Toshiba l 305 recovery disk problems

Hi, I need your help, I replaced my hard drive, and the recovery disk states that some files are missing
x:/bootdialog.exe, x:/errordialog.exe, toshdoialog.exe and another one, my husband also has a Toshiba and his recovery disk works great, why mine is asking for this files? How can I download them? Where can I get them? If I find them how do I copy them, so when the disk states that does not have it, how do I give it??
PLEASE HELP!!

Those files are missing upon the creating of the Recovery Media . you can order a new set of media
(Everyone was new at one point)

  • Satelite 1905-S301 Recovery Disk problems

    I've recently gotten a Satelite 1905-S301 that I wanted to take back to "out of box" so I ran the recovery disks 1 thru 3 of 3 and all was going well but on the 3rd disk it says it can't find/open file PREINS005.GHS (or close to that name from memory) every time and won't finish causing me to cancel out.  I searched the 3rd disk but didn't find the file, but it does have PREINS002.GHS.  I see the disk 2 has PREINS002, 003, 004 of the file.  So now I'm stuck in mid-install.  Could the recovery disk not have the correct file on it?  Shouldn't be a drive reading error since it completed the first two several times and the computer worked OK prior to resinstall.  Planning on abandoning the recovery and going to a new Windows install I have.  Thoughts?

    Make sure the CD or DVD disk is clean with no smudges or scratches.  Even the slightest imperfection can cause the recovery process to crap out.  If cleaning the disk doesn't help try making a copy of it on another system.  Copying it will often times solve the problem as the copy process will continue to attempt to read the information from a disk where the recovery process will halt as soon as it sees the slightest glitch.  Make sure that you burn the copied disk at the slowest possible speed to ensure an optimum burn and be sure to use GOOD quality blank media.

  • Toshiba Portege M600 Recovery Disk

    Is there a way to recover portege m600 without using recovery disk ?
    cause i have a problem with my dvd drive so i cant use it.
    Also, where is the image files path located for recovery disk ?
    thx hope got some reply soon

    Many Toshiba laptops allow you to boot into a recovery mode that can restore the laptop from a hard drive partition. Try holding down the '0' key and then turning on the computer, continuing to hold it down.
    It seems like your laptop isn't from the US. You might have more luck with the support site for the region from which you purchased your laptop.

  • Recovery Disk Problem - Receiving the correct disks.

    Hardware: HP Envy Ultrabook 4-4043cl, 64 bit, OS Win 7
    Problem:  Two months ago I had ordered and paid for the recovery disks for the above laptop computer. This order was made online.  Within five days, I received three disks which turned out to be the incorrect disks for my model of computer. Since then I have made four requests (phone calls) to HP Tech Support for appropriate disks. I supply the original order information and appropriate data about my laptop.  These requests take approximately twenty minutes to complete. Each time I have been told that the correct disks will be sent immediately.  However, I have yet to receive the recovery disks. During the last request, I asked for a confirmation number and a estimated date of delivery.  The support person stated that they do not supply that information.  However, the support person stated his supervisor would be informed and I would received a phone call from this supervisor. The call never came.  
    I have not been able to use my HP Envy for the last two months because of this problem. What must I do to get my recovery disks?

    Sorry for walking you through steps you have already tried, that I was not aware of. It struck me odd that no Windows disk would boot and/or could see or read the hdd and I was hoping to get to a solution to that.
    The fact that Recovery Disks state the drive  is unreadable is not the normal message you get when having wrong set..they usually give a message that the machine is not supported by the disks or something very similiar. I take it that you are still getting that message after prepping with Cyberlink utilty cd?
    I have no immediate way of helping get another recovery set but have requested help from an internal source. You should be contacted via PM message here. To access your PM box you must be logged in and can then click the little  icon at top right of this page.
    Good luck!

  • Factory recovery disks problem

    I failed to create a set of factory recovery disks on my computer. The software said "unable to find files for recovery media". 
    My Q: has 9.25GB files. It seems all the files are here. But I can't create the disks. 
    Is there anyone having the same problem?

    Interesting...... I was just checking my system and the SYSTEM_DRV partition has no drive letter, but that may be due to the fact that I cloned the system to the SSD many months ago. I'm going to place my original HDD temporarily back into the unit to see about the labeling. I don't recall having any issue with burning the recovery media when the system was new. I'll post back with my findings.
    Update: System_DRV has no drive letter either on the original HDD.

  • Recovery Disk Problems

    Hi guys,
    I have ordered the recovery disk, and now I am trying to reinstall my system.
    What I don't get is it is written on the envelope of the DVD, that "You will lose all the data on the hard disks".
    And after starting the installation it asks again, if I am sure I want to start it, because I'll lose all my data.
    So my question is, will it erase all my partitions??! Or it will format just partition C?
    It would be absurd to have to copy 200GB of data from the other two partitions...!
    Please tell me it won't delete the data from the other partitions!
    Thanks,

    Even if somebody told me otherwise, I would always assume that the entire hard disk will be reconstructed.

  • Recovery DIsk Problem

    I am trying to format my a105 hard drive, so i insert the cd and reboot. while it powers up, i hold the 'c' key as the instructions tell me to do and the ram image loading bar comes up and it says press f6 for os options or whatever, then the screen goes blank except for the pointer, then the computer restarts and does the same thing all over again. it happens until i take out the cd. how can i format the hard drive?

    Which A105 do you have?  
    If I understand this, you pressed the "C" key once the first time you powered on.  It ran through some tings, went blank, then rebooted.  You didn't press the "C" key but it still did the ram image loading bar and the F6 key for OS options, etc?  Am I missing anything?  No other options or things displayed?
    You could also try to hold down the F12 key right after powering on to get the boot menu.  Then select the CD to boot from.  If it reboots, don't select the "C" key or the F12 key.
    Also you may want to check the disk on antoher computer and see if it can read all the files.  Maybe the issue is do to a read error.

  • Equium L10-300 recovery disk needed

    ive had my laptop for 5mnths and i need to recover my toshiba laptop but the dealer, pc world in UK, i bought it from gave me a copy of the recovery disk and not the original but nothing is on it. so how can i download or obtain a Toshiba L10-300 recovery disk. or should i use my Windows Xp home edition disk and then install the necessary driver from Toshiba tools and utilities disk? please help or email me on [email protected]

    Hello Mo,
    Yes you can install Windows XP HE or Pro and then download all the drivers from Toshiba. But the place you bought the Computer from is supposed to furnish the Recovery CD's that came with the machine. If you go back and ask them they should be more then happy to oblige your request, since after all it is not your fault you do not have the CD's. Either way, for now if you want you could install windows normally and download the drivers, and wait for your recovery CD from the store, or you can go to the store, request your Recovery CD, and install it that way once they give you the CD's. Hope this clears up your problems.

  • Use HP Recovery disk for Win7 when using SSD in DV3-2350ed?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if I can replace my HDD with an SSD en still use the HP recovery disk? I've seen some problems with the one for windows Vista but never hear about the HP Recovery Disk problems to install on SSD.
    My HDD will be places in a 2nd drive caddy in place of the optical drive.
    And en new SSD will boot the system i Hope.
    Does anyone have experience with this? I don't want to buy an expensive SSD if it won't work!!
    Best regards.
    Reef2009

    Well as far as I know since the optical drive is SATA you can use the secondary Hard Disk.
    For the SSD, take an image from the partition where the system is.
    And restore it on SSD by using Windows Repair.
    I'm not sure 100% but as a concept it's possible since there already people doing this method or vice versa.

  • Problems with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Generator program

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite Pro U400 laptop running XP SP3 - iyes t's old, but still running with newly added memory and a new battery.
    I wanted to make a fresh set of recovery disks so I fired up the Toshiba app. It created the first disk fine. Then it prompted for Disk 2. So I put Disk 2 in.  It contemplated for a bit, it said it would now create disk 2.  Then, it prompts me again for Disk 2. There's no error message or anything. So, I ejected the disk and tried a different one.  Several times.  It just can't get past this to create disks 2 and 3.
    I downloaded an "update" I found on the Toshiba site, but it didn't change anything.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hello
    I think you mixed up something...
    The hidden Windows partition (Recovery Environment) has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery disk or HDD recovery procedure. This is a Windows feature that is on all PCs and notebooks available so my suggestion is you read this good Wikipedia article about this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_Environment
    The HDD recovery files are stored on the second partition of the HDD in the folder HDDRecovery. So if you use the HDD recovery function only the first partition will be formatted and you can only use this feature if you have access to the advanced boot menu. If you dont have it you must use the Toshiba recovery disk because the disk formats the whole HDD and restore the factory settings of the notebook (the HDD recovery too but only with the first partition).
    You can change the partition size of both partitions but there should be enough free space on both partitions. Otherwise the HDD recovery does maybe not work.
    About the Vista partition tool I can prefer this useful article:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7101OB0006R01.htm
    I hope you understand it better now and if you have more questions please let us know.

  • Satellite P500 - Restart loop after using Toshiba recovery disk

    Hi,
    I have got a problem recovering SATELLITE P500. I had made the recovery disks. It boots ok from the recovery disk and formats the hard drive and copies the disks to the hard drive. It then starts windows setup and reboots.
    Then it goes to a loop
    1) Start up and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use"
    2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Finnishing installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interupt or shutdown the computer!
    3) Windows logo
    4) Shutting down...
    5) restarts and goes to 1)
    It would be great if some one could help me with this.
    Many thanks,
    Softari

    Hello
    I have noticed the same on my Satellite P500 but I must say its not an issue, its absolutely normal. The notebook will restart several times (10 times or more) to finish the installation.
    You must know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and certain restart must be done to configure everything properly.
    So dont interrupt the recovery installation, just wait a little bit longer and drink a coffee. Everything happens automatically and your notebook will be reinstalled with factory settings. :)

    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.

  • Recovery Disks sent by Toshiba do not work.

    So about two months ago my hard drive started failing, and my Winsdows 7 partition stopped working. So I ordered Toshiba Recovery Discs using my serial and part number given on the bottom of my computer. When I follow the instructions that came with the discs (hold "C" until the Toshiba logo is shown then release) I get a message saying "No Bootable Decive Recognized". So I tried pressing F12 and booting from the CD drive, and same message. Well I got a new hard drive, thinking maybe it was the failure of the old one. But it has the same exact error message. When I researched further I read same reports but those people ordered a new set and it worked fine. So I did that but to no avail, same exact error. I recently booted into a Linux OS system and the discs aren't even recognized, while every other disc I put in is recognized. I'm not sure if they keep sending me faulty discs or the problem is on my end, but I would appreciate any feedback.
    I use a Toshiba Satellite L650D
    Windows 7 64 Bit Home Edition.
    I also have a Windows Repair disc which actually gets me into Startup Repair.

  • Toshiba will not ship recovery disk to a APO

    I am here stationed in IRAQ. I bought a Toshiba laptop from the base exchange(in Iraq) I need to get a recovery disk from Toshiba and tried to order one. Well to my shock Toshiba does not ship to APOs. Afer speaking with a VERY rude customer sevice person who informed she was the higher person I could complaim to, I just had to ask if she was the CEO of Toshiba. They must be someone somewhere who can tell me why they will sell me a laptop in Iraq but will not support it. All I keeped hearing was "we don't ship to APOs" but not why. does anyone know of a Toshiba e-mail address where I can get some help. I am ready to run this hunk of junk over with my tank. Never again with I buy Toshiba.

    To the best of my knowledge NONE of the manufacturer's ship to APO/FPO addresses.  The normal reason given for this is that they aren't guaranteed that they will be able to get a reciept signature.  Your best bet is to have it shipped to someone in the US and have them mail it to you. 
    Of course if you had followed the instructions in your User's Guide you would have made your own and not have needed to order them.  Have you tried the hard drive based recovery utility to fix the system?  Since you haven't provided any details as to what the problem with your laptop is, or what model you have it's difficult for any of us to give you any specific advise that could potentially help you with this. 
    While I don't condone this type of behaviour or company policy about the APO/FPO addresses, no one has the right to expect Toshiba to provide something that none of the other manufacturer's provide.  I find this situation deplorable and think that ALL of the manufacturer's that sell through base exchanges should be forced to provide FULL support for their products or not be allowed to sell through them.  That is something that the Military and the US Government would have to impose so in effect your real complaint is with the entire exchange program, not the individual manufactorer's.

  • Toshiba recovery disks do not work

    I purchased the recovery disks for the NB255-N250 from Toshiba after my hdd was replaced under warranty by a retailer. The first disk errors out after 5 minutes with the error "0a 0244 0000". Speaking with tech support today they offered me the option of sending it in at my expense. I have already paid $25 for the disks and now they want another $25 more. This appears to be a very common error on Google but no one has posted what they did to resolve it. The system will accept a straight install of Windows 7 but not the recovery disks. Any suggestions?

    You're very welcome.
    Glad you got everything to work.
