How To forum: Toshiba HDD recovery help!

Thanks for your answer but how do i make it a ISO disc. there is no ISO files in the folder so i can't really burn them as ISO. also it is 7GB and i dnt know how Dual Destiny disk works.. will Nero be able to handle it ?

Nero is your burning DVD s/w and it should under it operation provide a path to select files or folder. You then select to make an .ISO file of those files/folder selected. It's better to have a folder that all is there to be gotten. However, again this should have been the way it was when it was original location. Under windows back-up or recovery process you can select and from its operation is is a all-in-one operation(have 2-3 blank discs available) which again you tell it what you want. Toshiba should have a help guide in that very procedure, visit their support website. As for making the .ISO file, click on Nero and see what options are present, then make the .ISO file. Once done, you burn the .ISO because that's a burnable ready file just for that purpose. Google for terms to better understand what'e being provided here, to grasp the terminology.

That link (the first one) expects an .iso file as input, not a random collection of files. And it wouldn't be bootable either.

Which is why I stated it should have been done when all was in place during initial day 1 setup. If all those files are correct and still the same arrangement and ONLY was moved within the D drive, maybe it will work. Again, I offered its worth the effort to check results. I still offered to get from OEM any discs. Also, if an user is capable then one can make a bootable disc and/or if so selectable from the burning s/w. That bootable may only offer a menu which then points to some setup or added user intervention to continue. It all varies which is why most OEM immediately post the warning to make "recovery/restore disc(s)" during the owner's 1st days of operation. To do this after prolonged use may not always be so easy, but even if never done, the OEM s/w for such an operation is present and if a user follows procedure may still make as originally intended, *maybe*. Besides burning, one could dump those files to a flash drive just to have them as raw source back-up.

As for the links provided were simply informational and even then it depends on the version of Nero which may vary yet again slightly.
