Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

Hi everybody!
Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
Can anyone help?

Hello
F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
"Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite A300-1mz Can I use the recovery disks after a HDD upgrade?

    I'm upgrading the hard drive of my *toshiba a300-1mz*, but I'd be sure that I can use the *recovery disks* maked at the first boots for the s.o. (vista)
    I expect your support...
    thank you very much...

    > how can I be sure that the disk is properly recognized before I buy it???
    What do you mean exactly? Did you mean the HDD???
    The A300 supports and 2.5 SATA HDD and all 2.5 HDD should be recognized properly since the SATA HDD controller hasnt any limitations.

  • Satellite L500-19X - Can't use the recovery disk

    Well I got this laptop two days ago and used it once after installing fire fox and my mobile broadband drvier's and going back home to boot up and find it was going to happen,
    I had tried safe mode (all three) and repair and all I got was a black screen with the cursor up where there should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disk that came along with the laptop) so anyway after finding out I wasnt going to be able to repair it I tried to install but of course that didn't work either so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and worked perfectly fine, then I upgraded (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problems, so I tried again with the original windows 7 that came pre-installed on the laptop's hard drive and all went find untill it starts installing driver's or updates (I'm not 100% sure on this but it is at and/or after the face recognition installation,
    Then it shuts it's self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start-up so I do the repair boots back up and still says I need to repair and finds nothing wrong and carrys on in that circle.
    Now I have been told that it could be the register or it is a graphics problem, I myself am getting pretty fed up of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.
    So if there is anyone who know's what is wrong or what to do or even if it needs to be sent back to be fixed that will be very helpful.
    I thank anyone in advance.
    Happy new year :)

    Hi
    Well, I think its really hard to say what the reason is. Maybe the recovery disk is scratchy or the files corrupt there.
    At the moment I cant imagine that its a hardware problem because other Windows disk working properly.
    In your case I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disk and then see what happens. If it works properly and you can install all drivers & tools you should order a new recovery disk from Toshiba directly.
    Bye

  • I can't finde the recovery disc from my Satellite A100-163

    My A100 will not load - can't find the recovery disc. Can I use my A60 recovery disc on my A100 - 163 laptop?

    Sorry, but you cant use the recovery disk from the A60. It will not work.
    You can order a new recovery disk from Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
    Or you go to an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an ASP
    You can also use an original Microsoft disk, but there you must install all drivers manual and this takes a lot of time.

  • Can't find the hard disk

    Hi Everyone, My iMac G5 20" (not iSight) is about 18 months old and I never had any problem with it until a week ago, when it started booting up with white blank screen. I tried to start it up by Tiger, but wouldn't have it, so I went to change the PRAM battery, but broke the clip, now put a new battery and fixed the problem somehow, BUT regardless how often and how hard I tried, the computer can not find the hard disk when it reaches the installation stage. Not by the system DVD or by it's disk utility. I tried the hard disk in my PowerMac, it works fine. I tried another hard disk, just the same. The three lights on the motherboard come on just fine. I have also tried it with the original DVDs (10.3.9) but just the same. Any ideas please? Many thanks

    Hi,
    Ref: iMac 20" (not iSight) model.
    Well, I started it by holding down the option key, like usual it only show the flashing icon the the center of the white screen toggling the small square with question mark, looking for the hard drive.
    I boot the iMac by system CD, it takes me through first 5/6 stages and finally does not find any hard drive to install. During this process, when I use the Apple Hardware, it does not find anything.
    The hard drive works fine on other machines and other working machine hard drive will not be detected on the iMac.
    All three logicboard light come on, showing it works fine, according to Apple manual.
    The iMac was working fine, then after started to miss detecting the hard drive a few times during it last two weeks of being used, now it will not detect the hard drive.
    Looking from logical point of view, it leads to one of the two cables connecting the hard drive to the logicboarde being faulty, but they have never been touched before as well as look fine.
    Would it be caused by backup battery (PRAM)?
    Thanks

  • Satellite T110-11U - Can't find the WLAN router

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite T110-11U. Have had it since Feb and loved it - happily used it wireless throughout the house. Then one day about a month ago unless I was in the same room as the wireless router, wireless doesn't work. I have 2 other laptops (and an iPhone) that still connect wirelessly throughout the house and the garden without problem.
    As you can imagine, this was very strange. When I take it out in to the garden, my other laptops find all the wireless networks in the area, but my Toshiba finds none.
    Suspecting it was a driver issue, I made sure the wireless drivers were up to date. With no joy there, I recovered the system to as it was when purchased (doing a full restore by interupting the booting up and letting the hard disk be wiped and reinstalled etc). Still the same problem. I've even changed the rooms the router is in, and the same problem - the Toshiba can't find the router unless the router is within a couple of metres of the laptop.
    Before I lose the will to live, can someone suggest the cause of my problems, or is it time I admitted defeat and took it back to comet under warranty (where the will probably test it next to a wireless router and tell me all is fine!).
    Many thanks,
    Steve.

    >the Toshiba can't find the router unless the router is within a couple of metres of the laptop
    Does this mean that the T110 can find the wlan but only if its placed near the router?
    Just other hint;
    Go to BIOS and set it to default! Ensure hat Wlan is enabled and dont forget to save the changes.
    You should also go to control panel -> device manager -> Wlan card properties -> Advanced tab.
    Should check the Wlan settings like the Wlan encryption, Wlan channel, etc
    Be sure you have enabled the WLan card on your notebook as well!

  • Re: Satellite A660-12P - can't find the right display driver for Win XP

    Hey everyone, i need some help with this one:
    I just made a dual boot Win7 (x64)/XP (x86) on my laptop, but i can't find the right display drivers for the video controller VGA compatible on XP.
    Does someone know where i can find them?
    Many thanks,

    Yes, you get this message because you cannot install the nVidia rivers only executing the exe file.
    If you want to install such drivers then you have to do this in device manager.
    You have to force the notebook to choose the driver
    You can do this choosing the advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the driver files!

  • Satellite A60-218 - Where to download the recovery disk?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite S60. It is a job computer and it is actually not mine but as I work with and I want it to be faster.
    Someone on the past formated it with a F@kE Windows XP installation disk and all the drivers got lost. Not just the wireless card but also sound and graphics card.
    I found after a lot of searching the sound driver. The main problem is that it is not genuine cpoy of windows and it is very slow because of trojan, etc.
    I beleive the fastest way to fix it is to recover the factory settings (all CDs are lost). Only I could not find in the website the S60 satellite. Is there a recovery iso image to download?
    Can anyone help me? I am really desperate...

    Hi
    Im not sure if you would be able to order the Recovery disk for this Sat A60 notebook.
    Its a older series and I believe that the Recovery disk are not more available for this model. But of course you should get in contact with the local ASP to get more details
    Maybe they have some disk on stock.
    However, the WIN XP drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
    Because the A60 is an older notebook, the drivers have been moved to the Archive area!
    Check archive and you would find all XP drivers.
    PS: You should use a original Win XP disk ;) the copy are not legal and you could not run any necessary updates which are really important to get rid of the Win XP bugs.
    Cheers

  • Can I Create The Recovery Disk(s) From The Recovery Partition? Can I Copy The Partition?

    I searched the forums to find an answer to this question, but was unable to find one. It seems to me that it might be useful info for others trying to create Recovery CD/DVDs from a failed hard drive that still has an accessible Recovery Partition so hopefully we can figure out a solution. :-)
    I have a Pavilion dv9408ca (Vista Home) with a hard drive that won't boot. I removed the hard drive and was able to read it on another system. I was also able to to create a Virtual Machine and run it so I recovered all the important data. I installed it in an external drive case and tried to boot from it but I wasn't able to access the Recovery Partition (F11 option didn't show and didn't work), and Windows wouldn't load.
    It's possible that the controller is the problem so I don't want to buy another hard drive yet. I would like to format the original hard drive and create a 'factory' system but I don't have Recovery CD/DVDs. I cannot create the Recovery CD/DVDs using the Virutal Machine (I presume it's because it's not running on an HP).
    The dv9408ca can boot form the DVD drive (ran UBCD, etc. and they booted fine).
    Can I copy the Recovery Partition and make a bootable set of CD/DVDs by using some other program or copying the files/folders? I have CD/DVD burning software (Nero) that can create bootable CD/DVDs. Or can I use the Virtual Machine to run a program that will do this without using the HP Recovery Manager software in Windows?
    Or... Can I create a set of Recovery CDs from another Pavilion Notebook (different model but same Vista OS) and use those to format/recover the dv9408ca system?
    Thank you for your help with this problem.

    This is only option which might work for you provided the product number of other laptop matches with your existing system Else you can order a set of recovery disk for your Notebook(dv9408ca) from here for a nominal charge.

  • Satellite M300 - Where can I get a recovery disk?

    I have Satellite M300 and I need the recovery disc. My microsoft system crashed and I need to do a recovery.
    Can you help?

    Hey mate,
    You can get a new recovery disk from an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest so please check this!!!
    Alternative you install Windows from a Microsoft disk and then you can download all drivers on the Toshiba page. Then you have factory settings back too but its more complicated as the Toshiba disk.
