Others have copied my video, but they fail to show you the critical details required for a perfect restoration to factory new settings.
This is the first video uploaded to RU-vid that gives you all the information you need to get your laptop up and running factory new again.
I would appreciate it if you could rate, share, and subscribe to my channel as well!
I create these videos so you are not taken advantage of by some company that charges you $60-$200 who ultimately just uses this guide. If you have any trouble browse through the comments section for replies. Post your question in the comment section if it hasn't been answered and I will reply as soon as I can.
Today you will discover how to restore most Toshiba satellite laptop / notebook computers without needing that slow, annoying, and often times lost restore DVD.
Keep in mind this doesn't work for all of the laptops, especially the older ones with smaller hard drives.
I have been informed it does work on the following models.
Toshiba C655
Toshiba l655
Toshiba L655-S5154
Toshiba L755-S5170
Toshiba L635
Toshiba Satellite c660d-16p
Toshiba NB305-N442BL
I have been informed it DOES NOT work on the following models:
Toshiba a300 1qe
Toshiba L755d-110
Toshiba c50 a441
Mixed results:
Toshiba a200(-2B7)
Be sure to backup all of your important documents beforehand. I will not be held responsible for any lost or damaged data or hardware.
This video is strictly here to demonstrate how I repaired this particular computer and your configuration may be different.
support.toshiba... .
If you find that you need drivers, or want the latest you can get them at support.toshiba... .
If you need a recovery dvd for any reason you can get it from toshiba at this site
support.toshiba...
simply enter your information and they can get one for you. Because each laptop is different they will all vary on what is included.

Willie Young felt the same when i was having troubles after some 3 gigs of first time windows update and having some errors with A LOT of softwares and startups and dll and exe errors, gladly system restore did the trick the warning sign looks scary if you were to read it for the first time xD

My dear friend you saved me from time and money!!!! Thank you!!! I have a Satellite M40x-163 and yesterday it just couldn't boot windows.....then I spotted your video and followed your instructions....the only thing I did was to press "0" while launch and everything came back to normal!

@NoonGalaxy 8 лет назад

I hold the 0 key and it keeps beeping. After the beep ends, it just starts up windows normally...why?

@galaxyspirit1055 8 лет назад

+Wormy McSquirmy You guys have to keep holding 0 until the beep stops

@mrpelb6847 8 лет назад

I did that, then it started up normally again as soon as the beeping stopped.

I have this Satellite M505D-S4000 which I tried to format but kept giving me the "BOOTMGR IS MISSING" message, so thank you for this!.. You not only saved me time-and possibly money- but you also saved me FACE, which is more important than money in my family..thanks again you the man!

You are an absolute legend! After searching for hours and hours on google on how to restore my Toshiba laptop to factory state I searched RU-vid as a last resort. Came across your video and worked exactly how you said. Thanks very much! Top man!

@stevo53 9 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your solution for what appeared to be a major headache, which I was struggling with trying to get my granddaughter's laptop back to a usable state. Although the process itself was a bit slow, it's simple enough, when you know how. So now, after many fruitless and frustrating other searches, I'm happy and so is the GD. Thanks again

@benmedina3206 8 лет назад

man, thank you so much for this video. I upgraded to windows 10 but decided to go back to 7 after I found out that 10 eats up allot of bandwidth. I was dreading having to find and reinstall all the drivers for my toshiba. I had already reinstalled 7 then ran across your video. I located the restore partition after watching your video and followed your instructions. BAMN! I got my computer back to "out of the box" status without any extra work! !!

Thank you Jon for a well-paced tutorial. You have a really good speaking voice young man. I love Pachelbel's Cannon. I have a crushed lower spine and can be in pain any time during the day or night. Here's hoping you'll be okay one day. Regards from the UK.

@mkrinaldo3308 8 лет назад

This didn't work for me, I get stuck at the Starting Windows screen but I appreciate when people share their knowledge to help others so thank you for sharing... I think it's the hard drive, not the process, which is probably why it just shut down in the middle of working and never recovered. Anyway, I saw some of the mean and nasty comments some people left, totally uncalled for and unnecessary and I just wanted to say thanks for trying to help, even the ungrateful, it's more then Toshiba has done. Have a great day

@vamcmag 10 лет назад

Thank you, Jon Courtney! I have spent hours and weeks fiddling with Toshiba's useless forums and helps and failing recovery disk creators, etc. etc. This worked on a family member's Toshiba L505D-S5965! A few hours working with this problem (and inevitable glitches in Toshiba software) and I think we have a fully operational laptop once again! Hurray!

@austinmckinney9421 10 лет назад

Although this video wasn't an up to date tutorial for the computer I have I still found this helpful in a few ways. Hope your back gest better and you can get the money. My grandpa was the same way and he is better now.

@ahuggins7728 10 лет назад

Thanks Jon although this tutorial didn't work for my Toshiba (mine has automatic repair that I can't figure out how to bypass) I really appreciate the time you put into trying to help so many. My Toshiba is saying after the initial automatic repair that *A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. Phill.dll ....I guess I just wasted 800 bucks that I couldn't afford from the jump. Thanks again buddy

@ChickenWingsMelon 11 лет назад

@cbavoidance 9 лет назад

This works. It was the only way I could remove a virus on the partition of my hard disk. Best to recover to NEW OUT OF BOX state. Save your files to a USB stick. Be sure to scan those files for any virus before moving them back to your restored system!

@ShadowXerneas 12 лет назад

thanks man. i wanted to restore my computer for my mom so she could use it after i got a new one but everyone told me, "need the backup dvd, need the backup dvd" and it got super frustrating. although i had to admit after having it for 4 years i was about ready to cry when i went through with it. but better my laptop starts fresh for my mom rather than going to her as a POS that crashes every 10 minutes.

@jstnbrnhm 11 лет назад

Hey great video! Question: Will this work on a brand new replacement hard drive?

@awgybop1 8 лет назад

For people complaining this does not work, it only works with newer ones. I think it started when they changed their line to "Leading Innovation" from "In touch with tomorrow" The newer have a separate "recovery" partition, old ones didn't have this and require the CD

@andysaunders3708 2 года назад

Mate, it was worth a shot, but all I get is repetive beeping. Starts again, without the option to restore it, and even System Restore doen't give me that option. May shift back over to Linux - at least it worked, and was fast.

@dude1127494 10 лет назад

The method that is in this video is the correct one for my Laptop. I just needed the second disk of the two recovery disks, after that I decided to abandon the process in hopes that it was not too far in the process, I got a Boot error, Boot manager is missing, press Ctrl+Alt+Del. I've noticed that I have about 2 options but I'm not sure I they will end up working, get the recovery disks or get my Vista OS installed again, the thing is that the laptop never came with the OS disk just the product key. Thanks for responding quickly, appreciate it

@cmarndt2 11 лет назад

Thank you very much for the video! I finally got back my old laptop from a friend and it was SO freaking slow with everything he added, so I needed to fix it!

@lilrican1971 10 лет назад

this may help as well,, turn on your laptop and push f2 (alot or once) into you are in the bios, look for the boot opinion and change it from cd/dvd to hdd save then exit. repeat what you learned from this video and you should be able to restore , NOTE this will not work if windows was not factory install on the hard drive. if this is case you will need the boot disks .... hope it work

@denyabindan6073 10 лет назад

@adrianzincke8656 10 лет назад

Hi. Many thanks for the video. I haven't done the restore yet but I am thinking of doing it because I am selling my laptop and I want to make sure that the new owner will not be able to recover information like passwords and other information. Will this restore method ensure that everything is completely erased and not recoverable? Cheers

Thanks for the video, however I replaced my Hard drive and it will not work for me because it is a wiped clean drive . I tried using my recovery media from Toshiba however the netbook NB505 does not recognize the USB port when I go into BIOS. Any ideas? Thanks

@JohnnyCyberspace 11 лет назад

Jon, will this remove any viruses or malware/spyware when you do this? I may have picked some of this up using a Wi-Fi hot spot the other day. Should I save important documents and pictures to a flash drive before I do this? Please let me know. Thanks Jon.

@danwat1234 9 лет назад

You don't have to press '0' while turning on the computer to get into the Toshiba Recovery Wizard. You could also press F8 while the computer is turning on so you have the list of options including last known good config, safe mod but also at the top is 'repair computer', that also will launch the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.

@VanCityGuy1 9 лет назад

Thank you, I have an oldish toshiba satellite note book with no cd drive, but with a newer hard drive, the computer kept freezing up. I did not have to do this, but I was told that after a while the computer gets `windows rot`, in other words it picks up registry errors and viruses and such, and doing this cleans it and speeds it up. It is a long process as you have to install possibly years of microsoft updates, but is better than buying a new computer and is worth a shot right?

@Lifeandeverythingelse 10 лет назад

Hey Jon,I'm currently doing this to my satellite c655. I did this even before I watched your video. The reason why I searched online for videos similar as yours since I am stuck at "setup is starting services". This is the second time I did this. The first time I did this I was also stuck at "setup is starting services" for almost 4hrs already I thought the computer froze so I interrupted it (silly me). When I tried to turn it on it said the recovery cannot continue because it was interrupted so I started the recovery again. And now I am at that point again. After I Clicked finish at Recovery complete page I left the laptop to do its thing but now it's stuck, It has been 11 hrs since I clicked finish and it is still at "setup is starting services" page. My laptop started running slow when my daughter accidentally dropped it on the floor a few months ago. I decided to do a recovery when it keeps on freezing every time I turn it on. I think the hard drive is damaged.
