Trouble with recovery disks

As I was using my Toshiba L305 Laptop, It suddenly started to reboot. As it turned back on the Toshiba screen came up then a screen that said Missing Operating System. I tried to use the Recovery disks that came with the computer. I inserted the first disk and waited till it told me to insert the second disk. It stared running and stopped with a black screen that says windows failed to start. it said to insert my windows installation disk and restart my computer. It also says
File;\Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
info: the selected entry could not be loaded bacause the application is missing or corupt
My question is if I order the recovery disks on this website will that restore my computer or do I need to have the actual Windows Vista program disks ( which I do not have). I wondered if Windows Vista is on the recovery disks. what is my best option. Thank you

Toshiba's recovery disks restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. That includes Windows, drivers, utilities, and assorted junk.
Always tell us which Satellite L305 you have when you post here. There is a label on the bottom.

Having problem with Recovery Disk assistant. Help

Hi apple community.
I am having trouble with Recovery Disk Assistant.
I want to re-install my mountain lion to restore all settings to default without deleting my personal data (e.g. Movies, documents, pictures, downloads, dowloaded programs like Photoshop cs6 and other downloaded apps)
I want to make a bootable usb for mountain lion.
so i am using the Recovery Disk Assistant.
And when i open the Recovery disk assistant, i was expecting that the OS that will go onto the usb was Mountain lion. But i get OS X Lion instead.
Of course i dont want to downgrade my mountain lion to its previos version of OS X which is Lion.
How should i do this? Thanks.

RDA simply copies your Recovery partition to the flash drive. If you're sure you have a Lion Recovery system, but you're running ML, then you need to download the ML installer from the App Store and run it.

I am unable to Install windows xp with recovery disks.

I have a Toshiba’s Satellite Pro S300-10J laptop Model#PSSB0E-02H00FDU. Some days back its operating system got corrupted. I have its recovery disks(windows Xp) and now I am trying to reinstall the windows by using recovery disks but unable to do so. Actually when I insert disk 1 it start installation process and then prompt for 2nd disk and when I insert 2nd disk it starts unpacking software image process. At the end it shows a pop up box with the following information.
Info:
                Done(Files:28339/28339 Folders: 2558/2558).
                Please remove the recovery medium!
                                                |OK|
As I remove the 2nd disk and press ok and then exit it goes shut down instead of rebooting. When I press power button to on it then it goes stuck on windows startup with a message of please wait .
Please support that how can I get rid of this situation and can restore operating system with recovery disk.

I made another attempt but nothing goes productive.
One thing is clear that the recovery disks are ok because a few months back I used same disks to refresh my notebook and did it without any error.
There might be a chance of bios setting because in my absence my sister and her friend tried to install windows and I doubt her friend made some changes in bios but she says that she didn’t made any change except boot priority and during installation got the error.
I have already rest the bios setting to default and in SATA CONTROLLER MODE I changed it from AHCI into IDE.
With recovery disks of XP Installation starts and after image loading it doesn’t restart just goes shut down and upon restarting just stop responding/hang up on startup.
I tried with another CD of XP and during installation when system restarts setup continues on ‘INSTALLING WINDOWS’ with the message that ‘Setup will complete in approximately 35 minutes ‘Installing devices’ and at this stage it hanged up. Finally it shows blue screen with an error like
Technical Information
STOP: 0X000000F4 (0X0000003,0X89936670,0X899367E4,0X805D1142)
Beginning dump of physical memory.
On several attempts the result remains same.
Need your valuable advice please..

Re: Is Satellite L300D provided with recovery disk?

Hi,
I do not get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
Does anyone know If Satellite L300D is provided with recovery disk?
As far as i know computers manufactured from mid 2007 are no longer provided with recovery disks for the operating system. How do I know what year my satellite is manufactured?
Many thanks

All new notebook models including your one are delivered without recovery DVD.
Recovery image is saved on second partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
Akuma is right. You must create recovery media using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". The shortcut you can find on the desktop. Please do this and for recovery media creation I recommend you to use high quality DVD-R media like TDK or Verbatim.
You can install OS using F8 button at start up. The guideline how to do this you can find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
Please note. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install other operating system on first partition. the second partition can be in original state but this F8 option will be gone.
If you have more questions please let me know.

How do I format an external HD with Recovery Disk Assistant on?

Hi,
I have seen a couple of threads on this, but I'm still not "Compos Mentis" with how to format an external drive with the Recovery Disk Assistant on.
I have a 320GB which has my recovery disk assistant on - "Don't ask!" - Anyway it goes without saying that I want it all back, but I'll be damned if I can get there. I have managed to view (after a lot of faffing) what I thought was the External Drive, but now realise that it's not...this is what I am now seeing - are these removable via partition (disk0s1 & Recovery HD) as I have been merrily trying to erase them in he belief that they were the external HD and as far as I can see nothing has changed...only my annoyance!
Anyway in short, I need this
A) view the external drive and
B) Format it back to 320GB
Can anyone spoon feed me a way out?
Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by, "how to format an external drive with the Recovery Disk Assistant on."
You don't need to use the Recovery HD to format an external drive. Just use Disk Utility:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Trouble with install disks - is it OK to make a copy of them?

Finally, I am trying to make a copy of the install disks that came with my MBP. This was recommended in several threads for preserving the original and having backups just in case.
I used Disk Utility to make a disk image - choosing DVD/CD master, no encryption - as I was instructed on another thread. I made the disk images fine of the 2 disks - they are now saved as disk images in the .cdr format. While I was at it, I made a disk image of the TechTool Deluxe CD that came with my AppleCare.
When I inserted a CD (and then I tried a DVD) into the slot to Burn the disk image of the first (and then the second) install disk, I got the message that there is not enough room on the disk I am trying to use (for either disk). I had no trouble burning a disk of the TechTool Deluxe - I did that on a CD.
When I go to Get Info for the disk image for the 2 install disks, it looks like each is no larger than 5 plus GB, which seems strange.
What am I doing wrong?
Mrs H

When you make images of the discs, it is compressed. So when you get info of the image, that is smaller than the actual disc size. You said disc two was 3.97gb but really uncompressed it is likely over 6GB. For both install discs one and two, you need dual-layer DVDs to burn.
Thanks for your help, mdpeterman.
I wondered about the compressed issue - but since I chose CD/DVD master, (from Disk Utility Help: "If you want to use the disk image with a third-party application, choose CD/DVD master. The disk image contains a copy of all sectors of the disk, whether they're used or not, and copies them to other CDs or DVDs bit for bit") with no encryption I assumed that the size of the disk image was identical to the original.
What you say tells me I'm wrong - that even with DVD master bit for bit, the image is compressed. Right?
I'll get back to you when I have solved this...

Can I recover only C Drive on Satellite A300 with recovery disk?

Hello there!
I'm new in the new type of slipstreaming Windows. I was familiar with the old one with Norton ghost. It was easy for me, but I have a problem with the new one. I want to recover only C drive on my laptop with a different size than the factory size.
I want to delete the first partition and rearrange others because I want bigger partition for my data and small Partition for my system. Can I boot program with CD then insert Toshiba recovery disk and use the Vista image on recovery DVDs to recover only C drive?
Excuse me for my English. :-)

Almost all the last night I tried to make a bootable CD from the EISA configuration partition because the only way to recover only C drive is to boot from there. At the last I did it, but now i'm not sure that disk will work when I erase the EISA partition and Image files from the data partition and burn them on a DVD. Now I'm wondering how to contact with the Toshiba engeneers to ask them.

Upgrading T430 preloaded with Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8 With Recovery Disks

I just got 19 T430 laptops that we thought would have Windows 8 on them but them came with a preload of Windows 7 Pro and recovery disks for Windows 8. The recovery disks have instructions for using them to upgrade to 8, but the laptop won't boot to the cd/dvd drive. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the instructions or if the disks aren't bootable. I can see them and their contents through Windows Explorer, so I know the drive works.

If it is like the other sets I have seen, there will be 2 "applications and drivers" disk and one operating system disk. You boot from the first "applications and drivers" disk. It will boot, and then call for the other disks when needed. If I remember right, the order is App 1, OS, App1, App2. I suggest backing up your win7 image before installing win8. I used windows 8 just long enough to figure out that I hate it.

Errors with recovery disk: no wifi

I used the recovery disk; factory settings reboot.... And this happens. It only connects directly to the Internet; no wifi at all. And it won't do windows updates. Now I get this message. I am not sure what I need to do to fix this.
You can see in the photos, there are errors with the Toshiba Modem and the Wifi 5100

Recovering Windows 7 with recovery disks (4)

I had a crash and re-installed Windows Vista HP, but have an upgrade that once contained a Windows 7 Pro upgrade but the packet but is empty. But I do have (4) recovery disks marked Win7Pro and attempted to use these disks to recover Win7 but stopped to loading process because the program indicated that all files would be lost. Can someone help me install these disks and recover Win7? Again, this laptop arrived with an empty packet that once contained Win7Pro; I have a product key number.
This Toshiba P500 laptop arrived with the Windows 7 upgrade offer. The upgrade was ordered but the disk was never received.
Thank you for your help.
James

I'm a little confused. It sounds like you have a few things happening here.
Just to be clear, you'll always want to restore the laptop to factory default conditions using a recovery partition or recovery media and then upgrade to your desired operating system version. Don't install directly to a different OS. Also, doing the recovery procedure will erase all your personal data.
If you ordered something from Toshiba and didn't receive it or received the wrong product, you should definitely call the place of order and let them know!

Trouble with LaCie disk and time machine

HI everyone,
I've been having trouble with using time machine to back-up to my 1 TB LaCie drive (purchased 5/12, unfornuately I was dumb and didn't register the drive and no longer have the box with the serial number and there is no serial number on my drive. The only problem I had up until the end of August was that every so often the LaCie drive (using my FW 800 port) would unmount after waking up from sleep.
The end of August the drive unmounted for no reason while I was on the computer doing a task. Could not get the LaCie drive remounted (rebooting, etc. etc.) To make a long story short, ended up calling apple care who took me through resetting my SMC and PRAM to no avail. Was booted to higher level of support who walked me through trying to repair my drive using the disk utiltiy. When that didn't work, she walked me through erasing and reformatting the LaCie drive and starting a new time machine back-up. Every thing ok until about ten days ago.
Last week, when I woke my iMac up from sleep, I got an error saying that the disk was not ejected properly and I could not mount the drive. Restarting did nothing, the disk did not mount. Shutting down and rebooting seemed to solve the problem and the disk was mounted. Every so often I've had the problem with the disk unmounting after waking up from sleep before. So, I changed my energy sleep preferences. At the end of the day when I am done, I'd unmount the LaCie drive before putting the Mac to sleep using the apple menu.
Today I came in to start my day, plugged the drive in and it would not mount. Tried rebooting nothing. Went into the disk utility, at first the LaCie drive passed the disk verify (6:26:25 and 6:26:38). Then I went into repair disk on the indented drive at 6:27:13, I wasn't sure what it is was doing, thinking that it had hung, I stopped the repair at 6:27:24. Exited disk utility, and the LaCie drive mounted. But I was getting a read only error when I tried to back-up using time machine. So, I went back into disk utility at 6:27:35, when I verified the disk (indented disk), I got an error saying the disk need to be repaired. After several minutes the disk could not be repaired. So, I erased and reformatted the drive. Ran a time machine back-up and it seemed to back-up everything on my hard drive. Just ran another verify disk and it passed.
Is the drive failing? Have some other back-ups of my documents, my address book, iCal and am going to make a backup of some of my pref files and important e-mail files and am going to do some more back-ups after I am done.
Have reached out to the women at apple care whom I talked to last August, but don't expect to hear back from her for at least 24 hours.

I just got a call back from the upper level support person at apple care who had been advising me on my trouble with time machine and my LaCie 1 TB FWD. I had sent her much of the same verbiage as I posted here. As some of you have probably figured out, the verdict is that the drive is probably failing. She says this because I have had to do two erase and reformats. She thought that the intermitant problem that I have had with the drive unmounting when my iMac wakes from sleep could be related to the drive failing.
In the meantime I have a secondary back-up (not using time machine) and the LaCie 1 TB FWD is working for the moment.
Thanks to all who read all my verbiage.
And in the meantime, I've learned something. I marked this question as solved. But I'm open to other things to try.

T500 with recovery disks 45M3789: xp pro possible?

I am trying to figure out if I can use this recovery disk to get back XP Pro:
Mfg part #                    FRU part #          Description
45M3789                       00000000       XPPW7PW7RCVUSE:BOMS,
                                                                 NOT SHIPPABLE ACROS
T500 model  2082-bku originally came with XP but was upgraded to windows 7 which wiped out hard drive. No backup disks were separately burned from the XP hard drive before the upgrade.
Unit came with this recovery disk but I cannot find any reference to it anywhere. I am reluctant to go thru wiping out hard drive until I have some idea what I will end up with. Anyone have this or know what it does, and specifically if it will get XP somewhere where I can end up using it?  Any help appreciated. (I have to go back and reuse some obsolete software which is incompatable with Win 7.)

Hi bacall9y,
I'm sorry. The info i found about Mfg part #45M3789 is more complicated than i expected. It seems to me that this package Mfg part #45M3789 has different CDs.
I suggest you to speak with Sales person as they know much more than me. Maybe you can ask for recovery media as well since you do not create one for yourself when you received the machine.
In the mean time, why don't you try out the windows xp mode in win 7? I understand you would like to run some programs that is not compatible with win 7. I also notice that you have Win 7 Professional version. Perhaps you can check out the Windows XP Mode in Win 7 and the FAQ. In short, this feature allow you to install and run programs that are only compatible with windows XP while you're in Win 7 environment.
FYI, this Windows XP Mode feature offered by Microsoft only for Win 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate version.

Cleo

Hi,
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
500Gb Hard Drive
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 53 of your Maintenance & Service Guide. As shown in the guide, you need to remove the caddy from your current HDD and attach it to the new one so that the drive locates correctly.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive - a guide on this can be seen Here.

W540 several errors in the win 8 installation with recovery disks

Hello
I bought a W540 (20BG001BPG) one week ago with Windows 7 pro installed on it. I've tried install Win8 using recovery disks included in the package I received from Lenovo.
At the third DVD (Supplemental Recovery Disc), the installation process start giving errors several times (File not found) and in the next DVD´s, but always go on.
After finishing the installation (DVD) I rebooted and then the windows continue the installation until the end, normaly.
I did the BIOS upgrade to the latest version
I think that sooner or later problems with windows will start to appear, am I right?
Can anyone help me? Please, I have urgency...
Thank you very much in advance.
(Sorry my english)

Yes, I may be paranoid but the workstation is my working tool and if it fails in the middle of something ...
A technician of IBM Portugal told me that could be due to the fact that the DVD's are for two models of computers (such as Richk said), but was not sure of that, because never had appeared to him this situation.
I ran the "command" you said, but it gave me an error 87 then ran the Dism.exe and gave me a huge list that I can not interpret (the following link downloads the print screen that did https://mega.co.nz/#!ho4TRCzb!VP_RIQMowiDV1vQlmTcCXK74qiJhy3chMYfR7FS7cpU)
Thank U

System restore not working, even with recovery disks

I have a Touchsmart Tx2 1020us. I want to completely restore it to factory settings.
when i use the recovery manager it pops up saying that there isn't a recovery partition and to insert disk #1. i bought the recovery disk set from HP and put disk 1 in. it then says to click on next. when i click on next the computer just shuts itself down. it never restarts, just turns itself off.
i also tried using the "press f11 repeatedly at startup" method. after pressing f11 a ton of times my computer just begins this shrill beeping sound and will not stop until you stop pressing f11.
so basically i've tried every method on this page :http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00809678#N554 with absolutely no results.
any ideas on how to get this stupid system restore to work?

Hi,
Since you deleted your recovery partitions and your recovery disk set has issues you will need to purchase a set of recovery disks from HP or from an HP Partner. the cost is around $25.00 USD.
It is unfortunate, but when you deleted the recovery partitions you limited the options that were previously available to you.
Nonexistance or modification of the recovery partition is the reason that neither F11 from startup nor Recovery Manager from within Windows does not work.
Best regards,
erico
