• Satellite A300 - how to recover the operating system without a recovery disk?

  First of all, sorry for my very bad English.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300, PC 9 months ago. I had problems with a virus and result is that despite clean-up and disinfection, the computer is still infected and I refused access to the hard drives and regedit.

  I thought restoring the operating system factory preinstaled (hopefully, this is the solution and not the formatting) and Barrie told me to check out http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  I did it, but the PC it's imposible because there is no files. I don't have a rescue CD (if newbee).

  What can I do?

  Hello

  Usually the A300 (European series) has been equipped with HARD drive recovery option which would be you allows to recover the laptop using the files on the HARD drive. But if this is not possible while something went wrong with the maybe HDD it s due to the infection by the virus

  In any case if you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive you need the recovery disc.
  You can order it as suggested by resident on the other hand, you can use the MS Windows Vista disk and can download driver Toshiba page.

• Hard drive dead - reinstall operating system without CD?

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion DV6-6024TX, who has recently had the hard disk matrix. The laptop is out of warranty.

  I purhcased a new hard drive and installed shortly, but I have no copy of the sytem (windows 7 32-bit) OS to install on the new drive. As the old drive died and won't start Windows I can't extract it from there.

  Is there a way I can legally download the OS and use it to boot Windows and use my existing key or I have to buy some CD (heard that a few people on this site but can't find the link).

  Would appreciate help.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, you can use your existing product key to reinstall Windows 7 as described below.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• How to enable the Windows 2008 R2 guest operating systems on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition host

  Sorry, I realize it is there much written and blogged about activation and license but I still cannot grasp exactly what to do, please can you help me.

  I have a host running windows 2008 R2, datacenter edition.  The 2008 datacenter edition license allows any number of windows OS to run on this host (will run for most 2008R3 standard edition) so I guess (I hope correctly) that I don't need to buy more licenses.

  So my question is, when these comments of the virtual machines are created, how can I activate them?  What product key should be used?   I have a product key for data center edition, but it does not work "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows server 2008 R2.

  Thank you if you can let me know if there is a way (or ways) for the operating systems Windows Server activated running on datacenter edition.

  Best regards

• How to access the data of a guest operating system store

  Hello

  I'm new to vmware. I started building a Virtual Appliance using Studio of VM. It requires an ISO of the OS image to be accessible from the virtual appliance VM Studio.

  To get this downloaded ISO, I used vSphere Client and traveled the "data store" and downloaded the ISO in a directory under the "VM Studio" data store. Now, how is this directory accessible from the console of Ubuntu? What is the path of the URL of this ISO file?

  Thank you.

  You must add a virtual CD-ROM at the prompt and point to the .iso file.

• How can you have Windows XP and Vista operating system on the same computer?

  I am new to the community.

  I just ordered a XPS420.  The guy who took my order said he had heard of having two operating systems (XP and Vista) on a single computer and be able to choose the one that you want to use the start.  Someone at - he heard of this being done or done. I have a legal version of Windows XP home edition disk.

  I ask this because the computer that my children no longer have work and they have a lot of older games for XP, they still love to play. My only alternative is to use XP only if I can reformat the system.

  Thank you

• OSX 10.9.1 fusion Version 6.0.0 (1296151) cannot connect to the Internet, OSX and guest operating system works very well...

  So I can't verify/update merger it self or get the vmware tools install for my guests

  Ask yourself why until both my OSX as well as my OS (CentOS) guest host of vmware can connect to the internet, it's just the Fusion.App it self and I even disabled my Little Snitch even there is no rule against Fusion.App

  Nothing shows up in the logs/Console.App OSX

  All advice appreciated!

  TIA

  Hello

  I understand the frustration. But maybe you can download the version of VMware Fusion which has the VMware Tools (and unfortunately also mcafee) in the download of the installer?

  The link is here: download VMware Fusion 6

  As for your download problem, I don't know if it's still attributable to you or just today?

  It is also possible that the problem is a CDN issue, it might be a node of akamai having problems and are not able to offer your download.

  Otherwise your troubleshooting with power off of little snitch sound fine.

  FWIW, my little snitch rules are:

  VMware Fusion.app out to port 443 on ueip.vmware.com and softwareupdate.vmware.com

  hope this helps,

• Satellite Pro 480cdt: how to replace the power supply and memory?

  I broke the tip of the power where it goes to the back of the computer. The two pins came away from the cable. What is the size of the plug round I am looking for as a replacement? Assume that there is a standard fitting of Toshiba.

  The right size to upgrade as the memory is 128 MB. He got 64 MB it's 2 x 32 MB. I guess we're soldered in, but I can remove the other 32 MB and put the 128.

  Are these modules memory square-shaped?
  Finally, a link to the service manual would be very helpful.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's really an old unit and it is not easy to find a lot of information. I found the info that this device can use 160MO max. Module of RAM compatible RAM are:
  16 MB PA2039U
  PA2040U 32 MB
  48 MB PA2041U
  128 MB PA2042U
  I don t really know where is placed expansion slot memory but check the underside first. Otherwise, that it may also be placed under the keyboard.

  Replacement of plug power is a bit complicated, and in this case I can't help you at all.

  In any case good luck with your oldie!
