• System recovery satellite M50 after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  The drive of my laptop Satellite M50 becomes rather clicky and looks like it's on its way. Replacing, it will not present any problems, but I will replace it with a drive of at least double the capacity of origin.

  At one point, I had installed a Linux system and when I tried to reinstall my Windows system on a partition that is smaller than the entire recovery cd disk threw a wobbly and refused to proceed as it did not recognize the hardware profile of my portable computer, that the drive was too small.

  I expect the same thing to be true once I upgraded the HARD drive.

  How can I avoid this problem?

  Thanks in advance

  I would like to clone the old drive if it is an option.

• Satellite M50-176: the outside temperature to warm up

  Hello

  I have buyed 2 months ago a m50-176 new, but since then, like a month, I realize that become too hot during normal use temperature as read emails, download a file from the internet and chat through a... IM from a video game that the computer is really really too hot , expecially in the bottom, hopefully where the processor...

  I found this problem on windows and linux systems, only allowing the scaling of the cpu to 20-30%, the temperature became acceptable, but it is impossible that I must still work towards the bottom of the clock.

  Excuse me for my bad English, but please if you can tell me if this model has generally become too hot or maybe I have some problem

  Thank you!

  Hi Gabriele,

  Laptops more modern become very hot especially adjacent discs on the heatsink and CPU in the vicinity of the HARD drive and optical. This is due to the increasing amount of processing power, which is being locked in a small space.

  I think that Toshiba now put a sticker on the bottom of their notebooks of warning concerning the possibility to make them warm and possibly burn the user if they are not correctly positioned.

  It is very important that you keep the free admission air grids of any obstructions and also ensure there is no build-up of dust and debris in the cooling system. (you will see this discussed many times in these forums.)

  Laptop Toshiba computers include a thermal safety device that will turn off the laptop where it is too hot.

  Kind regards

• Question on recovery Satellite A300

  My laptop needs restoration because it doesn't let me go on windows or whatever it is, that I have ready disks. But this model has two hard disks built and all the stuff I want to keep are stored on the second hard drive, if I reinstall windows will be on the second hard drive to be deleted as well?

  Im not bothered what is on the main hard drive, but want everything on the second hard drive.

  If this is not deleted everything what in it if I take the second hard drive then reinstall windows then plug in what would happen then?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think the first HARD drive would be to format this means only the HARD drive where windows operating system is installed could be formatted and all partitions would be deleted.

• Toshiba-CD recovery deleted all partitions on satellite M50 181

  Hello

  After that I discovered that other images than the OEM Windows XP Image do not have driver for my laptop satellite M50 181 support, I decided to install the old Version-OEM.
  I had also installed a linux ubuntu, grub as boot loader.
  After you insert the recovery cd, there is no questioning what I wanted to do. The recovery process begins automatically delete all partitions and creating a large NTFS Partiotion ITERATE OVER ALL CONNECTED DEVICES (ipod, 500 GB backup drive).

  WHY DEVIL IS IT POSSIBLE? WHAT CAN I DO?
  Kind regards

  After booting from the recovery CD, you should get 2 options;
  -Standard mode
  -Expert mode

  Using the Standard mode, the whole HARD disk will be formatted. Also al partitions will be erased.

  In expert mode, you may have chosen was the XP must be installed.

  I put t know what you did, but I presume that you have chosen the first method satandard

• How can satellite M50 - what is on the disk recovery - I run

  Hi, people, I have a Satellite M50 and a recovery disk, which is on the recovery disk? Y at - it windows Xp on it? Y at - it all the tools and utilities on it?, can I use it to reformat? How can I run?

  Thanks if you can answer

  On the Toshiba Recovery CD, you will find a picture of Toshiba!
  The image contains a Windows operating system, Toshiba drivers, tools, utilities, and additional programs like WinDVD, for example.
  Using the Toshiba Recovery CD is the easiest way to install the OS on the laptop and set the notebook to factory settings

  As said above the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive. It would also be possible to erase the partitions! So be careful!

  If you want to install the operating system or run the recovery CD, you put it in the drive and the start of the player. The pressing the C button allows you to start from the CD/DVD drive

• How to get the disc of recovery for Satellite M50 161

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite M50 161 4 years ago and its been great until recently when he developed serious problems.
  I need a recovery disc or the disc of the original for XP software but none of this was supplied with it.

  How can I get these disks now?

  > I need a recovery disc or the disc of the original for XP software but none of this has been provided with it.
  I'm in doubt about it. According to the specifications of the laptop Satellite M50 161 comes with brackets to follow:
  -Recovery media (CD or DVD)
  -Express Media Player
  -Additional software CD
  -Microsoft Works Suite

  All the old models of laptops come with recovery CD. I have some old Satellite m70 and still have original valuation facilities Toshiba DVD.

  Anyway, you can try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. To be honest I don't think you will get for this older model laptop. For the installation of the OS, you can also use Microsoft installations CD. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

• Access to Boot to install Satellite M50-A-110 problem

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite M50-A-110 and wanted to install Win 7.

  Problem is that I have difficulties to access the bios press F2, esc, or DELETE...

  It worked (twice) if I could change boot USB (with a bootable USB key that I used on other computers to install win 7), still does not begin to earn 8...

  So I formatted the hard drive to get rid of all the partitions and win 8.

  Replaced the hard drive, insert the USB and now I have this message:

  "Reboot and select proper boot device."
  or Insert boot media in selected boot and press device any key..."

  So my questions are:

  -Are known issues with the m50-a-110, in the start menu? and what is the key / key combination, that I push?
  -This would be installing win 7 can only be achieved with a USB 3.0? (2 slots USB 3.0 and USB 2.0)

  Thank you for your help in advance and good luck,

  Hello and thanks for the comments. On a site I m happy to know that you have solved your problem, but on the other hand, it is not the best solution.

  Have you really taken apart your laptop to access the CMOS battery? I mean, after this action, your warranty is no longer valid.

  On this forum you can find numerous threads about the same question, where is explained what needs to be done about it and what steps are required to install Win7 on new models of laptops with preinstalled Win8 / Win8.1.

  What needs to be done first is the full stop - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
  After doing this, it is possible to enter the BIOS settings and change the secure boot settings.

  I just hope that you have created a recovery (DVD or USB) media until you have formatted your HARD drive.

  In any case, good luck with your machine.

• Satellite M60-176: cannot install the graphics driver

  Greetings,
  I'm trying to reinstall the original driver from Toshiba site
  on a satellite M60-176 disabled ATI X 700 256 MB dedicated

  version is:
  Driver VGA (ATI M24C/M26P)
  V8.121.050322a - 021880C
  Driver VGA (ATI M24C/M26P)

  The error message occurs when I install the software: Setup copy dll, install some components and stop at the installation of the driver slide with message (translation from the french) "Setup was unable to complete the installation, try to configure your graphics card with vga standard it before running the Setup program.

  When I try to detect the card with control panel and chose the file CX_21880.inf in 2KXP_INF, the process copy the dll, but in the end complains that "a problem in installing Radeon X 700' and then the error is"ACCESS DENIED"

  I tried to follow the sequence as:
  uninstall all remove them, go in safe mode, video card (I can't put a good VGA card)

  I ' v tried a driver (Driver Cleaner pro) removal tool then restart XP and then try to reinstall the driver of toshiba original ATI: same problem

  TOSHIBA support put me to BIOS 1.60 level: same problem

  I cannot conclude that this original toshiba video driver cannot be installed on a toshiba...

  Actually I'm under standard with vga display 1152 x 864 32 bit colors with slow rendering

  I'm really ask for help, because I do not know how...
  Kind regards

  Hello

  What happens if you install the operating system from the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  This CD also contains the ATI graphics driver.
  How about installation of the graphics driver on the site omegadrivers.net?

  But I must say that it is very strange question. The driver from the Toshiba site should work.

• Satellite M50: Windows did not start because of a corrupted system file

  Hi all.

  I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M50. When you turn on the laptop, a message appears: "Windows did not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\config\system»

  I am aware of my product recovery CD-Rom and have inserted - however, I don't want to reformat my HARD drive as I have files I back (foolishly) not upward.

  Is there another method to repair the corrupted file without having to wipe all files on the HARD drive? (I don't have an XP CD - the operating system is loaded OEM when the laptop was purchased)

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Hmm, using the repair console could be a good way to copy or replace the damaged or missing files on the HARD drive.
  BUT you need to start the console of Windows XP CD of original Startup Repair.
  Without this CD, you will not be able to repair the operating system. The Toshiba Recovery CD contains only image files and does not start the repair console.

  Now the question is; How to back up data.
  You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the PC second via the external USB HARD disk controller.
  Then you should be able to copy important files on the second computer.
  After backup files you can start the installation from the recovery CD.

  Good luck

• Satellite L100-176: does anyone have driver problems?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L100-176 I bought 3 months ago. I started to have small but really annoying problems almost immediately and on the 3rd week got an error major ntfs.sys.

  Finally, I fixed all by myself (after spending a few days read posts on the series of forums) using software free package - How ironic. I have run different tests on the RAM and HDD - problem it seemed unlikely. I used my TOSHIBA recovery CD to reset everything, but so far I still continues to have various problems.

  The system restarts occasionally, some OS WinXP fuctions and services are not accessible. The most serious cause of things (according to MS error reports) is driver malfunctions.

  So, my question is: is this sound familiar to anyone? Are there serious problems known with the Toshiba drivers, I need to know?

  Thank in advance for back-up!

  Hello

  And factions of WinXP and services that are not available?

  After that using your laptop recovery DVD will once again have the factory settings and all should be on the first day and after the first start.

• Satellite M50-130 with keyboard problem

  When my Satellite M50 starts, typing in the password box is not a problem, the sound when I reach this point and try to type in word or in internet explore or play a game.
  The same key cannot be presses twice in a row. For example, to type WWW I must press W, wait a second, then press W again and so on, otherwise it only type 1 W.

  The same thing with all the keys and I can not play with the arrow keys as you can not, for example, not side twice in a game as I have the same m key in quick succession.

  Any ideas? Cheers, Jim

  Hello Jim

  My colleague from work the same As model of mobile and he uses it to Web design and type a few codes to our database. From time to time, I'm sitting near his office and several times I looked at what he do exactly. Believe me that there are no such problems.

  It is important to say that his book is preinstalled with recovery image and slightly modified for our enterprise security needs.

  Can you please tell us since when you noticed this problem with keyboard? Are you also using recovery image and have you ever tried to fix this somehow? Have you noticed any other strange questions about your Satellite phone as a disk busy, high utilization of the processor or something similar?

• Satellite M50 - how to make scratches disappear from the silver surface

  Hey

  so the other week I bought a Toshiba Satellite M50 and I love her!
  I'm looking to snap the case for weeks because I know myself and I was sure that I would eventually ruin the outer shell, but I can't find anywhere.

  So last night I walk to the top of the stairs and my mother screaming something that makes me jump and I was wearing my phone with the charger on top and to prevent it from falling I really crack down fort and one of the pins on the top of the silver surface striped card.
  I'm so gutted!

  So my question is that no one knows what either which can make the scratch disappear or at least fade?

  I was thinking solvent, but don't want to try anything where it makes it worse.
  know that it's kind of a stupid question, but it's really important to me!
  Thank you!

  P.S. I realized that my key U is really steep... any ideas on how I can get this back to normal?

  In my opinion there is not an effective method that you can use to remove or fade those stripes.
  The surface is damaged and, unfortunately, it will still be visible.

  I also think that you should not use dissolving because of the possible chemicals that can damage the surface even more.

  Is it deep enough or just scratches superficially?

• Satellite M50-A110 - how and where activate AV sucerity 2013

  Nice day

  Well, I have a weird problem. We bought Toshiba Satellite M50, I chose this model because the local computer store has a couple of good software.

  I have a particular problem, laptop is purchased on 01.07.2014. and during the month last laptop was in use (from the stuff of sensor overheating). Guys solved the problem after almost 2 weeks. Too bad.

  Particular myresponsibility is the registration of Mcafee Antivirus more 2013.*
  I have a license key, Toshiba gave me a year license with this laptop.

  On this laptop, I have the LiveSafe-Internet Security trial. (remaning in the trial of eight days, it was preinstalled) I want to downgrade this product and use of Mcafee Antivirus plus 2013 because I have one year license of Toshiba.
  Windows OS 8.1.

  Please help me with advice, resources or link. In our service I was told to use this license key on Mcaffe Antivirus plus 2014, but it does not work.

  Thank you!

  This offer is not available in my country so I can't say with certainty how it works, but in General, recovery image contains trial version of an antivirus application preinstalled.
  If you don't want to use it just out of the system.

  What you can do is contact McAffe support and ask for help. You can also try is to download Mcafee Antivirus plus 2013 and check all the settings. I think there must be option for activation of the product.

  Have you already checked this option?
