How to use recovery disk with external ODD?

Hello,
I need to recover my Toshiba laptop using original Toshiba recovery dvd, but my internal dvd ram doesn't work, so how I set my pc to look for external dvd ram when the windows is starting? I followed the instructions and hold the C button when started computer, but when I press F12 doesn't matter which drive for boot I select, my pc just starts windows...
Thanks for your help. J. Hlavsa

Hello
What notebook model you have exactly?
Normally you can restore the factory settings from Toshiba recovery disk or if you use the HDD recovery option. To use the HDD recovery option you have to go in advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair My Computer and follow the screen instructions.
If you can boot from external CD/DVD drive is depending on your notebook model that you have. Normally you can find more information in user manual about this.

    To use recovery disc is very simply.
    Just do the follow:
    - Start your notebook and press F12
    - When the boot menu is shown put recovery media into optical disc drive
    - Choose CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
    - Follow the menu on the screen
    - There is nothing you can choose or set. Just follow menu steps and confirm with OK
    After recovery image installation leave notebook to complete installation.
    Please note: recovery procedure will erase whole HDD and all saved data will be deleted. So, before you start installation back up all your important data.
    Thats all!

  • How to use recovery disks to get rid of hdd password?

    I got this compute and it's asking me to put in the built in HDD password, which I do not have so I purchased the recovery disks. I did what it said but didn't do anything? Help me please!

    Hello
    The recovery disk will not delete the HDD password. Recovery disk will just reinstall Windows with all drivers and tools (factory settings) but not delete any HDD or BIOS password. Of course the Windows password will be deleted due recovery installation but thats all.
    You should check this article:

  • Using Boot Disk with external monitor?

    Does anyone have any idea how to boot from the OSX install disk while using an external monitor?
    My powerbook screen and HD are both busted and I can't install the OS on the new HD. I can get to the point where it has booted up and is using the external monitor as a second screen but I can't see what I'm doing! HELP!

    Do you have another Mac at your disposal? If you have installed a new HD into the PB and need to put an OS on it, you could put the PB into firewire target mode and attach it as a second drive to another Mac. You can then install an OS onto it.
    It might also work that, when you have the PB booted and the external monitor is acting as the second screen, close the lid and put the PB to sleep. Then, wake it up by plugging in a USB mouse or keyboard and the external screen should become the primary screen. You need to have the PB plugged into the AC adapter to perform this trick.

  • Portege R500-11Z: Using Recovery Disk to prepare a new HDD

    I have bought a new hard drive (SSD) for my R500-11Z and I have put it in an enclosure with USB cable prior to installation - I want to be able to format the drive and create a clean copy of Windows XP before taking out my existing hard drive.
    I have been looking for ways to use the recovery disk and it LOOKS like it should be possible... EXCEPT...
    I have worked out that on the recovery disk there is a executable called recoUNPACK in the Tools folder, which should in theory restore the contents of the disk to the hard drive. However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up it gets a folder called System Volume Information written to it. The presence of this folder causes the recoUNPACK to fail. It gets to 59% each time and then throws the error - System Volume Information already exists.
    Anyone suggesting deletion of the folder should consider their knowledge of XP - there is no way to do this, ask Mr Google if you don't believe me. I have also tried this with full write permissions of this folder so that, in theory, recoUNPACK could overwrite...
    I would be very grateful if anyone knows a way of 'forcing' overwrite of the System Volume Inofrmation folder or another way of 'restoring' the recovery disk to my new hard drive (other than taking the laptop apart and physically replacing the drive!).
    I have looked at various options for setting up a bootable USB disk, but as I'm going to fit it within my laptop I don't want to run any odd versions of XP - hence using the recovery disk that came with my R500. All the bootable USB programmes that I can find only allow fat32 format, and I'd like to stick to NTFS...
    And the reason I want to do it this way is that I want to continue using my existing hard disk until the new one is ready - its supposed to be an efficient way of working... but so far the time wasted trying to restore the disks might have been better spent undoing the screws on the back of the machine!
    Thanks in advance

    > My question is about how to use recoUNPACK.exe via USB external drive, not how to set up a new ssd within my r500.
    Im not expert in recoUNPACK.exe. I dont use it simply because there are other, easier ways to backup and restore the system.
    > - its not just operating system, its the other software that I need to load and update.
    Sorry but I cannot follow you now... the Toshiba image contains the Windows system, Toshiba drivers and tools.
    But it does NOT contain the 3rd party software you have preinstalled on the notebook.
    So even you would be able to unpack the Toshiba image on the external SSD drive, you would need to install all the 3rd party software / tools which are already available on your HDD. This would definitely NOT decrease your down-time.
    In my opinion if you want to decrease your down-time, I recommend creating an image backup of your partition using the Windows 7 tool backup and restore
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/backup-and-restore
    This backup could be saved somewhere on an external medium.
    After a short system installation (using recovery disk) on new SSD drive, use the restore option to get the same system status back.

  • How to use recovery dvd on new hard drive, install window 7

    hello, i have trouble with my laptop. my hard drive got bad sectors and now i need to replace my hdd to new one. im not sure how to reinstall window 7 on my new hdd.
    is it possible to install operating system on new hard drive using recovery disk? and how?

    Hi,
    Yes, recovery discs will work on a new hard drive, but it's generally best to ensure that the replacement drive is of the same capacity ( slightly larger is Ok ) as the original - recovery discs can have issue when used on a drive that has a smaller capacity than the original.
    When you have replaced the HDD, all you need to do is as follows.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. 
    Insert the 1st Recovery Disc. 
    Select Boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter.  You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
    You will be prompted to insert subsequent discs as required.

  • Problem Using Recovery Disks!

    Hi,
    I have a Hp Pavilion m6-1045dx machine.
    It came with windows 7 pre installed.
    the first thing i did was to create the set of recovery disks, so it created a set of 5 dvds recovery disks.
    the system was going good. I cleaned out my harddrive and installed windows 8 in it.
    now i installed win 7 again,recovery partition is still in the harddrive but it is not working now. I tried to recover using the recovery manager inside the base.wim file after extracting it but it says that i have already created a set to recovery disks, i should use them to recover the system. When i use recovery disks, it gives an error that the set of recovery disks cannot be used on this system. 
    How can i recover now?
    Please help.

  • How to use recovery files in recovery partition in hp dv6 notebook in windows 7

    i am trying to recover my notebook to factory settings without using recovery disks in windows 7.
    but using whenever i try to recver from the system recovery file in control panel, when the computer restarts it says that there is no bootable media or recovery disk.
    while using recovery manager, it says system recovery is disabled try using recovery media creation but recovery media creation says that recovery media has already been created once and it cannot be created again.
    whenever i open the recovery file in the partition hard drive it says, this partition is for recovery donot alter or delete this partition. it has covered about 10 gb space but whenver i open it the file is empty and hp logo appears with instructions that its is fixed for partition donot alter it.
    can anyone tell what to do?? 
    This question was solved.

    Having the hdd in Dynamic state breaks Recovery function. Converting bck to Basic should not delete your data...unless the data is on the extra partition you need to delete in order to get the hdd back to Basic.

  • How to use Oracle partitioning with JPA @OneToOne reference?

    Hi!
    A little bit late in the project we have realized that we need to use Oracle partitioning both for performance and admin of the data. (Partitioning by range (month) and after a year we will move the oldest month of data to an archive db)
    We have an object model with an main/root entity "Trans" with @OneToMany and @OneToOne relationships.
    How do we use Oracle partitioning on the @OneToOne relationships?
    (We'd rather not change the model as we already have millions of rows in the db.)
    On the main entity "Trans" we use: partition by range (month) on a date column.
    And on all @OneToMany we use: partition by reference (as they have a primary-foreign key relationship).
    But for the @OneToOne key for the referenced object, the key is placed in the main/source object as the example below:
    @Entity
    public class Employee {
    @Id
    @Column(name="EMP_ID")
    private long id;
    @OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
    private Address address;
    EMPLOYEE (table)
    EMP_ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME SALARY ADDRESS_ID
    1 Bob Way 50000 6
    2 Sarah Smith 60000 7
    ADDRESS (table)
    ADDRESS_ID STREET CITY PROVINCE COUNTRY P_CODE
    6 17 Bank St Ottawa ON Canada K2H7Z5
    7 22 Main St Toronto ON Canada     L5H2D5
    From the Oracle documentation: "Reference partitioning allows the partitioning of two tables related to one another by referential constraints. The partitioning key is resolved through an existing parent-child relationship, enforced by enabled and active primary key and foreign key constraints."
    How can we use "partition by reference" on @OneToOne relationsships or are there other solutions?
    Thanks for any advice.
    /Mats

  • How to use my itunes with a new pc

    how to use my itunes with a new pc?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
