Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

All advice welcome please.

Hi mate,

I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

    As I see it, * Toshiba Hdd recovery * does not solve your problem. You checked with the other memory, but it always freeze. so, I guess that a hard drive can be a troublemaker. If your laptop is still under warranty, you should contact them (SAV)

  • How to reinstall Vista (using the HP recovery disk) to my laptop HP that has a new hard drive

    The hard drive failed on my HP laptop.  I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible.  Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?

    I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties.  To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).
    I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?

    Hello

    posters have reported problems with the use of a replacement hard drive not HP, etc.

    as you say you know the answer to your problem buy a new hard drive from HP and then reinstall using their recovery disks

    If you have problems with the HP recovery process, contact the manufacturer

    It's their recovery process not microsofts

  • lost user account after using the windows recovery disk.

    Help, please. I turned on my computer and found that windows vista could not start due to a currupt file.

    I have tried rebooting several times without success and ended by using the samsung recovery disc to get windows vista to work.

    I had to create a new user account and have been able to find my original account on the C drive but don't know how to restore it so I don't have start with a new account from scratch.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Information, the original version of windows is now called windows.old and it is here that I want to use the user account.

    Hi Geek teenager,

    Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?

    Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, download, etc.

    You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.

    Set up a new account.

  • Cannot complete the reinstallation of Vista on Compaq laptop using the Compaq recovery disks. Tried to restore disk oem and new close to identical road. Errors: 0xc00000e9 and 0xc0000189 respectively

    With no unusual occurrence that accompanies it, our laptop was able to start and would not initialize anything beyond a screen B & W style BACK and gave the first error (0xc0000e9) on this screen. After several unsuccessful reboots insert us the Compaq recovery disks and crossed the recovery (only full optional with such discs.) At the end of the transfer of recovery (from DVD on computer), the computer tried to restart and reported the same error message. We have seen anything past the transfer of files and B & W on the oem disk. I think the oem HD is bad. Web-surfing suggested the error was associated with a hardware failure and the DVD drive seems to work very well I bought a new HD almost identical to replace the oem version with. Both are Seagate Momentus 160 GB at 5400 RPM drives.

    I re-inserted the recovery with the new installed hard drive disks and it loaded and seemed basically completely install Windows (computer is restored running several times and showed the Windows desktop with sequential programs etc. facilities.)

    To restart the final success, I received an error message in the sense of "windows could not install: Please restart the installation process" and the 0xc000189 error code. I tried again and the result was identical, including the error message. In the process the emblazoned shortcut labeled sunflower administrator with "locked" below briefly appears before the above error appears above him. Navigation on the Web seems to suggest I've hit some kind of security problem that appears when an oem auto-installer is used. He was never a password of any kind on the laptop of our family, if there is one, it should be of Compaq.

    It's an authentic (not stolen etc) oem new install of Windows (the laptop is only 18 months old) and I CD code on the computer but not the case in the installation me I asked for it. I don't know what you looking for installation.

    I'm very confused and any help would be appreciated. Compaq is saying it's a matter of Windows of course.

    Thank you

  • Can satellite P300-20R - I use the latest drivers from site Web AMD/ATI?

    I got a Satellite P300-20R now I want to update the video card drivers - ATi HD4650.

    Can I use the latest Catalyst for the mobility card that I find on the AMD/ATi website, and what is the procedure?

    Toshiba drivers are tested and adapted for certain graphics cards. Driver Toshiba will not force the graphics card to run the highest level and therefore protect laptop from overheating.

    On my Satellite P300, I use Windows 7 32 bit and driver Toshiba. It runs stabile and I'm happy with it.

    To be honest I don t want to use ATI driver and unfortunately cannot give you an answer to your question.

    Hello

    Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

    Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

    Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

  • Can satellite L300-11 - I replace the CPU for the Core 2 Duo T7100?

    I have laptop Toshiba L300-11F. It integrates CPU INTEL CELERON CPU 550 @ 2 GHz, socket 479P. Can I replace this processor on the socketP478 of core2duo T7100 and know if it will work on 800 MGz?

    Hello

    I doubt that you could use this new processor.
    One main thing is important; the chipset of the motherboard must support the new processor. If the chipset will not support the new processor then you can not use it.
    In addition, you can use a CPU with a different outlet

    As indicated in your ad, the new processor supports different socket and therefore it will not match with the motherboard.

  • Can satellite L300-19F - I change the Vista of French to English?

    If this is not the case, do I have to buy a new cd englsih for the same thing or can I get assistance from toshiba for the french to English

    Salim

    It is not possible to change the language on an already preinstalled OS. What you need is new DVD installations on the English language. You'll have to buy one. Toshiba has nothing to do with it.

    The software is delivered on the hardware and you have paid for a license only.

  • Satellite P500 - loop of reboot after using the Toshiba Recovery disk

    Hello

    I have a problem recovery SATELLITE P500. I did the recovery disks. It starts ok on the recovery disk and format the hard drive and copy the disks to the hard drive. Then, he begins installing windows and restarts.

    He then goes to a loop
    (1) marketing and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.
    (2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Second installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interrupt or shut down the computer!
    (3) Windows logo
    (4) close...
    (5) restarts and goes to 1)

    It would be great if someone could help me with this.

    Thank you very much
    Softari

    Hello

    I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

    You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

    So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)
