Repair using Recovery Disc for Satellite A100

Is it possible to do a *Repair* on my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 using the Recovery Disc that came with the laptop
Regards

Hi Dr Lamp,
It started about a week ago,when I think I had problems with the Malware /Virus "Fake Alert" where a meesage kept coming up saying I needed to repair or words to the effect. I then lost my desktop and my folders were empty in the start menu, and the screen was black.
I ran McaFee antivirus, Malwarebytes and Super AntiSpyware. I then ran Unhide and rKill. I got the desktop back with a couple of Word documents that would not open but the folders in the start menu where either ok files missing or empty.
I now keep getting redirected when searching but not always, also when I switch the laptop on Photshop opens up as though it is trying to open a file up,there is a message appears Photshop cannot open this kind of document.
The only program I have set to open on start up is McAfee.
I have tried a few system restores with the same result.
After system restore the laptop seems to start up ok, but the next time it is started Photoshop opens again.
I seem to be going round in circles, I really don't want to use the Restore option if at al possible.

  • Cannot use created recovery discs for Satellite A350-134

    Emm I really hope you can help me.
    The Notebook said that you have to create the Recovery Disk by yourself and thats what I did ( on 2 Cds)
    So i wanted to reinstall my Notebook and put in the first cd and booted from CD. So i came into the Menu.
    Then after a while it asked me to put in the second CD and I did it. Then it said there was a error copying the last 2 files needed.
    So now i cant create the Recovery Disk again because I already started the reinstalling. now i have a few questions
    What can i do generally ? Because I really dont want to buy for 35 euros a new Recovery Disk :S
    I thank everyone who helps me :D

    If you want to have factory settings you must install recovery image from recovery disc.
    If your discs dont work you must use original Toshiba recovery disc.
    My opinion is that you should install Win7 32bit on this machine. I do it on friends A350 and it runs perfectly.

  • Creating Win 7 64bit Recovery Disc for Satellite L500-19x?

    My new Satellite L500 - 19X came pre-installed with Win 7 - 64 bit version.
    Also included was a "Product Recovery Win 7 32 bit" disc
    Within the packaging was a leaflet saying:
    "If you plan to use the 64-bit version at a later stage, please create a _recovery medium_ prior to installing 32-bit Windows 7"
    It then cautions me to create a "64 bit recovery medium.....ordering a 64-bit recovery medium is not free of charge"
    The manual goes on at length about "_System Recovery Options_" As instructed in the manual I have made a "Repair Disc Windows 7 64-bit" Am I correct in saying that I do not or cannot have an actual Win 7 64-bit disc?
    The leaflet says "a backup copy (of the Win 7 64-bit) is stored on the hard disk drive as a _recovery image_" So is this the actual Win 7-64-bit complete disc that I am after, and if so how do I get it?
    The Toshiba documentation is not clear, and I believe rather contradicts itself?
    I am confused! Anyone understand what's going on?
    JohnF.

    My confusion is because I don't understand what "recovery disc" means?!
    On the "Dear Customer" flyer entitled "+Choosing your Windows 7 Architecture+" that came with the machine it states:-
    "+A backup copy of the system (64 bit version) is stored on the hard disk drive as a recovery image+" This is what I don't understand, as I have already made a "+repair disc Win 7 64-bi+t" as well as having the "+Product recovery Win 7 - 32-bit" cd+" This cd seems to be the complete Windows disc, unless I am mistaken.
    I guess what I am getting at is do I have complete Win 7 - 64-bit in case of total failure of the machine ? (I am asking the question because you often used to get a full Windows disc with a new computer in the old days)
    Does this make it any clearer? Thanks for everyone's help

  • Making Recovery disc for Satellite A300-16I

    I recently purchased this laptop and I get this reminder to make a recovery disc, but the link to the program doesn't work.
    When I found the recovery disc program in its original folder it still refused to open.
    My laptop just 'thinks' for a moment and then pretend nothing has happened.
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Maybe I could download a working version of this program...?

    Hi
    From my own experience after a third system restart a recovery reminder appear saying you need to create a Recovery DVD.
    You said you found the recovery disc program in the original folder well, as far as I know there is a TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator shortcut on the desktop.
    Use this shortcut to star this application.
    If this is not possible then you could try to recover the notebook again and then to create the recovery CD.
    To start the recovery process you have to press F8 button immediately after system start.
    Then choose the option called Repair your Computer and follow the instruction on the screen.
    Bye

  • Re: Where can I get a recovery disc for Satellite P105-S921

    I made the mistake of buying my laptop second hand and it has so many problems i cant use it at all
    I dont have a recovery disc and thought that maybe that would fix my problems

    thanks

    Hi!
    You can create the recovery disks with the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. Normally it is preinstalled on the laptop.
    If you are not able to burn it, you can order a new disk here:

  • Recovery disc for Satellite A300D-125

    Hi
    It's request for all of You. Please, help me somebody.
    I have Toshiba A300D-125, when I bought it I forgot make backup CD. Now I format my hard drive and I make new windows. Problem is, I don't have all this programs what was when system it was new. Maybe somebody, who have same laptop have a backup cd (i'm sure somebody have) can share with me this CD.
    Please, You can make image of this and upload somewhere in internet.
    I'll be very grateful. Thanks

    Hello
    Akuma is right. You can order original Toshiba recovery DVD under this address. Using it you will have factory settings again.
    Other possibility for you is to install your own Vista and use all drivers, tools and utilities from Toshiba support page. On this way you can install other Vista version like Business or Ultimate.

  • Re: Need Win 7 Recovery Disc for my Satellite Pro L750

    Hi all,
    Could someone tell me where to download or get a copy of the OEM Win 7 Recovery disc for my Satellite Pro L750? The laptop has a new HDD without a working recovery partition and I don't the recovery CD.
    Help Please.

    Yes of course you should make backup disks but this was my first personal laptop (unbelievable, right ? Never needed one before) and I wasn't aware i couldn't just make a recovery disk from any pc like I used to do for my desktop. The hdd is supposed to last for what, 5,000 hours ?
    I would be lucky to have had more than 1,000 hours on it. And no games play either; it had an easy life.
    As per Microsoft Forums I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a supposedly OEM setting download from Digital River (OEM in the 'channel' setting in the ei.efg file) but good old Toshiba must do something else in the hardware as slmgr /dli still states it's a 'retail' version so even though Microsoft would have given me a new product key (as to which i am entitled as i have purchased a licence when i bought the laptop), because the installation id states retail based, my genuine licence key number from the bottom of the laptop does not register as genuine when they check.
    I tried my desktop pc oem windows 7 installation disk that I got with the pc (now there's a whacky idea, providing a disk with the purchase...) and no luck there either. The laptop was still locked to its own licence key and retail version. I'm guessing even if i bought a new retail windows copy, it still wouldn't work !
    I still think $66 is far too much to pay to get the disks. I've already paid for the windows licence, But what choice has toshiba left me, other than to pay them their blood money.
    I may be a slow learner, but I do learn. I will never buy a Toshiba laptop, or other Toshiba product again. Sure, other companies will have the same licensing setup, but I'm not angry at them !

  • Can not create recovery discs on satellite C875D-S7330

    Can not create recovery discs on satellite C875D-S7330. Drive runs and appears to be doing it thing, then aborts saying it has error to check disc for scratch or dust on media. Error code: OEO1B5-26-2AO3OC 00 . Tried 3 new discs all same results. Tried a 4th disc trying to continue on with disc 2 of recovery discs, got another error on this one. Error code: 020150-20-00000000.
      Anyone have a fix for this? Had this machine less than 24hrs.
    Thanks
    Don B.

    Personally, I would get a 16gig USB thumb drive and put your recovery on it.  It eliminates having to swap disks during recovery and it's easy to store.  I've used mine several times and it's worked perfectly every time.

  • Can not make a recovery disc for Toshiba Laptop

    When I try to make a recovery disc for my Toshiba Satellite L305-S5919 I receive the following message:
    An error occurred in the recording phase. Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
    Error Code: 0E01B5-26-2A040301.
    I have tried to do a recovery disc since buying the Computer in June 2009. The message always comes up at the same spot in the process. I am using DVD-R discs.

    Can you burn to those disks using the regular Disk Writer Program?  It doesn't matter what type as long as it's to that same batch of disks.
    I would contact Toshiba as per this post and request that they provide you with a set of Recovery Disks since you can't make your own.  They shouldn't charge you for them under the circumstances, but you might have to be forcefull about it.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    Thanks,

    Hi Jon
    According the notebook description you must be from Venezuela. Am I right? ;)
    I really do not know if there is Toshiba some support page for South America but few guys from there have had the same problem like you. I can not say for sure if you can use BIOS update from US support site. I recommend you to call Authorized service partner in your country. They work with this stuff and I am 100% sure they will be able to give you right info.

    ... BTW, when you perform the - Weekly "Macrium - Image Backups", do you backup to a local USB cable connected External Usb Drive or wireless wifi connected to a NAS Drive ?
    I have a Verbatim 2TB external USB 3.0 drive plugged into the PC.  It's used for both my weekly image backups as well as my nightly data backups.  I have one of these on EACH machine in my environment, for backups local to that machine.  I also use them on machines I build for friends and family, as everybody needs a backup system for "priceless data".
    Actually, to be a bit more complete, my "data" backups consists of two parts: (1) 1st-of-the-month FULL backups of all my data, and (2) nightly INCREMENTAL backups which handles anything created/changed in the past 24 hours.  Thus a "backup set" consists of the beginning FULL backup coupled with the ever-growing throughout-the-month set of nightly INCREMENTAL backups.
    NovaBACKUP can handle all of this if you need to recover something, so you yourself don't need to know exactly which backup file your file is located on.  You simply identify the folder/file(s) you wish to recover, and the AS-OF date you want for that file (with "as of the latest version available" being the default).  If you want to recover an older version than the most current version, you simply slide a GUI time-slider backwards until you arrive at the as-of date you desire.  NovaBACKUP then figures out where the most current version is AS OF THE DESIRED DATE, and accesses that one-or-more backup files in order to complete your task.
    I retain multiple "backup sets" (going back 4 complete months), so I can recover any folder/file(s) I had available on any specific night during the past 4 months.  Most commonly of course it's typically "get me the most current version available as of last night", but just in case that version is corrupt or I truly want an earlier version, I can get it easily.

  • I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook help ASAP!!!

    I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook so I can format and re-install the default operating system. I have lost the original recovery disc that came with my MacBook years ago. Can anybody tell me how and where I can order one from?
    Also, I do have the original recorvery disc that came with my MacBook Pro, could I not just use this or would it not be compatible?
    Help ASAP please...
    Thank you!

    For a fee, you could likely order a replacement install-restore DVD for your MacBook. To get the correct disc(s) and match the hardware to the system, you need to know and have the serial number of the product handy, and be able to answer some basic questions; and have a form of payment, such as credit card.
    Call the Apple Store online (main US number, 1-800-MY-APPLE) or the main Apple Support number for US, 1-800-275-2273.
    Or if you're in another country, you could try calling a Local in-country support number and ask, since they may have to redirect your call to another associate. See link below for Support phone numbers.
    An operating systems specialist or other qualified person will be able to try & help obtain the correct disc or disc set; if the computer original gray-label set is no longer available, they may be able to check their extensive database against your product serial number to see if they may have another full install disc that can work.
    This other option, if it happens, based on your MacBook serial number and build model identifier, could be slightly newer than the OS X version shipped with the MacBook, and not be gray-labeled.
    A replacement install disc in retail version would not include any original MacBook applications, while a gray-label disc set should have most of them as part of a multiple DVD set, if available.
