Toshiba satellite windows 8/8.1 reset partition not 'detected' by window and cannot refresh.

it is not the first toshiba i purchase and i will not be able to purchase since i quitted my previous brand due to problems always surfacing (acer always break, toshiba was supposed to be decent).
But now i need to refresh window and i past over 60hours to try to fix the issue to arrive to this point : i need to refresh windows back to original state, and windows do not 'know' the recovery partition is right under its nose (doupt it is corrupted, i made a backup image of the current hard drive just in case, and right after i did trigger the refreshing back to factory, it worked, but windows 8.1 'broke' a few minutes aways from the final step to download windows 10...
Hard drive could not be recovered so i had to CMD/Clean the hard drive and re-install the old 'slowered/infected' image backup i had and now it refuse to detect the partition wit the window refreshing part.
Snapshot show the disks, partition at the end, the 11go size is the refreshing partition and wit another program it can be seen it is NOT empty...
Partiton 1-2-3 are the current system that slowered and need to be refreshed, i need to refresh and recover my recovery partiton...
i am also downloading windows 8.1 enterprise Iso
(9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_FR-FR-IR3_CENA_X64FREE_FR-FR_DV9.ISO)
Il burn it on a DVD to be able to use it as the recovery console is kind of down aswell due to the same issue wi the refreshing not being accessible.         having some thecnician skills myself, if you specefy how to fix it i can, i been searching for solutions and doing them for the past week and there went all my vacations... but seriously, i am NOT going to pursashe another toshiba wen this current notebook lifeline end if i cannot get this fixed soon. i left others brands permanantly due to trouble it caused and forced me to become thechnician to fix them. i know it part have to do wit window 8 and 8.1 but why dint you just let us choice to get window 7 wen pursashing it back in the recent years ? oh and btw i dont know WHY my keyboard suddently inducing ''dual different keys'' even on the Bios, so if there is also some info/fix about this or even inform me of were and price to get the keyboard PIECE delivered so i can change it (no, extended waranty ended few months ago, and i am NOT sending the only comp i have by the mail i rather never fix it and change to another brand as i need the comp for my work all time, i cannot let it go for even few days)

    my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

    Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

    Today i bought a A300 notebook

    To be honest I dont understand your question
    If you have formatted the second HDD this should not be a problem to start Windows.
    Have you burned the recovery disk? Then boot from it and install the notebook.

  • HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in?  I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID.  I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

    how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window?  An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help.  Thanks.

    Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
    If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

  • Satellite A660 DVD/CD-ROM drive does not detect discs

    Hi there,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a MAT****A BD-CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM drive. It is about 18 months old and recently I have noticed that it does not recognise any CDs/DVDs. It makes a couple of noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in My Computer view.
    Please note there seems to be no apparent problems with the drive:
    - It is present in My Computer
    - The device is working properly in device manager
    Things I have already tried:
    - Run Microsoft FixIt and CD-ROM/DVD Troubleshooter - both said it could not recognise media
    - Deleted upper filter in the registry as per many suggestions (no lower filter present)
    - Updated driver
    I don't know what else to do. Please help as this is frustrating for a relatively new notebook which never is moved from my desk (don't expect many damaged parts).
    Cheers

    As I said: clean the laser lens
    If you open the CD/DVD drive you will see the small laser lens.
    Use cotton wool tip and alcohol

  • Pen drive partition not detected

    good evening,
    since i formatted my pen drive on windows with fat16/32 the sticks' partition doesn't show up anymore in /dev. there's just a new /dev/sdx and even cfdisk doesn't like the mbr anymore. so i formatted it on linux with mkfs.vfat to fat16/32 (wiped the mbr with dd first) and now windows doesn't like the stick anymore (says the drive isn't formatted) - fortunately might someone say but i'd like to use it on both os'.
    this is the fat16 formatted mbr from linux:

    so here are my questions:
    why does windows give a fuck on standards? (not recognizing standard mbr and ignoring partitiontable offset at 0x1be - no wonder cfdisk goes crazy) and how the heck do i get the stick working again on both os'? any special trick with mkfs.vfat?
    thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your further replies!
    So i tried to format the device with the -I switch and the stick didn't work.. no matter how long i wait, there's no partition initialized at any time. I also got a brandnew stick from a store today and it didn't work from scratch with the delivered mbr - weird..
    And according to the 'windows only likes the first partition'-thingie.. ridiculous - i'm currently at a point where nothing surprises me anymore about windows and it's incredible capability of incompatibility.

  • Bios RAID Partition Not Detected at Boot

    Hello everybody,
    I've got a problem that's really a minor annoyance.  I have two 1TB hdds set up in RAID-0 and my system (Arch x64) on a separate ssd.  When I boot up, the RAID volume is not detected automatically.  I have to manually run partprobe, then the partition is detected and I can mount it as expected.
    I've been unsuccessful as to finding a solution and was hoping you guys could help.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance, and let me know if you need any more information.

    Yeah, it's a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard, and I'm using the two Marvell sata ports for the RAID.  It's detected and works flawlessly in Windows; the RAID0 volume is formatted NTFS.
    And, like I said, when I load up Arch, after I run partprobe as root, I can mount and use the volume just as well as I can in Windows.  I'd just like to have it all done automatically.

  • Keyword window does not show all keywords and cannot be resized

    I have hundreds of keywords in my iPhoto library. I used to use bullstorm's keyword manager to add keywords to my photos and filter my photos when looking for something specific. With iPhoto '11, this plugin no longer works. That is not apple's fault. However, now that I have to use iPhoto's inherent keyword manager, I have found what I think is a very frustrating bug.
    If you have hundreds of keywords and you try to use iPhoto's filter mechanism - click on Search in the lower toolbar, then click on 'keyword' to bring up the keyword window - the following happens. The popup window only has 4 columns of keywords and cannot be resized. In my window, I have so many keywords that the keyword window flows off the screen, obstructing any keyword starting with a-i. I only see keywords starting with the letter i-z. It is thus impossible for me filter my search by any keyword starting with a letter at the beginning of the alphabet. I have the biggest iMac screen, so this is not just a laptop or small screen issue.
    I think in order for this keyword function to be useful, this bug needs to be fixed. The window should either be scrollable or resizable.
    Please apple - fix this!!!

    Please apple - fix this!!!
    I quite agree, but Apple aren't here. There are only other Users here. It's all explained in the Trms of Use.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to the developers.
    And, of course, in the meantime, Smart Albums will work.

  • Maintaining session across multiple browser windows and page refreshes

    Hi there,
    We're currently developing a Flex application with a couple of session-related requirements that we're not sure how to solve. Before we jump in and maybe go about things in the wrong way, I thought I'd post and see if anyone here knows of some elegant solutions!
    Currently, when our Flex app starts the user is presented with a log-in screen which authenticates the user against our server. Client-server communication is done through BlazeDS.
    Our first requirement is the ability to open a new browser window from Actionscript - this window will load a pdf document. The servlet that serves this pdf should deny the request if the user is not already logged in. The only way we can see to do this so far is to open the pdf url using navigateToUrl() with the '_blank' target, passing a jsessionid token as a url parameter. Is there a better way to preserve session state when opening a new window?
    The second requirement is to preserve some application and session across browser refreshes. Our Flex app has several screens that the user can tab between. If the user hits F5 or the refresh button in their browser, we'd like the app to return to the same screen after the refresh. I've been looking into using BrowserManager to add a fragment such as #screen=2 to the url, but of course we only want the app to display screen 2 if the user has already authenticated with the server. Is there a way to reuse the user's existing session credentials after a page refresh?
    Many thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer on this. It could very well be that we're missing something about how BlazeDS uses / exposes session credentials that would make all of this easier to implement than we currently realise!

    We use javascript to pass values between a 'data look up' window and the originating Servlet. If this is of any use, I can send you some examples.

  • Intermittent "Camera not Detected" with D90 and Windows 7

    I just installed and set up LIghtroom 4 on a Windows7 PC. We are having intermittent problems shooting tethered with a Nikon D90. We have successfully been able to tether the D90 to and capture images in Lightroom. But now we are frequently receiving the "Camera not Detected" indicator in the tethered capture window.
    It seems that Windows 7 is taking control of the camera away from Lightroom. Is that possible? Is there some setting in Lightroom to override Windows?

    it has to be plugged into the machine before you power on the machine, it is not hot swapable like on OSX
