Patient Survived Surgery! P505D-S8930 Recovery Disk (Vista 64) Needed for Rehab!

After 9 months of dedicated service, my Toshiba laptop suffered a "hard drive attack" last week. Fortunately, the hard drive transplant surgery was a complete success.
The patient now has a new hard drive installed, and I have ordered a recovery disk from Toshiba, but the ETA is next week.
Toshiba chose not to honor my request for an expedited mode of delivery (overnight shipping, file download, etc.) to enable the laptop's "rehab" to begin this week.
My laptop is really anxious to "get back to business". An extended vacation on a repair shop shelf is not really the rehab the technician recommended.
Can anyone offer assistance in helping me to get my laptop "back on its feet" sooner?
Thank you.

If you know someone who lives near you with a P505D from the same model family with Vista 64 you could more than likely use their Recovery Disks to restore your system. The other options would be to:
Install Linux and be up and running in the time it takes to download the ISO and about an hour to burn the disk and install it.
Take the plunge and upgrade to Windows 7 and do a clean install of it.
Acquire a Vista Install DIsk, install Vista, then use the Product Key on the bottom of the laptop to validate the install.
Create a set of Recovery Disks as outlined in your Users Guide from the original hard drive.   This only works if you do it when you first purchase the laptop and is designed specifically for this situation of a hard drive crash. Once the hard drive crashes this option is no longer available to you.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

If I'm using FCE:
1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
Now PC, going to a MAC user soon Windows XP

Hi(bonjour)!
As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

Purchased recovery disk Vista for Satellite A205S4607 install freezes after files are copied

I purchased the recovery disks for Vista for Satellite A205S4607. I had XP professional installed, but I could not find the drivers needed so I decided just to buy the disks.
I insert the disk, hold down C as it is booting. The cd runs, and copies over the files, but once it gets to the status bar, the install freezes. I let it "run" all night and it never came to an install screen.
Any suggestions?

It sounds like it's likely a hardware failure in the laptop itself. Were you having problems previously?

I asked before about getting a set of recovery disks and how much for my HP Pavilion a6863w!

Hi, I asked before about getting a set of recovery disks for my HP Pavilion a6863w. It was answered and a link was provided on where to get the recovery disks. However, I was wondering if there was an upgrade set of those recovery disks that had windows 7 or even windows 8 for that matter. I don't know if thats possible but I would rather have windows 7 atlkeast since hp is outdated and my HP has Vista but Vista is the next on the chopping block to be un-supported and eventually discontinued. Any and all help and suggestions are welcome. Thanks
This question was solved.

Hi,
Sorry, you cannot obtain an HP Win 7 Recovery disc set for your PC because it shipped with Vista as the factory installed operating system.
Win Vista is in extended support until April, 2017. Win 7 is covered until January, 2020.
You would have to purchase a Win 7 OEM setup disc from an online vendor.

Recovery disks that I ordered for my Toshiba L300D-ST3501 will not work

The reovery disk #1 starts, loads files, cursor comes up and that is as far as it goes. I even let it go for the whole day and nothing, it just stays at the cursor. I need help.

It sounds like there may be a hardware failure with your laptop. You may want to seek servicing.

Disk Utility - repeated need for minor header volume repair...

Hi...
Three times in the last week and a half, Disk Utility has reported "Volume header needs minor repair". Each time, I've dutifully started up from my Tiger install CD, and successfully repaired the problem. On at least one of the three occasions, I also ran Disk Warrior and rebuilt the disk directory. Today, the same volume header problem is being reported again.
I've had similar minor disk problems in past, but the repairs always 'stuck' for some while. I'm thinking it's time for an archive and install (at least), but I'm wondering if others have run into the same problem and found alternate remedies.
I routinely run Onyx for maintenance and cleaning, by the way.
Is there anything else I might try before the archive and install? And/or is a complete reformat in order instead?
Data is backed up as of yesterday.
Thanks for any/all suggestions.
Peter B.

Allan... thanks.
When running Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc, is anything reported as being successfully repaired?
If I recall correctly, yes... the specific volume header.
I typically re-verify when I boot back to my startup drive, and initially get passing verifications... then (only recently) within days (sometimes hours) the header problem is reported again.
I don't normally check in with Disk Utility more than (about) once a week... but since the problem has recurred, I am of course checking more often.
I have never had this recurring problem before. Reports from Disk Utility have been almost always 'in the green' - i.e. successful verification.

How much disk space is needed for scratch files?

I hope I am allowed one dumb question. If so, I would like to know how much disk space should I allow when setting scratch files, if my MTS file is 16GB? I am using Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC with Windows 7 Pro-64 bit.

how much disk space should I allow when setting scratch files
All of it. Put them on a large disk (500GB or more) and just let PP take care of the rest.

How to Continue Creating Recovery Disks after Updating Window 8.0 to 8.1

My laptop is hp 2000-2d62nr notebook pc (energy star) S/N: 5CG342027W
I might mess up the HP Recover Manager as follow:
I was attempting to create the recovery disks for the HP Window 8.0 laptop. HP Recovery Manager needed 5 disks. After 2 disks made done, I left my laptop for two hours. Then I returned to my laptop and saw Window to ask me to update Window 8.1. And I updated it to Window 8.1.
After Window 8.1 update done, the system had been restarted. When returning to HP Recovery manager, it asked me to continue the third recovery disks. I selected "Continue". However, Disk 3 verified failed at 15%, the pop up window asked me to use another disk and try again. I attempted second times by restart my laptop. again, Disk 3 verified failed at 2%,
How do I clean this mess and make a 2nd set of recovery disks?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Best Regards,
This question was solved.

I called the above phone number. Tech Support told me to charge $40.00 for recovery disks. I complained this and they transfered me to 877-917-4380 to talk with Case Manager. He agreed sending the recovery disks with no charge

Equium A210-1C4: Winload.exe problem after using product recovery disk

Hi There
I Could really do with some help here. I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 Laptop. Partitioned drive with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.
Last night I used the product recovery disk supllied with the laptop to try and restore it back to its factory settings.
and the end of the process I'm left with a cmd prompt box with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 from ODD to C:\!
Press any key to continue. That box dissappears then another one with Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
waiting for ODD to become available...
ODD Drive F: ready.
check for medium in drive F:...
Failed to initialise the raid class.
No RAID - continue normally...
X:\windows\system32>
Now whenever the laptop tries to restart it just comes up with the error message:
WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
CAUSE
FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE
STATUS: 0XC000000E
INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
IS MISSING OR CORRUPT
Below I then have the option to esc or continue both with the same outcome of system trying to restart.
The recovery disk has no repair option on it.
please help, I haven't a clue.
thanks

Hi
It looks like something went wrong during the Recovery procedure.
Did you try to recover the notebook once again?
If not you should definitely try this!
You are right; the recovery disk hasnt a option for repair because the recovery disk is not the same like a MS Vista disk. The Recovery disk contains the image files (its a package) and the files contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
Therefore if something went wring during the recovery procedure, you will be not able to repair the OS installation but you have to run it again.

Equium A210 171 What info do i need before i use the recovery disk?

Hi,
I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, haven't used it before.
On the back of the recovery disk envelope it says "insert the first disk"
I'm assuming there should be a second?
Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
All i have is a black and white sticker that's on the side of the box it came in, but that was so long ago.
I'm having lots of issues with windows installer not running and many others,
Windows updates won't work either and i've tried to fix those but a clean reinstall of the os was recommended.
Now at this point nothing will install because windows installer won't work.
So i think i wil lhave to attempt a clean install, but i'm not even sure the cd drive will work.
I have gotten a great run out of this laptop, bit slow for my needs today but over all great product, bought in 2007.
With a clean os and 4 gigs of ram this thing could last for years more, can't afford a new one right now.
I have really tried to avoid using a recovery disk in the past, as i've never had any serious issues till now.
Thanks

Im wondering why you get such disk together with your notebook why? Because I did not get the recovery disk but I had to create one using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator software
But my notebook is newer than your A210 this might be the reason why you got such disk
I created a recovery disk and I needed two DVD disks I think these depends on the image file size
> Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
This is not needed because your system was already activated.
But I recommend to backup your personal data because the recovery disk would format the whole HDD and you would lose the files.
PS: recommend reading the other threads in the Product recovery forum!

Product Name: HP Pavilion g6-2006tx Notebook PC... Require a recovery disk for Windows 7 Home Basic

Sir,
The recovery disk that was prepared for my Laptop has been corrupted and is not functioning. The laptop shows an error message as 'BOOTMGR.EXE is missing'. Whenever I use the disk, it starts off well but it stops after 13% of the installation is done. There is no recovery partition in my laptop as it was deleted after the recovery disk was burned.
All this started when I wished to format my Laptop and reinstall the operating system.
I donot wish to install any operating system other than my original supported WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC. So, if you could send me a recovery disk of the same, it will be very helpful. Any other details required shall be provided.
Your hasty attitude in this matter would be highly appreciated.

This is the procedure for recovery disc's.

This is where you look to see if there is the option to order recovery disc's for your laptop.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5239...
NOTE: If you cannot find an "Order Recovery Media" section, select another operating system from the drop down list until you find a "Order Recovery Media" section or you determine that a Recovery Media section does not exist in any of the operating system selections. If you cannot find a Recovery Media section for your computer model, HP does not have a recovery kit available.
Sorry.

Usually you need a compatible and supported external drive which should be recognized by BIOS.
PS: On the recovery CD you will find only the image files and not a completely OS.

Can i make bootable usb of already made recovery disks?

i have hp pavillion dv4 series laptop.I have already made its recovery disks,which i need now.But my cd/dvd reader is not working,so i want to make bootable usb of these three disks.Can i do it or is there any other way for me??

sawsank,
had it been obvious, I would not have asked the question. In a number of discussions here, people will often mention details that are not relevant to their goal, which is why I’d asked for clarification.
A Boot Camp partition can only be created in an internal disk, so Boot Camp can be ruled out in pursuit of your goal. (Once created internally, it won’t be bootable if it is subsequently made external.) Short of virtualizing Windows 7 in one of your four bootable OS X partitions, I don’t know the answer for how you can achieve it.
