Satellite L755-16L - Installing new Win7 without recovery option

Hi...
I have a Toshiba Satellite L755-16L.
I want to re-install windows 7 ,but the recovery option will erase everything....I dont want to use that ,I saw an activation key at bottom of the laptop for win 7 saying it is oa mea ??
So is there any way I could do that without erasing everything.

Hi
Please check http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
There you can find all info about HDD recovery installation and exact info what will be deleted exactly (check Note).
Product key at the bottom means that you have bought notebook with preinstalled OS and valid licence. This key belongs to preinstalled OS version. Dont think you can use it for OS activation if you try to install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc.
> So is there any way I could do that without erasing everything.
I dont know what do you mean under everything.
If you want to have clean preinstalled OS again best option for you is to back-up all important data to external device and after OS installation you can copy all this stuff back to notebooks HDD.

    I just got the mac mini without bluetooth.

    Tis a bummer. It is not a bad idea to have a cheap usb keyboard and mouse around for future troubleshooting purposes, but I am not sure that will get you past this.
    Have you tried plugging stuff in to see if it works? I don't have a happy feeling that it will but it couldn't hurt to try.

  • Satellite L450D Webcam not working after new installation without recovery

    Hi there,
    as posted in the thread title I have a problem with the integrated webcam of a customer notebook. Two days ago the operating system of this laptop was damaged by a virus and needed to be re-installed. I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
    The only thing that worked was a clean install with a windows 7 64 Bit retail dvd and the key printed on the sticker of the laptop. I managed to get everything working again except one part - the webcam.
    No driver installation, bios update and re-installation worked to get this part to work.
    Did anyone of you know this problem and have a fix for me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Greetings Saphire
    P.S.: One thing shall be also important. When I look into the installed devices manager the driver for the webcam is listed as usb webcam and the manufaturer of it is Microsoft.

    Hi
    I dont think that this needs to be fixed because I dont think its hardware related issue.
    I think there is something wrong with the software on your notebook.
    I mean everything worked perfectly until virus has damage the OS. Right?
    You said this:
    >I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
    I really wonder why you could not get this working using Recovery disk.
    So possibly this is the key to this issue
    On the Toshiba European driver page I could find Registry Patch v1.1 For Win 7 64bit
    Also webcam driver v 1.1.1.4 is available there
    I think the OS is responsible for your issue possibly some patches are applied or similar

  • How do I install mountain lion without recovery partition.

    I have a Mac Mini with two 500 GB disks that I mirrored (RAID10) and lost the recovery partition in the process.
    The Mountain Lion installer indicates it will install anyway but without some minor features.
    But, when it reboots as part of the install process, it does not actually install.
    Is there something special I need to do?

    Did you use LionDiskMaker or DiskMaker X?
    Boot the machine with the option key down until you see your bootable USB stick.  Select the latter, and reboot.
    When the installer boots up, you will first need to choose Utilities and Disk Utility. Select the target HD device name and then the partition tab. Select 1 partition, name it Macintosh HD. Format is Mac OS Extended, and option is GUID. Apply. Exit Disk Utility and return to the installer, which will now show your newly partitioned HD as available for install.
    When OS X is installed and all updates applied, press shift+command+U and run disk utility again. Verify/repair permissions and verify the boot disk.

  • Dv6000, installed new HDD, used recovery disk DVD, computer keeps restarting on it's own

    HP dv6402ca
    Installed new HDD - WD Scorpio Blue 500G
    I ordered the recovery disk DVD from Computer Surgeons.
    I installed the recovery in drive bay and restarted as per instructions. Everything went fine and when it started windows for the first time that went ok as well, it kept restarting like it said it would to install all software. Now, with everything installed it is still restarting on it's own. I let it go on overnight as I thought this might be normal, but when I got up 5 hours later it was still restarting.
    I don't what else to do, please help.

    Hi, Andrew:
    Sometimes it takes a while. You may want to abort the installation and try again.
    You may also want to use this workaround if you can't get the recovery disks to work.
    If you can read your 25 character MS product key, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disk. Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them (just short of going ahead with the actual install) and they appeared to work perfectly.
    Apparently when you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/softwa​re-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-vi​...
    After you successfully install vista, you can download the drivers you need from your PC's support and driver page.

  • Satellite L755-167 turns off suddenly without any warning playing game

    From a while every time i play a game like "PES 2014, NFS,....ETC",
    My laptop "Toshiba Satellite L755-167" turns off suddenly almost with in 2 minutes.
    I tried to do a clean boot but it doesn't work, the laptop works a little longer then it turns off again.
    And it happened lately several times during surfing the internet.
    I'm using Windows 8.1 pro 64x operating system
    What could be the problem, how can i fix it?

    I guess the unit shuts Off due to higher temperature.
    The temperature could increase while gaming because the CPU and GPU work at the limit.
    In case the internal cooling fans and cooling grilles are clogged by dust, the air cannot circulate properly and this leads to higher temperature.
    So in case this issue is related to higher temperature, you should clean your cooling fans using an compressed air spray. This helps to get rid of dust.

  • Install Blackberry Link without network options

    How do we install Blackberry Link without the automatic network adapters. I only use USB cable to connect to my device from Win7 Pro. I removed Blackberry Link for the time being as it seemingly slows down VPN's I use for business. I don't need to use the wireless connection features to sync with my computer and don't want to. When I uninstall BlackBerry link and all of the Blackberry network adapters and features are removed, then VPN connections run smoothly (Cisco Mobility, SonicWall, SafeGuard VPN). Else they're choppy. I don't want to diagnose, I just want Blackberry Link or Blackberry Desktop software that will function only with USB, only when I connect my device to my computer, without all the overhead of features I don't need installed as I don't use them.

    No. it does not. No Arch installation would give you a desktop by default. It seems that you need to read more about Arch and its philosophy. You can however master your own ISO, if you are willing to go that route.
    You might want to give some other distros a try. Maybe Debian or Ubuntu, or even Slackware which provides everything on a single CD or DVD.
    I know Arch, but usually I install Arch with a NetInstall and I execute this command
    pacman -S xfwm4 xfce4-panel xfdesktop thunar xfce4-session xfce4-settings xfce4-appfinder xfce-utils xfconf
    but this proccess is very slow and I thought that with core image that would be different.
    Then I need a network connection....

  • Re: Satellite T110-107 will not boot into recovery option screen using f8 key.

    I have tried numerous times and can't get the system recovery option by intermittently hitting the *f8 key during startup* like it says in the manual, it just goes straight into Windows. I just installed the latest BIOS but that didn't help either. I have no disks for recovery but I would like to get the f8 issue solved anyway. Everything else works perfectly. Thanks.

    Hi
    Maybe you didnt press the F8 in the right manner
    You have to press F8 immediately after the notebook has been powered up!!!
    Press it several times to be 100% sure
    If this will not function, create the recovery disk!!! This should be done at first before doing anything with the notebook!!!!
    The recovery disk is always important and helpful if something would go wrong with the HDD!!!
    After creating the recovery disk use this disk in order to set the notebook back to the same state like at the first day of purchase

  • I have to use two different versions of Firefox for two different employers - How to install new version without losing old one?

    One employer requires that I use Firefox 3. Another requires that I use the newest version. How do I install a new version Firefox to a different path without over-writing the old version?

    The easiest way it to have one version be a Firefox Portable installation. The Portable installation is self-contained and won't affect your "regular" Firefox installation.<br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
    Otherwise you need to set up a Profile specifically for the 2nd version and make sure the correct Profile is launched with each version. <br />
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles] <br />
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    Overall you are probably better off replacing your current Firefox 3.6.25 version with the Portable Apps version - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36 - and install Firefox 9.0.1 as your "regular" installation.

  • Satellite L550D-13V - How to recover without recovery disks?

    Hi together,
    I got a big problem. Win 7 Home Premium 64 BIT crashed on my satellite L550D-13V.
    I tried to repair but it doesn't work. So I decided to recover via HDD Utility.
    Everything seems to be okay but in the end the tool said that errors occured. I tried to recover again but the process aborted with bluescreen "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" this time.
    After reboot system told me that no bootmgr is available. I tried to boot by using recovery disk but it also seems to be faulty because the system cannot not boot from the disks.
    And there's my problem. I am unable to boot / recover now. Volume D seems to be okay - the HDD utility files are still available but I cannot create new recovery disks and it is not possible to boot into HDD utility tool.
    Do you have any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance and regards
    Danny

    Hi
    The story is strange
    Im wondering why you are not able to boot from the Recovery disk?
    Did you use the created recovery disk in the past or did you try this disk for the first time?
    However, regarding the error message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    I googled for that and it seems that this could be related to memory fault.
    Possibly one of the modules malfunctions.
    Of course this is just an personal opinion
    If an HDD folder is available on your HDD, then there is a small chance to get the HDD recovery to work. Here a interesting thread:

  • Can't install new applications without administrator...which is me.

    Currently, I cannot install any new software on my mac. I have a PowerMac G5, dual 2-Ghz 2-GB RAM, OS 10.3.9. Whenever I attempt, it tells me that I need to be (or contact) the adminstrator, which I am; most often, I can get an "authenticate" option where I can simply re-type my password. Other times I don't get the option and the install shuts down. This all happened after I ran the drivers for the Arduino microprocessor. Any ideas?

    This sounds like normal behaviour. The OS is supposed to ask you to approve changes that are system-wide. Or am I missing your point?
    Other times I don't get the option and the install shuts down.
    This, on the other hand, does not.
    This all happened after I ran the drivers for the Arduino microprocessor. Any ideas?
    The suggestions about first aid sound like good ones... Before repairing permissions, verify the disk and make sure it says it "appears to be OK".

  • Install new Ipod without loosing my old tunes

    I got a new ipod to replace my old one that got stolen out of my car. My question is this: Can I instal my new ipod while keeping my existing songs/videos on my itunes. I was under the impression that I had to reinstall Itunes. I do not want to throw away the 2000 songs I have.

    You don't need to reinstall iTunes to use another iPod with it. Just connect your iPod and follow the on screen instructions, it will find your existing iTunes and update.

  • Install new xcode without admin rights

    Hi there,
    I saw alot of threads about XCode as non-admin but non if it helped...
    We have a setup with the programmers are non-admins...
    We want to make the programmers choose and select a specific XCode version from the server.
    We created a simple shell-Script wich lets the user select all versions on the company server wich we provide and copies it to ~/Applications
    This works fine and the users are very happy with that.
    Problems:
    As soon as he starts the XCode.app he gets asked for Administration Privileges to install "Components"
    (what are these anyway? Or cant we provide them somehow?)
    If this is done by a Administrator the XCode works fine and there is no issue
    BUT: If the programmer wants to install Command Line Tools he will be asked again for Admin-rights.
    Not for the Doc Sets (We just placed them in the User Library instead of /Library)
    We've tried:
    DevToolsSecurity -enable
    dscl . append /Groups/_developer GroupMembership
    Didnt helped :-(
    Are there any other suggestions than edit the /etc/authorization file?
    thanks in advance for any suggestions.....

    True, but they do need many of the same tools that programmers will need.
    That is an entirely different topic than what the original poster is talking about. I suggest you start your own thread and describe your problem and how you would like things to work in an ideal world.
    Students should not have admin rights on machines. There are proper ways to get Xcode to work nicely in an education environment. Unfortunately, that often requires a competent IT staff willing and able to support Macs. I am thinking that your situation is pretty typical and you don't have that. Otherwise, it would already be done and you wouldn't be asking here .
    Ideally, have IT handle it. If they can't handle it, as they probably can't, start a new question here in the developer forum and people will help you cobble together some scripts to make it work.

  • Installing new windows without losing my podcasts settings???

    Hi,
    since i've got problems with my windows, i am really keen on formatting and reinstalling xp. i've already made a backup of all my podcast-files (my itunes library is on drive d:, so formating drive c: won't affect my files anyway),
    however, i don't want to lose my podcast settings and descriptions within itunes. is there any solution for this problem
    thanks in advance for your help

    Podcast descriptions are part of the episode files. Episodes use the artist, album, and track track tags for this.
    When opening iTunes on new installation hold down the shift key during startup of iTunes. It will open dialog to select library. Navigate to file and select it.
    Some of this may help
