> I don't have a free usb drive to test the usb mode.
I would recommend you to purchase an separate USB memory stick and to create the such recovery USB flash memory media.
Please check also this different procedure described in this Toshiba HowTO

  • Problem with the Recovery Media Creator

    Hello, I just bought an Portege Z385-p370, it came in yesterday morning (April 23- 2012) Brand new, an I haven't had it for 24 hours and I am already having problems.
    As I read that I should make the Recovery Media, went on and bought a 16G USB, plugged in to the laptop and started the process. It lasted like 2 hours in like 30% of completion and that was all, I had to cancellit, didn't work either. So I used CTR + ALt + Del, and close it. Then I tried to shut down the lap top, and surprise, didn't work either, lasted like 20 minutes until I did it manually.
    I have been trying to Create the Recovery like 5 times already, erased all of mi files from the computer (in order to get it factory-like) and I am currently running the Recovery again (has been in 30% for 10 minutes already). Last time I did it, It stopped like in 70% completion (on safe mode restart).
    PD. pc has no CD drive
    Please help me, It is getting into my nerve, doing this into a brand new.
    my email. [email protected] I some one has any clue on this.
    thank you very much.

    it came in yesterday morning. Brand new, an I haven't had it for 24 hours and I am already having problems.
    I am currently running the Recovery again ...  Last time I did it, It stopped like in 70% completion
    I would return that computer post haste.

  • Toshiba Recovery Media Creator Error Code 020150-20-00000000 (Satallite L755-S5308)

    We just received 2 - Toshiba Satallite L755-S5308 Laptops over the thanksgiving holiday from Best Buy and the first thing we normally do after powering up the laptops is to create our recovery disc sets to DVD's. However, both laptops are giving the same error message on both machines at the same point in the creation of the Recovery DVD Disc 4 when using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Please See Eror Message Below:
    Failed To Read The Following File.
    D:\ZZImages\ZZImages\Preinst18.swm
    (Error Code: 020150-20-00000000)
    If you are getting this error message then you will not be able to restore your laptop factory software and operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    You could create an image of the entire HDD onto another drive, but this can be a headache for a lot of users and would require specialized hardware and a HDD enclosure. As such, it's not a feasible solution.
       Oh,come now.  You can buy 'specialized hardware' -- an HDD enclosure -- from a widely known online computer store for $12.99 with free shipping, and a spare plain old Seagate 500 GB hard drive (nothing very special about it, except that it costs more since the flooding in Thailand) running at 7200 rpm from a different widely known online computer store for $99.99 (shipping extra).  Seagate gives away its branded version of Acronis True image for free.  It is not that hard to use.   I believe the L755 has a 500 GB 5400 rpm hard disc drive, so this Seagate may make the laptop run faster under some conditions.   Creating an image of the laptop HDD onto this 2nd HDD mounted in the enclosure may take hours, but consider the only other alternative, below:
         Anyone who thinks that solution is not feasible can just wait until their one and only hard disc drive fails or develops a software problem.    Without usable recovery discs, the machine must be dropped off or mailed to a service center.  Compare the waiting and the expense to have someone else solve that kind of problem with the effort and expense of preventing it.   If you don't mind being without your computer for a few days or weeks, go for the simple way.
         By the way, even the best home-burned optical discs are prone to develop unexpected failures after they are created.  I've never had a factory pressed optical disc properly stored develop a late failure.  If these work out of the box, they work a couple of years later.   The technologies behind a home-burned disc and a factory-pressed disc are different.
        Getting back to my original point, should your 1st HDD fail, and should you have a 2nd HDD with the cloned image of the 1st HDD, your recovery takes as long as it takes to remove HDD #1, installed HDD #2, and reboot your laptop, involving about 5 minutes of your time and perhaps a small screwdriver.  You can test whether or not your cloned backup works the same way, by installing HDD #2 and seeing if it works.   If you only have a single HDD, there is no good way to test your recovery media, since they overwrite your original HDD.

  • Strange Problem with Toshiba Express Media Player on Satellite M115-S3094

    I'm experiencing a strange problem in my Toshiba M115-S3094, which was pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition and which also had the Toshiba Express Media Player.
    I had previously done a clean Vista installation on it, and then I decided to revert back to XP with my recovery DVD. I did the same procedures of first installing Express Media Player from Backup (which I made when i purchased the laptop) and then installing XP from Windows XP recovery DVD from Toshiba.
    The steps included:
    1- Deleted partitions from Express media player recovery disk
    2- Installed express media player
    3- Recovered Xp from Recovery DVD, by selecting "Recover without changing Partitions" (there is no expert mode)
    Everything went very well (i.e. the installation)......But now after shutting down my laptop as I press the Express Media Center button, the "Express Media Player" logo appears on the screen after loading for 5 seconds laptop shutdowns,
    I tried to open it again and again but the logo appears for 5 seconds and then my laptop shutdown....
    Laptop works fine when I logon to windows by pressing power button.
    Can anyone help on this strange issue..?

    Hi Jaba
    Thnx for reply.
    Now i would answer the questions asked by you and try to clear you confusion,
    Yes, Express Media Player was previously installed on my machine, and I have used it, it was perfectly working.
    About installation of Media Player, The whole story is that, firstly i wasnt known about how to make a Toshiba express media player recovery cd through windows, so downloaded an ISO of the media player from a forum and install media player by first deleting partitions.
    After that I can again installed xp through recovery dvd and choose the option "out of box" state and then selected "install without changing partitions"
    After a successfull recovery, I shutdown my pc and pressed the media player button, the media player logo appeared for 5 seconds and then my laptop shutsdown, this is happening all the time when i start my laptop by the Express media player button.
    After this I read somewhere how to create a backup recovery cd for Express media player, So i run the recovery disk creater and made a backup of Toshiba Express media player.
    After doing the above procedure I again formated my hard drive through recovery dvd and selecting the option "Delete partitions and overwrite sectors". When this was finished, i booted my laptop with the newly made recovery cd for express player, after selecting English as my language, This it what said:
    "Installation Error" An error occured due to wrong system ID or unsufficient space on hard drive, press escape to quit.
    THE ABOVE IS THE WHOLE PROCESS IN COMPLETE DETAIL.
    AND JAMA,
    About the link you provided, it says that on the Recovery dvd select the option for "Expert Mode", but in my recovery dvd (for Toshiba M115- S3094) there is no such option as expert mode, there are only two options
    1- Restore laptop to "out of box" state
    2- Format Hard Drive

  • How Reliable Is Toshiba Recovery Media Creator?

    Is there any way to test the disks without doing a reinstall?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Toshiba provides very little bloatware compared to a lot of manufacturers. Also like most other majour manufacturer's, Toshiba does not provide full install disks, just the ability to create recovery media. He cannot do a clean install unless he has access to media through other channels.

  • Problem with usb recovery media

    Hello all,
    I own a Lenovo L412. A disc test complained that my HDD is about to die, so I decided to upgrade to an SSD. I bought an SSD, an 16gb USB flash stick and an external disk enclosure. The plan was to get the OS from my R&R to the USB flash stick, replace the drive, reinstall windows from the flash disk, and use the enclosure with my old drive to copy the files I need to the new one, as long as it is alive.
    So I used the thinkvantage menu to get the OS to the USB stick, it says this was done successfuly and it also does not allow me to repeat it. The problem is when I try to boot from this stick, all I get is an empty screen and the cursor blinking on the top left corner. What can I do?
    Best wishes,
    plutonas

    Hello and welcome,
    Did you prep the USB flash drive before running the recovery ceation?
    New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
    If this is the problem you may be able to rescue the flash drive by one of two methods:
    1) Just set the partition active.  Use the instructions in the link above, but don't clean create or format.  Just select the partition and set active.  Anything else will erase the drive.
    2) Prepare a 2nd drive per the full set of instructions in the above link.  Then just copy the contents of the 1st drive to the 2nd one.
    You've already used your one opportunity to create a recovery drive, so be careful to not erase it.  On some systems it's possible to do a hack to create a 2nd drive if necessary.
    I can't guarantee this is causing the boot failure, but it's at least a possibility.

  • Satellite Pro L875: Cannot burn DVD in Recovery Media Creator and Win 8

    I have a Satellite Pro L875 with Blu-ray Burner.
    I tried to create DVD Recovery disc, the burning process stopped and had error prompt asked me to check if the disc was damaged or scratched. After the burning process, the DVD was not blank and had some data written on it.
    I tried to burn data disc in windows 8. the burner did not start. I only able to add files to the drive.
    I play Blu-ray movies and dvd movies, the blu ray drive was fine.
    I found information about the appropriate dvd disc speed that matched the burner speed.
    How do I know what speed the burner support?
    How to burn DVD or Blu-Ray in windows 8? ( I have looked at Microsoft forum but the solution did not work.)
    It would be great if anyone answer and make the drive burn some discs.

    At first it will be interesting to see why you cannot create recovery discs.
    Have you used empty DVD-R media? If not please use it and buy some high quality product like Verbatim or TDK.
    Is there option to create recovery USB stick?
    Burning under Win8? Have you tried to use some burning applications like NERO?

  • Satellite C50-A-19T - recovery disks not working

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19T laptop with OS windows 8.1
    Recently my laptop had booting problems so i contacted toshiba support and they told me to get recovery disk from backupmedia.toshiba.eu and i ordered the disk and it arrived today#
    When i enter the recovery disk and boot from the disk drive (ODD) it brings the windows logo then after a minute it goes to a blank screen and i waited and after a while it was still a blank screen
    I had already went into the BIOS to change the settings to boot from the CD but even after that the same problem persists
    Please help

    Hi
    Go to BIOS and disable the option called: secure boot
    Now you should be able to boot from the ODD.
    By the way: please check if the HDD is listed on the first BIOS page (name, size, etc)
    In case the HDD details are not visible, the HDD isnt recognized by BIOS this could be related to HDD malfunction.

  • Satellite L505-10K - Unexpected error when using recovery disk creator

    Can't make any recovery disc when I open toshiba recovery media creator, it says: an unexpected error occurred. Close the program and then restart it (error code: 0D00F6-49-00000015) and then I click ok and then it comes again and then I click ok and it comes again and I click ok and then the program comes and when I create the disc it comes to the verification, but then it says: Unable to read the following file. E: \ Boot \ fonts \ chs_boot.ttf (error code: 02015-20-00000000).
    I really do need help, I'm afraid something will happen to my computer, so is there anyone who knows something about this kind of problem?
    Thankful for your help.

I'm from sweden.

  • Satellite A660-13Q - Error when opening recovery media creator

    My problem is that: When I try to open the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator application gives me the next error: "CAN NOT get information from the disk controller" with the options Accept or Cancel, when Accept then gives the next error --> "there has been an unexpected error. out of this application and restart it. Error code: 0d00f6-49-00000001" then accept next error "there has been an unexpected error. out of this application and restart it. Error code: 0D0172-49-00000001" Then accept, the application open correctly.
    Please, I need a solucion of the errors, Thanks.

    Hey,
    I dont know what to say but fact is you cant start Toshiba recovery disk creator there is not much what you can do because you cant download this program on official Toshiba website.
    In your case I would try to recover your notebook to factory settings using HDD recovery option:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm
    After this create the recovery disk again before you install any new software or something else.
    I could also imagine that you installed another program that blocks recovery disk creator but its hard to say about this so try HDD recovery and see what happens.

  • Won't boot from Toshiba Recovery Media; Will boot from Win 8 builder DVD

    Satellite L855-S5309, Windows 8, 64-bit
    Created 2 sets of Windows 8 Recovery Media using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.  First set a year ago, created a new set yesterday.
    The laptop will not boot to either set (DVD 1).   The DVD is bootable in another machine.  EUFI is grayed out.
    Tried a Windows 8 DVD store bought.  It booted from this DVD. 
    The big question:  Why won't the Toshiba laptop see its own DVD it created for recovery?
    Win 8 Repair DVD - boots from USB drive but won't see DVD files on drive.  Is this the image?
    Do I need to order the recovery media?

  • Question about Recovery Media Creator

    Hello everyone, first of all, I don't know if this question should be in this catergory, but I thought this would be the best to post in.
    My question is about the Recovery Media Creator procces. I was about to create the recovery DVD and I noticed there are several Recovery Media options (Recovery Media 1 to Recovery Media 3).
    My question is, what are the differences between them? Does it matter if I only check one of them so I would need less DVD's or a smaller USB?
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. excuse my grammar or bad explanation if there is any mistake.

    Using Toshiba recovery media creator recovery image saved on HDD will be copied on DVDs or USB media and it will be created as bootable media.
    How many discs must be used depends on recovery image. For some notebooks 2 discs are needed and for some of them you need 3 discs.
    The tool gives you also info which medias you can use and suggest you, for instance which USB device you need. For my U940 is 16 GB USB listed as suggested due to 9,2 GB recovery image.

  • Recovery media creator: "Can not get Disk driver information. No HDD Recovery area!...

    The Toshiba Recovery Media Creator can not be launched."
    That´s the final part of the message I receive when I try to make the system image.
    As you can see (image below), this recovery partition exists, I haven´t deleted nor modified it in any way, and besides it´s in good state. I don´t understand why I get this error message. What can I do to get this recovery partition recognized by the application. I really need to make a system image.
    Please, if somebody has any idea of how to fix this thing, I´d really appreciate your help.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Will, I'm afraid you'll need to order recovery discs and restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using them.

    BTW, the 1.46 GB partition you're looking at is not the recovery partition. It contains the Windows Recovery Environment.

  • Satellite L300 Windows 7 back to Vista with Toshiba Recovery CDs

    Hello all,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Series L300 (2008 model) laptop which originally had Vista but I installed Windows 7 Professional on it. I now wish to return back to Vista.
    I noted that the 'Windows.old' folder created on the C:/ drive seems to be missing a lot of files and could have been altered since the date it was created. I think it would be too risky to use it to recover back to Vista.
    So my question is can I use my original set of Toshiba Recovery DVDs to get back to Vista? I want to do a full factory reset to recover my system to when it was originally purchased with Vista.
    If the Recovery DVDs is not an option and the only was is by using the Windows.old folder, if it is lacking important files could it leave my system corrupted? I am sure there is a way to get back to Vista by factory restore somehow.
    Comments and feedback urgently required!
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello sauza
    Wait a moment. You mix two different things. If you want to install original recovery image it can be done on two ways:
    # Using created recovery discs DVDs
    # Install image using HDD recovery method (recovery image saved on HDD)
    >Ok but how do I use the Toshiba recovery disks to reset my computer back to Vista factory settings?
    This question is related to method 1.
    >I press F8 at start-up---> select Repair computer---> select my language----> Then it gives me Windows 7 Options to only Restore by Disk Image which I created at a earlier date.
    This description is related to method 2 and has nothing with installation with Toshiba recovery disks as you wrote in your last posting.
    Method 2 can be used if notebook has factory settings. After own OS installation recovery image is not available anymore and recovery image can be installed with recovery discs only.
    I hope you understand now how it works.
    If you have more questions please let me know.
