Your model does not have the recovery partition. If you no longer have the discs that accompanied the computer, order them from Toshiba.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media

That's good. Hope things continue to work out for you. And don't forget to install a GOOD Anti Virus Program to avoid this happening again. The FREE version of AVG does NOT qualify as it offers no REAL TIME Protection. Try Avast Home Free or Avira Free which offer actual Real Time Protection.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Troubleshooting System Recovery Problems

A System Recovery is a useful tool to return your Windows 8 tablet back to factory defaults. However, what do you do when the System Recovery isn't working!?
A full System Recovery can be a lengthy process as there is a lot of data being transferred. Patience is the key, as a full Recovery can take two to four hours to complete.
For more information check out HP's Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems for Windows 8. This document will help you get your Windows 8 tablet back up and running.
TIP: If you are planning on using the System Recovery make sure that you do not change or delete the HP Recovery Partition as that will make all but impossible to Restore your tablet using the HP Recovery Manager.

Toshiba L675 Recovery Problem

I have a Toshiba L675-S7048 and have tried restoring the unit to "Out of Box" state. When I received the laptop about 1 year ago, I immediately created recovery dvds. I used those Dvds two times and the recovery process does not seem to complete itself. It appears I do not receive the Windows 7 Setup screen where I enter my name, time zone, etc. I do receive a syspro box that when I click on it, it comes as an error. So I have recently tried holding down the 0 key and recovering the unit using the partition recovery system. Same thing. I contacted Toshiba and the first person wanted to charge me $50. I spoke with someone else who didn't seem to know what they were doing and told me to unplug the battery and do a recover again, so I am doing that. Something tells me I am going to get the same thing. I think it seems that the original recovery parition that was put on this laptop was defective, and of course, Toshiba wants to charge me $29.95 to have a new recovery dvd mailed to me. It seems very unfair because the problem was put on this laptop from the factory and therefore you would think, Toshiba would send me a new recovery dvd because they realized they messed up. Just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problems and if so, did you find anything that fixed the issue. Thanks.

I have some help if you might need it. First of all,Tech Support does not exist. Any time you give them a call, you will get someone that has no clue about Computers.So, when it comes time to buy extended sevice, don't buy it.
If you have AOL as an ISP, they will fix your computer free when you subscribe to thier $17.50 package. You only have to register your laptop with them and if you ever have a problem, contact them.
Also if you have Direct TV sattelite service, they also have a repair service for any electronics that you own.
As for recovery of your laptop, do a restart and when the screen goes black,hold the number 0 down, and be sure that all things pluged into you laptop are un-pluged. It will prompt you to full out of box recovery.
I hope that I have answered some of your questions that you have asked. I've been a comp tech for many years and I build full systems and do company programing. I'm on this forum often, when I see a problem, I will try to help.

The computer freezes up randomly..
..with the recovery factory disk, bringing the computer to the original configuration (out of the box state) (Problem not solved)
If it happens just after restoring the hard disk to its original contents, then it's surely due to a hardware malfunction.
Test the memory.
How do I know if my computer has a memory problem?

The message means that your internal hard has been damaged. This message always comes up when the file system is corrupted. I suggest to remove it, connect the hard drive into a different computer as an external drive (use usb caddy), perform a backup if possible and the format the hard drive and restore the factory settings. I'm afraid that you have to reformat the hard drive, a checkdisk scan won't help..
The error message means that the Boot Sector is corrupt or has been damaged. It does not mean that the hard disk is damaged.
This is a fixable issue. There are a few command line tools that can be used.
You will need to make an appropriate version (32-bit / 64-bit) of the Windows 7 repair disc from a working Windows 7 installation. You will need either a USB or CD to create your rapair CD/USB. Follow the instructions on this video to create the repair installation of your choice..You will will be using the manual boot sector repair that is described in this video to repair your Windows 7 Boot sector. Use the Windows 7 repair disc or repair USB thumb drive that you created earlier to accomplish the repair.

Recovery Problem

I have a Dell Latitude X200 laptop (with Windows XP Pro) and a Zire 31. My use of the Zire is restricted to its Calendar and Contacts features. On April 29 the Palm data on the Dell was seriously corrupted. The Zire has not been HotSynced for over a month. BUT, by using the “Export” option in the Zire’s Calendar and Contacts sections, I had saved those two datasets to a flash drive on April 27. I want to: 1) Remove all present data from the Dell and the Zire. 2) Copy the saved Calendar and Contacts data from the flash drive into the Dell. 3) Perform a “HotSync” to copy the correct data in the Dell into the Zire. Is there any hope that I can get my April 27 data back into the Dell where it belongs, and then into the Zire?

A couple of things:
Reset system bios to the defaults - F2 at start up to enter the bios f9 to set to defaults and then f10 to save.
then try to start.
Did you have any problems before trying to recover, slow or lagging response, etc. These problems can be caused by virus/maleware and also a failing hard drive.
The recovery may not be completing because of bad sectors on the drive - a failing hard drive.

Mac OS recovery problem. Need help

Hello toevery one.
I have defective SATA cable to HD bay now. And also new clean SDD Samsung 840 Pro 240 GB (without data or any OS on it) installed in HD bay
I've ordered a new cable, but I'd like to use the SSD untill then, if it was possible so I decided to change my HDD (that on working properly SATA cable) and SDD (that on defective SATA cable) in places and restore Mac OS via external HDD with Time Machine image on faster SSD. So now my new SSD on the optical drive bay with working properly SATA cable and HDD on HD bay with defective SATA cable.
And I faced a problem...
1. I've made configuration of SSD and erased the contents of the SSD and formated it as "Mac O S Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition.
2. I chose the most fresh Image on my HDD that has been prepared in advance and started to wait.
3. The recovery of the system froze on 0,5% and estimated time started to rapidly increase. I've cancelled it when estimated time of full recovery was about 24 hours. System hanged and I turned it off by pressing POWER button.
4. I repeated all the operations again.
5. The recovery froze on 3,8% and estimated time started to grow up again.
6. I've took a look on log file and saw that some host can't be reached or found.
Do you know what is the problem?
Thank you!

Corrections:
1. SDD Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB
2. Mac OS Lion

USB Recovery problem

I received my USB Recovery device. I followed directions of turning off computer, inserting USB, Hit escape, then I get the startup Menu. When I hit F9 as instructed, I get a Blue Recovery screen that says
Your PC needs to be repaired
The boot configuration data is missing some required information
File:\BCD
Error code: 0xc0000034
I can not get past this point. Any help please!!

Hi McCarterRN.
Did you order a USB recovery stick from HP?
Are you testing the USB recovery device or is your PC unbootable?
If your PC is functioning correctly you can, for additional peace of mind, create DVD or USB recovery media by using HP's Recovery Manager. I cannot direct you to instructions on creating recovery media as I do not know your product number and factory installed operating system (OS). If you have upgraded your OS this will present additional obstacles.
Please provide the factory and current operating system you are using. Please provide your HP product number.
HP product number instructions can be found here.

TOSHIBA NB550D-111 Recovery problem due to swm error

I own a NB550D-111 (preinstalled W7 Starter SP1 32 bit, av Security Essentials), used mainly for browsing, chat and Skype. Following the july updates, the OS began greeting me with blue screen at every start. I choosed "Startup repair", and after some 20 minutes and one restart, the OS was up and running. The next restart, the same scenario. Every time I ran "Startup repair", sometimes 3 or 4 times to get the system working.
I did a System Restore, but no luck. Still the same blue screen at startup. I ran Check Disc at startup from Command Prompt with /F and /R switches, no errors found. After four days, Startup Repair was unable to solve the blue screen even if I spent almost 4 hours restarting and either choosing Startup Repair or do System Restore.
I went to Restore Factory Settings OS from the recovery partition. I wanted to keep My Documents folder, I changed the location to the second partition). Imagex gave an error at 70% applying the image (a .ttc file that cannot be copied), and after reboot BOOTMGR was missing. I used the usb recovery stick made shortly after I bought the netbook using Toshiba Recovery media creator, wich wiped clean the HDD (eventually lost my files, that's it), re-partitioned and copied the .swm files in the HDDRecovery folder. When applying the image to C: partition, Imagex also gave an error at 70%, the same ttc file.
I installed a clean copy of Starter, installed SP1 and updates and activated online using the serial number from the COA sticker. At first the newly installed OS was incredibly fast (I have only the drivers and Flash Cards installed, no other application from Toshiba), but after the SP1 update the boot time trippled. From my previous experiences with Windows XP, a slipstreamed SP installation of Windows behaves better than one updated with windows update. I'm thinking of a way to reinstall the Toshiba Windows, even full of bloatware as it is, then stop the programs I don't use trough msconfig and services.msc (just as I did in when I bought the netbook).

Update:
I installed WAIK and the supplement for SP1 of Windows 7.
I got errors when saving the modified wim. I needed to change permissions and owner (Trusted Installer) in the Windows folder, and after copying the files restore old permissions. The modified wim was saved but at unmount left behind in exactly the folders I tangled with in Windows folder. The other modified folders were saved with no problems.
So, I tried a modified metod 1:
Downloaded 7-zip portable, expanded and ran once in a folder on the second partition (D:) of the HDD.
Created an USB bootable stick with WinRE image found in the HDDRecovery tools.
Booted from USB, started 7-Zip from command prompt. Opened the SWM file and copied all the files in the second folder to the C: partition. Using 7-Zip as a file manager, I replaced the corrupted files with their good variants stored also on the second partition. This time no problems, all files copied ok, no need to change permissions.
Rebooted from HDD, BOOTMGR missing. Booted from USB, the instalation was found and repaired (in two stages). After another reboot from HDD, I was greeted with the "Preparing your computer for the first use". The factory installation took more than 2.5 hours (installation of drivers in the sysprep phase was very slow), instead of a half hour for a clean installation. At the end of sysprep (just before OOBE phase), after reboot BOOTMGR missing, resolved again as indicated earlier.
It took another 3 hours to uninstall bundled Nero, McAfee and Windows Live +applying updates and installing usual programs.
Hope this will help someone in the same situation.
Regards,
Bogdan

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

Internet recovery problem

Hello,
when I turn on my MacBook Pro, a folder with a question mark appears and does not stop blinking. After some research, I tried a few methods to resolve the issue. No matter what buttons I press and hold, it takes me to internet recovery. I attached the ethernet cable to my MacBook (it's faster) and everything was running smoothly - there was a spinning globe and a loading progress bar with a time. My problem is that once the bar loads, the screen goes blank grey and nothing happens. I'm told that utilities is supposed to load.
Can anyone provide me with any suggestions? I am running out of time and do not know how long it would take for my MacBook to get serviced.
My MacBook ran on Lion and was the mid 2012 edition.

Start the MBP with the OPTION key down. The display should show the internal HDD icon and the recovery partition. Click on the recovery partition and there will be a 4 option menu. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
If successful, restart the MBP. If not, then you will need a new HDD.
Ciao.
