• Tecra A10 - dual boot XP and Windows 7

  Can I set up my Tecra A10 Windows 7 from dual boot with XP?

  I created a partition on the HARD drive. When I try to start my load of CIP 2 ser XP I can almost the first Setup screen then bomb out with a message saying to continue would be detrimental to my installation of Windows 7.

  Any ideas. Bobg

  Hello

  Of course, you can do a system dual boot with both operating systems. But before you change anything on the HARD drive partitions you create the Toshiba Recovery disk if you didn t it yet. With this record, you can restore the factory settings every time.

  Generally if you have installed Windows 7 first of all you need to create a new partition for Windows XP. You can install XP on this partition and you need to change the boot sector using EasyBCD or another tool.

  In your case, I would ask Google you'll find hundreds of tutorials how to make a system dual-boot. ;)

• Tecra A10 - 1 H 1: I can boot from extrnal drive is connected to ESATA

  Hello
  I need to buy a new laptop. What I'm looking for is a laptop with an ESATA connector. And it must be possible to boot from an external drive connected to the ESATA connector.

  I found the Tecra A10 - 1 H 1. The specification seems perfectly for me. But I cannont find information, it is possible to boot from a drive connected to the ESATA connector. Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Concerning
  Norbert Ruessmann

  Hello

  A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

  I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

  Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

• Tecra A10 with wrong source IP address ping responses

  Hello!

  I have problems with my network connection.

  After installing Win7 pro answers tecra A10 ping on the lan with 192.168.0.239 port, but he 192.168.211.36 the DHCP server.
  In Wireshark on tecra A10 I don't see demand for IGMP but no answer.

  On the other PC the answer comes a false IP (and of course a wrong MAC).
  If I disconnect the lan cable a stop responses.
  If I boot in Linux, everything's fine.

  So what software changes IP address?
  I see no answer in wireshark, I think it might be something around the network card.
  Internet is OK, but I can't do any remote.

  Someone at - it an idea?

  If your problem is the remote control only, right?

  If I understand right you don t use original Toshiba recovery image so no one here Don t know exactly what have you installed and you do exactly.
  If your LAN/WLAN card working properly and you can connect to your router, this proves that there is no hardware problem.

  Have you tried the same thing with the original preinstalled recovery image?

• How to get to the settings, DATA from the old HARD drive to new Tecra A10

  My 'old' TECRA A2"refused to fly (fell on the desk)... Screen and grapfic external duty!
  But the HARD drive is still OK and works via an external USB HD adapter to my other PC.

  Can read all the files in the root directory,
  * can NOT read only password protected those *:
  means all files * DOCS and SETTINGS below *.

  My password old route was:
  PW to START WIN XP
  OUTLOOK 2003 via the backup.pst PW

  Bought a new A10 TECTRA...

  HOW can I get the form parameters of DATA etc., my old HDD via USB in my new TECRA A10?

  ANY Suggestion?

  Hello!

  As far as I know that you must add the Group everyone in the folder options. Right-click on the folder-online security-online advanced-online (effective) permissions
  There, you must add the user to the other laptop or for example all users. Then it should work.
  I had this problem for 1 or 2 years and it worked for me.

  A friend of mine told me that he was able to copy the data to a Linux system. You can start form a Linux boot CD/DVD, and then copy the data on the other PC.

• Tecra A10 does'nt recognize 2nd HARD drive in the Bay of the STRANGE

  Hello

  My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
  I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
  is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
  Does anyone have a solution?

  Thank you for your experience of return.
  Best regards

  Hello

  I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
  The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

  But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
  You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
  After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

  I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

• Tecra A10 - 12Z BIOS 1.6 wanted to move to 3, but 'not supported' - W7H32

  There are many problems with this Tecra A10.

  As Windows Xp is disabled, I tried Windows 7, which is too awkward, so I wanted to try the eSATA operating systems. Although I could install Lubuntu on eSATA it would not start (no hard drive inside most) to eSATA, but booted from USB.

  Read in the forum and put the Windows 7 Home 32 disk inside again and downloaded the BIOS update only to get a response "not supported".

  The A10 has a Windows Vista professional sticker slot, is the only OS where this Tecra can get BIOS updated?

  We have no records of Windows Vista.

  Installation of Windows 2000 or XP, it's really a lot of time, even for 9 x.

  The last beta demoCD with eComStation, todays OS/2Warp, works fine on the Tecra, it has Windows integrated 3.11, is that not? Windows 3.11 on a SD card installation must be as fast and as possible. If there are drivers available?

  ReactOS (freeWindowsXP) is usually able to boot, but it is still in the alpha stage!

  As for flat BACK? There are the LiveCD with BACK.

  You can also find Vista LiveCD socalled VistaPE CDs on the net, but their origin is unknown.

  What is the best option? Is there only one option?

  Hello

  > Although I could install Lubuntu on eSATA it would not start (no hard drive inside most) to eSATA, but booted from USB
  I guess that the BIOS does not support booting eSATA port but just the USB port.
  But it's just an idea... that should be checked once more in the BIOS settings.
  Maybe a BIOS update would also help.

  > Read in the forum and put the Windows 7 Home 32 disk inside again and downloaded the BIOS update only to get a response "not supported".

  BIOS update may be run from under Windows system only. But the BIOS update also requires some software additional Toshiba which depends on the system.

  In the case of Windows 7 or Vista, the value of added Toshiba package must be installed. In the case of Win XP, you must install the package of common Modules.

  To be honest I don t understand what you want to do
  Tecra A10 is a great unit. I have the successor called Tecra A11. I use Win 7 and its really awesome OS. Much better than the beginning of Win XP

• Cannot restore my Tecra A10 from recovery disc

  Hello

  I'm having a problem restoring my C disk from a disk image. The Toshiba HARD drive recovery utility seems to have disappeared from my computer.
  When I followed the instructions for restoring (be it by pressing 0, or F8 during startup to access the HARD drive recovery utility) I finally get a message saying

  "The creation of means of recovery is impossibe! File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

  (I get a similar message if I try to open the Toshiba recovery disc creator in the start menu)

  Because this does not work, I tried using recovery discs that I have made previously using the same utility. I insert the disk and start the computer (according to instructions), but nothing happens and it starts Windows normally. How can I use these discs?

  My laptop is a Tecra A10 16 d Windows vista professional.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  As much as I know saved on HARD drive recovery image can't disappear. I guess you did a few exchanges of structure of HARD drive and now recorded image is not found by the wizard of HARD drive recovery or Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Both of these tools know where to look for it, but if they do not find specific markers you will get this message.

  Now the only option for you is the use of recovery disks.
  Do you use this disk for the first time now?
  When you check the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer you will see the content?

  Then try to boot using the created disc. Start Notepad, and then press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the disc in the ODD, choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

  What happens when you do this?

• VT is enabled on Tecra A10-112

  I am considering buying a Tecra A10-112 and I need to know if the VT instructions are enabled. It's a question mark or break for me because I want it to load 64-bit virtualization. I don't think it's as simple that if the processor supports, the BIOS must support it as well.

  I had problems before with a purchase of an Acer to find out that they had, apparently, voluntarily disabled the VT instructions and provided no way to turn them on and no way to upgrade the BIOS to allow their use.

  I use vmware on a Linux host, if that helps anyone to answer, but I don't think it'll make a difference.

  Thanks for your time

  Got an answer to my own question, so I'm just posting in case anyone else is interested.

  I just spoke to a very helpful guy called Andy, on the line to support UK. He said that Yes, it supports 64-bit virtualization. It was also very confident I could find Toshiba equipment superior to what I had owned previously. I hope it is correct.

• P70-A-11N satellite: cannot boot Linux from USB flash memory

  Hello

  so far, I found no way to start an on-line system to a bootable USB key with a linux operating system installed.
  It is for sure a bios issue and the choice of preferences. Maybe someone has a solution for this problem!

  It's a P70 - A - 11N Notebook Toshiba

  Thank you very much in advance

  Hello

  I never tested the P70 - A myself, but I'm sure it will be able to boot Linux Live glue.
  Please consider what applies in your case:

  -your computer running Win 8.X (or upgraded from Win8.X to Win10) at the present time? If so, you probably use UEFI and secure boot.
  -you use an able to start with active secure boot Linux dist? End tracks major distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora (and probably many others!) can start with active secure boot.
  S ' Please keep in mind that victory 8.X can be a bit tricky. Cold boot (power off boot), it normally (it's adjustable in power management, so that it is not written in stone!) the unit will not worry if there are other bootable media from the unit (such as a USB key). Or he'll care for your F12-pressings reach the start menu.
  To get the start menu, you should let Windows start on a connection or a desk. Then select restart.
  The operating system stops and the device will restart. When this happens, you have to be quick and press F12 repeatedly to interrupt the boot process.
  Look at the screen. As soon as TOSHIBA logo appears, press F12 repeatedly.
  You should get the boot menu.

  I hope this helps!

• Tecra A10 - order of Installation of XP, other updates to Windows and JRE

  Hello

  Sorry to post a new thread, but the old "[Tecra A10 - installation for XP order |]" http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=45611] "being closed and my question is about the same subject."

  I got hold of a Tecra A10 PTSB0A-002001 so I would install XP SP3 top the order of installing additional drivers from Toshiba is very useful. Thanks Ivan25 for this information.

  Toshiba has also include a Java Runtime Environment 2 package which I intend to replace it with a JSE 7. I would like to know in what order it should be installed?

  In addition, after installing XP SP3 there are still hundreds of Windows updates to apply these updates to Windows must be installed directly after installation of XP SP3 or drivers Toshiba?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  See you soon
  Eric

  Post edited by: ebouge

  Java Runtime Environment 2 package can be installed after the installation of all the current drivers and substantial tools Java Runtime Environment isn t, if it to install other drivers and tools and so it s not very important when the package would be installed.

  You must install all updates of Win XP after installing Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  During the installation of the update, the laptop must be restarted several times and the whole process could take a while

  However, from my point of few, Win XP isn't the best choice now since Microsoft only provides no support for this system now

• Tecra A10 - left key of the mouse on the touchpad is "locked".

  Dear forum
  Left click Mouse touchpad is a little distorted. I had a peek inside the palmrest, and there is a white plastic stand thing that broke. It seems to happen this way with a large number of these particular models. Please do you know is there a repair or the thing below available to replace the broken white plastic and if necessary

  How much does it cost?

  You should get in contact with the provider of service authorized in your country in order to fix hardware problems.
  Broken parts must be replaced. Result s and in the case where the guarantee is valid, should be set the laptop for free. Otherwise, you will need to pay for the repair of laptop
