Recovering satellite L25-S121 with disc have no recovery at all

I used recovery disc for L25-S121, it did perform the process and at end it shows black screen and flashing cursor as in old system. Pressing any button makes bipping sound and it stops. I don't know what to do now. Any help?

Just to be clear, doing a system recovery will delete everything on the hard drive and start over as if the computer was brand new. It will put Windows back on the hard drive and allow you to boot. The fact that recovery failed strongly indicates that the hard drive is bad. While it's likely, there still could be some other cause. Yes, I would suggest changing hard drives, but keep in mind that if there was some other problem, that might not fix it. If it doesn't fix it, you should get a technician to look at it.

    Hi Filiep,
    PLease check in Device Manager to see if there is anything showing against your CD-ROM device. If your CD-ROM is still shown you should be able to run the Troubleshooting process against it to check for any errors.
    If your CD-ROM is no longer listed then run the 'Scan For Hardware Changes option' to see if this detects your CD-ROM.

  • Satellite P500 - Restart loop after using Toshiba recovery disk

    Hi,
    I have got a problem recovering SATELLITE P500. I had made the recovery disks. It boots ok from the recovery disk and formats the hard drive and copies the disks to the hard drive. It then starts windows setup and reboots.
    Then it goes to a loop
    1) Start up and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use"
    2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Finnishing installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interupt or shutdown the computer!
    3) Windows logo
    4) Shutting down...
    5) restarts and goes to 1)
    It would be great if some one could help me with this.
    Many thanks,
    Softari

    Hello
    I have noticed the same on my Satellite P500 but I must say its not an issue, its absolutely normal. The notebook will restart several times (10 times or more) to finish the installation.
    You must know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and certain restart must be done to configure everything properly.
    So dont interrupt the recovery installation, just wait a little bit longer and drink a coffee. Everything happens automatically and your notebook will be reinstalled with factory settings. :)

  • Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

    I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

  • Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

    Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

    Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

  • Does the Satellite A80-142 with Geforce 6600 Go have MXM??

    I own a Satellite A80-142 with a Geforce 6600 Go (128MB) and I really want to know if its directly mounted on the board or if its a MXM. I already searched the web and I have found some 6600 Go cards which are MXMs.
    Can someone please help me??

    I have also read that the nVidia designs and produce the GeForce 6600 also with the MXM modules. But this does not mean that every GeForce 6600 card supports this.
    As far as I know the A80 notebooks graphic card and the motherboard does not support MXM interface.

  • Copy Protection Error when doing a system recover - Satellite C655

    I have a satellite c655 S5206.  The computer seemed to have a virus as it would lock on windows and eventually wouldn't boot.  I tried using the system recover option built in but it didn't work so I ordered the disk from Toshiba.  When I tried to use them I got an Error 0x80030309 copy protection error.  I though it was a corrupted or bad hard drive so I ordered a new one but I still get the same error when trying to install disk 1 of the system recovery process.  Any help or explanation would be helpful.  Thanks

    Hi Models may differ in the way you use your recovery discs. You should read your user manuel to find out how to use these discs. Here's the basic way.
    Using Recovery CDs / DVDs / Media
    If you have created recovery DVDs/media for your system, you can restore your system from such media, if necessary. For example, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery DVDs/media. For instructions on creating recovery DVDs/media, see the How To: Understanding System Recovery Options + Creating / Purchasing Recovery Media article.
    IMPORTANT: The recovery process deletes information stored on the internal storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the recovery.
    To recover your internal storage drive from recovery DVDs/media:
    Make sure your computer is turned off.
    Do one of the following: If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first recovery DVD into your optical disc drive. If your recovery files are on a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive to your computer.
    Turn on your computer. When the initial TOSHIBA screen displays, press the F12 key on your keyboard. The boot menu displays.
    Using the arrow keys, select the DVD option or the USB Flash option, depending on which type of media you are using, and then press the Enter key.
    A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data on your internal storage drive will be deleted and rewritten unless the “Recovery of Factory Default Software with user’s data” option is selected. Click Yes to continue.
    When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the “Selecting a process” screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default Software, and then click Next.
    On the next screen you may have recovery method options. The default and recommended method is to Recover to Out of Box state.
    Follow the on screen instructions as you navigate through the system recovery steps.
    The laptop will restart multiple times and install the needed components.

  • Toshiba Satellite L25-S119

    Ok so this was my brother's laptop, it was used for a long time, still in good condition. Only problem is when i start it says it did not start succesfully. It asks for safe mode. safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt. last known good configuration or start windows normally. No matter how i start it it goes to the window XP part then it restarts. it does it over and over.

    You call that "good condition"?
    If you no longer have the recovery disc, I suggest you order it.

  • Recover Satellite C850-F12S - currently installed Win 8.1

    hi!
    i bought my Satellite C850-F12S with Win 7 Starter now i installed Win 8.1 and i want to restore it to its original state back to Win 7 Starter but dont know how to do that.
    I didnt create recovery image so m lost on how to recover it.
    Anyone help me please

    If you did not create the recovery medium in the past, then you will not be able to recover the notebook.
    The HDD recovery isnt possible anymore because the HDD recovery partition was deleted during Win 8.1 installation.
    You have only one option to do that: you have to order such recovery disk:

  • Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - CD/DVD drive failure code 39

    Hi,
    I have been burning and watching DVDs on my Satellite A200-1vp, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks ago.
    Suddenly there's a problem, no response when I load a disc and my divx player tells me no recorder found.
    When I search in the device manager I get the message " windows cannot load the driver for this hardware" (code 39) " driver is corrupted or missing".
    I tried uninstalling it and using the Toshiba upper/lower limit filter repair tool but on restart it still failed to install.
    Should i try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and loose a lot of unbacked up programs/files, as last resort?
    Would that work?
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Here is an interesting Microsoft knowledge article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us
    You should firstly access the device manager and should remove the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
    Then should access the registry and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Reboot the notebook and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!

  • How to restore the Satellite L25 - where to get Recovery disk

    Hi..
    I wanted to format my hard drive on my L25 laptop which currently has Win XP, but am not sure if I ever got a recovery CD/DVD from the person I bought it from.
    Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) would contain an image of the recovery disk or if I can get a recovery disk from somewhere or any other way to format the disk and reinstall the original contents of the laptop?
    Would greatly appreciate if you could reply back.
    Thanks.. Amare

    Hi
    Usually the older Toshiba series were equipped with the recovery disk and the Toshiba image is placed on the recovery cd.
    If you have a recover disk then you will have to boot from such disk to start the recovery procedure.
    If you dont have a recovery disk then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the OS and the necessary drivers could be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page.
    This is a US notebook and you have to search on US page for drivers.
    Greats

  • AC adapter compatibility of Satellite L25-S1192

    I took my Satellite L25 into the shop to have it fixed and when I got it home its fine, except I think the shop gave me back the wrong AC adapter because my machine does not recognize it (no lights). The one they gave me back is a model number API1AD43. Can anyone tell me the correct part#/model of ac adapter I should have?

    Hi buddy,
    they gave you the wrong AC-adapter. You need an AC with an output of 19V with 6.3A and when googling for the AC you actually have, I found that the adapter has 19V but just 4.7A output. Thats not enough ampere for your machine so you have to go back to that shop and ask them for a AC-adapter with an output of 19 VOLT with 6.3 Ampere.
    Thats it. ;)
