Recovery disc wont start - Satellite L10

Trying to use the recovery disc on my L10. The manual says to put the disc in and start the computer while downpressing "C"...nothing happends and when i release "C" it goes into normal windows mode...Anyone ?

Hi
By pressing the C button the unit should automatically boot from the CD/DVD drive. But if doesnt work so you can try to change the BIOS booting order (CD drive at the first place).
Put the Recovery CD into the drive and start the unit again

Re: Need Win 7 Recovery Disc for my Satellite Pro L750

Hi all,
Could someone tell me where to download or get a copy of the OEM Win 7 Recovery disc for my Satellite Pro L750? The laptop has a new HDD without a working recovery partition and I don't the recovery CD.
Help Please.

Yes of course you should make backup disks but this was my first personal laptop (unbelievable, right ? Never needed one before) and I wasn't aware i couldn't just make a recovery disk from any pc like I used to do for my desktop. The hdd is supposed to last for what, 5,000 hours ?
I would be lucky to have had more than 1,000 hours on it. And no games play either; it had an easy life.
As per Microsoft Forums I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a supposedly OEM setting download from Digital River (OEM in the 'channel' setting in the ei.efg file) but good old Toshiba must do something else in the hardware as slmgr /dli still states it's a 'retail' version so even though Microsoft would have given me a new product key (as to which i am entitled as i have purchased a licence when i bought the laptop), because the installation id states retail based, my genuine licence key number from the bottom of the laptop does not register as genuine when they check.
I tried my desktop pc oem windows 7 installation disk that I got with the pc (now there's a whacky idea, providing a disk with the purchase...) and no luck there either. The laptop was still locked to its own licence key and retail version. I'm guessing even if i bought a new retail windows copy, it still wouldn't work !
I still think $66 is far too much to pay to get the disks. I've already paid for the windows licence, But what choice has toshiba left me, other than to pay them their blood money.
I may be a slow learner, but I do learn. I will never buy a Toshiba laptop, or other Toshiba product again. Sure, other companies will have the same licensing setup, but I'm not angry at them !

Cannot use the recovery disc with my Satellite A100

I have Satellite Pro A100 Series, when I boot it up it tells me "Windows could not starte because the following file is missing or corrupt" \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
I have tried to reboot with the recovery disc in and pressed F12 for the boot menu, selected CD/DVD and nothing happens.
Any help or ideas would be great,.

Hi!
This is strange but if you have tested different disks on your notebook it seems that your CD/DVD drive is faulty and must be replaced.
How do you think about this?
If you have Windows Vista on your notebook you can use the HDD recovery function. Go in the advanced boot menu, select repair my computer and follow the screen instructions.
Anyway, I think you must replace the CD/DVD drive to solve the issue.
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.

Are Recovery Discs bootable? - Satellite A300

Hi,
I'm having some issues making the Recovery Disc (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=38328&tstart=0 ), but as the main file burned to the discs is a 1+ GB *".exe"* one, I am starting to wonder if the discs are really expected to be bootable... after all you'd +usually+ require a windows envionment to execute such a file.
Or maybe the files required to "run" that .exe are supposed to be in the bootable part of the disc?
Thanks in advance.

Fedora DVD burned in the laptop booted just fine.
These are the contents of the Recovery Disc the system is creating

Could someone copare it to their RD and see if spot any difference??

Questions about recovery discs and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

I bought a Satellite A200-QH0 model in Australia and due to lack of forums in our country I'd like to ask some questions here if that's ok.
The notebook contains 3 partitions - a 1.6GB "EISA Configuration" partition, the large OS partition, and the recovery partition. So I've made the recovery DVD??s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool as we aren't supplied with an actual disc. But I would like to know what these discs will do? My questions:
1. Will they truly return the hard drive back to _exactly_ how it was including the partition layout and pre-installed software?
2. Will the recovery DVDs work even if the drive has been repartioned? I would like to split the system partition to give space for data files etc. But will this extra partition stop the recovery procedure working properly?
Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire drive. I just want to split the OS partition. But in case I have to replace the drive in the future or something I'd like to know how close to "original" these discs will get me, no matter what I do to the drive?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi
Im not 100% sure how the recovery works on the Toshiba Australian notebooks but I presume the Recovery CD contains the Toshiba image with the Windows OS, drivers, tools and utilities.
I think if you would use the Recovery CD then the whole HDD will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.
I think the recovery partition will be not created using the recovery CD because the recovery CD was already created so the recovery partition is not necessary anymore
Regards

Can't create the recovery discs for Toshiba Satellite C55-A5387 Laptop

Hello, I just got my Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8 and have barely used it. One of the first things I did was go to the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator to make recovery discs but I get error messages when burning the DVDs.
Toward the end of burning the DVD I see this:
"Failed to read the following file.
D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install25.swm
(error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
Or this slightly different error messages:
"Failed to read the following file.
D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install16.swm
(error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
Lost
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the problem is the recovery partition on your hard drive instead of the DVD's you will have to call Tech support 1-800-457-7777 , Call while you still have 90 days free tech support.
Post your findings, thanks!

I tested the DVD, with a movie...it works.
Any suggestions?? or can I get this program BACK in proper working order..

Hi,
Did you try performing recovery using F11. If not then perform a factory reset by tapping F11 as soon as you turn it ON.
Here are the steps to perform a recovery using F11:
Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not access...
If recovery doesnt work then you'll have to get the recovery discs for the computer. You can get the discs by ordering them online or by calling technical support..
Order Recovery Discs for Windows 7, Vista, or XP
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Recovery disc(s) for Satellite A135-2266 - help? for laptop donation to kenya orphanage

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me here, or maybe tell me how to do this myself? I have a Satellite A135-2266 that needs to have the HD replaced. This computer, if I can get the recovery discs, will be donated to an orphanage in Kenya that our church supports. I will replace the HD myself, but I need the recovery discs (this was my son's laptop - he's in the navy and it died on him after only 6 mos, but he was not able to get it to land in time for warranty - and now he cannot locate the recovery disc. This is my plea for help. If anyone has recovery discs for this model, is there any chance they could copy them for me - I'd pay for the discs and shipping, so that I can fix it and get it to the orphanage? HELP? if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. I will be calling Toshiba to see if they can help me out, but I have faith in the users here to maybe be my salvation.
Many thanks!

Re: I lost recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

Hi there, my son has lost recovery disc 1 for his Satellite P10.
We have got disc 2 (drivers) but not disc 1.
Where can we obtain another recovery disc 1. and what will it cost approx .
Message was edited by: merdat

Hi
Usually you could order it from the ASP in your country but Im not quite sure if you will be able to order such disk because the P10 is an older notebook series and possibly the recovery disks are not more available for this model.
However, you should contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.
Good luck

Re: Error message while creating recovery disc on a satellite L300

I have tried to create my recovery discs on my new L300 laptop. Whilst creating the disc i get the following error:
Failed to read the following file F:\ZZImg|09115XSP.swm (Error code: 020150-20-00000000).
Anyone know what this means, and how to fix this problem? I have a very basic knowledge of IT and haven't got a clue how to sort this out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Luke.

Hi mate
Yes, I know this error
It appears because of usage not fully compatible disks
I had the similar issue and could solve this using another DVD from another manufacturer.
Check this it will help your too..

I can't finde the recovery disc from my Satellite A100-163

My A100 will not load - can't find the recovery disc. Can I use my A60 recovery disc on my A100 - 163 laptop?

Sorry, but you cant use the recovery disk from the A60. It will not work.
You can order a new recovery disk from Toshiba:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
Or you go to an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an ASP
You can also use an original Microsoft disk, but there you must install all drivers manual and this takes a lot of time.

HP S3120N. I replaced the motherboard, and the power supply, now the recovery discs wont work.

I am a not so proud owner of a HP Pavillion S3120N. I am running windows vista home edition. The motherboard went out, so I replaced it with a Zotac GeForce 8200-ITX Wifi Series. Now the computer says it is noa a valid hp solution, and the recovery discs do not work. is there a way to fix this problem without buying a new operating system?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes, return the Zotac motherboard and get a HP/Compaq OEM M2NC51-AR / HematiteXL-GL8E motherboard. I know that isn't the answer you want to hear but the recovery discs are locked to a specific set of HP/Compaq machines with specific HP OEM motherboards. Outside of that, you will need to purchase a new OS.

Dying light disc wont start up

I left my Dying Light game in my ps4 for months and didnt play it. When i try to start it up it won't load so I ejected it and put it back in. The ps4 was trying to read it but it won't load the game or even show the game icon. Please help and Thank you for your time.

Hi there, Kaosjohn! I am sorry to hear about this! Is it just the Dying Light disc that won't work on your PS4, or do other games not work on your PS4 as well? If other games do work, then the problem is probably with the Dying Light disc. If other games don't work as well, then there might be a problem with your PS4. If that's the case, then please feel free to contact the PlayStation Support Team! https://support.us.playstation.com/ Best regards,
