Satellite C660 - How to recover to factory state?

I'd like to recover my Toshiba Satellite C660 to it's original state.
I did not create any DVDs at startup.
On the D: partition there is an 11GB folder called HDDrecovery.
When I press F8 at startup I do not see any option to use them.
does anyone know how I can recover? The option circled in red is not available.

Interesting. I will try. My situation is different though. My files look a lot like this:
the files on the disc are

Satellite C660 - How to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system?

Can some one please tell me how to change from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system for my Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook?
No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
Thanks in advance

>No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
In user manual you could find a info that recovery disk needs to be created using preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media (disk) Creator
>I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
The Toshiba image of some notebook models contains the Win 7 32bit and 64bit system.
Not sure if your image supports both versions so cannot say for sure if you would be able to switch to 64bit but try this:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
During HDD recovery procedure you should be asked what version you want to chooseof course if both versions would be available so check thisotherwise you will need to purchase an 64bit version.

Satellite L300D - how to recover Vista without loosing data partition?

Moved all my personal archives to partition D:
Not sure if I can create bootable recovery dvds (system is unstable)
1 *Id like to reinstall vista without formatting D partition* (where my data is)
Find this guide for HDD recovery procedure
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
What steps should I follow?
2 If HDD is defective, how can I re-install supplied OS (vista) to a new HDD ?
3 Unrelated to the above, can I update to Windows 7 (clean install)
32 or 64bit version?

Hi
I will try to help you.

As far as I know on second HDD partition in folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start HDD recovery installation (F8 at start-up) recovery image from partition D will be installed on partition C. In this case partition D will not be deleted. Just partition C will be formatted before recovery image installation starts.
Just use F8 option and go to repair my computer. Just follow menu on the screen and choose option Recovery of factory default software.
> 2 If HDD is defective, how can I re-install supplied OS (vista) to a new HDD ?
After reading this question I see you didnt read users manuals document. You should create recovery media (recovery DVD) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is some problem with HDD or you want to install original recovery image on new HDD.
> 3 Unrelated to the above, can I update to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64bit version?
Of course you can do this. Visit please Toshiba download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all drivers, tools and utilities are available there. Of course before you do this, create recovery DVD.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Satellite C660 - How to downgrade the BIOS?

I have the same problem. Latest BIOS version for my notebook is 1.3 but on my is 1.4 installed?! Notebook is 10 days and I cant work with it.
We have few C660 (PSC0LE) we bought tham on same day and they all have 1.3 and are working perfect. Only my is BIOS 1.4 version and its not good at all.
Please my question is how can I flash BIOS with 1.3?

Hey,
I agree with the user above. BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. So you should get in contact with the guys and ask if they can downgrade the BIOS for you or probably they can send you an older BIOS version via e-mail Just talk with the guys a little bit ;)
But normally newest BIOS version has most bug fixes so I dont think a downgrade is useful

How to recover to factory settings

Hi All,
I've been having some problems whilst trying to recover my HP Pavilion Dv6 to Factory Settings. I'm running a 64-bit Operating system, and have 4 GB installed RAM and AMD Turion Dual Core M520 Processor.
Simply put, I'd like to make a fresh start on my HP Dv6 and would like to revert to factory settings- i've manually backed up some files by inserting a CD and dragging the files across (burning them.) but was unable to carry out the official backup, as it kept stopping at 31% and saying it couldn't complete the Backup successfully.
Anyway, my problem is that I've checked various online forums and still haven't found a solution to my problem. Firstly, I didn't have the PC recovery manager and had to get that installed. However, it had various .dll files missing- whenever i found them on the internet and installed them, it would find a new error. Finally, the last error I received was this- 'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.'
Now, before anyone suggests any other methods like trying F11, i have and it just booted normally (I saw this problem on many other forums.) I've also tried to create a system image, that failed spectacularly- all it did was restart the computer. Like i said, I don't actually have a backup that windows recognises, just some files that I dragged across to burn to a disk (It was treated like a USB Stick).
That's my issue. I'd greatly appreciate a fast reply, but if it's not possible then it isn't possible I guess
Thanks a lot to anyone who takes the time to reply ^o^

Hi:
When your recovery can't be done, then you have two choices as I see it.
1. order a set of recovery disks for your notebook from HP by following the info at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lan...
2. Use this workaround (or use it until you get your recovery disks). Using this workaround will not include the programs that came with your PC.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to DVD's for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Satellite C660 - how to enable and Use WAKE ON LAN?

Hi All,
I previously posted asking about using Wake on Wireless LAN and was very helpfully advised that this was not possible, so I have started to explore the Wake ON LAN option.
I have a Toshiba C660 PSC0LE-00500JEN and have enabled Wake ON LAN on the BIOS, and have connected a LAN cable between my wireless router and the laptop, both of which recognise each other so the cable seems ok.
However, whether I use a WAKE ON LAN app on my android, or I use an online "wake on lan via browser" site, the laptop still remains asleep.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
James

Hi
The Wake Up on Lan option would work if you would send an Magic Packet to the remote machine (notebook).
I have no experience using the Android app who knows if it function properly
Try other method. For example using an software like Wake on Lan for Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Google for that to download this software.
Furthermore go to device manager -> LAN card -> Properties -> Advanced tab and check here if the WOL is enabled too

Satellite L350D - How to recover Windows?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my L350D and I removed Windows Vista (and all of my files) by mistake..There was not a windows recovery cd rom when i bought the L350D. What should i do to recover windows vista? Is there any way to have Windows Vista again on my computer without buying the software for a second time? Thank you very much

Hey,
> There was not a windows recovery cd rom
Yes because you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but everything about this is mentioned in your user manual.
> What should i do to recover windows vista?
There is only one way to restore the original settings from Toshiba: Its Toshiba recovery disk and if you dont have it you can order it here:

Hello
As far as I know your notebook was delivered with HDD recovery image. That means it is saved on second HDD partition. If you want to have original state again (factory state), install OS again using HDD recovery procedure. How to do this you can read in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
In the whole story I see one problem. Notebook is delivered with HDD recovery and I believe it was Win7 64bit only. When one other OS version is installed you will lose HDD recovery option and OS can be installed with recovery DVD only.
So my questions to you:
Can you start HDD recovery procedure as described in Toshiba document?
Have you created recovery DVD following instruction described in users manuals?

HT1727 ok...so I had to restore my computer back to its original factory state:( now I have lost all my music on itunes. Can I get them back?? if so, how??

You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

How to activate web cam on Satellite C660-C660D?

I cant get my webcam built in to work on Satellite C660D/C660. Do I need to switch it on or download a driver?
Help

Hiya
is the operating system the factory installed system eg:- the system that was installed when you bought it
or when it was purchased from new ??
if so hopefully you could press the start key then all programmes and search for toshiba and click on them and you may find the webcam
also if it is the factory os then you should be able to go to:-
start programes or all programes toshiba/toshiba recovery/software
and re install the webcam if it is not working
this link i believe will take you to a site to download the user guide if this is not in your programes
http://www.pdfuu.com/toshiba-satellite-c660-manual-users-guide-and-troubleshooting.html
or go to :- www.toshibasupport.co.uk
then use the dropdown boxes to find your model no and then find your os and then the webcam driver
you could always use skype to take photos with your webcam or download a free app ( desktop webcam )
i hope you can get it sorted

When you have a long running thread it's almost always a loop, often with a wait or sleep which causes it to wait until it's activitty is needed.
So if you want to be able to wind up a thread from another thread then you put a boolean flag in which can break the loop. The other thread then changes that flag and calls interupt() on the thread it's trying to stop. Interupt will kick the thread out of wait or sleep if that's where it is, causing an InterruptedException. On discovering that the flag indicates it should stop, or on catching an InterruptedException the thread should then clean up and finish.
The master thread can call join on the thread it's stopping if it needs to wait for it to terminate.
