• Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

  Hello

  Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
  "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
  Press F2 to assume. »

  I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

  Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

  I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

  Help, please

  Pete

  Hello

  This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
  This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
  It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
  It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

  I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
  I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

  Good luck

• How to load the SATA drivers during the installation of XP - Satellite L40-18 X?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite L40-18 X with Vista Home OS. Now, I want to install Windows XP, I know that I have to reinstall the SATA drivers, but I can't find USB-drive floppy-disk drive.

  I was wondering can I install these drivers of some other player, like a flash drive or external CD ROM

  Thanks in advance

  Hello!

  There are two options to load the SATA drivers.

  As you know to load from a floppy drive, but if you n t have one, this isn't a problem.

  Create your own Windows disk with nLite. nLite is a tool of suppression of configuration and Windows components before installation of your choice, but you can also integrate drivers, service packs, the settings and to this day.
  It s a very nice tool and its freeware.
  Here you can download and read how to create a disk:

  Hi all

  Someone knows how to identify my model number? On the bottom it says it is PSMD4L-O1E00C model and serial number is 48188716W but when I go to http://gedb.toshiba.com who must tell me the model number for use on the Web site for drivers etc it says - Combo series and model valid, couldn't find it in our database.

  However, why you n t download the drivers on the site of Toshiba Asia? Here, I founded your model code, PSMD4L:

• How to upgrade video memory on Satellite L40 - 17R?

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite L40 - 17R with 2 GB RAM and I want to upgade my video memory: 256 MB Max (384MB). How can I do this?

  Unfortunately you can not upgrade you RAM physically as your video RAM is just shared memory.

  You can try to increase the amount of RAM in the BIOS because the video RAM should be a shared memory. If you can't find some options in the BIOS, that allows to increase the amount of video RAM, then you won´t be able to update...

  To learn more about shared memory, please see the following site:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Memory_Architecture

  I must also tell you that even if you would be able to increase the amount of graphics memory shared, it won´t affect performance not really since the system RAM is slower then a sort of RAM dedicated.

• How to stop Satellite L40 - 14N connect to non-preferred networks?

  I'll put up a Satellite L40 - 14N notebook and only want it to be able to connect to a designated wireless LAN router. The network adapter is a Realtek RTL8187B and the laptop runs Windows Vista Edition home premium (v6.0.6000). The machine is currently working on a WLAN with WPA pre-shared key.

  I have read a number of Web pages such as:

  http://ask-Leo.com/how_can_i_block_neighboring_wireless_networks.html

  At halfway on this page, it displays the setting "Automatically connect to non preferred networks" in one of the boxes of properties. In the property fields I see on this machine the I can't find this setting and I don't have a list of options to change the priority of connection or preferred networks.

  Does anyone know if the automatic connection to other networks can be disabled on this computer and if so... How?

  I need the machine for details of a unique WLAN connection and if the network is not present then do not access anything else.

  I noticed the "Connect to a more preferred network if available" parameter in one of the other properties boxes, is this similar?

  Any help much appreciated! :-)

  Pete

  Hello

  "As explained on the website of the 3rd party you should uncheck the option to automatically connect to the non preferred networks.
  You must mark the neighbours WLan and press the properties button.
  Then a new window should open and on the Connections tab, you should * uncheck * the option called + Connect then this network is in range.

• Satellite L40 - 18Y: corrupt system files - how to use the recovery partition

  Greetings,

  One of my friends bought the Bulgarian electronic Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E) from a major retailer and insists on the fact that it came without any CD, but the first time he installed Vista.

  After that some of his other friends have uninstalled Vista and XP for unknown reasons (he says that some drivers and patches were necessary to make XP work properly, I think he might have something on LBA48 and SP1).

  In any case, installing XP died, and the disk share is the file system is damaged.
  After I removed it with gparted I have two disk actions now.
  1st row in the table to partition: ntfs share labeled WinRE (no hidden bootable)
  (He has a stash of file RavMon.exe and autorun.inf which implies that damage to the installation of XP are perhaps caused by a virus)
  Second row in the partition table: empty (installation of XP was)

  Third row in the table to partition: ntfs share with data

  The problem is that the first partition unbootable and act like partition recovery, even when I toggle the boot flag.

  It is all recovery partition and how I should go?
  I read in some messages if you press '0' when the computer starts the Bios it will start automatically, but it did not work.

  A manual which was available for download for this model on Toshiba Support site the key has been specified as F12. It didn't work either.

  I'll be very grateful for directions, solutions or ideas.

  Hello

  There is perhaps a little change to reinstall Vista with the HDD recovery procedure.
  Please check if it would work.
  -Turn on the laptop and press F8
  -Check if there is an option called fix my computer
  -If so, select it, and then choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

  But to be honest I don t see the chances it would work because you have already removed the Vista from the HARD drive.

  You must have read the user manual before deleting the Vista.
  The manual (Chapter 3), said that if the recovery DVDs has not been handed over with Notepad then you create the DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator (is was also preinstalled). The user manual also describes the above HARD drive recovery procedure.

  However, the recovery DVDs can also be ordered here:

• Re: How to install Windows XP Home on a Satellite L40 - 17R

  I bought a laptop Satellite L40 - 17r without Windows installed and the store didn t give me all the drivers also.
  When I check your "how to install windows XP on a L40.pdf. It says to download the driver package that I can't find on your website.

  I have a Windows XP Home genuine SP2, but I can t install as WXP does ' t find the hard drive.
  I'd be the appropriate driver package to install Windows XP on my laptop.

  If I have an external floppy drive can't, I used a USB drive external hard also add the necessary drivers so that Windows XP can see my hard drive (160 GB HARD DRIVE (5400 RPM) SATA).

  Thanks for your response

  Hello Xavier

  I think installing WXP on L40 laptop is most asked in recent months. I recommend to check this forum category and you will find answer to your question. If you have no floppy, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Solution is Nlite software.

  Use as search terms in the advanced search option and you will find so many threads with exact explanation on its use.

• Satellite L40 - how to restore factory settings?

  I really hope that someone can help me before I break my laptop.

  I have a portable Satellite L40, who started showing an error logonui.exe on the login page, at the same time, the error avrt.dll started and my sound stopped working.
  I tried to put a new avrt.dll file, which it won't let me.
  So I decided to do a clean install of the operating system (vista).

  I don't have a recovery disk to do it well, so I tried to do a factory reset, by pressing F11, 0 and C, I was able to access the page where you enter your product key, which said while the sources\install.wim was not present and could not continue.
  Then I tried F8 Repair computer, that when he goes to the page with 6 options, does give me the option of HARD drive recovery, it is said to restore complete windows, but don't give out information when I press on it.

  Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this problem, as I'm getting rather annoyed now. Thank you

  Hey Buddy

  As I m wrong not Sat L40 has not was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
  So, you won't be able to recover without recovery disks or Microsoft Windows disk.

  Put the recovery disk (if you don t have this recovery disk using your own drive of Microsoft Windows) and boot from the CD or DVD.
  The required drivers are available on the Toshiba page and you could download it after the installation of the OS Win.

  Notes; you need the serial key of Microsoft to activate windows. You cannot use the Toshiba serial key which is placed at the bottom of the unit. It belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and will not work with your private version

• Satellite L40 - 18Z - how to turn on wireless?

  I have Satellite L40 - 18Z running Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

  I've had a few cases where the wireless seems to have failed. On this instance, the LED at the front does not shine despite the switch is either off or on position. I checked the network card settings and it is activated. I have disabled/enabled the adapter, but without success. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver - with no success. I checked for the latest drivers, but they are already installed.

  I also deleted and reinstalled the adjacent wireless card to memory, there still without success. The network and sharing Center diagnosis indicates only that the without wire must pass away - but I am unable to do so.

  Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

  Hello

  The WIFI connection can be activated in different ways: with the hardware switch you have ever tried and key combination FN + F8.
  So have you activated the wireless network card by pressing FN + F8?

  From my own experience, I can say that the WLAN led is only if you use this key combination too.
  Check this box!

  In addition, you wrote on reinstall drivers WLAN you have installed you exactly? The most recent and pre-tested WLAN drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

  Last but not least, I also updated the BIOS, if nothing else works.

  I'm trying to restore my laptop to factory settings; It's a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18z. I tried the F8 procedure it did not work, also was in backup and Food Center, but it leaves me only the backup files. I guess I m going to need a disc, I'm OK, any help would be appreciated.

  Gary

  Yes you are right. You need for installation of recovery image recovery disk.

  If you n t have it maybe you can order a new one on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Another solution is to install own OS using the Microsoft installation disc.
