• How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

  Please, I desperately need help.

  My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
  It's on the screen threre.

  He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

  How am I suppose to install windows vista?
  Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

  Anyone with an idea. Please

  > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  It was a big mistake buddy
  The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
  But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

  Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

  You need a recovery disk, and you can order it here:

• Satellite A300 - need recovery disk

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 with Windows Vista pre installed, but I did not receive any CD or DVD with Vista. I have just a sticker with the CD key on the back of the laptop.

  I installed Windows XP for personal reason and now I want to reinstall Windows Vista by using the HDD Recovery folder.
  Can I install or I should have done a DVD with Vista?

  Thank you

  Sorry, but now you are not able to install Vista with HARD drive recovery. HARD drive recovery can only be used on a system Windows Vista installed XP doesn t support this function.

  Your mistake was that you didn't burn the recovery disk with Vista Toshiba recovery disc creator, and now, you are not able to burn it.

  The only way to return Vista is the recovery disk, and now you have to order it on the site of Toshiba or an authorized service provider.

• Re: Can I use the other Satellite U400 series recovery disk

  I have Toshiba Satellite U400 121. My recovery disk does not work may be due the scratches that I see in it. I took the laptop to the Toshiba Center service and I got a negative support of them. They said, they can't put the Windows Vista because the recovery disk is not there, and they have put Windows XP inside and handed to me.
  later I got to know that Windows Xp is not Geninue one. :|

  I can still see one of the Partition 'D:' with folder HDDRecovery inside.

  So can I use Recovery Disk of all PC model Toshiba laptop other than the Toshiba Satellite U400 121 recovery disk.

  In fact, I tried with the other model recovery disk, that at boot with this disk, Recovery Wizard starts up, but since I'm not sure about this one I stopped there and brought out.

  Please one of you let me know if you have valuable contributions on this.

  suggestions are welcome!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I don't know Mr. which series Satellite U400-121, it is, but you must use the recovery disc designed specifically for this series of laptop!

  Another recovery disc cannot be used because the drivers and tools that have been implemented in the image of Toshiba are not designed for this series of laptop!

  By the way; You can order the CD from recovery from here:

• Satellite A300-16I: how to set up six buttons next to the switch ON / OFF?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I.
  My problem with these media keys near the keys ON / OFF, it is that they always start Windows Media Player.
  And because I rarely use this program I would set up, so that it would start Winamp.

  If anyone has any idea how it's dan I would really appreciate to hear from you.

  Yours,
  Gahivelvel

  Hello

  I think that's not possible.
  On my Toshiba laptop control buttons are preconfigured and the settings cannot be changed.

  I presume that it of the case even on your laptop.

  What OS came preinstalled on your A300?

  If you are using Windows XP, then you can view the tool called; Toshiba controls
  It s in the control panel.

  Here you can configure the buttons; CD/DVD and lighting On / OFF

• No Satellite A300 - 16I Conexant soundcard no hardware buffering?

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I (PSAJ4E). I downgraded from Windows Vista to Windows XP Pro and installed all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba driver for Win XP for this model.

  Everything works fine, except the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 sound card can be run in software mode, according to a test of DirectX. It is said that it can not access the material buffer.
  Now all Windows system seems to sound like they are read at a sample rate different (about 1 semitone lower) they should sound.
  Also, when I play music on the built-in harman/kardon speakers, the sound has cracks and jumps into it and you can hear the speakers of the difficulty to play.

  As I remember, the sound was much better with the Vista driver when this OS was still installed.

  I tried a lot of things. Installed different versions of the sound driver from different sites, no luck.
  I'm running SP3, and I noticed a patch of Windows (KB888111) for SP2 that installs the Bus High Definition Audio. So I uninstalled SP3 and tried the hotfix, no luck.
  Also let Windows install the driver itself did not work, and there is no update driver on Windows Update.

  Any help is appreciated :)

  Kind regards

  Mano

  Sorry, but I want to clarify something. What you hear with * the sound was much better with the Vista driver when this OS was installed yet *? Much better? Do you mean the sound was good or what?

• Satellite A300-243 - simple disk recovery & keys do not work

  Hello, I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite A300 243, and I decided to reinstall the system to Vista Ultimate 64 bit (because of the use of the 4 GB ram).

  It took me a few hours, but ultimately I found the necessary drivers and everything works fine, except one thing - multimedia keys (I think they are called easy keys). Start, Stop, next and preview track trace works great, but the first (default used for the activation/deactivation of illumination) and the second (default used for starting of W Media Player) do not work. I installed the latest version of VAP for Vista 64-bit and to Toshiba button support, I'm not able to change anything. The list, where normally I am able to choose a key to change its function, is empty. I found some similar problems on this forum, but no useful answer - lookes like the only way is to use the Toshiba Recovery option, and at this point, I get to my second problem.

  The second problem is in Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator and Toshiba HDD Recovery tool. At first, until I reinstalled Vista 64 bit version I wanted to create the recovery disk, but Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator just didn't start. Then I found the HARD drive recovery option, and I've read, that this tool is placed on a hidden partition, so I thought that I will be able to recover the old system with this tool in the case of any compication. Then I reinstalled the system and wish to return to 32 bits, because he looked like his slower and at first I was not able to find all the necessary drivers. And what a surprise - recovery tool has disappeared!

  The only thing I'm missing on the 64-bit version is now these two multimedia keys.

  And the last question - are there opportunities to get a recovery with Vista 64-bit disk?

  Hello

  As you said for easy keys or also called buttons lighting you need Toshiba value added Package. Satellite A300-243 belongs to the series of PSAG8E and that's why you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba site tools:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing the VAP, make sure that all the drivers are installed and for Vista SP1 at least. Then you can install it and normally then you can use the FN buttons for lighting, etc..
  Also, make sure that you have installed the latest BIOS for your laptop.

  Regarding your problem with the recovery disk creator and drive HARD recovery option, I can only say that these features are only available on the preinstalled version of Vista. This means that if you upgrade to Vista 64 bit you can t use HARD drive recovery option more and also the recovery disk creator.
  So if the recovery disc creator doesn't work you need to use HARD drive recovery option, but it is not stored on a hidden partition. These files are stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDrecovery. The hidden partition do you mean belongs is a feature in Vista: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment

  But just a question: have you ever created a recovery disk?

• Satellite A300-1MC - recovery does not work

  I have a Satellite A300-1MC. It does not start in windows is right there with the Welcome screen. PC diagnosis indicates that the hard drive is faulty. I replaced the hard drive with a MK3276GSX Toshiba MK3252GSX - both are 320 GB.

  When I insert the recovery disc I get the following message when disk 2 is running "insert the next recovery means that contains the D:\08008XSP6 file. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT.

  Any ideas where I'm going from here? »

  Hello

  Are you sure that you Recovery disk was created correctly?
  This recovery disk function properly in the past?

  You label the discs properly?

  It seems that there is a problem with the recovery disk.

• Re: Satellite A300-1MC: recovery would restore to the original system?

  The story so far...

  Laptop failed (A300-1MC)

  No available recovery disk
  Replaced HARD drive
  Installed Vista using the borrowed from the previous model of Toshiba Satellite recovery disk
  Installed the missing drivers-online work system without valid product key
  Connected the old HARD drive using the box external usb
  Launched original TRORDCLauncher on the old disk - no error

  So now, I apparently have 2 recovery DVDs.

  Question: Will these DVD restore to original system?

  The previous Satellite was no TRORDCLauncher and come included with recovery disks

  I am aware of the correct procedure-online recovery disks in order to https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu

  > So now apparently I 2 recovery DVDs.

  Recovery disk would still set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of purchase

• Re: Satellite A300 - the recovery disc include music and programs?

  I have a Satellite A300 and were invited to "recover"my computer."

  I did not yet a recovery disk and I was wondering if the files (ie. music) would be included in the recovery, and if they were not would be removed. Also, I was wondering about the programs (ie. iTunes), it will be recovered because I do the recovery with installed disk.

  It's just a problem because I have 250GB of music and I would like to take a moment to move to my laptop hard drive and it would really screw up iTunes.

  Cheers, Levi

  Hello

  It s a good idea that you think about the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk because you need so Vista doesn t start. This could happen

  In any case, the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can create with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. What does the program do?
  The recovery disk creator burn a boot drive with a factory image. This means that all the files you have stored on the computer or programs that you have installed are not on the recovery disk. The image I made is stored on the second partition of your laptop in the folder HDDrecovery.

  So before starting the recovery disk, you should back up all the files on a DVD or external HARD disk. The complete HARD disk will be formatted with the recovery disk.

  Moreover, you know the function of HARD drive recovery? It s similar to drive recovery but it formats only the first partition. You can start this feature Toshiba if you go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer and then choose the Toshiba Recovery option. Then you come back to factory settings.

  But the files and programs that you have installed don t affect this image. So don t you worry about this and back up your files at any time.

  I hope you understand now and if you have any other questions, please let us know!

  Good bye

• Questions about pratitions by Satellite A300 HDD & recovery

  Hi all

  I m planning to buy the new model laptop Satellite A300 - 1 GR for my work.
  But I found that there is a problem. Many users face when dealing with laptop in general which is the removal of the partition when you use recovery disk to any operating system failure & lose data out there on other readers.
  So what I want is a solution that makes me able to track:

  1 have several drives C, D, E, etc.
  2 - the operating system is on the C drive & my work on other data
  3. in the case of any problem or failure in the operating system, I can format the entire disk C: & install another OS on it without any deletion or modification on other readers that my data stored on
  4 - ability to install different operating system like Windows Vista, XP or Linux s

  I just want just my new laptop to be like my desktop (Full controlled by me) PC

  Best regards

  Hey Buddy

  Will try to provide a little light on the case ;)

  The A300 is equipped with the function of HARD drive recovery. This means that you can recover the laptop without the DVD of the OS.
  The installation will start from the HARD drive.
  Of course, there is a possibility to create a Toshiba Recovery DVD using a preinstalled Toshiba disc creator.
  After the creation of DVD de Toshiba Recovery you can format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions (if you want).

  Up to now, we come to the point that you have requested;

  The whole HARD disk will be formatted (also partitions) If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  Why? I think that the recovery DVDs was designed for one purpose; parameters of the laptop back to the factor settings.
  And this is what the recovery DVDs. It sets everything to its original state.

  So, if you want to keep your data on the other partition, then you shouldn't use the Toshiba Recovery DVD but an original disc of Microsoft Windows OS.

  In addition he s always advisable to back up the data on an example external HARD drive.
  Then it would be no problem to recover the data on the laptops HDD.

  See you soon
