  Hi all

  I have the satellite A300 (PSAGOS - 03401C), I did a fresh install of Vista 64-bit, but unable to find the drivers for the device. Research on Toshiba driver support has not been successful.

  Any help appreciated. Thank you

  How to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  Hello

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of replacement of Vista recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on the box of the computer determines what Edition is installed.

  Recovery DVD are other computer manufacturers should not be used for this purpose.

• Satellite A500D - FN key does not - need tool for Vista 64-bit

  Hi experts,

  I would like to ask for help on the problem of my laptop.
  The FN key is not working now. I tried to restart the Flash cards, but nothing happens.
  I read on a few discussions that I must download the VAP and drivers section flashing utility.

  That is, that there is no option for vista 64 on the list. I have the European backup installation discs (CD 7 or 9?) but I do not intend to reinstall new OS.
  I can not activate the button for the antenna, because it requires the combination FN + F8.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

Microsoft and several of its Vista customers realized that Vista has a lot of problems, but people who have need of the service. Being able to download and install the SP2 can make Vista more stable, but I get the same message mentioned above, and so I am sure are a lot of other people who are trying to get Service Pack 2 integrated into Vista.

• My computer didn't work since I installed SP2 for Vista

  After installing service pack 2 for Vista my computer restarted itself and everything that appears is the screen with the following message Windows Boot Manager:

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
  2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
  3. click on "Repair your computer."

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  File: \Windows\system32\drivers\pci.sys
  Status: 0xc0000098
  Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  No matter what I do, the computer always comes back to the screen. I tried to insert my installation disc, but the computer does not recognize it. (I have no Vista disks, I have the installation disc that came with my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.

  Suggestions?

  1 make the repair disk Bootable from the info below and do a startup repair.

  2 Dell reinstall info.

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If the restore does not work, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista Startup Repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
