• Should I in fact this recovery DVD - Equium A200-15I

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A200-15I series. For reasons too long to describe here, I don't have the DVD of master restoration - it was not provided with the product and after that a long period, I was told that I would have to pay for it. Not fair, but there you go!

  My request is that the hidden partition on the laptop is still there and what I want to know is that can still recover my windows Vista environment by hitting the F8 key at startup upwards and crosses the screen of recovery without the DVD Master procedure or do I absolutely this disc.

  I am aware that all media that comes with the DVD won't be available, but this isn't a problem.

  I hope someone can help

  Best regards

  Hello Seamus

  To be honest, I'm a little confused, and at first, I just want to clarify something. Notebooks (A200 series) are supplied with recovery DVDs and these books have no recovery image on the HARD disk and you cannot install the OS by using advanced startup options (F8).

  New laptops like A300 models are supplied without recovery media and recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and there is a possibility to install the OS without recovery DVDs. The recovery image is saved on the second partition in HDD Recovery folder. Drive HARD recovery can be done if this folder is not removed.

  If you want to have the factory settings again you need recovery (DVD) image. You can also purchase Microsoft Vista DVD facilities and install your own operating system. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page. Of course some other software like Norton or WinDVD player are not downloadable.

  Of course, I can't start the recovery CD is if there is another solution?

• Equium L20 - cannot complete the recovery procedure - disk error

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium L20 and whats happened is, during a recovery of product, he gets to 25% then emits an error at me and stops working.

  Now when I turn on the laptop, I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing.
  I was informed that my drive is probably broken and I now no operating system but I am a complete computer novice so don't know how it is.

  I took the laptop to PC world a few years ago and they run a recovery of product but I did not my drive, so I want to know is, is it possible to run recovery without the disc?
  (seems to me just don't forget the sound by pressing a few buttons)

  If so, how?
  And if not what someone have any suggestions as to how I can restore the computer?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  > during a recovery of product, sometimes about 25% then emits an error at me and stops working.

  As you mentioned, possibly recovery disk is defective, broken, or similar, this could be the reason why the CD/DVD drive is not able to read the disc and the installation breaks upward.

  You cannot get this phone without the recovery disk! It is an old series laptop and it does not support the HARD drive recovery process, as do other mobile most recent.

  If you have only two ways to install the Windows operating system; you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc (which seems to be broken) or you can install the operating system by using the Microsoft Windows XP disk.

  If install you the operating system using the disk of MS original then you need to install the drivers of Toshiba which are placed on the European driver Toshiba page (look in the archives).

  PS: maybe you could try to burn (copy) the recovery disk using another computer.
  In some cases of the different drives are able to read scratched discs.
  If you want to be successful and if you want to be able to copy the recovery disk, you can then use the new disk in order to restore the operating system on your computer satellite phone.

• Equium L20-197 does not burn DVD

  Hello

  I've had my Toshiba Equium L20-197 for more than a year. I have problems with the DVD burner. He is able to play DVDs, burn CDs and play perfectly fine CDs, is not just to burn DVDs. Had this problem for months, I was wondering if anyone knows a solution for it!

  Secondly, a question more than a question. Is it possible to set the "Play/pause" media key to open an alternative application to Windows Media Player? I use Winamp, and it would be nice if I could take a break using this button and I not WMP opens in the process!

  Thank you

  Astiak.

  Hello

  First something about burning your DVDs of problem.
  Have you tried to burn different types of DVDs? I mean if you have tried different brands of DVD?
  I use only the TDK CD and DVD and I am satisfied. But this does not mean that the TDK will work with your hard drive. The fact is that not all readers of support all media.

  In any case, do you have an error message during the burning process? Have you used different burning applications? I only use one program for burning (Nero) and I do not mix the burning software. I noticed that the sonic program installed on the laptop could have a negative influence on the burning process.

  But on the other side, it is possible that disk and that only aid failures.
  Especially the lens of the drive can not calibrate properly and so the CD / DVD cannot be recognized or burned.

  Now the button configuration media;
  Unfortunately, the buttons are configured fix and it is no longer possible to use WMP if audio CD has been inserted or with WinDVD if the DVD has been inserted.

  I hope I could help bye ;)

• Equium A60-155 recovery DVDs

  My laptop has become very slow, so I decided to reformat. I put the recovery dvd to and followed the instructions and everything was goin' fine until about 60 to 70% of the way in which the process my laptop just turned itself off. Rather puzzled I lit it again and the process began early on but my laptop turns off even earlier that she had done before. Anyone know wot can I do to get my laptop working again - I hope that it is a minor problem that is fixable.

  Hello

  Well, it s a strange question. You format the whole HARD drive?
  I m not sure but maybe the HARD drive has a defect. You should try to recover the operating system on the second partition. If it doesn't works, I suppose that it s something wrong with the recovery DVD or HARD drive. In this case, you must contact the ASP.

• Equium L20 - cannot start Windows mode of

  Hello

  I was wondering if you can help me. I have an Equium L20 - 197, windows xp home edition. (Also technically challenged!  :)) When I booted my computer laptop first time today, I received this message-

  «We are sorry for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully upward...» »
  and he gave me a few methods of commissioning:
  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good Configuration know (your most recent settings that worked)
  and
  Start Windows normally

  I was able to start press start windows normally and start the computer very well. I turned off the computer OK, then it was restarted later without any problems. I then restored in a frame earlier that the system did not work well. Restore seemed to go OK but then my computer froze, then were shut down by pressing the power button.

  However, the laptop will now not reboot. Just as I think it starts it goes to the error message and none of the options will work to start the computer, and I am now stuck on an endless loop of the above message.

  I don't want to use the product recovery disc, that he will wipe away all of the hard drive and I have the info I need access to! I have a recovery CD product for a Fujitsu which has windows xp edition family sp 1 on him. Is it possible that I can use this to start my computer or is there something else I need to do? I thought after pressing F12 and if it is possible to use the other drive Fujitsu to launch boot my system but do not know if this is possible. I don't have an xp disk from toshiba installation disc, when I bought the computer. :(

  I learned by a guy from the computer to the phone that sounds as if I need a new hard drive but would like to explore other methods before you go this route.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me. Susi

  Hi SusiB_1,

  Unfortunately, if you can start Windows t in any of these modes you have only one option and that is reinstall Windows. I mean you should do? You can do anything in this case

  As you wrote wipes disc, the whole HARD disc Toshiba Recovery and that's right because it of needed to recover to factory settings. But normally you should have a backup of your data or not?
  If this isn't the case, you can access the data, if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. From another computer, you now have access to these data.

  By the way: for Toshiba recovery disc you n t need a product key. Everything is already done in the recovery image and no activation is necessary. :)

• Equium L20-197 to control the Volume

  HI peeps,

  I have a problem with my laptop Equium L20-197 of comrades. When it boots into windows, you get a warning message indicating the canoe access volume control. There is no volume control icon in the taskbar, and I also noticed that in the properties of the sound device and Audio, it says that there is no audio device.

  In the Manager devices, section controller audio, video, and game audio codec, audio drivers, legacy video capture, devices, legacy multimedia control devices and video codecs all say they work properly.

  I tried the fix windows help for no volume control which is to extend the control files of the disk volume to your Windows Setup incase windows, the file is damaged or missing.
  I tried a fresh install of windows.
  None of these helped with the same warning as the result every time.

  It is true that the audio chip on the motherboard is dead or is there maybe another solution to the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in adavance peeps :)

  You said you tried to reinstall fresh Windows operating system.
  So can ask now; have you used the Toshiba Recovery CD or did you use the original MS XP CD?

  I would have preferred using the Toshiba Recovery CD because all the necessary drivers, tools, and utilities are already preinstalled
  You can use the recovery CD to reset the phone to factory settings!
  The configuration should work without any serious problem!

  In my opinion, it's an easy way to set up the laptop. The whole process would take about 10 minutes.

• Equium L20 dead after flash BIOS

  I recently tried to update the BIOS on my Equium L20 (model PSL2Ze). I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS and ran the update of the bios windows that much happened and restarted the laptop and it's that it happened.

  Now, I don't even get the BIOS boot screen, indeed the screen didn't even come on when you press the power button.

  The green light as the fan that stays on the disk HARD runs briefly but other than that, nothing. I thought this would be fixable by burying a CD with the BIOS on but the instructions page to do this, it shows the extract the zip file you download in 3 folders 'Docs', 'disk 3.5' and 'CD', but the file download just extract in a folder and contains the version of windows and no records or Docs section.

  Is this an oversight, should I look elsewhere?

  Bq. {color: #333399} Option 2: update with CD-ROM-{color} \ {color: #333399} 1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder. \\ 2. Three subfolders will be generated in the temporary folder. "docs", "Update - 3.5' disc',"Update - CD - R or CD - RW"------3. How to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder \\ 4. Make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector. \\ 5. Turn off the laptop. \\ 6. Place the BIOS upgrade CD-ROM in the optical disc drive. \\ 7. Turn on the laptop with the F12 key. \\ 8. The BIOS boot menu appears. Select CD/DVD or CD-ROM symbol with the arrow keys. Press "enter". \\ 9. Notepad starts from the upgrade of BIOS ROM-10. A boot menu is displayed. Select the point of updating the BIOS by using the arrow keys. Press "enter". ------11. The BIOS update process begins. Do not turn off the laptop during the update. ------12. If the update is complete, follow the instructions on the screen. {color}

  So basically I'm puzzled. I put a blank CD in the drive and turned on the laptop and it turns and tries to read so I'm confident a flash CD works but I don't know how to create the CD rom flash.

  Anyone can offer me some advice please?

  Scoopz

  It's a shame!
  But unfortunately, there is nothing to see! Seems the motherboard is dead and replacement is necessary to make it work again!

  You know that the update of the BIOS is always risky and so do not do if the laptop runs correctly.

  The replacement of the motherboard is not very easy and a little trickier. If you have no experience you shouldn't it because you risk damaging the new purchased Council where the warranty is valid!
  So be careful.

  I found this page that shows how to disassemble the Satellite L25. This laptop is very similar to the Equium L20. So maybe it s a little help.

  [How to disassemble the Satellite L25 | http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaL25/satellite_L25_laptop_overclocking_1.htm]

  But once again; everything you make are at your own risk!

• Equium L20: What software do I need to put on speakers?

  I recently had to reinstall windows on my Equium L20, and every time I turn it on there is a lot of software, I need for example for speakers and stuff that isn't already on here. It seems stupid, but I inherited this computer from someone else and I don't have any CD, so I would really appreciate someone to tell me what software is needed, what CD it is on (if I can ask the person who has always if they have it), or if there is an additional way to get this software?

  The only disks I have are the recovery disc and the additional software that's WinDVD about that.

  Help!

  Common modules 2.)
