Please do not be angry on me, but if this article is written by Microsoft, you should ask them. I presume that they have tested this method before they offered as an official document.

You're right about the installation of recovery. When you use the entire operating system will be removed and installed again.

  • Re: Satellite A100-410 cannot start Windows XP

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-410 and I can't start over (in safe mode ok). When starting, it shows the XP screen and after 10 seconds, the screen goes black. We have re-installed XP but no use. We checked again and assume that something is wrong with the video card drivers.

    So we checked for the last but no use. I can boot the laptop when the video card is uninstalled, so it takes to cause something weird.
    Or could it be that the card is broken?

    Hello.

    For sure your video card is ok, otherwise you may see white screen after switching on. The problem is in the driver problem. Have you downloaded the Toshiba site display driver?
    Maybe there is a conflict of driver. This site http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=7&evp=c14f9f3787877ee f9ef4b235b9146e96 stage
    Download and install. Then try to reinstall the display driver (if not work, do it in safe mode).

    If she's not always you help, do a search for a new iso Windows Xp but not Windows assembly (some guys like to change windows, deleting and adding some files, and then load it. Most of these modified versions are bad).

    That's all I can suggest now, sorry if does not work.

  • Satellite A100-599: cannot start service Toshiba Power Saver

    I have A100-599 with Vista pre-installed. As you know there is that Toshiba Power Saver comes with mobile vista power settings. Not always, but sometimes when I turn on the computer and start windows I get this message "service Toshiba Power Saver could not start.

    When I checked in Control Panel-> system-> Services if the service indeed off I saw he did start and run.

    Can someone tell me why this message sometimes? It is a software issue or maybe there is a problem with the hardware?

    Hello

    Maybe I m wrong but as I know Toshiba has not designed for Vista operating system energy saver!
    Vista uses a power options clean that looks like a little bit like the Toshiba power saver, but not energy from Toshiba!

    All laptop computers that are shipped with Vista have any preinstalled Toshiba eve!

  • Satellite A100-00N - cannot start the system

    There were 15 months and now when I push the power button to start the system, it will not work.

    There are 2 blue LEDs lighting but the computer won start t. tried to release the battery and configure power but not luck, with the battery also no luck. On Toshiba that works is the button located under the power button (globe photo with the left and right arrows and a photo of a music note in a display of television or something) when I press this button you hear system starts but after a second or 3-4.

    Also tried to remove the memory and hard drive but still no luck.
    Anyone?

    Sorry, but there must be a serious problem, and I don't think that there is nothing you can do. The idea to start the laptop with power running is OK, but if this doesn't work and you see nothing on the screen, it must be a serious problem.

    Of course you do not give any information that you did the last days with your laptop. Maybe you tried to update BIOS?

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA8) - Cannot play most of the games

    Hello

    my laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA8) cannot run most games like call of duty... I wonder if I can get a more powerful vga card and install it. Is this possible? And what I can get to the Middle East (Egypt).

    Other improvements I need to increase its performance?

    Hello

    Unfortunately the video card cannot be improved. Only you can do is upgrade RAM, optimize the preinstalled operating system and play games that need power of video not so much.

    Also try to play games with video settings below. Sorry, but that's all I can say about it.

  • Satellite A100 will not start

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-151, which does not start.

    A batery 11 times blink when I press the a/c power and nothing happens.
    Before that, I pressed too many keys f1 - f12 because it has stopped responding and a blue screen (memory error in the kernel) appeared.

    I tried:
    out/HDD, memory slot, battery and tried also reset with the AC button pressed without the battery.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

    Best regards

    As you know on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here, but after reading your ad, I think there must be a problem with electronic control gear. It is placed on the motherboard.

    Problem is that work around is quite limited and I can see what you have already tried all the logical steps to check if computer laptop will be able to start on a path.

    I'm afraid it is worth noting that you can do except to communicate with the service of Toshiba and ask help from m.

  • Satellite A100-991 - cannot boot from USB device

    My Satellite A100-991 (MS Windows XP MCE, SP3) does not start from a USB key or USB hard drive. The same USB devices are bootable if they are connected to a desktop computer or a laptop from other manufacturers. I put the USB as the first boot device and use an image "Bart PE" on my USB device.

    In fact, I have installed 2.10 Phoenix Bios version and I wonder if I could update the BIOS by using the 'sa105v21.exe' program and that this would resolve the startup problem.

    Hello

    Have you tested different USB keys? I think that your current USB key is not compatible
    Also test the USB to different USB ports. A port may be defective for the computer to start t with him.

    Theoretically, you can try upgrading the BIOS but don t forget s a bit more risky and it should be the last step.
    Prior to this, load default settings in the BIOS and check if you can boot from USB.

  • Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
    -----
    Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
    2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "repair your computer".
    If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

    Status: 0xc000000e

    Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8C - cannot install Power Saver

    Hello

    I reformatted my laptop toshiba Satellite A100 PSAA8C SK800C today and I was expecting to download all the drivers and install them.

    However, when I download the 'power saver' among the official website of toshiba, I was not able to install.
    Not only that I can not install it, nothing pop out when I click on the zip file CONFIGURATION icon.

    I have already installed all drivers for the laptop computer.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you
    ~.~

    Hi mate

    You said:
    > However, when I download the 'power saver' among the official website of toshiba, I was not able to install.

    First of all this laptop seems to belong to the Canadian series of Toshiba and if you want to use any tools Toshiba, then you will have to download it from the page of the Canadian driver Toshiba!

    In addition, you can choose the drivers and tools exactly for the PSAA8C series.
    In many cases, you will not be able to use the tools that are designed for other series!
    We must therefore be sure that power saver downloaded has been released for the series PSAA8C.

  • Satellite A100-590 - cannot install the display driver for Win7

    I installed Win7 on my Satellite A100-590 (PSAA9E-03Z00QGR) today. Everything works fine except for the display drivers.
    I downloaded the drivers win7/32 bit here: [here | http://at.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=AT&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 115970 ie] but when I try to install, extract the files and then nothing happens.

    Does anyone else have this problem or even better a solution? all other drivers will work on this laptop?

    Edit: the graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600

    Extract the files in a new folder created. Open it and use setup.exe.
    What happens when you start it manually using setup.exe?

    Alternatively, you can try to start the installation in the Bin folder.

  • Satellite A100 does not start - no action

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, which does nothing. He went flat when he was asleep, and a few minutes later I plugged it and when I press the power button / nothing happens. I do not show that the battery recharges in illuminating the charging light. The power button does not illuminate.

    If I hold the power button for a long period of time, a few lights.
    The caps lock light. Light under F10 and F11 and wireless internet light keeps coming back even if it is disabled.
    Battery light comes on a few times, but it is wider than on.

    My thoughts are that power don't is not computer (I think than lights that come on are those who come usually on after you press the power button) I'll try and the hand to get on another charger to try but snacks that don't work there at - it suggestions?

    DESPERATE isn't my computer!
    CJ15

    Hmm can be a motherboard problem.

    Try reinstalling the memory and battery and see how it goes. If not, send it to an ASP for a quote.

  • Satellite A100-979: cannot find Vista 64 bit driver for Toshiba buttons

    Hello!

    I have a problem to find a driver for the multimedia keys on my Satellite A100-979(6 easy keys). I have Windows Vista 64-bit and this computer laptop should be vista capable. Can someone help me? Maybe you have an idea to solve this problem.

    > this laptop should be able to vista

    Of course, it s Vista capable. You installed Vista on the Satellite A100-979 and it works.

    You ask drivers for the 64 bit version of Vista? Well, unfortunately, but there is nothing to see!
    It should be common that Toshiba does not all 64-bit drivers. or for XP for Vista. :(

  • Re: After upgrade on Satellite A100 BIOS cannot use keyboard more

    Need help... after bios upgrade for Toshiba Satellite A100 my keyboard error... now I can't use my keyboard...
    If I used the external keyboard, as there not enough power into the USB...
    Now, how come back to start bios version...

    Thank you or any medium

    Hello

    Enter the BIOS (by pressing F2 at startup) and try to check in the Bios if compatible keyboard, legacy usb support (something like that) is enabled. It should help.
    Otherwise, playing with the up/downgrade Bios (especially, demote) instead of keyboard problem, can cause the crash of the complete system with white screen.

  • Satellite A100-294: cannot change the built-in RAM module?

    The integrated RAM (512 MB) of my Satellite module problems (based on memtest86) and the machine was freezing all the time. It is under warranty, so I got to the store I bought.

    They told me that they send the machine to Toshiba AC because it will probably be a new mainboard to correct the problem, since the DIMM is permanently attached to the Board and cannot be changed as all the regular module DIMM.

    Is this true? Is the 512 MB of RAM the machine is supplied with, physically inseparable from the motherboard?

    Hello

    As much as I know doses Satellite A100-294 does not in charge of the internal memory!
    The unit simply uses the memory DDR2-533 modules that are removable.
    The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit and it s easy to reach.

    But maybe the head technicians would like to take a look at this motherboard and therefore the ASP had to send this book to the Toshiba headquarters
