System recovery




By kenweed on Oct 22, 2007

" "
I have a problem with my toshiba laptop that i bought a few days ago..its a satellite U305-S5087. I was not supplied with a recovery cd, it came with a recovery partition though from which you can create recovery disks from. Now my problem is whenever I try to create the recovery disks I get an error "No HDD recovery area" The Toshiba disk creator cannot be launched!! Can some one help me out on this as I want to resize my hard drive and create a partition for ubuntu linux.

- I have only one partition..that is the C drive. Its 160GB. When I first bought my laptop the recovery disk creator was working..after using my laptop for 2 week its not working. I have not interfered with the drive though..i just installed a number of softwares and thats it. When I try to recover my system by pressing zero key during startup as stipulated in the manual its not working either. NB: after pressing F11 nothing came up.

-   Yes, I just purchase the Toshiba A200.

When I click on Create Recovery Disk to lauche the application (as describe in User's manual), it's po-up an error message that "no HDD recovery area found". I have double check the system using the computer hard disk management and found the partition is there.

NOTE: the laptop is brand new and just 1 week old. It's run Vista Basic by default.
