[U310] How to use recovery DVDs

In windows 8, it is impossible to create recovery DVDs with Lenovo OneKey Recovery 8.0.
The option has been eliminated. WHY?
Now I ordered the DVDs, but I don't know how to use it !! What I did was:
- Since U310 has not DVD drive, I create ISO file and burn it to USB drive using UltraISO.
- BIOS: RAID, Legacy support, boot USB HDD,
But I still get CD/ROM error while product recovery. Why?
Anyone could help? any other settings needed?
Or the very latest BIOS version of 65CN99WW not support USB HDD image?
thanks in advance for any hints.

thanks Solid Cruver,
the USB was bootable, and according to your post:
‎09-10-2013 05:28 PM
Inside BIOS
    Under Boot Tab
          Change Boot mode to Legacy
           USB Boot should be enabled
    Under Security
          Secure Boot Has to Be disabled
In case the options above are grayed out in your BIOS, Got to Exit Tab and Change OS Optimized Default to Other OS
and check the options again.
Once All are Set Make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot. You should have now your USB Stick as an Option.
The security boot choice can only be found under UEFI boot. But what I need is Boot mode to Legacy, and boot to Legacy first with USB. i.e. if I choose Legacy boot, the security setting will not appear, so I think it will set back to eanabled to prevent other OS installation?
Do I need to choose AHCI and iRST off? Any other tricky things? any priority of the 3 USB ports?

How to use recovery dvd on new hard drive, install window 7

hello, i have trouble with my laptop. my hard drive got bad sectors and now i need to replace my hdd to new one. im not sure how to reinstall window 7 on my new hdd.
is it possible to install operating system on new hard drive using recovery disk? and how?

Hi,
Yes, recovery discs will work on a new hard drive, but it's generally best to ensure that the replacement drive is of the same capacity ( slightly larger is Ok ) as the original - recovery discs can have issue when used on a drive that has a smaller capacity than the original.
When you have replaced the HDD, all you need to do is as follows.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.
Insert the 1st Recovery Disc.
Select Boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
You will be prompted to insert subsequent discs as required.
Regards,
DP-K

To use recovery disc is very simply.
Just do the follow:
- Start your notebook and press F12
- When the boot menu is shown put recovery media into optical disc drive
- Choose CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
- Follow the menu on the screen
- There is nothing you can choose or set. Just follow menu steps and confirm with OK
After recovery image installation leave notebook to complete installation.
Please note: recovery procedure will erase whole HDD and all saved data will be deleted. So, before you start installation back up all your important data.
Thats all!

How to use the dvd drive...?

Hi Guys,
Just bought my new 15" 2.53 Mhz Duo Core MacBook Pro a month ago but until now I haven't figured out how to use the DVD drive. Well I can't seem to find where it is actually... Does all MacBook Pro has dvd drive? Coz when I check back apple's website and look for the same macbook pro specification like my one, it has a dvd drive included so I thought my macbook has it for sure but can't or don't know how to use it... This is my first time to have an apple that's why...
Hoping for your help..
Thanks,
Danny

Hi there Danny.
I believe you are looking for the location of the DVD drive... right?
If you are looking at your computer while it is open, it should be on the right hand side... "under" the keyboard. There is a slit that allows the DVD to be inserted into the computer. I think if you start to insert a DVD in there (shiney side down) part way, it will suck it into the computer.
(note: I'm not exactly sure, because I use a 7 year old iBook that has a pop-out DVD tray... but I think it will suck it in for you)

Trying to use recovery DVD's

Have 2 L655-S5150 Satellite laptops. Hard drive failure on laptop #1 and had to do a out of the box restore on laptop #2 using the hidden partition,...worked fine. Replaced the hard drive on laptop #1, and thus don;t have the partition set up that allows for the restore to out of the box conditions and am now trying to figure out how to get it to out of the box condition. I thought I could make recovery DVD's using the good laptop #1 and the media recovery utility that is on that Toshiba. DVD's are created but I can't boot to them...something about something missing. I have switched hard drives back and forth between the 2 laptops and the both work fine with the good HDD. What am I missing about this whole recovery concept? I was trying to avoid buying the DVD's from Toshiba. Doesn't it make sense that I could make the myself since I have a workng laptop that is the same model as the bad one? Thoughts about cloning the good HDD drive??? I've spent waaay too much time on this. I was able to put a windows 7 image onto that drive using a downloaded iso image from Microsoft. had to enter the key # from the bottom of the laptop, but that went fine. It doesn't give me all of the factory programs and all, which is indeed what I would like.
any help is appreciated.
dan

hey Jerry,
Same make and model as the old one. Don't have it in front of me right now, but a Hitachi travelstar 320 Gb SATA drive. That new drive works fine in lapto #2 (just not a full out of the box assembly of programs...just windows 7 on that drive right now) I know it doesn;t have anything to do with the new drive b/c when I try to use the DVD's to boot the good laptop (#1) the exact same thing happens. It almost seems like when I use the Toshiba Recovery Media center to make the DVD's, it does not make them bootable. Is this possible? I have also tried this with a USB stick...same issue

How to use recovery disk with external ODD?

Hello,
I need to recover my Toshiba laptop using original Toshiba recovery dvd, but my internal dvd ram doesn't work, so how I set my pc to look for external dvd ram when the windows is starting? I followed the instructions and hold the C button when started computer, but when I press F12 doesn't matter which drive for boot I select, my pc just starts windows...
Thanks for your help. J. Hlavsa

Hello
What notebook model you have exactly?
Normally you can restore the factory settings from Toshiba recovery disk or if you use the HDD recovery option. To use the HDD recovery option you have to go in advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair My Computer and follow the screen instructions.
If you can boot from external CD/DVD drive is depending on your notebook model that you have. Normally you can find more information in user manual about this.

Can't open attachments in Outlook Express since using recovery DVD

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop on Windows xp. I had to run the product recovery dvd-rom as it was really playing up switching it self off and all kinds well thats sorted now and is back to running normal.
The only problem now is, when i try and open an attachment in my Emails, it says this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
Please can any one help has I have sat here for hours and still can't find a fix.

It seems that you have lost your file associations.
The easiest way would be to "save as" the attachment onto a folder on the hard drive, then right click the saved file a choose "open with". From the drop down list, select the apropriate program and check the box that says "always use this program". You will have to do that for all new file extensions as they come. Good luck.
I did a quick search on Google for third party software that would automate the process and there is plenty.
Just type: restore file extensions.

Lost hard drive space & recovery partition using Recovery DVDs

My computer crashed, so preformed and system recovery with the System Recovery DVD that I purchased from HP when I bought my HP Pavilion dv9834cl Notebook PC.
When the process was finished, I only got 32 gig of Hard Drive, It's a 320 gig HD! I lost 100 gig of hd space and the recovery partition.
I’m stuck. How can I format my hard drive and create a new Recovery Partition?
HELP!

Boot into OSX and re-run boot camp assistant. Select the option to remove/delete Windows partition (if you see it).
If not, open disk utlity and try to erase and combine the Windows partition back into your Mac one.

Can not use recovery DVD 'Wrong machine' error occurs

My Dealer/Service center replaced the motherboard when I had a start up problem. My recovery DVD which originally comes with the notebook does not work anymore. When I start recovery procedure follow message is shown: 'Wrong machine'.
Is it possible to download new one from the Toshiba website? If yes from where exactly?
My product is registered in October 2004.

Hello
If you use wrong machine as searching term on this forum you will find many similar treads. When motherboard is changed DMI information must be updated. Without this info identification is not possible.
I recommend you to contact service again. They will update DMI info and you will be able to use recovery media again.
Good luck!

Is it possible to use recovery dvd from Macbook Pro 15 Core Duo on Macbook?

I lost my recovery DVD for my macbook, I can get a set for the Macbook Pro Core Duo from my friend. Is it possible to use it on the macbook or do I have to call Applecare to get the replacement dvds?
Thanks,
Macbook Core Duo 2.00 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) Macbook White Core Duo 2.0Ghz 2.0GB Ram

Apple recovery disks only hae the drivers for the model that they were designed to be used with. There are also system checks in place that may prevent it from even being attempted.
The best thing is to either contact Apple or look for someone who is selling a legitimate MacBook recovery CD set.

How to use recovery files in recovery partition in hp dv6 notebook in windows 7

can anyone tell what to do??
This question was solved.

Having the hdd in Dynamic state breaks Recovery function. Converting bck to Basic should not delete your data...unless the data is on the extra partition you need to delete in order to get the hdd back to Basic.

How to ensure recovery DVDs will work?

I just purchased an A505-S6005 and first thing, created the recovery DVDs. Is there a way to check the DVDs to make sure they will work if I should need them later? It makes me a little nervous to have to create them myself. Thanks!

Toshiba doesn't do much of anything right when it comes to supporting their systems. I agree that a better way of testing the disks would be good, but it's doubtful they will ever implement such a system. They sell way too many laptops and because of this they won't change their way of doing things because they don't think they need to. If they really cared about their users they would be prompted to create the disks as soon as the system fires up for the first time with an either make them now or remind me in two days (for those people who don't have blank disks ready to go).
In my case I had created a complete backup image of the hard drive to an external hard drive so I was covered i they didn't work.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Satellite A45-S250 : How to use Recovery CD if DVD Drive is not working

Hi all ,
First , appologize for my english , i'm a french guy :)
So my problem is that i would like to re-install everything on a A45-S250 by using the recovery CD.
But the main problem is that the internal DVD drive is not running anymore.
I've try by plugging an external DVD drive, but the laptop don't want to boot on it.
I've seen that it can boot through a floppy drive, lan, or SD card. But with theses possibilities , how to be able to reinstall everything include in the recovery CD ?
I may have a usb floppy drive, so i'll be able to boot on a disk boot. but then how to start the recovery CD procedure ?
I'll prefer to use the recovery CD as a WinXP home standart, cause i know that the OEM serial won't work to a Original version of WinXP ...
Thanks for your help !
Kubs

Hi
If you want to use the Recovery CD then you would need a bootable CD/DVD drive.
Fact is that you would be not able to boot from a USB CD/DVD drive or its not possible to copy the whole stuff on the SD card and then to boot
You need an internal CD/DVD drive or external CD/DVD drive which could be connected to the PCMCIA port
For me only these two possibilities could work!
