Recovery/Windows vistas

Hi everyone,
I have a Satellite S305-S7467, after several reboots, needed a Recovery. After inserted both disc, it went to a windows Boot Manager page and is asking me to install the windows installation disc.
Because it have a pre-install windows vistas(32), I don't have the disc. I'm still able to see the activation for the windows vistas underneath the laptop.
How can I get a disc or download the software. I couldn't find anything under the download tab on Toshiba web?
Thank you,
Gus

Satellite U305-S7467
Your model came with recovery discs, Gus. They enable you to restore the hard drive to its original out-of-the-box contents.
If you've lost the discs, obtain them from Toshiba.

  • Ipod classic 5th Gen stuck in recovery Windows Vista

    Alright, here are the details: my iPod classic 5th gen. is stuck in recovery mode,
    and it won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it. Now, I know I have the latest
    version of iTunes, I have deleted it & reinstalled it, and even restarted my
    computer, but it still won't come up in iTunes...What should I do??

    A person on youtube presented a fix by putting the ipod into disk mode and then plugging it into your Windows computer. Well... what happens on mine is the itunes dashboard does come up which to me means it recognizes an ipod is attached but after 30 mins. the icon showing my ipod never appears on the dashboard so I can open it to restore it. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated (especially if you ever found something that worked).

  • Windows repair installation Pavilions a6720y Windows Vista 64 bit

    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    I recently had a serious PC problem. I knew that I would have to hand my PC over to someone and selected a Local Technical Specialists (Geek Squad) who diagnosed it as a crashed main HD, installed a new Drive and reinstalled the OS from recovery disks provided by HP.
    I personally had to reinstall many programs and settings. I needed specialist assistance to reestablish my home network that did work before the crash with the same hardware but not after.
    My Main PC is a desktop:
    HP Pavillian,
    Model a6720y,
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit,
    6GB Physical Memory,
    connected to a DSL Modem via Ethernet connection.
    My second PC is a Dell Pavillion B130 Laptop, Windows XP
    DSL Modem provided by Verizon, is a WestTell modem.
    I have an External 1 TB HD from HP, a HP HD3000, Ser # TH1B32Y047
    The System Recovery was performed with discs that I received from HP. System Recovery, Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, HP505283-001, Build ID 91ANv6PrA1.
    I am contacting you because I believe that something went wrong with the reinstallation or there was more that should have been done after the initial Reinstall.
    Within hours of bringing the PC home, I discovered that Windows Media Player was not working. I contacted the local support organization. They advised that yes there was a problem with Windows Media Player and downloaded an alternate program for playing Videos, VLC.
    After installing several 3rd party program that were Video DVD maker Utilities, I started to have problems that did not exist before the reinstall. This is of course with the same hardware except for the new Internal HD.
    I contacted the local support because I was having serious problems reestablishing my at home local network. I was informed that there were some serious Vista problems.
    Can you comment on the above?
    Can you provide a Windows Repair Installation Disc?
    My PC is out of warranty but I did purchase and renew that HP Care Pack Support Service. That may also have expired. My last renewal that I can find was Tran # CA03207588-0001.
    Your response to the above, especially your advice on a Windows Repair would be appreciated.

    Hello BRDGDD,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues using your Blu-Ray Player on your HP Pavilion Elite e9140f running Windows Vista. I am going to approach this from a couple different directions.
    First, we are going to try to put back the original drivers that came with your computer using the HP Support document: Performing a Software Application or Driver Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you though using the HP Recovery Manager to restore the original drivers on your computer.
    Second, if you are still not able to use the Blu-Ray Player we are going to try using the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows Vista), which we will use to roll your system back to a point in time where your Blu-Ray player worked. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications you have installed between now and the date you choose and any settings you have changed during the same time.  These will have to be re-installed and/or re-changed.
    Lastly, if you are still not able to install the software or are still not able to use your Blu-Ray Player I am going to suggest you back up any personal files, bookmarks and such to a USB drive or something and then follow the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you through recoverying your computer back to factory settings.
    ***NOTE: Be warned you will loose everything so ensure you backup what you want to keep!
    If none of the above work and your still having issues it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
    US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
    Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.

  • Windows Vista laptop turn off/shut down loop

    I got a windows vista hp pavilion from my grandfather. I have recently wiped it and restored it through the hp program on my computer. Whilst uninstalling microsoft .net framework 3.0, it told me to restart it to be completely uninstalled. Now my laptop is in a loop. It will turn on and the screen that says installing update 3 of 3, load to 99% and shut down. It has been in this cycle for about 2 days now. I have tried force reboot but it just keeps going. Please help!

    Hello Gradof,
    Well, you may have to Recover the notebook again if it is trashed, a Reset may stop the horrible looping:
    The Hard Reset:
    This method works for a variety of Driver connection and ‘stuck’ program issues.
    Shut down the computer
    Disconnect all external devices - everything.
    Remove (disconnect / unplug) the AC power
    If the notebook contains a removable Battery, remove it
    Press and hold power button for at least 30 seconds
    Reinstall the battery,
    Reconnect the AC power cord
    Power on - Log in

    Excerpted from the above file:
    If Windows Vista cannot open and if the Recovery partition on the hard disk drive is functioning properly, you can perform a System Recovery by performing the following procedure:
    NOTE:If the RECOVERY or FACTORY_IMAGE partitions on the hard drive have been deleted OR the files in these partitions have been deleted, these steps will not work. You must use recovery discs.
    Turn off the computer if it is not already off.
    Disconnect and remove all external devices such as printers, USB drives, and memory cards.
    Turn on the computer and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly , about once every second, until Recovery Manager opens.
    On the Welcome to Recovery Manager screen, click Next .
    On the Microsoft System Restore screen, select No , and then click Next .
    On the System Recovery screen, select Yes , and then click Next to continue the recovery process.
    The Recovery Manager gives you the option of backing up your data files. To do so, read Backing up your files .
    To continue recovery, select No , and then click Next .
    A recovery progress screen opens. Wait while files are restored.
    When System Recovery is complete, click Finish .
    The computer restarts and continues into Windows setup. Complete the setup screens and wait until the computer finishes the setup. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on the computer.
    Before using the computer, update and protect it by reinstalling any virus and security software that was installed before the System Recovery.
    Reinstall any software applications that were added after purchasing the computer, and replace any files that were backed up.

  • Windows vista recovery error CTOERROR.flg and following that error 0x643 while installing update

    Hi All
    system info : HP LAPTOP DV6 -1256tx , windows vista sp1 32 bit
    When I am trying to install windows vista sp1 from recovery disks/partition I am getting the error from recovery manager prompting me to choose either to retry or see the details for failure : CTOERROR.flg in form of notepad on my desktop. I have done retry 100 times but to no avail. I cannot restart after this recovery failure message as it shows dialog box on restart: windows security update is not installed successfully or is not trusted.So, i have to go through recovery process again to see the desktop (everything functioning - internet,video, music all) but only once.
    Last time i got this message too . When i did installing windows from recovery disks few months back, that time  i figured out to install all imp. updates  through  automatic  windows update.All the updates were installed successfully and then it restarted and gone through process of language settings,time settings and all....
    But this time when i am trying to update windows, i am getting windows update error 0x643 which is for security update for .net framewrok 3.5 sp1 and family update.I do know the answer how to get away with this error from "windows help" and also from this forum too, which asks for installing .net framework updates from windows update site directly. But the problem is:
     Windows update ask me to restart after automatic or manual windows update installation takes place and restart causes problem as it shows dialog box - windows security update is not installed successfully . I need to install all updates in one go like last time from my understanding.:
    1. So if i install windows update (to try my luck as last time) it shows 0x643 error for .net framework and asks to restart and after that when i try to manually install failed updated 0x643 it asks me to restart the windows for pending updates.
    2. Alternatively, If i try to install failed update first just after recovery failure it won't allow me to install important updates for vista sp1 and asks to restart windows.
    All i need is to successfully update all updates through windows automatic update which is not happening at the moment.
    Not even able to upgrade to sp2 bcz it too restarts for installing.
    Please Help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Getting error code 0x400110020000100b while doing system recovery for windows vista 32 bit.

    I attempted to do a system recovery on my Laptop using the included recovery discs and got this error 0x400110020000100B. THe disc looked pretty beat so last week I ordered a new set. Now when I got to put disc 2 in (at 80% complete) I get the same error.  I called customer support and he took me through the F9 process to no avail and I've also tried the F11 approach which got me no where.  I'm frustrated because I really don;t have the money for a new laptop.

  • Satellite P100: No Windows Vista CD but only Recovery CD

    Hi I recently purchased a toshiba satellite P100, but it doesn't seem to have come with a Windows Vista disk, just preinstalled Vista.
    The laptop is running fine at the moment, but I'm a bit worried that if something goes wrong in the future i'll have no way to reinstall the OS.
    The laptop came with a recovery disk, and I'm not sure if Vista is included on this?
    If not is there anyway I can make a copy of vista from the one installed on my HDD?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    dont worry, you dont need to make a copy of your HDD since you already have a vista on your recovery media.
    If you got problems with your system and you want to re-install it, then backup all your data to a external media, put the recovery in your CD/DVD drive, boot from it and then just "recover" or "reinstall" your system. The recovery process is working automatically and you will have a "factory-like" installation after recovering your machine.
    Hope I could explain it to you... ;)
    Greetings

  • Windows Vista Home Premium Recovery Disks won't work

    Have original disks for this Toshiba A215.  The hard drive failed so put in new hard drive. Got the missing boot manager message. so a tecn person used a cd and reformated the new hard drive. Still wouldn't run the recovery disks to install to factory defaults.  the Windows Vista sticker still on the computer with the activation code. So borrowed an install disk from a friend, but won't activate. Says it's not a valid activation code.  and still won't recognize my recovery disks. starts to run the recovery program then gives message - cannot enumerate.  What does it want to enumerate??

    cannot enumerate. 
    Try resetting the BIOS from AHCI mode to IDE or Compatibility or whatever you find there.
    Most likely the trouble is caused by a hard disk with advanced-format technology. After restoring, there will be more to do.
    Which Satellite A215? Always tell us that. There is a label on the bottom.

  • Hard drive detected but will not boot Windows Vista or recovery disk

    Hi,
    I have a very similar issue with a HP Pavillion a6355.uk, the hard drive kept crshing windows and then it finally just kept getting pass the HP boot menu options, and then all I get is the DOS "@press ctrl+alt+del to restart".
    The hard drive is detected and passes all the tests, after pressing F9, going into the F10 options. F11 does not do anything, so cannot recover windows/the system.
    I have tried changing the SATA connections on the motherboard, no difference. I tried the recovery boot disk I created when it was working and it will not boot with the old or new hard drive I bought to replace it (same size and compatable).
    I cannot find where to partition the new hard drive or format the c: on the old one (it had D: for the recovery, but as it won't boot, cannot access this).
    I have also tried the HP website to dowload the drivers for the new one, but the page does not load up to show any drivers or Windows to download.
    http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Pavilion-a6300-Desktop-PC-series/3644673/model/3671505/driver...
    The next page just keeps looping or not proceeding when I put in details.
    I can’t find anywhere to get hold of my copy of windows vista for this PC or get a disk to re-install on a new drive or fix the old detected drive, can someone please help!!

    Just what size HD and is the drive Sata II or Sata III?
    Vista 32bit .iso    You must have a valid installation key, which should be on the COA sticker on the computer, to activate the installation once it completes.  ImageBurn to create the .iso disk.   Driver page Vista (not 64 bit)

  • Windows Vista Recovery.

    My company has HP Pavilion a6540d Home PC. It was bought 2 years ago. It has a built in operating system which is Windows Vista. We planned to upgrade it into Windows 7 just this week. I was about to restore the windows to its factory settings first before upgrading it. When I turned on the CPU,  it hanged up so I decided to force shut down. Then restarted it again, it didn't hang up until it was in recovery process already, again I forced shut down the computer. Made the machine rest for more that 10 hours. I tried to restore it again to its factory setting (hoping that it wouldn't hang). Fortunately, it the process finished successfully. But when I restart the computer after the restoration an error message appeared "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed to install Windows. Click OK to retart the computer and to restart the installation." Then it restarted - error message appeared again - restarted - error message appeared again and looped all over. I would like to know how can I solve this error. I tried to hit F8 while the system boots and repair the computer but it gives me error "Error 0x400110020000100A". What should I do about this error? I'm trying to get the repair disc of Windows Vista so I can repair it but I didn't keep any. Can I just download a repair disc for Windows Vista since I can't access my computer before start up? HP don't have a separate recovery disc or a OS (Windows Vista) installer. Kindly help me. Thank you!

    Hi,
    If you have the facility in the bios to run a check on the Hard Drive, I would do this first as the error you mention would indicate a problem with the HDD itself.
    If the HDD test passes, you could try the following.
    This process will allow you to make a Vista Repair Disc. This is not an installation disc but will allow you to use the Vista Recovery Console that is available on retail versions of Vista.
    Download the file on the link below.  Make sure you download the correct version.
    Vista 32 bit
    Vista 64 bit
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip, when installed, right click the zipped folder, select Extract Files and then click Ok.  You should now see another folder containing the ISO file.
    You will need software to burn the ISO to a CD.  If you don't have this type on software installed, download and install ImgBurn and use this to burn the ISO to a CD.
    Once you have created the Vista Repair Disc, follow the guide on the link below to see if this will repair your installation.

  • Windows Vista 32-bit failing to start after successful recovery.

    Hi all, my apologies if this has already been covered in another post, I did check but I'm new here so could've overlooked it.
    I have a HP Pavilion a6442a running Windows Vista 32-bit. A couple of weeks ago it froze up, forcing me to maually shut it down, and now it will not restart. It gets so far, then goes straight to startup repair, which never seems to find any problems. I've tried system restore (to several different restore points), ran diagnostic tests, ran memory and hd tests, and tried starting up in every mode I could: no issues found anywhere and I still had the same problem. Finally I backed up my files and performed a full system recovery. It said that it completed successfully, I restarted to complete the Windows installation, it gets as far as "please wait a moment while Windows starts for the first time....", freezes there, then restarts and goes straight back to the startup repair screen.
    I'm at a loss, I've done everything I can think of. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    Have you added any hardware to the stock configuration (other than replace the hard drive or add memory)?
    Did you only have the mouse, keyboard and monitor plugged in when you ran the recovery procedure?
    If yes, to question 1, remove any hardware you installed that did not come with the PC, and try recovering again.
    If the PC successfully recovers, shut down and reinstall your aftermarket hardware.
    If no, to question 2, disconnect anything other than the mouse, keyboard and monitor and try recovering again.
    If you continue to be confounded, and you can read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on your PC's case, then you can make your own Vista installation media.
    This will be just a plain Vista installation and no software other than the operating system will be included.
    You can install any drivers and available software from your PC's support and driver page.

  • Windows Vista on T500 doesn't start, recovery CDs do not work

    I have T500 with Windows VISTA, but the system cannot start.
    When I turn it on, I can see Vista loading progress bar showing up for some time, and then I get the blue screen with this error:
    UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
    When I insert the Recovery Disc, it starts, but I can see only the welcome screen with the rescue wheel, no option to start the recovery.
    One note: I have two sets of recovery CDs. My T500 came with Windows XP and CDs for Vista. I re-installed to Vista shortly after purchase using the Vista recovery disks (so the CDs are OK). I made windows XP recovery disks that time, and they do not work now too (I end with the rescue wheel screen). When I had Windows XP I had a lot blue screens from the beginning, that's why I reinstalled to Vista.
    Second note: I've already tried the chkdsk /r and fdisk /mbr using FreeDOS CD - no change. (these are recommended programs to run when you have UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, as I can see on the net)
    Anybody could help with this ... well, quite critical issue?
