Ok, here's the scoop on this new error. (This is absurd!!)
... only about 15 minutes into the recovery, while it was copying files, a dialog titled "Copy File" appeared revealing the next in the series of errors. Below is the content of the message in the dialog:
"An unexpected error is preventing the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem:
error 0x80070456: The media in the drive may have changed.
PREINST3.SWM
Type: SWM File
Size: 638 MB
Date Modified 8/23/2007 10:31 AM"
buttons available to select are: "Try Again" "Skip" "Cancel"
Now, perhaps I chuck the piece of junk into the woods behind my house! But, I selected "Try Again".
It continued through the copy portion and then failed in the recovery portion at about 30-40% completion; Error: 10-FC12-0017\ "Recovery Error" was generated again.
I guess I could try installing Ubuntu or Kubuntu again; or just give up and call Toshiba support.
I'll post an update if I find out anything.
If you have additional information that may help me get through this problem, please let m eknow by posting a comment.
Thanks, Hyrum

Any word on what the error was about? My roommate is getting the same error on her laptop and your blog post was the only other similar account I could find :-P
I had the same problem yesterday while trying to restore my Toshiba R205-S6267 to original set up. Toshiba offers to send you a replacement disc for $40 S/H (which I think is a scam to take more money from consumers). The quickest solution is to make a duplicate copy of the disc 1 (using another DVD burner/computer) then use this new disc to perform Recovery. Disk 2 should not present any problems. I did this and the copying process went thru.
I have the same problem will probably need a new recovery disk sent.
i have the same prob when u got a new disk did it work
"Try Again" worked for me, which leads me to believe that suggestion above to make another disc will hopefully solve the glitch
Recently I was working on a toshiba satellite l305 and got this error. Using a Vista 64-bit OEM disk, I could get the OS installed. All 32-bit version OEM and Toshiba Recovery Disk installs failed with this error.
I changed the Hard Drive and the Toshiba Recovery Disks 32-bit Vista reinstalled fine. Running Chkdsk confirm the original disk was going bad.
I think it is safe to conclude this error means it is a hard disk issue.
Tony, if your drive can't read the file on the *bad* disc, why would it be able to copy it to a new disc?
Benno
I received the same error. I selected "Re-Try" and it appears to have worked fine.
Hope this helps.
Same error on a Toshiba A215-7437 after installing new hard drive. Clicked the "Try Again" button and it completed the recovery.
