Toshiba HDD recovery not working

I want to do HDD recovery from Windows 10, I have put all my files on other partitions, I hoped to see & do "Recover without changing the hard drive partitions" but when I turned my PC on while holding 0, It didn't open any TOSHIBA hdd recovery software...This is how it looks and option  - system image recovery requests that I use windows installation DVD .... BTW I have recovery partition in this computer: I just got into Boot Menu while pressing F12 during start-up, clicked on HDD recovery, it asked YES/NO, I pressed Yes, but it just went to this screen again - http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/file/res...File_23358.jpg My PC is kind of ruined right now after restarting... my primary system boot partition is now as RAW file system, I don't know how this happened. But at least I still got my backup partition still on this HDD(I'm seeing this on advanced options>cmd>diskpart). Boot menu > HDD recovery just goes to that windows advanced Options page. If HDD recovery worked, everything would be ok, because it could recover only C partition. But now i can't even boot it into windows where i could make recovery dvd's, but I don't know if I could use them because toshiba recovery mode is not working.. Can anyone help? this is really important.

It didn't open any TOSHIBA hdd recovery software...
The Choose-an-option screen is the recovery environment for Windows 8/10. Get used to it.
I have put all my files on other partitions
Best to put them on external media, of course.
We can't go any further until you disclose which computer you have. There is a label on the bottom.
If the machine did not come with Windows 10 installed, we need to know much more about what sort of upgrade you did.

  • Satellite L650-12Q - Toshiba HDD Recovery not working

    Toshiba Satellite L650-12Q
    Windows 7 64bit
    I am attempting to re-install Windows using the Toshiba HDD Recovery software on my hard disc in order to restore the computer to factory settings.
    I followed the procedure to do this in System Recovery Options, but received the following message:
    "The recovery of the operating system is impossible!
    Could not find HDD Recovery folder on second drive of the first hard disk. There is no valid HDD Recovery environment on this computer."
    Further details:
    Prior to doing the above, I backed up the system and files and folders using AOMEI Backupper. I then made the mistake of merging partitions C: D: and E:, E: contained the HDDR files.
    After trying the above recovery and receiving the message above, I re-installed the system file I had backed up to an external hard disc, which resulted in a copy of C: drive and E: drive containing the HDDR files.
    Unfortunately, when I tried to recover the OS, the same message appeared.
    I then tried to use a System Restore disc I had created a few weeks ago, but found that for some reason that CD is blank.
    The good news is that the computer still works - slowly - and the HDDR files appear to be still there but, for some reason, inaccessible.
    What are my options? I want to go back to initial factory settings so that I can start afresh and re-install the programmes and files that I want. (I have backed up all my files and have installation discs for programmes.)
    If the worst comes to the worst and I have to buy a Windows 7 disc (if that is still possible - I don't want Windows 8), would it be possible to install that on to this computer and would it give me a clean install without any of the rubbish that is presently cluttering up my computer?
    Thank you for reading, and I should be grateful for any advice you can offer.

    Thanks for your help.
    I have since found some recovery discs (3x DVD-R) that I created on 18 July 2010, when I first bought the laptop. For some reason, however, these do not work.
    I followed the published procedure:
    1. Load first recovery disc.
    2. Turn off computer's power.
    3. Whilst holding down F12, turn on computer.
    4. When "Toshiba leading innovations" appears, release F12.
    5. Use 'up' and 'down' cursor keys to select CD-ROM icon from menu.
    6. Follow menu.
    After item 4, "Boot menu" appears, giving options HDD, eSATA, CD, etc. I selected "CD", but nothing further happens.
    It looks to me like things are worse than I thought, but on the positive side the computer still works.
    Is there anything more that I can do?

  • HDD Recovery not working

       I purchased a NB205-N312/BL with XP back in January 2010. Ever since then I've had MAJOR issues with it, to the point where I'm going to just throw the whole thing in the trash!!! It started with programs not responding constantly and crashing, then when I turn it on, it immediately goes to the start windows in safe mode (and the other options) screen. Now, when turned on, it goes into a screen that states use "earlier version of windows" or "windows setup". Thats it all I get. If I chose either one, it tells me a file is missing or corrupt.
       I looked at the owners manual (from a computer that actually works) about HDD recovery. It states to press and hold "0" when powering on; I should get a HDD recovery screen, which I never do. When I release the "0" or press any key, the bottom of the screen flashes "HDD Recovery mode" and goes right back into the "earlier version of windows" or Windows setup" option.
       Am I doing something wrong? I bought this thing just to tune my vehicle (it has to use XP and I didnt even get the chance to hook it up) and surf the net. The only downloaded program was iTunes for my iPhone.

    Hi
    The HDD recover partition is not hidden
    In my case the image files where placed on the second partition in Toshiba HDD folder.
    However, fact is that the HDD recover could be started pressing F8 button, then choosing option called Repair my Computer and in new window the option HDD Recovery should be chosen.
    If this is not possible, then you will need to recover the notebook using the Recover disk.
    I assume such disk has not been created in the past. Right? You could create the disk using recover disk creator which is preinstalled on all Toshiba notebooks.
    If this is not possible then you have to order the disk here:

  • [S210 Touch] One key recovery not working

    I have a 1.25 year old S210 Ideapad Touch.  I made a 100GB partition with EaseUS and had no problem with onekey recovery.  I tried to merge that empty partition with my C drive using EaseUS software but it did not work saying there were errors.  After that attempt One Key did not work.  Tried to open One Key with compter turned off, error message said damaged partition. Next I used Control panel Administrative Tools: Disk Management to return C drive to almost its original size less 350 mb. one key still did not work.  I reinstalled one key from Lenovo website and still did not work. Still indicated damage partition.  What can I do now?

  • Satellite T130 - Can't start the Toshiba HDD recovery

    Hi all, I have a problem with my Satellite T130. I have to start the Toshiba HDD Recovery but the computer tell me that there isn't a valid HDD recovery on the PC. Probably this is a my fahter's fault. There is another way to start the recovery?
    Thanks

    Hi iceknight,
    Of course you can install Windows from a normal Microsoft Windows disk thats no problem. There are some guides you can find using Google to copy the Windows 7 disk content on an USB stick and then you can install Windows 7 from a USB stick.
    But easiest way is you order a recovery disk from Toshiba directly. The recovery disk contains all necessary drivers and tools so the original out of box settings can be restored:

  • Webcam on my Toshiba NB305 is not working

    Sorry to invade this question, but I could not figure out how to post a question which tells you how stupid I am.
    The built in webcam on my Toshiba NB305 is not working.
    When I go into programs it tells me a wizard will popup, but it neveer does.
    HELP.

    Hi
    Why you dont try to reinstall the webcam software?
    I think the software is corrupt who knows why.
    Visit the Toshiba European driver page, choose your notebook model, choose webcam software, download this and reinstall it.
    Before you would start new installation, you should remove the previous version

  • [nForce] msi k7n2delta ilsr hdd led not work

    hi guys, well there is not much to say only that my hdd led not work, rarely i put attention on it, but just when i see... is gone... sniiiff.. i tryed change the led, invert cables, and the raid controller has nothing to do with this issue, sometime ago i have power issues, and during those times the led suddenly "wake up" , then i change the psu, and hdd, now i have sata hdd, and somebody told me the led not work with the 3· ide or sata, culd be the data cable
    thanks

    "...yes yes i know that, right now using sata i know the hdd led not work, but when i-m using ide drive either, thas wy i saying may be the ide cable.thanks..." That's not what you said in your first post. IF IDE HDD works (even if HDD led doesn't work) then IDE cable should be OK. Perhaps HDD light case/mobo connection has a problem.

  • Win 7 HDD Recovery doesnt work on Satellite L750

    Hello
    I`ve got Toshiba Satellite L750 with preinstaled win 7.
    I instaled upgrade to win 8 (from dvd).
    After this I upgrade the system from MS site to Win 8.1.
    The system doesnt work properly (DVD doesnt recognized) so I have to install previuos system.
    First I upgrade my BIOS to the new one - 3.60.
    After this I try to do win 7 reinstal from my HDD recovery (which is on the partition d).But it doesnt work - it was impossible to start recovery from bios menu (key F8 doesnt work, there was only possible to press F2 or F12).
    So I have to install Win 8.0 from my dvd, and now I have it and it works. But this is only clear system without any addons like nero, ms office etc.
    My question is how to reinstal win 7 from my hdd recovery which i still have on partition d ?
    in bios the key F8 doesnt work.

    >After this I try to do win 7 reinstal from my HDD recovery (which is on the partition d).But it doesnt work
    >My question is how to reinstal win 7 from my hdd recovery which i still have on partition d ?
    in bios the key F8 doesnt work.
    The HDD recovery will not work AFTER you changed the system.
    In such case to go back to the factory preinstalled system (Windows 7) you need to use the Toshiba recovery disk which could be created with the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
    In case you did not create such disk in the past you can order such disk here:

  • Satellite L300-1AY recovery not working

    Hello,
    I have a question about the recovery for a Tosihba Satellite L300-1AY with Windows Vista pre-installed.
    I wanted to recover my laptop and when I pressed F8 during start-up I could choose the restore my computer.
    But after that part I got a message-box (System Recovery Options) telling me that the installed programs could not start and the only option I had was press OK so the computer would turn off.
    I was wondering if there was any way this could be fixed or if there's another way to recover my computer.
    Thanks,
    Pascal

    Hi
    You could recover the notebook using the Recovery DVD which you have hopefully created before this issue happened
    Did you create such recovery DVD?
    If not then only the HDD recovery option can be used.
    For this you have to press F8 after notebook has been powered up.
    Then choose Repair my Computer.
    Then a new window will appear and then you could choose Toshiba Recovery.
    If this procedure will not start up and if you will be not able to use the HDD recovery then you need a Toshiba recovery DVD.
    If you didnt create the recovery DVD then you could order it from here:

  • Recovery not working, Windows now won't start

    I have recently received a Yoga Thinkpad. I was testing the recovery process and the laptop will no longer boot.
    The USB recovery drive I'm using was created on the same laptop, prior to this problem. I disabled secure boot, so that I can boot off it. The recovery process appears to work, but when the laptop reboots, it doesn't see Windows on the HDD and so boots from the recovery drive again. When resetting the PC, selecting "keep the existing partitions" doesn't work - Windows complains about a required drive partition being missing. However, diskpart is showing that the all the partitions are still there (Windows, Windows recovery environment, recovery partition, plus one called SYSTEM_DRV).
    I tried installing a retail copy of Windows, but it won't install since the disk is GPT (and I'm not willing to try completely resetting the disk yet). I've tried restoring the factory keys in the BIOS. I *haven't* yet tried resetting to Setup Mode.
    What else can I try to get the laptop going again?
    I'm guessing if I delete all the the partitions on the disk, recovery might work, but I wanted to check in here first to see if anyone can advise. I've been using the Ultimate Boot CD to have a look around, but not make any changes, since I'm not sure if the tools support GPT disks. I guess dropping to the command-line and using diskpart will do the trick.

  • Command R Recovery Not Working

    Dear All, I'm a little stuck.  There's something wrong with my OSX (Mavericks 10.9.5) that is stopping me from booting in the regular way ( I get stuck @ the grey screen), Booting and using Command R does nothing (tried many times for long periods), thankfully booting and holding just Option manages to get me in (via selecting my hard drive etc) and thus i've now been able to back everything up... good... So now i run Disc Utility / Verify and am told i have disc problems and i need to reboot / command R to get to the recovery centre... hmmmm nope as the command r step is the bit thats not working.... What please do i do ??  I read about internet recovery but that seems to be triggered from within command r... I really don't want to simply reformat my hard drive and "see what happens" when i then reboot as hoping i get redirected to internet recovery seems like a crazy option.... Any guidance please ???... Basically how do i get to the recovery area without rebooting using Command R ?

    Genius !... Thank you Barney... Booted via the web, tried to repair, couldn't but let me erase my hard disc and reinstall a fresh version of OSX.... 8 minutes to go on the download then it will need a thorough update but looking good right now !... a painful day but many thanks !

  • Photoshop Recovery not working

    Hello, I need SERIOUS HELP!!! My photoshop autosave IS NOT WORKING. Last time it crashed, when I re-opened photoshop, the 'recovered-digital painting' DID NOT LOAD! I tried uninstalling the program than re-downloading it immidiately afterwards but that did not solve the issue.
    I know it did not solve the issue because when I created a test digital painting, waited 15 mins, than did more edits, waited another 5 mins than use taskmanager to shut down photoshop, than re-opened photoshop the test did not re-appear as 'test digital painting - recovered'.Autosave has been set to 5 minutes. Still does not work.
    I NEED HELP PLEASEEE IM BEGGING YOU!!!! WHAT CAN I DO!!!!

    When Photoshop CS6 and or CC is installed properly and  your user id Photoshop preference File handling has Automatically Save Recovery Information check
    there should be a user id Photoshop recovery folder for each version of Photoshop autorecovery is enabled for.  The location varies for OS versions and Photoshop installation configurations.  You user ID also needs to have write rights to these folders.  Locate them and make sure you can write to them. These folders are empty normally. On My Windows 7 systems  I see mine are:
    "C:\Users\John J McAssey\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\AutoRecover" and
    "C:\Users\John J McAssey\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\AutoRecover"

  • Toshiba HD audio not working

    Hi all, i have a toshiba satellite pro l300 with HD Audio like soundcard. My system is windows 7 ultimate edition.
    Sound have suddenly stop working i have try installing realtek driver not working, clean the computer not working. i have installed debian to see if it is a windows or a hardware problem. on Debian (linux) the sound is coming out on the right speaker the
    left is out. i can not figure if it is a driver problem. but i am always sure that one speaker is giving. i have try to balance all the sound to the right speaker to disable the left but no effect. is there any way to tell windows to disable (don't use) the
    left speaker only the right.
    Specs: Toshiba satellite pro l300-29h, intel HD Audio, windows 7 ultimate 32 bits

    yes, this is not hardware issue, I suggest you perform again basic troubleshoot regarding sound, it must be 3rd party software conflict or bad driver
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/no-sound-help#no-sound=windows-7&v1h=win8tab1&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1
    is there any changes before this issue happen?
    if everything normal before, did you try system restore?
    I suggest do clean boot to isolate 3rd party software issue
