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?

Satellite A205-S4617 Freeze after boot. HELP

I have a Satellite A205-S4617 freeze after boot. I have reformatted the harddrive and loaded recovery software, to no avail. I have run a memory test with no errors for at least 40mins. I have tried reading the hard drive outside to a different PC and it looks OK.
I initially suspected memory, but I tested and no errors on the test. Then, the hard drive i checked using another PC and it was OK. Next possibility is the motherboard, but i ran the memory test on the laptop and it worked without freezing....unless the memory test operation is not connected to the motherboard or not enough to test the motherboard. help.
I then tried running it using Ubuntu booting from the CD, and still it would freeze. So I don't know where to look for next.
HELP.
thank you very much.

I too would like to see suggestions on this. I am having the same issue with a couple of Satellite A205's, one is a -S4597 (32-bit), the other is a -S4607 (64-bit.) I have tried multiple operating systems, checked, and changed the RAM, and both system have good hard drives. I've completely torn down and rebuilt both of them, applying new thermal paste, and cleaning them, yet both freeze at about the same spot, while trying to initiize the operating system, after having copied the files over. I'm working on using other computers to install the operating systems on the hard drives, then installing the hard drives back in the machines, and seeing if that works.

Using Sothink video downloader, normally video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension. "Save file Type As" is peg only on .EBM extension

Using Sothink video downloader, normally by default my video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension & I can't open my video file. "Save file Type As" -to select file extension does not seem to work -

It's a WEBM video file. My solution was to rename the file to have .webm extension, and play it with the latest VLC Player (2.1, but I think any from 1.1 and upper will solve it too). Just associate .ebm with VLC didn't work. I had to rename the files so VLC knew exactly what that thing was.
By the way, it worked the same way with a .eam file (!), I just renamed the extension to .webm.

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.

Recovery disk assistant for Maverick

I installed Maverick without a hitch. I have Time Machine working. I want to create a Recovery Disk on a USB. I had previously done this under Mountain Lion using the Recovery Disk Assistant. When I open this program to create a new Recovery Disk (for Maverick) the program says
"The Recovery Disk Assistant creates a disk that you can use to recover your Mac OSX Lion system".
Since I no longer have OS X Lion, will this program still work?
Thanks
Doug

Re: I lost recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

Hi there, my son has lost recovery disc 1 for his Satellite P10.
We have got disc 2 (drivers) but not disc 1.
Where can we obtain another recovery disc 1. and what will it cost approx .
Message was edited by: merdat

Hi
Usually you could order it from the ASP in your country but Im not quite sure if you will be able to order such disk because the P10 is an older notebook series and possibly the recovery disks are not more available for this model.
However, you should contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.
Good luck

Recovery Disk needed for HP Touchsmart 1150

The link for ordering recovery Discs was there just a few weeks ago when I was broke. Now it's not there and when I call I continuously get routed to Gupta in India who tells me in broken english that it's not available and that because my PC was built in 2010 that they no longer "Support it" and the parts I need to fix it (Recovery Disks) are no longer available. This is entirely ludicrous. I hate HP for tricking me into spending money on their products and then they just drop you after the product has exceeded the life they determine is acceptable. I will never buy HP again.

I agree that there are no recovery disks for that model, and there aren't any from any other vendor.
However, you can make your own plain Windows installation disk and use the W7 product key on your PC to activate the installation.
Here is the link to download windows 7 home premium 64 bit ISO file. Download the one from the SP1 Media Refresh section.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Then use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a DVD or 4 GB usb flash drive.

After you install W7, install the drivers you need from your PC's support and driver page.

Windows wont start, Recovery Disk asking for another disk, only can with 2

My son was surfing the web when IE stopped responding. Window would not close so he held the power button until the laptop shut off. When he tried to start laptop again, could only get as far as the windows loading bar, but it would not load. After unsuccessfully trying a StartUp Repair we used the Recovery & Application Disk, holding down the C. After it appeared to run succesfully we got a boot manager missing error. So we tried the Recovery Disk again. Now it just continues to ask for additional disk but the Recovery Disk set is only two disk set. This is a L305-s5875 Satellite that we have had for about 11 months. If anyone has any suggestions we would greatly appreciate it.

Try cleaning disk with alcohol,with soft tissue paper.That is what i did to get disk to work.
Also try and hit start and F12 and then change boot menue to Cd/Dvd insted of hardrive
and then hold down c or try without holding down ckey.As a last try start cimputer and hold
gown the statr buton and 0 (ie zero) together for 1 min and see what happens.
Yours trily ,
Alex
P.S.Good luck

Trying to run the recovery disk on my Satellite A75

When trying to run the recovery disk on my A75 I get a message that it will not run on a non Toshiba machine. It looks like I'm missing some system files.

Hi
Do you use the Recovery disk delivered together with this notebook?
Are you sure youve got the right disk?
The other reasons could be a faulty or missing information in the DMI.
The DMI contains details about the notebook model, series number and other necessary details.
If such information is not correct then the notebook cannot be recognized as a Toshiba unit and therefore the Toshiba recovery procedure would be not possible.
Check this US page:

There you can find info regarding the DMI and Sat A75

where can I purchase a disk drive to replace a broken one

A reliable vendor is OWC. They not only have replacement drives, they also have installation tutorials and toolkits.

Ideal disk setup for MDFs, LDFs, TempDB, and cube files?

I'm about to build an enterprise SQL Server that will run both OLTP and our data warehouse (OLAP). What is the proper disk setup for data files, please? Is it something like:
1 for MDFs
1 for LDFs
1 for TempDB
1 for OLAP files
Or something close to that?
Thanks for any guidance.

Hi
The forum already contains such threads where notebooks freezes after 5 or 10 minutes of gaming. Did you read them?
At the moment its not easy to say what is causing this problem but first of all you should install the latest display driver from Toshiba. Dont use non-Toshiba drivers because they can cause this overheating!!
Make also sure that you are using the latest BIOS version and its useful to clean the notebook from to time using compressed air spray.

Installed CS3 symbol files are blank

We have Illustrator CS3 for Windows. We did not purchase the the entire suite just INDD, PHOTO, ILLSTR and ACROBAT. I tried to access the symbol files that are free with Illustrator. When I open say the MAP file, the pages are all blank. I checked the others and they are all blank pages. I recently viewed them at a seminar and they were available. The path is ZZ:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Presents\Symbols\.....
Can anyone tell me why the software would have been sent with blank pages? Is there a setting I am not seeing?
KEN PANTHEN, Albany, NY

Did you access the Symbol files from Window>Symbol Libraries>(list). When you open one of the files directly, you need to look at the Symbol panel (Window>Symbol) for that file. All the Symbols for that file are located there. The file is just a way of making a library available.

Newly installed features after SP2 are older version. Can I run SP2 again without stopping database?

All,
I have a SQL 2008 R2 SP2 (10.50.4000) server running in production for some time. I'm setting up a new application (DPM 2012 R2) which requires Reporting services be installed on the database server. I installed the feature today on the SQL server,
but it's running at version 10.00.1600.
I need reporting services to be at SP2 for DPM to install. If I were to run the SQL server SP2 patch again, will I have to reboot or stop the production databases?
Thanks.

Hello,
Build 10.00.1600 is SQL Server 2008 RTM, not SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM (10.50.1600). You need to upgrade reporting services to SQL Server 2008 R2 first then apply
SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
I would like to share with you the following link also:

Satellite 1400-104 freezes after starting main softwarepackage

Hi,
It concerns a Toshiba Satellite 1400-103 (512 MB memory). On booting the Satellite works fine, no problems with surfin or mailing, but when I start a main softwarepackage (like MS Word of Excel, or Macromedia Dreamweaver), the PC freezes after one or two minutes.
I have the impression that the fan suddenly starts turning and the computer freezes. The only thing I can do is shut down by holding the startbutton about 10 seconds, and restart.
I already reinstalled Windows XP, but after two weeks the same problem occurs. My Antivirusprogramm works fine and I check every week on spyware and malware.
Does someone have a clue about this problem?
Thanks

Hello
Like you can see it happens just if the some complex applications started and in the moment where the processor must run with very high speed. In this moment the processor produce a lot of warmness and it must be cooled properly. If the processor temperature is too high the unit will be shut down or freezes because of protecting the processor.
In my opinion the unit should be cleaned from dust and after that the processor can be cooled properly.
