Tecra M2 - Can I buy a recovery disk?

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Tecra M2, but without a recovery disk.
I can buy an old recovery disk for Tecra M2.
Will it be ok for my laptop, or not ?
( is each recovery disk linked with its original laptop by the serial number or something else? or will it be ok for every Tecra M2 laptop)
Thanks

I am also a little bit skeptic you will get recovery media for this old notebook model but you can contact nearest authorized service provider and ask if they can obtain one copy for you.
I am not so sure you will get it but you can try. In worst case you can install OS using Microsoft installations CD. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find and download from Toshiba support and download page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
Good luck!

Satellite A300-1BZ - Where can I buy a recovery disk?

I've lost the recovery disc that I first created & I'm now up the creak after vista crashed on my. I've managed to reload it but have some serious hardware issues that I'm unable to resolve such as being unable to connect to the internet etc.
Can anybody advise where to purchase a recovery disc please?
Thanks in advance

Hello
Of course you can buy a new recovery disk. Just click on the following link and order a new one:

By the way, you can download all drivers and tools on the Toshiba website if you have installed Windows from a Microsoft disk:

Tecra S10 - Can I order a recovery disk for another language?

Does anybody know how to change the Windows 7 language on a Tecra S10?
Can I just order an Englsih recovery disc from here:
[https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]
If so, what is the price of these discs?
The PC has a license for the preinstalled German Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, and I need it to English.

>

This sounds downright stupid, considering that we have this EU thang nowadays. But somehow, the "wise" peeps at Toshiba Nordic have decided not to import Tecra S10, which is Toshiba's best equipped pro laptop series. Then when I have to buy a brand new one from Germany, I first have to download a 2.4 GB Windows 7 Pro 32-bit ISO-image and burn my own installation disc, (done already). THEN, I have to download 4close to 50 files to get all S10 specific drivers, tools and utils. With bad luck, Windows requires a reboot after every install. :-(
If I just could order an English S10 recovery disc, I wouldn't commit any piracy, and I'll gladly pay some € 30 for it. to save a lot of frustrating work.
I hope that the license number on the bottom of the PC will work for my downloaded installation disc...

I am trying to install Lion on my imac and it says it can't make a recovery disk

I am trying to install lion and receive a message saying it can't make a recovery disk. I am using a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. I do have bootcamp on it, but was never able to install Windows.

What happens when Lion installs is it creates a Lion Recovery Partition at the very bottom area of the drive, this is used to Command R boot into and perform Disk Utility Repairs and reinstall Lion from Apple's servers much like a 10.6 disk will.
So when you ran the Lion installer, it couldn't create this small partiiton, either because the GUID partition table (the map of your paartitions on the drive) is borked or there is data all the way to the bottom of the drive or OS X thinks there is.
You set up the bootcamp parittion, so run that and delete the Bootcamp partition as your not using it or Windows, once it's finished reboot and try installing Lion again.
I should warn you, Lion will not run your Rosetta based software or hardware drivers for external hardware, you may have to purchase all new versions. Not only that, hardware drivers may not be available for 10.7 thus rendering your third party printers, scanners etc useless.
Before you install Lion, you should consult this web page
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
to see if your current programs will break and when to expect a new version (likely paid)
Also you shoudl check your hardware and the makers site if there is a 10.7 compatible driver/software for them.
And once you think your ready to go to Lion, get a blank external powered drive and a free/donationware copy of Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your present (non-Filevault) 10.6 boot drive to the external drive.
Later if 10.7 doesn't work for you, simply hold the option key and boot off the 10.6 clone, use Disk Utility to Erase the entire drive (the whole drive!) and reverse clone 10.6 back onto the internal drive.

How can I get a recovery disk for Satellite P300-1CI?

Hi everybody,
first, sorry for my english, I'm a belgian and I speak french.
Yesterday I bought a toshiba Satellite P300-1CI, when I started, I must installed Vista home.
I would like to format my disk and reinstall my old Windows XP.
My question is : How can keep an image disk with Vista? I don't have an installation disk of Vista and don't know my registration key of it.
How can I have a recovery disk ?
Can you help me please.
PS : Sorry for my english

Hi mate
User manual is really interesting document and in most cases it answer all you questions ;)
Anyway, the Toshiba recovery disk should be created before you would format and install on the HDD.
You have to use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator application in order to create the Recovery DVD.
Now to you other question;
The Vista image which is preinstalled and placed on the Recovery disk (after recovery disk has been created) is activated already and you dont need to insert any keys or activate anything.

You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

Satellite M300 - Where can I get a recovery disk?

I have Satellite M300 and I need the recovery disc. My microsoft system crashed and I need to do a recovery.
Can you help?

Hey mate,
You can get a new recovery disk from an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest so please check this!!!
Alternative you install Windows from a Microsoft disk and then you can download all drivers on the Toshiba page. Then you have factory settings back too but its more complicated as the Toshiba disk.

Satellite A300-1mz Can I use the recovery disks after a HDD upgrade?

I'm upgrading the hard drive of my *toshiba a300-1mz*, but I'd be sure that I can use the *recovery disks* maked at the first boots for the s.o. (vista)
I expect your support...
thank you very much...

> how can I be sure that the disk is properly recognized before I buy it???
What do you mean exactly? Did you mean the HDD???
The A300 supports and 2.5 SATA HDD and all 2.5 HDD should be recognized properly since the SATA HDD controller hasnt any limitations.

Can I Create The Recovery Disk(s) From The Recovery Partition? Can I Copy The Partition?

I searched the forums to find an answer to this question, but was unable to find one. It seems to me that it might be useful info for others trying to create Recovery CD/DVDs from a failed hard drive that still has an accessible Recovery Partition so hopefully we can figure out a solution. :-)
I have a Pavilion dv9408ca (Vista Home) with a hard drive that won't boot. I removed the hard drive and was able to read it on another system. I was also able to to create a Virtual Machine and run it so I recovered all the important data. I installed it in an external drive case and tried to boot from it but I wasn't able to access the Recovery Partition (F11 option didn't show and didn't work), and Windows wouldn't load.
It's possible that the controller is the problem so I don't want to buy another hard drive yet. I would like to format the original hard drive and create a 'factory' system but I don't have Recovery CD/DVDs. I cannot create the Recovery CD/DVDs using the Virutal Machine (I presume it's because it's not running on an HP).
The dv9408ca can boot form the DVD drive (ran UBCD, etc. and they booted fine).
Can I copy the Recovery Partition and make a bootable set of CD/DVDs by using some other program or copying the files/folders? I have CD/DVD burning software (Nero) that can create bootable CD/DVDs. Or can I use the Virtual Machine to run a program that will do this without using the HP Recovery Manager software in Windows?
Or... Can I create a set of Recovery CDs from another Pavilion Notebook (different model but same Vista OS) and use those to format/recover the dv9408ca system?
Thank you for your help with this problem.

This is only option which might work for you provided the product number of other laptop matches with your existing system Else you can order a set of recovery disk for your Notebook(dv9408ca) from here for a nominal charge.

Satellite A215 - Where can I get a recovery disk?

I had my laptop formatted about two weeks ago, unfortunately they did it in Spanish (I'm living in Mexico at the moment).
I've been looking for the recovery disk to restore my laptop to the way it was when I bought it. I lost mine and I'm in real need of this/these disk(s). Does anyone know where I can buy them? Or can anyone give any other suggestion?
I'd very much appreciate it.

Hi!
I think you should contact an authorized service provider and ask for a recovery disk. If its possible to do this, they can tell you how to do this.

Hi
Why do you dont contact the nearest authorized service provider? They should be able to order a new recovery disk for you.
Maybe they have one in stock and you directly have it if you buy a coffee or so ;)

From where can I get the Recovery Disk for Satellite P200-113

Other way contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. They can order it for you.

Equium A100-338 - Do I have to buy a recovery disk?

Hi,
I have a bit of a dilemma. The vista sticker on my Toshiba Equium A100-338 has worn out (was like that when I bought it). I upgraded my hard drive, installed Windows 7, then gave my old one away (forgetting it had the recovery partition on it). I want to sell the laptop so returning to its original state would be ideal.
Toshiba said I must buy a recovery disc for 29.90, which is ridiculous. Can anyone else help me?
Laptop details: Toshiba Equium A100-338 PSAAQE-006008AV
Cheers

Hi!
If you want the factory settings back as the first time you started the notebook you have to buy a Toshiba recovery disk. This disk contains an image of the factory settings and so you can install the notebook in few minutes with all Toshiba drivers and tools.
But I dont understand why this is ridiculous for you. I mean normally you get on Toshiba notebook with Vista after the first start a message that you should burn the recovery disk yourself. This takes only 10 minutes and you need only one or two DVD disks. I did this on my Toshiba notebook and I think you should take 10 minutes from your free time to do this too.
However, nobody says that you have to buy the disk because you can also use a Microsoft disk and download the Toshiba stuff on the Toshiba page but therefore you need a lot of more time.

OS 10.8.5 update failed, now can't get past recovery disk

I ran the latest OS10.8.5 update on an old iMac (circa 2009) and left the computer while it was running. When I returned there was a message saying the update could not be installed, and a prompt to restart the iMac. On restart it went straight to recovery mode. Disk Utility fixed several permission problems, which seemed to be iTunes related, but Verify/Repair Disk showed no issues with the hard drive (500Gb, with about 64Gb available). When I try to reinstall the OS I get past the Apple ID log-in prompts and the installation begins, but then it just returns to the recovery screen after a few minutes. Finally, I tried to return to the pre-update posotion via Time Machine, but an error came up saying something like "Time Machine can't access your hard drive." Each reboot just returns me to the recovery disk. I'd be grateful for any suggestions as this is looking rather scary. Thanks

The boot drive is failing, or you have some other hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
