Portege M400 Tablet Product Recovery DVD-ROM

Where can I get a set of Product Recovery DVD-ROM discs for my Portege M400 Tablet please?

Hi
Usually you can order the recovery disk using this page:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
But this page provides recovery disk only for the newer notebook series.
Im not quite sure if you will be able to order the recovery disk because of the age of M400
Anyway, the other possibility would be the ASP. You can get in contact with your authorized service partner and could ask for such disk
In worst case you will need to use an own Windows disk and the Toshiba drivers are downloadable from driver page.

  • Can I use Product Recovery DVD-ROM from other unit for my Tecra A2?

    My Tectra A2 has become so corrupted that I want to put it back to whn it was purchased. I can't find the Product Recovery DVD_ROM that came with it. But I have got the Toshiba A60 Product recovery DVD_ROM.
    Are they all the same or do I need the exact DVD_ROM for the TECTRA A2?

    Hi
    The answer is no. every recovery image is created separately and contains drivers for specific hardware infrastructure. Better way is to use Microsoft installations CD and later install all drivers, tools and utilities alone. All this stuff you can find on Toshiba download page.

  • Questions about product recovery DVD??

    Hi,
    after having experienced an unrecoverable boot failure with Windows XP Home Edition on my Equium A60-181 I had no choice but to use the product recovery DVD. I noticed there was something called expert mode I assume this lets you create a custom installation of the factory default. So I'm wondering is it possible to format the harddrive as FAT32 instead of NTFS create a partition for Linux and still use the product recovery DVD?? In case you are wondering I want FAT32 so I can safely read and write my XP partition with Linux since NTFS writing is still experimental at the moment.
    Cheers,
    Richard S.

    Hi
    If the second operation system (e.g. Windows 2000, Linux) should be installed, please change the CD-ROM to the "three of three" or "two of two". Please, see the Recovery CD-ROM.
    Drive "X" is the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. With the keys "Alt+i" and the up and down cursor keys, it is possible to change the drive letter. Select the "*.GHO" file. (e.g. GAR1ENP2.GHO) and press "Enter". The "Select source partition from image file" appears. For "OK", simple press "Enter".
    At the next window, it is possible to choose the Hard Drive Disk (HDD) on which the recovery file should be installed. Normally, only one HDD is in the machine. Just press "Enter". On the next window, it is posible to choose the partition on which the recovery file should be installed. If the HDD has no partition, the Recovery Utility will generate one. The size of this partition can be adjusted. The size field is marked, just insert the desired size in MB.
    Mark the destination partition and press "Enter". A question appears: "Proceed with partition load?". Choose "Yes" to start the recovery process.
    Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the Recovery.
    Best regards

  • Portege M400 & Tablet Multi Dock

    Hi,
    Toshiba does not include Tablet Multi Dock into compatible devices for Portege M400 notebook. Did anybody try to pair these two devices? What are the results?

    Hi
    I have found info that you can use follow Docker with your Portege:
    PA3508U-1PRP
    PA3508E-1PRP
    PA3508A-1PRP
    PA3508C-1PRP
    PA3508Z-1PRP (Express Port Replicator)
    Obviously Tablet Multi Dock is not listed as supported. As far as I know this Tablet Multi Dock is pretty old thing (about three years and it was designed for Portege M200.
    Bye

  • Satellite M40 does not read from product Recovery DVD

    Hey all.
    I have a bit of a problem that I hope someone can help me.
    My Satellite M40 notebook fell while it was in the bag and the dvd drive stopped working .
    I had it repaired and it plays cds but I can't get the recovery disk to work.
    It opens but for some reason the files are unreadable.
    When I try to press C after turning it on, the computer sounds like it is about to work but then the windows XP icon just appears.
    Can anyone help or offer advice? I'd really appreciate

    I just checked my dvd recording device Sonic and it is not there. The read me file and all are there but the actual program I cannot find. So do I need to download that?
    The Sonic and other additional tools are placed only on the Additional Software CD which should be delivered together with the M40.
    >How do I know which firmware is compatible or goes with my dvd drive? How can I check?
    As already said!!! The firmware could be found on the CD/DVD drive manufacturer site!
    I dont know what drive you have bought and I dont know the drive details!

  • Webpages freeze on Portege M400 tablet PC

    My company have three M400's and we all have the same problem. We are running XP professional. At least 50% of the time the screen freezes when viewing web pages. To unfreeze, I have to minimize and maxim\ise the page and the I can enter data. A typical scenario would be that I didn't realise the page has frozen until I click on a hyperlink and, although I hear the hyperlink click, nothing happens on the screen until I minimise and maximise. Once the screen has unfrozen, I can see that the PC has already jumpedto the new page but couldn't display it.
    This seems to suggest a problem with the graphics dislpay hardware/softare.
    Any thoughts as to what is going on? Anyone else had this problem? This is very annoying as our customer software is mostly web-based.

    I have had this problem of the M400 freezing repeatedly, when using the internet and otherwise. I do not think that it is a software issue. I was advised by Toshiba to remove the Intel Proset Utility and also try to remove the Adobe Faststart which I could not find. After removing the Intel Proset Utility, I have lost wireless connectivity at home. All other computers are fine except my Tablet. Grateful for suggestions and advice.

  • Portege M200 - Cannot access recovery console

    Hi,
    Yesterday my anti-virus software let me know a virus was trying to access my computer, had quarantined it and asked for a reboot of my Portege M200 to remove it completely. On rebooting, the notebook did not actually reboot and just hung. It gets past the Toshiba window and hangs. I have tried starting it in safe mode but to no avail. It starts loading files and hangs at a particular system file which is obviously now corrupt. I tried to get into my recovery console using Windows XP recovery disks but was unable to do so. The threads on this forum have been helpful however I have still not solved the issue.
    I have my product recovery DVD-ROM but I am scared to use it as the warning coming with it says that reformatting will lose all of my work and I am not sure if it will automatically reformat my hard drive (as I have no back ups of my work) or will I be given a choice? Also, I see from your forums that it will not actually repair any corrupt OS files. I have also seen files about making a ghost image to a floppy drive but I do not have a floppy drive on my Portege M200.
    Can anyone please provide me with steps to solve this issue as I am 11 hours trying to fix this but to no avail!
    Thanks

    Moment. In my last posting I wrote about Microsoft WXP installation discs and not Toshiba recovery discs. There is a big difference.
    Using Toshiba recovery disc you will not have repair option just option for clean OS installation (recovery image).
    Anyway, to start bootable disc you can try to use old good method with C button. Start your notebook with bootable disc in ODD and when you see Toshiba welcome screen press C button several times. That should force ODD to start as first bootable device.
    You can also start with F12 to enter boot menu.
    Check both options.

  • Can't open attachments in Outlook Express since using recovery DVD

    I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop on Windows xp. I had to run the product recovery dvd-rom as it was really playing up switching it self off and all kinds well thats sorted now and is back to running normal.
    The only problem now is, when i try and open an attachment in my Emails, it says this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
    Please can any one help has I have sat here for hours and still can't find a fix.

    It seems that you have lost your file associations.
    The easiest way would be to "save as" the attachment onto a folder on the hard drive, then right click the saved file a choose "open with". From the drop down list, select the apropriate program and check the box that says "always use this program". You will have to do that for all new file extensions as they come. Good luck.
    I did a quick search on Google for third party software that would automate the process and there is plenty.
    Just type: restore file extensions.

  • Satellite A60: keyboard doesn't work, recovery DVD can't run

    Hello,
    I have a serious problem with my A60: the keyboard doesn't work any more. I have tried a lot of solutions and the last one, recovery with the Product Recovery DVD-ROM doesn't work, because I can't use the keyboard!!
    When the screen with the 3 choices appears, I have no possibility to answer!!
    Have somebody an idea???
    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    They keyboard might not be the problem or it might not be connected properly to the motherboard the best thing to do is take it to a service centre it shouldn't cost you anything, if it is still under warranty...but if it is just the keyboard and your laptop is out of warranty then it should cost you more than 100-200....can't say how much exactly because I have no idea.

  • Portege 3500 Tablet Restore OS

    I need to restore the operating system to my Portege 3500 Tablet PC. I tried to install service pack 2 which just hung the system and now i cannot restore to an earlier date or install/uninstall anything of any use.
    I have the Product Recovery CD ROMs and a usb external Targus CD/DVD drive but i cannot boot to the CD in this drive by pressing the C on startup or F12.
    I notice in a response to another similar question that recovery must be from PCMCIA CD Rom drive. I dont have one and would be reluctant to buy one just to recover the OS.
    Can anyone advise please of any other way i can Recover my OS

    The floppy disk drive makes it possible to use the CD/DVD. You will need another computer to prepare the floppy.
    You will need IsoBuster http://www.isobuster.com/
    and WinImage http://www.winimage.com/
    or similar programs.
    1. Put the Recovery CD into another computer and run IsoBuster. Click on Bootable CD on the left and then on the right you should see an .img file of size 1.41MB on the right. On my CD it's called Arnes Boot Record.img. Right click on it and extract the file. Close IsoBuster
    2. Open WinImage and then File/Open this .img file. This will be your boot floppy with all the CD drivers you need. In Disk, ensure Use Floppy A: is ticked then Disk/Write Disk. Close WinImage
    3. Connect floppy and CD drives to your Portege, and boot up from the floppy. It will take some time to find the CD but it will and you will eventually get the recovery screen.
    That's it! If someone has no floppy drive but has an SD card then Toshiba's SD card program will put the .img file onto the SD card and you can then boot from there.
    Hope that helps.

    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.

  • Sun Virtual Box & Toshiba Satellite L10 - product recovery settings problem

    Hi-
    I had a problem a while back with my Satellite L10 and was unable to get full recovery settings after installing Sun Virtual Box and ignoring Microsoft warnings.
    I suspect this has now cloned my disk. Something is very very wrong. I am using Win 7 beta in the interim but would like my XP back.
    My notes to Sun Microsystems are here:
    [http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15106 ]
    Has anyone had the same experience or what does Toshiba recommend?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi -
    Thanks very much for the advice.
    It's really strange as the system runs through Win 98 options on booting the product recovery dvd but then gets you to a full & perfect toshiba L10 XP.
    I reinstalled XP and went through the process you mentioned above (F8 etc) after installing - at least my safe boot mode options etc. are there.
    My guess is that either the disk itself picked up on the cloning or something outside the HDD has been cloned or produced an 'image' of the previous HDD.
    If I want to get a new product recovery dvd (as a next step in my investigation) can I download from the net or do I have to order from Toshiba (is this a good course of action?...).
    My system can only burn cd's, but I could get someone else to burn a dvd for me if this is possible.
    Thanks....

  • Portege M400 recovery dvd - OS installation

    I'm very disappointed with toshiba recovery dvd. It install all toshiba tools, utilities without any possibility of choice. Does exist any way to install OS without the Toshiba stuff? Or is some kind of utility to "extract" just OS from recovery dvd?

    Nope. You should be able to build your own install media as long as the necessary files are in your windows folder. Look for a folder named i386. Find it and you are in the game. There might be others. Use Google to get more details. Even Microsoft has info on its pages. I did it myself on a m200 but I cannot remember all the steps. Just one thing: Since the tablet pc edition is nothing but your familiar xp pro plus tablet pc specific files, don't forget the folder \cmpnents\tabletpc\.
    As soon as you have collected everything, you can do either a pxe net install (as i did using i386/winnt.exe -2 to start Windows installation) or burn your own install cd (keyword: BartPE).
    Sorry, for not being more specific, but a clean install is possible.

    Can you tell me please how i can recover my notebook?
    Thank you

    Hi
    As far as I know the Portg 3500 dose not support any internal CD/DVD drives.
    Did you use an supported and compatible external drive to boot from the CD?
