How can I get system recovery discs (mailed and/or burned from laptop)?

I have a family member who is in another state and has a Toshiba C855D-S5100. It is just under 1yr old and is having some issues booting up. She got it from Best Buy and took it to them yesterday. They are currently running a full diagnostic scan and will let us know what the problem is sometime today (virus, bad drive, bad memory, etc.).
In the meantime, it made me think that we may want to create some recovery discs (if we can). I did this with an older Gateway. It required 4 DVDs. Can this be done with this model? If so, how as it has Windows 8 and I am not real familiar with this operating system just yet.
If the test comes back and says the hard drive is the issue, the unit will be sent to Toshiba for repair (since there is 2 weeks left on warranty). In addition to trying to create some recovery discs, can we maybe somehow order the actual recovery discs from Toshiba directly (& keep for future purposes if the hard drive fails and gets replaced)? If so, how and where do we go to get these Toshiba recovery discs sent to us?

The full Specifications for that machine are HERE.
See the User's Guide starting on page 55 for instructions on "Creating Recovery Media" yourself.
You can order Recovery Media from HERE. (Scroll down).

    You contacted your carrier, what did they say. There is no special setting on the iPhone for SMS, only MMS. You can go into Settings>Messages, make sure that MMS is turned on for media messages, but SMS has to be activated at the carrier end.,

  • How can I create the recovery discs for my AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)

    Q.: How can I create the recovery discs for my MSI laptop/AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)
    A.:
    1. Locate the "MSI BurnRecovery" shortcut on your desktop or start menu. Run this program. (Note: If UAC is enabled, press "Yes" to allow the program to run.
    2. MSI BurnRecovery will prepare the files. This process may take a few minutes.
    3. Click on "Next" to continue.
    4. Click on "Advanced".
    5. Click on "Create an ISO file for the recovery disc".
    6. Select the destination where you want to create the ISO files. (Default is the D: drive)
    7. The program will now create the ISO files. This process may take up to 20 minutes.
    8. Click on "Finish". Make sure the box is unchecked.
    9. Browse to the location of the ISO files. Double-click the recovery_dvd file. (Note: Depending on your system, you will have 1-3 recovery_dvd files)
    10. Insert a blank DVD (If the AutoPlay window pops-up, close it). Click on "Burn". It is also recommended to check the box to verify disc after burning.
    11. After burn is complete, click on "Close".
    12. Double-click the recovery_dvd2 file.
    13. Insert a blank DVD (If the AutoPlay window pops-up, close it). Click on "Burn". It is also recommended to check the box to verify disc after burning.
    14. After burn is complete, click on "Close". Recovery disc creation is now complete. (You can also delete the ISO files, but it is recommended to keep them)

  • HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
    If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
    If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
    If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
    Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

  • When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position.  How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

    When initiating an e mail to someone with several addresses used in the past the one I use most often does not come up in the first position.  How can I get these multiple e mails prioritized?

    We are talking about the Mail app, right? In the Mail menubar, click on Window and then Previous Recipients:
    That eliminates the previous recipients. If you are talking about the suggestions because there are 10 people with the name 'Steve' in your Contacts, then I do not know how to eliminate those unless you change the name slightly or wait until you type the last name or some other differentiator.

    Hi,
    I just want to know how can i get system variables
    using java code.
    for example i want to get the the date for today or i
    want to get the number of processes that's running.
    Thanks alotSome generic "system variables" are available though Java, usually through the System class.
    Date today = new Date();
    is instantiated with the current date and time.
    Other system values, like environment values, should be passed to java through the command line (-D option) by setting system properties.
    Finally, platform specific values like the number of processes running will have to be written in platform specific code and executed by JNI (java native interface).
    Java is platform or system agnostic. Common system values, like time, are implemented. Hopefully you won't need platform specific values.

    How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
    * also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
    It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
    I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
    Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on

    Hi lundjj,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:
    iPod not appearing in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3716
    This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
    iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
    Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Hello Utpal,
    I am really surprised, in just 10 minutes you searched that site and found it not useful. <b>Check out my previous reply "you will not find screen shot in this but you can add it in this"</b>
    You will not find readymade document, you need to add this as per your requirement.
    btw, the following link gives you some more link for new SAP guys, this will be helpful. <b>Check out HOW to BASIC transaction</b>

    Are you SURE you need to reinstall? Often people believe this but it rarely solves anything. Does a message say you must?
