  If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
  You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

  For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
  If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).

• Re: Using Recovery Disk with portable Satellite

  This laptop seems to have a virus that passes without being detected by Windows Defender and Avast.
  After about 10 minutes, everything slows down, and sometimes the screen turns off. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to make something happen.

  So I figure it of time to use the recovery discs that I did when I bought the computer - about a year ago. I thought that by putting the recovery drive #1 DVD in the drive and reboot it would start automatically (Windows Vista). But nothing happens. So, how can I reload the operating system from the recovery disk?

  Best Buy wants $200 to do, but I would do it myself. Help!

  Hello

  It is easy to do:

  Start your laptop and press the F12 key repeatedly Boot Menu will appear
  Put recovery media in the optical disc drive
  With the help of the arrows (UP/DOWN) select the CD-ROM drive, and then press ENTER
  Installation will start and please just follow the menu on the screen.

  Please let us know if everything was OK.

• Recovery disk does not work for Satellite A100-197

  I'm working on an A100-197, which would not boot into normal Windows, but was able to start in safe mode.
  I used MSConfig to disable all startup and other services. Not good.
  I used the system restore. Not good.
  I have scanned for viruses, rootkits, etc. None found. Not good.
  I copied data to another hard drive in SafeMode with network and inserted the recovery DVDs.
  Through unpacking and got message saying to remove DVD - did this and system seems to freeze.
  Click the exit button and it restarts, but Windows froze (the movement stopped moving blobs). Tried safe mode
  but got a message saying that the installation of the system has not finished.
  Tried the recovery again, but this time I left the unpacking screen 100% of the overnight to see if
  He has nothing. There can be no. Click on exit and got the same as above.
  HDD formatted in partition magic and I tried again. Not good.
  Created 5 GB FAT32 partition and DVD files copied to the FAT32 partition. Tried to run the decompression program
  back. He refused to run in DOS mode.
  I think that connects the hard drive on another machine and RecoUnpack.exe a work PC running to
  unzip the files on the laptop HARD drive image, but this is crazy - the recovery disk is supposed to retrieve the
  System. What else can I try?

  I would say that you have some serious hardware malfunction. Have you ever tried to check the RAM and the processor?
  In your case, I would try to run the UBCD4Win (www.ubcd4win.com) and superPI allows to see if the RAM is faulty.

  It could also be another component such as the motherboard or something on the motherboard (graphics, sound, some capacitors)

  It s just a suggestion, but you could really give my hint a chance. ;)
  I would also try another HARD drive in this machine, maybe the controller from your old HARD drive disappeared...

  Welcome and appreciate all comments

• Recovery disk not recognize in my Satellite M70

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite M70. Recently, I installed Ubuntu and in the process of formatting my drive hard completely ended.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Are you sure you are using the right recovery disk?

  Have you changed some parts in the laptop IE. motherboard?
  Usually the DMI contains some details about the cell phone as number series, model, etc.
  If the motherboard has been changed and the DMI has not been updated, then you could get this show.
  In this case, the DMI must be updated and this can be done by an ASP.

• Troubleshooting with wireless - got a Satellite A200

  Well if someone could help me somehow, I'd greatly appreciate it.

  I have a Satellite A200 started just now sent me problems with the wireless connection. I'm not that great with computers but I know how to follow instructions and the basics quite well. I changed my router recently, its new with Netgear and that now I had problem with the wireless connection. Main computer works fine, USB wi - fi Flash drive works fine on another computer. Only the problem with my Toshiba. It identifies my address with full signal. I put the network key, it starts the connection, it starts acquiring network address and it fails.

  Then it starts to get into this loop, trying and failing. I went into network connections, try to fix it. He begins to repair and it does not work too.

  Am I missing something? I don't know where to start. I tried everything that was suggested under Configfree. But I still can't be the source of the problem.
  Any ideas? Thank you, in advance.

  > I tried to remove the security password and I am able to connect but as soon as I put it on, it's back to the same model?

  In my view, the case is clear, it seems that the WiFi encryption or password is wrong. If the router uses only 802.11 G then you must assign the card settings Wlan 802.11 G too!
  In addition, you must use exactly the same type of encryption (WPE, WPA, WPA2, etc.) for the router and wireless network card!

  PS: Don't forget that WLan driver is up to date...
  Here you can find the latest WLan Atheros, Intel and Realtek WLan drivers

• Recovery disk does not work on Satellite Pro P10-304

  A few days ago my Satellite P10-304 is not start, so I used recovery CD and got the machine works like new.
  Yesterday it wouldn't boot.
  Some thing on an ethernet cable unplugged error message, so I tried recovery CD because there is no data to lose.
  It won't work, to come up with an error message "GDISK (E) no such fixed disk - 1" then "error number 11030, invalid destination drive.

  Can anyone help me to get it booted/recovered please?
  I'm not fussed on something special for this old laptop, just a second computer for the kids to do their homework on.

  Hmm. sounds like a HARD drive failure
  Have you checked if the HARD drive has been recognized in the BIOS?

  > Something on an Ethernet cable unplugged error message.
  I guess you get an error PXE - E61 starting at startup.
  This message appears if the laptop tries to boot from LAN.

  This could happen if there are no other sources of boot as HARD drive, etc.

• Recovery disk will not start on Satellite 1110

  I try to use the recovery on a Satellite 1110 CD. I want to just install fresh Windows. The necessary files are supposed to be on the Toshiba recovery CD that accompanies it.

  So I did what the brochure says, and booted up the laptop to the top with the correct CD in the drive, while pressing 'C '. The notebook ignored the CD ROM and loaded Windows as usual. I repeated three times, each time that the CD ROM whirs a bit but will not start and Windows loads as usual. I have replaced 'C' for F12, chose the CD ROM drive in the list and repeat the process several times. Yet once it wouldn't boot from the CD-ROM.

  I looked at the content of the CD ROM A single MB 447. File of the GHS. The file icon is that generic type "Windows does not know what program this icon is intended to" deals.

  Google believes it is a ghost file and must the ghost installed to run it. This bitch never came with Ghost.

  Anyone here knows a remedy to this problem?

  (NB - I tried clean Windows system restore option, but it just brings back me to September this year. Theres no option that was more early in life for portable computers)

  I am in the United Kingdom, and is a UK machine if that makes a difference.

  Hello Micha

  Is this your ODD works properly with the operating system?

  I put really know what exactly is happening here, but please make sure that you start with recovery CD number 1/2 2/2. The installation of recovery, you can just start with the first recovery CD. Also try please set CD-ROM as firs boot device in the BIOS.

• Computer needs a new recovery disk, but none is available.

  Our computer (desktop Compaq Presario SR2010NX PC) was recently taken to Best Buy to get fixed because the computer does not illuminate. They told us that he had to use the recovery for Windows Xp home edition disk to repair the computer. We have not and we cannot find them online. However, I have a new copy of Windows 7 and a recovery for Windows XP to another computer disc. I was wondering if I'm unable to find a recovery for this specific pc disk could I just use the Windows 7 disc or a disc of recovery for another computer.

  According to specifications, your computer will only support Windows 7 32-bit and most likely will not support Windows 7 64-bit at all. To fully support Windows 7 32-bit will require some hardware upgrades. Using another computer recovery discs is also in contrast to work. Recovery discs again to check the motherboard of the computer and hard drive to match the information before proceeding with the recovery of the computer.

  You can buy recovery discs for your computer from ComputerSurgeons.com for about $27

• TouchPad does not scroll with Win 7 on Satellite A200 PSAE3E

  Hello

  I have a little problem with the touchpad after update my OS for Win7 (x 86 32-bit).
  Scrolling with the latest drivers for Win7 from Toshiba and Synaptics does not work well.

  14.0.3.0 driver version (2009-08-27) Toshiba A200 PSAE3E

  Does anyone have a solution?

  Best regards

  Hello

  > scroll with the latest drivers for Win7 from Toshiba and Synaptics does not work well.
  Is this means that the scroll function is available after the installation of Win 7?

  UM, to me, looks like you need configure the touchpad function.
  You can do this in Control Panel-> mouse-> device settings
  There should be an additional tab containing the options of touchpad

  Here, you could change and increase the contact surface is needed for scrolling and similar you could increase the sensitivity too

  Then update the webcam software and clean the operating system using the CCleaner.

• Blank white screen with sound transmitting on Satellite A200

  I leave my laptop on with music background and suddenly, when I wake up in the morning, the screen was white with flashing as sensation. There was a sound emitting and my laptop could not move until I have cut all power. Could someone suggest something for me please. My laptop is the new A200

  I leave my laptop on with music background and suddenly, when I wake up in the morning, the screen was white with flashing as sensation
  This could be a hardware problem. Probably the graphics card overheating, or another part of the motherboard. I think that this part should be checked by a qualified technician.

  Good luck

• Problem with driver sound on Satellite A200 under Win XP SP3

  Hi guys

  I recently bought a Satellite A 200 PSAE7. I had downgraded it to Win XP.

  Everything worked perfectly until last night. I restarted the laptop and I got no sound. I tried to reinstall the Realtek audio drivers, he succeeds, ask for a restart, but the sound is still not working. I tried everything, removing the drivers via Add/Remove programs and Device Manager and then put it back. When I restart it tells me 'PCI device detected"after I installed the audio drivers. But the sound does not work.

  Any advice?

  The problem is that you have not installed the MS patches that are really essential.
  I'm talking about the * patch KB888111, KB835221, and *.

  You must remove first the audio driver from the system.
  Then you must install two corrections.
  After restarting again, reinstall the audio driver that is on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  Best regards and good luck
