OS X 10.5 recovery DVD

Hi everyone,
I recently obtained a first series Power Mac G5 (1.6Ghz, 768MB of RAM), and I have to say I like it a lot
despite the outdated hardware and software constraints.
As a good geek, I fixed it and I am enjoying using Tiger, but I'd like to upgrade to Leopard.
Is there a way to order a 10.5 recovery DVD?
Thanks very much in advance.

If desired, you can phone the online Apple Store and ask if they have it in stock.

Satellite U400-183 - Need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

Hi there,
I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a Win OS DVD that came with my other Notebook from an other manufacture and the Key which came with my Toshiba notebook. Everything worked just fine but in certain areas of Windows still are some specific settings from the other manufacture. Now is there a possibility to get a Windows Vista DVD from Toshiba?
Another question is where I can get the AHCI drivers. There is only a exe file on the support site which i can't use while installing Windows. There have to be these .sys files but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.
THX in advance!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany...

Hi!
A new recovery DVD you can get from your local ASP (authorized service provider).
Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
The AHCI drivers or lets say Intel Storage Manager you can download from the Toshiba website as you already said.
The .exe file you must extract to use it during the installation but with the recovery disk you dont need them.
Please read the readme file in from the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use he command line
For example: -A -A -PC:\<path>
Bye

Satellite U400 Impossible to create recovery DVD with Recovery disc creator

Hi,
I have a Satellite U400 (few years old), and I never created the recovery DVD.
Now I want to do it, but for some reasons, when I launch Toshiba recovery disc creator, nothing happens...
The partition with the recovery files is there, as well as the folder HDDRecovery. I did add some files to this partition, could this be the problem ?
Thanks for your help.

It is big problem now if the Toshiba tool cannot find the files.
How it works you can read on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=140985
Check it out please.
What you can try now is to check if HDD recovery installation will start - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm but Im afraid the same problem will occurs again.
To be honest you should install Win7 32bit on this small Satellite notebook. It works perfectly. Forget original Vista OS, Win7 works better.

How can I boot from my recovery dvd to reach the system recovery C: on a extern hard disc

I think a have a virus in my notebook Pavilion 15 and want to restore my C partition with a system back up. I made this system back up a month ago and it is stored on a extern hard disc. I have also made a recovery dvd. How can I boot my notebook from my dvd to start the procedure? I have 2 partions on my notebook. The second partition contains My Documents.
Thanks in advance.
Tineke

It is unlikely that the back-up of the system recovery, that you have stored on an external drive, will be useful in recovering your computer. Please see HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), for instructions on using the HP Recovery Disc set your created earlier. Typically, the disc set is 4 to 6 DVDs.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

How to repair corrupted xp files with the Toshiba recovery dvd pkg

Hello all, my Satellite a105-s4054 has some corrupted xp os files. Please advise on how to repair only these files using the recovery dvd pks included with my sytem. I would rather not have to do a complete format and install. And it is now obvious which of the individual files listed should be replaced to repair the corrupted files.
Is there way to just replace the corrupted files?
Thank you

Can't figure out what is wrong with recovery DVDs

Last year, right after turning my laptop ON, I've created 4 DVDs as such: http://i56.tinypic.com/6i79rn.jpg
Recovery DVD Disk 1
Recovery DVD Disk 2
Recovery DVD Disk 3
Windows Recovery Environment 64-bit
My Laptop is Qosmio F60-14R, with Windows 7 Home Premium.
Now all I want to do is format my laptop and re-install windows 7 Home premium using those 4 DVDs. However I can't figure out why I cannot re-install or get the laptop back to the factory state.
This have wasted 8 hours straight of my time and frustrated me by great deal. Can you kindly tell me what I have to do? I am lost!

Here is what I have done so far:
I inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
First thing that loads up is a window with two options:
- Toshiba Recovery Wizard
- System Recovery Options
Taking Toshiba Recovery Wizard as choice, clicking Next.
It asks me: "Please set 1st Recovery Media and press Next to Continue.
So, I insert Recovery DVD 1 and then click Next. However it ejects the disc drive (seems Recovery DVD 1 is not the correct Disk!).
So I repeat the same process with Recovery DVD 2 and Recovery DVD 3 and again the Disk Drive ejects the Disks.... As a desperation attempt I even put the Windows Recovery Environment Disk inside but that as well get ejected.
Okay, so the Toshiba Recovery Wizard is not the right choice 'it seems'.
So, I restart the laptop and inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
First thing that loads up is a window with two options: (First choice failed, now trying second choice)
- --Toshiba Recovery Wizard--
- System Recovery Options
So, choosing System Recovery Options this time and clicking Next. I Choose US as Keyboard, then click Next. A small window appears which gives me two further options:
- Use Recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an Operating System to repair.
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
So, I already tried the first choice and it takes me to another window with several recovery tools. One of the tools is System Image Recovery but when I click it, it gives a Warning messagebox that says:
Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. etc.
But when I insert every disk, still the warning messagebox shows up as if all the four recovery DVDs are irrelevant.
So, it seems the first choice doesn't lead me anywhere. So, remains the second choice:
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
Turns out it is exactly the same 'System Image Recovery' from first option mentioned few lines earlier. So, there you have it, checkmate.
Please guide.

NO Lenovo Windows 8.1 Recovery DVD for CLEAN INSTALL! + unable to Install UEFI MODE

Hi,
I Just bought 25 Thinkpad T431s Laptops for my company (@ISRAEL)
All of them came with windows 7SP1 Installed And Recovery is Windows 8 (not 8.1 even though 8.1 is out for a yr!)
The Install process takes 3 Hours!!! Just for upgrading to windows 8.
Then I need to upgrade to 8.1 - the process is about 3 hours more! Because I need to Register And create Microsoft account for each user then to verify the account.
After that I need to Log with the account to the PC And then Download the update (3.5GB) And Install it.
IS ANYONE AT LENOVO THINKS THAT ITS ACCEPTABLE?
DO I WORK FOR LENOVO? DO I NEED TO SPEND 6 HOURS FOR UPGRADING EACH LAPTOP?
Don't forget that after that I need to uninstall all the bloater from the PC. Like Symantec AV (Because Enterprise company's uses Enterprise Class AV, FW And other software. We uses Kaspersky Enterprise, ESET, And others...)
AND ABOVE ALL.
If I want to Install Original Windows 8.1 I can't!
Because the OS Recovery DVD is not bootable And contain special recovery files with special extensions. Also, there is no PRODUCT CODE! Just "WINDOWS 8" sticker logo on the back of the notebook.
SO I WANT TO KNOW WHERE AND HOW(!)
I CAN GET A WINDOWS 8.1 ORIGINAL ISO IN ORDER TO INSTALL IT ON ALL MY PC's.
I want to know why I can't Install Just the "OPERATING SYSTEM RECOVERY DISK" (A standard clean Install)
== When I tried with my own Windows 8.1 Pro VL \ RETAIL ISO to Install it didn't pass activation==
==================== not even with the extracted key from the bios=====================
FYI - WHEN I BUY DELL OR HP LAPTOPS I'M GETTING A WINDOWS 8.1 PRO X64 BOOTABLE DVD DISK in addition to the 2 DVD RECOVERY DISKS. (So I am able to Install windows Without all the that you And them put into the recovery disk set).
Customer service in ISRAEL said that this is not possible! And that the only way is:
1. Use the 3 DVD recovery disks to format And Install windows 8.0
2. Register the user with a Microsoft account
3. Log in to each PC with his own Microsoft account
4. Download 8.1 update from Microsoft store
3. Install the 3.5GB update.
4. uninstall all the bloater.
So can I please ask you to confirm the answer I got from LENOVO ISRAEL. If So, ill return the laptops And that will the last time ANY OF MY COMPANY'S WILL EVER BUY ANY NOTEBOOKS OR TABLETS FROM LENOVO!
In addition, im trying to figure out how can I contact Lenovo main office to file a complaint against Lenovo Israel.
CEO Ms. Sigal didn't do anything to try And solve the issue, the product manager Mr. Many talk with me on the phone And was very rood. At the end he hang up the phone in my face! After I proved him wrong in another issue (T440s T431s cannot be installed with UEFI Because External DVD drive does not support UEFI Install only Legacy. And there is a big different between Legacy And UEFI)
Thank you.

Hi ohad, welcome to the forums,
I'm sorry to read about your experience.
I don't work for Lenovo but it would appear to me that something may have gone wrong at the sales / purchasing stage; to my knowledge the T431s is only available with Windows 7 preload, (with Win 8 recovery discs in some cases as you have), or with Windows 8 preload. A Win 8.1 preload doesn't appear to be available for the system, but I stand to be corrected on this. If you required Windows 8.1, in my opinion the better option of the two, would have been a system with the Win 8 preinstall as this would only require updating to Win 8.1
Unfortunately I also can't envisage Lenovo creating a factory image for the T431s because it must be pretty near end of life.

HP 4540s will not activate windows 8 from HP recovery dvds, please help

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my HP from the harddrive to a new ssd I bought. As far as I know windows 8 is supposed to activate based on the code burned into the machines bios, so I bought some hp recovery dvds online as HP recovery manager no longer seems to ship with these machines, so I couldn't make one, and reinstalled windows 8 onto the machine. After install and connecting to the internet the activation failed, it said the key was blocked. This can't be, this machine came with windows 8 preinstalled, so it must have a valid key and license I've already paid for.
I've tried burning reinstall media using the microsoft media creation tool but that too fails once it connects to the internet to validate the activation
I would prefer to fresh reinstall, I'm not even sure the drive I took out works anymore or isn't altered at this point, plus its larger than my ssd so cloning would be a problem. And I've also read of problems cloning windows 8 secure boot installs regardless. In any case I would like to some how be able to get this recovery to work.
Can someone from HP please help me.
Thanks.
This question was solved.

Windows 7 Pro recovery DVD for T420 laptop?

Can you get a recovery DVD from Lenovo for the T420 laptop. I created the recovery media, and then had the OS remove the recovery partition after the creation of the discs. I just found that there is a problem with the disc and can't restore the system now.
CAn I get a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit DVD from Lenovo if I provide a reciept, etc. so I can re-install the OS on the laptop?? EVen if I have to pay a small fee, that's fine. I'd don't want have go buy another copy of Windows for this computer, which I've only had for about 2 months, and I frankly don't have the time to make a warranty claim (if I even can).

Lenovo will sell you a recovery media set for the same OS that shipped on your laptop. IIRC, it will cost around $50US.
I've had a couple of cases where burned recovery media was defective and the laptop was still under warranty - and support sent media free. I can't speak for them, but give support a call either way.

One thing to try if you're willing to gamble $.50 worth of plastic: if a burn is marginal (rather than just wrong) it can sometimes be read in another drive. Put your bad CD/DVD in another machine and see if it's readable. If it is, copy and try the copy in your ThinkPad. It requires a bit-for-bit copy - not just copying the files.

Satellite A105-S361 Recovery DVD not booting

Hello All,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S361 series laptop. A week ago it had a virus and I thought to backup the data on the disk and reinstall that. I plugged out the HDD from laptop and plugged that into a SATA USB Interface to backup the data on my desktop and formatted the disk on my desktop using windows disk management services( I have windows XP on desktop).
Then I plugged the disk back into the laptop and inserted the recovery DVD (which has Windows XP home) and switched on the laptop while pressing 'C' key so as it could install it back to factory default.
A blank screen shows up displaying "Checking boot CD room". It runs for some 20 mins, the DVD ROM's light blinks and I can hear the CD revolving sound like its reading the CD, but after 20 mins it displays the error "No bootable CD found in ATAPI CD-ROM" and a cursor blinks on the screen.
I have tried other bootable cds, a couple containing windows XP and one containing WIndows Vista but same result for all. I have tried to change the boot sequence from BIOS and the F12 technique to display boot menu...
Any help
Regards,
Talha
Muhammad Talha

Well I have already cleaned the lens of the CD ROM. In fact this is the very first thing I did, it's a DVD-RW in good condition.
Tell me one more thing, is there a possibility that I could make a bootable USB and boot the system with the help of that, i.e. I copy the contents of the DVD Recovery in USB and boot the system with the help of that.
I did make an MS-DOS bootable USB but then found that the BIOS has no option to boot from a USB device. It only boots from one of HDD,FDD, CR-ROM or LAN. Or do I need to update BIOS first, if there is an updated version available for the A105-S361 series, to boot it from a USB device.
Thanks,
Talha

Satellite A105-S3611 Recovery DVD won't boot - reverts to HDD boot

Satellite A105-S3611 Recovery DVD won't boot - reverts to HDD boot.
My laptop has had a virus but is now clean but has some lingering effects. So I decided to use the Recovery and Applications/Drivers Media to reinstall the system to factory settings. Pressing the "C" key at the Toshiba screen did not work to choose the boot divice but pressing F12 did work. The problem is the system still boots using the hard disk. I've gone into the boot process and changed the order of boot devices to make sure the CD\DVD drive is chosen first but it does not boot from the CD/DVD. It looks like it begins to read the DVD but the boot process is not executed from there.
Questions:
1. Can I install the system using windows explorer to execute the autorun.ini on the CD/DVD?
2. Is there another option for getting the system to install from the CD/DVD?
Thank you in advance
Roger

I read somewhere on the forum that updating the BIOS may solve the problem. So I updated the system BIOS from v1.40 to v2.0. Then I reinserted the newly purchased recovery DVD and the boot process began with the DVD booting but ended with the message "WRONG MACHINE".
I ejected the recovery DVD that I just purchased and inserted the recovery DVD that came with the machine. This time the machine booted and installed the factory image of the operating system as it should have the first time.
So I am now recovered and the machine works as it did originally. So the moral of the story is you don't necessarily have to buy the new recovery DVD but just update the system BIOS and then try to use the recovery DVD that came with your machine.

is ther anyway by which i can boot through iso image using pen drive?

You can still order a usb recovery media thuimbdrive from HP. The cost is quite reasonable.
Since you have not identified your notebook with a complete product number I have used information from another to help you. Follow the instructions on the document at the URL to order an HP USB recovery media flashdrive for your notebook.

Recovery disc and recovery procedure cannot be used under running operating system.
When you switch your notebook on press F12 button to enter boot menu, put the recovery disc in optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD drive in menu and press Enter.
Recovery procedure will start. Just follow the menu on the screen.
Before you do this back up all your important data.

Can't boot from hard disk or from windows 7 recovery dvd

I have a 970A-G46 motherboard.
I can't boot from hard disk or from a windows 7 recovery dvd.
If I move the hard drive to another PC, it boots fine.
If I put the DVD in another PC's dvd drive, it can be accessed.
This machine will boot from an Ubuntu dvd and I can then access the HD directories and the recovery dvd.
What do I need to do?

"I can't boot from hard disk or from a windows 7 recovery dvd."
What is that DVD from? Is it from a previous computer of some kind? Same question for HDD and the OS on it.

Recovery dvd from Lenovo

How much does a recovery dvd from Lenovo cost and is it different from dvds made thru One Key Recovery? Alos, How do I reinstall windows on a laptop with RapidDrive? thanks

Hi,
Here is a partial answer to your questions, and it is based upon my experiences of about 2 years ago.
My R500 Thinkpad came with a 32 bit version of Windows 7 professional, and I wanted to upgrade to 64 bit, so I ordered the 64 bit recovery DVD's from Lenovo and they charged me $50 at the time.
The DVD's you create with Rescue and Recovery are not the same as the ones you get from Lenovo. They both will create a "factory image" but the content is different.
When you create Rescue and Recovery DVD set, the first one created is a BOOT DISC. That first disc you create can be either be to a DVD or a CD. Either works equally well, although Lenovo hints that the first one should be a CD. I have always used a CD, and recovered systems with no problems.
When you make a set of recovery media using Rescue and Recovery, you do not create an "Operating System CD", and this is normal. When you get a set of recovery CD's/DVD's from Lenovo, you will always get one that is labeled "Operating System CD".
The different sets go through different recovery processes, and Rescue and Recovery needs to know which type of set you have, so it can perform the correct process. It does this by asking the question "Do you have an operating system CD?" Based on the answer it performs one process or the other, and expects different contents on the CD's/DVD's that are presented to it. You cannot mix the DVD's up between the two processes. If you tell Rescue and Recovery that you have an operating system CD (i.e. provided by Lenovo) and present it with media created by you using the "Create Rescue Media" process, the recovery will fail.
I hope this helps.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with RapidDrive.

do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
