How to restore the Satellite L25 - where to get Recovery disk

Hi..
I wanted to format my hard drive on my L25 laptop which currently has Win XP, but am not sure if I ever got a recovery CD/DVD from the person I bought it from.
Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) would contain an image of the recovery disk or if I can get a recovery disk from somewhere or any other way to format the disk and reinstall the original contents of the laptop?
Would greatly appreciate if you could reply back.
Thanks.. Amare

Hi
Usually the older Toshiba series were equipped with the recovery disk and the Toshiba image is placed on the recovery cd.
If you have a recover disk then you will have to boot from such disk to start the recovery procedure.
If you dont have a recovery disk then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the OS and the necessary drivers could be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page.
This is a US notebook and you have to search on US page for drivers.
Greats

    If the iPhone was jailbroken, you get this error due to baseband mismatch. No help for such iPhones here in this forum.
    if not, Restore on another computer. If error persists it is hardware failure.

  • Satellite L300D - Where to get Recovery Disc?

    My Grandson's L300D has got a damaged HDD which I want to replace for him.
    However he doesn't have a recovery disk and the recovery file on the original HDD are not accessable.
    Does anyone know if there is a recovery disk available for this model?

    Hi sisgen,
    > he doesn't have a recovery disk
    Its really hard to hear such things
    Why? That means you and/or your grandson didnt read the user manual. The user manual contains a lot of interesting informations and also about Toshiba recovery disk. You can find the information, that you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator.
    Anyway, now you should visit the Toshiba page for ordering a new recovery disk.

  • Portege 3440: Where to get Recovery disk & drivers

    Firstly hello to everyone,
    This is my first post and i'm afraid it concerns a bit of an oldey.
    I have come into the possetion of a Portege 3440 netbook with the external fdd and cd drives.
    The problem is the cd drive works via the network card port ( i think it's pcmia?)
    I'm a silver surfer so not to sure.
    Does anyone know where i can get the system disk for this machine and how to go about installing relevant drivers etc,
    I am hoping to get it up and running using win2k but would revert to win98se if nescessary.
    Sorry this is so long winded but hope you can help me.
    Grateful thanks in advance to all.

    Hi mate
    This is very old notebook machine and Im afraid you would not be able to order the recovery disk for this notebook.
    You will need to install the Windows OS using a Microsoft disk.
    On the Toshiba European driver page you will be able to find drivers and software for this notebook.
    You need to choose Archive in Product Type because the old drivers are placed in Archive.
    There you will find USB-FDD Driver. When connecting the USB floppy drive to the notebook there will either be prompted for a TEAC driver (mainly Europe) or a YE-data driver (mainly Asia). Please check which of the two drivers you require by connecting the floppy drive to the notebook in order to download the right driver.
    You will also find Companion Diskette. The Companion diskette contains programs to configure Toshiba computers with setup information and to test the hardware. It also contains files and utilities that allow you to get the most from your Toshiba computer.

  • ALPS pointing device - how to restore the scrolling function

    Until a couple of days ago, my mousepad allowed me to scroll. I've tried looking at the settings in control panel/mouse but the options have disappeared.
    Is it a driver issue? If so, which driver should I download, and where from?
    The current driver is:
    v5.3.203.18
    and was created 17/07/2003
    If it's not a driver issue, does anyone have any suggestions on how to restore the scrolling function?
    Many thanks :)

    Thank you for your replies :) Unfortunately, I can't rollback as system restore has been turned off as well as all the other odd things that have been happening.
    Eldorado, I'll give your suggestion a try :)
    Once I've uninstalled and rebooted, will the laptop definitely find the driver automatically when it starts up?
    I'm worried that it won't, and that I won't be able to use the computer...

  • How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?

    How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?
    I have Yosemite 10.10.2 running on a 2008 iMac
    I have an iPad MD513B/A running version 8.1.2
    On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,  and iTunes is 12.0.1.26
    I used to be able to sync photos from iPhoto (last 3 Events) through iTunes to iPad. 
    Where has that option gone?  iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that.  So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks. 
    I can sync from iPhoto to my Classic iPod but that option has been removed from iTunes for the iPad by the look of it.  I want it back so I can manage what I download to my iPAD.
    Please can someone advise me how to restore the option to sync my recent photos from iPhoto to iPad. 

    Where has that option gone?  iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that.  So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks.
    Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPad? Switching on the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) disables the syncing of Photos with iTunes.
    On your iPad check the Settings > Photos&Camera.  Disable "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)", if you want to sync your photos with iTunes or upload your photos using "My Photo Stream".
    On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,
    Is there a reason why you did not update to iPhoto 9.6? That is the version, that includes the compatibility updates for Yosemite.

  • How can restore the ipad is disabled.....

    How can restore the ipad is disabled.....

    Hi,
    just thought I would put my two cents worth in.
    I recently had an 89 year old friend disable her ipad and so as she had never backed it up to iTunes etc, had to do the system restore.
    This stuck on me several times and despite using the steps in:
    Read This: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    It got to a point where after the 80 odd minutes got to - Processing file please wait - well after waiting over night and still no joy and trying other pc's in case it was the PC, I resorted to ringing apple care. They were great..
    It turned out that the file had actually downloaded but hadn't extracted. So what we did was simply take the lightening cable out of the ipad and as I put it back in, instead of just holding the home key down, held the on/off switch down at the same time as well as the home key ( a bit of juggling to do all three at the same time) but then the iTunes screen changed to say extracting and from there away it went. The apple logo came up on the ipad and it restored as normal - maybe about 20 mins. Whilst we lost all previous data, it was not a big deal to get some back from the app store etc. But If I had thought or known to try that step it may have saved me about 5 hours of wasted time.
    So if this can help anyone else you then great.

    i forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    This will tell you how to restore

    You will probably need to use recovery mode
