Trouble with Product Recovery for Satellite L450 D

Hi,
I've had a big problem with my L450 D and was advised by the warranty provider to use the Product Recovery disc. I have done this but I am unable to get past the following command:
x:\windows\system32>
Can anyone tell me what this means and how I can get past it to continue with product recovery on my laptop please?
Many thanks

> have restarted but when I enter the HDD1.....
Why HDD1 if you use recovery disc?
Start your notebook and press F12. When the boot menu is shown put recovery disc in optical disc drive. Choose CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.
Follow the menu on the screen and see what will happen. at first the whole image will be copied to second partition and when it is finished OS installation will start.
If the recovery installation cannot be done properly either is installation image screwed-up or your HDD make problems.
Sorry but I don't have other explanation for this.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Error with Product Recovery. Now won't boot. Satellite Pro A40

Hello,
I tried to use my product recovery cd to reinstall windows so that the computer would be back to an 'as new' state. However, when using disk one and at about 25% progress it crashed on me saying it couldn't read the disk. Now when i attempt to boot it says 'Please Insert System Disk and press any key' i do so but i just get the same message repeated. It does this is if i try to book from the hardrive or the cd.
Whats my next step, how can i get my computer back!?
Cheers

Hmmm its not easy to say why you couldnt finish the installation. For me it looks like the Recovery CD would be faulty.
Anyway, the message says that no OS was found on the HDD and the notebook cannot boot up!
So what to do I think you should insert an original Windows XP CD and try to boot from the CD. The XP CD should format the HDD and should install the new OS.
Sorry, but I dont see other possibility.

Suggestions for a Non Advanced Format HDD for Satellite L450-136

I need to replace the HDD on my Satellite L450-136 and am looking for one compatible with it. Straightforward you may think, but I have found out the hard way that the Advanced Format HDDs that are on the market today do not work with the L450's Recovery Disk (because the version of windows 7 on the disk does not have SP1 applied). I have been told by Toshiba that there is no way round this apart from purchasing a "compatible" HDD.
However, I am having trouble sourcing a replacement HDD that does not have AF. So does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable replacement HDD but *without* AF?

Thanks for your reply. Yes you are right, the HDDs on the market now with Advanced Formatting are compatible with the notebook. I tested this by downloading an ISO of Windows 7 with SP1 applied, and this installed and ran without any probs. The only fly in the ointment was that I would need to buy a new license to use this on a permanent basis as the Toshiba Prod Id wasn't accepted by Microsoft as valid. Ubuntu also installed and ran ok although I didn't really want to go down this route.
When you say about formatting the HD on another PC, I have to admit I didn't try this. However, I may be wrong in this, but wouldn't the successful installation of either Ubuntu or Windows 7 with SP1 have formatted the disk? If this is the case, then using Recovery Disk after this still didn't work and got the same error.

Need help in order to recovery my Satellite L450-16Q

My laptop had a virus so I used the Product Recovery disk that came with it, thinking that it would fix it but it ended up erasing the whole of my computer even windows 7.
So now I have a computer I can't use I have bought windows 7 directly from microsoft which I have downloaded and tried to install but it doesn't work.
I have also bought the product recovery disks from toshiba's backup media site in hope that they will work.
Can anyone help/advise on what I need to do.
Thank you
Sharron

Hello
The whole story is a little bit confusing for me. So lets see what you wrote:
>... thinking that it would fix it but it ended up erasing the whole of my computer even windows 7.
Thinking is wrong. What you need is exact info about recovery installation and this can be found in users manuals document. Recovery disc is not like Microsoft installation disc and cannot be used for repair. Recovery disc contains recovery image and can be used for clean OS installation (recovery image installation) only.
> So now I have a computer I can't use
Why you cannot use it? Recovery image installation installs OS again. Which OS is installed after running recovery image installation?
> I have also bought the product recovery disks from toshiba's backup media site
But why if you already have recovery disc that you have used at the beginning of the whole story?
What you need to do is to use this original disc for OS installation.
-start your notebook and press F12 several times to enter BOOT menu
-when the menu is shown put recovery disc into ODD
-select CD/DVD drive in the menu and press ENTER
-follow the menu on the screen
After recovery image installation you will have factory settings again and everything should be OK.
More questions?

T60 problem with product recovery disks

After Installing disk 1 of product recovery I am getting a message asking for "Final C" disk. I do not have this and I can go no farther with the recovery
How can I get past this? What could be causing this?

Maybe you could provide a little more information as to how you are trying to recover your system, are the recovery discs from Lenovo or did you create them yourself?
Recovery scenario using Lenovo or self created recovery discs;
boot from the Lenovo R&R or 1st disc created, once it has loaded choose to restore system and then restore to factory settings. Make sure you read all messages carefully. If it says remove disc and turn off and then turn on your system, you will need to, after removing the disc, press the power on button untill the system turns off, then turn it on again without inserting any disc.
You may be asked for a supplemental disc. If the discs are self created you do not have this disc and you need to click on "no". If the discs are from Lenovo you may, may not have one, click "yes" or "no" accordingly. Proceed as instructed and your system will be recovered.
Edit; just had another thought, may / may not be relevant in this case - but just in case: If you are starting the system, then pressing the blue ThinkVantage button, and do not have a factory restore option; - if you can still boot into windows you need to run System Update and let it update itself. Then try the ThinkVantage button again at boot, hopefully the factory restore option will be available.
Hope this helps

Sorry still in trouble with corrupt drivers for Win 7 ....

Hi i have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro. I installed Win 7 (using boot camp) and Win 7 just about works OK, but of course it is missing the correct drivers, which i thought were available from the Mac OS X disc, obviously not from the Mac Application drivers disc.
So then i asked the question on the Forum, where it was suggested because i have a fairly recent Mac Book Pro i should download and burn to Disc the correct drivers by running Boot Camp. When this is done simply run the SETEUP.EXE file in Windows 7 and it will all be sorted !.
Sadly it doesn't and isn't, i run the SETUP.EXE file and i am presented with two options ....
1. Remote Install Mac OS X
2. DVD or CD Sharing
i do believe according to the instructions i have read elsewhere there should be 3 options, the first option should be ... Install MAC drivers for Windows 7 !!!!
So please can someone help me out here ?.
Tim

It shouldn't require pounding the answer over and over. it shouldn't even require using OS X DVDs. Or typing the same answer on the keyboard multiple threads and times. It SHOULD either just be an independent download, or "FIX" whatever that 10.6.6+ 'featue" in Boot Camp Assistant. An additional chapter in the Boot Camp for Windows install PDF Guide.
the troubles are not with Windows my dear Dr Watson at all, no sir. They are in the guide, self-inflicted, left out of the guide, lack of reading the guide, and there are 100s of articles that belong under and in the Apple Support product page for Boot Camp (and weed out the stuff that is old, and have a link to sub-category if needed, and a "NEW Support Articles" addition. Which of course only .001% check to see.
Like this tidbit from a week ago:
Resolving issues with Windows when using Apple Magic Mouse or Apple Wireless Keyboard
Belong listed -
Apple Support Boot Camp
And having all "knowledge" base articles on everything made that harder to wade through than before it ballooned to take in all the devices and products (not just "mac"). Which you or I would almost have to check a couple times a week.

Graphics card for Satellite L450-188

Are you able to buy an advanced graphics card for this a TOSHIBA SATELLITE L450-188 instead of the bog standard one which comes with the machine because the frame rendering rate when i watch DVD's are appalling and also I am doing a Graphics A-Level so i need to use Adobe Photoshop's 3-D features but as expected the graphics card is not fast enough or big enough to support it please could somebody help??
Thank-you :)

hi, mate
Unfortunately, the laptop is not designed for Cpu and Gpu upgrade. Thats' why it's recommended to think well before purchasing for what purposes you will use it. In the most laptopsthe
Vga card is integrated into the motherboard and you have to replace the whole motherboard. Even if it's not integrated into the motherboard and the mobo can handle it, the problem in Bios if it can recognize it.

How Can I Make A Large Photo with Product Detail for My Thumbnails in Dreamweaver

Hello All:
New to Dreamweaver, so my code knowledge does not exist yet. Have Mercy!!!!
Anyway , I am making a typical product page.
I prefer that when people click the thumbnail product photo to not have to click into another brower.
Nowadays you are able to click in what is commonly called a "Quick View" that pops up and gives you a full sized
image along with product detail, and pricing. That's all I want.
How can I link this [the larger photo and product detai] to my thumbnails in Dreamweaver????
I want the look that is on every website like Target, Macy, etc.
Someone, please help me to !!!!!!!
These lil' faces are really cute. They are helping me to smile after hours and days, weeks of frustration. TWIN MADDOG!!!

Hi,
don't understand your problem, ore hope to understand it right. You could put the images on a DW file and link to another file with the larger image and where you have written all your informations.
I made this here only for a new, larger image (without additional informations):

Can't create a new account at ePrintCenter - trouble with the server for 2 weeks.

Hi. I'm trying to create an account at ePrintCenter and all the time getting mesage 'Возникла проблема с сервером. Проблема будет устранена в ближайшее время. Приносим извинения за неудобства.' (A trouble with the server, wait, bla bla bla). When will it be fixed?

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

Trouble with database connector for FAST for Sharepoint

I have plenty of experience with the JDBC connector for FAST ESP using Oracle, but this is the first experience I have with the same connector for FAST for Sharepoint (F4SP). I've created the XML config exactly to specs based on the technet guides
and configured my user accounts on the SQL Server appropriately. I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2.
If I try to use a Windows account, no level of access granted on the SQL Server results in a successful login. Any attempt to use the connector is met with "Login failed for user: domain\username". If I try a SQL Server account, I no longer
see a login failure, but this instead:
PS C:\FASTSearch\bin> jdbcconnector start -f ..\etc\DTtest.xml
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

14:45:00,620 INFO [JDBCConnector] Connection made to target system
TCP/IP is certainly enabled for SQL Server -- I am connecting to it with Sharepoint 2010, not to mention a test install of Toad Freeware for SQL Server from another machine, resulting in no errors. My connection string, username and password are all
set up according to the technet guide, including the encrypted password set by the encryption utility run the in F4SP Powershell. The same user who runs the connector also ran the encryption tool, so that should not be a problem either.
I've never had this kind of trouble connecting to Oracle databases with the JDBC connector for FAST ESP. Any suggestions? These failures aren't exactly helpful to me. Thanks in advance.

I found the solution to this problem in case anyone else was still curious.
This was caused not by JDBC settings, permissions/access on SQL Server, etc. It was caused simply by a missing SQL Server in F4SP configuration. When you run the F4SP config wizard, either as single-node or multi-node installations, the wizard
might end up ignoring the value you select for SQL Server, even if you are using a deployment XML file. When configuring as a multi-node setup, the wizard ignored both my deployment XML tag <connector-databaseconnectionstring> and the SQL Server
setting done manually in the wizard itself. Examing the evidence, I suspect this was caused by corrupt installation media (since the installer also failed to create some core files in /etc upon doing a reinstall).
The bottom line is that you must see a value for SQL Server in your install_info.txt file in order for the JDBC connector to work with SQL Server, like this:
Other services
Log Server:             myserver.mydomain.com:13415
SQL Server database:    jdbc:sqlserver://myserver.mydomain.com;DatabaseName=FASTSearchAdminDatabase;integratedSecurity=true
If you see this instead, the connector will never work:
So, the JDBC connector is certainly dependent on the main configuration of F4SP, regardless of what SQL Server is targeted in your connector's XML configuration.
Other services
Log Server:             myserver.mydomain.com:13415
SQL Server database:
;integratedSecurity=true
I had no idea there was a connection between my install_info setup and the use of the JDBC connector. But, the connection makes sense considering this was the error message from the JDBC connector:
09:20:04,016 ERROR [JDBCConnector] Caused by: No suitable driver found for ;integratedSecurity=true

Trouble with HD videos on Satellite M70

HI,
I recently bought a M70-208. It seems that I experience trouble with HD video both with VLC and WMP. For example, while playing the demo video of "HDtoGo", the flow is very slow. Other non Toshiba notebook that I'm using for my job is playing this video smoothly, despite its lower configuration.
I tried different combination of Energy management, but it still the same. I can't understand what's going on.
Apart from that, this notebook makes me happy (6900 point at 3D mark05).
Thanks for helping me.

Hi
Maybe is my English not so good but what you mean under flow? Is there any kind of bucking while video plays?
Maybe some application in background occupied the CPU and because of that the video doesnt run well. Try to check it.
Anyway, as you said this unit has very good value on graphic test. Friend of mine has M70-257.
Bye

Product recovery for dual boot T60

I've got a T60 that dual boots windows and Ubuntu. My goal is to reinstall windows on the windows partition while leaving the ubuntu partitions alone. However, the recovery utility appears to only allow for a fully harddrive wipe and reinstallation. Is there a way to reduce the scope of the wipe so that it only wipes and reinstalls on my windows partition? I have no data on the windows side that I need to save, but am trying to avoid having to reinstall Ubuntu as well.
thanks

I too have a similar setup. I'd simply use a windows setup disc to do the install. It's much faster and the product recovery discs install 5year old OS/software/drivers, all of which will need updating anyway.
