Satellite pro PSA65E recovery

I have lost the recovery CDs and I try to recover from HDD, but when I hold down the zero key and power on, no recovery menu appears. Does this model support HDD recovery?
Thanks

I don't see anything in there about recovering from a partition on the hard drive.
You can order the recovery media from here.

Satellite Pro A100 - Recovery disk creator doesn't exist!

Can anyone help! My laptop works fine, but I wanted to create a boot disk incase of problems.
But Toshiba Assist>Protect & Fix> doesnt give me an option to create a boot disk.
Is this expected with this model?
I do have the Toshiba Recovery Disk that came with the computer, but have been warned NOT to test it, otherwise it may actually cause me problems!
Any ideas?
Satellite Pro A100-302
Part Number : PSAACE-008002EN

This option is not offered on this notebook model. Because of that Toshiba gives DVD recovery that can be used for operating system installation.

Satellite Pro A10 recovery disks fail to reinstall Win XP

My Sat Pro A10 operated happily running a dual boot system (XP and Mandriva) before failing to start one day.
I successfully used the Toshiba recovery disks and all was OK for a year or so before the same fault recurred.
Now recovery disk Nr.1does not restores the system and the laptop switches off after appearing to function normally for about 20 seconds.
Restoring the MBR and reformatting using a Win 98 recovery floppy failed to solve the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas please?

>Now recovery disk Nr.1does not restores the system and the laptop switches off after appearing to function normally for about 20 seconds.
Sorry but this sentence confuses me. What you mean under function normally? Start your notebook, enter BIOS settings and leave it with this. Does notebook switches off after short time or what?
Maybe you should explain a little bit better what happen when you start your notebook.

Satellite Pro A200: Recovery using a network ghost boot disk

Hi all,
Need to ghost several sat pro a200 machines using a network ghost boot disk. when i use the ghost disk provided by ghost boot wizard and booting into PC dos i get the message "No Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Found!" Serious Internal Error! (hardware works OK in XP/Vista)
i have tried booting from CD, Mem Stick and USB floppy with drivers from toshiba and realtek without any success, searches on google seem to point toward there needing to be a driver to interface with the cardbus / PCMCIA adapter - if this IS the case can anyone shed any light on the whereabouts of such a driver and how i could go about doing this?
Many thanks,
Gav Shakespeare.

Sorry folks answered my own question - the network card is reported as being an RTL8134 in windows XP but is in fact an RTL8100E/RTL8101E so i was using the wrong NDIS2 Driver!. doh!
emergency over.

Satellite Pro L300D Recovery Partition

Hi,
How do I start the recovery program using the recovery partition? The manual states that I should press and hold down the 0 (zero) key while powering on the laptop. I've tried that, holding the zero-key down but then the computer starts "screaming" at me until I release the key, and then Windows tries to boot. Any ideas?

are you holding zero above P? if it doesnt work use the recovery media you were supposed to make. if you didnt make them you can order online

Satellite Pro M40 hard drive failure - Recovery disc on new drive?

Hi
My Satellite Pro M40 hard disk has died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately my old drive is 60Gig and the Toshiba parts website has only 40 Gig or 80 Gig drives.
Will I encounter any problems with the recovery disc if the hard drive is not exactly the same?
Your advice would be appreciated.
C

No, there shouldnt be any problem with the Toshiba recovery CD.
On the recovery CD you will find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and additional software.
These whole applications are packed in image files.
You should only be sure that the HDD is compatible with your notebook and will be recognized in the BIOS.
Then just simply boot from the recovery CD and the installation should start.

Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

Hii!
Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
Also...
Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
I dont understand!
If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
Thanks!

Of course the Recovery CD will work.
The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
> Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!
> If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.
Best regards

Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using Recovery CD

I have just purchased a Satellite Pro A200 lap-top, which was supplied with Product Recovery disks for both Vista and XP.
The Vista licence specifically also licences XP.
Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to either Vista or XP ? If so, how?
I would also like, as a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
Any comments ?

Hmmm. Usually its possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista Recovery CD formats the whole HDD during the Vista installation and this will lead to losing of the installed OS's.
Im not 100% sure about the XP Recovery CD The newest CD called RECO doesnt include expert mode which allows choosing between different partitions.
So I presume every usage of the Recovery CD will format the HDD and will erase the installed data. But of course you could try to install both OS and to check if the XP recovery CD allows choosing second portion for the OS installation.
If it will not function it seems that you will need either an original Microsoft XP CD or the original Vista CD to use both OS.
Best regards

Product recovery problems on Satellite Pro A200

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro A200. It is running very slowly and sometimes it freezes up when I log on.
Also the homepage has been hijacked and I have tried several anti spyware programs and they have not worked.
I have the product recovery disc but the problem the DVD rom drive has stopped working.
The light is on but it will not open unless I use the manual release.
I have removed it and checked the connections but it seems o.k.
The DVD/CD rom has disappeared from the device manager and does not show up under hardware.
I have tried system restore but this also will not work.
Is there anyway you can use the product recovery software if you boot from a USB key?
I have tried restarting the computer and choosing boot from CD but it will not give me that option.
I have looked in the bios and the only boot options that it gives are harddrive, CD rom, land and FDD

> Is there anyway you can use the product recovery software if you boot from a USB key?
No, this Toshiba Recovery disk cannot be copied to USB flash memory stick and used for OS installation. Im afraid this would not work.
But if youve got an Microsoft Windows CD you should be able to create an bootable USB flash memory stick. In internet you will find many useful step by step instructions how to create such bootable USB stick.
But booting from USB flash memory stick should be definitely possible since the BIOS supports following bootable devices:
USB FDD, HDD, ODD, Network(LAN), USB Memory

How can i do to recovery Satellite Pro S300

Hi ...
I am Frman From Kurdistan Of Iraq
thanks for this forums to take all outfit .
I want help me for recovery my laptop.
How can i do recovery my laptop toshiba sattelite pro s300 with all driver but i depletion my data in my laptop to recovery.
Can you help me? send me data to recovery .
Thank you

Hello Frman
The whole story is very simple. To learn how to identify and find drivers for your notebook do as follow:
# Go to http://www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails and put X8016403H serial number there. You will see there exact name and model number of your notebook.
# According model name you have US notebook model so go to US support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp
# Click on download and choose Laptops > Satellite Pro > S300-EZ2501
# All stuff you need you can find now.
Please note: recovery image is not downloadable and you will not be able to find it. I presume you don't have original Toshiba disc. So your best option is to install supported operating system using Microsoft installation disc. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find in US Toshiba download section.
If you have more questions please let us know.

Satellite Pro L850-1UJ: How create recovery DVDs from recovery partition

I recently bought a Satellite Pro L850-1UJ with Windows 8
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/laptops/satellite-pro/l850/satellite-pro-l850-1uj/
I've created a new partition (so i could use it as data room)
i.e. C: the windows system AND Z: my data
after that, i could NOT use the RECOVERY MEDIA CREATOR to create the recovery dvds
BUT the partition still exists and i can see the inside files from windows
IS IT a way to extract the files from the recovery partition or any other clue how i could fix the partition scheme so the RECOVERY MEDIA CREATOR could recognize it
Many thanks for your time...

>I've created a new partition (so i could use it as data room)
This was a mistake
The HDD partition table has been modified and changed which means that the Toshiba recover media creator would not find the essential files in order to create the Recovery disk or recovery USB flash memory stick.
What you could try to do is to reset the notebook back to factory settings.
For this you can use the option called Reset your PC.
Details here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
After that the partition table should be set to the same state like at the first day of purchase and you could try to create the recovery disk once again.
Otherwise if this does not help you, the recovery disk could be ordered as mentioned by user xaver

Satellite Pro A300-2CW - Need Recovery disks with Windows XP

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with Software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I have reinstalled it several times during this years, but now the CD has deteriorated and it doesn't work anymore.
Originally the machine had WIndows Vista installed with DVD recovery creation option and a HDD recovery option, but I think this is not possible for Windows XP.
Do I have any options?Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?
Thank you

Hi
You can try to order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
Other way you can install own WXP version. All WXP drivers, tools ad utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

Satellite Pro L20 - Is MS Office is on the recovery disc

Hi,
This is my first time on this forum and I have limited technical knowledge - please be gentle!!
I have a Satellite Pro L20 laptop which is now 4 years old (I got it in Nov 2005).
It has been running extremely slowly over the past year so I removed any software that I no longer use, have backed up any files that I needed to keep and defragmented the hard drive.
I haven't really noticed any difference in the speed, I understand that I can now try to format the hard drive and reinstall windows using the Product Recovery disc.
When I first had the laptop, all I needed to do was press the power button, enter in a couple of passwords and a computer name and it all very nicely loaded with Office 2003 waiting there for me to use!
Could anyone tell me if Office is on the recovery disc?
It says that One Note 2003 is there and I have a code for that, but doesn't mention Word, Excel, Publisher or PowerPoint - these I use daily.
I've looked on the Additional Software disc that also came with the laptop and it doesn't seem to be on there.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello
As Jimi said Microsoft Office is not preinstalled on Toshiba notebooks. Maybe its a trial version but not the full version and One Note 2003 is not the same as Office 2003.
Dont forget that the product key on the bottom side of the notebook belongs to the Windows version and its not for Office because sometimes I can read here that people try to use this key with Office. ;)

How to downgrade to WXP on Satellite Pro A200GE with Toshiba XP Recovery

Hi I have A200GE having preinstalled windows vista business edition and I ordered it with windows xp and an xp recovery dvd came as its of 3.01GB.
I really cannot understand that why it cannot install as when i install a blue screen comes in the end and laptop restarts.
Than i came to know the nlite software and the sata drivers I loaded the sata drivers on another dvd disk separetly as nlite did not recognize my dvd window cd.
But still I loaded the files separetly, now when I loaded that dvd the setup does not start rather a dos command type window opens and I dont know what to do.
Plz anybody help me what canI do of the xp recovery cd which came with my laptop as I am desperate to use it vista is too slow and i cannot tolerate it.
RGRDS
ZAVI

Thanks alot for your reply.
Yes i ordered my laptop with Xp cd which in fact is dvd as its 3.01 GB and yes it is specially made for my notebook ie Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9.
I purchased my laptop from sharptext in ireland.
The problem is that when XP setup is copmpleted and when it restarts a blue screen appears and the laptop restarts coz it does not have the intel matrix storage driver.
Thats funny a cd which is made for my laptop does not work. Furthermore I asked the representative from whome i bought the laptop; he asked from toshiba sales person the person said xp should not be installed coz if the laptop has any kind of hardware failure they wont claim it.
Secondly I am running the Bios of XP on my Vista currently and now also i have tried but of no avail.
Further i have copied the Sata drivers on another disc and copied all the data on recovery cd and made it bootable. Then the setup does not start as command window is opened.
Really doono what to do ohhhh God.
I think the last thing i can do is that buy a new XP cd from microsoft because a p1 with windows 95 is faster than with Vista.
Honestly, what do u say.
Any further help will be appreciated

Which Recovery CD to use with Satellite Pro L20?

We have several Toshiba laptops in use in our company. I need to restore one (a Satellite Pro L20) to factory settings. However, although I have kept all the recovery CDs, most of them have labels which don't mention which model they are meant to be used on. On some of them I wrote the model number on the label by hand, but I haven't done this for the L20. I know from experience that if I get the wrong recovery CD, I'll have to put the dozens of device drivers and utilities on individually, so finding the right one would save me a lot of time and stress.
Each recovery CD has a part number (e.g. GMR400626EN1), so it should be possible to identify the correct CD from this, but I can find no such info on Toshiba's web site.
Is there a list that matches Recovery CD part numbers to laptop models?

Hello
Such info is definitely not available on Toshiba support site. What you can try is to contact authorized service partner in your country. They have access to Toshiba data base and I am pretty sure they can help you.
If you need addresses and phone numbers please check https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com Support & Downloads Find an Asp.
Bye and good luck!
