Recovering of Satellite P50-B-103 without losing created partitions

Laptop: Satellite P50-B-103
OS: Windows 8.1
Hi,
I've created several partitions in my laptop Satellite P50-B-103 and I've created the 3 recovery DVD.
Now, I would like to recovery the Operating System and to mantein the partitions that I've created with therir files.
When I tried to recovery the laptop with de DVD, I see that it's necessary to delete all the partitions. Is it possible recovery the laptop whitout delete my partitions?
Thanks.

Hi
Generally speaking recovery image can be installed on two ways:
-HDD recovery option (recovery image is on the HDD)
-using recovery DVD
When you use HDD recovery installation only partition C will be deleted and recovery image installed on it. This option works with factory settings and with original partitions structure.
You have changed this partitions structure and this option will not work so there is logical that you want to use created recovery discs.
Problem is that recovey image procedure wants to create original factory settings that include original partitions structure. Before recovery image installation starts all recovery files will be copied to the HDD and then installed from there so I think you cannot install recovery image on defined partition without changing everything.
Anyway, if there is some problem with your preinstalled OS, install recovery image again and then change partitions again. It is not a big deal. You have created recovery discs so original partitions structure that includes recovery image is not so important for you.
Using recovery discs you can install recovery image anytime you want.
Of course before you start to install recovery image make data back-up.

  • Satellite P50-B-103 - Connect my HDMI output to a VGA monitor

    Hello everyone,
    I have just bought a satellite *P50-B-103*, which only has a HDMI output and I would like to connect it to an external VGA monitor.
    I thought I only need to buy a HDMI - VGA converter but the buyer said to me that Toshiba, unless this model, is not prepared to connect to a VGA monitor although I use a converter.
    Is it true or I can connect my laptop to the vga monitor using the converter?
    Thanks in advance,
    Charly

    The point is that HDMI provides digital signal and the VGA (RGB) port support analogue signal.
    To be honest I read many articles about such adapters and converters but in many cases such converters are useless.
    So its no matter if your notebook was manufactured by Toshiba or other manufacturer.
    Itsa matter of the signal standard supported by each port.

  • How to recover my iPhone 6 from disabled without losing my data as the backup in my iTunes is old and not updated.

    Hi,
    I have iPhone 6 and the after the screen has broken the phone was starting to enter random passcode from itself until its locked and disabled. I have replaced the screen with a new one and I need to make a backup of my data in the phone and not reset or restore from the phone backup in my iTunes as it's old and not updated. Kindly advise me how to make this task as I have important data I need to not lose.
    Best regards,

    You cannot now. The only way to reset the passcode and remove the disabled status is to restore the device. There is no way to make a new backup now.  That is actually the whole point of the passcode attempt limitation and the disabling of the device - to keep someone without the passcode from getting at your data. Once disabled, your sole single recourse is to restore it in order to be able to do anything with it.
    At this point you can restore from your existing backup, or as new. Either way, you've already lost the current data on the device.

  • Re-install OSX without losing Windows7 partition? (preserving Bootcamp)

    Recently my computer stopped booting into mac OS (apparently unfixable, details on that deduction are below).
    The question:
    I plan to reinstall MacOSX (from my startup disc).
    However, I'd like to be sure that this won't destroy Bootcamp's partitioning. (because windows7 currently still starts fine).
    Can anyone confirm that losing bootcamp is not a concern?
    I'm worried that maybe it is just assumed that reinstalling OSX will destroy the old Bootcamp setup?
    (my google searches haven't brought up any examples of my specific situation).
    More details:
    After moving my iMac (i7, 27") to a new desk, I started it up and walked away. the power supply started beeping horribly (its backup battery had lost charge, i assume). I stupidly pressed the power button to turn the UPS off, to stop the beeping, even though the iMac was still starting up. This killed the power. oops.
    I could swear I was able to restart in OSX that night... but maybe my memory is flawed- because ever since, the iMac has hung up while starting up. maybe "freezing up" is the better term? except pinwheel is still spinning... (I'd also swear I left the mac in sleep mode that night, but when I came back the next day it was turned off. not sure if my memory is flawed... or if gremlins are tormenting me)
    The next morning when I started up, I noticed a progress bar beneath the Apple logo, which i'd never seen before. after a couple minutes this bar went away, and I was just left with the spinning pinwheel below the apple logo. I let this run for more than an hour before giving up (giving up == holding the power button for several second to force it to power off).
    - I restarted with option held down, and was able to load the windows partition just fine. (and am still able to).
    - I restarted with cmd-v held down to enter verbose mode and see what's up. seemed to become hung up after printing " Rebuilding catalog B-tree"
    - I rebooted with cmd-option-p-r keys held down, to reset pram and nvram. no change.
    - I restarted with cmd-s held down so I could type something at the command line. I entered the suggested "/sbin/fsck -fy" text.
    here is quick snapshot of what it displayed, when this failed:
    http://www.warrenblyth.com/remote/probs/iMacHOME-commandLine_s.jpg
    (basically, it went from "rebuilding catalog B-tree" to "the volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired")
    - I restarted with d key held down and ran the quick version of diagnostics. it said there were no hardware problems. (i did not run the longer version). I rebooted to the same hung-up problem.
    - I held c to boot from my startup disc (which took maybe 3 minutes? long time?). ... (sidenote: I thought this would just let me into the old desktop, like booting windows into safe mode. but instead it was just a limited menu set, like I was stuck in a program I couldn't quit. I believe it was prompting me to start installing OS. I managed to switch over to the disc utility program, by attempting to exit the default program, I believe. I get so frustrated/angry/emotional over epic computer problems that it seems to affect my memory).
    - In Disk Utility I clicked "verify disk permissions" button. It predicted this would take 7 minutes, but it just stopped runnig after maybe 2 minutes. no results were displayed.
    - So I clicked "verify disk".
    here is a quick snapshop of results:
    http://www.warrenblyth.com/remote/probs/imac-verifyDiskFAIL_s.jpg
    (basically, it says problem can't be fixed and I should reformat)
    This is when I decided it was a lost cause and my only remaining option was to reformat the mac partition. (yeah? make sense?)
    Bonus:
    - I restarted in Windows and copied everything I could think of off of the old mac portion of the hard drive. I had to reformat my WDmyBook external HDD to windows friendly formatting for this. I noticed this when looking at disk partitions:
    http://www.warrenblyth.com/remote/probs/homeMac-partitions_s.jpg
    probably nothing interesting here. I just thought it weird that there were 4 partitions instead of two. Wondered if one of these partitions was devoted to startup, and could be fixed without destroying the core mac partition.
    My gut says there is probably just some start up glitch, and if I was smarter I could fix it without erasing all the old Mac files and installed programs. Though I'm also worried it may be a physical disc error, and reinstalling OSX won't solve anything. maybe I've ruined the machine and should seek replacement HW. ?
    Really just posting here to see if anyone has advice. and to help anyone else who might be in same spot of confusion.
    Thanks for any tips.

    #1 You need a more robust program to fix the Mac boot drive like Alsoft Disk Warrior.
    I stopped bothering with using Apple First Aid.
    #2 You can lose Windows
    #3 Try SuperDuper to clone Mac volume to another HFS+ partition.
    HFS has its weaknesses. You probably continued using OS X after freezes or other problems.
    Ideal is to reformat and restore both.
    If there was a bad sector that is something chkdsk could deal with.
    If the bad sector is in the hidden partition tables, you have to reformat.
    Reformat is the best way going forward.
    Even replacing a disk drive is something you can do. You probably want backup drive for each OS though.
    And there are 3rd party disk maintenance programs. And should always be backed up and ready to restore a system without exception. Even if possible to doing trial runs to make sure how to.
    I would spend the money to fix the directory in Mac OS X rather than the free reinstall of OS X - after making a bootable clone with SuperDuper, and repairing the clone as well first.
    You may (dare I say "should") install Mac OS only just 30GB partition on a hard drive to use for fixing your system, instead of using CD or DVDs. And a partition large enough to hold your current Mac system to use for backup clone.
    Windows HFS9 driver from Paragon allows read and write ability. They also have an NTFS drive for OS X to add write support. Good Windows backup tools.

  • Is it possible to recover an ipod touch without losing pictures, is it possible to recover an ipod touch without losing pictures

    Help can I recover an ipod touch without losing pictures?

    When you hook it up to your comptuer, can your computer 'see' it? As in does a dialogue box pop up when you connect it via USB to your computer? If not, double click on 'my computer' and see if you see it listed under all your harddrives/etc.
    If so, navigate to the iPod and double click on the DCIM folder. You should eventually see a folder (s) of the photos/videos your device has taken. You can drag then off there and onto your computer and then go on with the restore.
    If your computer doesn't see the device however, you may be out of luck.

    >http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    >What steps should I follow?
    As far as I know on second HDD partition in folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start HDD recovery installation (F8 at start-up) recovery image from partition D will be installed on partition C. In this case partition D will not be deleted. Just partition C will be formatted before recovery image installation starts.
    Just use F8 option and go to repair my computer. Just follow menu on the screen and choose option Recovery of factory default software.
    > 2 If HDD is defective, how can I re-install supplied OS (vista) to a new HDD ?
    After reading this question I see you didnt read users manuals document. You should create recovery media (recovery DVD) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is some problem with HDD or you want to install original recovery image on new HDD.
    > 3 Unrelated to the above, can I update to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64bit version?
    Of course you can do this. Visit please Toshiba download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all drivers, tools and utilities are available there. Of course before you do this, create recovery DVD.
    If you have more questions you are welcome.

  • What other methods are there to re-install Win 8.1 pro without losing files & programs, if I am unable to update my Recovery image?

    So I am thinking my Windows 8.1 Pro needs a refresh, but I have not ran "recimg /createimage C:\*" for a while and because of the problems I have. I cannot create a new one, it just wont work and I've had a post on here about that issue for a while
    now and nothing has worked.  So I know I need to re-install windows but I really want to be able to keep my Programs & files.
    So my question is, are there any other methods to re-install Windows 8.1 pro without losing my programs?
    That's the reason I have not just done a reinstall, because of the time and effort needed to do this in a timely manner.  Also I need to keep my programs APPDATA intact so that my applications still work as they do now, some programs have got months
    of history and data.  Also I am not certain I still have the installers for some of my applications, I know I can get them but again its the time it would take.
    This is why I run a separate backup of my APPDATA DIR, am I right in thinking that If I did have to reinstall that I could just restore the old APPDATA data to the new Install and my programs would automatically have all there normal settings?
    So what are my options?
    Thanks peeps.
    JK MCP

    Isn't that only used when a PC will not boot?
    What options does booting with this give me?
    Thanks

  • How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

    Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
    256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
    1T Hard Drive in reg slot
    16 GB Ram
    Mavericks 10.9.4
    iphoto 9.5.1
    I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
    How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
    I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import.  As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD.  Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited.  How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
    If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
    If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
    Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
    I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me.  Thank you.

    All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events.  It is a start but not complete.
    Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
    If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
    Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
    Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit.  i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
    As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos.  And empty the trash always before merging projects.
    You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists.   I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
    You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

  • How can I temporarily remove games from my iPhone without losing the app data included?

    My iPhone 5 is running low on space so I plan on cleaning it out soon. I have a lot of games on my iPhone with app data included that I don't play as often. I was planning on removing these temporarily because some day I might want to play them again but I'm afraid I won't have my progress anymore. Ex: My levels conquered on Cut The Rope or my worlds on Minecraft PE.
    So is there a solution out there for me to be able to temporarily remove my games without losing their app data? All feedback is greatly appreciated and I how there is a way to do this!

    The only way to recover the data for a deleted app would be to restore from a backup made before you deleted the app.  Apps and their data are integral to eachother, so deleting one deletes the other.
    If you have a backup, you could restore from that to restore an App's data, but a restore is also an all or nothing option - the restore will restore everything to the state of the backup, not single or selective items.
    Other than that, there is no way to acheive what you wish - if you delete the app you delete its data.

  • How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
