System Restore problem on Satellite C660-115

Hello everyone,
The Satellite C660-115 my niece has a problem and I would like to make it serviceable for his Christmas.
Turning on the computer's voltage giving as final result the message: * Can not find the operating system will ", so I tried System Restore by first pressing the 0 key, and after many tests, changing the order of the boot and the other (with F2 or F12) ... But there was nothing.
From there, I realized that I could not go further without original recovery DVD from Toshiba. So I ordered last Saturday and got today Thursday. After as indicated by Toshiba (boot sequence beginning on CD drive), the system begins to upload (Windows is loading files ...) and then propose, on a nice table, the available languages, and choose .. .dropoff window
If, until then, everything seemed to unfold as it should, that's that clicking the "next" button to validate my choice of language an error message appears in a dialog box named RecoGUI:
ERROR:. IOCTL_GET_DISK_LENGTH _INFO \\ \ PHYSICALDRIVE0 The device is not ready.
When I press OK, then it is in French:
The hard disk # 0 is not available or incorrect RAID configuration!
I still presses OK (I do not have much choice) and then present the following window restoration that requires me to validate the language of the operating system to install ... French (Windows Win 7)
and states: The current size of restoration is to: Expert Mode
Again, I click OK and a warning box warns me that: All hard drives will be completely erased. Would you like to continue?
OK ... and cmd prompt appears that says (in short)
Checking for Drive V: V Drive not mounted ...
Ckecking for Drive C: ... C: unmounted!
ending with: ERROR Copying of Recovery Base files failed!
Press any key to continue (if I do, I find the Toshiba screen, and another cmd prompt that says so;
Waiting for ODD To Become available ...
ODD Drive D: ready.
Check for medium in Drive D; ...
Continue ...
Drvload: Successfully loaded X: \ Windows \ inf \ battery.inf.
No RAID - Normally continues ...
Installation in progress ...
Press any key to continue ... which, if I do, then placed below:
X: \ Windows \ system32>
That's where I stayed, because I always come back to the same.
Could someone be kind enough to help me solve this problem?
A big thank you in advance ...

From my point of few we should consider two possible issues.
1) faulty image on the new recovery disk
2) problem with HDD as well as the partitions
In my opinion you should check the HDD firstly.
You can run some tests, for example you could try to install the Windows system using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (image)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit image can be downloaded here:
http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65733/X15-65733.iso
But of course, you will not be able to activate this system without a valid serial key
So you can use this image just for testing purposes.
In case the image installation would run flawlessly, your recovery installation problem might be related to the faulty recovery media.
In such case you should try to contact the recovery media provider in order to get another, new good working media.

Re: Satellite C660-115 Very strange Wifi problems!

I've been busy solving a wireless problem on a C660-115, still without success.
Satellite C660-115
Windows 7 - 64Bits
The case:
- Laptop is connected to the power supply: Wifi works fine, no problems
- Laptop disconnected from power supply: Wifi won't work, although there sometimes seems to be a connection with the access point/wifi router.
No internet/network communication
- Laptop connected to the power supply --> wifi works, unplugging the power supply --> after a 1/2 minute or so, no internet connection...
I tried to find a new driver, but we already use the latest version.
Then i switched off the "This computer may switch of this device to save energy" function, without succes.
Ideas anyone?

I had same problem with C660 running windows 7 losing internet access but not network connection whilst using battery power, but no problems when connected to mains power.

Vista shutdown/system restore problem

My wife has an A135-4427 laptop that will not completely shutdown. The shutdown will log off any users and display the screen that says "Shutting Down", but doesn't turn of the system. We have to hold down the power button to completely turn off the system. Doing a restart will shutdown to the same point, but never restart. Again we have to manually turn off the system and then power up to restart. Tried executing shutdown.exe from the command line and got the same results. Also tried resetting the Start Menu shutdown from sleep to shutdown and that didn't have any effect either. This was just an inconvenience until recently when she started having issues with some of our secure web accounts.
I attempted to do a system restore to an earlier restore point to see if that would correct her problem. System Restore completes, but, when it attempts to restart the system, the shutdown hangs as described above. When I turn off and restart the system manually, the system comes up, but a screen appears indicating an unexplained error occurred with System Restore and the system was returned to it's previous settings. Any help would be appreciated.

Satellite C660-115 WLan connection only works when power cable is connected

Hello,
I bought a satelite C660-115 a few weeks ago. I would like to surf the internet anywhere in my home without any wires/cables.
From the first day I had this problem: when I disconnect the _power_ cable, the wireless connection will stop working.
The webpage on my screen will still be there, but loading a new page is a problem.
Sometimes it helps to reload (pressing F5), sometimes not. It always helps to "repair the ip-adress", but not for long.
The only solution is to atach the power cable, regardless of how much power the battery still has.
When I do so,there is no problem whith the connection at all.
I went back to the shop where I bought it, they connected to their own wireless network and they had the same problem after a few minutes. In the shop too attaching the power cable solved the problem.
So the problem must be in my lap top, not in my network (modem or so).
Does this all sound familliar and if so, how can I fix it?
I hope my English is understandable, I live in Holland.
Thanx in advance!

BIOS update problem with satellite C660

I have a satellite C660, and was sent a ' ''BIOS update C660 Version 1.80'', but when I try and install it this message comes up:
''THE PROGEAM WILL BE CLOSED
There is an erroroccured,please check the below items.
BIOS version above 180
Battery capacity more than 10%
AC is attached''
The AC is attached and there is also plenty of battery power, so what more can I do ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Please post your full model number found on the bottom of your lap top. Does any one ever read any of the messages posted before posting a new message??
Dokie!!
IMHO if your not having a problem, you don't need to up date the BIOS. That is a very serious procedure and can end in a bricked PC if not done exactly right.

System restore problems

This morning .. . .went to computer woke it up fine
then error messages in the bottom left hand corner saying that this file and that file were corrupted - this was the yellow trianage message.
Then that the "all users file" in documents and settings was corrupt.
So did a system restore to one day last week - when i knew all was well. This was successful but when the thing started again lots of software files were missing, internet dial up connection, and the all programs menu was one fifth the size it was before - lots of things gone like under:
all programs
accessories
system tools - gone
I then tried to reserve the system restore and this did not work - reported that it had failed. So tried to do a system restore as I left to yesterday. Otherwise what do i do?
The file with all your software is still on there but it's reinstalling the dial up connection etc.
All advice appreciated

Hi
As far as I know the system restore tool roll back the OS to the early point and all the files.
If you have installed files or have changed some settings after the restore point, all this things will be removed after using the system restore tool.
A similar issue was happened to me. I have saved a lot of files on second partition and after using the system restore tool all these files and data which was created after restore point was removed.
There is nothing to do
If you use the tool from time to time you should create more restore points.

System Restore Problem - Time Machine

Hello,
I erased my hard drive (after backing everything up, of course) to try to fix some problems I was having with general functionality. When I tried restoring my hard drive from Time Machine I was prompted with two backups to restore from. One was about 90GB and the other was about 60GB. So, naturally I chose the larger of the two.
The problem is that I think the backup was from October 2008 when I actually started backing up far before that (September 2007). Assuming I am correct, does this mean that I have lost everything from before October 2008? For example, since I have a small hard drive (110GB), and I have a lot of files (photos, videos, songs, etc.), I have to continuously backup, then delete files that I don't necessarily need on my internal hard drive. So, if I ever need to go back and restore them, I usually can with Time Machine.
But, since this recent recovery of my entire hard drive, I feel I have lost all the information prior to that October 2008 backup. Or does it mean that anything after October 2008 I lost? Does this make sense? I am still having a hard time understanding what it means to restore databases from a specific time.
Any advice would be most helpful!
Thank you!

Was this before or after the hardware repair mentioned in your other post?

Do NOT depend on this. Time Machine is NOT like most "archival" backup systems. If you delete a file from your internal HD, TM will, eventually, delete it's copy. Depending on the circumstances, that may be in as little as 25 hours, or it may be months later.
One of TM's big advantages is, it will manage both it's space and backups for you, automatically. But that means, if you want to remove old files from your internal and archive them, you need to do it another way.

Does this make sense? I am still having a hard time understanding what it means to restore databases from a specific time.
Again, TM is a bit different from other backup systems. If you restored from the most recent backup of your current set of backups (not one of the previous backup sets in your other post), then you should have everything.
For your current set of backups, assume you have the following:
Full backup as of Monday
Incremental backup as of Tuesday
Incremental backup as of Wednesday
If you restore from Wednesday's backup, you get everything: Monday's full backup, plus Tuesday's changes, plus Wednesday's changes.
If you restore from Tuesday's backup, you get Monday's full backup plus Tuesday's changes.

System Restore Problem

Dear All:
The system is CRM5.0 Unicode based on JAVA+ABAP stack. When we get
the backup files, it contains DB files (SQL Server detach files)
and whole copy of \usr\sap\<SID> folder (including DVEBMGS51,
SCS50, SYS). And we also get the info that the source system is
Windows + MSSQL.
We tried to use Homogeneous system copy method to restore. The DB can
successfully attached.
We tried to select: Target System -> System Copy-> Java + ABAP
but we don't have the Java Export file.
We tried to select: Target System -> System Copy-> ABAP,
in step: CreateStdSchema, report error.
Here we are wondering if we still have chance to restore the system
with those files, maybe partial is OK, such as only ABAP part.
You help or any info will be highly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
D.H

You can restore the DB files if you have a full offline/online (+transaction logs) backup of the DB...
Can you provide detailed info on how the backup was taken?...
Regards

BT connectivity problem with Satellite C660-173

I would like to know how can i configure Bluetooth on my computer

Satellite C660 - How to change from 32 bit to 64 bit operating system?

Can some one please tell me how to change from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system for my Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook?
No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
Thanks in advance

>No cds came with my notebook so I can't restore.
In user manual you could find a info that recovery disk needs to be created using preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media (disk) Creator
>I installed the 32 bit when setting up by mistake and would now like to change.
The Toshiba image of some notebook models contains the Win 7 32bit and 64bit system.
Not sure if your image supports both versions so cannot say for sure if you would be able to switch to 64bit but try this:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
During HDD recovery procedure you should be asked what version you want to chooseof course if both versions would be available so check thisotherwise you will need to purchase an 64bit version.

Trying to do a System Restore with No Luck :(

I'm trying to do a system restore on my Satellite L455-S5975 following the directions in the actual user's guide here...
Satellite L450 Series User’s Guide
I'm starting on page 60 and trying to do the "Recover to out-of-box state" ....Following these directions I continued on to the next step...."See “Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)” on page 61." I made sure to follow all the directions before beginning this next step...."To recover the original factory image using the utilities on your
computer’s internal storage drive:
1 Make sure the computer is turned off.
2 Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while
powering on the computer.
3 If your system offers a choice of Windows® 7 32-bit or 64-bit
operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 4."
I was holding down that zero key what seemed like forever....I never got the screen with a choice of Windows and so I continued holding down that zero key and finally the screen had cleared (gone grey like) but I still was holding down that zero key...Now in step 4 it says..."4 A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Yes to continue."
(Sample Image) Warning screen
Even with me holding down that zero key I never got to this screen. So I shut down the laptop and let it sit for about 5 min.. and then I tried it again and when I was still holding the zero key and the screen had finally cleared (gone grey like) I took my finger off that zero key this time hoping that the Warning Screen would come up....But the only thing that happened was Windows started and I had to shut it down again.. After 5 min I took the battery pack out and let it sit for about an hour and then I put it back in and plugged it back into the AC and tried this again.....and I got the same thing as before. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong and hoping someone can help me get past this step please..
Thank You

How do I restore System Restore?

How do I restore System Restore? I am running Firefox 17.0 on Windows XP SP3.

The pop-up asking if I wanted to upgrade to FF 17.0 had a link to a warning that it might disable System Restore. I clicked “No” for the update not wanting to lose System Restore but 17.0 somehow loaded anyway. Since Mozilla techs knew that 17.0 could cause System Restore problems, I am hoping they will know how to fix them.

Will a System Restore cause me to loose edits

I've edited a lot of my landscape photos in lightroom and I'm having computer issues.
The tech wants me to do a system restore and I'm worried I'll loose all my edits.
Is there anyway to prevent loosing the edits for when I re install lightroom?
Other advice?

This will not happen. A system restore does not affect your data, whether it is Lightroom or some other program (Word, Excel).
Now just to be 100% clear, if the tech want to wipe your hard drive and reinstall your operating system, that's different ... you don't want to do that without first making backups of all of your data.
Which brings up the question ... do you have backups of all of your photos and your catalog file? Sounds like you don't, otherwise you wouldn't be worried right now. In my opinion, making these backups on a regular and automated basis is MANDATORY, and you need to begin doing this, as soon as this system restore problem is resolved, and no excuses.

Problems trying to do a system restore

I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4717 laptop. My touchpad mouse is only working intermittently. I have updated all the drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled the mouse, nothing is working. The tech support people tell me it's not a hardware problem since it does work occasionally, and that my best option is a full system restore with the restore discs. I don't have my restore discs.
I am trying to restore the system from the computer's hard-drive. I've tried following the directions, but the computer asks for an admin password before I can proceed past the first screen and I don't have that. Is there a way to fix that?
Also, is there a screenshot tutorial on how to restore the system? Because the instructions given on this website do not match what is appearing on my computer screen.

Satellite A215-S4717
See the section Hard Drive Recovery Utilities starting on p. 57 of the User's Guide.

If your model does not have those, then you will need to order recovery discs.

Problems with system restore points in Win 8.1 (keep increasing in size)

Hi,
I was sent here by Microsoft Support who seem to have no idea of the mechanics of System Restore and what could interfere with it. I've no idea where to post this, so I hope you can help in that.
I have the problem that my System Restore point (only a single point) keeps increasing rapidly in size from a few Mb to many Gb and even fills the C drive if I don't stop it. Setting a limit to the size doesn't help (in System Restore or VSS), as it ignores
it and increases the limit. I have tried all the usual (sfc, DISM, chkdsk, several antivirus and malware programs) with no success.
Obviously, I can turn off System Restore, but that isn't really something I want to do.

When you say "system backup", do you mean generation of system restore points or an actual backup? i don't use MSBackup.
Hi,
What I meant system backup is system backup feature that it would create restore point when you enable system backup automatically.
I made a test in our testing enviroment. limit restore point disk space usage to minize, create some restore point. When I create a seconde restore point, it would replace the former time point. The maxize disk space usage won't more than the limiation.
Therefore, please check the size of Restore Point in C:\System Volume Information if it's larger than system limiation.
