Help Please! Dumb Mistake. Made No Recovery Disc

I have a Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6922 and unfortunately did not ccreate a recovery disc. I purchased the laptop in 2008 or 2009 and this morning it would not start. I repeatedly got a message that the problem could not be repaired automatically. I guess I made a dumb move and went straight to restoring/recovery. I got passed the red and black warning screen. I chose Restore to Default Factory Software and after that option I tried the other 2-3 options available, seperate times and I keep getting the same error message: 10-FC12-045D.
Do I have to send it back to have it fixed? Would a local Toshiba repair shop have the discs available? Or can I order a recovery disc for my model? I have access to another Toashiba Satellite L555 - could I create a recovery disc from that other computer and use it on mines? could there be a bigger problem with my computer?
please help. I need this resolved as soon as possible. Unemployed and have to do job searches all day.
thank you so much.

I'm going through the same problems with different error message. My was working almost fine UNTIL I ran Toshiba Recovery discs and lost the whole system. Search the related forum posts for other options I have a A355 series as well. Try some local computer repair guys first if you are past warrenty and see if any of them have recovery discs.. Cheaper and faster. Judging from the posts Toshiba is about useless for support. Have you tried pressing and keeping down the Zero key while powering up yet. That worked for me a while back. Good luck.

Help please! Going mad with CSS in JEditorPane

Hi gurus,
For more then two days now i am trying to get css working with html in my jeditorpane.
This is the stylesheet:
.toc1
font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom: 0px;
.toc2
font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
.plannerhyperlink
color:green;
text-decoration:italic;
SIMPLE isn't it?
In my JEditorPane constructor I do this
StyleSheet styleSheet = new StyleSheet();
//StyleSheet styleSheet = kit.getStyleSheet();
FileReader reader = new FileReader("/programs/eclipse/workspace/Planner/src/nl/renepetersconsultancy/planner/gui/HTMLHelp/test.css");
styleSheet.loadRules(reader, new URL("file:/programs/eclipse/workspace/Planner/src/nl/renepetersconsultancy/planner/gui/HTMLHelp/test.css"));
kit.setStyleSheet(styleSheet);
setEditorKit(kit);
setPage(url);
I know that the rules are loaded: I printed them to check that. But nothing happens!!!! Almost all layout is gone. If I use the original stylesheet and load my rules on top of them, I can see I have all of them, but everything is layout with the original default style and again my layout is ignored.
HELP Please, anyone. I am desperate (deadline + demo is tomorrow) :-(

GL is far easier to do simple CSS than DW, but once you get through the awkward DW interface, it can become clearer. I can only easily see how CSS is created in DW by exporting a GL site that has some already in it. Still not as easy as GL, but we're now stuck with it.
DW still does not handle full fledged CSS unless you have coding experience.
DW has always been more for the programmer than designer (just try asking a question on the DW forum :-)
CS4 seems to be an improvement, but not there yet.

My HDD broke and I bought a new one. I never made a recovery disc. No way to recover?

As the topic states, I broke my HDD on my Toshiba Satellite L745-S4110 and I just bought a new one. The hard drive is completely fried; the BIOS cannot detect it upon start up.
It broke because I bumped the hard drive while it was writing data, but that's beside the point; the obvious fix was to buy a new hard drive.
So I've bought this new hard drive, and now I want to re-install Windows on it as well as all of the associated drivers for the components on the laptop. I want to be perfectly, crystal clear; there is NO WAY for me to do this without forking $30 over to Toshiba for them to ship me a recovery disk? (No, I never made one while I had the chance.)
If this is the case, I'm just going to pirate windows and hope for the best on getting those drivers back. From the wise words of Gabe Newell:
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."
I already own a license to the copy of Windows for this laptop, yet I must still spend money to (legally) obtain the software that I already own a license to use? That's definitely a service problem.
The other reason that pirating windows is the better option here, is that the associated recovery disk (which I will have to pay $30 to get) is going to have a bunch of shovelware on it that I absolutely do not want. A pirated copy will not have any of this.
Sorry, I'm done ranting for now. Anyways, to re-iterate; there is no option to simply download the needed recovery disk as an ISO and then burn it myself?

Satellite L745-S4110
Drivers and utilities are here.
No need to pirate anything. As you say, you have already purchased Windows 7 Home Premium. And as the mad RN says, you can legally download Windows. (Microsoft sells activation - not the software.)
Select Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 (bootable) from this site.
Download Windows 7 Integrated With SP1 ISO – Official Direct Download Links
Be sure to partition and format during Setup. (No need for this using the recovery media. And you get a recovery-environment partition plus a full-recovery partition.)
Installing and reinstalling Windows 7
Good luck on installing the drivers and utilities. The order is problematic. Best luck seems to be had by installing the Intel chipset and display software prior to other drivers. (No need for any of this when you use recovery media, of course.)
If you cannot activate Windows using the product key on the bottom of the computer, come back here for tips. (Windows on the recovery media is preactivated.)
One advantage to this approach is you'll avoid all the extra garbage, especially offers from Amazon, NetZero, Norton, QuickBooks, and Skype.
My time, however, is worth way more than the $30. I would opt for ordering the recovery media and removing the garbage. But that's your call.

Finding a HP laptop recovery disc

My hard drive crashed and I don't have an operating system disc.
I bought a new hard drive but have not installed it---I was told
by a friend I need to find and get an operating system disc.
Can you help me find one?

If you never made your Recovery Disc set-you may be able to order from HP depending on how old your laptop is. HP still carries most Windows 7 discs and of course Windows 8.
US/Canada models can usually order from the Support page. Or you can phone HP Support.If you live in the US, contact HP Here. If you live in another part of the world, start here>>Contact HP
In future requests for help it usually speeds thing up if we have your Model & Product Number.

Use Product Recovery Disc on different Thinkpad for virus recovery?

Hi,
Three days of struggling to clean an infected Thinkpad so I am ready for drastic action.
Wife's T60 2007-43U rendered useless by ramnit virus. Long story, but reformat seems like only solution.
Have T60 2008-SAA with as-built installation, and expect I can make Product Recovery discs for that machine.
Also have T60P 2007-8JU working fine, but with no recovery partition or great Thinkpad utilities,Sonic or WinDVD as reformat by previous owner deleted them. All three computers have XP Pro with SP-3.
Questions:
1. Can self-made Product Recovery Disc from one Thinkpad be used to reinstall factory load on these others?
2. If so, should doing that completely clean the disk of existing virus and leave it in "new" condition?
3. Understand 6 CD's make up the factory set of Recovery Discs. The as built load is about 10GB! Is there a list somewhere of what all is included in the Recovery? Before I start making these discs, should I expect a total of 6, more, or fewer?
Thanks!

Returning to give you feedback on the success of this recovery. The T60 went from being a doorstop to fully functional!
Thanks again to ajkula and TuuS for their suggestions. Helped me through a harrowing experience.
I made a full set of Product Recovery Discs, 6 cd's, but did not use them as it would have restored I assume to Windows XP or XP SP2 as originally shipped. The source computer had been upgraded to XP SP3 and was up to date on all Windows Patches. I decided to give it a try with Rescue and Recovery to take advantage of those upgrades. I made a full set of R & R discs and with nothing on the computer other than the original load and Firefox, it took 10 cd's.
On the target computer, the one with the virus damage, I set the bios to start from the CD drive, then, as ajkula suggested, and many other anti-virus sources endorsed, I wiped the disk, and I used dBan for that. Worked well in "short DoD mode" and took about 3 hours on a 60 gb drive. I had never tried that before.
I loaded the R & R start-up disc and from there on all I had to do was insert the next disc when instructed. This took several hours because I was not always paying attention when it called for the next disc. The only confusion was after the start-up disc ran and formated the drive, on the next disc, it warned that it was going to format the drive. I don't know if it did it twice or if the message is just poor communication. It went through to the end, and the result is the previously virus ridden computer is now 'identical" to the source. The hardware is similar but not totally identical . As TuuS suggested, the drivers must have been there as I did not have to add any drivers during this operation or since.

How to create Rescue and Recovery disc for Windows Vista Home Basic with G530 Lenovo Laptop?

Hi All,
I have purchased G530 Lenovo laptop 2 weeks back.
I coudn't find installation/recovery discs in my laptop box.
I went across the forums and came to know that it is not available now-a-days as it was coming previously.
So, anybody can help me, how to create a recovery disc?
This is needed when I format my laptop.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Umesh.

Click on what used to be the "Start" button and search for "create" or "recovery". It took me a while to find it but it is there.
Use a cd for the first disc and 2 DVD's for the other discs.

Just upgraded to Lion, how can I use my microsoft office especially excel. I'm getting messages that it's no longer supported. This is a BIG problem. Help, please.

Apple has made a serious error not advising people when the Lion upgrade occurs that their present software may/will not be compatible and advise the user of such before and allow a opt out.
All you can do (besides upgrading all your software) is backup your data off the machine (not to TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and erase your makers hard drive on the far left, (that's the entire drive of everything)
Partition tab: Option: GUID, format OS X extended and click apply so you get a new GUID (replacing the Lion one or trouble occurs later)
Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup and use the same name as before, then update to 10.6.8
Then c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility to Repair the disk the 10.6.8 update messed up.
Then install all your programs again from fresh sources and lastly your user files in the same main user folders as before (music, pictures, documents etc.)
Done as described will get you back just like it was before as close as possible, make SURE to use the same username or else your iTunes and other files get all messed up. Password and drive name can be different though if you wish.
Note: if you've upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6, then you don't get the free iLife as it's not on the 10.6.3 white disks, only on the disks that came with your machine. So that will have to be purchased and reinstalled or use Pacifist to extract it from the 10.5 disks.
This handy site can advise you what software doesn't work with the Lion.

also if peeps can tell me what softaware is on their 22xx series one that may be a big help too
many thanks scott

Are you able to start in Recovery mode ?. OS X: About OS X Recovery
If so, then after the language choice screen, click Utilities at the top of the screen & choose Terminal.
Once Terminal opens, type resetpassword then press the enter key.
Choose your user from the list & follow the prompts to create a new password. Then restart the computer normally.
This won't allow you to update app store apps which the previous owner bought, but will let you install new software.
Ideally, you'd erase the HD & reinstall OS X yourself : you may be able to do that from Internet Recovery, but may need original install DVDs,
which Apple will usually supply for a small charge, if you call them with the serial number.

Help please I can't save any documents now! Thanks in advance all, it is truly appreciated. how can find the hidden temporary files using the terminal what do i type in?

It's more likely a failed Erase Free Space, which creates a huge temporary file; that's why it looks like you have no more available drive space. You can recover from this. See these links

Can somebody please please help me! External harddrive not readable due to dumb mistake!

What is quite possibly one of the dumbest decisions i ever made in my life, I disconnected my external harddrive from my imac & plugged it into a laptop that has Windows 7 to trasfer footage from there to my imac more quicker. I clciked an option that allowed me to assign a letter to it to it can be read by the laptop (however, I would of needed to format the harddrive which I thankfully didn't). Please understand that erasing the entire harddrive is NOT an option! I am a filmmaker & I have so many years of work on there, including videos, music, & documents.
When the computer starts up I get hit with "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"! I tried Disk Utiity & even though it recognizes the drive's existence, I cannot repair or mount...nor can I access any of the files! I also tried Diskwarrior & got "directory cannot be rebuilt, the file system is unsupported".
If theres anything you guys can do to help me, please do so. My life was on that harddrive & losing it would be the most devistating thing I could ever experience. A movie I finished not too long ago...is also on that harddrive. I'll send you a full video completely thanking you for your help!

Call a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers. Their services are very expensive, but without backups, you have no choice but to pay whatever they ask.
