• Equium L40 problems using the recovery disk

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can help me?

  I want to restore my computer but when I put the recovery disk in I select the cd/dvd rom drive by pressing f12 at startup.
  I also maintained pressed C when I lit. I select the disc I want to start the computer, it goes to a black screen, then it loads just windows up as usual.

  I phoned with Toshiba for help and all they could tell me was that as another drive worked on my computer, it isn't a problem with the disk drive, but a problem with the disc and it will cost me 30 quid for a new!

  Is anyone able to give me any help

  Thank you

  Hello

  If I understand your message, you are not able to recover the laptop using the Toshiba disc. Is this good?

  Well, in your case I recommend to start from another original Windows XP CD bootable disc or Vista DVD or a Linux drive to test if the CD/DVD drive can handle this drive.

  In this case, you can test if your CD/DVD drive is faulty or if the problem is related to the Toshiba DVD recovery.

  Hey,.

  I'm stuck with that laptop right now because when I did a scan for virus about 4 weeks ago we found 179 virus and endless malware, and since this analysis I can start is no longer a normal Windows Vista 32-bit area unless it is Safe Mode.

  When my mother bought the laptop it is a display model and that they did not provide a recovery disc witht the laptop. I am able to request one or if I am not not to get a disk how am I able to rectify the Please this problem? Also when you try to open a session in normal Windows, it accepts the password then sits there with happiness on the 'Welcome' screen and does not move further.

  Help, please

  Kind regards
  Obviangel

  Your Equium L40 comes with HARD drive recovery option.
  Recovery image is recorded on the second partition, and you should have HDDRecovery folder saved on the second partition.

  Is this folder?

• Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

  Hello

  I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
  The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

  I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

  I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

  I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

  Hello

  According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
  I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

  One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

  If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
  I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

• Installing OS on Equium L40

  I just got a laptop Equium L40, the former owner of a partioned drive, then unallacated the partion and extended the c drive, so there are programs that reside on the hard drive, but cannot be started, the computer will run most hiddious vista OS. I spoke with Tosh who informs me that there is a tool to burn restore discs included in the tosh software, but can't find how to run this software, the small partition tosh nicked from my hard drive is intact, I would be recognizing any entry of the forum

  have also tried to reinstall vista, xp and windows 7 with the same result to the hard drive not being not not able to be contacted also tried to integrate the sata also drivers with the same result, another that the machine seems to work very well in the case of this machine it not Mater what OS is on it I prefer xp or win 7 as like many others find it very bloated vista and who need a rennie

  After reading your ad I n t understand one thing: this portable plant now or not?
  If Yes, you can try to create the recovery disk using preinstalled creator Toshiba Recovery tool, but if you use OS installed by you or a previous owner, including the different structures of HARD drive partitions, I fear that you will not be able to access saved m HARD drive recovery image.

  > also tried to reinstall vista, xp and windows 7 with the same result of the disk hard cannot be contacted
  I put t understand it. What do you mean with contacted?
  Please enter the F2 BIOS settings at startup and set it to default settings. After this try to start the bootable Win7 disc and check if HARD drive is recognized correctly.
  By the way: If you don t have to factory settings now I think the only way to get own pre-installed OS is the use of the Microsoft installation disc.

• Equium L40-10 X - audio drivers do not work on Windows XP

  I recently reinstalled XP on my equium L40-10 x. Unfortunately, the audio drivers from the Toshiba support site does not work for me - are there other drivers that are known to work?
  I didn't load the available disks and need something on the net - link?

  Thank you.

  Hi cecilrosa,

  I n t have Equium L40 but I'm pretty sure that the audio drivers are working properly. The point is that you need to first install Service Pack 3 before you can install the audio driver.

  So to remove the current sound driver and install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. After that, you can try reinstalling the audio driver.

  Check this box!

• Equium L40 - 17 M - how to reset the user password

  This is probably a really basic question, so I hope you can help!

  I forgot my password for my Equium L40 - 17 M.
  When I click on "reset password" under my user icon it says: "this feature requires removable media such as a floppy disk or USB flash drive" - that means? What should I do?

  Please keep you language simple I'm not technical!
  Thank you

  Hello

  I assume you are using the Vista operating system.
  In order to reset the password, you will need a password reset disk

  Here's a nice description of how to create a password reset disk:
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/101993-password-reset-disk.html

  and here you can find an instruction how to use this disk to reset the password:
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/102005-reset-user-account-password.html
  But note; the password reset disk can be created if you would be able to connect to Windows Vista.

  But if you would not be able to create the password reset disk, then you can try using the three method which is also described in the statement.

  Good luck

• Equium L40 HDD sata drivers for Windows 7

  Equium L40 17 M (PLS49E) running XP... and I want to install Windows 7 and I need the disk drivers sata HARD turn...
  But I can not find these anywere... I tried the site driver Toshiba and other pilot sites.

  I had the same problem when I wanted to move from Vista to XP
  And found out that I just needed to add the driver for Sata HARD drive in the ISO I was
  I after trying Vista inside drivers

  Then someone knows that are Windows 7 disc sata (Storage Manager) HARD drivers
  or if I can use the Vista ones

  Thank you
  Joepeash

  Hello

  Normally, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  I checked the page, and it seems that for Windows 7 not all drivers available. So, as you've already written that you can try the Vista driver because most of them are also work on Windows 7.
  An alternative, you can consult the Intel page. Maybe you can find a newer driver that was official published for Windows 7.

  If you n t know how to use this driver exactly, use the forum search. You will find hundreds of threads. ;)

• Re: Equium L40 - 14 l - System recovery option missing

  Hi all

  I have an Equium l40 14l that I finally decided needs to be restored "out of the box" status.

  I can boot to the system recovery options page, but the widely mentioned drive HARD recovery option has been replaced by the option system restore of full Windows OS.
  When I choose it is telling me that is preinstalled files are damaged you can use the recovery dvd - rom product. All I can do is click OK and return to the previous screen.

  I ran a few software partitioning and the hidden partition appears. I don't have a disc of recovery with the machine as she had the hidden restore partition.

  I don't have a backup when I first booted the machine. I think now that it was a good idea, but as I thought I had the hidden partition to rely on I don't bother.

  Ideas if there is a way I can get the system recovery to display HARD drive recovery option?

  Thank you Tom

  Cool. Glad to hear this. Now you can remove all the stuff, you don't need and optimize the preinstalled recovery image.

  Good luck.

  Can someone help

  Hello

  Sorry do you need exactly? Do you need disc recovery Toshiba or d you must have Microsoft Vista disk?

  The serial key you found at the bottom of the unit belongs to the preinstalled Windows operating system and will NOT work by using different Windows disks.

  You have two options;
  Either you buy the here Toshiba Recovery disk:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Or you buy the original disc of Microsoft Vista and will use the drivers provided by page European driver Toshiba

  There is no other solution.

• Equium L40 - error during recovery

  I need to recover my Toshba Equium L40 running Vista.

  So I put in the disk that come with the laptop when I got it, he began to do what he needed to do, I have chosen the language and press next and then Next again, then a BACK screen appears and begins to do things, this only getts so far and then stops and appears with errors and then after a while it's just closes the window BACK. I try to start the computer laptop nornmally but now I can't do same.

  What can I do to fix this?

  I am confused with this choice of language. Language is not editable and you must leave just already marked language.
  Can you continue with the installation of recovery if nothing is changed?
  Do you use a recovery media for the first time?

• Equium L40-156 initialize problem

  I have an Equium L40-156. When I press the power button the power led lights up, but there seems to be no hard disk activity. I manually turn off by pressing the power button for several seconds, leave it for a few seconds and then press the power again button once it starts normally.

  Any ideas please?

  Hi mate,
  Have you recently updated your BIOS, installed a few more RAM / another HARD drive or software? Perhaps some update driver?

  Since when the error pops up? And you have always guaranteed on this subject?
  So, if so, then bring your machine to an authorized partner and let check your machine. Would be the best...

• Equium L40 - Windows won't start, message on screen

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M.
  Recently when update my antivirus, my computer tried to restart but now does not load correctly.
  Now whenever I try to turn on the computer, after the initial configuration screen Toshiba I'm greeted by the following message is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

  Playing a disc error has occurred
  Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.

  However, this message seems right once again!
  Suggestions please!

  It could be a problem of file system corruption, in which case you can connect the HARD drive to another PC and run CHKDSK on the drive.

  If no help, then check the bad sectors HARD disk using the Test advanced in Hitachi DFT (Google is your friend)

  Or you can try to run your recovery discs recovery. This reformatted HARD drive, so you will need your first of all if the data backup sound still there (you can use a USB 2.5 "HDD adapter).

  If you really need your data back, there are data recovery programs, you can download to search the HARD disk for lost files.

• CD/DVD player open on its own - Equium L40

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium L40-10 X recently purchased from Pc World. It has been working fine until recently my reader of cd/dvd broke open on its own. I closed it and then about 10 minutes later he did it again. This happens from time to time. After some research I found that it could be a problem of spyware. Scanned and deleted all traces etc. Problem seemed to have disappeared, but alas, the disc once more burst open.

  Recently the drive does not read disks as well. It seems to work when it wants at any time from 10 seconds up to an hour at a time. Things became an own mind... and when it doesn't, the button to open the player doesnâ? t seem to work. I have to use a paper clip to open the player.

  I have a laptop haunted or there is something wrong.

  Did someone has had an experience of something like it before or give me advice on what to do?

  Thank you, Jon.

  Hi mate

  I didn't noticed anything like this before, but I assume that it s a mechanical problem.
  Don t think that 3rd party software (program, spyware, virus, etc.) could cause this problem.
  In addition, you said that the drive does not read disks as well.

  In this case, I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country and ask for the disc and if necessary audit for a replacement disk WEIRD.

  If the warranty is valid replacement should be done for free.

  Best regards
