Toshiba recovery for R835-P70

I recently had to get my laptop fully reset due to a virus.  I took it to Geek Squad and they recovered using Windows 7, not my Toshiba discs as one had been damaged.  Now some features for my computer can't be used like ECO utility, F key buttons, etc.  Is there a way to download this stuff or even buy it?  Thanks for the help.

  • Maximum RAM for R835-P70

    I know that the specs for the Portege R835-P70 is 8 GB, but what would happen if I put in 16 GB? My machine is sluggish and keeps running out of RAM. I've elminated a lot of services and background apps, but it's still running at about 5-6.5 GB all the time. Apps crash a lot (esp. Firefox, Chrome and Office 2007 apps). System is fully patched and clean -- no malware. It's just s-l-o-w.  (Right now I'm running at 5.66GB of RAM but processor usage sits around 10%.)

    Swapping to disk from memory does take a huge toll on performance. However, your applications should not crash, as Windows should be properly managing this all the time.   Keep in mind that your swap file (virtual memory) must be big enough to handle all  of the memory space on your PC.  You might start looking at how your virtual memory is configured.
    As it is unlikely you can access the memory beyond 8GB if you try to put in 16GB, you might instead try upgrading to an SSD.  Swapping is still not ideal, but using an SSD is not as ugly as using a typical hard drive.
    SSDs are getting very inexpensive. Expect to pay around $170 for 250GB or around $300 for 512GB.  This is a lot cheaper than the upgrade I did last year from 128 to 250.
    There are some benchmarks here at http://bit.ly/1at5YCc in OLD article about virtual memory. You can also see how prices have come down for SSDs since then.

  • What happened to the Toshiba Portege R835-P70??

    I'm looking to pick up a Toshiba Portege R835-P70 from Best Buy. I saw it on the website a few weeks back, but it appears to be gone. It was going for around $799 if I recall.
    Toshiba tells me it's exclusively at best buy - http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/portege/R830/R835-P70/
    But looking on the site now, they only have a Portege PT320U as the cheapest one for almost $1000
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Portege+PT320U-0CS04E+13.3%22+Notebook+-+Intel+Core+i3+2.20+GH...
    Any chance I could still find one in stores?
    Thanks!

    Not sure what happened to it, some items are only offered for so long at BBY before something else replaces it. And after a product is discontinued, its still on the manufacturers website for reference.

  • UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

    UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before.  UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D  On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example 
    cannot read from source file or disk
    7z.dll
    Type application extension
    size 585kb
    date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
    other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
    Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-)  Thank you!
    I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
    Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
    I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba.  Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.  
    When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
    Windows failed to start.  A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
    To fix the problem
    Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
    Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
    Click ‘repair your computer’
    File: \boot\memtest.exe
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
    I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message.  I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy.  On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop.  I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

    the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
    My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
    Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

  • Do I need to use Toshiba Recovery Wizard?

    Hi everyone!
    I've been having major problems with my Toshiba since I first got it last March. I have a Toshiba Satellite L750, Windows 7, 64-bit, with 6GB of RAM.
    Last December (right before finals were due -_-) my laptop just committed suicide. The hard drive totally died on me out of the blue. I got a computer-savvy friend to replace my hard drive with a new one. Everything was working fine at first, but within a week my laptop ate that hard drive up too. It was BIZARRE. I went back home for the holidays and since my laptop was still under warranty then (it's not now), Toshiba replaced my hard drive, reinstalled Windows, etc. This was in January - things were fine, but it's now May and everything is messed up again.
    Basically everything takes forever to load or it doesn't load at all - desktop, taskbar, programs, internet, user accounts... sometimes Windows won't even load. Booting in Safe Mode, things work, but they still take a little longer than usual, even just logging into my user account.
    I've ran CCleaner numerous times. I've tried starting up with certain programs disabled. I've ran virus scans, and this is another problem -every single time I try to run Malware Bytes, in Safe Mode and regularly, the scan ALWAYS freezes. After that, nothing else works and I have to restart the laptop. Startup Repair doesn't do anything. Neither does sfc/scannow. Also, I tried doing a System Restore, only to find that I have no restore points. It doesn't seem to be a virus - Avast is always running and hasn't found anything.
    I ran a system analyzer on my laptop and this is some of the information I got:
    513.0 GB of available space on system partition
    Total size of hard drives is 595.6 GB
    Total memory of PC is 6092 MB
    -all of this is apparently "above average"
    HDD speed = 58MB/second
    CPU has 2 cores running at 2.29GHz
    CPU temperature = 60C (140F)
    I uninstalled programs I don't use and have tried physically cleaning my computer, but to no avail. Usually I can get past the startup/Windows logo screen fine, but once I get to a user account/desktop, that's when all the problems start.
    Any suggestions?
    Someone said to use the Toshiba Recovery Wizard/HDD Recovery, since I'm not too fussed about losing files. Do you think this will help? Would it completely wipe out Windows 7, though?
    I can access the "Repair your computer" function that leads me to Toshiba Recovery Wizard... does that mean that it'll restore everything to factory settings (out-of-box) and reinstall Windows 7 automatically? I'm assuming this because I don't remember receiving any recovery disks, so I'm thinking this might be the hidden recovery partition. I don't have the Windows installation CD, so I just want to make sure I won't end up without an OS before I go ahead and try it.
    I'm trying to exhaust all options because I'm a brokeass student and would prefer to not have to buy a new laptop... but if nothing can be done, then I guess I'll have to.
    Thanks for reading!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Jerry!
    So do you think this will work? The fact that my laptop has eaten up 3 HDDs now kinda makes it seem like it's a hardware issue... a problem with the motherboard. I gave this laptop to Toshiba in January when I was still under warranty, and I specifically told them that this laptop goes Hannibal for hard drives -which is not normal - and that they should check if there's a hardware issue (it had eaten 2 HDDs at that point). Clearly they didn't do that, though - they just slapped in a new hard drive. If they had listened to me, then my HDD wouldn't be dying every 3, 4 months. I've accepted that I need to buy a new laptop, but I just need something to work in the meantime while I look for one (and scrounge up some cash). 
    Also, do you think the fact that nothing ever loads on my laptop will have an effect on the Recovery Wizard? I read that if even one thing goes wrong during the recovery process, everything will be completely lost and you can't even try the process again. Obviously I don't want that to happen!
    And one more question: it's not 100% clear in the manual and that is what I originally came here to post about - will the "out-of-box" recovery process delete my OS? I have a Windows 7 sticker on my laptop, so I'm pretty sure it was pre-installed... I definitely don't have any disks with me. So even if it does work, will it reinstall Windows 7/MS Office/etc. automatically for me? 
    Thanks again for your help!

  • P745: Possible Bad Hard Drive. How do I get Toshiba Recovery Wizard on New HD?

    Hey everyone last week my computer was behaving slouchy so I did a simple restart. When it restarted it took me to a screen which said loading "Windows files" then it took me to Startup Repair. Startup repair could not repair the issue and I did a few check disk scans and one of them said 4 sectors of the hard drive were bad. I used Toshiba recovery wizard and restored the computer to an out of box state.
    I also installed ubuntu 12.04 as a dual boot option last night. Now fast forward to this morning and I am using Windows. After installing Toshiba driver updates the laptop is again behaving slouchy and refusing to load web pages. When I restart the computer after one to the driver updates I get an error about not being able to start windows and so I choose "Attempt to boot from last successful attempt" this works. However, something tells me that the bad sectors of the hard drive are to blame.
    So I want to order this 1TB toshiba notebook hard drive and install in the P745. http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Storage/Hard-Drive-Replacements-and-Upgrades/1TB/PH2100U-1I54
    However, the hard drive will be blank and so I want it to have Windows 7 on it and the Toshiba recovery wizard which I find to be extremely useful.
    How do I go about getting back Windows 7 on the new hard drive and the recovery partition on the new drive. Do I order the recovery usb from Toshiba? https://support.toshiba.com/repair?orderType=SFF
    Then somehow this usb will assist me in transferring the contents of my current hard drive to the new one including Windows and Toshiba Recovery Wizard?
    I would be grateful for any clarifications and assistance you can provide.
    Thanks.

    Post full model and operating system!
    Your answer in general -
    You should have the option to create recovery media from your Toshiba so you don't have to buy them.
    Type in your search bar recovery and the recovery media creator or may be named something different should be there to make the 3 or 4 DVD's.
    This will restore to out of box settings including the recovery partition. - IT DOES NOT BACKUP YOUR OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM or anything you have added since it was new.
    During the recovery it will ask if you want to rescue your info or you can save your documents, pictures , etc manually before hand.
    If you reformatted the drive and installed a stand alone version of windows 7 there will not be a recovery partition and you will have to order the recovery media, you can get it here in US : http://support.toshiba.com/recovery#media

  • Help toshiba recovery utility

    satellite pro a 210 goes through ram disk setup and comes up to toshiba recovery utility and asks for machine model.   i have tried many numbers and only get wrong machine.      any ideas

    It' s very easy to do it:
    1. You should make a windows clean installation, install all the drivers and programs you like. It can be antivirus, download manager, video players. But I recommend to install the most necessary programs otherwise more space required.
    2 Download and install ,, Acronis true Image,,. then, activate it, Google can help you how to do it.
    3 Run Acronis, Click on Backup at left side panel. Then, click on Disk and Partition Backup, the new window appears ,,Backup wizard,,
    where:
    a ,,What to back up,, - Mark the Os partition located. In my case, it's C disk partition.
    b ,,Archive Location,,- Browse where you want to store hdd backup, should be another partition for example D: partiton
    c ,,Scheduling,, - choose, don't schedule
    d ,,Back up method,, -Full
    e ,,what to exclude,, Just ignore
    f ,,Backup option,, you can choose a password protection,, and other options
    Press ,,Proceed,, and it will start backing up, it takes about 10-15 minutes.
    Now, you need to manage acronis secure zone. go to Tools and utilities and choose acronis secure zone.
    in
    a. ,,Free space selection,, - Mark NTFS C
    b ,,Size,,- choose 250-300 mb space
    Then, click on Finish and Proceed. it will proceed and then ask you to restart it. After restart it will perform ,,Partioning,, and restarts again.
    In Tools and Utilities, choose Acronis startup recovery and press activate. So, on the laptop startup you just need to hit F11 to enter the Acronis recovery utility and follow all the instructions. In 10-15 minutes, you will get the new installed system.

  • Is there a choice of 64 bit or 32 bit on Toshiba Recovery?

    Hi everyone, I have just got myself a lovely new Toshiba (now my 3rd) and have the delights of Windows 7 to play with.....
    Model is Satellite Pro L670-18E Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
    64 bit was pre-installed but it just causes too many problems with incompatible software and my networked XP PC's so I would like to install 32 bit instead.
    If I use the Toshiba Recovery disks I have created, will I be able to choose?
    Sorry but I just can't find a definitive answer here in previous posts.

    When plugged in it can take at least a minute for each drive area to become available in My Computer.
    For instance, I plug in the drive and CD drive shows straight away but the green bar at the top of My Computer takes about a minute to reach the end before the drive is actually detailed and shown in full (F plus Public G).
    Then it takes another minute of the green bar again to reach the end at which point the drive icon flickers then stays static (the blue access light remains lit). If I double click the CD icon to reach securedrive.exe (to open the secure area), it takes another minute to complete. This is driving me nuts as I bought this specifically because my existing Lexar drive was not compatible with 64 bit. (Lexar do state that it is incompatible).
    I set up a secure area OK but on trying to open it via securedrive.exe the window just sits with the spinning circle for about 2 minutes before the unlock window appears. When locking, even though using logout or safely remove hardware the light remains on. The drive works perfectly (fast) on my XP system.
    I wonder if the incompatibility arises through having a secure area?
    Perhaps a plain drive will be OK.
    I'll have to get one and try.

  • 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.

  • Toshiba Recovery Wizard Error f3-ff00-0021

    P500-ST6844
    PSPGSU-0Q2012
    i recently noticed that my toshiba recovery wizard option in the Windows 7 RE no longer works. All the HDD recovery partitions are intact. i tried a recovery by pressing the '0' when i powered up the system and performed a factory recovery, but the recovery wizard in Windows RE still won't come up. I even tried using the recovery media 
    I made when I first got the computer. I even tried having the recovery media delete all info on the drive before I tried to perform a factory restore. when i use the 'Windows 7 Repair disc' i also made when I got the computer to try and bring up the toshiba recovery wizard, it comes up. but that doesn't really help me because it tries to use disc based recovery not the HDD based recovery. it also doesn't help because I chose to make my recovery media using two USB flash drives, instead of a bunch of cd/dvd discs. I know the recovery partitions and the recovery files are there and intact, but for some reason the recovery wizard won't open.
    when i go to a command prompt in winre and type either startup32_tools.exe or startup32_proton.exe (i'm not sure which) the recovery wizard finally comes up but with the error f3-ff00-0021. I don't know if this is because i'm trying to bring up the wizard manually and doing something wrong, or if this is part of the problem i am experiencing.
    P.S. To Toshiba: Major Kudo's on the option in the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator to use a couple of flash drives (a 4Gb and a 16GB in my case) for creating the recovery media. It's alot better than having to burn 5 dvd discs. dvd-r disc are really expensive where i am. the flash drive option saved me time and money!

    UPDATE: (long overdue)
    Turns out the error was caused by the backup utility was using that was supposed to make an image of ALL the partitions on my system. turns out the type of partition that containd all the toshiba/microsoft windows recovery files (type 0x17). are not commonly supported by some backup software. although the files were initially there, when i ran a system recovery using the backup software, it restored the system, but blanked out the partition called 'HDDRECOVERY'. as a result, when i ran into problems later and wanted to perform a factory system recovery, it was not possible because the files no longer existed. i talked to the backup software company about this issue, but they were not very cooperative. also the inital issue of the repair option not appearing was caused by a issue with the BCD file that windows bootmanager uses to keep track of boot options. i have since learned how to fix this issue, but it is a pain in the @$$ when it occurs. My solution issue, was resolved by the fact i had thooughtfully made an partition image of the partitions 'HDDRECOVERY' and 'SYSTEM' using commodo backup. i had made them on the day i recieved my laptop, putting it on my old seagate freeagent desk drive, and had subsequently put the drive away into storage and forgotten about the backups. the most difficult part, once i remembered about the backups, was getting them restored properly. but, i was able to do it so problem solved.
    Moral of this tale: BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! You can never have too many backups

  • Toshiba Recovery Media Creator Error Code 020150-20-00000000 (Satallite L755-S5308)

    We just received 2 - Toshiba Satallite L755-S5308 Laptops over the thanksgiving holiday from Best Buy and the first thing we normally do after powering up the laptops is to create our recovery disc sets to DVD's. However, both laptops are giving the same error message on both machines at the same point in the creation of the Recovery DVD Disc 4 when using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Please See Eror Message Below:
    Failed To Read The Following File.
    D:\ZZImages\ZZImages\Preinst18.swm
    (Error Code: 020150-20-00000000)
    If you are getting this error message then you will not be able to restore your laptop factory software and operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)

    You could create an image of the entire HDD onto another drive, but this can be a headache for a lot of users and would require specialized hardware and a HDD enclosure. As such, it's not a feasible solution.
       Oh,come now.  You can buy 'specialized hardware' -- an HDD enclosure -- from a widely known online computer store for $12.99 with free shipping, and a spare plain old Seagate 500 GB hard drive (nothing very special about it, except that it costs more since the flooding in Thailand) running at 7200 rpm from a different widely known online computer store for $99.99 (shipping extra).  Seagate gives away its branded version of Acronis True image for free.  It is not that hard to use.   I believe the L755 has a 500 GB 5400 rpm hard disc drive, so this Seagate may make the laptop run faster under some conditions.   Creating an image of the laptop HDD onto this 2nd HDD mounted in the enclosure may take hours, but consider the only other alternative, below:
         Anyone who thinks that solution is not feasible can just wait until their one and only hard disc drive fails or develops a software problem.    Without usable recovery discs, the machine must be dropped off or mailed to a service center.  Compare the waiting and the expense to have someone else solve that kind of problem with the effort and expense of preventing it.   If you don't mind being without your computer for a few days or weeks, go for the simple way.
         By the way, even the best home-burned optical discs are prone to develop unexpected failures after they are created.  I've never had a factory pressed optical disc properly stored develop a late failure.  If these work out of the box, they work a couple of years later.   The technologies behind a home-burned disc and a factory-pressed disc are different.
        Getting back to my original point, should your 1st HDD fail, and should you have a 2nd HDD with the cloned image of the 1st HDD, your recovery takes as long as it takes to remove HDD #1, installed HDD #2, and reboot your laptop, involving about 5 minutes of your time and perhaps a small screwdriver.  You can test whether or not your cloned backup works the same way, by installing HDD #2 and seeing if it works.   If you only have a single HDD, there is no good way to test your recovery media, since they overwrite your original HDD.

  • Cannot start Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator on my Satellite A300-15K

    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.

  • NB200-10Z: Can't make recovery disk using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator

    Hi Folks,
    I finally got round to buying a USB DVD drive in order to create recovery discs for my NB200-10Z. I got the following:
    * Samsung SE-S084C, External USB 2.0 Slimline 8X DVD Writer, Black
    I have twice tried to create a recovery disc and am now left with two trashed DVDs. The error codes in the error window are:

    Error code: 02016F-3C-00000000
    The first time the burning was stopped, the second time the verify failed.
    Can anyone shed light on this?

    *Short version:*
    Thank you to everybody who replied.
    I decided to try out the USB DVD drive on another laptop to perform a HDD backup operation...and it failed as well. Grrrr. Same DVD media (I just hadn't got round to getting new media to try).
    I think I shall discount the possiblility of the NB200 being at fault, and therefore shall consider this question answered on this forum.
    *Long version:*
    Well, I ended up using Virtual CD to "burn" an ISO file to HDD, and then copied that to another laptop to burn to DVD (not using the USB DVD drive, but the same DVD media type). Being the curious type I decided to perform a restore using the USB DVD drive. It got part way through installation then informs me that a CRC check had failed...argggg.
    So, to cut a long story even shorter, I ended up slipstreaming the Intel storage drivers into a Win XP ISO (created from a Win XP CD I had from another previous laptop) and creating a bootable USB drive. Now I have a clean install with all the NB200 driver installed. Phew.
    Actually, to think a bit more about it, I could have attempted to put the Toshiba recovery ISO onto the bootable USB drive, but I've done the clean install now anyway.
    For whatever reason, I had such trouble getting the NB200 BIOS to recognise the USB DVD drive in order to change the boot order (it wasn't in the option list). This was with the DVD in the tray, and without the DVD in the tray. Some investigation required on my part, I think, to determine exactly what is going on.

  • System Recovery for P755-S5390

    How do I restore my Toshiba Satellite P755-S5390 computer back to it's  original factory settings ? And will this possibly remove viruses/trojans that might have effected my computer and solve blue screen issues while running virus scans. I was told it will since the computer was able to successfully log into safe mode. Also, I have the Toshiba Recovery Media just lost the instructions to how to use them a copy of how to use them will also be beneficial
    Thank you in advance
    Solved!

    Complete instructions for doing an out-of-box recovery start on page 62 of your User's Guide. You also have a copy there on your desktop.  It will answer all your questions. And yes, your machine will be exactly like it was the day you first started it--nothing more, nothing less.

  • Can I save a Toshiba recovery after years of use?

    I saved a recovery when the computer was new, but that saved copy is not available now. Can I save a recovery again, even after years of use? I am having computer problems, so i plan to do a system restore and hope that all returns OK to an earlier good version. Before I start that system restore, however, I would like to have a recovery point saved as a backup in case the system restore does not work properly. I will start that system restore in a few hours, so any quick replies will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Can I save a Toshiba recovery after years of use?.  ...   I did a system restore and it worked great, so no need for a Toshiba recovery.
    That's fine, but you still need the recovery discs for possible use when, for instance, you need to restore to a new hard disk.
    The answer is Yes you can. For instructions, see the section Creating recovery media, which begins on p. 65 of the User's Guide.
