It looks like it scratched and some files can't be read. As I know, the 2nd Dvd contains drivers/utilities that you can install yourself from Toshiba driver pages. It depends on model:

Unfortunately, it's not free to order recovery disk, you have to pay. For European models, you can order here:

For other models (country regions), you should check on above mentioned sites

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.

Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
Thanks

Hello Pingo
You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.

How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

Hi
Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
Finally use this disk for booting.

Making Recovery disc for Satellite A300-16I

I recently purchased this laptop and I get this reminder to make a recovery disc, but the link to the program doesn't work.
When I found the recovery disc program in its original folder it still refused to open.
My laptop just 'thinks' for a moment and then pretend nothing has happened.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Maybe I could download a working version of this program...?

Hi
From my own experience after a third system restart a recovery reminder appear saying you need to create a Recovery DVD.
You said you found the recovery disc program in the original folder well, as far as I know there is a TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator shortcut on the desktop.
Use this shortcut to star this application.
If this is not possible then you could try to recover the notebook again and then to create the recovery CD.
To start the recovery process you have to press F8 button immediately after system start.
Then choose the option called Repair your Computer and follow the instruction on the screen.
Bye

Toshiba recovery disc usage for Satellite A300-211

i bought my lap last april and after the crash of the system.
I used the recovery disc that i made from the image on the hard disc but it erased all the data in the two partitions.
My question: Is there a way to use the disc to format partition C only without erasing the data on the other partition?

Hi
To start the HDD recovery procedure follow these steps:
- press F8 after powering up the unit
- choose option Repair my Computer
- in new window choose Toshiba HDD recovery
Now HDD recovery should start up and you should follow the steps on the screen.
As mentioned by Paupau, the HDD recovery should format the C but should leave the D partition untouched.

System repair/ recovery for Satellite A300

Hello,
I m new to this forum, I ve been reading through prior posts to see if anyone has a solution to my problem but none so far.
I ve had a failure to boot in Win XP yesterday (single OS on my system), where I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing - just a black screen. I had an update for Windows running before this happned, and before that I did perform a backup of all my files - just routine at the time. Power/battery is not a problem. I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options. Ultimately moving the CD/DVD up and even changing the setting of HDD SATA from AHC to compatibility.
I remove the HDD and connect it to a healthy laptop via connector cable to USB. Looks perfect, no bad sectors or viruses (had an updated NIS on my Toshiba, and Kaspersky on the helper laptop). Anyway I copied my personal files off the HDD to another external HDD, as well as back up files from Toshiba HDD.
The internal DVD/CD player had not been functional for a year or so, and I had been using an external one via USB.
I pop in a recovery disc (which I had from Toshiba):
a- while HDD is in its slot or the second empty slot - no change in situation
b- while HDD is connected to Toshiba laptop via cable/USB: says Windows is loading files (so it seems to be alive) then goes to a DOS like interface where it says:
Waiting for ODD to become available
ODD ready in drive D
Checking media in drive D.....
and just keeps waiting - nothing happens.
I m sorry for the lengthy explanation, but I do think something had gone wrong with the XP Boot after that last update. I do have the recovery disc, but apparently that too is a no-go at this point. I would opt to try and repair XP (booting) first, but if it comes to it I will be ok formating and installing XP from the recovery disc. I m not sure if I have that option given the whole deal of using an external USB DVD player.
help please, I ve been at this for a whole day..
Jonesducklng

Which Satellite A300? There is a label on the bottom.
Are you willing to purchase a replacement ODD?
Do you have a Windows XP installation CD?
I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options.
Is there a USB option in that boot priority list?

Need Vista install order for Satellite A300-1HV

Hello, could anyone give me or point me to the Vista installation order for a A300-1HV (drivers and utils)
Many thanks.

I installed all drivers and apps as above, using latest versions for my particular hardware.
Regarding the Robson Drivers for the Intel AHCI - Advanced Host Controller Interface for the SATA disk:
With AHCI turned on in the BIOS I needed to extract Robson Package v1.5.0.1013 onto a USB key (the only version I could extract from exe), then use this when partitioning at the start of Vista install by clicking 'Load Driver' and browsing to the USB key and then the Driver folder.
NOTE: If you don't do this and AHCI is switched on in the BIOS then the installation will hang at the 'Completing Installation' stage.
Once Vista is installed and SP1 installed, when you install the Robson driver again from the list above you can use the latest version.
The latest TVAP v1.1.9 did not install and came up with a 'GetProfString is Failed' error, so I installed v1.1.4 ok.
Only one issue was the media buttons did not seem to work correctly. The following link fixed the left most 'dimmer' button and the 'media player' button. The rest, control buttons then worked as expected.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=127192&#127192
I installed Vista Home Premium first and then I had Vista SP1 on disk which I installed. Then rebooted after every driver and application install to make it clean as possible.
The entire process was done without internet connection, wireless was switched on but I never connected to my LAN. All drivers and apps were loaded from a USB key following Vista SP1 installation.
Next stage was to install AntiVirus and then connect to Internet and allow Vista to install all required updates.
There are 3 drivers that Microsoft is offering me. The first time I tried this installation I installed these and I started to get warning messages upon my WLAN connecting, but these disappeared when I disabled my LAN device.
I AM NOT INSTALLING THESE, I shall wait for updates from Toshiba. - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
All functionality appears to work correctly.
(p.s. My Vista gets a 4.0 average in the Windows Experience Index. I can't remember the exact results but obviously 4.0 was the lowest and there were a few 5.x's in there)
Hope this may help someone.

Recovery disks not working for Satellite L350

I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 which I bought some years ago
Originally it was a vista home premium laptop and I opted for the Toshiba windows 7 upgrade and its been pretty much trouble free .
However recently something went a bit weird and things just were not working well (it would not always log you out and never seemed to shutdown correctly) and various other applications did not run correctly.
After a few uninstalls ,reinstalls, scans and Microsoft patches did nothing I decided to take the plunge and use the recovery disk.
I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7 and one again after.
I still have the windows 7 upgrade dvds so I can apply them after if I had to start back on vista again.
The only other big change has been a RAM upgrade to 4gb - I still have the original RAM if I need it but before all this there were no hardware issues reported and chkdsk was fine also.
So to me it was the o/s that was the problem.
I have now tried all the recovery disks and they all have the same problem reporting that imagex cannot uncompress the second file image as it is corrupt at block 90 I dont have this actual message to hand
but can update later.
I cant see that Im doing anything wrong as all i do is put the dvd in the drive and restart the laptop with F12 to boot off the recovery DVD and follow the on screen commands.
Have you any reports of such of this previously or am I doing something stupid?
Thanks

Thats very strange that al recovery discs show the same error message. As far as I know when you start recovery image installation the HDD will be formatted, new partitions created, recovery image copied on second HDD partition and as last step is recovery image installation.
>I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7...
Have you tested both of them in the past?
Generally speaking all you do is right. In my opinion the problem can be recovery image itself or maybe HDD has some failure on certain sectors.
If you can obtain second HDD somewhere exchange it, set BIOS to default settings and test recovery installation again.

BIOS Update for Satellite A300/600

Hi all,
I have a Satellite A300/600 (PSAG4A-02600M), which I have just installed W7 x64 on (I did a clean install). I am upgrading the drivers as per the Toshiba website. I noticed there is a BIOS upgrade to version 1.8 - I am currently running version 1.5.
I have downloaded the update but when I try to run it I get the following message: "C:\Users\HELIF~1\AppData\Local\Temp\isc6632tmp\\i nsydeflash.exe could not be executed."
The PC is running fine at the moment, no major glitches - do I need V1.8? If so, how do I remedy this situation?
Other glitches so far in the upgrade process for me have been:
Every time I pressed the mute button W7 UAC popped up to ask me if I wanted to allow the Toshiba program to adjust a system setting. Fixed this issue by moving the ButtonSetting.ini file and making a registry change.
Loaded Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I inserted my XD card from my camera, W7 recognised it just fine, but WLPG could not see it. Therefore I am unable to import my photos off the card. Well, I can do it through W7 but WLPG gives you the options of fine tuning the import process which is what I'm after. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling WLPG after I'd installed all the drivers from Toshiba but it still won't recognise it. Still an issue.
Lastly, in relation to WLPG, I can't seem to download Image Composite Editor, whenever I try the link to the download (ftp or html), Firefox just displays a blank page with "waiting for research.microsoft.com". Trying to find an alternative site to download it off but no luck thus far.
That's it so far, any help would be appreciated.
Message was edited by: helifella - added one more issue...

Thanks for the advice. Won't be touching the BIOS any more.
Think I found a solution to the WLPG problem = Picasa! No, but seriously, I will try the Windows or Windows Live forums when I get the opportunity. I must say I did like the face recognition in Picasa, makes tagging people pretty easy. If only tags were more standardised like audio tags (okay, I know there are a few formats but they're pretty good) so when I imported the photos I had already tagged in WLPG they were recognised by Picasa - grr.
Anyway, thanks again, case closed.

Hp pavilion dv6 3049tx recovery disc info needed...

i need the 1st revovery dvd only for my dv6 3049tx.
i have rest 5dvds...only my 1st dvd is lost. please help someone.
NB - I bought the laptop last year September,2010 and my recovery discs were total " 6 "
Do all hp dv6 3049tx users have same number of "6" recovery discs created by the recovery manager?

Hi,
You may have to ask for the whole set, borrowing just ONE may not work because the environment could be difference after you logon to the machine for the first time.

Recovery media not working for Satellite L455 S5000 , windows 7 -64bit

Guys, My Satellite L455 crashed the drive. I ordered the kit from TOSHIBA to do a factory reinstall. The instructions says: Hold "C"key while bringing computer up. I tried it several times but nothing happened. I tried to boot from the DVD drive but it din't work at all. How may I do to restore my PC using the recovery media with a new drive ? Remembering it's Satellite L455 -S5000 , windows 7 , 64 bit. Thanks in advance. Joelson

Thanks for the replies.
The HDD is completely broken. The recovery partition gone too.
About the F12, I tried it.
Choosing the DVD drive to boot using the recovery disc #1 inside nothing happens.
The DVD drive starts, first acess to DVD media happens but nothing appear in the screen. Few seconds after the system try to boot from the new HDD that is empty.
My objective is reconstruct the windows in the new HDD bringing back the HD to it's original structure ( without any data ) like a new one.
Remembering that old drive and new one have the same size ( just the brand is different , new one is SAMSUNG SATA ) . Old one was TOSHIBA .
Any insight is welcomed.
Thanks a lot.

Recovery of 8.1 for Satellite S55-A5176 will not successfully activate windows 8.1

A couple of days ago I rebooted the laptop as it was funning a little slow. Upon reboot I was forced to do a recovery after trying a few of the suggestions on the troubleshooting screen. I went through the recovery process with my recovery disks and since then reinstalled my software apps and files.
I am getting failure on activating Windows 8.1.
My machine is a S55-A5176
I have had it for just over a year. Not sure what caused the failure, but now I can't successfully complete the updates of the OS or activate it.
I don't get a phone number on the screen. Just the following:
Windows can't activate right now.
Try again later. If that doesn't work, contact support.
The link, "See support info online" doesn't do anything.
I also tried running the process from the command line, 'slui.exe 4' but it doesn't do anything after answering United States for country.
Am I stuck with having to try the revocery over again.

Can you burn new recovery discs? Or maybe make a flash drive this time.
See the instructions in the section Creating recovery media, which begins on p. 54 of the User's Guide.
