You may be able to recover directly from an image on the hard drive. If not, order the recovery disc from Toshiba.

See the section System Recovery Options on p. 3-8 of the User's Manual (attached).

Satellite L300-110 - How to recover without loosing data on the HDD?

Hello all
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110
The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without lose any data located in the hard disk drive?

Hello
A recovery installation from the recovery disk without loosing data on the HDD isnt possible. If you use the Toshiba recovery disk the whole HDD will be formatted so you must backup the data first.
The only way I know is to use the HDD recovery function in the advanced boot menu. The HDD recovery function formats only the first partition of the notebook and all data that you have stored on the second partition are available after recovery.

Satellite L550D-13V - How to recover without recovery disks?

Hi together,
I got a big problem. Win 7 Home Premium 64 BIT crashed on my satellite L550D-13V.
I tried to repair but it doesn't work. So I decided to recover via HDD Utility.
Everything seems to be okay but in the end the tool said that errors occured. I tried to recover again but the process aborted with bluescreen "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" this time.
After reboot system told me that no bootmgr is available. I tried to boot by using recovery disk but it also seems to be faulty because the system cannot not boot from the disks.
And there's my problem. I am unable to boot / recover now. Volume D seems to be okay - the HDD utility files are still available but I cannot create new recovery disks and it is not possible to boot into HDD utility tool.
Do you have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance and regards
Danny

Hi
The story is strange
Im wondering why you are not able to boot from the Recovery disk?
Did you use the created recovery disk in the past or did you try this disk for the first time?
However, regarding the error message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
I googled for that and it seems that this could be related to memory fault.
Possibly one of the modules malfunctions.
Of course this is just an personal opinion
If an HDD folder is available on your HDD, then there is a small chance to get the HDD recovery to work. Here a interesting thread:

Memory Upgrade on Satellite L40-15G

I have a Toshiba L40-15G with 1GB DDR2 ram (2x512MB). It works at a frequency of 266Mhz.
I want to upgrade to 2GB of ram by going 2x1GB sticks or a 2GB stick.
However, i don't know if the 2GB stick will be accepted on one slot.
Should i buy a 2GB stick or 2 1GB sticks?
And, can the frequency of the new sticks be higher? like 800Mhz/500Mhz?
Message was edited by: Ruixituh

Hi
The memory module frequency depends on the chipsets FSB (front side bus)
If the FSB is limited to 266Mhz then your modules will run only with 266Mhz even the modules would support a faster speed.
As far as I know the notebook supports the Intel GL960 Express Chipset.
This chipset handles max 2Gb RAM so you could use only 2 x 1GB RAM modules.
I thing the chipset will handle 533Mhz

Satellite Pro M30 - how to recover the data?

I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Sat Pro M30 running XP Pro, just after the In Touch with Toshiba screen.
Using the Revovery DVD that came with the computer when purchased and entering advanced mode I'm trying to use check local Image File. It doesn't seem to find any Image file. Is it possible to recover or rebuild image file?
There are some data I would like to recover from the HD so I'm trying to avoid reinstalling the system until I've recovered the files.
Have tried to read from the HD using a cabinette and a new NP running Vista but it didn't work. Is there a general problem reading a XP HD from VISTA?
Any suggestions how to recover the data would be very much appreciated!
Johan

cabinette ? Do you mean "USB Hard Disk Caddy" ?
To recover your data, you can connect the HDD using a USB Adapter to another PC running XP or Vista. The drive should show up as a Drive letter (such as E: Drive), and you will be able to copy the files.
When you say "but it didn't work", what was the problem exactly?

Satellite L40-18Z: How to merge two partitions into one partition?

Hello,
I have a satellite L40 with a hard disk drive partitioned into two ( C and E ), one having 37GB capacity the other almonst 36 GB.
The C drive is almost full and the E drive almost empty. I would like to take away the partition and have just one drive, is this possible.
Any advice would be gratefully received. I am not a techi so be kind.
Regards
Peter

Hi
Of course this is possible
You can do this in disk management.
Just click right on My Computer -> Manage
Here choose disk management.
Now you have to delete the E partition. Then the free space could be added to the C partition.
But note; before you would do this, create the recovery disk (if you didnt this in the past.)

Satellite Pro 2100; How to recover additional software without recovery CD?

How can I recover the bundled WinDVD and Drag'n Drop CD software for my Satellite Pro 2100 without the recovery disk?
Message was edited by: yirms

This is not possible because this additional software is not available on the Toshiba download page why?
Because this is not a Toshiba software but software from 3rd party manufacturers.
This software is bundled with Recovery disk and can be used only with your notebook!
I think this has something to do with the licence issues

Satellite A350-12D - How to recover from recovery DVD?

Hey!
Recently i purchased a Toshiba A350 disc. I've format both the discs and went with a clean sweap install of windows vista. Now, a few months later i want to use the Toshiba Recovery Discs i made on the first startup, to recover my Toshiba laptop and set it back to the default installation.
With the tool to create Toshiba Recovery Discs, i had to make 2 recovery discs. The first DVD contains the Windows installation, and the 2nd DVD contains SWM files.
I started the recovery by putting recovery disc 1 in my DVD player and boot it up. After boot it installed Windows Vista, and it never asked for DVD2. After the installation, I have a clean Windows Vista, but no Toshiba pre installed drivers, software etc.
How can I recover my laptop to the default settings, the way i bought it?
thnx for ur awnser,
sincerely, Frank
null

Hi
Usually the Toshiba Recovery disk should contain the image.
The image is the package which contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers/tools and the additional software.
The Toshiba Recovery disk Creator can create the Recovery disk using the image on the notebook and therefore its not understandable for me and I cannot believe why you get only clean Vista without the Toshiba drivers and tools and 3rd party software.
You did everything right. In order to recover the notebook, you have to boot from Recovery disk and have to follow the instruction on the screen.
Thats all.
PS: I the drivers and tools are really missing then you could download it from here:

Satellite L40-143 - How to Change the Language of Vista?

Hello all,
I bought a L40-143 Toshiba Laptop. The vista version is a German Version.
I tried to reinstall with recover CD, but then there is no use of it.
Can any body help me for changing the language?

As far as I know notebooks are country specific products and it is logic that notebook in Germany will be preinstalled with German language. If you need OS on different language you must buy country specific Microsoft installations DVD. You can order it over the Internet.

Satellite A40-210 - How to recover XP but disk turns out to run Windows 98?

Ok, I've got a dinausour: Satellite A40-210 But hey, it ran just fine until an antivirus wiped out something crucial (or at least that's what I think), as Windows is no longer able to startup.
Now the error is given: system32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys is unavailable or broken.
I still got my recovery-disks (all 3 of them)
1: tools&utilities CD-Rom
2:product recovery CD-Rom 1
3:product recovery CD-Rom 2
Nr 1 is not responding as reboot and the Product recovery CD-Rom 1 turns out to "recover" Windows 98.
Thing is, I would like to recover at least photos and some documents and whenever possible: get to use it again with all the programes etc that were installed on the hard-disk...
What/how to do this?
As the message of '98 frightens me: this will delete all previous info on disk.
Help, please!

If moving the hard drive to an external enclosure is not convenient, it should be possible to use a Linux live CD to find your files and transfer them to a USB drive.
I managed this with an old laptop whose Windows 2000 installation stopped working. In that instance, it was simply a matter of booting from a Linux live CD (I used Puppy Linux, as it has modest RAM demands). Once the Linux system was up and running in RAM, it allowed me to mount the Windows partition, and to read the files and photos I wanted to recover. It also allowed me copy those files to a USB flash drive.
Easier than I expected. And meant that, with my date safely copied elsewhere, I could relax and try to repair/reinstall the Windows system.

Re: Satellite L350-16U - How to recover HDD password?

I forget my massword of HDD and I can't restart my system.
How can I recover my password HDD in my notebook L350-16U?
Thanks

hi foued,
hi all,
i'll try to bring some light in this discussion....
first of all
? what is hdd password and how it works:
the password is stored on the hdd and crypts the content to protect it from unauthorized access.
lost password means: all data lost!
but there is hope: some data recovery companies maybe are able to reset this password, search for "kroll ontrack"
?new hdd required: no - only if you dont need your data,
there is an option to initialize your hdd (option in bios) *but* you will loose all data!
how it works?:the bios calls a routine in the hdd controller that formats the hdd, after that you have a blank hdd - data cant be recovered from this point!
but you got the hdd in a fresh state!
there are some "cool" scripts/methods/tools around in the internet... i wouldnt try this....
this leads you to an unusable hdd and you will not be able to recover...
sorry but the only way to get your data back is to send some money or
forget your data and install the system again after unlocking the hdd (delete whole disk data by controller)...
this is a cool security hardware stuff - no way to break!

NB100-12A: How to recover without a disk?

I have had my NB100 for nearly a year now and all was fine. I recently got a virus that no matter what Anti-virus I used I could not get rid of. Yesterday my notebook stopped booting into windows altogether. It will not even boot into safe mode.
I would like to do a full system recovery however I am currently travelling around the U.S and I left my recovery CD in Ireland.
So my question is Can I recover my system using a recovery partition on the HDD or is there a way to download the recovery software, copy it onto a usb key, and boot from there?
Any help is greatly appriciated, Thanks

Hi
Im not sure if this is possible on you NB100.
Usually the HDD recovery could be started pressing F8 button (while powering on)
There you should see the option Repair my Computer. Choose this and then you should see Toshiba HDD recovery.
But note; this is procedure for common notebooks equipped with HDD recovery Im not quite sure if your NB100 support this!

Re: Satellite L40-17U: How can I disable WLan switcher?

Hi, there!
How can I disable wi-fi switcher, which on the front of the laptop under the power, battery and hdd leds?
If it possible :)
Thanks.

Sorry buddy but I do not understand why you want to do this. I believe you are the first one who ask something like this. Can you please tell me why you want to do this?
If you do not want to use WLAN switch it OFF and be happy?
