Troubles for ordering a recovery media online

Dear moderator
I didnt succeed in ordering a recovery media online because of the step 2. In such step is requested by the system to fill the blank field with the last 4 characters. In fact, that's a little strange, because my Toshiba Lap Top's Model Part-Number is composed of 12 characters and the first nine characters are pre-filled automatically by the system after the step 1 have finished. So, it's missing 3 CHARACTERS, not 4. After that, It appears the following message: "Part number does not match serial number. Please verify it’s correct, and try again. Hint: Use zero instead of letter "O", and digit "1" (one) instead of letter "L"".
I followed the hint and nothing changed. I tried every combinations of characters it's possible to imagine and didnt work.
I urgently need a Recovery Media because my hard drive recovery partition has been deleted (I don't know how) and I have to recover hard drive and system.
Thanks for your atention.

I need recovery media for an old Toshiba but apparently can't order it. Help!

The other day my TOSHIBA laptop - MODEL # PSM43U-01700P - must've got a virus or something because it started to slow and was unable to open some programs. Thinking the computer was about to go, i started saving my personal files onto a disk, and just after doing so the computer Blue screened and now upon start up it stops and says that it's missing a file <Windows root>\System 32\ ntoskrnl.exe and must have it added in order to continue. I of course, however, didn't realize that upon buying the computer years ago that i should have created my own recovery disks, thinking foolishly that the company would always have this media on hand to order should the need for it arise(Plus i doubt i would've done it properly since i'm not really a computer genius, surprise, surprise)
Anyway. . .
My problem is that when i tried to order the recovery media for this ancient model, i was told that Toshiba no longer carries this models media at all. So i was just wondering if possibly there's a similar model's media that Toshiba does carry that i'd be able to order instead of this model's that would still work with my computer. I was able to do this with an old DELL I had, and was hoping the same thing was possible with a TOSHIBA.
I'm crossing my fingers here guys. Hope to hear back from you. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

You are welcome.
It appears that you will not be able to order the Recovery Discs. Therefore, you will have to buy a full copy of the OS.
In the future, you should make certain to create the Recovery Discs when the computer is new. This will save you many problems. I made the same mistake myself. It is not a good feeling when you don't have the discs.

I need recovery media for HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx Entertainment Notebook PC.

The hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new SSD. The recovery disks that came from the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy won't work. Best Buy said to get them from HP and they would reimburse me. I can't find out how to order them on the HP website.

Hi:
The product specs for your model indicate it came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I do not see that you can order recovery media online for your model so you will have to call HP at this number 1-(800) 474-6836, and see if they still carry them.
If not, you can still order a set from this non-HP vendor at the link below.

Toshiba shipping policy/process for recovery media - bizarre and expensive.

Is anyone else upset that Toshiba charges nearly twenty five dollars to mail us something we already essentially own?
"There is no charge for the software itself, for which customers already own licenses, and as of 10/1/10 the shipping and handling charges for delivery of recovery media in the US is $24.95 for DVD media or $34.95 for USB sticks."
Also, for such an exorbitant price for getting such a small, lightweight package physically to the customer, I don't think it's out of line to expect Toshiba to be OVERNIGHTING the disks....but, it appears Toshiba does not do this, either; my email told me that while "most orders ship the next business day," I should expect to wait 5-7 business days to receive them. Clearly, they are NOT overnighting this.
Worse yet -- when I checked the tracking of my package, it appears, for some bizarre reason, Toshiba has elected to ship my disks from North Carolina to Georgia (via DHL?) and then, from GA, back up the eastern seaboard to Baltimore, Maryland, where I live.....via the US postal service. This must be some "one size fits all" mailing scheme, which I object to very strongly, given I've laid out $24.95 for what ACTUALLY should only cost a couple bucks, tops. It's ridiculous to ship a package from North Carolina, to GEORGIA, then Maryland. That's wasting several days to ship something in the WRONG DIRECTION. And using two companies to do it. Other companies I do business with don't do this....why does Toshiba? It is idiotic. I object to it because for $24.95, this could be overnighted to me, directly from North Carolina to Maryland, and Toshiba would STILL pocket a profit.
We as customers should demand better service than this....every day without the computer is like a week, and we're paying for top not service here!

The Recovery discs cost 24.95 is already a package which is for the disc and the shipping. Normally the standard shipping time is 7 -10 business days because when a customer orders a recovery disc, that is the only time that toshiba creates a recovery disc for the laptop that is, according to the tech that I have spoken to. Some toshiba laptops does not come with a Recovery disc because the laptop already had a Hidden Recovery Partition that would allow you to create your own recovery disc and perform the recovery process without needing a recovery disc. So generally speaking, getting the RACD would depend on the model of the laptop that you have or if the laptop's hard drive is being replaced

Poor Support for Recovery Media Error.

T'm trying to recovery a Sattelite laptop L675D (part no. PSK3JU-03L02D) for a friend. There was no recovery partion on the machine and it was out of warrenty, so I purchased the recovery media ($29.95). I started the process and it read the 3 CDs and then started the process of creating the partitions, but 45% into the "creating CRC files" it failed with error code 10-FA12-045D.
A call to Toshiba support told me to remove battery and AC for 15 minutes and try again. Same result so another call to support. They did not tell me what the code indicated, but checked that I could enter the recovery process via the hard drive without the CDs. They said they could get the machine running without sending new disks. They charged $49,95 since the machine was out of warranty. I asked that if they were unsuccessful at resolving the issue, would the charge be refunded and the support person said "yes". We then attempted the recovery from the hard drive. (I thought this was useless since the media created the recovery partition and I would probably get the same error, but I went along...)
After 30 minutes, I got the exact same error (10-FA12-045D) that I had got on previous recovery attempts at the same point in the process. The new support person said that the message indicated missing drivers and they would need to send new media. He checked with his supervisor and said the $49,95 was non-refundable. NOT A VERY SATISFACTORY EXPERIENCE.
I am now waiting for the next recovery media to arive.

Hi
If possible, turn on power, press F10 to enter BIOS mode, and run Memory Test and Hard Drive Test if any test fails you need to replace the part. Please note you need to be sure which part has failed and replace that part only then the unit will work fine. As per my understanding error code 303 is Hard drive failure.
Let us know how it goes!

NB505-508BL Rebuilding replaced hard disk without recovery media

Hi All,
I'm hoping for some help. My brother has an NB505-508BL mini netbook. It doesn't have a DVD drive, and so when he got the laptop, he decided he couldn't make the recovery media.
Last week his hard disk completely died, so I ordered him a new one. I've just installed it and asked him for the recovery disk / image / media, which he hasn't got.
So I've been checking these forums and I can't believe what I am reading: Toshiba don't supply a link to a downloaded image for recover for software that the customers already own, but will charge an outrageous $30 to send out an image by post.
The main problem I have is that I like in the UK, so Toshiba wont send me the recovery disk or USB. So I pretty much screwed unless someone else can help me out with any of the following:
Is it possible to download windows 7 starter from Microsoft (or anywhere, legitimately) and install it onto the laptop, at least to get it going?
If I got windows going and downloaded all the Toshiba drivers from the website, would I be able to create the recovery media and re-image the hard disk to have the hidden partition with all the recovery data on it?
I'm desperate to get this going for my brother - especially as he spent a lot of money on the computer, and then I spent a lot of money replacing the hard disk!
Many thanks for any help -

mini notebook NB505-N508BL
Probably your best bet is to have an acquaintance in the US or Canada request the recovery thumb drive and mail it to you.
   Order Toshiba Recovery Media
That's cheaper than purchasing a retail version of Windows and certainly much less trouble than installing all of the drivers and utilities (which are here).
Until recently it was possible to download Windows 7 for Netbooks from Microsoft. But that has for some reason been withdrawn.
You can still download Windows 7 from here. You'd want the x86 English version. That DVD contains all 32-bit Editions.
You can convert the DVD to a bootable flash drive.
   Use a USB Key to Install Windows 7—Even on a Netbook
Note that Microsoft does not actually sell Windows. It sells product keys. Which edition you choose to install determines the price of the product key.
I'd guess you have a fighting chance of convincing the Microsoft activation people that Windows 7 Starter edition has already been paid for. If you're successful, they will issue a free product key for that edition (only).
This Microsoft toll-free phone number in the UK is for volume licensing, but maybe they will give you the number of the local Microsoft people for more info.

Hp the system recovery media does not support this computer, WIN7 GS72 Notebook

HProduct: GS-B66US (17" I3 notebook)
OS: Win7
Bios Rev: F.47
Error message: "hp the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system"
Changes made to system: Updated bios (I think).
Getting error messages (at system boot, as windows start, and from the intel hard drive controller) warning me to backup data and hard drive my fail.
I replaced the harddrive and inserted the first of my 4 recovery DVDs (created before I updated the bios). After booting from the first recovery disk I get the following message
"hp the system recovery media does not support this computer. You are not able to restore this system with the media"
The computer still boots with the old hard drive (with drive failure imminent messages) I do see support assistant offering another bios update but I did not install it with the hard drive problem
PLEASE HELP
TIA

Hi,
I think there could be two possible reason. wrong media or systemboard is changed.
did you create any recovery media yourself or you ordered the recovery media from hp? also, was there any systemboard replacement done before?
media created on some other computer (same model) may not work on your computer.
you can order the media from hp.com here.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00810334
also once systemboard is replaced you need to get the configuration settings done for BIOS(only HP can do it).
hope it helps

Hey @krishna18 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand you're looking for information on recovery media for your Omni tablet.
Not all models come with recovery media, as they have a recovery drive built in. In order to acquire part or recovery media you will need to speak with our phone support team, as on the forums we only offer technical support. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
In the meantime, if you need to perform a recovery now you should be able to do so by following the section titled "Reset your computer using the System Recovery option" in this guide: Recovering Software on Your HP Tablet (Windows 8)

How to create Recovery media as USB

Hi, Toshiba support told me to buy new recovery media from www.backupmedia.toshiba.eu for my Satellite t110.
I ordered the recovery media but it's on CD/DVD! This model doesn't have a CD/DVD drive..
Please let me know how I can create this recovery media on a USB stick. Please note that I don't have any of the Toshiba utilities on my T110.
Simple instructions please - I'm new at this.
Thanks
Phil

I used 4 DVD-R discs. They were on sale - 25 DYNEX discs for $7.
Go to: start/all programs/my toshiba/toshiba recovery media creator
Insert your 1st disc.
Select create and follow the prompts.
Label your discs with a disc marker - recovery disc 1, recovery disc 2, etc. or whatever you'll remember.
store them into individual envelopes or shells and put them in a safe place.
BTW: If your hd "crashes" you'll need a new hd.

Created 2 sets of Windows 8 Recovery Media using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. First set a year ago, created a new set yesterday.
The laptop will not boot to either set (DVD 1). The DVD is bootable in another machine. EUFI is grayed out.
Tried a Windows 8 DVD store bought. It booted from this DVD.
The big question: Why won't the Toshiba laptop see its own DVD it created for recovery?
Win 8 Repair DVD - boots from USB drive but won't see DVD files on drive. Is this the image?
Do I need to order the recovery media?
