How to restore Vista on old Satellite P300?

Sorry it's a long.

I bought a new P70 to replace my old P300 that came with Vista and I now want to give it a new facility for the children to use. The problem is that I had partitioned the disk and had tested the betta and the version RC1 of Windows 7 before its release and he also had XP, now I can't get on the recovery drive holding the 0 key and did not have the repair option on the splash screen advanced when using the F12 key. I know that the Recovery partition is still there because I saw it when using a disk partitioning tool before you make changes and I'm deleting it.

After what I read I think that drive hidden (EISA Configuration) that holds the BCD, stored options for the 0 key and the menu key F12. I made backup discs when I arrived at the origin of the laptop and checked well records, but when I went to use it, they have been declared as corrupt so the only other option I had was the images I made with another program but cannot boot from the disc I made and I guess it's because of SATA drivers Win 7 could not be started or until what I injected drivers, just do not remember how I got them in the disk imaging.

So, if anyone knows where the option for the 0 key is stored, and I assume it's in the BCD himself, someone know how to recover it or re - write? The other option I can think is how the recovery partition is enabled and try to do otherwise. My oldest son has a more recent P300, is it possible to copy the BCD and its player hidden files to start mine? The other thing is when you restore from the recovery partition you need a Windows product key or is already stored on the recovery partition because I can never remember having seen one and I'm not one for my new P70.

Any ideas?

After these modifications and tests with your P300, you will not be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility more. This works if the laptop has only factory settings.

Now, there's only one way to install the original use of Vista recovery disks. I m afraid you didn't create these disks, right?

Anyway, Satellite P300 is well known to me and my brother has the same machine. We updated with new SSD and installed Win7 on it. It works like a rocket. So my advice to you is to install Win7 on this machine. All the necessary drivers, the tools and the utilities that you can find on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

If you need help with it let me know.
One more thing: the product key at the bottom belongs to the original version of Vista and it cannot be used for activation Win7.

    Hello!

    Any response would be greatly apreciated,

    Thank you, Sophie x

    Video on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQaBRJoH-M0] (2mins in) you "lever" off the coast of the plastic band that runs across the top of the keyboard and remove the 2 screws. I expect that the connector of the ribbon cable must be of the type where a hinged band (diff color to the body of the connector) holds the cable in place. It appears if the cable is fired and you push it when the cable is inserted. There is normally a line on the cable to show that you have completely inserted the cable and the cable is inserted instead. -Examine the original cable until you remove

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, with HP you will need to press F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    See you soon.

  • Satellite A300-1QD - how to restore Vista preinstalled?

    Hey,.

    I made a big mistake, two years ago. I installed windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1QD but on the laptop Windows Vista was installed and I have no recovery disk, but I have the original serialnumber of it.

    Are there opportunities to put Windows Vista on the laptop without buying a new version of Windows Vista?

    welcome them

    steste123

    Hello

    If you don t have a recovery disk, you must order such a Toshiba drive directly to restore preinstalled Windows Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings):
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    But it s not free as far as I know it costs about 30 Euros.

    So I t understand why you didn't create the recovery disc yourself. Everything is mentioned in the user manual

  • Satellite L300. How to restore Vista after replacing HARD drive?

    This hard drive died a week after I bought the laptop just for a month ago.

    Then, I favour toshiba wrote and said that it be fixed in the rehabilitation of specific local store.
    Then store made me a new hard drive, so the files have disappeared.

    There is not any operating system is installed there, and I was not even trying to create a before recovery disk.
    To restore the system to the L300, it must use its recovery disc, as soon as I hear?
    The original system is vista. When I tried to insert a xp disc, it showed error after all the loading "stop: 0x0000007b...". »
    Could someone tell me how to handle?
    Thank you very much!

    > There is not any operating system is installed there, and I was not even trying to create a before recovery disk.
    Bad, bad. Buddy. Generally, you need to create the recovery to the first disk using the laptop.
    T did not read the user manual? Didn't you see the reminder?
    It s always recommended to create the recovery disk!

    > I've heard to restore the system to the L300, it must use its recovery disk, right?
    Yes, you are right. In order to restore the Vista, you must use the recovery disc!

    > The original system is vista. When I tried to insert a xp disc, it showed error after all the loading "stop: 0x0000007b...". "Could someone tell me how to handle?
    I think that it does not work because of controller SATA HDD.
    Either you'll assign compatible SATA mode (in BIOS)
    Or you must include the Windows XP SATA drivers.

    Check the HowTo of this forum area to get some details how to integrate the SATA (AHCI drivers) in Win XP.

  • Satellite L300: How to restore Vista

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba L300-180 with Vista Home Basic. For some reason I can't access my windows. So I want to make a recovery. Wehn I turn on the computer and press F8 and choose repair only
    Watch no repair options normal startup options or mode of economy at all. How is it possible and how can I recover a work entirely of windows?

    Hello

    The L300 supports a HARD drive recovery option.
    You need to start Notepad and then press F8 and choose the option called repair your computer

    This should start the recovery.
    If something will go wrong during the recovery or recovery hang himself, then press the ESC key to break the procedure and choose repair to follow with the installation.

    Usually, this should help. If this isn't the case, then I guess there is something wrong with the recovery partition.
    In this case, you will need to order the DVD of restoration of Toshiba.

    To do this, see this page:

  • Satellite A200: How to restore Vista back

    I have a new a200.
    After a few fews on Vista I installed Windows xp.
    Now, I put the Vista (without xp) from the recovery partition.

    How can I do this?

    Michael

    You n t need to install the Vista partition but the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Just put it in the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

    Notepad starts from the CD and the recovery CD will format the HARD drive!
    The entire procedure will take about 10 minutes. Then the laptop will be set back to factory settings.

  • How to install Vista on my Satellite L300-1F8 (PSLBGE)?

    Hello guys. I have some problems with my laptop. First of all, certain details so that you know exactly what I'm working with:

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L300-1F8 PSLBGE
    OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

    I had problems with several drivers (video, modem), but I managed to solve these stars with drivers from the Web site.

    Now, if I go to Device Manager, there are only 2 things with yellow triangle:

    OTHER DEVICES (that's the category)
    Ethernet controller
    SM Bus controller

    It seems that I can't do this work. Can you please specify? I read on the internet, but still could not find a good answer (or perhaps I looked in the wrong place).

    If you can provide me with some answers/links I would really appreciate it. TKS a lot for your time spent helping me!

    2nd thing to ask: How can I test my webcam included? I can't find any software to run? Let me know on this subject.

    Razvan

    Hello Razvan

    I hope that we will find the solution for you, but at first I have to ask you something:
    You bought your laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled?

    In any case, all the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in order to good facilities. When you do this, everything will be OK. I just hope that you started with driver chipset. It must be installed first.
    I can't order exact facilities for your laptop, but if you want I can send you my P300 laptop. It is quite similar.

    You have installed the LAN and WLAN (Ethernet) drivers?
    Card reader installed too?

    Install the driver for the webcam. Features of webcam you can test with Skype or installed Camera Assistant software.

  • Restoration of an old Satellite A100-204

    I am struggling to find any software at all for my Satellite A100-204.
    I had to reinstall windows XP on it and obviously lost all software pre-installed to the touchpad, software control unit wifi etc etc. It's been a while since I used this machine, so I don't remember even what software have even called, still less how they worked!
    The machine is a hand so I have none of the provided disks.

    Is there anywhere in support of Toshiba systems to get the software for a machine of this old?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think Liam has already mentioned what you need: the drivers are placed in the archive area of the Toshiba UE driver page.
    Installation command isn't very important; Simply start by current drivers such as chipset, LAN, WLan, etc.
    Finally, install the Toshiba tools and utilities.
