Recovery For A505-s6005

I bought the new a505-s6005 and have already partitioned the hard disk with out creating the recovery disk...can I now create the recovery disk and will the recovery disk restore the out of the box settings if I try to recover it...and also is creating recovery disk using the bundled recovery disk creator is ok or should i use another software...THANK YOU
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the recovery media software is on there for that reason. as long as you didnt do any damage to the recovery partitions you will still be able to make your recovery media. you should always make the media before you repartition the HDD because if you mess up the recovery partition you will have to get a set of recovery media from toshiba for $25. the only way to know is to try to run the recovery media creator and see if it will let you create the discs.

BIOS Recovery procedure for Satellite A505-S6005 PSAT6U. How I do it?

Hi there!
I have a Toshiba A505-S6005 PSAT6U and have an update corrupted while update the BIOS of my laptop.
Since that time my laptop overheated and I want to lower it to version 1.3, ie the above that worked well.
During the upgrade process, my laptop was turned off and then started, but too hot.
What would be the process of recovering a BIOS in case of crisis, not boot after updating the BIOS?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

I will be returning my A505-S6005. Help me to avoid the restocking fee by reading this list.

About five days ago I bought a Toshiba A505-S6005 laptop at Best Buy. I am so sorry I did because this computer has been a pain in the **bleep** since day one. I have numerous problems or errors with the unit, but the system still works (to a point) and I would think that a Geek Squad agent would deem it as operational and I would be subject to a restocking fee. Here is a list of issues I have seen or experienced with it. Maybe someone can really attest that it is indeed defective and I can get all of my refund.
List of errors or issues.
1. Very slow startup. (This is a Core i3, but it does not seem like it. I think I would get better performance from a cheapie Celeron)
2. Stuttering audio at startup and while playing media..(online media, videos, music, and normal Windows Operations, Windows Media Center)
3. Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered error. Experienced numerous times during startup or restarts
4. Completely blank screen while running on battery. Plugged in and it did not help. (After turning it on for the day) No backlight or anything. As if screen is off.
5. Acronis True Image cannot find any Hard Disk Drives when running the recovery manager from the bootable CD or within the Windows recovery methods. (have followed advice of forum posters, all of which have failed. Have also tried to generate a system report which also failed.)
6. Very noisy DVD/CD drive when burning discs (Makes extremely loud vibrating sound)
7. Problems with camera sensing light in well lit room. (not sure if this is an issue or not) although it does not hapen all the time.
I think this is everything I have experienced so far. I am not sure if there are other issues or not. But there might very well may be.

I agree, go bring it back to them. If its within 14days they should not ask for a restocking fee.

Problem with windows 7 on a Satellite A505-S6005

About a year ago I bought that model, everything worked fine, sound, video, everything.
About 2 or 3 months a nasty virus attacked my laptop and I had to reinstall the windows 7 home premium 64 bits.
And after reinstalling the OS I downloaded and installed all the drivers, but the Problem I came up with is that although I installed the drivers I couldn't make use of any programs that required the use of the graphic card, I would really like some help with this Problem, because I really need to use the graphic card for some programs at the university help please.

Satellite A505-S6005
I had to reinstall the windows 7 ... I downloaded and installed all the drivers
Your best bet is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
If you don't have the recovery partition and you didn't burn recovery discs, then order the discs from Toshiba.

Upgrading to Windows 7 Pro on a new A505-S6005

Hi There,
This has probably been asked before but I could not find an exact answer when searching so here goes...
Just got a new A505-S6005 with 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I made my system recovery DVDs and now want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. The version of Windows 7 Professional that I have is the full version. It will not allow me to upgrade from the existing Windows 7 Home Premium. So if I do the full install of Windows 7 Professional which DVDs and which programs do I also need to restore from the recovery DVDs? I have a total of 5 recovery DVDs. I think #5 is the Drivers. When reading the owners manual I could only find information for performing a complete restore back to the original factory state. I want the drivers and some software like Roxio restored but not Windows Home Premium. Anyone know the steps to do this? Can I even do this? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Certainly the best thing to do is an Anytime Upgrade.

Satellite A505-S6005 wont boot up

Let me expain what happened.
I graduated yesterday and as a graduation present I recieved this laptop. I have only had it for about 1 day and it already crashed. My father was helping me install some security software called Panda. After installing it we had to shut the computer down for it to take effect. It took forever to start back up and sat at the welcome screen for about an hour. This morning I was able to use it just fine but then shut it off to conseve power and so I could go do something else. When I came back to it the screen still said it was shutting down. My father used to work for a computer company and told me to hold down the power button and turn it off. So I did. Ever since then it will take me to the Windows is starting page (I have windows 7) and it will sit there for hours on end then the screen will go black. I have tried restarting it but it will not let me start it in safemode. The number lock will work but it is delayed. I know it is not completely dead because the number lock works. Please please help me. I'm desperate. I dont have a back up disk or anything. I was going to do that today but then this happened.

It may very well be a hardware problem, in which case you would want to return the computer right away.
But first try restoring the hard disk to its original factory-new state using Toshiba recovery media. See the section Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method) starting on p. 61 of the User's Guide.

Restoring a Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 Drivers

Hello,
I've just wiped my dad's computer, deleted the partition, created another one, reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, and am looking for drivers to install. I went to Intel's website and installed the Intel Driver Update Utility. I've been able to update the Intel Display drivers just fine but I need all the rest of the drivers for the laptop motherboard.
I've found the drivers area on the support portion of this website. I'm looking for a zipped folder that will contain an .exe file that will install the needed drivers. Does anyone know if something like this exists or if I could be pointed to the correct files? The list of device's that need drivers are indescript in the Device Manager.
Thanks for your help!

Downloads here.

No such thing. In addition, the order of installation matters. Why struggle? When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media all of the drivers and utilities are properly loaded. And Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 70 of the User's Guide.

A505-S6005 DVD player is LOUD!!

Hi Everyone,
I just bought the A505-s6005 model & have loved it....until last night. I played my first DVD & was really looking forward to the picture/sound quality over my last laptop. However, the player was SO loud that I had to turn the sound all the way up just to hear it. Also, the vibration from the player was terrible & I can't imagine that it won't cause damage to other parts of the computer. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix...or do I just need to take it back and (sigh) start over with a new one? I hate having to set everything up again but once of the main reasons I chose this computer was to watch DVD's, play games, etc.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Beth

I brought this very same computer not too long ago. I absolutely fell in love with it. The only problems I had were the size (its a little too big to carry around like I would like to) and the fingerprints (if in the office or in public it makes it look so dirty, I was constantly wiping it down)..I was willing to overlook those things because I was so impressed with things such as the screen quality, Harmon/kardon speakers, ample memory and hard disk size, the amazing touch pad (which I spent hours of trial and error customizing it just right)..I brought it from Best Buy, and get this, on the 13th day I watched my first DVD ( I usually watch online media), to my surprise after popping it in, it sounded like a helicopter was taking off under my laptop--the disk was voiently attempting to escape, I had to put in noise canceling earbuds so that I could even hear the movie. I was so disappointed on the next day when I had to transfer all my info, and uninstall EVERYTHING! I took it back on the 14th day ( the last day BB allows returns), I even recorded me playing a DVD and the noise it makes to prove the laptop was defective so that I didn't have to pay the 15% restocking fee..But to my surprise, when I talked to the geek squad guy, it was as if he already knew what the problem was with this model, without me even having to say anything. Needless to say, I did not get another one. Has anyone found a better option, with comparable specs. Because of this incident, and all of the work I put into this computer set up in vain, im willing to spend a bit more money inorder to eliminate the fingerprint problem (it is REALLY bad, I mean blaringly noticeable and irritating), and the lack of probability. Any thoughts would be welcome. Maybe I'll try out a Mac..Then again, I really have fallen for windows 7, it's amazing.

Downloading a Satellite A505-S6005 X64 Driver

After having used the recovery partition to set the computer back to factory default,
my computer inexplicably went from being a x64-bit to a x32-bit.
A friend told me to download the video driver, which I think is from this resource:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2515202& rpn=PSAT6U&modelFilter=A505-S6005&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663
I am not the most computer literate, though.
I have no idea which one(s) to select.
Please help, all. Thank you in advance.

> After having used the recovery partition to set the computer back to factory default,
>my computer inexplicably went from being a x64-bit to a x32-bit.
I think you mixed up something.
I think your has installed the 32bit system instead of 64bit.
So in such case you have to repeat the recovery procedure once again to choose the 64bit system.
I hope you have created the recovery disk.

Sound and Mouse Problem on Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 - Related?

Hello-
I bought my A505 back at the end of April and have had these two annoying problems that I have been trying to solve for about three plus months now. The first started right out of the box as it were and it involves the sound "burping" at me periodically. It's a hard sound to describe. It's kind of like a digital croak or a stutter all rolled into one. It now likes to do this exactly at midnight every night, when the CPU usage will spike, but I can't find anything running at that time (I don't have any virus scans, defrags, etc. set for that time). High CPU usage normally doesn't cause this anyway - I'll be running how many programs and the sound will be fine.
My other problem is a recent one and that is that the mouse pointer will periodically just hang up for a few seconds every so often. It's not a battery problem (I use a wireless Logitech) seeing as I keep it well fed and I tried using a wired mouse and got the same hang up.
Are these two problems related? I've tried to find information on this but haven't found anything useful to me. I've tried turning down the fancy settings on my Windows, turning of my webcam and microphone, everything.
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

A505-S6005 No Longer Recognizes Disks in CD Drive

My A505-S6005 laptop no longer sees discs in the DVD/CD drive. Explorer still shows the drive, Hardware Manager says the driver is current and that the device is working properly, but nothing I put into it is recognized or accessible. I don't know if this is a Toshiba problem or a Windows 7 issue. Any suggestions?

Looks like a hardware issue.
Can you try booting off a Boot CD or DVD. Try going into windows in Safe mode. This will help narrow down the problem.
Good Luck,

Is anyone doing disaster recovery for a J2EE application?

We generally use database log shipping to maintain a standby database for our ABAP instances. We can successfully fail over our production application to our disaster recovery site with no real issues. With the J2EE instances (EP, ESS/MSS, BI, etc), we have a few concerns:
hostname cannot change, without going through a system copy procedure, so we would have to keep the hostnames in DR the same. (for example, ref: oss note 757692 - changing hostname is not supported)
fully qualified domain name - from what I understand, there are potentially issues with changing the fqdn, for example SSO certificates, BSPs, XI has issues, etc.
we can't keep both hostname and fqdn the same between DR and production, or we could never do a DR test.
Has anyone implemented disaster recovery for any SAP J2EE application that has run into these concerns and addressed them? Input would be greatly appreciated regarding how you addressed these issues, or how you architected your disaster recovery implementation.
Regards,
David Hull
The Walt Disney Company

I haven't done this personally, but I do have some experience with these issues in different HA environments.
To your first point: You can change the hostname, note 757692 tells you exactly how to do it. However like the note says, "Changing the name of a host server in a production system is not automatically supported by SAP." When it says "supported by SAP" I think it means SAP the company, not SAP's software. So I would contact SAP to see if this configuration would be covered under your service agreement. Then you have to think about whether you want to do something that isn't "officially supported" by SAP. Also I'm sure you'll need some kind of additional licensing for the DR systems as their hardware keys will de different.
To your second point: As for SSO certs (SAP Login Tickets), I think they should still work as long as the SID and client number of the issuing system remain the same. I don't think they are hostname or fqdn dependant. For BSPs I would think they would still work as long as they use relative paths rather than absolute paths. And for XI... I have no idea what kind of issues may arise, I'm not an XI guy.
Again, I haven't done what you're describing myself. This is just based on my HA experiences.
Hope this helps a little,
Glenn

Advice on best way to setup Disaster Recovery for SOA Suite 10.1.3.4

Hi Everyone,
I need some advice on the best way to setup Disaster Recovery for a SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 install deploying JSF/ADF OC4J applications.
The way we are trying to do it at the moment is manually copy the "applications" and "applications-deployments" folders for the OC4J application on the production server, then compress and ship the files across to the DR application server nightly. (We don't require high availability).
In the event of a disaster we then extract the files and copy to the OC4J instance (pre-created and configured) on the DR server. Unfortunately to date we haven't been able to reliably setup a DR application (seem to mostly get 404 errors etc), even though the OC4J application has its connection pool resolved to the DR database and is showing as "up" in the ASConsole.
My question is, is there a more "native" way to do what we are trying to do. We do not have Enterprise version of SOA Suite or 11g database so any advanced recovery features are not an option. The setup is also stand alone, i.e. we are not using clustering or RAC etc.
Any ideas would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Leigh.
PS we are also running the production apps server with Oracle Application server 10g 10.1.2.3.0 as the HTTP apache server (with Forms, Reports and Discoverer deployed) and the SOA Suite 10.1.3 applications use the 10.1.2 HTTP server via the HTTP to AJP bridge. So the 10.1.3 OC4J instance is configured to use AJP on port range 12501 - 12600.

For enterprise solutions, AS Guard would work.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/core.1013/b15977/disasrecov.htm#sthref303
However, since advanced recovery options are not available (as you said), then what you are doing should not be too bad.

How to do the hard recovery for exchange 2010 (No Restore.env generated)

enrollment:Windows server 2008 R2, exchange 2010.
I want to test the fundamentally of eseutil /cc
so I backup the exchange database by Using the Windows backup, then I restore the database, and no Restore.env be found.But I found I can run the
eseutil /r.
what's happened?
1,why No Restore.env generated for exchange 2010 in Windows server 2008 r2?
2,why I can do the soft recovery after the restoring the database?
3, how to do the hard recovery for this situation(No Restore.env )?
Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!

Hi Eric,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. Before performing the restore process, we need to dismount the Exchange databases that we want to restore. If the database is still mounted, the restore process will fail. If the restore process doesn't succeed, Restore.env won't be generated.
2. It is because the log files are healthy, you can run Eseutil/r and perform soft recovery.
3. In your case, you can continue to perform the soft recovery.
For more information about hard recovery and soft recovery, here are some helpful threads for your reference.
