Re: Cannot create Recovery DVD

Hello,
here i m again.
The seller told us to create a recovery-DVD (CD).
I go to Toshiba-files and click create recovery CD and the programm "told" me to insert 1 from 2 empty DVD.
I ve done.
But after a while the laptop ends/cut writing.
It cant write E:\Boot\fonts\chs-boot.ttf (second message, i try one before, message i not remember, but something like the second)
So now i cant create the recovery DVDs
Whats to do now?
thanks for answers
Toshiba satellite L550D-13V P***SE (* = i not remember -you can see exact at my other question about Catalyst)

Hi,
The seller told you a good advice. You should do it. I recommend you to try a high quality dvd-r medias like Verbatim or Tdk. You see, dvd creator doesn't accept ,,low quality,, medias.

Any help would be appreciated,
i am loathe to buy discs just to have the same problem with them too!

Try please to create recovery DVD. Few empty discs are not expensive. If the same problem happen again I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and explain the situation. It is not your fault and maybe you will get new recovery disc for free.
Just dont delete anything on the HDD.

Cannot create recovery media on T61

Hi, two days ago I got my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with Vista Business. I decided to downgrade to Win XP, so I found out, that I need to create a recovery media. I looked to Start > Programs > Thinkvantage, but there was no such option as create recovery media. So I was googling and I figured out that I didn't have installed Rescue and Recovery software. I downloaded (English) Rescue and Recovery 4.21 for Windows Vista from Lenovo webpage and installed it. Then I went again to Start > Programs > Thinkvantage and there was the option Create Recovery media. I clicked there, but there was only option to create Rescue media. Here is the screenshot :

Also I was trying to find if I have that hidden partition. In windows I found some 513MB partition, but there was 100% free space.
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4834/20885840.jpg
In linux I found only one partition, where is installed windows. Is there any way that I don't have this hidden partition, so I cannot create recovery media, or where is the problem? Thanks in advance.

If it is the official Lenovo downgrade discs, it is actually a XP pro recovery media, so you don't need the Vista OS to work. It will create its own recovery partition on your hdd. But once you done it, there is no way of going back to VIsta, unless you image the hdd using a third party software like Acronis TrueImage (need to be purchased) or Easeus Disk Copy (free).

CREATING RECOVERY DVDs/MEDIA

I recieved an L555D-S7932 Laptop from HHGregg"s for a Christmas present and have been reading these little phamplets which to me aren't what I expected. I would have expected a manual not 3 little phamletss. I have many questions that I would love to have answered.
On the QUICK TOUR HARDBACK PAPER ON THE BOTTOM right hand corner It states on how to create recovery DVDs/media, see the "Creating Recovery section in the users guide. I have 3 little phamlets that in no such form tell me where to go to to do this. I asked my mother about it and she told me when you buy a computer you always get them with your purchase. I didn't get any.
1. CAN YOU USE A FLASH STICK INSTEAD?
2. DOES IT MATTER WHETHER YOU USE A FLASH STICK OR DVD FOR CREATING A RECOVERY DISK?
3. SO DO I DO THIS BEFORE EVER TURNING ON THE INTERNET AND JUST TURNING ON THE LAPTOP?
4. HOW DO I CREATE THIS AND WHERE DO I START?
5. ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAPER Need Help?

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.

Satellite L500 - cannot create recovery disks - 0D00F6-49-00000001 error

Hello,
My pc start acting up after i made a system restore.For exemple i cant use the fn key function.
Last week i decided to format my pc. But when i opened the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator i got an unespected error 0D00F6-49-00000001.
I mananged to create 2 of the 4 dvd's. Im using Dvd-r from memorex.
Can someone help.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Is this the first time you try to create recovery discs?
How you have created 2 discs if the Toshiba recovery disc creator starts with error?
Anyway, in this forum you can find similar threads. Probably is some recovery file corrupted and disc cannot be created.
I dont think there is something you can do about it. Either it works or not. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation. I hope they can help you with this and order original Toshiba DVD disc for you.

Toshiba - I cannot run Recovery DVDs successfully

I appreciate if somebody can help me to solve my problem as explained below.
My Toshiba laptop L650 developed some problems that is when I decided to resotore to its original form by running Recover DVDs which I created earlier using Toshiba Tempro. Unfortunately, recovery process did not complete and I got error message which says "Boot manager missing", screen became black and I could not start my laptop. Another bad news is that my HDD was formatted and I loose all my data in C&D drives.
Also I would like to know if recovery CD/DVDs do back up of C&D drives data.
How can I run recovery DVDs successfully?

Hi
I dont think that the hacker or the virus is responsible for non CD drive booting. I cant believe it. In my opinion if the drive cannot read the CD so possibly the CD is corrupt or the drive has a malfunction.
However, in my opinion you should be able to enter the BIOS. As mentioned above you can use the ESC and then F1 to enter the Toshiba BIOS. But if there is a Phoenix BIOS preinstalled so you have to use the F2 key. You have to press this buttons immediately after pressing the power button.
On my notebook I can also use the F12 key and the booting menu appears.
Then I can use the arrow buttons to select the booting device.
If you are not able to boot from the recovery CD so try to boot from the original Microsoft Windows CD.
Possibly it helps. Good luck :|

Cannot create recovery disk after update to Win 8.1 on G580

Friends
I have a Lenovo G580 that came with Win 8.0 preinstalled. I upgraded it to Win 8.1 over the Internet.
When I try to run the "Create recovery disk" I get the error that states that "We cannot create a recovery drive for this PC. Some required files are missing..."
I found out that the winre.wim file that is supposed to be in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder is not there. I cannot locate it anywhere on the C or D drives either. I believe there is a copy on one or more of the recovery partitions but I do not know how to get that file from those partitons.
I am confused as to why there are seven partitions on that one drive:
1 Recovery partition 1000 MB
2 EFI system partition 260 MB
3 OEM partition 1000 MB
4. Recovery partition 350 MB
5. Recovery partition 20 GB
6. Lenovo D: 25 GB
7. Windows 8 C: 250 GB
Can someone help me and give me some instructions on how I can fix the system to find the winre.wim file?
Thanks for any good input.
Calle

Hi Calle,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the error message is displayed in your G580 Laptop, as the OS (Operating System) installed is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Recovery discs cannot be created only a “Recovery Media” can be created using USB Flash drive, below is the link to create USB recovery drive.
Create a USB Recovery Drive
Do post us back if the issue persists.

Hello JAIMO,
Finally there's a solution for this problem, recently created by Microsoft !! See thread:

Thankfully, Microsoft has now released the Windows Installation Media Creation Tool. You can download a Windows 8.1 ISO with this tool then burn the ISO to a DVD. If something goes wrong you can boot the disk and choose to Repair your computer.

Satellite Pro L850-1UJ: How create recovery DVDs from recovery partition

I recently bought a Satellite Pro L850-1UJ with Windows 8
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/laptops/satellite-pro/l850/satellite-pro-l850-1uj/
I've created a new partition (so i could use it as data room)
i.e. C: the windows system AND Z: my data
after that, i could NOT use the RECOVERY MEDIA CREATOR to create the recovery dvds
BUT the partition still exists and i can see the inside files from windows
IS IT a way to extract the files from the recovery partition or any other clue how i could fix the partition scheme so the RECOVERY MEDIA CREATOR could recognize it
Many thanks for your time...

>I've created a new partition (so i could use it as data room)
This was a mistake
The HDD partition table has been modified and changed which means that the Toshiba recover media creator would not find the essential files in order to create the Recovery disk or recovery USB flash memory stick.
What you could try to do is to reset the notebook back to factory settings.
For this you can use the option called Reset your PC.
Details here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
After that the partition table should be set to the same state like at the first day of purchase and you could try to create the recovery disk once again.
Otherwise if this does not help you, the recovery disk could be ordered as mentioned by user xaver

Cannot make Recovery DVDs for the G580 with Windows 8

I notice that Windows 8 Notebooks are no longer being sold with Licenses affixed to the underside. So if anything goes wrong (e.g. we have to replace the HDD at a later date) we cannot just use a Windows 8 disk to restore the operating system.
This means it is important to make sure we have recovery DVDs.
With previous versions One Key Recovery had an option to make restore DVDs - it misses that option with Windows 8.
Phoned Lenovo support who said that we should make the DVDs through the Windows Backup system, which again is fine but on both Lenovo's I have tried it on Windows 8 cannot make a backup to DVD. Also even if we could make the windows backup or system repair disks they would not allow a complete factory restore to a brand new HDD.
How do we make Recovery DVDs that would be bootable and would restore the Operating System to a brand new HDD if the worst should happen and the existing HDD suffered unrecoverable failure? So far the only option that has come up from my various phonecalls is "buy a set of recovery discs for £25-£35 .... which would be a bit unfair having only had this 2 days.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks for the feedback.
Could you please check out the following link and see if it contains a possible solution, I am aware it states only Think products in the compatability list but there are "cross-over" points where something could be of relevance to other Lenovo products.

HT201316 cannot create recovery system

Trying to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mountain lion. While it is installing an error message appears stating that it cannot create a recovery disc for mountain lion and then stops and reverts back to 10.6.8

I have got the same problem as talbotshort. I apologise for sounding dumb, but how can I boot Mountain Lion from my Snow Leopard installer? Do I need the disk to get the Snow Leopard installer?
I hope you can help me, thanks.

Recovery Partion Role AFTER creating recovery DVD's?

on a DV7t:
What is the role of whatever is left on the recovery partition after creating the recovery DVD's?
Is there any reason to keep what is there?
I would love to shrink the Windows 7 partition, grow the Recovery Partition, and then install Windows XP into it.

Nothing changes in the recovery partition when you make the disks. After you have the disks and have tested to be sure they work you can delete the Recovery Partition. Vista and Windows 7 have the ability to resize exiting ntfs partitions. Shrink the Windows 7 partition, delete the Recovery partition then make a new ntfs partition in the extra space after the Win7 partition and use it to install Windows XP. XP does not work real well on the dv7 series you have to install a little hacked routine at startup to make the sound work and I found XP not to be too stable on my dv7-1175nr. I am now happily running Windows 7 64 bit on it and have no need for an actual XP install. If you must have XP Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate have an XP Mode which is a virtual machine....works great. I have a scanner for which there are no 64 bit drivers. If I need to use it I just fire up XP Mode. There is a full pass-through of usb devices.

I cannot create Recovery Media that is to be used for an OS reset

Hello,Recently I upgraded to Win 10, and decided to go back to 8.1 because I thought it was bogus - too slow, not so good looking. But in order to go back to Win 8.1, i needed to get rid of some things in order to free up space. Because there were no pictures, just program files and data, I started picking out Program Files folder to delete (I know, one of the stupidest things you could, but I was MAD). The folders that I deleted were folders from Steam, MS Office, and other folders that were added on by me, not my system. After I came back to Win 8.1, I was so happy to see my faster, better running OS. But not for long. The problems came on the next day. I couldn't open my XBOX Music App, which I was certain was something I must've done with my quest for freeing up space. I tried looking for installation files and .exe files for the Music app, but they all came from unreliable sources. So I uninstalled the Music app and attepmted to install it in the Store. I wasn't successful at that beacuse of an error that I believe was 0x80070057. So I decided to just go ahead and give my system a reset. Now here comes the real issue: When I try to reset, it says that I need a recovery media which i can acquire with installation media. But the problem is I DON'T have installation media. I went ahead and looked for a Windows 8.1 with Bing edition, and found the MS Media Creation tool. I started following a procedure with the appropriate info (such as Windows 8.1 Single Language edition, x64 architecture, and English Language) and it stayed there on 0%, with "Please Wait." And so I waited, waited, without any change. Now, I have REALLY high speed internet access, which is unlike the internet proivded in the States (eugh) and so it shouldn't be a problem on my side. I gave up on that, and decided to go ahead and create myself a recovery image using the HP Recovery Manager. I went ahead and clicked "Create recovery media for your system" and clicked Next on the little window that popped up. It started doing something, and shortly after that it came back with "We can't create a recovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing. To troubleshoot problems when your PC can't start, use your Windows installation disc or media." Great, back to something I DON'T have. So that is where I run out of solutions. I usually hate posting problems on forums (because I solve the problem myself), but this where I fail in my everlasting quest to be a lone wolf in the world of PC problems. Some ideas I came up with were to go back to Win 10, and try to reset my sys there, but I'm afraid that if I do that, I won't be able to go back to Windows 8.1. I really need some help, because it truly is interupting my workflow. Sincerely,QWEW

I had a Win10 upgrade fail on my HP laptop and, in the process, it corrupted the Recovery partition. I think there's a warning somewhere in the upgrade instructions mentioning that the upgrade will prevent you from using any Recovery option already on your PC -- but that's not much help now. You're probably going to have to contact HP support to order a set of Recover Media. That will be a DVD or a set of CDs, and when you use them, they will reformat your drive -- so do whatever you can to save off any data or valuable files before you use them. And, you will (most likely) have to PAY for the media. HP charges somewhere around $30 for the media, but your cost might vary.
