• How to activate on my Satellite L500 WLAN?

  I have the Toshiba Satellite L500 and it has Windows 7. It has a switch something internal wireless or EV and I asked several people and they all say the same thing that you can activate the wireless with BIOS or using FN + F8 but I turned it on in the BIOS and the light on the front of the laptop with wireless on is not on and when I try the key Fn and F8 each other tab appears except the wireless.

  It makes me angry that I almost want to take the laptop and bring it back even though it's a great laptop but wireless, I'm not interested.

  Please help me solve this problem!

  Please check device manager and be sure the wireless network adapter is installed and enabled correctly.
  If the card is correctly activated all what you need to do is use the FN + F8 key combination.

  Please note: If no wireless communication device is installed, no dialog box is displayed using FN + F8.

  As far as I know on the second partition of HARD drive folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start the installation of (F8 at startup) HARD disk recovery partition recovery image D will be installed on the C partition. In this case the D partition is not deleted. C just partition will be formatted before installation of recovery image begins.
  Just use F8 option and go fix my computer. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the software factory default recovery option.
  > 2 If the disc is defective, how do I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?
  After reading this question, I see you didn't read the document s user manuals. You need to create a recovery media (DVD recovery) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the HARD drive or you want to install original recovery image on the new HARD drive.
  3 > unrelated meanings, can I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64 bit version?
  Of course you can do it. Please visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all the drivers, tools and utilities are available here. Of course before doing this, create recovery DVDs.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite A300 - how to recover Vista after installing XP?

  Hello

  I'm sorry but these problem I have copy of partition (d: winre) and intended (e hddrecovery) now I need to know how I can recover?

  The original operating system with the laptop is Vista and I'm trying to install XP so that I change the size of the partition. Please help me to know how the original recovery system?
  Notes: No there are no no action when I press f12 or f8 in XP but in the last time. I found repair Windows and new Vista recovery

  Thank you

  Hello

  After installing another OS, you can retrieve only Vista if you start from the Toshiba Recovery disk and install the content. There is no disk HARD recovery option more, it means that the HARD drive recovery partition will not help you.
  In addition the Windows RE partition has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s a Vista feature.

  Then boot from the Toshiba recovery disc and will respond to factory settings! ;)

• How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

  Please, I desperately need help.

  My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
  It's on the screen threre.

  He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

  How am I suppose to install windows vista?
  Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

  Anyone with an idea. Please

  > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  It was a big mistake buddy
  The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
  But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

  Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

  You need a recovery disk, and you can order it here:

• How to recover my laptop Satellite Pro?

  Hey I met unmountable_boot_volume blue screen so decided to just format the pc, however;

  When I select repair your computer, it shows windows loading page "files" and then after all turns black with a white cursor...

  I have a satellite installed pro win 7

  Any advice on how to get this shit? I'm afraid that if I buy a recovery disk I receive always the black screen with cursor do not understand why this is happening

  Thank you

  You can not force HDD recovery works correctly. From my experience, I can just say: either it works or not. If this is not only an option to install the recovery image uses a recovery media.

  To be honest I don t understand why you didn't create a support of recovery as described in s operating manuals.

  The value of the default BIOS and try again. If you will be faced with the same problem or order the original recovery disk or try to install the OS using the Microsoft installation disc. On this way, you can check the HDD features.

• 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 can I uninstall touchpad Satellite L500-128

  Hello!!! I need help?
  Someone knows how can I uninstall the keyboard of my Toshiba L500-128?

  Thank you!!

  Hello

  Why you want to uninstall the touchpad?
  If you wish, you can disable this by using the FN + F9 key combination.
  This allows to enable or disable the touchpad without uninstalling the driver for the touchpad.

  But you can uninstall the touchpad driver in Control Panel-> programs and features

  You will find the installed the Synaptics touchpad software.
  Otherwise, you can uninstall the driver for the touchpad in the Manager of peripherals-> mouse and other pointing devices.

• How to reinstall Vista on Satellite L300D

  How can I reinstall Windows Vista on this laptop because I reformatted the drive.
  So that being said, help!
  I have a windows vista Home premium disk and I got the serial number of the computer before I reformatted.

  I have no recovery disk.

  Hello

  This laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery and it was possible to create the DVD of own recovery using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool.
  It seems that you didn't create this disk before you reformatted the HARD drive.

  Well, that was a big mistake!
  If you have an original DVD of Vista then you could install Vista using this disc.
  Then, you can visit the page of the Toshiba driver and could download the Vista drivers needed!

• How to set up the Satellite L500/013 for the first time?

  New laptop and the first time a brand laptop user, I was told it would be simple.
  Turn on the laptop and was invited to choose between operating 32 or 64-bit systems, and did not know which way to go and ended up choosing the 64 (not sure) if it was the right decision.

  Then came with a big warning screen saying that all information on the hard disk will be deleted.
  Totally freaked out and turned off the machine do not know if I said yes it would have to wipe my Windows 7 operating system.

  Anyway can offer advice or suggestions would be great.

  How can I get this thing going?

  Hi mate

  Don t worry not about this message.
  It s usually treat the first partition of the HARD disk is deleted if the recovery procedure should be started.

  This occurs by using the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.
  In any case... Choose the version of Win 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), and then follow the instructions on the screen.

  Hello

  Looks like a complicated situation. You can now proceed as follows:

  1. ask someone who is an expert, allow him to copy your important files on a DVD or an external hard drive and apply recovery media to reformat and reinstall the operating system. After reinstalling you can put your files and you'll have a system clean and sober.

  2. press F8, and then choose Safe mode. In this safe mode, you should try to back up your data on an external hard drive as USB should work in safe mode.

  In both cases, you need to retrieve the machine, so just prepare to backup your data and reinstall the Windows operating system.

• How to remove Vista on Satellite A200-221?

  Hello!

  I have read all the threads on this subject, but I can't always get rid of Vista.
  I tried the way in which the FDD, but when I click on F6, I know not why, but it just don't work. He did not enter the menu to select another SCSI, Raid...
  I tried the nLite too, but does not work either...

  Help :-(

  I have an A200-221.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  GParted is don t know for me.
  Always is it that your laptop needs to install the SATA driver if you want to install XP on this laptop.
  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers, and you can download from the Toshiba page or from the Intel page too.

  Back to the installation procedure.
  You have two options;
  You install the SATA drive external floppy driver by pressing the F6 key during XP Setup process or you will create a clean XP CD using the nLite.

  The two procedures work for sure. In your case if it n t work properly, then * you did something wrong! *
  And I recommend to repeat this procedure over and over again and recommend that you check each bet twice!

  You can also erase all partitions in Vista if you want to use the XP.

  Good bye
