How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

Hello

I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

Hello!

The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

  • Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

    Hi all

    I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
    I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

    The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
    I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

    Hi amigo

    I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

    Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

    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.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    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.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • How can I re - validate my Windows XP without a modem work?

    A few months ago my Windows XP desktop computer could no longer connect to the Internet. After several personal failures to repair, I decided to reinstall Windows XP to see if that would help. The resettlement process went very well until what at the end, I received the message that I couldn't run Windows XP until it has been validated. But since my original problem was that I couldn't go on the Internet, how do I validate my newly re-installed Windows XP?

    And by the way, I'm typing this on the Windows Vista computer of my wife who CAN still connect to the Internet. Please help me.

    When he says you have to active, choose Activate by phone now.  Then select your region.  It will give you a phone number to call and a number to tell the people here.  They will give you a number of Pat on the back.  This will activate your system.

  • How can I get my printer wireless reconnected without having to restart my computer?

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium printer installed as a wireless device. Often, when I closed my laptop via the mode 'sleep', I apparently lose the connection to the printer. When I try to print a document, it does not print and the printer status shows "offline".

    What could happen:

    The printer is for wireless operation. During installation, an address on the network is requested by the DHCP service on the router. This address is entered in the connection information for the printer.

    After a certain period, the computer is suspended. Will switch "standby". Close the wireless connection. Later, the computer wakes. An address is requested and issued. However, it is not the same address as that was iddued and registered in the connection information. If and when printing is started, the printing device is in standby mode because it now cannot connect through the old or new address.

    This can be corrected temporarily be remove and reinstall the printer. However, it will fail the next time that the computer is paused.

    Giving the printer address fixed, solved the problem because no address must be requested or issued by the router. There will always be the same.

    ===============

    Maybe HP has released a fix for this problem. Check on their website for a new driver package. If offered a choice, download the full package. Install it, and then try again.

    If they do not, or you get no joy, please check the print material included with the printer and that available for it on the web site. There should be instruction detailing how to set up for wireless communication. In addition, it is usually a page of instructions available on the printer itself that behaves like a web page. Find the name of the printer in network Prfnters. Mouse click and look for the network settings. For mine, it appears as a tab.

    Take a look. Assess the situation. Let us know. Someone will help more.

  • How can I install CS6 Production Premium upgrade without having to re - install CS5.5?

    I need to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium on my OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks). CS6 bought as an upgrade for my CS5.5. I can't reinstall CS5.5 because it does not appear to support the new OSX (the installer won't work). CS6 appears to be able to install, but when I enter the serial number, it says that I need CS5.5 already installed.

    I'm working on a tight schedule and hoping that someone tell me what I need to do... Thank you!

    When you go to activate CS6, it should indicate that your serial number is valid but cannot find a product calling it on the machine (it would be CS5.5).  There is a selection list where you select the previous version (CS5.5) as well as an entry where you enter the serial number for this older version.
