How to get a Recovery media for Satellite L305D S5900

I am a Ghanaian who bought a Toshiba laptop about seven months ago. The model is Satellite L305D S5900. I am also in Ghana. I found out from the documents that came with the laptop and your forum that I can order for Recovery media for it with no charge on the software itself.
How do I get this Recovery media for my machine as I am in a different country? What are the things involved?
Thank You.

Your T500 can burn CD's at the least and if you can access Windows, you should be able to burn a set of recovery discs.
Other than that, I suggest calling support to see what they can do to help. The number in the U.S. is 1-800-426-7378.

  • Need Recovery Media for Satellite A660-042 Model PSAW3C-042017

    The hard drive on my Satellite A660-042 Model PSAW3C-042017 died on me. I have installed a new HDD but need the RECOVERY MEDIA. The Laptop was purchased in Canada, Toshiba USA does not seem to have the Recovery Media for this model and Toshiba Canada will not mail it to the USA. Can anyone help? 

    Satellite A660-042 (PSAW3C-042017)
    All the stuff for your Canadian model is here.
    Toshiba Canada will not mail it to the USA.
    I'm really surprised at that. Toshiba in the US mails them to Canada for US models.
    Have you called 800-663-0378 yourself?
    If that's true, you'll need to have an acquaintance order the discs and reship them.

  • Can I get BOOTABLE recovery media for my satellite l650?

    Headache Introduction:  I'm an IT professional with moderate support and system build experience. I bought a Toshiba laptop 6 weeks ago that is suddenly VERY messed up.  I start it up, the "starting windows" screen appears, hangs, then reboots. Upon reboot, it tries to enter system recovery, which merely leads to a black screen with a cursor and no options (waiting doesn't make them appear either).  Windows won't completely load, safe mode won't load, system recovery hangs, and holding down "0" to get to the boot partition still results in the machine trying to load windows, then it hangs, etc., wash, rinse, repeat...
    OS Reinstallation seems necessary here, but what with Toshiba's AWESOME decision to no longer include bootable recovery media with their products, it seems I'm stuck with a 6 week old, $550 paper weight. I followed the instructions to make recovery DVDs (5 of them), but they don't seem to be bootable (even when i set my BIOS to boot from optical, it still eventually goes to "starting windows", hangs, etc.).
    Toshiba wants me to send the laptop back for repair, which will take a month, and likely be necessary again X months from now when the machine inevitably hits a similar roadblock. I'm a fairly knowledgable nerd, and the prospect of being tethered to Toshiba anytime things get rocky is frankly unacceptable.  Simply put, I WANT MY BOOTABLE OS INSTALLATION MEDIA!  This is ESSENTIAL to repairing a truly troubled machine.  It's like they sold me a car, locked the hood shut, and now I have to ship it back to the factory for an oil change...
    My question:  Should my self-made recovery discs even be bootable?  Is the recovery media sold on this site  bootable (I ordered them anyway...)?  Must I buy a SECOND copy of Windows 7 to get a bootable recovery option? I WANT MY BOOTABLE MEDIA BAAACK!!! (Sorry for shouting.)
    Help?

    1 Shut down and turn off your computer.
    2 Do one of the following:
    If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first recovery
    DVD into your optical disc drive.
    If your recovery files are on a USB flash drive, connect the
    USB flash drive to your computer.
    3 Turn on your computer. When the initial screen displays, press
    F12.
    The boot menu displays.
    4 Using the arrow keys, select the DVD option or the USB Flash
    option, depending on which type of media you are using, and
    then press Enter.
    5 A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is
    executed all data on your internal storage drive will be deleted
    and rewritten. Click Yes to continue.
    6 When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the Selecting a
    Process screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default
    Software and then click Next.
    7 Select one of the following options:
     Recover to out-of-box state (recommended recovery
    method)—If you want to recover the original factory
    image
     Recover without changing the hard drive partitions—
    If you want to recover the C: partition only, leaving other
    partitions you have created intact
    Recover to a custom size partition—If you want to
    recover the C: drive to its out-of-box state and specify a
    custom size for the C: drive. Note: This option deletes all
    other partitions from the drive.
    8 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery
    process.
    When the process is complete, a message displays indicating
    that the drive has been recovered.
    9 Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.

  • From where can I get the Recovery Disk for Satellite P200-113

    Hi,
    Can somebody tell me where I can purchase a recovery disk for formatting my satellite P200-113, or is there any place to buy it in South Africa?
    Thank you, and expecting quick response

    Hello
    I don't know where you bought your notebook but if you have European notebook model please visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx and check if you can order it there.
    Other way contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. They can order it for you.

  • How can I get a recovery disk for Satellite P300-1CI?

    Hi everybody,
    first, sorry for my english, I'm a belgian and I speak french.
    Yesterday I bought a toshiba Satellite P300-1CI, when I started, I must installed Vista home.
    I would like to format my disk and reinstall my old Windows XP.
    My question is : How can keep an image disk with Vista? I don't have an installation disk of Vista and don't know my registration key of it.
    How can I have a recovery disk ?
    Can you help me please.
    PS : Sorry for my english

    Hi mate
    User manual is really interesting document and in most cases it answer all you questions ;)
    Anyway, the Toshiba recovery disk should be created before you would format and install on the HDD.
    You have to use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator application in order to create the Recovery DVD.
    Now to you other question;
    The Vista image which is preinstalled and placed on the Recovery disk (after recovery disk has been created) is activated already and you dont need to insert any keys or activate anything.

  • Re: Where can I get a recovery disc for Satellite P105-S921

    I made the mistake of buying my laptop second hand and it has so many problems i cant use it at all
    I dont have a recovery disc and thought that maybe that would fix my problems
    I am not very computer litterate
    thanks

    Hi!
    You can create the recovery disks with the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. Normally it is preinstalled on the laptop.
    If you are not able to burn it, you can order a new disk here:

  • Where can I get recovery media for Equium A100-549

    I need help please, I bought an A100-549 over the internet, it did'nt come with any recovery media.
    It now has a serious virus and I need to restore it. Where can I get recovery media for my laptop?
    Cheers
    perfecto

    Hi,
    where did you buy it?? On Ebay? If yes then you must contact the person which sold you the machine. If you have no chance to get such recovery, then you will have to contact a
    local ASP to obtain a recovery.
    If you dont want to obtain a recovery, and you have a genuine Windows copy lying around, then install it, download the appropriate drivers for that machine from the toshiba website and install
    them afterwards you installed windows.

  • How do I obtain product recovery media for my Satelite Pro A100?

    When I purchased my A100, I was not given any product recovery media. I assumed that it would be pre - installed on a partition on my hard drive. Seems not to be the case.
    I wish to resize my primary partition to enable me to install linux on the space that would then be available. Whilst Linux will do that for me, just in case there is an error, I need a copy of the product recovery media for XP and other pre-installed software. Toshiba's contact details on the site are hard to locate.
    So I wondered if anyone can point me in the correct direction? I am a UK user.

    Hi
    If the recovery disk was not shipped with the notebook, then you should be able to create an recovery disk using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I think you didnt read the user manual after you have received the notebook
    Anyway usually the Recovery disk could be ordered here:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But not all recovery disks would be available especially if the notebook series has been discontinued this means that you could not order a recovery disk if the notebook series is too old You could also try to contact an local ASP (service partner) in your country for a help and could try to order such disk there.
    Otherwise you have to use an original MS Windows disk all needed drivers are downloadable from the Toshiba European driver page.

  • I need recovery media for an old Toshiba but apparently can't order it. Help!

    The other day my TOSHIBA laptop - MODEL # PSM43U-01700P - must've got a virus or something because it started to slow and was unable to open some programs. Thinking the computer was about to go, i started saving my personal files onto a disk, and just after doing so the computer Blue screened and now upon start up it stops and says that it's missing a file <Windows root>\System 32\ ntoskrnl.exe and must have it added in order to continue. I of course, however, didn't realize that upon buying the computer years ago that i should have created my own recovery disks, thinking foolishly that the company would always have this media on hand to order should the need for it arise(Plus i doubt i would've done it properly since i'm not really a computer genius, surprise, surprise)
    Anyway. . .
    My problem is that when i tried to order the recovery media for this ancient model, i was told that Toshiba no longer carries this models media at all. So i was just wondering if possibly there's a similar model's media that Toshiba does carry that i'd be able to order instead of this model's that would still work with my computer. I was able to do this with an old DELL I had, and was hoping the same thing was possible with a TOSHIBA.
    I'm crossing my fingers here guys. Hope to hear back from you. I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • Recovery Media for Windows 7

    Hello everyone. 
    I want to buy a Satellite Pro L450-EZ1542.  The statement about the Operating System states:
    Genuine Windows® XP Professional (32-bit, SP3) with Recovery Media for Genuine Windows® 7 Professional.
    Does this mean that I will be receiving the "Windows 7 Operating System Disks" with the package.  Also does this mean that the computer comes with Windows XP Pro installed.   Thank you everyone. 

    That's what it sounds like.  You would need to contact ToshibaDirect to verify that though unless someone here has purchased one and knows.  This is just a bunch users helping other users, not official Toshiba Support. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Help!!! How to get the recovery time of transient response of a power supply with Labview basic package without analysis option?

    How to get the recovery time of transient response of a power supply with Labview basic package without analysis option? Does anyone have any idea or some similar function SUBVIs?
    Recovery time of transient response is defined as the time from the beginning of the transient to the voltage point on the waveform fallen into 10percent of the overshoot. Well, the waveform is something like a pulse with a soft slope.

    I recommend plotting your data on a graph on paper. Take a look at the data, and determine what is unique about the point you are looking for. Look for how you can teach your program to look for this point.
    I have written several algorithms that do similar, one in fact being for a power supply, the other being for RPM. Neither algorithm used any advanced analysis tools. They are just a matter of determining, mathematically, when you achieve what you are looking for. Just sit down with your graph (I recommend multiple copies) and draw horizontal and vertical lines that determine when you get to the point you are looking for. You are probably going to have to reverse the array and start from the end, so think in those terms.
    If you have trouble, emai
    l me a bitmap of the graph, and what you are looking for and I will try to be of further assistance. Don't do that however; until you you have given this a few tries. Your solution should be involve a lot of logic on analog levels.
    Good luck

  • How to get the last error for while loop?

    How to get the last error for while loop? I just want transfer the last error for while loop, but the program use the shift register shift all error every cycle.

    What do you mean by "get" and "transfer"?
    If the shift register is not what you want, use a plan tunnel instead.
    Typically, programmers are interested in the first, not last, error.
    Can you show us your code so we have a better idea what you are trying to?
