Problems with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Generator program

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro U400 laptop running XP SP3 - iyes t's old, but still running with newly added memory and a new battery.
I wanted to make a fresh set of recovery disks so I fired up the Toshiba app. It created the first disk fine. Then it prompted for Disk 2. So I put Disk 2 in.  It contemplated for a bit, it said it would now create disk 2.  Then, it prompts me again for Disk 2. There's no error message or anything. So, I ejected the disk and tried a different one.  Several times.  It just can't get past this to create disks 2 and 3.
I downloaded an "update" I found on the Toshiba site, but it didn't change anything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello
I think you mixed up something...
The hidden Windows partition (Recovery Environment) has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery disk or HDD recovery procedure. This is a Windows feature that is on all PCs and notebooks available so my suggestion is you read this good Wikipedia article about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_Environment
The HDD recovery files are stored on the second partition of the HDD in the folder HDDRecovery. So if you use the HDD recovery function only the first partition will be formatted and you can only use this feature if you have access to the advanced boot menu. If you dont have it you must use the Toshiba recovery disk because the disk formats the whole HDD and restore the factory settings of the notebook (the HDD recovery too but only with the first partition).
You can change the partition size of both partitions but there should be enough free space on both partitions. Otherwise the HDD recovery does maybe not work.
About the Vista partition tool I can prefer this useful article:

I hope you understand it better now and if you have more questions please let us know.

  • Re: Does partitionning cause problems with the Toshiba Recovery System ?

    I'm french so don't be afraid of mistakes !
    I wonder if I can repartition my HDD as I want
    First of all, I explain you what I've understood with the FAQ:
    If Vista fail to boot, Toshiba Recovery in the hidden partition WinRE ( eisa configuration) offer to repair and use either the DVD we have burn or the directory HDDRecovery in the partition E: to repair.
    My question is if I don't have the DVD (or if I lost it) :
    Can I repartition my HDD (not the Recovery partition but enlarge the partition C: en reduce the partition E:) without causing problems of recovery ?
    In other terms will the Recovery partition at boot update the position of recovery files in E:
    And if it works, can I simply copy-paste the HDDRecovery directory from E: to C: and then to E: while I format E:
    Thank you for your answers

  • Getting error and cannot download itunes.  says there is a problem with the windows installer package. a program required for the install to be complete could not be run.  any ideas?

    getting an error downloading itunes 64bit for windows 7.  says there is a problem with the windows installer package.  a program required for the install to be complete could not be run.  any ideas?  i uninstalled it last night when it would not open.

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

  • Problem with HP G62 Recovery Disks

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with restoring the operating system on an HP G-62 Notebook. When I first purchased the notebook I was unable to make the recovery disks, so I recently ordered some new ones from HP. Because I has installed Ubuntu on the notebook, I wiped it from the hard drive used Wipedrive to delete the old Ubuntu operating system I had installed.
     The notebook reads the first disk ok and installs part of windows, but when the screen comes on asking for disk number two it freezes up and never installs anything when you try to move anything on that screen it wont do anything and it wont install the second disk. It just keeps saying 'please wait'.
    Thanks, Robert
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi, Robert:
    I can't help you to get the recovery disks to work, but if you can read all 25 characters of the windows 7 product key on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own windows 7 installation disk to reinstall the operating system.
    Here's how:
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • Wrong Machine message with genuine Toshiba recovery disk

    I have a Sat  Pro L300 EZ1004X and ordered a recovery disk from Toshiba after giving them the model number and serial number. When I boot from the disk I get a "Wrong Machine" message with an exit button that just powers off the machine, there is no exit to DOS. Booting from recovery partition by holding down 0 does not work either, just some colors at the top of the screen. The laptop was refurbished at a genuine Toshiba service center. The recovery disks are labelled L300 series. The machine was running fine until attacked by the Alureon virus and now hangs at the Microsoft screen on boot. I want to wipe the disk and start again. Net research indicated I may need a DMI reset utility, but the one I found at the Toshiba site does not list the L300 models. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    "Wrong Machine" message
    You're right, Chris. If the recovery disc is the correct one, the DMI string in the machine needs fixing. Since the utility for that computer is not posted, you need to contact Toshiba. It's 800-457-7777 or..

    Hi !
    Thank you for your answer,
    I saw this but there is no way to change the subtitle setting.
    In "subtitle type" the only thing i can do is to swich from "normal" to "deaf and hearing impaired" ("sourd et malentendant" in french).
    So i guess i will have to get used to it
    Anyway, thank you for your help !

    DTS is an audio format, such as AC3 or mp4. This TV doesn't support DTS, so when i play movie (such as MKV file) with audio in DTS, there is no sound (but the video is ok).

    Since Apple says that some copy protected DVD's will not function with Disk Sharing, you may need to "clone" the DVD, using the MBP, to a flash drive, and use the flash drive to perform the installation of the software.
    Another alternative is to download and install the Trial version from the Microsoft Office For Mac website, and then use the activation code provided with the DVD to activate the full version install of the trial.

  • Installation problems with The Sims 2 (disk space)

    Hey, sorry to bug everyone but I have been having so much trouble trying to install The Sims 2. Whenever I try to open the installer it says..."Package Installer requires at least 1 MB of free disk space. Free up some space on your local disk and then re-lauch Package Installer"
    I am so confused, I got my macbook about a month ago and it is my first mac. I didn't think I would have to "free up space on my local disk" And if I do how do I go about doing that?
    Or am I just screwed? I thought if my macbook wouldn't run this game it may just be very slow because it couldn't keep up with the graphics, I didn't expect it to not even open the installer.
    Please help!

    I had this same thing happen. Its because you are trying to start the game from the DVD instead of the Harddrive as I recall. Make sure you are clicking on the icon in the Applications folder. It was a long time ago this happened to me and I forget all the details.
