I believe that if you can find an exactly identical computer you can make recovery media on it or you can buy it from Toshiba.

Anyone having trouble with iCloud? It first started on my iPhone5; it's not connecting to iCloud. Tells me I need to reset my password, but won't let me reset my password
All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Maybe you could be able to use the available files in order to create own disk. Found interesting threads:

Remove the Recovery Partition from an HP Stream 14-z010nr Laptop
I used the Recovery utility to create a recovery thumb drive. I would like to remove the 7GB recovery partition from the 32 GB SSD on my machine.
How do I do so?
This question was solved.
View Solution.A number of laptops and tablets from different manufacturers have the same problem.
The usual reply is:
Use an SD/microSD for the extra storage.
The slightly better reply is:
Install programs directly to the SD card by creating a folder on it called "Program Files" then just change the drive letter when installing.
But some software will not allow you to install to removeable media
The best reply is:
1) Create a new folder on C: called "MicroSD" or similar (your choice)
2) Right-Click on "My Computer/This PC" icon and select Manage
3) Select Disk Management
4) Right-Click on your SD card (usually D and select Chang Drive Letter..
5) Click the Add... button
6) Choose "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" and browse for your new folder
7) Click OK
8) Return to C: in Windows Explorer and find your new folder, which will now appear as a shortcut
9) Right-Click and select properties
10) de-select "Read only" and click OK
11) Double-click the shortcut and create a new folder "Program Files". If you are on 64 bit windows create another called ("Program Files (x86)"
12) You should now be able to see the "Program Files" folder if you open the D drive with Windows Explorer. This proves it works!
You can now install all and any software on your newly created folder, including all 10GB of Visual Studio 2013! -
Files from collaborated/shared folder show online but won't sync to my laptop
I have two CC accounts. One at work and one for my home business. Sometimes I want to share files between the accounts so I use the collaborate feature. The problem I have run into is the files will show up online but they won't transfer to my laptop. The main folder shows up but it's empty. Am I missing something? It's really strange that they show up online.
Do not know which operating system each machine is, but Windows is more restrictive in terms of file names. See this help article: Error: "Unable to sync files".
Please email me the log files for desktop sync (CoreSync) for both machines at [email protected]
The location for each OS are:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
Windows: %APPDATA%/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
Note that on Mac OS X to see the user library from the Finder click on the Go menu and hold down the Alt/ Option key. Note that on Windows %APPDATA% is a variable that will change to the correct path depending on if version of Windows being used. -
No RAID or partition but won't install
Hi. I have a 2008 2.53 GHz Intel C2 4G Macbook Pro. I am trying to install mountain lion with no RAID or partitions. However, it won't install because of the recovery feature. I did it on my iMac with no problems. Please help!!! Thank you.
Are you using an internal CD/DVD drive or external USB CD/DVD drive? If it is external try unplugging and plug into another port when you get the error.
If you call HP Support you should be able to order Recovery Media for your laptop.

Pavillion g6 only boots into HP Recovery partition and won't save files
A student showed me her Pavillion g6 running 7 and said it was broken. On booting up up it goes right past the press esc prompt to a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. I hoped to access the drive by booting from rescue cd's (linux etc.) with the same result (yes, they are near the top of the boot order). So, I decide to rescue her files using the HP recovery manager and everything seems to work fine until it asks me to store the results on my USB device that it detected ... but the next button is inactive.
I notice that I can access files using the DOS prompt option - maybe that is a solution to saving her files [actually it is working now] but can I rescue the system.Hey jbol,
Did you try
Turn notebook off
Hold ESC and keep holding it
Press Power button to turn on like normal
Hold ESC until you see the Start Up Menu
You can change the amount of time it pauses at the start up options screen in msconfig.exe (Boot Tab > Timeout time), but if you can't load Windows at the moment, that may not help much.
Also in addition to holding ESC, you could try holding either F9 - Boot Options, F10 - BIOS or F11 - Recovery Manager.
Hope these suggestions help! Let me know if you have any questions -

win7 Pro. has been running firefox ok. but lately with 25 and now 26, the firefox won't start. I can see firefox is running in task manager. but it just won't pop up.
if I download it again and install it, it will run, but every time I reboot the system, it just won't run again.
try: reset, safe mode, uninstall & reinstall, new/clean profile, none of those work.There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions. -

HT4718 Can't access my EXISTING OSX 10.8.1 Recovery Partition
This computer is a non-retina mid-2012 MacBook Pro.
Using DiskUtil in Terminal shows the correct disk configuration:
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *750.2 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 749.3 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
However, booting up with Cmd-R just goes to the Internet Recovery, and booting up with Option Key shows 2 identical Macintosh HD icons - selecting either one boots the system regularly from the Macintosh HD; no Recovery Partition shows up. I had two eligible computers and the first one was updated directly from the App Store; this one was done with a bootable USB drive.
35 years into the "microcomputer revolution" I really hope that someone can suggest a solution other than "reinstall the operating system." Not that I don't appreciate help, but this should be fixable with a less drastic solution. The parition is there, something needs to be told to recognize it. Also, I don't know that reinstalling will produce any different results, although reinstalling directly from the App Store might "turn on" whatever is "turned off."
Thank you.This is completely normal. By booting OS X Recovery you are accessing the Recovery partition.
The Recovery partition is normally hidden, since it is intended to be for "emergency use only". As a longtime computer user, this may understandably annoy you, but there really is nothing you ought to do with it.
Reinstalling the OS won't help since it will just recreate the recovery partion, even if you reformat or completely replace the drive.
You may see suggestions from users from time to time to reinstall OS X. This scatter-shot approach is almost never justified on a Mac, since most problems are due to conflicting or poorly written third party software unrelated to the OS, and a reinstallation won't help.
Replacing a failed hard disk is one valid reason to reinstall OS X. It's difficult to come up with any others.
See the diskutil manpages to determine how to mount the recovery partition so that you may examine its contents (which are read-only). You'll then be able to get yourself into all sorts of trouble.
This excerpt from the Lion Ars Technica review may save you the time:
Doing so reveals the partition as a normal HFS+ volume. The top level contains a directory named com.apple.recovery.boot which in turn contains a few small files related to booting along with an invisible 430MB internally compressed disk image file named BaseSystem.dmg. Mount that disk image and you find a 1.52GB bootable Mac OS X volume containing Safari, most of the contents of the standard /Applications/Utilities folder (Disk Utility, Startup Disk, Terminal, etc.), plus a Mac OS X Lion installer application. In other words, it looks a lot like a standard Mac OS X installer DVD.
That was the idea - to eliminate the need for a system recovery DVD.
As you can see the recovery partition probably won't have much to interest you anyway.
To get a better impression of how all this works (N.B. the following is NOT for the faint-hearted):
Clone your system to an external volume
Boot from the external volume
Completely erase your internal HD, removing all existing partitions
Unplug your external volume and boot OS X Recovery
Reinstall OS X -

Satellite C660 - recovery partition is there but can I make back up discs?
Hi all
Just a query
My GF turned on her laptop Satellite C660 series and it would not boot up, we tried to initiate the recovery sequence from the recovery partition but kept getting the error that was on boot up (the error was telling us a USB device had been unplugged).
As you probably guessed she never made the back-up discs when prompted, all I could think of was using a win 7 disc and reload that way then try and make the recovery discs after (I didn't activate)
so win 7 was installed nicely and all drivers sourced that was all last week.
Now for the crunch , the recovery partition is there can I now make the recovery discs and install from those , the win 7 I installed will soon require activation
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanceRecovery discs can be created with preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and this tool is available when notebook is preinstalled with original OS from Toshiba. Additional download and usage is not possible.
As Terentino already wrote best thing you can do now is to order original recovery disc from Toshiba. It costs a bit but at least it is the best solution for you.
Next time if there is some problem, dont act before you post here. ;) I hope we can help you with some good and useful advice.
Good luck. -
