Recovery/Reinstall Win7 64bit on Qosmio F60

I was reistaling my computer using toshiba recovery hdd image and my power whent out and now everything is gone.
What can I do?
The only thing that comes up when I start the computer is: Insert system disk in drive.
press any key when ready..
I have 6 dvd's from Toshiba that say product reinstal but it aint working.
I need help...

Hello
Hey man what are you doing? It is logic that OS installation should not be interrupted and notebook must be connected to AC power supply.
What you can do now?
Only one way to install OS now is to use installation discs.
Have you created these discs on your own?
Try please to start installation using disc 1.
Do you know how to do this?

Can I format HDD and reinstall Windows 7 on Qosmio F60 without CD

I think my hard drive is failing on my Quosmio F60 so I want to reformat the hard drive to see if that will fix it. But I don't have the original packaging and information with me at the moment so I'm not sure if it came with a windows 7 CD or not. Either way, I don't have the CD.
I found on the net that most manufacturer's who deliver without a CD include a "recovery partition" or "factory image partition" that you can access during boot up. Does anyone know if the Quosmio F60 came with a CD or if it has this recovery partition or factory image partition? Or do you know if there's a way I can check if my computer has it?
If you have any other information on formatting the hard drive and reinstalling windows 7 without the CD please let me know.
Thanks.

The notebook did not come with an Windows disk because there is an tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator which create the recovery disk.
The recovery partition was available and it allows you to recover the notebook without the usage of recovery disk but this does not work if the HDD has failed.
Here a nice HowTo about HDD recovery
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
So if you dont have a recovery disk and cannot recovery the notebook using HDD recovery then you have two options:
- You will order a new recovery disk
- You would install Windows OS using an Microsoft disk

HP Pavilion g4, reinstall Win7 64bit fm a DVD disc, not work

I try to fix a problem for my friend's laptop. It is HP Pavilion G4
running Win 7 64bit OS. The laptop can not start up the windows. I
press ESC to pause the start up, and run system recovery, it shows BIOS
setup, system recovery and others, I then press Fn + 11 key to run
system recovery, but it never runs.
I then remove the HDD, and connect to my computer to run testing. It
seems it has something inside corrupted. It takes so long to recognize
all partitions. I decide to format all partitions and then resize
them. Afterwards, I run test and chkdsk. Everything is fine with the
HDD now. I put the HDD back to Laptop, and insert a DVD disc of Win
7, the laptop does not start from DVD. The screen shows as follows:
Hard Disk Error
Please run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics.
Hard Disk 1 (3F1)
F2 System Diagnostics
I visit the above link, I could not find relevant materials.
If I press ESC to exit start up. I can hear the DVD ROM is running,
but still not work. The screen shows as follows:
Startup Menu
F1 System Information
F2 System Diagnostics
F9 Boot Device Options
F10 BIOS Setup
F11 System Recovery
Enter - Continue Start up
Only F1 would respond when I press. Other Fn does not respond at all.
Do you have clue and suggestion for me ?

You do not use Fn + the key indicated.For instance to enter BIOS you simply tap F10. Recovery would have been F11, not Fn + F11.
You can order Recovery Media from HP for a small fee>> Contact HP

Pavillion p2-1122 - Unable to reinstall Win7 64bit

My boot sector is corrupt and I attempted to do a clean install from CD.
The installation process displays the Windows7 startup window. Then a blue screen with the message "Setup is starting". I then get a screen with a language select menu.After selecting "English" and clicking on next I get the screen with the license terms. Clicking next after accepting the terms brings up a screen that reads "Select the driver to be installed". This window shows no drivers. I scanned the cd for drivers but no acceptable drivers are found. How do I get past this step?
Thank you,

ASDM Launcher doesn't work on Win7 64 bit after reinstalling Win7

Reinstalled Win7 64bit and have been unable to get the ASDM launcher to work. I can connect to multiple ASAs via HTTPS. If I install the ASDM from v6.3.4 or 6.4.5, the launcher for that specific device works fine using:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaws.exe -localfile -J-Djnlp.application.href=https://<ipaddress>/admin/public/asdm.jnlp "C:\Users\rwrussell\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\30\2f5259de-112bec59"
However, the ASDM launcher which prompts you for the IP address of the node you want to connect to doesn't work. It pops up and prompts you for the address, username and password but then just hangs at "contacting the device, please wait. Sniffing the workstation's Ethernet shows that no packets are generated destined for the IP address of the ASA at all. The ASDM launcher is using the following:
Target: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaw.exe -Xms64m -Xmx512m -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture=true -classpath lzma.jar;jploader.jar;asdm-launcher.jar;retroweaver-rt-2.0.jar com.cisco.launcher.Launcher
Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\ASDM\"
The only troubles I see posted on the web are with regards to the launcher installing the target as SYSTEM32 instead of SysWOW64, but this is OK here. Java version is v7 update 9.

Well, I gave up and uninstalled Java 7 and the ASDM. After installing Java 6 update 27 and then reinstalling ASDM, it works fine again. I installed Java 7 again while leaving 6/27 installed and had the same issues. Uninstalled 7 again and everything works fine.
I really wish Cisco would write Java code that is forward and backward compatible. It seems we have this issue every few Java updates at which time Cisco will release something like ASDM v61557 or the like if they admit there is an issue at all. Performing the correct calls instead of taking proprietary shortcuts eliminates this problem with incompatible code between releases.

Qosmio F60-10K - Exact drivers or recovery disk

Hello,
I have recently purchased this model, however got some problems with HDD and had to fully format it. So Recovery function is lost. Couldnt find exact drivers for this model and as I used drivers I have found under name Qosmio F60, made laptop boot longer and Win Experience index is quite lower.
So the question is, where could I find exact drivers for Toshiba Qosmio F60-10K or order recovery DVD/BD?

Hi s0vijus,
If you search for exact drivers, it would be very interesting to know which OS you are using. The drivers for Windows 7 32bit and Windows 7 64bit are different so its an important information. Normally everything can be downloaded here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Last but not least you can order a recovery disk here from Toshiba directly but its not for free:

Qosmio F60-111 was delivered without any recovery disks

Dear Support Team,
Yesterday 31/07/2010 , i went to Toshiba distributer in KSA and i bought Qosmio F60-111, From Jarir Book Store.
When i arrived home, i found that the package don't have the Recovery disks, or the Operating system.
So please i want to know is this the deal?
To buy this powerful laptop and to be surprised that it don't have a recovery disks ?
I've checked the package so many times and i couldn't find any disk!
Please let me know if this is normal or i dunno.
I feel i am scammed :S
Anis.

Hi,
> but still my question is not answered!
> is it normal that the F60-111 Qosmio comes without recovery disks?
Yes, it is normal. I bought my laptop without a recovery disk, too. If you read product specifaction, you will find that your lap comes Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) You should burn recovery disk yourself

Qosmio F60 and Win7 x64 Drivers

Hi, i just purchased a Qosmio F60:- PQF65A-016002 and did a clean install of windows 7 Pro x64.
But i am now unable to find any drivers for it. i have looked in the toshiba support but it brings up no drivers for my machine.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks
Alastair

Hello Alastair
Why you have done this stupid mistake as hundreds of other notebook owners?
It is logic to check support at first and be sure certain operating system is fully supported and then installed own OS. Isnt it?
Qosmio F60 is newest notebook and even not available worldwide so you must be careful with support for it. The drivers will be offered soon or later but it can take some time.
What to do now?
Either go back to factory settings or try to use some drivers for other Qosmio models with similar hardware configuration. Try with X500. It is definitely supported for Win7 x64. Maybe Toshiba tools and utilities can be installed on your F60.
Play a little bit with it. Nothing can goes wrong now.

Qosmio F50 - Need to update BIOS in order of installing Win7-64bit

Dear community,
I plan to update to Windows 7 64 bit. My notebook is Toshiba Qosmio F50-10M with a preinstalled VISTA32bit.
Is there a need to update the BIOS prior installing the new OS? I read that there is a BIOS update f?¼r VISTA64bit available but none I discovered for Win7 64bit.
Can you give a clue?
I am confident and glad to own such a powerful notebook but this not completed OS named VISTA is driving me nuts increasingly reading all those nice reports concerning the benefits of Windows7!
Eager to read your welcomed responses
Yours,
Starmind

Thank you for anwering Paolo!
Do I understand the right way? I shouldn´t change BIOS if I don´t encounter any problems?
But I should change the BIOS from 32 to 64 bit if I install the 64bit version of Win7? I intend to do so as I plan to use the full memory of my machine (I use VISTA32 at the moment).
I should change the BIOS prior installing Win7 as I understood as posted earlier?
Thank your for your kind assistance!

Qosmio f60 14q, slow boot

my laptop has an extremly slow boot time so i downloaded soluto to check if a program is causing it and after multiple tests it takes 4-5 mins till i can use it. so i used the hdd recovery and reinstalled windows 7. and now it takes ~3 mins to boot. also soluto showed that the"system" takes 40-60 secs to open which is high compared to "weaker" machines in my house (~18 secs)
Qosmio F60 14Q
Windows 7 64bit
750 Gbm 5400 rpm
Ram: 8GB
Intel® Core™ i7-740QM Processor, 1.73 / 2.93 Turbo GHz
complete specs http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?LN...

> I think it is not detecting the hard disk, any help would be appreciated.
Can you see the HDD details in the BIOS?
Check this access the BIOS (press F2 while booting) and the HDD details should be mentioned on the first page.
If the HDD is not listed...well then the HDD is faulty

Qosmio F60 - Can I use my other Windows 7 disk to install?

I'm buying a Toshiba Qosmio F60 within the next few days and I saw that it comes with a 64bit restore partition but preinstalled with 32bit. I was wondering if I can use one of my other Windows 7 home premium 64bit oem disc's to install windows 7 and use the product key on the back without voiding warrenty and have it pass validation?
Because I like a nice clean Windows install without all that other stuff like office trials and oem software.
Not sure if this is the right place or not but sounded right.

if its the same edition of windows it shouldent matter should it? and uninstalling things tends to leave a messy windows install, i will install a few of the utilities that the defualt one comes with but alot of the stuff new PC's come with can be hard to uninstall and tied into each other.
becouse it comes with a recovery partition with win7 home premium 64 bit presumably OEM, i understand that windows oem for large companies eg toshiba use a file ti activate that matches up to the specific hardware of the pc, but u should still be able to activate it online or on the phone the normal way as long as its the same edition and pc should u not?

Qosmio F60 Win 7 clean install plus drivers

Hi
I would like to clean install win 7 64 bit on my F60. I've already worked out how to change my boot sequence, [ with the help of this forum], so I'm ready to format & reinstall. However my concerns relate to reinstalling drivers specific for the F60.... Any advice on this process would be appreciated. Is it a matter of just downloading from [http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/qosmio/f60/pqf65a-00y002/download?os=25] & installing as I need. Can this be tricky?
Any thoughts & guidance appreciated
Regards Lantana
Also would like to update bios...is there a step by step process for that too?

I have a Qosmio F60 & have done a clean install. I'll run you through the steps.
1. Make recovery disks before doing anything else. It's a good backup should there be any problems & will allow you to return the laptop to "out of the box " state if you want. Once the Recovery disks have been made (about 3 or 4 DVD'S), you can delete the recovery partition, but if you're unsure I would leave it as is.
2. There is a folder containing all your drivers and programs on the C drive. Back it up to DVD or a USB drive.
3. Back up your activation information. I used Token Restore (Google it). Back up your data.
4. Install WIN7, use the advanced option, reformat your C drive. Make sure you install the same Win7 version that came with your laptop (ie Home Premium, Pro ect). Don't enter your activation details at this time, but use Token Restore to do this after installing your drivers. After you install Win7, you'll have basic functionality, ie your mouse touchpad will work, cd drive will work ect. Display will be at a lower resolution.
5. Install drivers & utilities. I installed the following in this order.
Intel chipset driver
Intel turbo boost driver
Intel management engine interface
Intel rapid storage driver
NVIDIA display driver
Realtek audio driver
NVIDIA HD audio driver
Dolby Control Centre
HDMI Control Manager
Realtek LAN driver
Realtech Wireless LAN driver
Bluetooth Monitor
Toshiba Value added package (custom install... I didn't install Zooming Utility)
Ricoh card reader
Synaptics Touch Pad driver
Winbond CIR driver
Yuan DVB Tuner driver
Toshiba Eco Utility (optional)
Toshiba HDD Protection
Toshiba Disc Creator (optional if you have other CD/DVD burning software)
Toshiba DVD Player (optional, it upscales DVD's, but not much improvement over WMP for playing DVD'S)
Toshiba Remote Control Manager
WinDVD BD (for playing blu-ray) & the update downloaded from Toshiba website.
6. Install your own software, antivirus, data, restore your activation information then run Windows Update. Also worth running a good defrag program like MyDefrag or Puran Defrag (both free).
I would install the recently released BIOS update prior all this.
It is possible to trim the installation back even further, but I find this gives me full functionality while removing most of the bloat. I do find this better than simply uninstalling unwanted programs, as some like Norton AntiVirus are almost impossible to fully uninstall.
Hope this helps.

Dial-up connection for Qosmio F60/05E Notebook

I need dial-up connection.
What external modem will work with Qosmio F60/05E laptop running Windows7?
Thereis no socket for phone cable, no dial-up modem built inside this Toshiba laptop.

Visit your local dealer and buy newest external dial-up modem compatible with Win7 64bit.
I presume all of them should work properly. Just be sure they are supported for 32/64bit operating systems.

Re: 64-bit Windows 7 installation on Qosmio F60

Hi,
So about a month ago I bought a Toshiba Qosimo F60 which gave me the choice when I first turned it on between 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7.
Not knowing much about the difference at the time I just picked 32 bit but now after reading up about it I realize that may have been a mistake. . .
What I want to know is if theres any way I can still install 64 bit Windows 7 without purchasing a CD
(Laptop didn't come with one)
Not sure what the CD key is either . ..
Thanks.

Hello
Im not 100% sure because my Qosmio F60 was delivered with Windows 7 64bit only but I read in other threads that you can have both recovery disk (32 and 64bit) when you start Toshiba recovery media creator. This tool will create bootable recovery disks for your notebook with an image of factory settings.
Can you please start this tool and check if it creates recovery disk for both versions?

Qosmio F60-00Y- Intel RST, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor crash

Hi,
Just started having problems today with my Qosmio F60-00Y, purchased June 2010. I do have extended warranty but just wanted a quick fix since system is still operational.
As I have lost my factory settings recovery I can not reset my system.
It is working fine at the moment as long as I don't open both programs Intel RST, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor.
When I open one, system decides to freeze and fan speed accelerates and it shuts the notebook down. I have done system restore several times too and same problem still happens.
I have reinstalled both programs from:
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/qosmio/f60/pqf65a-00y002/download
After re-installing assuming, programs will run fine again. Same thing happens, crashes and shuts down.
I do regular virus and anti spy-wear check up with trend micro 2012 and still active every 7 days and defragment the system every 7 days.
No viruses and spy-wear found.
PLEASE HELP!
thanks,
Lem S.

It is not easy to say how you can fix this.
Try to remove all problematic applications, clean registry entries and try to install it again.
