How to restore the Satellite L300 PSLB8E to factory settings?

I have problems with repeated "crash" of my system.
I get the dreaded blue page, which then restarts (usually) pretty quickly.

I think trying the option 'Restore factory settings', but I've never done this before.
If I do, which will leave it on my computer?

I have my own disks which I was invited to do the last few months (I just got this machine since May this year) will be I need it, or is there something else that is needed?

I have a Satellite L300, PSLB8E, using Vista Home Basic

Hello

Hmm. I m wondering if you checked a few discussions here on the same theme.
Did you?
There are more that enough son and I m sure you will not need to create this thread after reading some reviews.

Just a tip; the use of HARD drive recovery option will format the system partition, but the D partition (where the HARD drive recovery files are placed) wouldn't be formatted!

If you are still not sure after reading some discussions, please ask again ;)

    I can't access the menu of BIOS at startup upward or via the control panel. Apparently, I should have a supervisor password, which I don't know and have never been! I even tried the menu with safe mode, using the administrator, sign in, even when nothing is.

    It's easy:

    If you have recovery media, it just put in your DVD/CD player, press F12 when the toshiba logo appears, and then choose the CD drive to boot from.

    After that, a Recovery Wizard will guide you trough the rest of the reocvery process. After that, the HARD drive would be like "factory-installed" which means it would be you bought the machine and the OS is like the first day so use.

  • How to set the Satellite A100-596 to factory without Recovery DVD settings

    I gave my young niece of my old laptop A100-596 for Christmas.
    It worked perfectly on Christmas Eve I packed it upward, in packing of origin, but at the time my niece connected on it has lost 40 GB of data among the drives C and E - everything E drive and the dvd drive had stopped working!

    Now, no one has any explanation for what is happening, nor any reason why a laptop that has performed flawlessly for 18 months would suddenly lose 3/4 of the data on it, but whatever!

    So now I want to restore it to factory, but without a job settings dvd, how? I have all disks involved in perfect condition!
    In addition, I want to fool proof so it can be retrieved in case the person or nothing damaged, this time he cannot repeat the action.

    So I think that if I partition the hard drive so that the recovery of files is accessible by me with a password, which I will NOT share with any of the children, if they bumble once again, then I will be able to recover.

    Moreover, even restoring the system files have disappeared, so I can't even it roll back to a working condition!

    Any advice?

    Hello

    You wrote so much and I think it's the best we descuss all questions slowly.

    I don't know what you mean under non-working DVDs. Is the drive defective optical drive or media DVD is not readable?

    Anyway, the fact is that if you want to have the factory again settings you must install operating system using Toshiba DVD recovery. If you don't have it you can do clean OS installation using the Microsoft DVD facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads.

    When you use recovery media Toshiba HARD whole disc will be erased. Absolutely everything. All data and partitions.
    What you want to do with recovering data unfortunately will not work. You cannot copy the recovery image and start it from the other partitions. Not on Satellite A100.

    On new A300, something like this is possible because the recovery image is stored on the second partition in folder HDDRecovery.

    If you have any other questions please let us know.

    Please read the info on the link below for the different recovery options.

    Make sure that you have backed up files that you do not want to lose as a system recovery will erase all data currently on the hard disk.

    Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) contains a picture of the recovery diskette or if I can get a drive recovery somewhere or any other way to format the drive and reinstall the original content of the laptop?

    Would appreciate if you could answer.
    Thank you... Amare

    Hello

    Usually, the old series from Toshiba was equipped with the recovery disk and the image of Toshiba on the recovery cd.
    If you have a recovery disc, then you will have to boot from that disk to start the recovery procedure.

    If you don t have a recovery disk, then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the operating system and the necessary drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page we.
    It is a portable American and you need to find US page for drivers.

    Why? It is almost never necessary. A good anti-virus program can almost
    always remove the infection. And often leads to problems with formatting
    as you have discovered. Even if you have no problems, it creates a lot
    work for you.

    so my original os is also lost in formatting.now im using, with windows 8 form, a service on the local computer, it is possible to recover my system to the scene when I bought it.

    If you have or can get a DVD installation or a recovery partition,
    Yes. Otherwise, no.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how to restore the original condition?

    Hello

    My computer freezes for a second or 2 from time to time and Toshiba support told me it might be a software problem. I don't think, because he began the day I bought the laptop and the display driver keeps on the work stoppage, but because I said that if it's a software problem.
    I would have to pay for it, I want to try everything before sending it for repair. This is why I would like to restore my Satellite in its original state as he was just at the moment where I bought it.

    So basically I have 2 questions:

    1 - does anyone have any idea why it keeps freezing on me? And what I should try to do to fix it?
    2. can someone tell me how to restore the laptop to its original state?

    Thank you very much Dina

    Hello

    To determine if it of a software problem or not, you need to restore the factory setting and if it doesn't work you can go to an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop for you.

    The factory settings can be restored with the Toshiba recovery disc. I guess that your laptop has been delivered with Windows Vista, if you have options to restore factory settings: the Toshiba disk recovery or HARD drive recovery service.

    HARD drive recovery function formats the first partition of your laptop and install Vista again with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It is an image that is stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDRecovery.
    If you go into the advanced with F8 boot menu after you start the computer, you can start this feature of Toshiba. And then select Repair my computer and some Windows files will be loaded. Then, you can choose the function to drive HARD Toshiba Recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk, you must create first, or have you done this yet? Normally, you get a reminder of recovery message after the first start of the laptop that you must burn this disc. Therefore, you must the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and the image in the folder in HARD drive recovery will be burned on the disc. Then you have a startup disk that can restore the factory settings and HARD whole disc formats then back up your data first!
    The recovery disk is necessary if you have a new HDD or Windows start doesn t. Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery.

    I hope I could help a bit and now you understand how to restore the factory settings.
    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

    Hello

    Your laptop seems to be a Satellite L300 - 03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already indicated on your first visit to thread the Toshiba Canada page and choose this model of laptop on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_bymodel.asp

    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - image of floppy drive. It of for Vista, but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite to create the new disk Win XP that contains SATA drivers.

    Finally use this disk to start.
