How downgrade Tecra S10 to Vista?

My friend asked me to fix his laptop. There Tecra S10-11 has. He had installed Vista, but it was installed Win7.
Now, he wants to come back that Vista, but it does not create the recovery disk. I checked the laptop and there 1.46 GB recovery partition.

It seems too small. How can I reinstall Vista and remove the installation of Windows 7?

I don't know what your friend did exactly and how he had installed Win7, but you can try to start the operating system from the HARD disk installation > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm but I don't think it will work.
So to get Vista back you have two options:
-To order the Toshiba Recovery disk under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx and have the factory settings or
-To install Vista using the Microsoft installation disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page > http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

The second option is not so complicated and with our help, you can do this. ;)

  • Tecra S10-128-Vista 32 - eSata does not work?

    Hello everyone,

    I have 2 external hard drives USB\eSATA, an AKASA 3.5 and a VANTEC 2.5, they work fine in USB mode, but in eSATA, I get no response from the TECRA S10-128.
    The wealthy drive 3.5 does not need external power, the 2.5 power, when I connect the cable, is not a led flash.

    The OS is 32-bit previously connected original Vista.

    All ideas, King regards,

    Hello

    > They work fine in USB mode, but in eSATA, I get no response from the TECRA S10-128
    I was a little confused m
    As far as I know that the laptop supports the eSATA/USB combo port it s on the left and it conforms to the USB 2.0 standard.

    A (HDD) connected eSATA device cannot be recognized unless it s connected to the eSATA port, while the phone is in standby or standby.
    In this case, disconnect the eSATA device and reconnect it while the Tecra is turned on.
    Usually, it takes about 10 seconds until the eSATA device would be recognized by the laptop. Don t try to disconnect and reconnect the drive before this period has elapsed.

    In your case, I would check the BIOS settings.
    The second page of the BIOS provides eSATA settings. Check it out.

    I also recommend the installation of the OS switching device Configuration.
    This can be done as well in the BIOS

  • Tecra S10-106 - 3 G driver for Vista Ultimate 64-bit

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Tecra S10-106. Due to the fact that Vista Ultimate 64 bit is much faster than Vista Business 32-bit, I would use Vista ultimate 64-bit operating system, but I can't find the 3G for Vista 64-bit driver. All the drivers can be downloaded from the USA in English and can be used in German, only the 3G driver is missing. Can someone send me a download link or tell me where I can find a driver for Vista-bit 66?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can download the drivers here:

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/3gdrv-20090303131409.zip

  • Tecra S10 - 64 bit of Vista and Win7 64 bit driver question

    Hello

    I own a Tecra S10 and using Vista 64-bit operating system.
    Unfortunately Toshiba isn't supporting this version of the OS, because pilots proposed must be taken on different products that use the same hardware.

    Is anyone know wether Toshiba will start sharing the drivers for Vista 64 bit soon and whats on Win7?

    I think that Vista 64-bit drivers will run under Win7, but * when they officially released drivers for 64 bit Vista or Win7?

    Any info would be interesting.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    Normally it comes out drivers * after the release of the operating system. This means you have to wait a few months more I think
    But you think contacting Toshiba? Guys, you should know better than us users here. If you write an email or call, it takes only a few minutes!

    In addition, you should try the Vista 64 bit drivers. Most of them also works under Windows 7.
    And it s worth a try! ;)

    Good bye

  • Tecra S10-142 - how to fix touch Assist from Toshiba?

    I have a Tecra S10-142, with Windows XP.

    The * Toshiba assist button * does not work because this utility is not loaded at startup.
    What can I do to fix it? Where can I find the drivers to install this utility?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I agree with the user above. You must install or reinstall Toshiba Assist, which can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

    The installation should be performed in a few clicks only, and maybe you have to restart the laptop. After that, it should work.
    Can you confirm this?

  • Tecra S10: undefined screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800

    Hi all,

    I have a strange problem with the resolution of my Tecra S10.

    My system:

    * Windows Vista, later lowered to Windows XP SP3 with the last update
    * Latest Toshiba nvidia drivers

    My default resolution is 1680 x 1050 initially and the display is sharp and perfect proportional to the screen (15.4 ", 16Million color), even if the icons are quite small.

    I changed my resolution of 1280 x 800 using the steps described in the user manual. But the screen is fuzzy and ill-defined.
    According to the manual of Toshiba (Tecra S10 Satellite Pro S300) my NVidia video card supports the resolution of 1280 x 800 WXGA mode.

    How can I put mode WXGA?

    I appreciate all suggestions that solves the problem.

    Best regards
    Biagio

    Hello

    To be honest you write on this is certainly not a problem but something usual for views. The display will be sharp and perfect when you set the view to the native resolution only.
    If you choose some other low or high resolution the illustrious office will be either too big (does not fit in the display) or will be blurred.

    The same situation is on my Tecra M1. Test it on all laptops, and the situation will be the same. I'm now working on Satellite P200 with 17 inch screen. For this display's native resolution is 1440 x 900.
    When I reduce the resolution the office is always fuzzy and ill-defined.

    Thank you. (Excuse me for my English)

    For disk drive optical feature you n t need to install an additional driver.
    You can use your optical disc drive, the usual use of DVDs and CDs?

    Can you maybe send a screenshot of this message?

    As far as I know when you start the upgrade (upgrade disc put in ODD) you should see THE menu.

  • Can Tecra S10 - I order a recovery to another disk?

    Someone knows how to change the language of Windows 7 on a Tecra S10?
    Can I just order a recovery disc Englsih from here:
    [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

    If so, what is the price of these discs?

    The PC has a license for the preinstalled Windows 7 Pro 32 bit German, and I need it in English.

    Hello

    I doubt that this will be possible.

    You can order the recovery disk only with the same Windows operating system which was preinstalled on your laptop.

    If you need a different language of Windows or another version of windows, then you will need to purchase an original MS Windows disc.

    This means that you will get the new clean operating system, drivers may be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

  • Tecra S10 - unrecognized Usb device

    Whenever I plug the mouse usb Tecra S10 - 11A I get the message "unrecognized (or due to a malfunction) Usb device". Then, after several times of rehearsals to plug / plug everything is OK. But after each reboot, I must repeat plug/plug in mouse for several times.

    Now, I'm on Vista, but it is even on Windows 7 or XP.

    Is it possible to solve the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hi gordan84,

    Have you installed a 3rd party software/driver for the external mouse? If Yes, you should remove it.

    This happens with other USB devices like printer too?

    Maybe a BIOS update could be useful, you can download it on the Toshiba site.

  • Tecra S10 - e-SATA with WD MyBook problem

    and Device Manager hangs up refreshing devices. Only restart after sometimes he can be attached, but only those by boot allows. All other devices works fine. Before win 7

    I tried to update the drivers for the chipset for win 7 - but it failed with the message that this computer does not meet the minimum requirements.
    The BIOS is 2.0. Trying to upgrade the BIOS to 3.0, he replied that Intel TXT must be disabled, but it is set in the BIOS, option cannot be selected.

    No idea how to fix e-sata?

    Hi Damir

    As I see that you do have a general problem with e-SATA, but just when you want to use this device to some so I think that the solution is not so easy.
    This device is not known to me, but I suppose you guessed it with USB cable. You can use it with any other standard USB port?
