• Satellite L40 - 18Y: corrupt system files - how to use the recovery partition

  Greetings,

  One of my friends bought the Bulgarian electronic Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E) from a major retailer and insists on the fact that it came without any CD, but the first time he installed Vista.

  After that some of his other friends have uninstalled Vista and XP for unknown reasons (he says that some drivers and patches were necessary to make XP work properly, I think he might have something on LBA48 and SP1).

  In any case, installing XP died, and the disk share is the file system is damaged.
  After I removed it with gparted I have two disk actions now.
  1st row in the table to partition: ntfs share labeled WinRE (no hidden bootable)
  (He has a stash of file RavMon.exe and autorun.inf which implies that damage to the installation of XP are perhaps caused by a virus)
  Second row in the partition table: empty (installation of XP was)

  Third row in the table to partition: ntfs share with data

  The problem is that the first partition unbootable and act like partition recovery, even when I toggle the boot flag.

  It is all recovery partition and how I should go?
  I read in some messages if you press '0' when the computer starts the Bios it will start automatically, but it did not work.

  A manual which was available for download for this model on Toshiba Support site the key has been specified as F12. It didn't work either.

  I'll be very grateful for directions, solutions or ideas.

  Hello

  There is perhaps a little change to reinstall Vista with the HDD recovery procedure.
  Please check if it would work.
  -Turn on the laptop and press F8
  -Check if there is an option called fix my computer
  -If so, select it, and then choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

  But to be honest I don t see the chances it would work because you have already removed the Vista from the HARD drive.

  You must have read the user manual before deleting the Vista.
  The manual (Chapter 3), said that if the recovery DVDs has not been handed over with Notepad then you create the DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator (is was also preinstalled). The user manual also describes the above HARD drive recovery procedure.

  However, the recovery DVDs can also be ordered here:

  Hello

  It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

  First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

  Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

  If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

I was really disappointed Toshiba does not seem to deliver the XP drivers for this laptop. I managed to get the sound works for what its worth (sound jumping) but shortcut keys and video drivers does not at all.

  Anyone who has had more luck installing Windows XP on this laptop?

  Hello

  I can't help you about shortcut keys, but in the case of videodrivers, you should visit www.intel.com for video drivers from your computer has a processor intel 900GMA video chipset.
  Just go to the Intel site and download the drivers for this chipset, it should work.

  Hello

  Windows XP offers a format function in specific SETTINGS.
  It asks to format the disk to NTFS.

  If you need to format it first!

  I assume that you have already installed the SATA driver. Is this good?
  Such SATA driver is usually necessary to recognize SATA HDD.

  If you don t have an external floppy drive to install the SATA driver, then use nLite free application that would be you can create a new XP CD and include the SATA drivers.

  For more details please check this doc from Toshiba:
  [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

  Good luck
