  How to install Vista on a pc without a CD ie., netbook player?

  Here is a procedure (even if you did not provide enough information to be sure):http://www.computingunleashed.com/install-windows-7-vista-on-your-hard.html.

  You can also install it on a network from another computer (assuming it has a sort of Systm of operation already installed and the drive can be partitioned to keep account of two different systems) - and that the other computer equipped with a DVD player.

  Here's another method if you have access to the necessary alternative: http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-use-usb-or-firewire-portable-external-hard-drive-to-install-windows-vista-without-dvd-drive/.

• Impossible to install Vista on Satellite A300 PSAGCE - not ACPI compliant

  Hello

  I'm recovering the laptop from a friend.
  He has installed Windows XP on its Satellite A300 PSAGCE and concluded that of course XP 32-bit Windows does not support the full functionality of the laptop.

  Now I wanted to reinstall Vista that came with it. I have two recovery DVD but when I wanted to start them (them two DVDs) I always get the error message that the system is not fully ACPI-compatible.

  Now of course this laptop should work with Vista and the provided restore DVD should work as well, no?
  I tried to download a Bios nw, but it seems 1.10 is the most recent.

  I also can't find all the ACPI settings in the BIOS that I could activate.

  Could someone help me?
  It is really urgent and driving me crazy!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Strange! Usually, if you have created the DVD recovery Toshiba using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator then everything should work correctly and you should be able to install Vista on this A300!

  I put t know if you have changed something in the BIOS or elsewhere, but you should access the BIOS and should define the default settings.
  Then try to boot from the recovery DVD Toshiba again.

  Good luck

  Hello!

  First of all, you should check the user manual. There you can find all the details on how to recover a Toshiba laptop.

  In any case, if your laptop came without recovery disk you can create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That's why you need one or two DVDs and then you have factory on a DVD.
  If you created the recovery disk, you can boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. Windows will be reinstalled, and you get back to factory settings.

  But you can also recovery a Toshiba laptop without recovery disk. So go to the F8 advanced boot menu and choose fix my computer. Now, you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, you can search a bit in the forum. You will find a sufficient number of threads on the recovery procedure.

• How to install Vista on Satellite M40

  I have a Satellite Pro M40 and I think to install Vista on it. I have no problem with the development of an operating system on my PC, after many, many times before. but I'm not sure I put it on my M40.
  Can someone give some advice?

  Do I have to reformat the drive M40 first? If so, any reformatting program won't work or can I do it via the recovery disk provided. I am wary about using the recovery disc I do not know what to expect.

  Any help appreciated.

  You can choose several ways of instillation. You can upgrade XP to Vista, you can install the Vista on a second partition or you will overwrite the existing XP.

  If you overwrite the XP Vista will delete all installed applications.
  I recommend you to install Vista on the second partition.
  In this case, you can use the two operating system, XP, and Vista.

  When you start you laptop, you will get a Boot Manager.
  Then you could choose either XP or Vista

  PS: as much as I know many applications is not compatible with Vista, and you will need new versions (if they exist!)
  At the moment no Vista drivers are available for M40 :(

• How to recover the Satellite A100 without recovery disk

  Hi all

  I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 settings * without * a restore CD via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  It is really unfortunate, I know it can be done as I did before butI for the life of me forgotten what was this key sequence I can't find the article I stumbled initially on!

  I've scoured the web looking for this key sequence and all the proposed solutions, I fell on do not seem to work.

  Unsuccessful attempts so far:
  -Press and hold 0 power
  -various suggest 'F' keys: F1, F8, F10
  -now the delete key

  Note: I guess it may be worth mentioning that pressing F8 actually take me on-screen "start options advanced windows" but I don't have any recovery options.

  Yeh Yes, I'd * extremely * grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here because it makes me crazy... the fact that I've done this before, it that much worse!

  > I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 to the factory without the recovery CD settings via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  As I know the A100 series has not been fitted with the recovery of HARD drive partition!
  And so I doubt that any combination of keys will start the partition recovery!

  So you only chance to recover the laptop is to take the recovery disk, then boot from it.
  You can also try to install the disk Microsoft Windows operating system and then could install the drivers of Toshiba on the pilot site of Toshiba!

  See you soon

• Satellite A300 - need recovery disk

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 with Windows Vista pre installed, but I did not receive any CD or DVD with Vista. I have just a sticker with the CD key on the back of the laptop.

  I installed Windows XP for personal reason and now I want to reinstall Windows Vista by using the HDD Recovery folder.
  Can I install or I should have done a DVD with Vista?

  Thank you

  Sorry, but now you are not able to install Vista with HARD drive recovery. HARD drive recovery can only be used on a system Windows Vista installed XP doesn t support this function.

  Your mistake was that you didn't burn the recovery disk with Vista Toshiba recovery disc creator, and now, you are not able to burn it.

  The only way to return Vista is the recovery disk, and now you have to order it on the site of Toshiba or an authorized service provider.

  So I just chat with customer service and they told me that I have to pay to upgrade because I don't have the disc, big right I paid hundreds of dollars for a program of law before cs6 came out and no can't download it anymore.

  So I say to go here if I want to install it

  http://prodesigntools.com/Adobe-CS5-5-direct-download-links.html

  Who told me is a direct download, but it's not that I have to download a trial version, then load the cs5.5, then contact support to have them removed my broken computers in the list of activation or what they call it.

  Or I can pay more money for something I don't need.

  In all honesty, it seems more useful to simply download a cracked copy then have to jump threw these hoops to get something that I paid for, which people who say I don't have it support with a cracked/hacked exemplary customer support said they do not supported for earlier versions.

  1. Call to Adobe to get your activations CS5.5 released so you can't turn them off yourself
  2. Download the trial prodesigntools.com CS5.5
  3. Install

• Allowing Satellite A300-16I recovery disk

  I recently bought this laptop and I get this reminder to make a recovery disk, but does not work the link to the program.

  When I found the recovery disk program in its original folder it has always refused to open.
  My laptop "" just think for a moment and then pretend nothing happened.

  Maybe I could download a working version of this program...?

  From my own experience after a third system to restart a recovery reminder pops up saying: you must create a recovery DVD.
  You said you found recovery disk program in the original record well, as far as I know there is a TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator shortcut on the desktop.
  This shortcut allows stars to this application.
  If this is not possible, then you can try to recover the laptop again, and then to create the recovery CD.

  To start the recovery process you must press the F8 key immediately after starting the system.
  Then choose the option called fix your computer and follow the instructions on the screen.
