Restore g25 help please

i have a toshiba g25 laptop
it has been working ok but the usb ports dont work the dvd dont work i have a pcmcia usb adapter that works so i have usb ports
and i can use my usb flash drive on it
it also has flah disk slot dor sdhc cards that work or mmc cards
well i got a virus and it took a real poop
and i can't find my recovery disks but my cd rom dont work anyway
so what are my options
can i boot off a external pcmcia cd rom if i get the recovery disks for 20 dollars from toshiba?
is there a way to boot from the usb ports on the pcmcia card with usb ports and i could put when xp on the flsh usb drive or the recovery disks or even windows 7 that i downloaded a few monthes ago?
or can i boot from a flash dick in the flash card slot on my computer into a retail win xp that i have and copy to flash disk, or windows 7 coied to flash disk
or recovery cds i could by from toshiba
not sure which would work the best if any would work at all
whT I WOULD HOPE WOULD WORK IS BOOTING UP FROM the little flash card slot on the side and using windows 7, or win xp downloaded from the net, if nothing else buy the recovery disks from toshiba and put on the flash disks
need to know what size flash cards to buy for which operating system and how to make bootable
or which dvd to buy to boot from
and which operating sytems will work
all and any help will be apreciated
thanks
billy

i sold this to a friend, i've been using it for quite awhile without the cd rom working, it was a refurbished laptop that toshiba sent me as a replacement for the one i had, they did not send me any restore disks, and it was wirking fine when i sold it to him for 200 dollars, , but he had it a few days and got a virus now it will only boot into safe mode, he does not want to pay to take it to a technician, and i am trying to help him.
the usb ports don't work either, besides the cd rom, but i have a pcmcia adapter with usb ports that works fine.
i can buy the restore disks from toshiba for 20 dollars, or i have a retail copy of windows xp, or i have a downloaded copy of windows 7
there is is a place on the side of the laptop to put sd cards in can i copy windows xp or windows 7 to a flash card put it in the side
and boot from it and install windows, will this run on windows 7?
what size flash card will i need if this will work? i have a 1 gig and a 2 gig already
or i can buy a external cd rom that hooks to the pcmcia port , and boot from it, but don/t want to spend the money,can buy one on ebay for around 30 dollars, but not sure if that will work then i waste 30 dollars,
but i know the flash disk port works and i already have windows 7 and windows xp no cost to me and i have the flash cards
can some one please help and tell which rout will work?
and i could buy the restore diks and put them on the flash card would that work
and what steps would i have to take,
thanks in advance
taking it to a technician is not a option ok?
thanks again

Hi. My daughters iPod has been disabled and I've tried to do the reset and restore via itunes but it gets to the screen showing the plug into iTunes and then iTunes should pick up the device automatically and give me the option to restore... But iTunes doesn't pick it up?

Happy for you!

I have an iPhone 4 and I had to get a new one due to a defect with my old one and I left the apple store's wifi before iCloud was done restoring unknowingly. So it is still stuck in a restore? Help please?

I left the apple store fast due to the fact i was in a bad car accudent and i am in a wheelchair and cant stay seated like that long due to a broken leg. It randomly will pop up message saying something like it needs wifi but I have wifi at my house. It also pops up another message something like it needs to finish restoring it and asks if I want to download it all and I click on it it to but it goes away after that and nothing pops back up. I also can't install the new update it says I have I finish the retire then do it. My photo album is also stuck at whatever number of photos I have taken in the new phone that number of 300 something. It just says its downloading it. I have no clue what to do. Also my iCloud backup I looked and it says I have 2.2 gb left then that the backup is 2.7 gb. I'm very confused what options I have and can't find an answer anywhere please help me!

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

On my ipod touch 4th generation, it somehow got into recovery mode and won't restore! Help please!

I have been searching on this topic for hours and i haven't found an answer that works so i decided to post the question myself. So on my iPod touch 4th gen., it got into recovery mode somehow and when i plug it in it says something like "ipod in recovery mode, please restore". well i clicked restore and it went through the whole process then said "ipod can not restore. an unknown error ocurred (28)". I have the newest software on the computer and ipod, i restarted my computer a number of times, i changed USB ports, no other USB is plugged in and i just don't know what else to do. The screen is just black and won't turn on. I've tried the hard restart and everything!! pleaseeeeeee help!!

Can't access my account after time machine hard disk restore. HELP please.

i was attempting to partition my hard disk with boot camp when an error message appeared saying that it could not be partitioned and to backup my hard disk, reformat and restore using time machine, then run boot camp again. i did this and now i cannot access my account. at the log in page my password is accepted but a message appears saying that i am unable to access my account at this time due to an error (error not specified). any suggestions please.
thanks :-)
triggs.

just been reading through various posts on here and it seems that timemachine does not backup file vault home folders. Thanks for the warning message apple. i have wiped my harddrive lost all my home folder and am now panicking becuase some of the data was for a charity that i help out with and can't exactly go asking for the information again. i presume if my old home folder was there i would see it in the user account on my external drives backups? any help would be appreciated but think i am now losing the will to live.
Cue the massive shouting match when i have to explain this to the charity secretary

Updated & now it can't be read, need to restore (?) Help please?

Please help. This may sound stupid, but I must be tech. challenged. I just got my ipod for Christmas & I have spend night after night reading discusions trying to get it to work. My husband keeps reminding me about that 1. Initial problem, I could not transfer songs. Never resolved that 1, but at least it WAS showing up in itunes.
Now, for some reason, I've updated software (that was new to begin with) & now my ipod is not able to be read. It says restore factory settings... there was never anything put on it yet. This thing is brand new & for the price, I expected to plug it in & it does the work. Everything I read is extremely detailed. How can I fix this & get it running on "everyday language" terminology? I was unable to open the manual I downloaded (tech. challenged).

Thank you for helping! Another late night!
Looks like there is a conflict with different versions of ipod up-dater & itunes. My problems started when I updated from a 10/05 ed. to an 11/05 ed., thus my "ipod manager internal error". After I used my disc to reinstall, I was able restore my (still empty) ipod. Now it is showing up in itunes again! Hurray!! It will be a long time before I update again. I wonder if it is really necessary when it is brand new?
Thank you again! Now I just need to figure out how to put my 3rd party music onto my ipod. That was my initial problem I thought I was fixing by updating. It looks like it is easier to move music from my own CD's. I may be cancelling my music contract with the 3rd party.

sorry... can't help, not having these "restore" issues (yet...) and I've done 4- Restore to Backup the past week and two "restore to new Phone" and no issues... other than the fact that with a "Restore to New Phone" my 3rd party data app's are not "recoverable" as with the "restore to backup"

My satelite L455-S5975 will not restore using restore discs Help please

I have a L455 that I tied to restore to the out of box state using the internal restore partition.
After starting the process mid way I received a fatal error message and the computer now doesn't reboot past the windows 7 icon before displaying another error message and only allowing me to shut the system back down.
I called the help line and they said it sounded like my hard drive crashed. I then ordered the restore discs from Acclaim and was told that after installing a new hard drive these discs would get the system back up and running and back to factory out of box status.
I ran the discs and towards the end of using the second recovery disk I received another error.
this was using the new hard drive.
I tried this twice and it didn't take.
I then put the old hard drive back in and started the restore process again.
I received this error mid way through the second disk.
10-FC12-0241
after selecting the o.k button to shut down I received this error
F3-F200-0002
again I selected the o.k. button to shut down and it did but still will not start up past the windows 7 logo.
Any idea what the issue is or what the error codes mean so that I can get the computer back up and running.
Thanks
Jason

Assuming your install media isnt damaged and your hard drives are good, in order of most problematic to least, you could have an issue with your motherboard, CPU, RAM, or optical drive.
Optical drive: attatch an external optical drive (USB) and try to install from there.
RAM: If you have multiple DIMMs, pull all but one and see if it goes. If it still doesnt work, try the other one.
If you only have one DIMM module then you can either swap it out or run a full memory test using MEMTEST86.
CPU: Obtain a replacement CPU and replace it.
Motherboard: time to buy another computer.

Iphone 4 won't activate after factory restore? help, please?

I did a restore on my iphone 4 earlier. This is the first time I have ever done a restore-I have only had this phone for about 2 weeks. However, I was having battery problems so I chose to restore.
It went through the entire process and even came up the "activating, this may take some time" or whatever screen. It said that it had synced and it was okay to disconnect. Now, however, I have no service at all, it says that the network is unavailable, and it keeps popping up and saying that it is not activated and if it continues to call some 1800 number. It is connected to my wifi, however.
Do I have to call the *228 number or something, like I did when I first got it? Or what? I'm really confused and frustrated...I just want my phone to work.

Oh, and on itunes my phone number is now listed as "00000000" and a few other numbers instead of my actual phone number.
That "00000000" number thing could be the issue, I have never activated my iPhone over iTunes (mine was preactivated when I got it), but it sounds to me that when/if iTunes goes to "activate" the phone, iTunes could be telling your iPhone that 00000000 is your actual phone number, so the iPhone self activates it thinking that is your actual number, so when that number doesn't match up with any number on Verizon's servers, it fails activation (while many may say that iTunes "activates" the phone, I am pretty sure that iTunes just forwards that information to the iPhone and automatically does the "*228" activation on it's own based on the information entered into iTunes)
I would say yes, go ahead and try *228 opt 1 and see if that works, or see if you can change the number to your real number in iTunes

IPhone 5s wont complete restore? HELP Please!

I have been trying to restore my new 5s from the previous backup on my old device. It has been connected to Wifi and never seems to finish the restore. my camera roll has places where all of my pictures should be but they never actually load. what do i need to do to get it to finish? I cant update to Ios 7.1.2 until it the restore is completed either.

Hello there, Sarakate.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of iCloud backup functionality:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
If you feel you have waited too long for the restore to complete you can restart the restore by reviewing the information below:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
