Getting New Hard disk from Toshiba for E45t-A4100 . Do I still need recovery media

Hi,
My hard drive crashed and after the online troubleshooting was directed to go for a new hard drive which I did as the laptop is in warranty.
However I am asked to get a recovery media too(as I do not have one created earlier).
My query is will the new hard drive not come with windows preinstalled. What extra will the recovery media have to help me. (Sorry if the questions sound dumb)
Thanks

New hard drive is blank, recovery media is needed.
If the drive you have will load in safe mode you could try to burn your own recovery media, if not you will have to order recovery media.

  • How to get Vista Installation Disk from Toshiba?

    I've been working with Microsoft support to resolve a security issue on my Satellite Pro A210, and have now been asked to use a Vista installation disk.
    Microsoft says that I am entitled to an installation disk from the original supplier of my kit - Toshiba. But one did not arrive with my laptop - only a recovery disk was supplied.
    How do I go about acquiring a Vista installation disk from Toshiba?
    Regards,
    Kevin C.

    Mores is right. Toshiba doesnt offer installations CD with operating system only. you will get recovery image.
    Recovery image definition:
    +Recovery Image is an exact copy of a computer's hard drive and contains the exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive partition.+
    +The copy includes all the partition information, boot sectors, the file allocation table, operating system installation and different application software.+
    +Using Recovery installation CDs/DVDs, you can restore your system after heavy data loss caused by an operating system crash, virus attack or hardware failure complete.+
    +Recovery image installation procedure allows the user easy and fast system installation. Unfortunately it is not possible to restore only certain files from a disk image.+
    +Every recovery image is designed for one specific notebook model and it can not be used for any other notebook series.+

  • Getting new Hard Disk. Need help with moving files from old one.

    Hey guys so here is my dilema. So I have a Lacie 500GB Hard Drive and made the mistake of accidently deleting all my backups.db into the trash but thankfully never emptied that. There was no way to put it back into the backups folder so it caused me a lot of distress. I have decided to grab a portable hard disk instead such as the Western Digital. Heres my thought. I really only want to transfer a few things from the Lacie such as photos, movies, and a few documents from all the backup dates but nothing else. Is there a way to maybe automate so that certain files will transfer over instead of it all?
    Thanks in advance!
    On a sidenote, if you have any suggestions for portable, small, lightweight, yet large capacity (at least 1TB) portable hard drives let me know!

    Lacie is a Seagate drive
    To move specific files, open the backup database (time machine, backups.db). When you open Time Machine and select a date to restore from, you should see a Finder like view of that particular backup.  Navigate through the backup the same way as you would through the Finder and choose the folder or files you wish to restore.

  • Getting new hard disks to show up?

    I have installed Solaris 10 to my primary hard disk. The OS is up and running fine as far as I can tell. I have also added two three more hard disks (250GB PATA IDE drives). The BIOS during bootup sees the drives just fine. (Even the Solaris install saw them...). When I'm in the CDE GUI I can't get the OS to see the extra 3 drives.
    I've tried going into the Solaris Management Console 2.1 and then I choose "This Computer" on the "Open Toolbox" dialog. From there I go to the "Storage" --> "Disks" and I get an error message "Attempt to get a list of all Disks failed with unexpected CIM error: CIM_ERR_FAILED"
    Help! Am I just looking in the wrong spot? What do I need to do to get the 3 additional disks to show up? (I'm trying to get them to show up so I can setup a ZFS raid...)

    jebilbrey:
    With all due respect; none of the various *nix are particularly well suited to "point and click" system administration. One of their most redeeming qualitites (to me) is that you learn the innards of the system and moving icons around isn't that ;)
    Now, as for the format command; as root you type in "format" from the command prompt. If you see them with that command you select the disk you want to partition (it will have a number assigned). From there you select part (I think that's it) then you assign the size for each slice of the disk with the exception of slice 2 which is the whole drive from block 0 to block n.
    Once you've laid out the disk with the partitions you want you use the "label" option to write the partition table to the disk.
    If you are going to mount filesystems; you have to use newfs on the partitions you created; then mount them up.
    As I said; not exactly "point and click" system administration.
    Cheers,

  • Recovery Disks From Toshiba

    I'm considering ordering a recovery disk from Toshiba for my Satellite L870D P/N PSKFQU-00D007 so that I can re-install Windows 8 clean.  I purchased my laptop from ToshibaDirect.  I can't make my own recovery disks because my hard drive has already been reformatted.  Does anyone have experience with this?  Will the disks I get from Toshiba have all the files and drivers I need for a complete reinstall of the OS?

    When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media everything is restored. It's not like installing Windows.

  • New hard disk on old imac - best way to transfer back-up from Time Machine??

    Hello,
    The hard disk on my 2008 iMac died and I just got my computer back from the repair guy, who installed a new hard disk (and the latest Yosemite).
    Which is the best (and most fail-proof) way for me to transfer all the stuff from the old hard disk -  which is on my Time Machine – to the new one?
    Before getting repaired, my iMac was running on Mavericks. My Internet access has also changed (it broke down the same week… ). Don't know it that makes a difference.

    Connect your backup drive to the computer. Because you had Mavericks installed before you can only restore your Home folder from the backup. Use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Upon completion you will have two user accounts. The one you are now using and the migrated one. Log out of the account you are using then log into the migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and enter your admin password for the migrated account. Select the account you were using and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the option to delete immediately.

  • New hard disk for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

    I need to get af new hard disk drive for my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc. I have great difficulties in getting in touch with HP denmark since my product is out of waranty.
    My questions is if the PC can handle a disk larger than my current on on 500 GB. Further more I am not sure about other potential limits the PC could have ini regards to speed and other parameters on a new disk drive
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    As your computer is out of warranty, please purchase a 500GB - 2TB 3.5" SATA2 or 3 hard drive from an online or local retailer. If the new drive is an AF (Advanced Format) drive, you may have issues using the HP Recovery Media you created or purchased.
    If this is the case and you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. This method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.
    Links to Windows 7 SP1 can be found HERE and HERE. (Download the Windows 7)
    Direct link to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. (Use to create the media from the ISO)

    Officially you don't. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

    Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

    At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
    Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
    Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

    Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
    As for the install failing,
    I never do the older "archive and install"
    I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
    of course all the data is lost.
    Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
    TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
    Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
    Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
    A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
    Just some ideas to throw out there....
    Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
    I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
    LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
    So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.
