Sun Virtual Box & Toshiba Satellite L10 - product recovery settings problem

Hi-
I had a problem a while back with my Satellite L10 and was unable to get full recovery settings after installing Sun Virtual Box and ignoring Microsoft warnings.
I suspect this has now cloned my disk. Something is very very wrong. I am using Win 7 beta in the interim but would like my XP back.
My notes to Sun Microsystems are here:
[http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15106 ]
Has anyone had the same experience or what does Toshiba recommend?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi -
Thanks very much for the advice.
It's really strange as the system runs through Win 98 options on booting the product recovery dvd but then gets you to a full & perfect toshiba L10 XP.
I reinstalled XP and went through the process you mentioned above (F8 etc) after installing - at least my safe boot mode options etc. are there.
My guess is that either the disk itself picked up on the cloning or something outside the HDD has been cloned or produced an 'image' of the previous HDD.
If I want to get a new product recovery dvd (as a next step in my investigation) can I download from the net or do I have to order from Toshiba (is this a good course of action?...).
My system can only burn cd's, but I could get someone else to burn a dvd for me if this is possible.
Thanks....

DVD with dual layer on Toshiba Satellite L10?

Hi,
I've bought a Toshiba Satellite L10 recently. How do I know if the DVD burner has got the new dual layer system? It's neither written in the user manual nor on the DVD/ROM drive. There it says: DVD+ReWritable, whereas it says on the DVD I've bought: DVD+R DL. So if there's no "DL" written on my drive does that mean that is does not do dual layer DVDs?
I hope you can help,
Sunflower

Hi,
as far as I know the L10 can have only a CD writer or it has, as Quad says, a DVD Super Multi drive. In your case I think it is the Multi drive, which should be able to use DL.

Uninstalling Sun Virtual Box and Windows 7 from Macbook Pro?

Hi everyone!
Can anyone tell me how to properly UN-install Sun's Virtual Box and Windows 7 Beta from my Macbook Pro so I can reinstall Windows 7 Beta thru Boot Camp?
I recently installed Sun's Virtual Box and Windows 7 Beta on my Macbook Pro. It works fine, but there are some things about Virtual Box I am not happy with. I'm told that uninstalling both Windows 7 and Virtual Box and reinstalling Windows 7 through Boot Camp will be better for what I want and Windows 7 will run much better that way.

Thank you - I really appreciate your response. I did delete the .dmg so I guess I will have to re-download it from Sun and then uninstall it as you suggested.
Maybe you can answer another quick question? I am hearing both YES and NO in regards to being able to install the Windows 7 Beta using Boot Camp. Any problems that you might be aware of?
If you visit our BootCamp forum you will find many users running Win7http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1244
While Win7 is not supported, for many users, that's not important.
When I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit on this MBP, it was not supported and I installed it under Tiger and a beta of BootCamp! It still works. Experimenting is fun and a great learning experience.
Just be sure you have a viable backup - SuperDuper!, CCC or TM before installing BootCamp and Win7 and you always have a path for a recovery should anything go wrong.
Enjoy!

Satellite P200 - Product Recovery Disk 2/2 doesn't work

Hello,
because my laptop (Satellite P200 - I bought it in dec. 2007) didn't work properly anymore - and when after a lot of cleaning up it still didn't work properly - I decided to start from the beginning and restore the operating system with the 2 product recovery cd's/dvd's.
Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
But what abot *Product Recovery Disck2/2*??
At one point the recovery program asks for an 'ADD-ON' but when I put in Product Recovery Disk 2/2 at that moment the program doesn't recognize the disk. During the rest of the recovery program the program doesn't ask for Product Recovery Disk 2/2, so the content of that cd-rom/dvd now isn't loaded on my laptop.
Has anyone had this problem too?
What did you do about it?
Is it a problem not to have loaded the content of Product Recovery Disk 2/2 (can I go without it?)?
Thanks in advance for any reactions!

Hi
> Product Recovery Disk 1/2 worked fine - Windows Vista Home Premium is loaded again on my computer.
I dont know what Add-ons the tool asked for but as far as I know the Toshiba image contains the Vista OS, Toshiba drivers and the additional software.
So if you have recovered the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk 1 then the notebook should be set to the SAME state like at the first day of purchase.
PS: what files can you find on the second disk?

Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320 recovery help!

All the pc does is go to the Toshiba Splash screen, and then a blue screen that says "Recovery your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or can't be accesed. Error code: 0x0000185.
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media contact your system administrator or PC manufactuer." I have tried resetting the firmware and also holding down 0 like Toshiba instructs. However, after I select yes to get into the HDD recovery, the screen flashes white and then goes right back to the same recovery screen no matter what I do. It's very irritating when I can't even get recovery to work -___-. Someone please help me out? I don't have any recovery disks, etc.

To restore your laptop back to it's "ORIGINAL FACTORY SPECS" you must 1st access "Boot Options" on your Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, or similar model & here's what worked for me. Start the laptop while tapping the "F12" key. This will open your boot options menu. At the very bottom of the list is an option called "HDD Recover"...click on it if you want to be able to access your "Advance System Recovery Options" where you'll be given new options allowing you to restore your laptop back to it's original factory specs. Please don't forget to give me "Kudos" by clicking onto my Kudos button next to my post if my solution was able to help you in any way...thanks.~: ) (((A+ Discount Computer Repair, Alb, NM)))

Toshiba Satellite C40T-ASP4268FM Recovery messed up, windows 8 re install

I bought this laptop Toshiba Satellite C40T-ASP4268FM, practically new, plastic protectors still attached. Tried to remove microsoft account by factory reset, because there is no other way to delete one. After that it asked me to check and restore windows and froze on 40% after several attempts I somehow managed to get back on windows, but then after shutdown froze after welcome screen. I decided to install linux,it prompted a message that I could not install it. I tried to go back to windows 8, I have a DVD with an ISO I downloaded from Microsoft page before the release of 8.1, but I can´t install it because is a wrong Key. So I assume It would be the same with windows 8.1. It does not boot a DVD with windows 7, So I pretty much ended up with an expensive paper weight. How can I re install windows 8? I'm Mexican and so is the laptop.

Downloads are here.
The 8.1 ISO is here.

Re: Satellite L10-90 - Time settings are wrong if I start computer the next

Hi, I have Satellite L10-90 with XP Home. Since about one month the time setting is always wrong. I have synchronized the time and it seems to be corrected. But if I start the computer the next day, the time is wrong again. I have found some information in Google. Some people say that the battery on board is already discharged and need to be replayed with a new one.
I don't know what could be the reason. If I need a new battery, where is it on this computer and how to change it?
Help will be appreciated.

Hi
I have did the following tests:
1 Synchronize the time with time.windows.com, the time will be set correctly. The current time will be displayed and the time goes on. Shut down the labtop, wait, turn on the labtop, the time is wrong. The time beginns from the moment at which the labtop shuted down.
2 Synchronize the time with time.nist.gov, the problem is the same as 1.
3 I just have normal DSL, don't connet my labtop to a server.
4 I always use the AC/DC adapter as power supply. Even I shut down the labtop, it is still connected
It seems that if the labtop is off, the time wil stop.
Any ideas?

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.

Tried to restore Toshiba Satellite L300D to factory settings... PLEASE HELP.

MODEL NO: PSLC8C-04401R
Hi guys,
I tried to reset my laptop to factory settings and a whole mess followed. My laptop did not come with recovery discs, and I'm in the process of getting a Vista installation and recovery discs now.
So long story short, I was trying to reset the laptop (which was working perfectly fine) so I could transfer files over from another laptop, which I have on an external hard drive.
After I tried to perform the reset (holding 0 on startup and following the prompts), I got this error right before it finished:
10-FC12-045D click OK to restart.
I click okay, and Vista is gone, everything is gone and I can't get out of BIOS. I tried connecting the external harddrive and booting from that, nothing. Booting from a CD, nothing. Booting from the HDD does nothing. It was working fine before I tried to reset to factory.
Right now on the screen its giving me prompts to insert the Windows installation disc and restart my computer, but I'm already assuming this will do nothing.
Please help, I'm out of ideas. This laptop is meant to be for my mother and I feel bad that I killed it.
-T
EDIT: I just tried the Vista installation disc, and the computer isn't doing anything. It's still giving me the Boot Manager menu telling me to insert the installation disc and restart.
EDIT 2: I started over, tried to run the Vista Recovery CD, and I'm getting this error in BIOS:
Phoenix Phlash16 Error
Could not find BCP DMI block in BIOS ROM file image
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

Hi! I can not find your model number, which can be found on the bottom of your lap top. I think I'm understanding you. You wanted a fresh start of Vista, so you tried to restore back to factory. That failed and now every thing is gone?? I have no clue what happened to the restore process. If it was fine before you tried to restore to factory, I would suggest ordering the Toshiba recovery media and start over. I don't know Vista, but I'm betting you had the option to make your own recovery media. I can only guess that the hidden recovery partition was corrupt. That can happen. I'm assuming you are ordering the recovery media from Toshiba. There may be better replies latter. I have been told I give bad advise, so wait for better replies.
Dokie!
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.
