Toshiba recovery disc usage for Satellite A300-211

i bought my lap last april and after the crash of the system.
I used the recovery disc that i made from the image on the hard disc but it erased all the data in the two partitions.
My question: Is there a way to use the disc to format partition C only without erasing the data on the other partition?

Hi
To start the HDD recovery procedure follow these steps:
- press F8 after powering up the unit
- choose option Repair my Computer
- in new window choose Toshiba HDD recovery
Now HDD recovery should start up and you should follow the steps on the screen.
As mentioned by Paupau, the HDD recovery should format the C but should leave the D partition untouched.

Re: I lost recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

Hi there, my son has lost recovery disc 1 for his Satellite P10.
We have got disc 2 (drivers) but not disc 1.
Where can we obtain another recovery disc 1. and what will it cost approx .
Message was edited by: merdat

Hi
Usually you could order it from the ASP in your country but Im not quite sure if you will be able to order such disk because the P10 is an older notebook series and possibly the recovery disks are not more available for this model.
However, you should contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.
Good luck

Recovery disc(s) for Satellite A135-2266 - help? for laptop donation to kenya orphanage

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me here, or maybe tell me how to do this myself? I have a Satellite A135-2266 that needs to have the HD replaced. This computer, if I can get the recovery discs, will be donated to an orphanage in Kenya that our church supports. I will replace the HD myself, but I need the recovery discs (this was my son's laptop - he's in the navy and it died on him after only 6 mos, but he was not able to get it to land in time for warranty - and now he cannot locate the recovery disc. This is my plea for help. If anyone has recovery discs for this model, is there any chance they could copy them for me - I'd pay for the discs and shipping, so that I can fix it and get it to the orphanage? HELP? if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. I will be calling Toshiba to see if they can help me out, but I have faith in the users here to maybe be my salvation.
Many thanks!

Are Recovery Discs bootable? - Satellite A300

Hi,
I'm having some issues making the Recovery Disc (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=38328&tstart=0 ), but as the main file burned to the discs is a 1+ GB *".exe"* one, I am starting to wonder if the discs are really expected to be bootable... after all you'd +usually+ require a windows envionment to execute such a file.
Or maybe the files required to "run" that .exe are supposed to be in the bootable part of the disc?
Thanks in advance.

Fedora DVD burned in the laptop booted just fine.
These are the contents of the Recovery Disc the system is creating

Could someone copare it to their RD and see if spot any difference??

Making Recovery disc for Satellite A300-16I

I recently purchased this laptop and I get this reminder to make a recovery disc, but the link to the program doesn't work.
When I found the recovery disc program in its original folder it still refused to open.
My laptop just 'thinks' for a moment and then pretend nothing has happened.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Maybe I could download a working version of this program...?

Hi
From my own experience after a third system restart a recovery reminder appear saying you need to create a Recovery DVD.
You said you found the recovery disc program in the original folder well, as far as I know there is a TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator shortcut on the desktop.
Use this shortcut to star this application.
If this is not possible then you could try to recover the notebook again and then to create the recovery CD.
To start the recovery process you have to press F8 button immediately after system start.
Then choose the option called Repair your Computer and follow the instruction on the screen.
Bye

Hi
Did you change anything on your notebook?
I mean if your HDD recovery partition has been changed or the data o thin partition has been deleted?
To be honest for me it looks like the OS issue. I think its not a single tool issue but I think the operating system has been muddled up
Maybe you should try to recover the notebook using the Toshiba HDD recovery option and after the new OS installation on the notebook you could try to create the recovery disk again.
In order to start the recovery you have to press the F8 immediately after the notebook has been powered up. Then you should choose the first option called Repair My Computer.
This would lead to a new window and there you could choose Toshiba HDD recovery.
But note; this recovery would format the whole HDD so maybe you should backup some data before you would start this procedure.

Satellite A300-211 - Can't start recovery disk creator

I just installed the ultraiso program, when I open the toshiba recovery disc creator this message appear
An unexpected error occurred.
please quit this application and restart it.
(error code:0D00F6-26-00000015)
with an only ok option when I press it, it appears again ,when I press ok for the second time, it disappears and the program runs. What can I do to stop that?
note: I had the same problem with the poweriso program
my lap is a A300-211

Hi mate,
Can you please tell us what happens if you uninstall ultraiso program? To be honest ths program isnt known to me, I never heard about this.
Then try it again please.
In worst case you have to start the HDD recovery option to reinstall Windows. Then you should be able to create the recovery media. For HDD recovery procedure I have founded this:

Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
Thanks

Hello Pingo
You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.

Satellite A300-211 - illumination button stopped working

Hi
How are you people ?
I have an annoying problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300-211.
I had windows vista home premium 32 bits installed on it but then i removed it and started using windows 7 ultimate 64 bits and a result of that one of the touch media buttons that is used to turn the led light on and off changed its function and started turn the sound on and off.
When i installed the value added package because the function key was not working the button stopped working. It does not turn the led light on or off or turn the sound on or off any more.
It is blinking but not working .
Can any one help ?

Hi
You can try to install the VAP using the Advanced Option.
During the installation in Advanced Option, you can unchecked the Toshiba Multimedia Button support and could try to install the VAP without this further option.
I read somewhere in this forum that this could help
However, usually the common VAP installation should fix this if it does not fix then I assume that the registry is corrupt as already mentioned by Tonny
So what to say using CCleaner might help, if not. Try to use Toshiba recovery

Osx lion: available space on my HD has increased significantly since the iCloud and recovery disc updates for Mac.

osx lion: available space on my HD has increased significantly (doubled!) since the iCloud and recovery disc updates for Mac. I am guessing OSX Lion now recalculates what is 'available' as I have not deleted anything major. I have two MacBook Air's (1 core 2 duo and 1 i5), both with 256 drives. I am also running win 7 on Parallels 7. Any thoughts?

you can't necessarily download the Mountain Lion installer via the App Store since it came already installed on your computer.
Not true. You can go to the Mac App Store and download the installer
(from the link that WALTER-MILANO-ITALY posted above)
Install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
If you completed your installation of OS X, your installer may have been removed after your successful first login to OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion. Mac App Store's Purchases page should show Install OS X as being "Installed", and disallow its download, when viewed from a computer running OS X.
To redownload the installer on a computer running OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, press and hold the Option key while you click the Purchases tab. If the button to the right of the Install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion item doesn't change to "Install" and allow you to download OS X, use Spotlight to search for "Install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion" on your computer.

Recovery Disc's needed for Satellite A300

Hi,
Trying to fix a mates laptop, had lots of issues so tried to put it back to out of the box state but when loading the disc's on 2nd disc fails to read and I get an error. Tried buring it at min speed but still no good.
Just wondering where I would get them from. Model number is: PSAG4A-02E00M.

It looks like it scratched and some files can't be read. As I know, the 2nd Dvd contains drivers/utilities that you can install yourself from Toshiba driver pages. It depends on model:
[European Toshiba Driver Page|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
[Canadian Toshiba Driver Page|http://support.toshiba.ca/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp]

Unfortunately, it's not free to order recovery disk, you have to pay. For European models, you can order here:

System repair/ recovery for Satellite A300

Hello,
I m new to this forum, I ve been reading through prior posts to see if anyone has a solution to my problem but none so far.
I ve had a failure to boot in Win XP yesterday (single OS on my system), where I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing - just a black screen. I had an update for Windows running before this happned, and before that I did perform a backup of all my files - just routine at the time. Power/battery is not a problem. I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options. Ultimately moving the CD/DVD up and even changing the setting of HDD SATA from AHC to compatibility.
I remove the HDD and connect it to a healthy laptop via connector cable to USB. Looks perfect, no bad sectors or viruses (had an updated NIS on my Toshiba, and Kaspersky on the helper laptop). Anyway I copied my personal files off the HDD to another external HDD, as well as back up files from Toshiba HDD.
The internal DVD/CD player had not been functional for a year or so, and I had been using an external one via USB.
I pop in a recovery disc (which I had from Toshiba):
a- while HDD is in its slot or the second empty slot - no change in situation
b- while HDD is connected to Toshiba laptop via cable/USB: says Windows is loading files (so it seems to be alive) then goes to a DOS like interface where it says:
Waiting for ODD to become available
ODD ready in drive D
Checking media in drive D.....
and just keeps waiting - nothing happens.
I m sorry for the lengthy explanation, but I do think something had gone wrong with the XP Boot after that last update. I do have the recovery disc, but apparently that too is a no-go at this point. I would opt to try and repair XP (booting) first, but if it comes to it I will be ok formating and installing XP from the recovery disc. I m not sure if I have that option given the whole deal of using an external USB DVD player.
help please, I ve been at this for a whole day..
Jonesducklng

Which Satellite A300? There is a label on the bottom.
Are you willing to purchase a replacement ODD?
Do you have a Windows XP installation CD?
I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options.
Is there a USB option in that boot priority list?

Satellite L500D PSLK0A Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator does not run correctly

Hi,
I am trying to create a recovery disc for my Toshiba Satellite L500D PSLK0A-00U009.
When I run the Recovery Disc Creator it begins to open then it comes up with a box with an exclamation mark then it says 'Can not open target partition'. Then the Recovery Disc Creator will open. It then appears normal then when I insert a CD to being the process it looks as though it is going to work then it says Error and stops and ejects the CD the Error is code is: 0E01B5-26-510444D9
I have already uninstalled then program then reinstalled it using a download from the MyToshiba website and this did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Did you try different disks from different manufactures?
How about the usage of USB flash memory stick? As far as I know you can create an bootable USB Recovery flash stick too.
