HOWTO recover Toshiba Satellite 4070 CDS using TSetup...

Hi all

I'm trying to restore the laptop to my uncle. Due to the fact that he had lost his cd player (cd player was not displayed in Explorer, more)

Instead of messing around with drivers, I suggested that it would be much easier and better (new installation) to recover the pc.

Only one problem: it seems to be a password in the bios when I restart the pc and press "Esc". This means that I can not change the boot order and currently the laptop only starts the disc and its hard drive. Note: he told me he never install a bios password and in this case, you may not know...
The thing with pressing 'C' when the bootable recovery cd is that it does not work neither.

Next thing I tried was implemented in windows 98 using a windows 98 Startup disk resulting in the same problem as above: after the installation of windows 98 has no found CD-ROM.

My latest idea was to take a look on the "TOSHIBA Toole & utilities CD" where I found a folder (G:\COMMON\MANUAL\DUTCH\DISK1) that seems to be a bootable Win98 floppy with custom code. I tried this and bingo... I start.

After starting it the "Toshiba companion disk utility" screen appeared where I had the option of setting up your computer.

Only problem: it is said:
"TSETUP cannot be used when the level of security is USER. only a SUPERVISOR can use this utility. Press any key to continue... »

You are my last resort, and I hope you can help me out here...

Thanks in advance,
Ronald

Hello

As far as I know, this utility (TSETUP) was placed on the companion disk.
This utility allows you to enter the BIOS menu.
To start the tool, you must start MS-DOS then TSETUP mode.
But if the BIOS password is enabled I don t think that it is possible to enter the BIOS.
Unfortunately, in this case, the only way is to contact the ASP to remove/change the BIOS password.

Good bye

    Can someone tell me how to access the HD?

    With the best regards.

    Hello

    As far as I know the HARD drive is under the keyboard. Keyboard is fixed by 4 screws. Remove and turn the keyboard (face down) on the touchpad. You will see two screws that attach the HARD drive. I hope you know what you need to do now.

    Please be careful because all parts of this material are very sensitive and you can damage it. If you are not sure you can do it yourself, contact the Service partner. If you manage on the wrong path the pins on the HARD drive may be damaged.

    If you only do you it on your own risk.

    Good luck!

  • I have a toshiba satellite windows 8 and the Messenger keeps freezing upwards...

I have fragmented out of the computer, cleared out all memory and ran the troubleshooting of hardware and devices on the computer. Can someone tell me how to solve the problem of the computer?

    Hello

    1. What is the exact model of the Toshiba Satellite?
    2. Using a mouse or the keyboard to move the cursor?

    I suggest you to update the touchpad drivers manually by downloading it from the manufacturer's website.

    It might be possible that the driver for the touchpad does not work correctly.

    Note: Please uninstall the old touch pad drivers version before installing the newer version of the driver.

    To uninstall the drivers of following steps:

    a. drag the mouse down to the left and right click on the Start icon.

    b. Select Device Manager.

    c. right-click on the drivers touchpad and click Uninstall.

  • Since another laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 - can I use Recovery CD?

    Hello

    I can't get a computer to load Vista (Equium l300 (I think).
    Ubuntu loads very well (I have a linux partition 8 GB, with GRUB installed in a separate partition), but when I try to load vista I get "to go". "and nothing happens.

    I tried HDDRecovery by pressing '0' or 'F8', but this gave me a check disk for errors and nothing more.
    I always have a backup of HARD drive recovery in another partition, but I know not where to place them, can you tell me where?

    Then I discovered that I have a wife satellite toshiba recovery disc.

    I can use it to recover the satellite or it will remove a real installation of Vista, put a 'pirate' new copy in its place?
    If I can't do that, can someone tell me where to place the folder HDDRecovery image?

    In General, Toshiba create materials recovery and images of recovery for each laptop model separately.
    Each laptop model has different hardware and recovery images are not the same.
    Before the start of recovery it will be checked if the recovery image belongs to some portable computers. If the identification is not just installation of recovery is interrupted.

    One last thing. If you have changed the structure of the partitions or installed some other OS, you will not be able to use the recovery saved on the HARD disk image.
    It is bad enough that you have ignored the reminder of recovery with clear instructions on creating recovery DVDs.

    Here is the original post:
    Important INFORMATION

    your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair
    your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly
    hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer"
    and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery for this purpose.

    Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator"
    to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original factory, installed state
    even if your computer is seriously damaged.

  • I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5305 application, running Windows 7. I made a few cds of music there are chandeliers and that they will not play on this computer. They do not play on my computer of husbands, good girls.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5305 application, running Windows 7.  I made a few cds of music there are chandeliers and that they will not play on this computer.  They do not play on my computer of husbands, good girls.  I think that they are MP3.  My cd drive is appearing and showing to work properly, but just read it as a blank CD.  To go with this... I am a legal transcriptionist and use a program called FTR player.  I downloaded some MP3 audio files and who won't play in my FTR player either, so I think it has something to do with. MP3 files, in the form of .wav files play in my FTR player very well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Jodi

    Red flag.  CCcleaner.  If you used to "clean" your registry database, which can cause problems.  CCcleaner is also a good program, but registry cleaners do not help and remove what they think are "unused" entries in the registry that can cause problems later.

    Try to download the Real Player and see if that corrects your problem, but if it is not, you may need to restore your computer to the factory settings by your user guide's instructions.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.
