Toshiba Satellite L650-07U, Hard disk failure and replacement

Hi all,
I have Toshiba Satellite L650-07U Laptop, Model: PSK1EC-0700Q with 4GB RAM, 650GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium installed. At the time of first use, i made Recovery DVDs which took 4 blank DVDs using Recovery media creator.
From 2 weeks it is giving problem, at start its slowdown with every application, then suddenly it started Hard disk failure error and ask to backup important files. From that instant i did all my backup save in another portable Hard drive.
I had hiren boot CD, and ran RAM test and found it OK, and then run Hard Disk test and found few bad sectors at few certain point, As 650GB Hard disk was taking alot time of time for checking bad sectors, so i stopped that application.
First I tried Recovery DVDs to restore Windows, but it failed as Laptop DVD-Writer was unable to boot from those created DVDs (DVDs are OK as had checked it on Desktop computer DVD-ROM), Laptop DVD-Writer is also working as I test few more bootable CDs and it booted perfectly, but it is not booting from Recovery DVDs.
Than i tried to restore from Recovery partition using Factory restore settings, it erases all data and reinstall new and fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It works fine for few hours than again pops up Hard Disk Failure message again and again. I searched here in Toshiba Forum and have found similar problem with other members and finally decided that it need to replace Hard Disk with new one. As It is now two and a half month old, thats why i need to buy new Hard Disk for my Laptop.
I checked all partitions of drive using Hiren Boot CD, and had found that there are four default partitions in Toshiba original laptop drive,
One hidden partition of 1.5 GB
One hidden partition of almost 21 GB
One hidden partition of almost 12 GB
One partition of 561 GB, which was the original partition where windows 7 was installed along with all of my Data.
Now I want to replace faulty drive with a new one and have a lot of question in my mind which I need to share with you guys.
At the time of first use I installed Windows 7 64 bit edition, and made Recovery DVDs, and at second time of restore to factory setting I had installed Windows 7 32 bit. I have confusion about recovery DVDs (which is not booting from default DVD-Writer of Laptop), either it has 64 Bit recovery data or 32 bit? Or have both 64 and 32 bit Data.
Toshiba restore to factory setting without using any recovery DVD/USB is the best possible way to restore Windows 7, How can I make same recover hidden partitions from original/faulty hard drives to new hard drive partitions? Is this possible and how?
On Default hard drive there was one partition of 561GB instead of two or more partitions. Is this possible to split partitions in new hard drives instead of one big partition?
As Recovery DVDs are not able to boot from laptop default DVD-Writer, is it possible to open those DVDs on another System and copy tem in USB drive and use it for booting? If it is possible than please show me the steps for making bootable USB from these Recovery DVDs.
Thanks,
masterleous
Solved!

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.

Toshiba Satellite L650 - 14F : Experiences?

Hi, I just bought new laptop recently. Because of my job I had to make a quick start so I installed win 7 on it etc... Now I have a little bit of time to fiddle around with linux, so I thought of installing Arch distro. Did it a few times on a virtual box, but from my experience virtual box is just too idyllic environment to actually simulate real problems one can encounter during installation e.g. internet access.
Satellite L650 really have great performances, and I'm really satisfied with how it works, but I had problems connecting to internet when I fresh installed win7. Usually windows handle this automatically when I connect with cable, and then wireless drivers are downloaded etc... but I had install drivers to be able to connect over cable at first place.
So, because of that, I'm wondering if anyone had any experience with Satellite L650, and connecting him to internet or any other problems while installing arch? Also, I'd like to keep windows on my pc. I currently have one and only partition of ~500 gigs with windows on it, so Is it advisable to prepare partitions with windows partitioner in advance to prevent any "whoops, I accidentally erased my windows partition" problems?
(Yes, yes, I saw wiki on how to configure network, etc.. but I'd like to skip that step if possible )

It is the 10ec:8136 that identifies my card.
It is good that your system identifies the NIC in lspci. That ifconfig -a does not show it says that the kernel could not find a module to support your interface. You will need to find the correct driver for the NIC (based upon that 32 bit signature), and install it such that the kernel can find it.
Once we find it, getting it into your system is another matter. You said USB is not working. Can you boot from the hard disk or must you boot from CD? If you can boot from Disk, can you mount the CD? That might be a way to import the needed driver.
ok, so if I'm correct, this is it:
for 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1) after running lspci -n | grep 02:00 I got this:
02:00.0 0200: 1969:2060 (rev c1)
and for 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)
03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4727 (rev 01)
hope you can make something out of this, btw, wired connection is my priority now so I hope you can help. thanks!

Re: Toshiba Satellite L650 - 12Z webcam initialization failed

Hi, I need your help.
My webcam wont work anymore. I uninstalled and installed the web camera application downloaded from the support website but didnt work. I did a fresh OS install but unfortunately it didnt work. I tried looking it up in the device manager but I didnt see any web camera.
This is only like a month old, please help.. thx

Hi buddy,
Did you reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disk or a normal Microsoft disk?
If you use Toshiba recovery disk for reinstalling, everything will be restored back to factory settings and should work properly because all drivers and tools will be installed automatically.
If it doesnt work it seems to be a hardware malfunction and you should contact an authorized service provider in your country. The guys can order new spare parts and repair this under warranty.

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?

Re: Can't perform factory reset to Satellite L650

Hi support team,
Hope you are well :)
I have some troubles and hope you will help me to resolve them. Here is the description of my problem:
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 - 17R laptop which I want to reset to factory defaults. I have used the following instructions to do that (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm), but when I'm pressing to the F8 upon notebook's startup there appears a list of choises on the display which doesn't contain "Repair Your Computer" or "?????????????? ???????" or something like that. The first entry in that list is "Safe Mode", second is "Safe Mode With Networking" and so on. Also I've tried the other method described in lots of places in the internet, that is to press 0 and power buttons together when turning on the laptop. In this case again it starts to do things as described in the instructions (for example here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5dEOm1EJBw): it beeps then, when I'm releasing the 0 button, it prints "starting Windows" and shows Windows logo, after that it turns on as always and no other dialog boxes are shown.
Questions:
Is there an alternative way to do the factory reset?
I have doubts that the "Toshiba HDD recovery" tool of my laptop is corrupted, so is it possible to download that tool from the internet, put it on dvd disk and install from there? If yes, then can you please give me a link of that tool for my model?
Best Regards,
Mihran Hovsepyan.

Hello Mihran and welcome in Toshiba forum
Lets see what is wrong there.
At first some general info. Every new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled with original recovery image. This image is also saved on HDD on separate partition. With original factory settings Repair my computer option will be listed in Advanced boot options (F8 at start-up) and HDD recovery option can be done as described in Toshiba document that you posted in your first posting. If nothing is changed this option will be there and you will be able to do HDD recovery installation again ad again.
> when I'm pressing to the F8 upon notebook's startup there appears a list of choises on the display which doesn't contain "Repair Your Computer"
This will happen if you have installed own OS version using Microsoft installation disc. After doing this option Repair my computer will disappear and you will not be able to start HDD recovery installation anymore.
> Is there an alternative way to do the factory reset?
Yes. You must use recovery DVD disc for OS installation. After doing this everything will be as before. Repair my computer option will be available again and you will havce original factory settings again.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Re: Satellite L650 PSK1JA: cannot play 2nd Life due to old GPU driver

Hi,
i have a windows 7, Toshiba Satellite L650 PSK1JA-0K4017, video card is ATI mobility Radeon HD5650 and Im unable to use second life ( everything in the worlds is a pink colour) and its unusable because i need an updated display driver
I have tried the AMD website and am unable to install their drivers as they say they are not compatible and i need to obtain my driver from the manufacturer (toshiba)
Trouble is that Toshiba display driver is very outdated 15/03/2010
When are they ever going to update this particular driver and if not does anyone know of a workaround for this issue.
Why is the driver so old.?? If i cant fix this issue i'll be purchasing a new laptop and it definitely wont be a Toshiba again. Useless if they never update their drivers.

I think you have to understand that the L650 is a 2010 / early 2011 model - support would have been offered through the product life cycle and for some time afterwards. Most vendors will issue updated drivers where it solves a problem NOT just because to component manufacturer has "tweaked" it and made it version 2.1.1.1.1 rather than 2.1.1.1.0 ie "why fix something that isnt broken" which can make new issues
In saying that i have updated AMD drivers using the AMD reference drivers many times on Toshiba's where the Official Toshiba driver is outdated and have not had an issue, even if there was one you just boot into safe made and reinstall teh original driver - either the one the one the unit shipped with in the TOSAPINS folder or download the last Official update from Toshiba prior to trying the AMD sources driver.
Or sometimes you can download the latest AMD Catalyst Control software from Toshiba - just choose a newer model ie L50D - this gives you the option of either unpacking the driver to a Temp location where you can manually install OR automatic install - automatic install may check the model and fail so you may need to manually install as per previous post.
just bear in mind Toshiba has one of the best reliability scores in the industry - choosing another brand due to 3+ year old unit not having Official current drivers is totally your decision, and buying a brand that is more likely to have a major fault within 3 years is a choice you are welcome to make - from my eperience the choice is easy :)

Satellite L650-170 (PSK1JE) Setup Failure

Today i purchased a toshiba Satellite L650-170 (PSK1JE), i turned it on, and yay, I had to sit through a 2 hour long setup.
After 2 hours, it restarted for the 10+th time, and this time, instead of succesfully installing one of the 42 things it had to install,
it didnt start up, the only thing that was on the screen was a loading bar, with the text above saying it was starting the services
It did not do anything, i could just leave it there for an hour, "starting services"
So i tried to repair it, started it up, F8, and guess what, there was no Repair Computer option(wich should be there!),
all the other options were available, such as safe mode, so i tried safe mode
Even in safe mode the loading bar popped up, starting the services, and it crashed there.
I tried to recover it with a windows 7 recovery disk (wich i had to download and burn myself on another laptop..!)
Even with a recovery disk, it only gave me errors, it was unable to start the recovery
So yeah, now were about 6 hours later, ive successfully installed a trial of a different version of windows 7 on it,
Now all i have to do is download about 30 drivers from your website, and install them one by one, and restart the computer 30 times
I installed the webcam driver, restarted like it told me to, and i got a message that it was missing a dll file.
Do you have a disk available for download that contains the regular windows 7 home premium setup? with all the proper drivers?
Because mine was bugged obviously. Im not going to download 30 drivers that will not work on the current win 7 i have installed on it.
Regards,
Philipp.

Recovery disk is not downloadable
First of all the notebook should contain HDD recovery option which could be started pressing F8 -> Repair my Computer -> HDD recovery.
Its strange that you didnt find this option
Here is documentation how to start the HDD recovery. But of course this would work only if the HDD was not formatted and OS has not been changed
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=58
However, it seems you have formatted the HDD using other Windows OS.
If you want to get recovery disk then you can purchase this from here:

Hi lolke,
I can only tell you that friend of me has Satellite L650 too and its the same, no holes on the bottom side. So everything is ok with your notebook, there is no problem!!!
I assume Satellite L650 as pretty good fan and cooling so the wholes are not necessary.
Just have fun with your new notebook! :)

Satellite L650-10H - Multiple Win 7 entries in boot manager

I have Toshiba Satellite L650-10H and i recently reinstalled my Win 7 64-bit.
There is no problem at all except that at the notebook start i get this [http://tinypic.com/r/se7uja/6] .
3 Win 7 entries in the boot manager
I have to always choose the first one and everything is fine.
Its like the old copy of win didnt remove although a i have formated the discs...
Is there any option to get rid of it?
I dont mind reinstalling again if i know it will help .

> Just wonder if i remove the program after i made the changes, will it stay or it will pop up again at startup?
No, the changes will stay.
> And the second problem is that it solved my problem just partially.
>I would like to somehow remove the 2 copies of Win that i dont need if it is possible.
>This program just "hide" them.
I assume you installed both OS on different partitions right?
In such case just remove/delete the partition where the other Win 7 systems are installed.
You can do that in Disk Management (right click on My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management)

Can I use more than one flash-drive for ready-boost on Satellite L650/0ed

Hi,
I have a toshiba Satellite L650/0ed, is it alright if i use more than one 8gb flash-drive for 'ready boost' - what is the maximum number of flash-drives use can dedicate to 'ready-boost'.
In addition, if i use a 16gb flash-drive, will this dedicate more memory to 'ready-boost'.
Why is the seagate 1tb 3.5 expansion drive not compatible for ready-boost.
Thank you,
-Brent907

Hi mate
Please check this Microsoft page which describes the ReadyBosst
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/readyboost
There you can find this statement:
+ReadyBoost works with most flash storage devices. In Windows 7, it can handle more flash memory and even multiple devices *up to eight* , for a maximum 256 gigabytes (GB) of additional memory.+
Hopefully this can be helpful!

Satellite L650 - Bluetooth switches on automatically

I'm using Toshiba Satellite L650-I5310. It hav a shortcut key for bluetooth enable/disable. whenever i disable the bluetooth, after a few seconds it again enables automatically.
plz help me how to get rid of this problem.
Sumit(India)

Hi sumit_king7,
What short key you are using exactly for disabling Bluetooth?
As far as I know you can do this using FN+F8 key combination.
Alternative I would recommend updating the Bluetooth software. Just look on the Toshiba Bluetooth portal to download the newest version.
And before you install it, remove the old version first and restart the notebook.

Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of CDs or DVD's after BIOS update

While copying DVD's I was asked to do a bios upgrade from the software that came on my laptop, so i thought coming from toshibsa it should be safe. I closed all my applications and let the update happen, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd's.
Now my dvd writer does not read most of my cds or DVD's,originals as well.
I have managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after quite a battle before the update to see if i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have two days to copy 100 DVD's for a client and i am unable to do this now,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop running windows 7 64 bit 8 gigs memory with a SSD Hard drive

> i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it
I dont think that BIOS is the problem here the point is that the CD and DVD support details are stored in the CD/DVD drive firmware and NOT in the notebook BIOS.
So in my opinion the BIOS update is not the reason for your issue.
I think you should check if laser lens cleaning would help you to read the disks.
Use an cotton wool tip and alcohol fluid to clean gently the laser lens.
