Satellite U400 - Recovery disk is maybe corrupted

Hi all,
I have my Satellite U400, I created the recovery DVD and I used two or three times to restore my system. But now I tried but always failed during the installation, I think some of the restore files are corrupted and can't be coppied to the computer.
So, now am stuck without my orginal operating system.
Any one can advise what shall I do?
BR

It is really stupid situation now.
Do you use this recovery DVD for the first time?
I mean you have done this recovery media following Toshiba reminder and advice to create one.
If your recovery DVD is useless not I see two options for you:
- Contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and explain the situation. Maybe you will get new and original Toshiba recovery DVD for free. At the end it is not your fault when recovery cannot be read properly.
- Buy new recovery media. You can order it under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Satellite A660-156 - Order status for recovery disk

I buy toshiba recovery from site. Where I can look my order status? I send e-mail to: [email protected]

Hi buddy,

Normally after ordering you get a confirmation email and I think it takes some days until you receive the recovery disk. Maybe you must wait some days more

Windows 7 64 bit recovery disk

Hello,
I bought ThinkPad T510 with 3 Gb of RAM and Windows 7 32 bit Professinal Russian (I'm from Russia).
I'm going to upgrade RAM in my laptop, but I need to change OS from 32 bit to 64 bit. I know that it is legally possible - the license allows to use 32 or 64 bit variant of same version of the OS. Also I found instructions how to make this possible - contact with Lenovo's support.
The only way for me (customer from Russia) is to contact by phone. I talked to support person, ask for recovery disk of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Russian, but I was told that this is not available in Russia. Period. The only way is manually install Windows 7 Professioanl 64 bit Russian from Microsoft's installation media and use my license number for activation.
But what about the whole bunch of dirvers and other software like ThinkVantage? OK. I can download all these software and install it by hand, but what about recovery and restore, what if I will need to reinstall the whole system from scratch?
Lenovo's recovery disks is the fast and simple way to get working system. Because of that I'm looking for oppurtunity to get recovery disk.
Is there other way to obtain recovery disk? Maybe I can purchase it internationally directly from Lenovo? Or may be it is possible to obtain recovery disk electronically (ISO image should be fine for burn my own copy)?
Can any body help with it? At least by suggesting of recommendation?

You don't actually need Rescue and Recovery.
Window 7 have build in backup and restore capaibility and just as good. Complete a fresh window 7 64 bit installation, load the minimum thinkvantage software you need, install your own personal software and then do a system backup to an external disk or DVD discs.

Re: Satellite U400-11Q with Vista has new HDD but no recovery disk

Hi,
Before I start a very important message: I usually don't work with pc...:-) At my work we have an IT-department for our PC's :-))
However, now I have to work privately with a PC/ notebook and I need help: I am sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11Q with a completely newly formatted HDD and unfortunately with NO recovery CD or DVD whatsoever !!
So far I have managed to format the HDD aagain and to put a WindowsVista Home Basic (OEM Software) from my old pc onto this notebook. However, nothing works yet ( I want to get into the Internet etc.)
Therefore I now need to put on all relevant drivers as well as the original TOSHIBA drivers, right ?
How do I do this ? Which drivers to I need ? Do I need to download all relevant drivers (totally 113) one by one from the Toshiba website ?
ANY help is appreciated as I can see myself spending the whole night in front of this PC..
Thanks,
M

Hi Dr.Lamp,
thanks for helping me with listing the drivers as well as giving me a recommendation on the use of Windows 7.
Re Windows 7, unfortunately I only have a "free" VISTA Home Basic at home and therefore I have used this operating system for tonight ! I want to get this PC/ machine running as well as possible as quickly as possible...just unfortunate that its a PC with the need of "thousands of drivers"...
If anyone in cyberspace is interested in reading about my HUGE problems with simply setting up a computer newly, I can at this point simply recommend to you PC fanatics:
Please do put onto the internet decent driver packages to download for somebody like me in a bulk !!! why make life so difficult ? How the hell will I get the right order of driver packages ( which you are listing) on to this PC if I have:
- no idea where to find the drivers you mention ( I have to google every single one of them)
- I have already bought a "recovery DVD from Toshiba, but which takes up to 14 days to arrive and costs about 36 EUR
- I just want to get the computer up and running properly with all licenses legally acquired !
So here I am after about 12 hours of woring on this thing as a newbe:
I have so far this evening managed to firstly install a network driver ( I also had an old VISTA resource DVD at hand) after somehow installing some "recommended network drivers" ( by this recovery DD).
This way I managed to get the wireless LAN connection up and running which is a huge success, because I can now download drivers form INTERNET directly onto the computer.
Currently there is an installation running of Windows VISTA including about 120 updates for this VISTA, so I am busy on these updates...I am nowhere close to the 50% installed mark so I probably will have to get some sleep now and continue tomorrow with you list as well as finding your drivers and installing them in the right order ! What a drag ?! Well, somehow these PC's just cost you TONS of TIME..
Anyway thanks for you help and if you can give me a hint on a shortcut, I would be very happy to hear about it.
Thanks
J(M)

Recovery disks not working for Satellite L350

I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 which I bought some years ago
Originally it was a vista home premium laptop and I opted for the Toshiba windows 7 upgrade and its been pretty much trouble free .
However recently something went a bit weird and things just were not working well (it would not always log you out and never seemed to shutdown correctly) and various other applications did not run correctly.
After a few uninstalls ,reinstalls, scans and Microsoft patches did nothing I decided to take the plunge and use the recovery disk.
I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7 and one again after.
I still have the windows 7 upgrade dvds so I can apply them after if I had to start back on vista again.
The only other big change has been a RAM upgrade to 4gb - I still have the original RAM if I need it but before all this there were no hardware issues reported and chkdsk was fine also.
So to me it was the o/s that was the problem.
I have now tried all the recovery disks and they all have the same problem reporting that imagex cannot uncompress the second file image as it is corrupt at block 90 I dont have this actual message to hand
but can update later.
I cant see that Im doing anything wrong as all i do is put the dvd in the drive and restart the laptop with F12 to boot off the recovery DVD and follow the on screen commands.
Have you any reports of such of this previously or am I doing something stupid?
Thanks

Thats very strange that al recovery discs show the same error message. As far as I know when you start recovery image installation the HDD will be formatted, new partitions created, recovery image copied on second HDD partition and as last step is recovery image installation.
>I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7...
Have you tested both of them in the past?
Generally speaking all you do is right. In my opinion the problem can be recovery image itself or maybe HDD has some failure on certain sectors.
If you can obtain second HDD somewhere exchange it, set BIOS to default settings and test recovery installation again.

Satellite U400-183 - Need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

Hi there,
I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a Win OS DVD that came with my other Notebook from an other manufacture and the Key which came with my Toshiba notebook. Everything worked just fine but in certain areas of Windows still are some specific settings from the other manufacture. Now is there a possibility to get a Windows Vista DVD from Toshiba?
Another question is where I can get the AHCI drivers. There is only a exe file on the support site which i can't use while installing Windows. There have to be these .sys files but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.
THX in advance!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany...

Hi!
A new recovery DVD you can get from your local ASP (authorized service provider).
Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
The AHCI drivers or lets say Intel Storage Manager you can download from the Toshiba website as you already said.
The .exe file you must extract to use it during the installation but with the recovery disk you dont need them.
Please read the readme file in from the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use he command line
For example: -A -A -PC:\<path>

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

Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

Hi
I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
jt

Hi
Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.

Satellite L650-07U (PSK1EC-07U00Q)
This site is for US computers. I doubt you'll get your questions for that Canadian model answered here.
There appear to be two recovery partitions. Maybe one for 32- and one for 64-bit Windows. Or maybe one is for English and the other for French.
Your User's Manual isn't much help either. You probably need to ask Toshiba tech support in Canada.
About all I have to offer is this: Be wary of drives with advanced-format technology. See my message about that.

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.

Satellite M70 - Can't install from recovery disk

Hi,
I had to remove the HDD from Toshiba Satellite M70 to use it on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after creating 2 partions and used it with Compaq Laptop without any problem. Now I got a new HDD for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.
Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.
I have the Product recovery DVD-rom. F12 abd selecting cd/dvd would not do the recovery.
Error loading operating system is the message I get.
I can even install with my other original XP pro cd.
Once I put the HDD back to Compaq its working fine, I can even install XP.
What is the cause. Is it has to do anything with MBR?
I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!
Thank you all,
Regards,

Hi
In my opinion the case is clear. If you can install the notebook with a normal Microsoft installation disk and the HDD works properly in another computer its something wrong with the Toshiba recovery disk, maybe its scratched.
What you can do is to install the notebook using the Microsoft disk. Then download and install all drivers from the Toshiba website.
Alternative you order a new recovery disk from an authorized service provider.
Its your choice what you do. ;)

Satellite U400 - How to get back formatted partition with HDD Recovery

Hello,
I have bought a new Satellite U400 notebook with Vista Home preinstaled on it.
I went throught initial configuration and after it has been done I realised that HDD partitions do not suits my needs.
So I resised the "Vista" partition (acctually I have shrinked it) and made the "Data" partition bigger.
I did not do anything with hidden partition.
Unfortunately when I did this procedure I formated the "Data" partition.
Now when I want to make backup DVD with TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator I got the error message saying that it is not possible because I have formated the "Data" partition.
Are there any suggestion how to solve this error?
The system goes fine, the only thing is that I am not able to backup and restore OS.
Thanks Vecerka

Another possibility besides getting yourself a new copy of recovery DVD is, that you could use 3rd party programs to make an image or backup of your actual system.
I think Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage are good programs, but I only used last named one, so can't tell if Norton tool is equal to Acronis.
And if you do not want to order recovery disc online, you always can visit your local ASP for doing this job for you. ;)
