Equium A100-027: recovery disk remove second partition data?

I installed the update of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and now the laptop will not charge.
I have a partitioned hard drive and will have to use the restore product disc.

I have a lot of pictures and things on the second part of the hard drive.
I want to know if I use the restore disc it will remove the imformaton on the second drive hard or as the first?

Thank you

Hello

The recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will be also possible to erase all partitions created on the HARD drive!
This means that you will lose your photos and all data stored on the HARD drive.

Therefore, you must back up the data before using the recovery disk!

  • Equium A100 - 027 Vista: the screen goes black for just 1 second

    I was wondering if anyone here can tell me what is the problem with my laptop. That's all new Toshiba Equium A100-027. Quite often, my screen will turn black for just a second, and then it will return to normal again.

    I changed my power settings, so it is not because of the screen laptop will. Most of the time, it's going to happen when I run the program in full-screen on real player, but it happens when I play mahjong titans which is included in microsoft vista.

    HM, just a small suggestion to check if you have a hardware related problem or some software:

    Connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if the problem still occurs.
    If the problem occurs with an external monitor then check that you have installed the software and try uninstalling the last installed software, perhaps the best will be step by step.

    So if all else fails, then try a recovery.

  • Equium A100-027 touchpad not responding

    I have an equium a100-027 and today the touchpad was funny.
    For example, I went to move and sometimes it wouldn't be no move, moved very little, or when he moved quickly moved to around to the same place that it was before.

    I assumed that maybe it's just that my computer has been used too much memory or something. But then later, it no longer responds. I restarted my computer and the same problem, it does not move.

    Before anyone suggests, I in fact checked all the settings for it. I know there is a shortcut (fn + f9) to turn it off.
    However, I already checked and it is activated.
    I am falling quickly with this computer, six months old and already had two problems with it.

    Anyone can suggest a way to solve this problem, or should he be returned to be repaired?

    If it must be returned, how should I do this?
    I bought of Dixons, and when I came down to them with my last number, they said they have no responsibility and I had to call "the tech guy".

    This ended up being A £1.50 tech support number overcharge, which I'm not call again.
    This laptop has only 6 months, clearly under warranty. I don't have to pay who knows how much on a phone call just to get it fixed.

    Sorry if this sounds like a hangover, just in a bad mood with this computer at the minute.
    Thanks for any help! =-)

    Hello

    I see that you're desperate. Sorry to hear this story.
    But before you send this laptop to any point of service, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    This procedure will put the laptop to factory settings!

    If the touchpad does not work after reinstalling new contact ASP in your country.
    The service provider authorized in your country will be able to help you and if your warranty is valid, everything must be done for free.

    I can't believe that the appeal could cost about £1.5 because it s a common phone number.

    If you want to find the ASP please check this:

  • Need information about HDD upgrade on Equium A100-027

    HI people :-)

    Can I change the HARD disk drive in my Equium a100 027 for one with a speed of 7200 RPM?

    If not what is the largest size of HARD drive I can put in?

    It is also useful to do a lot to make a dual boot with Vista and XP or get one with Vista and the other drive with XP

    Someone can also point me in the direction of the place where to buy the right type of player with the correct connection... its SATA I think

    Thanks in advance for your help

    In my opinion, you can use the HARD drive with the speed of 7200 RPM. I put t really see no reason why this should not be possible!

    It is important that you buy a HARD drive with the interface supported and the size of the HARD drive.

    You are right; Equium A100 supports SATA HDD interface.
    You must not use SATA and IDE hard drives!

    According to some internet sites, the laptop came with 80 GB HARD drive.
    I presume that you should be able to upgrade the 120 GB HARD drive, but this is just a suggestion because Toshiba does not have any official information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

  • Equium A100-027: is it possible to update the graphics card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I am very happy with it, but the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I'm a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle more modern games.

    I am looking how to change, how much it cost etc. However I don't want to buy a graphics card just to realize that inside is locked. Since it's only a week I want to take a hammer to it right away ;-)

    Can someone tell me how it is difficult to upgrade the graphics card? It is locked, or easily accessible?

    Hello Eamonn

    Unfortunately, upgrading the graphics card is not possible. I'm don't know if you're familiar with cell phone technology, but you should know that graphics cards installed on laptop motherboards are not same as the GPU for desktop PC s s.

    The map is fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!
    You can upgrade the memory or HARD drive on laptop computers but not the graphics card!

    I also have a player m and I m a laptop owner but I don t use this device for games, but for a typical use like the internet, programming, members, etc.
    I have a second game machine and it s a desktop PC. It s supports a map of water cooling module and a really great graphics, but I'll change it to the a newer NVIDIA supports the directX10.
    It is a future and all new games will this DrectX10!

  • Equium A100-027: after installing XP no sound

    After buying an Equium A100-027 with pre-installed Vista Home, I had to remove this in order to recharge with XP Pro SP2 to join to the domain of my company.

    Everything is installed properly and audio drivers are also present and work according to the Device Manager but no sound is heard. Also, I can't install the SRS Tru Surround driver because of the error message saying not supported on this computer.

    Hello

    Where did you download the XP drivers?
    Did you use the right method?

    For me it s a clear error message-> the driver cannot be installed because the phone does not support. You must use a compatible.

    Equium A100 is very similar to the Satellite A100. Try the drivers in this section and check the different versions

  • No sound on Equium A100-027 using Vista

    Hello
    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find an answer.
    My Equium A100 - 027 (PSAAQ) claims that the audio device is properly installed and works OK, but I can't get any sound from the speakers.

    I tried the latest sound card drivers from this site (and live RealTek) but without success.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The laptop uses a Realtek ALC861 audio chip.
    You need to install the realtek High Definition Audio Codecs on the site!

    The old driver should be removed first. Remove the sound from the Device Manager, and then after reboot again to install the new driver High Definition Audio Codecs!

    By the way; the DD Realtek Audio Manager should be found in the control panel.
    Check if the volume control has been set to a higher level!

  • Upgrading RAM and HDD on Equium A100-027

    Hello

    I have an Equim A100-027 and I already upgraded the two 512 MB to 2 GB 2 memory chips which is the maximum I can get?

    I've also already installed a hard drive over a 350GB one, but I'm looking to install a high - what is the maximum size that I could install? I guess that there must be a limit, but I was hoping that 750 GB to 1 TB would be OK.

    I appreciate all the answers - thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that 2 GB RAM ist the value of memory as possible which is supported by Equium A100-027 Mr. I have this chipset limitation.

    Upgrading the HARD drive must be possible from the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size.
    That's why I think that 750Go should be possible

    Please share the news with us after finishing these updates.

  • Question about updating map of RAM and graphics on Equium A100-027

    Hello
    I have an Equium A100-027 with 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512MB modules)
    If I would like to raise the speed, which RAM modules would need? I also need a new graphic card, can I buy a graphics card or should it be some for my laptop?

    Hello

    in regard to your question upgrade:

    RAM-> you need 200 pin DDR2 RAM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

    Graphics-> update is not possible, because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard of your laptop, which means it s 'wired '.

  • Equium A100 - 027: running slow

    Any help appreciated - my equium a100-027 running incrdeibly slow, especially shortly after the start.

    This is for all the excellent Internet programs.

    Sometimes I get an error message saying card Flash not working do not.

    Please help - thanks!

    Hello

    Satellite A100-027 seems to be equipped with 1 GB of RAM (2 x512MB)
    If you are using Win Vista or Win 7 then it would be desirable to increase the RAM up to 2 GB.

    You can also disable some background process is not necessary.
    You can do it in msconfig-> Startup tab.

    > Sometimes I get an error message saying card Flash not working do not.
    Well, the cards Flash is a utility that controls the FN keys.
    Perhaps this tool needs to be reinstalled again.

    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download and reinstall the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

    Good luck

  • Equium A100-027 - Question about the installation of Win 7:32-bit or 64-bit

    Hello

    I have an Equium A100-027
    I have just ordered an upgrade to 2 GB RAM and want to do a new install of WINDOWS 7 on Vista.

    Should I go for the 32-bit version or 64 - not sure if I need one over the other based on the processor?

    Thanks in advance

    David

    Hello

    Windows 7 32 bit supports max 3.2 GB of RAM
    In case you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB of RAM, I recommend to choose Windows 7 64-bit to be able to use all 4 GB of RAM

    The processor is an Intel Pentium T2060 that supports 32-bit but physical address Extensions is based on 32 bits, which allows x 86 processors to access more than 4 GB of physical memory

    Hello
    I bought an equium A100-027 and, because of my work, I want to use a personal OS XP - Pro, I bought the retailer 2006 Microsoft.
    The problem is that XP installs successfully, but I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba Download Page.

    I sent a mail to support Toshiba in France and they redirect me to the download page of drivers even DO NOT contain any driver for my laptop... (it does not appear there).
    It is mandatory for me to use XP - Pro, because we use it for industrial automation, so I can't use Vista! seriously, I bought a PC that do not work on XP?

    Best regards

    Hello

    You re right. I also checked the site and don't find your notebook in the series.
    Hmm you have tested other drivers Equium A100 series but also check the Satellite A100 series pilots.
    The Equium A100 Satellite A100 and very similar specifications and possibly some drivers will also work on yours.

    Toshiba Canada also provides different drivers. Take a look at this page:
