Win7 64 bit (original pre-installed) ,32 bit dvd recovery disc

I've just bought new notebook from toshiba L500-208 recently. And i absolutely have no idea how to deal with this new stuff! Please help me!
I had one NB from compaq for 5 yrs, when i format window just use 1 cd and this finish!
But now what i dont understand is i have win7 64 bit (when i bought), but i have 32 bit recovery disc.
I want to know if i format notebook and use this recovery disc, i will lose 64 bit, right?
What if i want to have 64 bit for next installation, what i have to do? please help me too..
thank you so much!

Hello
The whole situation is quite simply. If you check PC and notebook market you will see that more and more new products will be offered with 64bit operating systems.
So the software production goes slowly in this direction.
Toshiba offers you brand new notebook with 64bit operating system but also offer you 32bit version if you feel comfortable with it and if you want to use some software not designed for 64bit operating systems.
Your notebook is delivered with HDD recovery image and if you read users manuals you can find info that you should create own recovery DVD.
This can be done with preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator. The shortcut for this tool you can find on desktop.
So, before you do anything please create this installation disc. After doing this you can install 32bit version and use it so long you want.
When you want to have 64bit version again use self created recovery disc for installation.
I hope you understand now how it works.
If you have more questions please let me know.

  • How to install window 7 from recovery disc

    DEAR TECHNICALSUPPORT 
    I have purchaase new recovery disc of window 7 and want to install in my hp pavillion g6 1201TX but there are not done from this method ..
    Turn on the computer, and insert the first recovery disc into the drive.
    Press and hold the power button to turn off the computer.
    Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as Personal Media Drives, USB drives, printers, and faxes. Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or power cord.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until a Startup Menu or Select boot device menu opens.
    The selections you need to make vary slightly depending on the type of menu that appears on your screen:
    If a Select Boot Device menu displays, use the up or down arrow key to select the CD/DVD drive, and then press Enter to continue.
    If a Startup Menu opens, press F9 to open "Boot Menu" or "Boot Device Options". Use the up or down arrow key to select the CD/DVD drive. Then press Enter.
    plz suggest me .......

  • DVD recovery disc creator error

    Hiya,
    I have a toshiba L300 series laptop running vista, which basically just crashes as soon as I load it up as soon as I try to do anything in normal mode (it runs perfectly in safe mode). I'd like to reboot my system obviously!
    Basically when I try to run the recovery disc creator, just over half way through creating the first disc I get the error message:
    'Failed to read the following file.
    F:\06491XSP.swm
    (error code:020150-20-00000000)'
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    thanks,
    Olie

    Hi!
    Firmware updates you can get on the Toshiba website but for your Satellite A300 with Mat****a drive I didnt find one.
    Have you tried DVDs from different manufactures? I use always Verbatim disks and never had problems with it.
    Check this!
    Bye

  • Why can't 64-bit Windows Vista install 64-bit Nightly?

    Starting with version 36 of Nightly, I can no longer install the 64-bit version on Windows Vista. The installer says it has to be installed on at least Windows 7 64-bit. Why is that? Windows Vista is a 64-bit operating system.

  • New HD, unable to install Windows 7 from recovery discs

    I have a pavilion dv6. The hard drive recently failed so I replaced it (the original was a Western Digital 640Gb, the new one is WD but 320Gb). To install Windows 7, I used the 6 recovery dvds I made when I originally bought the notebook. After the 6th dvd, the screen displays the hp logo and stays on that screen without restarting. I have tried the Windows install 3 times, the 1st time I had to do a hard shutdown because it just sat at the hp logo screen. The second time the system shut down on its own due to overheating. The third time I waited 1.5hrs before shutting it down. Any help is much appreciated.

    A couple of things to consider.
    1-On most machines Recovery Disks will fail to install if the hdd is smaller than the original, unless maybe there was a configure to order option on your model to choose a smaller hdd.
    2-Have you tested the hdd in BIOS setup, not that uncommon to receive a faulty hdd.
    3- Scroll down on the page and get Partition Wizard Bootable CD ISO and ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd and boot from it. Delete any partitions, create one and format. Next try booting from Recovery again.

  • Install Windows 8 from Recovery disc in virtualbox hangs on splash screen

    Hello Lenovo Community,
    when I try to install the Windows 8 copy I got with my Lenovo S440 in a virtual box environment
    the installation procedure hangs on the windows splash screen. I never saw a Windows 8 installation
    procedure before, so I booted my laptop from the installation media to check if it is corrupted.
    This works fine. A loading dot circle is displayed under the logo after a few seconds and than after quiet
    a while the lenovo wizard is shown... so it has to be an issue with the virtual box. 
    I attached a screenshot to show you where it hangs.
    It'd be great to get some help ! Thanks in advance!

    1) Boot the PC
    2) Start tapping F11 while the PC is booting up.
    This should take you into the recovery manager where you can perform a recovery.
    The recovery will wipe everything off the PC and take it back to factory defaults.

  • 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS

    Hi,
    I have been using SQL server now for a year (self taught). I have recently been given a new laptop by work and advised to install my own SQL Server from my MSDN subscription.
    I have however unwittingly installed a 32 bit version of SQL Server 2014 on my 64 bit machine. After noticing, I have tried to uninstall it but I get the message "the operating system on this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for sql server
    2014".
    I have been advised that the only way now to remove it from my laptop is to get it completely re-built again.
    Can anyone suggest an answer that could avoid me having to re-build my laptop and allow me to simply uninstall? It baffles me that it would allow me to install an incorrect version yet won't allow an uninstall.
    I have tried changing the compatibility settings of the setup.exe in the bootstrap file and had no luck.
    Thanks

    Try this https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/c2bb8040-02f3-4fc7-ad3e-77241e65fe0b/uninstall-sql-express-2014-error?forum=sqlsetupandupgrade
    Probably changing the compatibility level of setup.exe might help.
    However you dont really have to uninstall 32 bit SQL to install 64 bit. Both can go side by side.

  • HP Recovery Discs - Unofficial Install Guide Rev A

    I was so frustrated by the responses by the support people on this forum that I finally Googled " HP Recovery Discs stop at 12 %". The flood gates opened. This problem had existed for well over a year and a half. The support people involved in helping me were well aware of this specific problem and it affected many HP desktops and laptops. They had provided me with some of the tools needed to get these discs to work, but I still feel that they provided me with more misleading info than good. I hope people can read this guide and use it. Please add to it and correct it, if needed. Here goes. Download "Partition Wizard", it's a free program you will have to burn to a CD. If you don't know how to burn .iso files, you'll have to learn. Use it to write zeros to the whole drive. Then create a NTFS Partition and format it. You'll have to hit the "Apply" button after each command. Be aware you will lose all of your data on this hard drive. Next you'll have to download the "Cyberlink Recovery Discs Utility"  (HP sp44645). This utility is needed to setup your hard drive to accept the Recovery Discs, some believe this creates a HP tattoo on the drive. Running sp44645 as administrator creates another bootable disc. Boot it and let it run until you see the green check mark. Remove the disc and power down. Without the disc in the drive, power back up and let it go until it fails to find a boot source. Install your first HP Recovery Disc and power down and power back up. Follow the on screen prompts and answers any questions. After removing the second DVD, it  will probably get stuck at the 12% mark. This is common and could go on for 16 hours, yes 16 hours. Mine took around 8 to continue and it still takes a long time after that. It will ask for the " Drivers and Apps" disc which I didn't install. When it completed, I found that that drive still had everything exactly like a fresh out of the factory machine. All on the bloatware and junk that most people delete was still there. I'm not sure if the third disc would update all the stuff I was trying to get rid of or what it was for. Anyway, for me it wasn't needed. The Windows 7 OS and all of the device drivers were intact. Next, I did a "Minimal Recovery) from the Recovery Partition. This did get rid of most of the junk, but I still had to delete all of the HP Mediasmart software. I find my own software is better and faster than any solutions they provide. I'll leave that up to you. I hope this helps a few people and HP gets off their butts and admits they have a problem with these discs. If you still need more help Google " HP Recovery Discs 12 %", one thread stretches 11 pages and is wear I draw most of this onfo from. These are the real people that deserve the credit for this guide, I just felt it was needed. Good Luck.

    You don't have to format it after zeroing, the sp44645 will get recovery working since it was specifically made to solve the new/blank hard drive issue.

  • Can I switch from Win7 32-bit to 64-bit by clean installing from hidden recovery partition?

    Hi all,
    I'm posting from Australia.
    Two weeks ago I purchased a new Toshiba laptop (http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq) with the following specifications:
    Model: Satellite L550
    Part number: PSLW8A-01101F
    BIOS:  V1.60
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU  P7450  @ 2.13GHz
    RAM: 4GB
    HDD: 500GB
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (pre-installed)
    My question is this:
    If I use the HDD Recovery Utility (the hidden recovery partition) to do a clean re-install of Win7 Pro, will I be given the choice during the re-installation process of installing either the 32-bit or 64-bit version? Or will I not get the choice and simply be restricted to the 32-bit version that came pre-installed?
    Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.
    Nick

    Satellite L550/011
    I can't say for certain, Nick, but it would be a real surprise if Toshiba packaged the restore procedure so that you have a choice of versions.
    If it matters, you should inquire at local Sales Support.
