Tried Toshiba's system restore, now lost windows7

Greetings Toshiba's forum members, I own a satellite L755D-S5218 laptop. I was having some issues with it about a year ago and set it aside until tonight when I tried to fix it myself. I tried the power on and hold 0 recommendation from Toshiba's support suggestion to try and restore it to out of box condition. Everything was going good in the recovery process until I let go of the 0 key and the computer shut down in the wiping process. Now the laptop is giving me a BOOTMGR is missing and hold control alt del to reboot screen. The laptop will no longer stay powered on unless the 0 key is being held down or pressed in repeatedly. I do not have a recovery disc of windows and can't keep the laptop powered on unless the 0key is held. I'm curious to as why the laptop won't stay on and shut down in the middle of the restoring suggestion that seemed to cause my OS to be deleted. If anyone has had the same issue or some one could help me out or shine some light on the subject matter it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ryan.

Here's an update. Tried starting it for probably way too many times by now and I'm able to go through the power +0 restore prompt once again but the laptop keeps shutting off if the 0key isn't being held, also the computer screen will not light up unless I'm trying the 0key restore if that might help narrow it down for anyone reading this.

I have Firefox 17.0.1, by doing a system restore, I lost all my major default search engines, google, yahoo, bing, etc.; can't get them back

Firefox was working fine until I did a system restore to get rid of a DLL initialization failed error; it went back 20 days; an older version of firefox was there and it wouldn't update, then I noticed all my major search engines and defaults were gone, including google, yahoo, bing, etc. Some of the minor search engines were there. I couldn't even add them manually.
I tried using system restore again, going back like yesterday; it doesn't work. The files or something is wrong. How can I fix this to get my major search engines back, or being able to add them. In manage search engines there is a restore default box exists but it doesn't work.
I have windows xp professional. Please help, this is driving me crazy. I also tried typing a command in the run in the start menue to go into a safe mode and click on restore defaults. It also didn't work, no safe mode.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

TRYING TO DO SYSTEM RESTORE BUT "NO PARTITION FOUND"

I have an HP Pavillion g6 notebook that operates on windows 8. I was trying to do a windows system restore because my computer is having lots of issues lately and it is less than 1 year old. The fan is constantly running very loudly, computer is hot, there seems to be a process running in the background and flash plugin is constantly crashing on mozilla/I.E. The problems got even worse when I upgraded from windows8 to windows 8.1.
When I went to do the windows system restore through the hp support assistant, it gets stuck, and when i tried to do it while powering on by continuously hitting f11 to get to the boot menu, it says it cannot restore due to no partition... I also cannot do a complete HP reset because when i power on my computer now since the upgrade to windows 8.1, it seems to skip the point when I am supposed to hit esc for boot menu and goes instantly to the start screen.
I looked into this missing partition mess, and tried "test disk" as suggested in this post, which seems to only assert the fact that a partition is missing and gives me know way to add one.
PLEASE HELP! any advice (and please keep in mind while i do consider myself rather computer savvy, i'm no geek squad so dumb it down a bit) would be VERY HELPFUL! My computer is too new for this crap.

Please help me- system restore question- lost file

If someone could help me with this because that would be great. i I was writing my midterm paper on microsoft word and i accedently saved new work over my old without realizing it. So now I I lost my original copy. I know when I had windows I could do a system restore and some of my files would come back. Is there anyway to do this on my mac? I feel sick over this because I have spent countless hours on this paper. Please help

Are you saying that you are not using Time Machine? Or are you asking how to get back the older file using TM?

I had to do a system restore and lost all my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

I did not know that if I did a system restore that I would loose all my bookmarks.

It is possible that the system restore restored an older copy of the profiles.ini file that doesn't have your current Firefox profile folder.

You can check if there are more profile folders and if that is the case then you can either recover data from that profile or use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click the "Choose Folder" button and browse to that lost profile folder to re-register this lost profile. Firefox will recognize that profile and you should have all data back.

System Restore --- Now where are those apps I bought that didn't sync?

Main story:
Today, I went to sync my lil IPhone and it asked me if I wanted to install a new update. Well, thinking that this update would help everything, and make it faster, I accepted. When all is downloaded and it is half way into the install, I get an error without a number saying that "in order to connect to ITunes," I would need to do a complete Restore, without even syncing my IPhone to my computer.
((Went to the IStore nearest me, and they got the restore fixed))
However, here is the Main Problem:
I bought $$ some apps that show up on my history in my main account on apple... but I do not have these programs. I bet they are floating somewhere... but I rather need them and don't have a clue on getting them back after I restored my 3G to a nothing.
Funny thing is, the IPhone, mine at least, is less than 1 month old.
Thank you for the help,
Syl

I haven't had this problem, but sometimes there were apps I purchased and wanted them when I had no access to my computer. So I tried one and it gave a popup message saying "You have already purchased this item. To download it again for free, select ok" Now I cannot recall if they were synced to my computer before I did that, but you would figure when you buy apps you use the password so there is a record of on your account somewhere. Plus you should get emails saying you bought them, so you do own a copy of the app. If you can try a free one if you had any and see if it gives the same message, if it does then you should be able to download them again and get that message.

On updating my IPAD software my laptop turned off. My IPAD is showing the USB - ITunes logo. I have tried a full system restore once and this hasnt worked. ITunes seems to think my IPad is and Iphone 4 despite turning everything off and reconnecting.

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

Cannot use system restore and cant connect to internet?

I have a 1 month old Satellite - L455d-s5976....was working fine, really liked it until today...In the middle of checking email the laptop shutoff on its own, then when I turned it back on I cannot connect to interenet via internet explorer...whats odd though is it does "connect" I presume becuase it was able to update the wireless adapter driver when I tried it... No matter what I do, I cannot get to any internet sites, yet it shows Im connected to my network etc.... So, I tried to use system restore multiple times...every time it says it cant complete becuase i may have virus software blocking a file etc...but I dont have any virus software??? Just windows firewall, and I tried disabling thta too...Help please!!!! I bought this laptop mainly for internet use...amazing its broke in one month!

Have you tried resetting your router and modem?
I have seen many cases where simply resetting the wireless router and modem have fixed the issue. Try that and then restart the laptop.
A free antivirus anti spyware program that is very good is Microsoft Security Essentials.

After doing a system restore, Firefox won't load pages.

I restored my laptop a couple of days ago (from a previous date, not a full system restore), now firefox will open to the home page (google), but will not load any other page. It doesn't even bring up the "page won't load" page, it just continually says 'connecting' forever. I also noticed, even when I first open firefox, and it opens the google homepage, it doesn't have google.com in the address bar, it has 'about:home'. Internet explorer seems to be working fine, and my internet connection is fine, so I am not sure what the problem seems to be.

hello rlyslowff, one thing you could try is to remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall/security software and let it detect the program again...
please also [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ update your plugins] (some of them are out-dated & have security vulnerabilities that are actively exploited on the web).
in case this didn't solve the issue, go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum, as this might give us further clues what is going on...

System Restore does not work (Windows 7)

I believe that my internal wireless network card has died although the laptop is only 8 months old, but that's another issue.
I'm running Windows 7, and I tried to have system restore backup to a few days ago. There have been no changes to the computer in this time other than Windows update. After performing system restore and rebooting, I have a message that system restore was cancelled because there was a file in use. It suggested I disable anti-virus protection. After disabling that, I tried system restore once again. The computer seemed to be doing it right, but after reboot, I got the same message that it could not be performed due to a file in use.
I've turned off everything I can think of, does anybody know why might be causing system restore to stop and how it could be corrected?
Thanks

If you cannot do a System Restore from the Recovery Environment (as Archie suggested), then probably the restore points have become corrupt. That's not uncommon.
To repair that, turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all the previous restore points.
Turn System Restore on or off
If you post again, tell us which computer you have.
