How to reformat Satellite C660?

Hi all

My C660 is just over a year & slowdown etc, I thought I'd reformat it with the 4 discs recovery I did when I got it, the problem is, for some time now, the cd/dvd drive does not start as soon as a disc is inserted, & I have to open it manually. In any case, I put the first disc of recovery in & as usual nothing happened, I'm going to 'My Computer' & open from there thinking it would start to do what its supposed to, he did nothing but open & view what's on the disc :-(

How do I get it to work so I can go through the other 4 disks & redo my lappie like new?

Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu.
When the boot menu appears on the display open optical drive and put the first disc inside.
Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

ODD will start to read the data stored on the disk and recovery facility should begin. It starts with the main menu.

How it looks like you can see on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
Just follow the menu and proceed with the installation.

If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    There is not a kind of default settings. When you use F12, you will see listed bootable devices.
    If you want to define which device must be the first or second botable feature you must do it in the BIOS settings.

  • How to connect by Satellite C660-26Z to TV?

    My laptop Satellite C660-26Z doesn't have a HDMI port plug,
    so, how can I connect a laptop cable to use my TV screen.

    Maybe, I need to use decision-making (VGA) port external monitor on my laptop with a special connection cable? Let me know, thank you, Terry.

    Hello

    It depends on the available TV ports.
    Check the ports that are supported by the TV. Recommend to read also the TV manual for more information on the available ports.

    Fact is that this laptop supports just a RGB (VGA) output port. No HDMI or DVI port is available. So you can use just a VGA cable
    Now the question is which port can be used as part of VGA cable.

  • How can I increase the video memory dedicated Satellite C660?

    Hello

    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite C660 and I was wondering if it was possible to increase the minimum 64 MB dedicated video memory. I've got 1696 MB total available graphics memory and 8gbs of RAM.
    I have had a look in the BIOS settings but couldn't find something useful.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. There is not an option where you can change it manually. It works automatically.

    With more RAM, more memory will be used for graphical operations.

  • Satellite C660 - how to upgrade with the webcam internal?

    Hello!

    I just bought a satellite C660, however it did come with a webcam or a microphone, I need now.

    I note the slot above the screen that should accommodate a web cam - it is relatively easy to buy something to get into that and install it myself (I'm not very technical and is not a good range of tools)?

    Or, is it a reliable add-on camera / mic combination should I get?

    The camera lens is especially Skype videoconferencing. Might be interesting to make the recognition of faces too, but not absolutely necessary.

    Thank you!
    Chris

    You can't pass this laptop with the internal webcam.

    I recommend that you buy a simple USB webcam, which can be connected to the USB port if necessary.
