Fix utility wipe original programs on Satellite L300D?

Sorry, this is a repost of a previous question, but this time I will keep it very short.
I have no answer, and maybe it's because my message was too long.

Whenever I have download anything, my L300D tells me that the file is corrupted. Unless I can find out why and fix, I'll have to run the built-in repair utility to recover the system to the factory settings. My concern is that the Program Files folder is on the same partition as the operating system, and the utility warns that everything on that partition will be erased.

I don't know if it's important. Perhaps restore to factory setting reinstall programs (I am referring to the original programs installed by Toshiba - I was not able to install whatever it is a lot). If you use the repair utility, can clarify you this for me please?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello

I mean you talk about recovery option HDD Toshiba or Toshiba Recovery disk

Well, the use of HARD drive recovery option will format the system partition only C and install the new OS.

The use of the recovery disc will format the whole HARD drive and will again create all the partitions and will fix the laptop back to factory settings.

Do you need information?

  • Satellite L300D-01N - BIOS version original need

    Hello

    had a bad bios flash when you try to apply PSLC8-PSLE8-180 - WIN.exe (Ver 1.80, 10/27/2009) updated the bios of my Satellite L300D-01N, model # PSLC8C-01N019

    now, the unit does not come on at all - I'm trying to restore it to work but it is impossible to find a copy of the bios file updated (from the active windows self-extracting program Toshiba update bios) during installation
    (I tried to extract it on another pc that the portable original is a brick now but still no luck)

    I was able to confirm that I can get the system to the laptop using the CRC, but I need a copy of the * original * BIOS that came with these units so I can reflash.
    does anyone have a copy of the original bios this device before you apply this update (ver. 1.8 2009-10-27)?

    Please note that I was not myself tried this update of the BIOS, so I don't have a copy of the original anywhere.

    Can you send me a copy please?

    Thnaks a lot

    Hi lostboy77,

    BIOS reflash is possible only to an authorized service. If the BIOS update has filed, you can do nothing. :(

    I know it's hard to hear, but you must understand that the update of the BIOS is always somewhat risky and if it wasn t flashed correctly, your laptop won't boot any more. So it of not so easy a Windows Update

    Anyway, here you can get a quick and professional help:

  • Satellite L300D - Webcam error messages

    I am running Vista 32 bit on a Satellite L300D.

    I have recurring problems with built in webcam Chicony. Basically, frequently, it stops working (I only use it with Skype), me gives error messages but more commonly "cannot start video. Try closing other programs that may use your webcam... ». A reboot of my laptop it fixes usually but only temporarily.
    I downloaded the drivers and the software Camera Utility on the Toshiba site, but it has not solved the problem.

    Anyone out there that can suggest a solution, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    What the webcam driver you have installed, and you removed the old one? You must remove the old driver of the webcam first before installing a newer version. Before installing a newer driver also make sure that all the old driver registry keys are deleted. Therefore, you can use a registry cleaner like CCleaner.

    Compare the driver webcam with a newer version of other laptops. Like Akuma written you can download it from a laptop model more recent and this driver should also work on your model correctly.

    Hello

    I'm going out of my mind: o.

    My Satellite L300D-11 has been delivered with a Windows Vista Home Premium, but I recently did a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Since then, I have had problems with 'Blue error screen' come randomly. Bought and installed a registry clean program, but that did not fix the problem. Anyone else with this problem - and a possible solution.

    And now, my big problem. My CD and DVD drive crazy me; (o) it's a rug * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA and my internet research I found that many carpet * an owners have had the same or similar problems. My drive won't regonize or CD play/play. DVD with videos or programs, I can play. CD burning is not possible and DVD burning is sometimes work and other times not.

    I have read on different patches is displayed - also here on the Toshiba - not of the suggested solutions forum works for me - the new solutions I could try.

    Seriously think about buying a USB external DVD drive - but can be it someone please tell me why Toshiba does not get their B fingers * and find a solution as it sews Sony did it.

    Hello

    I understand that it was ok with your laptop before installing Windows 7. It is so related to hardware problem software. Can you tell if it was original iso of windows 7 or the Assembly. Have you installed all the drivers for the Toshiba driver page and the maintenance of the right installation order? What burning software do use?

    Have you done this procedure mentioned in this forum:

    Go to Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop and wait for the CD/DVD drive would appear once again

    As far as I know on the second partition of HARD drive folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start the installation of (F8 at startup) HARD disk recovery partition recovery image D will be installed on the C partition. In this case the D partition is not deleted. C just partition will be formatted before installation of recovery image begins.
    Just use F8 option and go fix my computer. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the software factory default recovery option.
    > 2 If the disc is defective, how do I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?
    After reading this question, I see you didn't read the document s user manuals. You need to create a recovery media (DVD recovery) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the HARD drive or you want to install original recovery image on the new HARD drive.
    3 > unrelated meanings, can I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64 bit version?
    Of course you can do it. Please visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all the drivers, tools and utilities are available here. Of course before doing this, create recovery DVDs.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Re: Satellite L300D and Win7 - cannot find the WLAN driver

    I have the Satellite L300D (PSLC8C-06T01R) I just got this in the month; I decide to put Windows 7 on thinking there would be all the necessary drivers. Well I was wrong; Once I installed 7 we find all drives but the wireless card. I don't then told me the Vista disks would work on Windows 7 so I tried and no luck, I then put Vista on and everything was fine, then when I went to look for the driver for the wireless card in Vista, it doesn t do anything the card is always 'does not work correctly.

    Vista Atheros wireless drivers or something else on the site Web of Toshiba don t do anything.

    If anyone has the same problem made me know, or if anyone knows how to fix this or even if it is possible to find the drivers for windows 7 that would be great cuz that s my goal (Windows 7)

    Please as soon as possible I need this laptop at the University.

    For me, it makes sense to collect all relevant information before you do something again. Obviously you didn't check before installing Win7 Toshiba support page. Until that Win7 is not released Toshiba will offer no tricks of Win7.

    As I see you have Canadian cell phone model and I don't know what WLAN card is inside, but in your a story thing confused me. You have installed Vista again. I assume you have done this with original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image is designed for certain model of laptop and contains all the necessary drivers for all hardware components. I don't understand what the problem with the wireless network card.
    I have to ask you if you have installed Vista with the Toshiba recovery image?

  • How to identify / resize partitions on Satellite L300D-06N

    People,

    My son has a Satellite L300D-06N and I'm trying to optimize its HD.

    In the windows storage management window, it seems that there are 4 partitions on its HD 250 GB (of which two are hidden). There is a C: (216 GB) who seems to be holding. D: (7.7 GB), which seems to be empty. There is also a partition of 1.46 GB non-lettre (hidden?) called "EISA Configuration" and another (?) hidden partition 7,57 GB.

    I guess one of them is the so-called recovery partition which holds an original image of the system drive (c :) only?). But what would the other?

    And who is that?

    I can also resize partitions C: and D:? I would like to keep the C: folder for the operating system and any program installs and uses the D: drive as its repository of data. But the C: drive currently has 150 GB free space, I want to take about 100 GB and reallocate to D.

    If I resize C: and D: this effect the recoverability of restore the C: drive if I ever? And can they just be resized through the management of storage Windows Vista (I'm used to XP and have used Partition Magic on my other XP system, but I understand that it does not work on Vista).

    Thanks in advance.

    ... Bill

    Hello

    As far as I know, there should be only one hidden partition containing Vista backup files. This partition is created automatically by Vista and it s need for some processes of repair if something would be wrong with the operating system.

    The other partition must contain the Windows Vista, drivers and other applications.
    The next partition must communicate with Toshiba HARD drive recovery files.
    This HARD drive recovery could be in the order of the group without the use of recovery disks!

    I have used the magic of partitions in Win XP too, but it didn t work in Vista OS.
    But I could use the free tool called Gparted. It s a software opens and you can use it for free.

  • Satellite L300D - how to install Win 7 drivers?

    Hi, as you can see I am new to all this.

    I have a laptop Satellite L300D Vista Home Premium SP2.
    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.

    I am told that I have to do a clean update which will wipe my hard drive first.
    After that I installed Windows 7, how do I get all my drivers back please?

    I posted here because I din't know where to start.

    Thank you.

    Hi newtoallthis,

    Before starting with the installation of Windows 7, download all the drivers from the official Web of Toshiba site and check if all of the available drivers. I don t know what laptop you have exactly and if you install Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit, but you can check yourself:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    If you have found all the drivers, you can start with the installation of Windows 7. After that, install all the drivers. Generally, the order of installation is not so important but a friend installed Winodws 7 on L300 (little other model) and used this installation order:

    -Windows 7
    -Chipset driver
    -Display driver
    -Sound driver
    Driver LAN-
    -WLAN driver
    -Modem driver
    -Value Added Package
    -Flash Cards Support utility

    According to the model, the order and the amount of drivers is a little different. ;)

    Hi elrossco22,

    What Satellite L300D, you have exactly and are - this a European model?
    If yes try to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and choose fix my computer. Then, you can start the recovery of HARD drive feature.

    If this isn't the case, you need a new Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. You can order such a drive here but it s for European models only:

  • Satellite L300D - necessary recovery image

    Hello

    I'm trying to restore my laptop to factory settings. It's a Toshiba Satellite L300D and recently it has been infected by the virus of security 2011 windows vista.
    It still works in SafeMode with networking, and safe mode but I n t want to run the risk of more. I tried years ago to make a recovery DVD, but it never worked.

    Now, I tried to retrieve from the hard drive, but he said, he cannot locate HDD 1 and recommended to try to remove the partition numbers which is something that I put t really understand.
    Anyway that I can't get back to factory settings.

    Is this what can I do to get my hands on a recovery image or address this issue. Any help welcome. Thank you

    Recovery image is designed for the specific cell phone model.
    Recovery image contains the operating system, all the drivers needed for some hardware platform and all the other extra stuff like tools and utilities.
    You can try to install this image of recovery of your brother, but I can't say for sure it will work 100%. It can happen that OS load and after a few seconds the blue screen.

    Look, if you like your laptop and you want to use some time, pay the 30 euro for the original recovery disc and problem is solved.
    Otherwise, I must say that this old L300D works well with Windows 7 then maybe it would be a good solution for install you Win7 and have much better OS than Vista old. It is, of course, the most expensive option.

    At the end is only your decision what to do.

  • Satellite L300D: changing in Vista keyboard language settings

    Hello!

    I bought a cell phone in Spain (Satellite L300D series) and I added to the 'language bar' option 'Portuguese' (my language).
    Usually I write texts in both languages - this is why I have not removed the "Spanish" option in the "language bar".
    However, the Windows Vista changing by "chance", the language of my keyboard. Let me explain:

    I opened the "language bar". Then, I opened the "Configuration" > "High Key Configuration.
    There is the option "access keys for input languages". It is possible to select the 'ALT', 'CAPS LOCK' and 'SHIFT' keys to change the keyboard language. But it is also possible to only select "key" - so, theoretically, any key should you press: the language of the keyboard will not change.

    That's what I did - but Windows Vista is not "obey" me...
    What should I do to stop this type of change?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    OK, you use two for keyboard input languages, but you should know that when you set once there are no fix. If you use several applications at the same time for each running application, you must set the input language.

    I always use a single switch to choose between languages with left Alt + shift. The other two parameters are set to NONE. So when I use some application I can always check what language is set and change it quickly using left Alt + Shift key combination.

    That's all. Test it on your laptop.

  • Satellite L300D-12U - two problems after installing Ubuntu Linux

    Hello

    I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my brand-new u. Satellite L300D-12
    So far, everything works fine, but there are two things bother me.

    1. I have problem with suspends to RAM. It does not work. If I use the option to boot, the screen goes black but the laptop is still running (you can hear it).
    In addition, nothing happens when I press the power button to exit the sleep option.
    I completely close the laptop and restart to be back in Ubuntu.
    Maybe someone has some ideas how I can fix the problem?

    My/etc/default/acpi-support have these entries:

    # Comment the following line to disable the ACPI suspend to RAM
    ACPI_SLEEP = true

    # Comment the following line to disable the suspension on disc
    ACPI_HIBERNATE = true

    # Change the following of 'sleep' to use ACPI S1 sleep, rather than S3.
    # This will save less energy, but can run on machines more
    # ACPI_SLEEP_MODE = mem
    ACPI_SLEEP_MODE = standby

    2 battery life
    My current maximum battery life is 01:10 hours. On windows, it's 2 hours >. Maybe someone has some ideas of configuration to increase the time of battery under Ubuntu?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
