Is the Vista Upgrade Disk from Toshiba a Recovery Disk or a normal Vista Upgrade CD?

Hello,
My status has now moved from COA Validated to POP Validated so I wondered how much longer it would take for the shipping. Also has anyone received the disk or know whether it is a Recovery Disk or a Upgrade Disk.
Surely they would have to lock it to Toshiba computers only? How exactly does it work?
If anyone knows please post :)
Thanks,
Stephen

Contacted Modus via phone today and my status has changed from COA to POP/COA they explained that means that all checks are ok and card details have been confirmed. They gave a possible delivery date sometime mid March and to just keep checking the site for the date as it will be posted. They said there is no need to do anything else. Hope this helps those waiting.

How to get Vista Installation Disk from Toshiba?

I've been working with Microsoft support to resolve a security issue on my Satellite Pro A210, and have now been asked to use a Vista installation disk.
Microsoft says that I am entitled to an installation disk from the original supplier of my kit - Toshiba. But one did not arrive with my laptop - only a recovery disk was supplied.
How do I go about acquiring a Vista installation disk from Toshiba?
Regards,
Kevin C.

Mores is right. Toshiba doesnt offer installations CD with operating system only. you will get recovery image.
Recovery image definition:
+Recovery Image is an exact copy of a computer's hard drive and contains the exact, byte-by-byte copy of a hard drive partition.+
+The copy includes all the partition information, boot sectors, the file allocation table, operating system installation and different application software.+
+Using Recovery installation CDs/DVDs, you can restore your system after heavy data loss caused by an operating system crash, virus attack or hardware failure complete.+
+Recovery image installation procedure allows the user easy and fast system installation. Unfortunately it is not possible to restore only certain files from a disk image.+
+Every recovery image is designed for one specific notebook model and it can not be used for any other notebook series.+

Recovery Disks From Toshiba

I'm considering ordering a recovery disk from Toshiba for my Satellite L870D P/N PSKFQU-00D007 so that I can re-install Windows 8 clean. I purchased my laptop from ToshibaDirect. I can't make my own recovery disks because my hard drive has already been reformatted. Does anyone have experience with this? Will the disks I get from Toshiba have all the files and drivers I need for a complete reinstall of the OS?
Solved!

Satellite L870D-ST3NX1 (PSKFQU-00D007)
When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media everything is restored. It's not like installing Windows.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 57 of the User's Guide.
Satellite/Satellite Pro C800/L800/S800 Series User’s Guide
Be sure to follow these instructions when you upgrade to Windows 8.1.

I have compaq cq50. was VISTA upgraded to WIN 7. Recovery disks not working. BOOTMGR compressed

will not boot up. I have 2 recovery disks, the 1 of 2 will take but 2 of 2 disk doesnt run.

Hi:
If you are trying to use the Vista recovery disks and they are not working, and you can read your Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, then you can make your own Vista installation disk by reading the guidance below.
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them an my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

Re: Satellite U400-11Q with Vista has new HDD but no recovery disk

Hi,
Before I start a very important message: I usually don't work with pc...:-) At my work we have an IT-department for our PC's :-))
However, now I have to work privately with a PC/ notebook and I need help: I am sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11Q with a completely newly formatted HDD and unfortunately with NO recovery CD or DVD whatsoever !!
So far I have managed to format the HDD aagain and to put a WindowsVista Home Basic (OEM Software) from my old pc onto this notebook. However, nothing works yet ( I want to get into the Internet etc.)
Therefore I now need to put on all relevant drivers as well as the original TOSHIBA drivers, right ?
How do I do this ? Which drivers to I need ? Do I need to download all relevant drivers (totally 113) one by one from the Toshiba website ?
ANY help is appreciated as I can see myself spending the whole night in front of this PC..
Thanks,
M

Hi Dr.Lamp,
thanks for helping me with listing the drivers as well as giving me a recommendation on the use of Windows 7.
Re Windows 7, unfortunately I only have a "free" VISTA Home Basic at home and therefore I have used this operating system for tonight ! I want to get this PC/ machine running as well as possible as quickly as possible...just unfortunate that its a PC with the need of "thousands of drivers"...
If anyone in cyberspace is interested in reading about my HUGE problems with simply setting up a computer newly, I can at this point simply recommend to you PC fanatics:
Please do put onto the internet decent driver packages to download for somebody like me in a bulk !!! why make life so difficult ? How the hell will I get the right order of driver packages ( which you are listing) on to this PC if I have:
- no idea where to find the drivers you mention ( I have to google every single one of them)
- I have already bought a "recovery DVD from Toshiba, but which takes up to 14 days to arrive and costs about 36 EUR
- I just want to get the computer up and running properly with all licenses legally acquired !
So here I am after about 12 hours of woring on this thing as a newbe:
I have so far this evening managed to firstly install a network driver ( I also had an old VISTA resource DVD at hand) after somehow installing some "recommended network drivers" ( by this recovery DD).
This way I managed to get the wireless LAN connection up and running which is a huge success, because I can now download drivers form INTERNET directly onto the computer.
Currently there is an installation running of Windows VISTA including about 120 updates for this VISTA, so I am busy on these updates...I am nowhere close to the 50% installed mark so I probably will have to get some sleep now and continue tomorrow with you list as well as finding your drivers and installing them in the right order ! What a drag ?! Well, somehow these PC's just cost you TONS of TIME..
Anyway thanks for you help and if you can give me a hint on a shortcut, I would be very happy to hear about it.
Thanks

Can't recover XP from partition OR recovery disks

Lenovo 3000 N200 with XP.
I've been trying to do a system recovery back to factory settings using the the boot recovery option at startup.
It took 3 attempts (2 crashes) just to get XP back up and running, but it was completely blank with no software or drivers and no internet connection to download drivers etc.Just the lonely recycle bin icon in the corner. Well this is uesless I thought and decided to have a go with the recovery CD's instead. When the first CD has done it's thing it asks for CD number 1, which I put in, and it tells me it's the wrong CD. I have tried all the CD's I have and they are all the wrong CD apparantely! So I was going nowhere with that method and decided to revert back to the initial boot method. Only that is completely messed up and now asks me for disk 1 which doesn't work.
So now my laptop is knackered with no way of reinstalling XP from either the boot menu or the recovery disks. I've even tried installing XP from an official Windows XP disk and it's not having that either!
What can I do? Ask Lenovo for a set of recovery CD's? How much would that cost? And would they even work?
Thanks for any advice
Message Edited by bobtheblob on 10-03-2008 04:50 PM

if you call Lenovo up you may still get the recovery media (probably cost around 30 pounds), otherwise you need to download an XP iso from web or borrow a XP cd from your friend and your own serial number on the bottom of the laptop, and then you download the corresponding drivers from lenovo.com. If you use your own XP then you won't have your own predesktop area like you use to. h

Burning disks from MBA using Remote Disk

Several posts have been made related to being able to burn Optical disks from the MBA using the Remote Disc feature.
So far all I've been able to perform using Remote Disc is for reading software Installer discs such as the Apple's Mac OS X DVD Installer disc and $MS Office:mac 2004 Installer disc.
Any attempt to write/burn an optical disc using Remote Disc has been unsuccessful.
What does work (as you would expect to work) is the Toast 8 Titanium's ToastAnywhere feature. Having Toast 8 installed on both Macs it's possible to launch Toast 8 on the MBA and have access to the optical drive on another Mac with Toast 8 installed. I've successfully done this several times for burning optical discs. I used my MBA and my PowerMac G5's SuperDrive.
I assume the reverse will work where the PowerMac G5 could access the MBA's $99 SuperDrive for burning optical discs.

Remote Disk is generally used to share a CD or DVD drive to install things across the network so you don't have to buy a SuperDrive. To get to a shared Windows drive, you have to set up Sharing. Windows uses SMB (Simple Message Block). Search support for documents on sharing with a Windows PC. Many of the Mac 101 and Switching documents discuss this also. If the drive is shared in the Windows on the same subnet (you might have to designate a workgroup on the Mac, don't remember) it will appear in Finder on the Mac.

Recovery from computer generated "Recovery Disks".

I have a notebook G62-340us with Win7. At bootup on the splash screen I have been getting a message that states the hard drive is going to fail etc. I replaced the drive with two new drives ( seperate occasions) but the computer generated recovery disks hang up . the first drive accepted the first recovery disk and hung at 18 % on the second disk. I replaced that with another new hard disk and that hung up at 23% of the first recovery disk . I replace the original disk and the machine still works with the same message but the boot to the desktop takes 8 mins. I realize that this disk may have Virus or spyware problems also but my main concern is not being able to "Factory install" onto the new disks. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

What's the Part Number for an IdeaPad S12 recovery disk?

Hello,
I have an IdeaPad S12 (NVidia Ion). The recovery partition is gone. What's the part number for the recovery disk?
I mainly work with ThinkPad systems and Lenovo has an excellent part number system that covers just about every part you could imagine on a ThinkPad laptop. I assume Lenovo is also using this or something similar for it's consumer-line laptops. Sadly, Lenovo doesn't treat it's consumer laptop line with the same dignity as the ThinkPad line, and no customer support agent would tell me the part number, so I'm resorting to the forum for finding it.
Please help.

Hi and welcome,
the ideapad as consumer-line has no part list ....as the thinkpads have...

Recovery Discs failure is frequent, and unfortunately has many causes. Some things to try that have worked in other cases.>>
1-Enter BIOS and reset to Default settings. Usually it is F9 key,check bottom of screen to be sure. Next F10 to Safe & Exit. Run Recovery again.You can attempt it from the partition now instead of Discs if preferred by tapping away at the F11 key at start up.
2-Scroll down on the page and get> Bootable CD ISO and> ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd-a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, boot from it. Delete any hdd partitions, create one and format. Next try booting from Recovery Discs again.

I can't get the installer to show from my CS2 install Disk-is it because I updated to OS10.4.1?

My hard drive crashed on my power pc mac mini. I replace it with a used (recycled) drive and the Apple Store installed Tiger 10.4. I tried to re-install Adobe Creative suite 2 but the install icon is not showing up when I try to install from CD's. Is it because 10.4 no longer allows CS2?

I guess it might be so...

Getting New Hard disk from Toshiba for E45t-A4100 . Do I still need recovery media

Hi,
My hard drive crashed and after the online troubleshooting was directed to go for a new hard drive which I did as the laptop is in warranty.
However I am asked to get a recovery media too(as I do not have one created earlier).
My query is will the new hard drive not come with windows preinstalled. What extra will the recovery media have to help me. (Sorry if the questions sound dumb)
Thanks
Dr. Manoj Yadav
Solved!
Go to Solution.

New hard drive is blank, recovery media is needed.
If the drive you have will load in safe mode you could try to burn your own recovery media, if not you will have to order recovery media.

Can't load Vista from factory recovery disks?

I have an X200 running XP. The X200 was delivered with XP installed and Vista recovery disks. I wanted to see how Vista performed so I decided to load the Vista from the factory recovery disks. There are 3 disks...Disk1 Start Recovery Disk, Disk2 OS System Recovery Disk, and DIisk3 Applications and Drivers Recovery Disk. I have an external Lenovo DVD drive and the BIOS is set to boot from this first.
I placed Disk 1 into the drive and rebooted. The system loaded and the Rescue and Recovery program came up, did it's thing, and asked for Disk 1 to be inseryed. Well, Disk 1 was already inserted but I ejected and re-inserted it - it said this was not the correct disk. So, I figured Disk 2 might be "disk 1" in this context but it didn't like that one either coughing up the same incorrect disk message. So, only disk 3 is left so I tried that too, same results.
OK, what am I doing wrong or might Lenovo have include incorrect disks.
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks
*Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

There is a chance that the discs included is not suitable for your model type or the discs itself are bad, call Lenovo and ask for another set.

Is the Vista Upgrade Disk from Toshiba a Recovery Disk or a normal Vista Upgrade CD?
