can I save programs/application or other basic recovery files

Yes. It is an external hard drive. It will behave as another drive on your computer.
1358807
yes. You may need their team to help with what you want. They are very responsive.

Yes, I believe so. In fact it's probably designed for that, to be used with Time Machine, for example.

I have not recovered any deleted files from this device as of now. But it should be similar to recovering data from a regular flash drive. There are various software that can help you with this. But i would read reviews on internet before using anyone of them

No because it is reconditioned. All info can be found on the net at San Disk.

You can format this drive to either FAT32, NTFS, ExFAT, or whatever. Will work for system backup or making a recovery disk.

Shawn Slater is correct you have to make the windows seven recovery disks yourself. it is very easy

Yes, but you can only copy from the internal HD to it. All program recording is to the internal HD none to the external HD. From time to time you must copy internal to external then erase the internal to maintain space for program recording.

Yes. I bought a SanDisk sd card and can save everything except a few apps to the sd card.

Mostly Add/Remove Programs will work, but I like to use CCleaner (aka Crap Cleaner). It is a good utility for disk health and full removal of programs.Hope that helps!

The disk will not restore any file you have lost .this disk is for recovery system only.To restore a deleted file or folder Open Computer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Computer. Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder, right-click it, and then click Restore previous versions. If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example C:\, right-click the drive, and then click Restore previous versions. You'll see a list of available previous versions of the file or folder. The list will include files saved on a backup (if you are using Windows Backup to back up your files) as well as restore points, if both types are available.

Basically, any new operating system installs best on a newly formatted HD. This means your computer's empty. You are not going to save your programs and data. Be aware most programs will need to be reinstalled, then it's data can be restored. This being said, your computer should forget who it was and it's component parts also, part of a OEM disk protocol is to format your HD. Be sure to have access to your computer's manufactures web sit for driver access. Win 7 Pro has a good driver data base but may not have your network card or wireless radio. Having an Ethernet dongle is recommended. This is if you have an OEM OS disk, an update disk is different. Not as clean of a reinstall of the OS, I've heard.

depending on the amount of information that you have and how do you want to do the back up(just copying all the information, creating the back up file (system only) or creating the back up file with all the info (system and files))

Can't say, other than the onekey recovery system. I've not really had any issues to have to reformat.

I would say Yes, but as soon as you have it installed be sure to format the drive. Also, be sure that you have ALL your files backed up, and get ready for a long process of updating the operating system, and your security software, only after that can you reinstall your programs and finally after that you can restore your files. I hope you have tremendous amount of patience. Good luck

I have removed almost all of it except web cam app and cd recovery creator... I bought a netbook and it greatly benefits from a less is more approach.... FYI if you uninstall anything you want back, just go to the toshiba website, for computers/support and when you type in your model you can download all of the bundled programs individually and also get updates etc...
