Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you have formatted the disc then you have completely removed the hdd partitions. im sure you have figured this out but im going to say it anyway. this is the exact reason your toshiba user's guide tells you to make recovery media first before anything else is done on the laptop. with that out of the way you can order recovery media from toshiba for $25 by calling 1(800)457-7777 or ordering online here csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/serviceUnitVerification.jsp?orderType=SFF

  • Cannot start Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator on my Satellite A300-15K

    Hi! I'm from Poland so my English is a little poor.. (but I hope that is sufficient)
    My problem:
    I haven't Recovery disc (DVD) because I don't use earlier Toshiba Recobery Disc Creator (when all in my laptop was good).
    Now I haven't do this disc because when I start Toshiba Recovery disc Creator I have a error:

    Hi
    Did you change anything on your notebook?
    I mean if your HDD recovery partition has been changed or the data o thin partition has been deleted?
    To be honest for me it looks like the OS issue. I think its not a single tool issue but I think the operating system has been muddled up
    Maybe you should try to recover the notebook using the Toshiba HDD recovery option and after the new OS installation on the notebook you could try to create the recovery disk again.
    In order to start the recovery you have to press the F8 immediately after the notebook has been powered up. Then you should choose the first option called Repair My Computer.
    This would lead to a new window and there you could choose Toshiba HDD recovery.
    But note; this recovery would format the whole HDD so maybe you should backup some data before you would start this procedure.

  • 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.

  • Recovery Disc Creator does not list any discs for creation

    Brand new NB200-10G (this a UK model). When I run TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator it does not show any discs for creation and the CREATE option is greyed out so I cannot create the discs. Now... when I first got it I did not have a USB DVD writer with me but I ran RDC out of curiosity to see the devices it might offer. At that time it DID list discs to be created but I cancelled out. I get the impression the program thinks it has created the discs and I believe I read somewhere that it will not create the discs more than once. I think it must have set a switch in the registry or .ini files somewhere to indicate that the discs have been created. If so does anyone know how to "undo" this? Drive D (data) and hidden partition *appear* to be intact.
    If this is not possible then I guess I could try the "press key 0 at power up" method to restore to original install setting and this might then enable me to create the discs but I'm concerned that if the restore fails in a destructive way that I might be left without a working PC. TIA Ken
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK all fixed!
    Restore using key 0 at power up worked fine and cured the ToRDC problem. It then let me produce 2 copies of the restore DVD. Don't know what caused the problem... issue CLOSED.

  • Satellite L500D PSLK0A Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator does not run correctly

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a recovery disc for my Toshiba Satellite L500D PSLK0A-00U009.
    When I run the Recovery Disc Creator it begins to open then it comes up with a box with an exclamation mark then it says 'Can not open target partition'. Then the Recovery Disc Creator will open. It then appears normal then when I insert a CD to being the process it looks as though it is going to work then it says Error and stops and ejects the CD the Error is code is: 0E01B5-26-510444D9
    I have already uninstalled then program then reinstalled it using a download from the MyToshiba website and this did not fix the problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you try different disks from different manufactures?
    How about the usage of USB flash memory stick? As far as I know you can create an bootable USB Recovery flash stick too.

  • DVD recovery disc creator error

    Hiya,
    I have a toshiba L300 series laptop running vista, which basically just crashes as soon as I load it up as soon as I try to do anything in normal mode (it runs perfectly in safe mode). I'd like to reboot my system obviously!
    Basically when I try to run the recovery disc creator, just over half way through creating the first disc I get the error message:
    'Failed to read the following file.
    F:\06491XSP.swm
    (error code:020150-20-00000000)'
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    thanks,
    Olie

    Hi!
    Firmware updates you can get on the Toshiba website but for your Satellite A300 with Mat****a drive I didnt find one.
    Have you tried DVDs from different manufactures? I use always Verbatim disks and never had problems with it.
    Check this!

  • Toshiba NB200-10z - recovery disc creator.lnk isn't available

    Hello, I have a problem with my netbook Toshiba NB200-10z, when I run Toshiba recovery disc creator I get the window with:
    The unit or network connection to which the link refers "recovery disc creator.lnk isn't available.
    Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and try again
    How can I fix it?

    Since this is an English language forum you should post the message in English language.
    I assume you are not able to start the Recovery disk creator software
    Why?? Who knows.
    Try to recover the notebook using HDD recovery option:
    Press F8, choose Repair my Computer, and HDD recovery.
    If this would not be available or possiblewell you will need to try to order a recovery disk from Toshiba or would try to install the system using another disk

  • Tecra A9 - Recovery Disc Creator malfunctioning

    I've been trying to make recovery discs for my Tecra A9.
    I've successfully made the two System Recovery Discs (DVD-R), but when I try to make the Applications Disc I get a errormessage right after the program wants me to verify that i've put a blank disc into my DVD-writer.
    _Errormessage:_
    An unexpected error accured.
    Please quit this application and restart it.
    (Error Code: 0E01C7-15-00000000)

    Hi
    Maybe you should try different medias
    Such error messages appear mostly if an inserted disk was not fully compatible
    I assume you have used the same disks previously in order to create the recovery disk well, I know this is strange but I think you should try another disk.
    Cheers

  • NB200-10Z: Can't make recovery disk using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator

    Hi Folks,
    I finally got round to buying a USB DVD drive in order to create recovery discs for my NB200-10Z. I got the following:
    * Samsung SE-S084C, External USB 2.0 Slimline 8X DVD Writer, Black
    I have twice tried to create a recovery disc and am now left with two trashed DVDs. The error codes in the error window are:
    Error Code: 0E01B5-26-2A040803
    Error code: 02016F-3C-00000000
    The first time the burning was stopped, the second time the verify failed.
    Can anyone shed light on this?

    *Short version:*
    Thank you to everybody who replied.
    I decided to try out the USB DVD drive on another laptop to perform a HDD backup operation...and it failed as well. Grrrr. Same DVD media (I just hadn't got round to getting new media to try).
    I think I shall discount the possiblility of the NB200 being at fault, and therefore shall consider this question answered on this forum.
    *Long version:*
    Well, I ended up using Virtual CD to "burn" an ISO file to HDD, and then copied that to another laptop to burn to DVD (not using the USB DVD drive, but the same DVD media type). Being the curious type I decided to perform a restore using the USB DVD drive. It got part way through installation then informs me that a CRC check had failed...argggg.
    So, to cut a long story even shorter, I ended up slipstreaming the Intel storage drivers into a Win XP ISO (created from a Win XP CD I had from another previous laptop) and creating a bootable USB drive. Now I have a clean install with all the NB200 driver installed. Phew.
    Actually, to think a bit more about it, I could have attempted to put the Toshiba recovery ISO onto the bootable USB drive, but I've done the clean install now anyway.
    For whatever reason, I had such trouble getting the NB200 BIOS to recognise the USB DVD drive in order to change the boot order (it wasn't in the option list). This was with the DVD in the tray, and without the DVD in the tray. Some investigation required on my part, I think, to determine exactly what is going on.

  • HP Recovery Disc Creator Probook 4740s

    My company bought a new laptop for me which I have received and configured today
    HP Probook 4740s - Windows 7 Professional
    I am trying to create a set of recovery discs but it fails with the following error, can some one help me with this issue please.
    I have tried running the recovery as the administrator but it made no difference

    Hi:
    I can't help you with that specific issue, but I would just call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and order a set of recovery disks for your notebook.
    You will need to provide the model # and serial number.
    Since the notebook is presumably under warranty as it is new, HP normally ships the recovery disks at no charge.
    When a PC is out of warranty one pays $10 for a set.

  • Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

    Hi everybody!
    Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
    Can anyone help?

    Hello
    F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
    "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
    I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
    You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Error while creating recovery discs on HP Pavilion p7-1147b Win7

    While creating the 2nd of 3 ea. system recovery discs, I get an error message during the "verifying disc" phase that terminates the process.  I'm using high quality DVD+R 4.7gb discs and have tried several brands.  I had same problem on the 1st disc, but it finally finished after 3 tries - now I can't get the 2nd disc completed to get to the final one.  The DVD burner seems to work fine for other applications. I really don't want to purchase these recovery discs from HP.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Try creating the rest of the Recovery Discs in Safe Mode as follows.
    Shut down the PC.  Tap away at f8 as you start the PC to enter Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter.  When windows has fully loaded in this mode, launch the recovery disc creator application and see if you can complete the creation of your discs in this way.
    To exit Safe Mode, just restart the PC and Windows will boot normally.
    If this still fails to create a viable set of Recovery Discs and you are within your warranty period, call HP ( the telephone numbers can be found on the relevant link below ) and explain that the Recovery Media Creator application fails to create a viable set of recovery discs and request that they send you a free replacement set.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

  • P205 s6267 recovery disc creation

    I am experiencing some slowing down and erratic stuff with this laptop and decided it would be best to put it back to it's original state. I looked up the online users guide to see how to do this. Unfortunately i cannot find a recovery disc creator icon, nor anything in programs , as I thought this would be the best way to go.
    They do list a HDD recovery option which involves powering up with the 0 (zero button ) pressed. When I tried this it just beeped at me not stop. No recovery wizard appeared. i had to go and do a system restore as it did'nt like what i had done. Any suggestions?
    thanks
