• Recovery Vista Help - Satellite L300-149

  Hi all!

  Have you tried many places and can't find the answer I'm looking for, so here I am.

  My nephew has a Toshiba Satellite L300 - 149 that will not start after Windows Vista log in screen.

  I want to do a complete system restore on it (ie. back to the factory settings).

  Now, it was delivered without recovery disks which seems to be the norm these days so after much seraching I found directions to press the F8 key and press zero to startup.

  Now... F8 displays a menu (zero key does nothing), but the menu (Options Advanced or something) does NOT include the option to fix the system. It brings up a list of other things including...

  ENABLE BOOT LOGGING
  ENABLE VGA MODE
  LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION
  DIRECTORY SERVICES
  DEBUG MODE
  DISABLE AUTO RE START

  There are a few other options too, but not one that offers a full recovery.

  Can anyone shed some light on how I can do a full restore via HARD drive, or if this model even supports the option? (There were absolutely no tampering with the OS since you bought it.) If not, where can I get the restore disks from?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  The exact description of recovery of the HARD drive that you can find here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  As you can see the option to fix my computer is necessary for the Toshiba HDD recovery process.

  If it s is not available, you must use the Toshiba recovery disc. This disk can restore factory settings too, but the whole disk will be wiped. So if you have important data on it should perform a backup before. ;)

• Satellite L300 - how to accept the Tempro privacy policy?

  Hello

  My utility to update version 1.x Tempro on Vista was working fine, until I did the Tempro v2.2 upgrade and now it is stuck: it says "waiting for confidentiality to be accepted. I click on 'View and accept' and a new privacy policy Tempro window opens and I click on accept
  Then a DOS window opens - TemproLanucher.exe - but it just gets stuck it (white) and will eventually close to return to the first screen "in expectation of confidentiality is agreed" again.

  Someone knows it please any way out of this loop?

• How to install modem HUAWEI E220 HSDPA USB on Satellite L300-11 q?

  I was using this modem on my old computer with windows XP. Now, I bought this laptop with Vista Premium (Satellite L300-11 q).
  I have tried everything that he continues giving error that says: 'Cant find device', but I managed to download the drivers.

  His request now AUTHENTICATION NUMBER that I don't know

  Hello

  Please do not be angry on me, but I don't quite understand you. You try to install some third party external device and you ask computer laptop manufacturer how to proceed.
  For me, it makes sense to go the other way, the same question should be present at the manufacturer of the modem.

  They have good experiences with own products and offer support for different operating systems.

  So before you wait here, contact the modem manufacturer and ask for help.

  Hey,.

  I m a bit confused now
  What exactly happens on your laptop? You can start Windows?

  I think the article MS says it all: to repair Windows you need a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Alternatives to reinstall the entire system use the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. Have you created this disk?

• Satellite L300. Observation on the issues cover the recovery of Vista on a new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need to reinstall Vista (on a Toshiba Satellite L300) runs the "recovery disc" created by Toshiba disc creator before recovery and using a disc of "nine" (Toshiba MK2035GSS, 200 GB).

  Issues related to the:

  (1) I have to partition and format the new drive before starting with recovery disks / DVD (s).
  or which will be done through the recovery process?

  (2) what is the reason for which the current disc is divided into two size equal C: and D: partitions, while
  D: partition seems to be reservered for the system, but only 5 GB are used?

  (3) what is the purpose of the partition 3. ("inactive") with about 1.5 GB of space?

  Thanks in advance for your support and help!

  > 1) I have to partition and format the new drive before starting with recovery disks / DVD (s).
  or which will be done through the recovery process?
  No, because the HARD disk should be formatted during the recovery process.

  (> 2) what is the reason for which the current disc is divided into two size equal partitions C: and D:, while
  D: partition seems to be reservered for the system, but only 5 GB are used?
  On the D partition, you can find the files and folder from HARD drive recovery. HARD disk recovery allows you to recover the laptop HARD drive and in this case, you don't need the recovery disc

  (> 3) what is the purpose of the partition 3. ("inactive") with about 1.5 GB of space?
  It is a Vista partition and is necessary for the backup files. Vista is able to repair the operating system if something bad is going to do this the necessary files that are stored on this partition.

• Satellite L300-29U - Vista crashes, even in safe mode

  Hi, I really hope there is someone out there who can help me, my laptop does not work (properly) more, and I don't know what is the cause.

  * The short version: *.

  Two days ago my computer froze all of a sudden for no apparent reason. It did not (without Ctrl-Alt-Del, etc), I could only move the pointer. Since then, has happened repeatedly, even in safe mode. A potential clue: runs chkdsk c: \r \f results in a blue screen.

  * Details: *.

  I have a Satellite L300-29U (about 3.5 years) with Windows Vista.
  Two days ago the computer is not responding, after running normally for a few hours. I had not installed a new hardware or software. Even the clock had stopped. Only the pointer could be moved, but clicking on had no effect, or no has Ctrl-Alt-Delete. I stopped him via the power button. It restarted normally, I opened it then Firefox, but shortly after the same problem has emerged.
  I selected the Mode without fail to start and then let my antivirus (Avira) program a complete check of the system. The computer froze again after about an hour and 30% in the analysis. (Curiously, the timer showing how much time had passed since the beginning of the analysis was still running, but had stopped the clock of the computer.)
  Later, I tried another full analysis and again once it froze. Before that, I ran a few quick scan negative that came.

  In general, I find that Windows starts fine, but in normal mode it freezes pretty quickly when I try to do something. In safe mode, it freezes more quickly, but it's still sometimes.

  I also tried the "repair your computer" option at startup.
  -System Restore does not help
  -Memory Diagnostic is not a problem

  Searching online, I found suggestions for select command prompt and try to chkdsk. My conclusions:
  -chkdsk c: /f gives no indication of errors. The only thing that might be unusual is the following message at the end (translated from Dutch): "cannot transfer the log to the event log messages. Status 50. »
  -chkdsk c: /r /f results in a blue screen, each time to the same point in the process, namely, the 4th stage (verification of the data of the file), after having transformed the 133 634 files. The blue screen that appears shows the following:

  -----
  QUOTE
  A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
  (...)
  Technical information: * STOP: 0 x 00008086 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
  WORDS
  -----

  * Things I have NOT tried (again): *.

  -Execution of TOSHIBA hard drive recovery
  -Formatting the hard drive

  Why not try these again is that I still have a glimmer of hope that he might be up to a corrupt file, and I don't want to use a gun if it turns out to be a mosquito.

  I tried to look online for questions asked by people with problems and similar symptoms, but I find not only the case with some similarities, not exactly the same thing.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  > Two days my computer froze all of a sudden for no apparent reason
  Above all it s sign parts hardware problem as a module of memory or the motherboard can cause this.

  > Since it happened repeatedly, even in safe mode. A potential clue: runs chkdsk c: \r \f results in a blue screen.

  The command chkdsk access and HARD drive tests so it could also be that the HARD drive is the troublemaker.

  From my point of view, you should start the recovery and should set the device to the factory settings.
  If the device would not work even after you have used the factory condition, I guess that one of the mentioned parts malfunctions.

• How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

  1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

  I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

  Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

  Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
  But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

  Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

• Satellite L300 - error reading disc so I can't start Vista

  Please can you help me?

  Have a Toshiba Satellite L300. All I get is disc read error has occurred, please press Ctrl Alt + Delete.
  How can I get to start again. I have no idea what it takes then just keep pressing Ctrl Alt + Delete and it says a disk read error has occurred.

  I'm going along in circles in. Running Windows Vista Premium.

  Hello!

  You can access the advanced boot menu if you press F8 after starting the laptop? Then you can start to the recovery Toshiba HDD option (select Repair my computer).

  If you can access the advanced boot menu, you must reinstall Windows Vista from the t. Therefore, you can use the Toshiba Recovery disk if you start from it.

• Vista 32 bit Toshiba Power Saver does not work - Satellite L300 PSLB0E

  I have problem with Toshiba power saver - it does not work.
  I have not found a driver for Vista 32 bit here.

  Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB0E-04R012RU VISTA HOME PREMIUM

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  What do you mean with it does not work?
  What energy savings you used?

  The Vista operating system uses clean power options and there is no special Toshiba Power saver for Vista as for Win XP

  Maybe you tried to install the saver of energy for Win XP?

• To install Vista on Satellite M60

  Is that what anyone has experienced hardware problems during the installation of Vista on the laptop above. I have already increased the RAM to 2 GB, which is the maximum.

  I'm sitting looking at a copy of Vista and do not know to install on my laptop or home built PC, Help!

  Thank you

  Hello amber

  If I remember well satellite M60 is not portable to Vista and there may be a bit more problematic with Vista support. I imagine that you will have problems because of incompatible BIOS version, but you can check your hardware using Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. You can find it HERE

  Please use it and see the hardware compatibility report.

  Just for example: I managed to install Vista on Satellite M70. It is also portable to Vista but Vista works well.

• Satellite L300 - upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

  Hi all

  I recently got a Satellite L300 with a basic family OEM of Vista Edition version.
  I have a copy of Windows Vista: drive home edition Premium (upgrade) and decided to use it on the laptop.

  I put the disc in and followed the steps but the upgrade option is removed... It is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
  The laptop comes with Service Pack 1 is already installed and the drive I have is released in stores before Service Pack 1.

  My main question is really how can I get my drive to upgrade my version of Vista. I tried the Google search, this Web site, Microsoft Web site and I get the same answer.

  Basically, go into options and upgrade Express. They're all for me to buy from Microsoft that would be kinda useless as I already have a copy.
  I read something to a site that said my drive would have to have service pack disk and I've seen a site with some sort of disk editing program for Vista but I am not too keen to use it and the 'how' was not very easy to understand.

  Also, I am not too keen on appellant Toshiba or Microsoft on surcharge numbers to get something, I already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.

  Anyway hope someone can help as I really want to upgrade.

  Hello

  I understand and it is really annoying, but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this book with some version of Vista. This version should be updated to better Microsoft security and the most recent available. Because of this Toshiba supply with the last option of SP1.

  So now, you try to install proposed update it there long and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find the solution with Microsoft. For example you can also get info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733

  Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problem. All the drivers, tools, and utilities are downloadable on Toshiba support & download page.

• Satellite L300 & Windows Vista aren't grateful Ipod

  Hi, I hope you can help! I was directed here by Microsoft & Apple - here is my question and also Microsofts response:

  I have an ipod nano 3rd generation, work outside the home a near new laptop with windows vista. iTunes is the entire installation, no problems with the ipod at all but when I plug the ipod in, it only charges the ipod.

  computer doesn't recognize any, the ipod under windows or itunes. It there is no portable device driver in Device Manager, or anywhere at all.

  It is not the usb port as another usb have been recognized. I have tried in all the other usb ports as well. bottom line is that windows vista (and itunes) is not to recognize the ipod at all.

  I've been in contact with apple, with anything. I googled solutions for hundreds of other posts with exactly the same problem but no useful solution. Windows vista has no port of portable device - how can we get this on their pc?

  I've been at this for 4 days now and you have uninstalled/reinstalled much too often and I'm out! all tips (other that "have you tried another usb port' or ' have you reset the ipod" or something similar) would be much appreciated.

  once more, there is no drive of laptop/ipod device located on this computer. Please, I really hope someone can help =)

  * Microsofts response: *.

  Hello

  Step 1: enable USB bus power back

  If the laptop is configured to save power by turning off the power on the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, it may not recognize a connected iPod.

  To activate the rear USB bus power, you can follow the steps mentioned in the link from Apple below
  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS1401

  You said Windows vista has no port of portable device normally, all portable devices are connected via a USB port and they appear under Bus USB controllers in Device Manager.

  Step 2: reinstall the USB controllers.

  First of all, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

  1. click on 'Start', type device manager in the search bar and press "Enter." If necessary, click on continue.

  2. in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right-click on the "host controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

  3. Repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

  Then, restart your computer and windows will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  If the problem persists,

  * Step 3:Download and install the latest drivers from the computer chipset laptop manufacturer s online.*

  * So here I am with the issue still not resolved. * How can I download and install the latest chipset drivers for the Toshiba Satellite L300 & Microsoft Vista to recognize my ipod? *

  Install a material like Everest home Edition or similar diagnostic tool.
  This tool would enable details of the hardware on your laptop.
  It lists all the devices and chipset name too.
  I think that it s Intel chipset, so you can find the driver on the Intel page
