I can’t make a phone call to Toshiba Support so I dont know where to find the recovery disk. There is no back up stored on my computer. I would like it back to factory settings.
I went to Toshiba site & copied this support link:

I have windows 7 on my laptop and can make a recovery disk. I want to install windows 7 on my desktop which is currently an xp. I ran windows 7 upgrade advisor and it said my desktop is compatible for windows 7. Will using the windows 7 recovery disks to reformat and install windows 7 on it cause any problems with my desktop? Some people have been telling me the bios might get messed up, but idk. What do you think?
A recovery disk isn’t an install disk, it won’t do anything on a computer that doesn’t have Windows 7 already installed. (And if you don’t have an *unused* activation key to use on that computer, the installation would stop running in 30 days even if you could do the installation.)
Hellm my mother has recently bought a new Toshiba Satelite Laptop which is the same thing as what i have. She recieved a toshiba recovery disk for her which it says for A210 and A215 series. My laptop is an A205. Im wondering if it would work fine to use those to disks to recover my A205 series with these disks.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Ummm,, NO.. they are for her computer.. ~
I need to return my gateway laptop back to factory defaults but I don’t have a recovery disk or anything. What do I have to do to get one?
call gateway directly from your phone and talk to a customer service person and ask them to send you a recovery disk and they should send you one all you need to do is give them your home address
good luck to you have a nice day
My H.P. didn’t come with a recovery disk it came with a D: drive instead. How do I take the factory stored programs on D: and restore them to the C: drive?

I have never owned a computer before and need some advice. What kind of disk do I buy, and how do I go about making a recovery disk for my computer? Thanks so much!
Go to
Control Panel
System and Security
And Back up and Restore
And can I ask you a question.
Do you like your Vaio? Is it good quality.
Thanks
Good Luck
I bought a HP computer from Fry’s Electronics and I made a copy of the recovery disk but i had lost the disk. How can I get a recovery disk for my PC?
Thank You very much!
Yes you can if it’s not so old that it’s no longer supported. You’ll need to have the model number an then go to the hp order page here:

You have to order them online and they send them to you in about a week through regular mail .They’ll cost you around $ 15.
I have a Toshiba a135 S4527 and I need a recovery disk for it. If you could tell me who I call or what website I order it from it would be really nice. Thank you.
If you are running windows vista there is an option to create a recovery disc. Thats what mine has. Otherwise if you have to order a recovery disc it will run you around 200. dollars
My laptop is running slow and I want to restore it to factory setting. Do I need to delete files before I run my recovery and applications and drivers disk and if I do, what files do I need to delete? Should I run a backup file every week and do I need a disk to burn them on or just run backup?
You don’t need to delete anything. Backing up is the critical part. You can use a back program, or just drag and drop files onto a USB stick, external drive, DVD-R, or other media.
In addition to personal data, you need to have your applications that didn’t come with the computer (e.g., MS Office) on disc (or other media) & ready to reinstall after the recovery.
I installed a windows 7 trial and now I don’t have vista. So should I just uprade to windows 7 or get a vista recovery disk and wait until my new laptop
Hello Zachary,
If you don’t have your original Vista CD you will need to purchase the full version of Windows 7 (not the upgrade) to install- if you did have Vista you would want to reinstall Vista before upgrading. Upgrading requires a previous Windows OS.
