Recovery Media Creator Failed continuiously for Satellite C670

I am at my wits end I have tried everything possible, read the heip manual and shut down everything possible, sleep modes and all and still no luck. The errors I am getting are:
failed to burn: bin backup.ini
failed to burn: checkmaxptsize.exe
I am tired of wasting DVD-R's 10 of them so far. Will Toshiba sell me recovery disks? But I would like to really know why my Recovery Media Creator is not working.

There are two possible issues:
Either the CD/DVD drive laser lens is dirty and cannot handle all disk properly or the disks are not fully compatible.
Would recommend cleaning the laser lens using an cotton wool tip and alcohol in most cases its good enough to cleaning the lens
Furthermore try to use other disks from different brands..
TDK R disks or Verbatim R are good never had any problems using it

> I don't have a free usb drive to test the usb mode.
I would recommend you to purchase an separate USB memory stick and to create the such recovery USB flash memory media.
Please check also this different procedure described in this Toshiba HowTO

Error code: 0d00f6-49-00000001" then accept next error "there has been an unexpected error. out of this application and restart it. Error code: 0D0172-49-00000001" Then accept, the application open correctly.
Please, I need a solucion of the errors, Thanks.

Hey,
I dont know what to say but fact is you cant start Toshiba recovery disk creator there is not much what you can do because you cant download this program on official Toshiba website.
In your case I would try to recover your notebook to factory settings using HDD recovery option:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm
After this create the recovery disk again before you install any new software or something else.
I could also imagine that you installed another program that blocks recovery disk creator but its hard to say about this so try HDD recovery and see what happens.

Toshiba Recovery Media Creator Error Code 020150-20-00000000 (Satallite L755-S5308)

We just received 2 - Toshiba Satallite L755-S5308 Laptops over the thanksgiving holiday from Best Buy and the first thing we normally do after powering up the laptops is to create our recovery disc sets to DVD's. However, both laptops are giving the same error message on both machines at the same point in the creation of the Recovery DVD Disc 4 when using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Please See Eror Message Below:
Failed To Read The Following File.
D:\ZZImages\ZZImages\Preinst18.swm
(Error Code: 020150-20-00000000)
If you are getting this error message then you will not be able to restore your laptop factory software and operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

You could create an image of the entire HDD onto another drive, but this can be a headache for a lot of users and would require specialized hardware and a HDD enclosure. As such, it's not a feasible solution.
Oh,come now. You can buy 'specialized hardware' -- an HDD enclosure -- from a widely known online computer store for $12.99 with free shipping, and a spare plain old Seagate 500 GB hard drive (nothing very special about it, except that it costs more since the flooding in Thailand) running at 7200 rpm from a different widely known online computer store for $99.99 (shipping extra). Seagate gives away its branded version of Acronis True image for free. It is not that hard to use. I believe the L755 has a 500 GB 5400 rpm hard disc drive, so this Seagate may make the laptop run faster under some conditions. Creating an image of the laptop HDD onto this 2nd HDD mounted in the enclosure may take hours, but consider the only other alternative, below:
Anyone who thinks that solution is not feasible can just wait until their one and only hard disc drive fails or develops a software problem. Without usable recovery discs, the machine must be dropped off or mailed to a service center. Compare the waiting and the expense to have someone else solve that kind of problem with the effort and expense of preventing it. If you don't mind being without your computer for a few days or weeks, go for the simple way.
By the way, even the best home-burned optical discs are prone to develop unexpected failures after they are created. I've never had a factory pressed optical disc properly stored develop a late failure. If these work out of the box, they work a couple of years later. The technologies behind a home-burned disc and a factory-pressed disc are different.
Getting back to my original point, should your 1st HDD fail, and should you have a 2nd HDD with the cloned image of the 1st HDD, your recovery takes as long as it takes to remove HDD #1, installed HDD #2, and reboot your laptop, involving about 5 minutes of your time and perhaps a small screwdriver. You can test whether or not your cloned backup works the same way, by installing HDD #2 and seeing if it works. If you only have a single HDD, there is no good way to test your recovery media, since they overwrite your original HDD.

Question about Recovery Media Creator

Hello everyone, first of all, I don't know if this question should be in this catergory, but I thought this would be the best to post in.
My question is about the Recovery Media Creator procces. I was about to create the recovery DVD and I noticed there are several Recovery Media options (Recovery Media 1 to Recovery Media 3).
My question is, what are the differences between them? Does it matter if I only check one of them so I would need less DVD's or a smaller USB?
Thanks in advance.
PS. excuse my grammar or bad explanation if there is any mistake.

Using Toshiba recovery media creator recovery image saved on HDD will be copied on DVDs or USB media and it will be created as bootable media.
How many discs must be used depends on recovery image. For some notebooks 2 discs are needed and for some of them you need 3 discs.
The tool gives you also info which medias you can use and suggest you, for instance which USB device you need. For my U940 is 16 GB USB listed as suggested due to 9,2 GB recovery image.

Portg Z30-A-182 - Recovery Media Creator Error

Hi,
I have a brand new Portg Z30-A-182, have installed my office and virusscan and now want to create a set of Recovery DVD's using Recovery Media Creator.
I use a Samsun external DVD-writer and DVD+RW disc's.
I keep getting the error 0E01BA-49-00000000 when the software wants to start writing to the DVD.
I searched the internet and this seems an error which occurs frequently and does not get solved using other type of discs.
How do I solve this error ?
I saw that I can BUY a set of recovery discs with Toshiba online, but that can not be the purpose with a brand new pc ???

Can you plese test functionality when you try to create recovery USB stick?
I have machine without ODD too and I have created recovery USB. It is for me more komfortable than using DVDs.
By the way: in the past i have created recovery DVDs using DVD-R medias only.

Downloads here
I have downloaded it from the Toshiba website..
I don't see it among the downloads at the link above. So I doubt you've got the right program.
See if you can locate the following file in either the Program Files or the Program Files (X86) folder. It should be the program you're looking for.
TRMCLcher.exe
Let us know what you learn.
Otherwise, you can order recovery media from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.

Recovery media creator: "Can not get Disk driver information. No HDD Recovery area!...

The Toshiba Recovery Media Creator can not be launched."
That´s the final part of the message I receive when I try to make the system image.
As you can see (image below), this recovery partition exists, I haven´t deleted nor modified it in any way, and besides it´s in good state. I don´t understand why I get this error message. What can I do to get this recovery partition recognized by the application. I really need to make a system image.
Please, if somebody has any idea of how to fix this thing, I´d really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advanced.

Will, I'm afraid you'll need to order recovery discs and restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using them.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
BTW, the 1.46 GB partition you're looking at is not the recovery partition. It contains the Windows Recovery Environment.

Satellite Pro S500 - Recover Media Creator fails to start

I have received a new Satellite Pro S500 laptop. After initial setup, I have Windows 7 64bit working. I wanted to create the recovery media but the process fails.
After starting the "Toshiba Recoverx Media Creator" I get a dialog box where I can choose the language for the recovery media. My language is german. So I select German and press OK. For some seconds there is another Dialog Box with a Text "Please Wait..." and after some soconds it closes itself. Nothing happend.
Any other language selection in the first dialog box lead to the same behaviour. Even tried in Windows safe mode, but always the same.
Is there a log file?
Any help is appreciated

Hello Caramel
I presume you have bought your notebook in Switzerland, right? as far as I know only in Switzerland Toshiba notebooks are offered on several languages.
Anyway, recovery disc creation should work properly if recovery data are not removed or deleted.
Have you may be changed partitions structure on HDD or maybe deleted something?
It sounds to me that recovery data are missing and recovery disc creation cannot be started.

Problem with the Recovery Media Creator

Hello, I just bought an Portege Z385-p370, it came in yesterday morning (April 23- 2012) Brand new, an I haven't had it for 24 hours and I am already having problems.
As I read that I should make the Recovery Media, went on and bought a 16G USB, plugged in to the laptop and started the process. It lasted like 2 hours in like 30% of completion and that was all, I had to cancellit, didn't work either. So I used CTR + ALt + Del, and close it. Then I tried to shut down the lap top, and surprise, didn't work either, lasted like 20 minutes until I did it manually.
I have been trying to Create the Recovery like 5 times already, erased all of mi files from the computer (in order to get it factory-like) and I am currently running the Recovery again (has been in 30% for 10 minutes already). Last time I did it, It stopped like in 70% completion (on safe mode restart).
PD. pc has no CD drive
Please help me, It is getting into my nerve, doing this into a brand new.
my email. [email protected] I some one has any clue on this.
thank you very much.

it came in yesterday morning. Brand new, an I haven't had it for 24 hours and I am already having problems.
I am currently running the Recovery again ... Last time I did it, It stopped like in 70% completion
I would return that computer post haste.

Error Message 040EAE-5D-0000000 when trying to create recovery media creator

I need to create a recovery backup, and have a 20 G brand-new Verbatim thumb drive for it. When I go to try to create a backup on the thumb drive, the first error message was a general one. Started over, and then got the error code 040EAE-5D-0000000. I can't find anything on this error code after searching the forum, and on Google. I need to create a backup on the thumb drive, but I just can't seem to get this to work. Help, please.

Things got worse. In doing research, it appeared that a driver might have been the issue. So I went to the Toshiba site to look at drivers for my laptop. There were a number listed. I installed several system updates, and now my laptop won't boot windows. The following is the startup repair error message I'm now getting:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21200529
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 7
Problem Signature 07: Bad driver
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
I really don't want to put this thing in a box and ship it to Toshiba. I need to back out the drivers that were installed. But I need to get Win 7 to boot to do so. It would have been great if I had been able to create the system recovery media that I was trying to create in the first place.

Which Recovery Media DVDs are unique for each delivered pc?

This is related to the other thread: what is "boot media" and "data media"
Having just finished making recovery media for the E520 I've just purchased for my daughter, I'm soon going to need to repeat the process for the other identical E520 I've just purchased for my other daughter.
I'm lead to believe that the Windows 7 media is unique for each pc, but during the creation of the recovery media, the process created 4 x DVD.
1. Bootable CD/DVD.
* Volume label: CD_ROM
* 305 MB
2. Recovery DVD 0.
* Volume label: RCD_AppCD0
* 3.62 GB
3. Recovery DVD 1.
* Volume label: RCD_AppCD1
* 4.04 GB
4. Recovery DVD 2.
* Volume label: RCD_AppCD2
* 1.22 GB
Do I need to make another complete set of 4 x CD/DVD or is only one of these unique for that pc hardware?
This is for a Thinkpad E520 (1143CTO) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If the systems really are identical you don't really need to make another set, the set you made will work. That said, it can't be a bad thing to have two sets in case one set get's damaged, lost or whatever.
In such situations I prefer wearing belt and braces.
