Is it possible to slipstream Recovery CD that came with Satellite A40?

Hi, Good day to all of you...
I need help about my recovery CD. Is it possible to slipstream my Recovery CD that came with my laptop?
It has XP SP1 and i want to slipstream it with SP2.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

Hi!
Its not possible to integrate a SP in a Toshiba recovery disk.
A Toshiba recover disk is not the same as a Microsoft CD. Its an image about the factory settings with an installed Windows and all drivers and utilities. Its not an installation disk like the Microsoft, because you can use the Toshiba CD/DVD only on your notebook.
I hope you did understand me and if you have more questions, let me know it.
Bye

  • Can't create a factory recovery disk using the recovery partition that came with my computer

    When I push the Q: recovery drive> Create recovery media, I get a message saying 
    "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\factory recovery\recovburncd.exe'. Make sure you types the name correctly, and then try again."
    How do I go about fixing this and creating a recovery disk?

    You can purchase replacements from AppleCare:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
    However, you might want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard - $29.00 at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store. This may actually be less costly than purchasing replacement discs, although the replacement discs will have the Apple Hardware Test that is not going to be on the Snow Leopard DVD, nor will any of your pre-bundled software.

  • Not possible to start applications that came with X-FI Plati

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with all the Creative software that came with my new X-FI Platinum (that i bought today). Whenever i start an application (like audio console or THX console) i get an error message that no compatible audio devices are found on my system. I've installed my X-FI with the CD that came with the product, and also tried to update my Audio card to the latest available drivers.. i even tried th new X-Fi drivers from Windows update
    Before this card a used an Audigy 2 SZ (which worked perfect btw, but i want to move to Vista soon so that why i bought the X-FI), which i de-installed properly and removed all software before installing the X-Fi.
    Could it be that there are leftovers somewhere that conflict with the X-Fi Creative software suite?.
    I hope someone can help me out.
    To summ up what system i have:
    Intel Core 2 duo @ 2.4ghz (E6600)
    Asus P5W DH deluxe MB/ Bios 707
    2048Mb Mem
    nvidia 8800GTS
    Aegea PhysX card
    WinXp sp2
    Directx 9c (june 2007)
    Thanks, Ramses

    Ok.. apparently the driver which i downloaded from Creative was somehow not compatible with the applications.. i removed all apps and driver and sweeped my system with driver cleaner.. also de-installed the F-XI from hardware manager.. reinstalled all apps + driver from the installation CD and now it works.. Creative apparently uploaded a driver to my region (europe/netherlands)which is not suitable for the X-FI platinum.

  • How do i recover the drivers that came with the delivery? (Dolby problem after 8.1update)

    Hello there community!
    I have a burning question.
    I recently bought a thinkpad edge 540. Which came preinstalled with windows 8.
    When i updated to 8.1 I lost my dolby audio, this seems to happen a lot more, reading through this community.
    There is a solution for that, to just reinstall the audio input and output device with the drivers that came with the delivery. However, and here is my problem.
    In the solutions given, they are talking about a section on the hard drive that should contain the drivers. In most cases E:\DRIVERS.
    Unfortunately, thats not the case with me. I know there is a recovery partition, but i cant see it within windows.
    I used this to reset to the factory defaults already, but i cant find a drivers section.
    Im hesitant to update again to 8.1 now, because it gave me several issues. One of them was the intel wifi driver, which was hard to resolve in the beginning, but also now the DOLBY audio.
    Can anyone tell me, where to find the drivers? or is it just not possible?
    I dont have a drivers section, or partition on my hard drive anyway..
    Can you guys please help me out? Since i like the dolby feature, and it would be a shame to not be able to update to 8.1. (safety issues and features).
    I know there are more people encountering this problem, but the solution to just use the preinstalled driversection.. is not an option for me, sadly. Or perhaps I am wrong..
    Any help is greatly appreaciated! Thanks guys!

    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:

  • I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

    I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
    Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
    I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
    Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
    If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

    The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
    If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
    Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
    This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

  • Lost windows vista cd that came with laptop

    Hey guys,
    i own a t500 and i have lost my windows vista cd that came with it. I had planned to reformat my computer. What are my options to get a new copy of this cd? and lets say i wanted to upgrade to windows xp or 7, then which version would I need?
    Thanks a ton guys, i appreciate it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You probably made your own recovery discs for the laptop using the Rescue and Recovery restore disc creation wizard, which only allows you to make one copy of the discs (unless you made additional copies afterwards).
    You can buy restore discs from Lenovo for Vista, but I would personally just go up to Windows 7; it's significantly better than Vista. If you were to upgrade to 7, you COULD get a set of Vista restore discs + a Windows 7 upgrade disc, or you could just go straight for a retail, full Windows 7 disc. (There are ways of getting an upgrade disc to work without having Vista installed; you'd need the OEM CD-Key on the sticker under your laptop, assuming it hasn't been worn away).
    If you want to go back to XP, you could go for Vista/7 Professional with XP downgrade, which is more roundabout than the Vista+7 update, so you're better off getting some sort of XP restore discs or a retail copy of XP.

  • How can I know if the software that came with my mac is valid or pirated?

    I recently purchased a MBP that came with numerous amount of really expensive software like Adobe Masterclass Collection,Logic 9, Key Note, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro and many more. How can I find out if this software collection that came on the mac are valid or pirated. Is there a app that can scan my mac for serials or to verify the apps? If infact they are legit purchased, how can I put them on my other mac? or is it even possible. For example, Final Cut Pro and logic are from Apple. Could they Verify them?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately, there's not a way to check if they are original or pirated. Also, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro (if it's Final Cut Pro X) and Logic Pro, if they were purchased in the App Store, don't need a product key. My advice is to delete all those applications, and purchase again the applications you need with your Apple ID in the App Store, if they are available there.
    That's because you will have problems to update them (as they are registered to the old owner's Apple ID) and you can't use them legally if you haven't purchased the applications

  • Install Snow Leopard from CD that came with MacBook Pro to different Mac

    I need to re-install Snow Leopard on an older MacBook of mine I want to clean out for my wife.
    The problem is the Snow Leopard CD (family pack) I purchased months ago is scratched, damaged I believe by an iMac at my business. I want to see if it is possible to install 10.6 from the CD's I recently got with my new MacBook pro. I tried to use them in the MacBook (Intel) I'm trying to hand off to my wife but after I selected the language option I got an error message stating I couldn't install that disc on the computer. It already runs 10.6 so I know it's not an OS issue. Is my MacBook detecting that the installation CD is not the same one that came with it?
    Sorry for the wordy post and thanks in advance for any help.

    From what i can tell, the media contains only the necessary files to install to that model-specific hardware.
    This is both for licensing & technical reasons. Licensing because that disc is licensed for use only with that specific Mac (not model, literally just that Mac) & technical because pre- & post-install scripts & other installer features on grey system discs are designed just for that model.
    Curious. I know i've used system restore discs from one machine on another due to the fact that we used to - for reasons unknown to me - allow users to keep their restore discs, at which point they subsequently lost them.
    Perhaps it's just older models that allowed it?
    No matter. Thanks for the clarification.

  • Utilities tells me to restart computer with operating disks that came with MacBook where are they

    We have three MacBook Pro 13" in the house.  I've never seen operating disks come with any of the products, What gives?  Trying to run a Utilities Disk Check because of a possible HD problem.  I the instructions are clearly written to "use your Mac OS X installation disk" ???? Where do I find such a thing?  We're stationed in Moscow I don't have a Genius Bar at my disposal.

    There is option you lost your disk? if you did, than you have to buy a backup disk from apple store.
    If you have Lion opration system than you can hold Command + Options (alt) in the secound you clicked the power button to open the disk utility that came with your computer.
    If you sure you didn't got any operation disk, than contact the Apple Express Lane located in here: https://expresslane.apple.com
    Good luck.

  • Upgrading iMac to Leopard using Leopard disk that came with Macbook Air

    I recently go a Macbook Air. I would like to use the Leopard install disks that came with the Air to upgrade my Intel iMac. When I try to install using the Air install disks I get an error saying that the upgrade is not possible.
    Not sure if its not possible because of certain configuration restrictions or maybe I'm not supposed to upgrading because of copywrite restrictions.
    Thanks,
    Joel Simkhai

    No problem Rodney. I an understand your frustration with the issue.
    Hopefully this reminds you that education is probably the best way to combat piracy. The second best way, in my opinion, is to give consumers one of the options what they want - the ability to download software, movies, music, etc without cumbersome restrictions. Probably doesn't make sense for most people to download a whole operating system-but the day is approaching. Personally, I think the future of installed software that needs to be manually upgraded are numbered. Instead we'll probably see the operating system and all needed software customized for the user hosted on centralized (hopefully encrypted, secure, backup-ed and private) servers.

  • Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...

    I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon.  I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed.  I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around.  WPA4D would not recognize it.  Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it.  Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
    What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon?  If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing?  Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
    Thanks,
    Eric

    It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
    A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
    If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

    My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

    An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.
