Hello

Why you didn t create a DVD recovery Toshiba at the beginning?

In my view, there is info in the user manual and a notification that recovery HARD disk image should be burnt on the DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator.

I don't know if you will be able to reinstall Vista now without buying the DVD of recovery of m.

Try to boot the computer and press the F8 key. Usually a start menu should appear providing some options. The first option called fix my computer will allow you to reinstall Vista. But I doubt that this option is now available after installation of XP!

This is why you last chance would be a recovery DVDs you can buy here:

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how can I make the webcam work on Win7

    Hello everyone.

    I had Win Vista installed on this Satellite A300 and it worked well.
    I had no problem at all.

    Then I moved to Win7 and now I'm going through the test of the work of webcam.
    I tried to install all types of drivers, even those for A500, but it would be of no use.

    So, how can I make the webcam work on my A300?

    I've tried everything, even the installation of Ubuntu on this laptop and still it wouldn't work. If this is your interest, I'm under Win7 in Spanish, x 32, Home Edition.

    I really need your help here, please, I beg you, I spent 5 days ago almost try ANYTHING!
    And yet, I get the message after each installation/reboot of the: "the camara web esta disabled o ha Fall.» "Por favor, it check las web camara su configs", which would result in something like "the webcam is disabled or it has failed. Please check the configuration of your webcam. I've been browsing the forum for related issues, but I have not found any solution :(

    Thanks in advance,

    Ozma.

    Hello

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A300 :)

    you said that:

    Do you mean that you want to use HARD drive recovery option?
    If yes then you must press the F8 laptop computer powered on.
    Then choose fix my computer.
    Then a new window will open, here you have to choose the last option called Toshiba Recovery.

    BUT I want to completely remove vista and install once more of my Special partiction with vista on my toshiba as at first, when you're editing vista on toshiba

    HOW CAN I DO?
    Thank you very much!

    longplej!

    First of all, you should not open two threads on the same topic!

    Second, the procedure posted in the other thread and this ad above describes how to install the second HARD drive partition Vista!

    Once again;
    Press F8, choose repair my computer, choose Toshiba recovery of new open window and follow the instructions on the screen.

    After this procedure, you will get the laptop as on the first day of purchase!

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how can I choose stand in power saving mode?

    Hello!

    In older versions of the power management utility, I could choose Stand by mode when the laptop lid is closed. But in the new versions of Power Saver is available only Hibernate mode. I don't need the Stand By mode. How can I solve this problem?

    My old laptop A75-S206, Windows XP, power management utility version 1.23.2.5
    The new laptop A300-1 OC, Windows XP, Power Saver worm 7.04.02.I

    Thank you

    On my Satellite L300 with Power Saver too I choose stand by mode if I close the lid. So, you should try to update the Power Saver software.

  • Satellite M100: How can I use the S-VHS output

    Hello
    I have a Satellite M100. A second screen display will be only activated if I already plugged an external display to the VGA output.
    What I want is to allow my second screen so I can use my cable S-VHS on the TV.
    I wonder that my problem is caused by the Mobile Intel 945 GM video card?

    It's my third Toshiba and I never had this kind of problem before.
    So if my problem how do I use my S-VHS output?

    Thanks in advance
    M.

    Hello

    I guess you want to use the TV and not a second external monitor.
    You can connect the TV to the s-video port.
    Then, you pass the output device by using the FN + F5 key combination.
    Here you have to choose the TV and not the external display.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MO - can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?

    I have an A300-1 MB.
    Can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Or is it as a specific for my A300-1 MB?

    I'm like a total noob...
    Someone pls help...!

    No, you cannot use any recovery disk, you must use the recovery disc designed for this model of laptop.
    The point is that recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package that contains the OS and Toshiba drivers
    If you want to use another recovery disc then the image would be installed with no compatible drivers and this could lead to other problems

    Every new notebook from Toshiba offers a Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool. This tool can create a recovery disk

  • Satellite A300-1ND - can I use SATA2 HARD disk?

    Hello.
    Is there a place to upgrade A300-1NDs SATA HDD hard drive SATA2? I know that SATA2 is faster and is backward compatible with SATA, but do not know if the laptop would be able to use the full speed of SATA2.

    THX all

    Hello

    As Akuma has already said the s normal HARD disk with 5400 or 7200 RPM are not due the old interface SATA1.
    The speed of your drive you can check yourself with HD Tune for example. I think that your HARD drive will not reach the 150 Mbps.  ;)

    The new SATA2 interface is compatible with SATA1 controllers, but it won't bring a performance gain.
    Only the new generation of SSD also called HARD disk s can use fast SATA2 interface but these drives are more expensive than normal HDD s.

Insert the diskette and reboot the laptop. Then follow the instructions on the screen and that's it. Knowledge, during the recovery process that your computer restarts repeatedly :)

  • Satellite A300 - how to use wake up on keyboard functionality?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A300-1ME and also a desktop PC intel 4 and I use a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) to control two computers with one keyboard & mouse. The kvm has PS/2 cables and is connected to the TOSHIBA by a PS/2 to the USB cable from the switch. The connection of the keyboard & mouse to the notebook computer is connected to a USB port. I use vista 32 bit on my laptop and XP on the desktop personal computer.

    Now for my question, how can I use the keyboard to turn on the laptop closed (not the standby mode). I tried to do by choosing the keyboard HWSetup awakening and also, I checked the bios, to the keyboard 'waking up' option and he chose but still it won't start the laptop with the keyboard.

    P.S if there is no way to turn on the laptop keyoard, then perhaps by pressing the dvd - rom. If someone knows how to do made me know

    Thank you
    * Is * a * R *.

    Hey Buddy,

    Operating instructions, I found the following information:
    + Wake up on keyboard: when this feature is enabled and that the computer is in mode 'sleep', you can activate the computer by pressing any key. It is effective only for the internal keyboard and only when the computer is in "sleep". +

    Does that answer your question? ;)
