• Try reformatting Satellite A100

  Hello

  I'm trying to reformat my Toshiba Satellite A100 using the disc of recovery of product supplied in the box. In the instruction booklet, he asks place me the disc in the drive of the laptop power up while holding the F12 and release the button once I see the Toshiba screen. I did this with success and went ahead and chose the option of CD/DVD startup under, after this, it says something like loading _ but once he had loaded, just restarting the laptop and starts the operating system later.

  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  In my eyes you have nothing wrong. If you want to install from the recovery CD you can boot from them.

  There is also another way to boot from the CD.
  Try to insert the CD in the drive and start the laptop computer. Immediately after starting the laptop, then press the C key.
  This should allow booting from the CD.

  If it is not possible to boot from the recovery CD or the drive can read data from the middle of the recovery or the surface of the CD is damaged.

• Question about reformatting Satellite A100 PSAA8Q

  Can someone help me please?

  I tried at least 20 times insertion restore DVD and select boot from CD/DVD-rom, but whenever the HARD drive recovery utilities window is not started.
  Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this?

  Note: what I create Tools & Utilities CD?, but on the Protect & Fix tab, there is no such thing.

  Thank you

  At first, I must say that I don't know what you mean with the HARD drive recovery utility. As much as I know this older A100 has no opportunity to drive HARD, just a recovery media recovery. This means that you can only install the recovery using recovery DVD image.

  New models of laptops have saved the recovery image on the HARD drive and recovery installation can be started by using the installation disk option.

  In any case, to start the process of recovery of Toshiba recovery DVD media you have three options:
  -Set the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device in the BIOS settings
  -When the laptop start press F12 and choose CD/DVD
  -What laptop begins to push C button and keep it down for 10 seconds. This will force the CD/DDVD drive as first boot device

  Please try all of them and post the results.

• Satellite A100 - ODD can't read Win7 installation CD

  I have a pro satellite and the satellite a100. I bought a disc of microsoft to replace XP with windows 7 on the a100.

  The a100 dvd player will not recognize the drive of w7 but he reads audio and video discs very well.

  The satellite pro recognizes the drive of w7 so I think there may be a problem with the dvd-a100 player or its parameters. Can anyone help please?

  Hello

  There is nothing wrong with the settings because there is no special parameters to read a disc.
  If the optical drive does not read the disc, then the disc or the CD/DVD drive isn't OK.

  As the disc works in relation to another optical disc drive, I suppose that the s drive laser lens can not handle support for Windows 7.

  According to my experience of the issues may appear due to the dirty laser lens.
  I recommend you to clean the laser lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol.

  In many cases, this work around simply helped to get the drive recognized again.

• Satellite A100-233: can I use the WiFi for the Peer to Peer network?

  Hello
  Me & my friend have Satellite A100-233, we cannot have network even see ourselves at the TOP unless we are in place contain the wireless Internet Modem.
  If we cannot make network peer-to-peer between us using WiFi?

  I hope you can help!
  Thank you

  Hello

  I don't know if I understand your question, but you want to connect two laptops via the WLan. Am I wrong?
  Well, this type of network connection is called Ad hoc.

  Choose Start-> settings-> network connections, and then click the local network connection you want to share. On the left side of the screen under the management of the network, click on "change settings of this connection. Under the Advanced tab, under Internet connection sharing, check the box "allow other users of the network to connect through this computer's Internet connection".
  There is also a check box to allow other users to enable or disable the Internet connection, if you are so inclined. If your network doesn? t need to access to the Internet, you can skip this paragraph.

  The host system must also be configured with an Ad Hoc network connection and a Set Service identify (SSID). Right-click on the wireless icon in the system tray and choose "view wireless networks". Do NOT yet connect to any wireless network that could appear in the box. Click the Advanced button. This will bring up the Properties window of wireless with the wireless networks tab at the front. Click the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of this tab, select the option "networks from computer to computer (ad hoc) only". Make sure that the box "Auto connects to the non preferred networks" is NOT checked. Click the close (once) button to return to the wireless network tab.
  Under preferred network, click Add. You now need a SSID for this machine, which is actually the name it will use to announce themselves to the other members of the ad hoc wireless network.

  No, you can't increase the RAM of the graphics card.
  The memory of the graphics card is still controlled by the graphics driver.
  This means that if additional memory would be necessary, while the graphics driver would add a part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card

  The whole process runs automatically, and you cannot assign anything manually.

• Satellite A100: Can't choose my preferred on external monitor resolution

  Hello

  When I connect to my external monitor (Bravia) so I'm not able to select alle-screen resolutions this monitor supports (1378 x 1024 or something like that). How can I solve this (laptop Satellite A100 with Vista). And if it is a driver problem... where can I get the right drivers?

  Leon

  It certainly has to do with the graphics driver.
  The graphics driver does not include the resolution you want to choose and so you cannot select it!

  Ask you a good pilot? You already use the correct driver. No one can do so that this other driver would include your favorite resolution.

  I read that many new generation external monitors are supplied with the software (driver) CD. You may need to install the software that came with your monitor.

  However, depending on your graphics card! You can try to install the drivers of the 3rd site part

• Satellite A100 PSAA8U: How can I unlock the system - remove BIOS password?

  I recently bought a model of Satellite A100 PSAA8U - 0S 3033 at a yard sale. After changing the memory and the HARD drive (which was supposed to be the problem with the system), I came to understand, there was a password required before I can use the system. Assuming that this system was reported stolen by anyone. Is it possible to unlock it?

  Moreover, it also has a finger scanner.

  Hello

  You have a problem with BIOS password or maybe HARD drive password?

  > Assuming that this system has been reported stolen by a person

  Where you bought this laptop? In the PC store or as a second hand?
