Recovery disk help needed

I recently replaced the disc drive on my Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 laptop. I attempted to use the recovery discs that came with the laptop but only one disc ran & formatted the drive. Why didn't it ask for me to insert the 2nd disc? After reinstalling Windows XP, I find I cannot connect to the internet or even locate my wireless wifi.. Also, how many MB's should I set aside when formatting the drive for partitioning?

After reinstalling Windows XP, I find I cannot connect to the internet....
Start over with a clean install of Windows, because the order of installation matters.
Install the Intel chipset software followed by its display driver prior to any other driver. (Ignore all that nVidia and ATI stuff.) Install the Common Modules before any other Toshiba utility
I would create a single partition encompassing the entire drive.

  • In my macbook pro retina 15 inch there is installed mavericks but ı want to create recovery disk and ı need to download mavericks from App Store but it doesn't download??

    Hey guys ı really need your help. I bought macbook pro retina 15 inch 2 weeks ago and it came with installed mavericks of course but ı want to create a recovery disk and to do that ı need to download mavericks installer from app store but when i click to download mavericks from appstore purchased part ı get a message says " Your purchasing process couldnt complete. OS X Mavericks cant be installed to this computer." How can ı solve this problem!??

    One way around tis is to borrow a Mac that can run Mavericks and then the download will work.  You can use these instructions:

  • Recovery Disk Help

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm having some trouble with my new T510 and was wondering if anyone could help me out. Firstly I'm not good at using computers, I'm a complete newbie. So I'm sorry for the vague descriptions.
    Anyway, I was told by my friend to create the Lenovo Factory Recovery Disks and since I didn't know anything about laptops, I just did what she said and followed the instructions. I inserted a DVD and it popped out asking for another disk, so I ended up following what the laptop was telling me until the 5th disk. When I inserted the 5th, the DVD drive wouldn't response, I doubled click and nothing would turn it in. I clicked on Thinkvantage as it was telling me a driver was disabled. I didn't know what to do, so I restarted the laptop and the DVD drive turned back on, but by then I had cancelled the creating the lenovo factory recovery disk. My laptop then had a new driver called SYSTEM_DRV (S as well as the Lenovo Recovery (Q, but the (Q drive folder is empty. But when I restarted the laptop again, the (S disappeared but the (Q drive is still there but empty.
    So I don't know what I should do now, should I try to make a new  set of recovery disk. I've heard other people say that you can only create the recovery disks once, but mine was interrupted, and I didn't finished completing the set. Would I still be able to recover my laptop to factory mode even without the disk.
    Thanks in advance for helping,
    Jo
    BTW, my laptop is Windows7 64 bit.

    You don't need a set of recovery disks as long as the recovery partition is not altered. Unfortunately, that can happen beyond user consent (e.g. system errors, viruses ...), so this is why making a set of recovery disks is highly recommended.
    "Factory Recovery Disks" tool lets you know if a set of disks was previously (successfully) made by showing an appropriate message. If you don't get that message, you must try and create the set of disks again.
    If you use DVD's, I think it should take 2 or 3 discs for the whole set: 1 for the boot disc (aka Rescue Media) and 1 or 2 for the factory recovery discs.
    The recovery partition may show as empty in Win Explorer, but you should see that it's actual size is approx. 9GB.
    Be sure to read the following guide for more details:

    You need a utility to reset the DMI string.

  • Thinkpad R52 Recovery Disks -- HELP!

    I recently bought a set of Thinkpad R52 Recovery Disks from "ThinkpadRestore.com," and they sent me an incomplete set!
    I have all the disks except "Product Recovery CD #2." They won't answer my emails or their phone or the voice messages I've left them. So I'm dead in the water here. I'm going to have to dispute the purchase through Paypal.
    I have tons of work to do, and I can't find any way to get this one CD.
    Can anyone help me on this? I've looked on the web and don't see any other alternative suppliers. Could someone possibly help me? Does anyone have this one CD? Dropbox? Something?
    Thanks for any help you can suggest.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    There's a fairly recent conversation about that vendor over here: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/Is-this-a-legitimate-company/td-p/880009
    Doesn't look too good
    I don't know if Lenovo support still has R52 media available.  Give them a call: 1-800-426-7378, 24 hr / 7 days
    That's where I'd go first for legit recovery media in the US.

  • Recovery Disk Instructions Needed For Mini - Lion Failed

    I do not have a TM backup, but I see the "Recovery Disk" and my ML install simply restarts and panics. I need to rollback ASAP. This is business. Please provide instructions to recover from Recovery Disk.
    Thanks.

    boot up, hold cmd R, while the chime is sounding and then you should boot into the recovery partition.
    Verify and repair disks and permissions and Reinstall ML.
    There is no way for you to go back since you didn't make a backup of your computer before updating.
    ML is better then L anyway
    A reinstall might fix your issue.

  • Disk Utility - Can't repair Disk - Help needed :(

    Hi,
    I have some trouble to use Disk Utility (on my iBook G4 - 1.33 Ghz+1 GB RAM)
    I run Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions, which worked, and then Verify Disk. HEre is the logged result:

    I also tried TechTool Deluxe coming with Applecare protection plan, but TTD can not check the "Volume Structure".
    Has anyone got any tips or sequence to solve this?
    Thanks in advance

    I just ran the Disk Utility, and cannot very disk. It gives me an error message;
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    and when I run the repair, this is the message:
    The volume GERRARD could not be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    Repair attempted on 1 volume
    1 volume could not be repaired
    Prior to running Disk Utility, I have already tried DiskWarrior, and could not repair my disk. Anyway I can fix this problem??? Formatting the disk would be my last option (though I am unsure if it will fix the problem). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continue to back up my file, and delete unused data and try to run it again.
    Thank you all very much for any input.
    Cheers,
    Matt

  • Recovery mode help needed

    thanks
    Mick the yid

    Have you updated Itunes to the latest version?
    When you connect the USB cord to your computer does Itunes see the iphone?
    (if it does what does it say exactly)
    If its in recovery mode you will need to restore & update it.
    Which there should be a button in itunes under (devices on the left side that should say Iphone)
    When you click on that it should take you to a screen that has a restore button.
    Click on the button and follow the on screen guide to update it.

    Repairing permissions is generally irrelevant (certainly the oft-given advice to repair before installing something, as authorizing an installer with your password allows it to override whatever previous settings there may have been, anyway), and the "error" messages usually meaningless.
    It CAN make a difference, so there's some merit to running it when you have problems, but those cases are extremely rare.
    The invalid sibling link, however, is a serious problem. It means there is a structural problem with your hard disk's contents. You must start up the computer from the install DVD and select Disk Utility from the "Utilities" menu as soon as that shows up, and repair the disk. Once it says "successfully repaired", run it again until it says "appears to be OK".

    it connected... in side, originally
    I just removed the DVD and put a SSD into that room as my system drivers. The HD is untouched.
    As you seen in screenshot (show hidden file), if I deleted the .fcpuser and .fcplock, it'll autmatically create every time I run FCPX, even i mount this driver after FCPX launchs.
    All the video file is store in lightroomlibrary. and tones photos are in photos folder.
    Is it possible that FCPX will scan the file on my disks and happneds that one of video files is broken?
    I'm removing all the files to my mobiledrive, it'll take some minuts to see the result.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 installation disk help needed

    I bought Elements 10 from the Apple store awhile ago, but have just got around to installing it for the first time.  CD 1 won't autoplay and I'm not sure what to do from here.  Somewhere it was suggested to try downloading the trial version and entering the serial #, when prompted to purchase, but I can;t get the trial version to work.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    In what way is the trial version not working for you?  Also if you have only purchased Photoshop Elements 10 then Disc three should be labeled stating it is for Mac OS.  You can find more details at Install Premiere Elements, Photoshop Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/install-premiere-elements-photoshop-elements. html.

  • MacBook start up disk help needed
