• Satellite A205-S5000 - no recovery disk

  Be aware that my Toshiba Satellite A205-S5000 laptop was purchased at Walmart-Caroline N. July 2008 and had no recovery disc in the package and not info on computer on how to make a. It was cheap ($400) and probably made just for Walmmart. As it is, I have nothing to use to recover if something goes wrong. Any Suggestions? Feel free to send me an email to [email protected]. Thank you, Dana

  Have you checked the user manual which was if all goes well preinstalled on your laptop?
  The fact is that some models are equipped with HARD drive recovery and that it was not shipped with a recovery DVD.

  In this case, you will need to create this disc using the Toshiba software preinstalled.

  I would recommend consulting the user manual; You can find the full description here.

  Good bye

• Satellite L755D-10U - I want to restore to out of box state

  Afternoon, I have a Satellite L755D-10U and want to restore the factory settings.
  I tried to create a recovery disk using the recovery disk creator but I got two errors.

  One is in "all programs, toshiba, then recovery disc creator" and shows an error of missing shortcut of TRMCLcher.exe.

  The other by the bias of my taskbar and said "No HDD Recovery Area". The recovery partition is still in my D: to 12.5 GB in size.

  I have not yet tried the power down and zero route again as I would like to know if restoring to factory settings will erase all data on my Partition D. I got all my University stuff on atm here and even if I can save to another drive also I want to know if it will erase the data on the disks.

  Cheers in advance for any help

  > One is in "all programs, toshiba, then recovery disc creator" and evokes a mistake of shortcut missing TRMCLcher.exe.

  TRMCLcher.exe means that Toshiba Recovery Media Creator Launcher and this exe file should begin the process of recovery, but it doesn t.

  Why? Who probably knows the system has been confusing upward or something has changed on the HARD disk partition.

  The same pattern may be why no. HDD recovery area message.

  Always is it that there are two options to recover the notebook:
  (1) recovery disc (not possible because you n t have a)
  (2) HARD drive recovery option (check if this is possible: turn on the device, press F8-> fix my computer-> HDD recovery)

  If the two possible isn t, you need to recovery disk to perform the recovery procedure.

• Who has a problem with the keyboard on the Satellite A205-S5000?

  My keyboard sometimes, when I'm writing but at some point don t want to write and after some time writing again.
  Help with this Holster

  Perhaps the HARD drive is busy with various operations as a background scan or something similar? In such a situation, it can happen that the symbols on the screen appears slower and offset of the activity.

  Is a busy HARD disk when this happens?

• Satellite P10-804 - recover to out of box (Windows XP Home Edition)

  Hi friends, this computer has been pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition. Several years ago, I installed Windows XP Professional. Well I just did a complete installation, return to the publishing house.

  One of the first things I download WinZip, as I would expect a lot of updates, installation of WinZip has failed because he said some parts of missing words or not compatible Windows for this purpose. I have all the original disks, but don't know what to update first, although I am trying to install Service Pack 2, no idea what to do?

  Thank you, colin

  PS: I did it because it was very slow, could take 15 minutes before I could use it and now it takes 45 seconds to load.

  Hey,.

  To be honest, it's a bit confusing

  If you want to restore your laptop to factory settings you must boot from the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a boot disk and you have to follow the instructions on the screen to restore the factory settings.

  Toshiba Recovery disk erase the whole HARD drive and then unpacking settings will be restored with all the drivers and tools for your laptop is ready for use after the Toshiba recovery disc.

  It works for you?

• Satellite A205 - Vista backup center and restoration with a WiFi hard drive

  I use Vista Ultimate Center of backup and restore to back up hard drive of my laptop Satellite A205 series on a wireless external hard drive. The external hard drive (which is formatted in NTFS) is directly attached (via USB) to my wireless router Belkin low, instead of being connected directly on my laptop.

  I know that this WiFi network hard drive is recognized by my laptop series Satellite A205, because it appears as "Drive Z:" when I click on 'My Computer'... but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my laptop Satellite A205 only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with built-in WiFi) network.

  By contrast, the version of the backup center and restaurant located on my computer to my lists one office (also Vista), drives on the computer at first - but it includes a "more:"hyperlink by which someone with rights Admin can click and access the network drives. "

  This "more:"hyperlink does not appear on the version of the backup center and restore on my laptop Toshiba Satellite 205. "

  I can't even someone at Microsoft to talk to me without first
  $ 69.95 for the 'privilege '.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi irsharp23,

  > but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my Satellite A205 laptop only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with WiFi built-in) network.
  Laughing out loud
  I think that's not a junk Toshiba. Center backup and restore is designed by Microsoft and Toshiba has nothing to do with it. So I think you need to get in touch with the guys at Microsoft to ask for a solution, or there may be an update for this tool.
  Did you check that?

  Moreover, why n t connect the external DRIVE directly to your laptop drive? I don't see a reason to connect such a disc HARD backup over the network, because this image of backup can be used only on your laptop.

  Alternative, I can recommend Acronis True Image to record images of backup on the network or if you use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize your files between laptops and network. ;)

• Need to file for "TOHSIBA Recovery Disc Creator" on Satellite A205-s5825

  Hello

  I've got Satellite A205-s5825
  Well, I'm 4,000 km of distance from my Toshiba Recovery DVD, comes with the box.
  No problem - I can use the recovery disk creator... so I thought.

  The laptop is less than a week in use, no partitions are changed, etc.
  Well, page 59 of my guide tells me to 0 (zero) button while turning on the machine to start in the partition recovery... No, this won't work. I tried many different variations.

  And 60 page told me to use the 'Office' for the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator icon.
  No, there is no icon. It is the same graph icon here, but it is for "Toshiba Software Updates" and not "Recovery Disc Creator"

  Toshiba Assist (executable program)... No, not help for this.
  I looked in every path of C: trying to find out what executable mystery... and also any exploration of menu start... nothing.

  I need Windows executable for "Recovery Disc Creator". (need name of file as trdc.exe or something else)
  Anyone know it?

  Thank you

  (P.S. Shell repair when pressing F8 and asking "repair my computer" also does not provide the option to create recovery discs.
  It assumes that you have already created those when in the shell.)

  Hello

  It seems that it is not a European model possibly the American TV series so I put t know exactly how it works in the portable American TV series but by pressing the F8 key, and then choosing the option fix my computer would start the HDD recovery procedure.
  It would be the same as restoring from Recovery CD or DVD.

  The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator must be also installed somewhere on the HARD drive.
  I think you should check the folder programs and Toshiba.

  Best regards

• Satellite A205-S4617 - where can I download the XP drivers?

  Hi all.

  I have a 2 years Satellite a205-S4617 I want to install XP on. Before wiping Vista if I'm trying to locate and download all the drivers, I need because I got caught out due to lack of drivers for laptop before.

  Problem is that Toshiba seems to have forgotten that they have never done the A205 model. He has not mentioned anywhere on the site or listed in the drop-down lists for current laptops or abandoned.

  Anyone know why this is and where I can find the exact drivers I need? I tried a few software solutions, and Yes, they see my drivers and tell me that some could do with updating but then request payment before you tell me where to get them.
  It's weird the way Toshiba does not even recognize my serial number is.

  Hi skeeta,.

  Everything for your laptop can be downloaded here:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com > download

  I checked the page and there's not all the XP drivers, it seems that you have to collect the rest of them on Web sites external

  An alternative, you can try some European Satellite A200 XP drivers. As far as I know, these models are similar:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A205-S5804 does not start.

  My computer does not start Satellite A205-S5804.
  It does not work in safe mode, and it will not work with the system restore.

  It stays black with a cursor, if anything.

  How to on my computer?

  Hello

  You have a cursor blinking in the upper left corner?
  In this case, you should check the disk HARD has been recognized by the BIOS.

  If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then I would recommend checking the HARD drive using s drive fitness test:

  To run the test of fitness of s by car, you must download the appropriate creator or image and create a support of auto-start.

• Satellite A205 - commissioning and removal/insertion of batteries

  My Satellite A205-S4607 will be two years old in May 2009 (bought from a retailer).

  Have been reasonably satisfied with the equipment, but in the few months several times I had to start questions. But the solution so far, fortunately, turns out to be simple. I just remove and reinsert the battery and boot performs as usual. What is a warning of something sign? This has happened about three times over a period of 4 months or more. It just happened again today. Is this normal?
  I take with me more that I used for what could be a contributing factor with the movement, but do not see why it would work loose.
  After all, laptops have been designed to move.

  Thanks in advance for everyone's going in!

  Hmm, this should not be a common behavior of mobile. I want to say that I've never noticed this problem on one of my laptops Satellite

  Just a question; Update you the BIOS to the latest?

  You should do this! I noticed that new BIOS version come out from time to time, and if this strange question appears then you should check if a BIOS update would improve the functionality of the laptop.

• Satellite A205-S5831: TouchPad tapping cannot be disabled - SOLUTION

  There are several other online on the same forums, and I felt Toshiba was the best place to post the solution to the problem.

  Description of the problem: cannot turn off the tap of the mouse to click the feature of Vista. Synaptics driver has the opportunity to turn the feature on, and outside, but it is grayed out.

  Other forums suggested to uninstall and then reinstall the Synaptics driver. Get the latest Toshiba, or get the latest driver from Synaptics driver but none of this has worked for me. However, it claimed the driver Synaptics of Synaptics.com worked for him or her.

  Here is my solution on 2 forums on geekstogo.com (what kind of name is that anyway?):

  I had exactly the same problem and I feel obligated to post the solution I found that it would have saved me hours and maybe he will save the next person hours. I hope that everyone uses the same courtesy so forums like these are useful.

  I have a solution, but first let me vent. This problem has been quite the problem more frustrating and stupid. Why anyone who knows hit want type to click? It's such a frustrating feature. In addition, why would anyone software development does not give the user the ability to disable? Synaptics touchpad old drivers for XP are 100 times better. I don't understand the lack of functionality in the new.

  I checked on Toshiba.com for touchpad drivers for my satellite A205-S5831 and noticed that there is a driver Alps. I have downloaded this driver, uninstalled the driver Synaptics (uninstalled option programs and Featuers in the control panel) and installed the driver Alps. The Alps driver includes many options over the Synaptics driver does not work, including turning off the tap to click.

  I hope that this solution works for others.

  Info thank you for sharing this with us.

  I've also noticed that Toshiba touchpad requires two different drivers. There is Synaptics driver and the other is driver Alps.

  You need two drivers to get the full touchpad control.

• How to restore my computer toshiba laptop out-of-box state?

  A few days ago I received a notification window report a problem with my operating system (although it's practically new) in my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB 320 HD. After not being able to open ALL the files in my office (ex: icon workstation), task bar (the ex icon) or even start menu (e.g. Control Panel), I decided to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration, when the problem was not present. At the end of the restore process, I received an error message. I restarted my laptop again and the problem continues (not being able to open the files, applications, or programs). I then decided to restore my laptop with the option of deleting is not my current data. Out of 47 process had to be done, my set up spun without progressing to the #3 / 47 (display of SMA - I think). Although I was warned not to disrrupt the process, I forced my laptop turned off after 30 minutes.

  Now, when I try to boot my laptop, I get a message that my computer is preparing for first use; When I get to the 'Welcome' screen, my session runs without procedure. After forcing my laptop off and restart my computer several times, I left my laptop computer spinning during the night and when I woke up, I could choose, "Administrator" or "guest user". When I click on "Administrator", a screen will appear indicating that I don't have permission to enter this environment. When I select "Guest user", I have to enter my username and password. Although I never created a password for this laptop, I'm not allowed to login without password.

  I am now trying to restore my computer laptop out-of-box settings, but when I try to hold F8 at startup, I don't have the option to select the recovery settings, as I already did when I tried to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration.

  For Toshiba, you press and hold "0" while turning on the computer...
