Re: Satellite A300 - product key of Vista isn't more visible

Hi all
I use Satellite A300 laptop computer with Vista preinstalled OS.

Due to a virus problem my system got crashed upward... so need to reinstall the OS... but my VISTA key at the bottom of my laptop is not visible now... is there a way to get my product as iam key still in warranty period...
Thanks for the help in advance

Suneel.

Hello!

If reinstalling Vista using a Microsoft installation disc you n t need this product key on the underside of the laptop. This key belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used with a version of Vista that you can buy in a normal store of the computer. This is why you must use the product key that comes with the version of Vista.
OEM versions are available for manufactured goods.

If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk you can order directly into a new Toshiba. Akuma already post the link to the workshop.

Good bye

  • Music satellite A300 PSAG4A keys doesn't work do not

    Hello

    I am new to this forum and in fact Toshiba problems in general. : P

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG4A running on Vista 32 bit. A few days ago the music keys Harman/Kardon lighting on it suddenly stopped working. When I use my cell phone, I usually put in mode 'sleep' and normally wake him using these support the keys - but for some reason, they stopped randomly light up and answer.

    I tried used - by restarting the computer laptop and test frantically buttons, but of course, they do not react. Keys and the laptop itself served very well up to now I can't think of any reason why this is happening now.

    I'm not super computer savvy but I did some reading on the subject of these keys and wanted to try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added Package method - but I couldn't find the PVAT file anywhere on my laptop.

    In addition, Toshiba does not offer support for my laptop computer series (A300-PSAG4A); their download section is only for the ST series. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be looking right or whatever.

    I did a system health report to check if it is a driver problem and it came with the following text:
    Error messages two affirming that "the device for the Base system device driver has not been installed" and the other saying that "the device driver for #UNKNOWN # has not been installed."

    I don't know that anyone say or if they are relevant to my problem.

    Help, please?

    > I'm not super computer savvy but I did some reading on the subject of these keys and wanted to try to reinstall the Toshiba Value added Package method - but I couldn't find the PVAT file anywhere on my laptop.

    Hi, you can download the VAP (value added package) for a Toshiba driver page.

    > Also, Toshiba does not offer support for my laptop computer series (A300-PSAG4A); their download section is only for the ST series. Please correct me if I'm wrong - I could be looking right or whatever.

    Surely, they do think you searched on a fake page the A300 PSAG4A seems to be an Australian series of Toshiba and therefore, you should check page driver Toshiba to THE.

    Here you should find the VAP

    Recommend to uninstall the first PPV, and after new reboot you could install the package again.

  • Satellite A300 - easy (key) does not not after SP2 update

    Satellite A300 easy (key) does not...
    I have recently upgraded my Vista SP1 to SP2 (do not know if this is the problem, but I'm pretty sure that's not)

    Yesterday, I discovered that my easy keys no longer work. Lights are out, when I press the keys, the light comes on and goes off again as they do normally, but no reaction on my screen (can not turn on any light without restarting my computer and select turned ON manually cannot transform media of windows opened by the touch and play the key do not work).

    Is it supposed to be a driver or something for this?

    Sorry for the bad English...

    Hello!

    A few days ago, I had the same problem on my laptop Qosmio. Lighting keys stopped working after installing some updates and the 3rd application programs the keys no longer works and also the lighting.
    At the end of the story, I had to reinstall Windows :(

    In any case, now, you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. He controls these buttons that you want to say and you can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing you need to remove the old version first, restart the computer, clean up your Windows with CCleaner for example, restart again and then install the new VAP.

At present, there are three partitions, recovery vista 1.5 GB, 150 GB C and 150 GB E (with recovery of HARD drive inside). My ubuntu, I would like to partitions / and / Home (about 150 GB).

    If you created the recovery DVDs, you can remove HDDRecovery and use the second partition for Linux. When you want to install once again just use recovery media created Vista.

    If you change the structure of the partition, no doubt, you will not be able to use saved image in this folder.

  • I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium. How can I get this drive?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died.  I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk.  I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium.  How can I get this drive?  Acer sells not more the disc for this model.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    As Acer does not have them, you have to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300.

    Key sticker is damaged and if I don't have a full license key.
    At first, I changed the structure of partition and I lost the partition with the windows (installation package) image.

    I need to reinstall the system and by the way I'll change system 64-bit architecture (I don't know why but the 32-bit system was preinstalled on 64-bit laptop computer).
    I have the DVD with the system, but without the license key, I can't do anything.

    I spoke to Microsoft technical support and they directed me to Toshiba because Toshiba has bought the license from Microsoft and Toshiba only knew what key has been assigned to my laptop.

    Microsoft representative also said that Toshiba was forced (by some agreement) provide the buyer with license key assigned to cell specific.

    Toshiba is not representatives in Poland - they closed the Polish Office recently.

    If you want to move from 32-bit system to 64-bit system, you must purchase the disc with the Windows System.
    Laptop Toshiba computers are preinstalled with Toshiba picture (this isn't support only Windows OS). The image of Toshiba contains the Windows operating system, Toshiba, Toshiba software driver, tool, utility, and 3rd party software. The system in this image is already activated and there is no serial for activation key. The key to series that you found at the bottom of the device belongs to the OEM version and it does not work under the other system.

    If you need to reinstall this image of Toshiba and don t have the recovery media (you can create this DVD in the past using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator pre-installed software) you can order it here:

  • Satellite L300 - product key Windows 7 required

    Hello. I bought my Toshiba Satellite L300 in 2011 and it came with windows vista preinstalled. Some time later, we learned that Toshiba gave a free upgrade to windows 7. I got the install disks and install windows7. I had zero problems with my machine since and have been a very happy customer - until very recently.

    I emptied my trash recently and for some reason, there were a few critics files in there, so now, my machine does not start. I don't know how they got there because they were in the trash administrator and I always use a subordinate user account - for security reasons.

    Long story short, I tried to start my computer using the windows 7 installation disc which worked perfectly until I had to enter the product key. Unfortunately, the product key on the label of my laptop is for windows vista so I thought that it is not valid. I wonder if I can recover my product key of windows 7 from anywhere? Toshiba would have a record of what they could send me? I was informed by microsoft that I get from Toshiba.

    To complicate things, I bought the laptop in Ireland, but now lives in South Korea, so I can't at home get the product key.

    I have the Toshiba DVD upgrade, the product key would be there?

    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Toshiba does not provide a unique product for the Windows system keys.
    Toshiba offers own recovery disks / averages in order to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

    Windows system which is part of the image of Toshiba is already enabled and does not require the additional serial key.
