New installation OS on Equium A100

Hello world

I'm new to this forum, so I'll appreciate all the help I can get.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 02L, model PSAAQE-00P00KAV, with operating system Vista Home Premium 32 bit since July 2007. In October 2007, I performed an upgrade to Adobe Reader and things started to go wrong.
I did a reinstall of my recovery DVDs, and things are almost back to normal. The pc stopped recognizing my web cam and I had to buy a new, but above all it worked well. The mistake I made when you reinstall - I changed 2 partitions-2 physical hard drives into one. However, over time that my laptop has started to hurt behave again, especially after what he installed vista pack 2, including not having the audio drivers or see a multimedia disk of a sony-ericsson phone, I bought a few weeks ago.

So, I decided to reinstall once again, hoping to fix all the wrongs. I've done this procedure a couple of times, although I'm not a very technical person. I started the pc with the drive, I pressed F12 and select reboot from cd/dvd, but he didn't perform the clean installation, I expected, just something a repair, I think. The screen where you choose the partitions came not upward, and one where you put your Vista key and it took about 45 minutes to do all that.

So I tried again, hoping that this time it will work. Cannot do and after the third time he went into ms - back like screen, telling me that windows has not to load, a step which gave unfortunately I did not write down and said there is a corrupted core. I was very upset, as you can imagine, so I left it alone for a few hours, then I tried to restart the computer again. Fortunately, this time he started windows, but there are always pieces that does not meet the standards. So, I was hoping that maybe someone can give me some advice on how to do a clean install and repartition my HARD drive.

I tried to look on the Web site for support, but I can't find my model, there is only an A100-027, even when I tried the model No, it was not me with the auto detect software.

I know this is a very long story, but I hope that the details will help. Really looking forward for your help.

You mean on the Toshiba Recovery DVD or disk Microsoft Vista and the new installation?

Using the Toshiba recovery disc will not ask you to choose the partition, nor to put keys series! The image of Toshiba which is placed on the Toshiba Recovery disk is already enabled and the serial number; key is not required!

Generally, the use of the recovery disk should format the HARD drive and you could reinstall the whole OS again maybe there is something wrong with the HARD drive may be
I think this should be verified

  • Control buttons do not work after the new installation OS on Equium A100-147

    After Installing Win XP manually, I am facing problem for the multimedia keys on the left side of the laptop work.

    I am able to access the first button to launch Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player but still keys Play/Stop / > /.< not="" working="" with="" windows="" media="">

    I read in these forums that these keys work only with WinDVD or Windows Media Player with CD/DVD in. But I was able to use these keys with MP3 files in Windows Media Player.

    I don't want to use the restore CD.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Hello

    Of course you can use it with mp3 files. The files are probably listed in the WMP library, and you can use all of the buttons. There is nothing unusual.

    If you cannot use all those buttons in WMP when music CD is in the drive or you if the WMP library is open I recommend you remove TOSHIBA controls reboot the device and install again. Maybe it will work again.

  • Need new hard disk for Equium A100

    Hello

    I want to replace the 80 GB HDD of my A100 for something big.
    I'm guessing it's a SATA, I'll need?

    Nobody knows what is the greatest, my laptop can handle without any performance?
    Just to confirm that it is a satellite A100-027

    Also, I literally get out the old one, stick in the new and then load Windows XP on it? Is it really as simple as that :/?

    Hello

    Yes, the A100 Equium supports the SATA HDD controller and so you will need a SATA 2.5 HARD disk!

    > Also, I literally get out the old one, stick in the new and then load Windows XP on it? Is it really as simple as that :/?
    Yes, the upgrade of the HARD drive is not difficult.
    In most cases, you will need to remove the HDD from the laptop's HARD drive Bay, then switch the HARD drive bracket to the new HARD drive, then insert the new HARD disc again in Notepad.

    That s it.

  • Need a new fan of cooling for my old Equium A100-207

    Hi, I need a replacement fan for my Equium A100-207
    It started making a loud humming noise - it has only started to do today but has not let up since it was started.

    I took my laptop apart to see if I could sort by cleaning and fiddling with the fan, it has certainly had an effect - not as noisy or come all too often after shoveling a load of dust compacted, but noise is such that I can't really use it somewhere else than at home and only with headphones or high and loud music to muffle the noise can certainly go near a library with her!

    So I know how to replace ok, but no where can I buy a fan in the United Kingdom saw 2nd hand those on ebay, but don't touch them - could well be as bad! Another of those that I have seen that I can't be sure if they are the correct model, I put my laptop together again (typing this top).

    Ideally, I would like to purchase via Amazon that I have some good for here, but anywhere selling the good or one that will be enough is more than welcome. Or a way to sort the loud hum another that disable the fan altogether!

    Really appreciate all the help busy sending work so applications need to use my laptop for this and for job search.

    Thanks in advance.
    Mike.

    Hi Mike

    With laptops are quite complicated to find new hardware. Desktop you can find everywhere, but for laptops, it's quite complicated so you must try to find an online store where you can order parts of equipment for mobile units.

    As far as I know Amazon doesn't sell these parts.
    Best source for this is eBay. I bought several hardware components for my books there.

    By the way: do you have anything like thisneed?

  • Equium A100-027 - Question about the installation of Win 7:32-bit or 64-bit

    Hello

    I have an Equium A100-027
    I have just ordered an upgrade to 2 GB RAM and want to do a new install of WINDOWS 7 on Vista.

    Should I go for the 32-bit version or 64 - not sure if I need one over the other based on the processor?

    Thanks in advance

    David

    Hello

    Windows 7 32 bit supports max 3.2 GB of RAM
    In case you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB of RAM, I recommend to choose Windows 7 64-bit to be able to use all 4 GB of RAM

    The processor is an Intel Pentium T2060 that supports 32-bit but physical address Extensions is based on 32 bits, which allows x 86 processors to access more than 4 GB of physical memory

  • Equium A100 - do I need a new battery?

    I have an Equium A100 all of a sudden it has stopped working. I bought a new power adapter, but this does not solve it. If I remove the battery and plug it into the area I get a little flash to power led but while they come out, you think that I need a new battery?

    If the laptop works when it is plugged directly into the sector without the battery inserted?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Hi mate,

    I doubt that a new battery can solve this problem. I want to say normally connected to your laptop AC adapter, you should work correctly, abnormal or even without battery.

    In my opinion it s associated with another party. Maybe it s a problem of motherboard or something else.

    You should ask a technician for laptop help. They can help you to solve this problem and diagnose the reason for this.

  • Equium A100 - where to get a new card controller for Hitachi hard disk?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-338. The hard drive is now broken. The problem seems to be with on the hard drive controller card; the device gives no response when I try to plug the hard drive into the other computers with SATA interface. There is reason to believe that the drives are OK; they begin to turn when the power is on, and they do no harm to sounds.

    I really want to save the data on the hard drive.

    So my question is: does anyone know where to buy a new * HTS541610J9SA00 * (Hitachi 100 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB buffer SATA drive hard laptop 2.5 "), so that I can use the controller of this unit to get access to the data on my hard drive?

    Have you tried Google? Usually using Google, you will find everything you want.
    Just use HARD drive model name and I am sure that you will find an online store where you can buy new HARD drive.

    I cannot now connect to the internet (wireless option is not even showing as available in network connections) and next to the ethernet in devices, there is a yellow question mark and a mark of exclamtion beside him.

    I checked the drivers download page, but there is so much to choose from for download.

    > I cannot now connect to the internet (wireless option is not even showing as available in network connections) and next to the ethernet in devices, there is a yellow question mark and a mark of exclamtion beside him.
    You certainly have the WLan driver.

    You will find all Wlan drivers:

    Sorry but there are a number of models of Equium A100 and therefore it s not possible to tell which driver WLan you have without knowing the model number.

  • Equium A100 - unable to boot from the bootable disc

    Equium A100-549

    My son s partner has a 2 year old Toshiba which has become slow over time. I had done a backup of the system with office installed etc using Acronis. Anyway, decided to rid running Acronis and recorded image. The program runs normally, and he falls down to a denial of service as the ready to restore screen. It is then with the cursor flashing as usual and then it crashes, and doesn't allow you to access the image.

    I am that it can be altered, so reinstalled Acronis. Make an Acronis boot disk to run the image, and he does not take into account the disk boots directly to the normal hard drive (IDE 0) still no joy. Then I tried the restore of laptops disc. In the BIOS, I said peripheral CD as everything first and also the restore disc says place in the drive and turn off.

    While it starts up press F12, which brings a menu allowing you to boot from the CD drive. I did, but it doesn t appear to look at the CD and just load windows from the HARD drive. I removed the CD for system devices and rebooted. He found and added the new device to herself and asked to reset. Still no joy!

    Scanned with Norton, but still not good. Norton removal. The result is the same. Able to read the CD and also write to it as well. Diagnosis Toshibas ran on the unit and everything seems ok with it.

    Tried to make a bootable flash stick on floppy, but it is ignored, well specified the amorçage using other devices.
    Basically, it seems that I can t get it to watch prior CD onto the HARD drive.

    Flashing the BIOS would heal it? -Registry error causes this?

    Y at - it everywhere where I can talk to someone from Toshiba about this?

    Any info / help much appreciated

    Hello Nick

    Put the delivered device DVD recovery DVD and turn on the laptop. Press the C button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the DVD, and I hope that you will be able to use the DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

    If possible, test it with some other bootable CD installations. Please post the results.

  • Two issues of Vista on my Equium A100-027

    My HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new 1 and installed with Vista
    Thing is that Vista will not accept the key that is located on the underside of my Equium A100 - 027 (PSAAQE).

    Another thing is, I can't seem to get my memory card reader to work again.
    I downloaded all the drivers I could find on this site and install.
    However, the player still does not.

    Ideas please

    Thank you
    Andy

    OK, I managed to get the SD card reader works.
    The vista issue just now.
    Perhaps, I installed the correct version of Vista.

    Do I need an OEM version or something?

    Thank you
    Andy

    Hello Andy

    Nice to have you here.
    The button located on the bottom side belongs to the image of the installations of Vista that you have with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that can be used to activate each installed Vista OS. Unfortunately, it won't work.

    If you use Vista, to work well the OS and all hardware components, you need to install all the available drivers, tools and utilities. I checked the download page of Toshiba for your laptop model and you can see the Instructions document facilities. This document will help you set up everything correctly. It is important to install stuff all available according to this order of installations.

    Have you installed Flash Media Driver and Utilities of SD?

  • Toshiba Audio/concentrateur USB does not work on Equium A100

    I bought a Toshiba Audio/USB hub in March but only tried to install it today. Nervously, I followed the instructions. My Equium A100-related bits.

    The screen says "new hardware found". The Installation Wizard appeared, I clicked on cancel according to the instructions and inserted the installation disk. This produces a message to the effect that "met a hardware problem and the unit will not operate properly. The hub is now in its box.

    Is there anything reasonable I can do to remedy the situation? I have a Toshiba external connected to the laptop drive.

    Any notice received with gratitude by the novice.

    Hello

    You can try to download the LATEST drivers for this hub, because between March and are NOW many months and many updates have been released.

    Go here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Search for an update and if a newer version is available then take it and try again.

    Otherwise, go to the store where you bought it and try with the replaced hub.

  • Unstable Vista on Equium A100 - issue of scroll bars

    Vista is really unstable on this Equium A100... or I do something wrong?
    In contrast to the good old XP on my previous Satellite this folds operating system windows upward when I hit the scroll bars, simetimes minimizing, sometimes closing... And it is not better.

    It of Vista or have my settings to change?
    I certainly haven't changed anything since I got last month.

    Someone can advise me or do we wait for Bill Gates to have patches to fix?
    Even its just done on this window...

    Hello

    I put t know what s wrong with your Vista because Vista is working ok on my Satellite L30.
    Of course, it s makes my L30 very slowly, but I use two BONES; XP and Vista.
    I use XP for my usual work, because some programs special don t works under Vista.

    In any case, it would be very interesting to know if this strange behavior that happens on the new BONES recovered.
    You always write it happens sometimes. So I think that it of very difficult to reproduce this problem.

    I would recommend again the OS of Vista recovery CD.
    After installation, run the update to Vista. I noticed many available patches!

    Good luck

  • Possible replacement of Equium A100 - 147 HDD 250 GB?

    Hello

    I own an Equium A100-147 with 60 GB HARD drive. I have a recovery disc and have restored the laptop several times.

    I am considering an upgrade to 250 GB HARD drive.

    Couple of questions...

    The motherboard will host a 250 GB drive?

    If I replace the HARD drive recover CD will install a new copy of the fatory software you (inc windows xp MCE)?

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Yes, you can use a 250 GB. The laptop has a SATA interface and there is no limit as to IDE.

    If you use the recovery CD, you will get to factory settings. This means an XP installation with all the drivers and tools.
