  HI :)

  I have a little problem. I forgot to burn a recovery on the CD disc.
  I know that there is a special partition on my hard drive with Vista.

  How can I get there. How can I reinstall my windows as at a time of trees?

  Thank you very much

  I'm waiting for a good feedback!

  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!

  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 A300-1EI PSAGCE - need to Vista 64-bit drivers

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A300 - 1EI PSAGCE, which by default comes with Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I intend to upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but I am not able to find the drivers for vista 64 bit from Toshiba Web sites. When buying the laptop, I had asked expressly the Toshiba seller if I can move on to the final and he convinced me that I can.

  _Kindly provide a link to download the drivers for 64 bit for A300-1EI_.

  Please notify.

  Kind regards
  Adil

  You asked to you can upgrade Vista 64-bit operating system and sellers said yes.
  Well, of course, you can install the 64-bit Vista. You can also install W2k or WinME you can install everything but the question is whether you will be able to find the drivers.

  The point is that this is a new series of mobile at the moment and I think that the derivers 64 bit of Vista will be released in next time
  So, either you will wait until these drivers will be available on the Toshiba site or you try to collect the drivers and own hand.

  Sequence of events

  6 machine) will now not close or answer unless the Start button / Stop button for an age

  I have re-installed windows Vista that seemed to solve the problem last night, but when you use this morning same sequence happened.

  I ran the check disk of F8 and a restoration of systems

  Any ideas?
  I am running Vista, the only program I have installed/activated latley windows mail and an update to I-Tunes.

  Help, please!

  If you have reinstalled Windows Vista with the Toshiba recovery image and then you have the same problems, you should check your Satellite to an ASP (authorized service provider).
  I think that it s a hardware problem.

• Satellite A300-1EG - after upgrade to Vista Premium lacks some options

  Floor of the year of return, that I bought the computer laptop Toshiba SATELLITE A300-1EG (short model No. PSAG4E). Due to some problems, it was necessary to reinstall Windows.

  Bought the laptop introduced Windows Vista Home. Now I have created Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. A problem with some drivers, I can't adjust brightness and sharpness of the screen, and the screen guests do not work. Writing "or screen prompt updated video card is required, or the video card compatible with Direct3D" is necessary.

  Help please!

  Hello

  I think that you didn t install the driver on the right graphics card
  It seems that your laptop supports the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics chip and I think that you should simply reinstall the graphics driver on the European driver Toshiba page

  What do you think?

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA-03C010 - downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello

  I'm really new to all this, so I hope that will not ask a question that has already been answered :)

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 (model PSAGCA-03C010) in October 08. It came with a preinstalled version of Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Initially, using Vista was not too bad, but it happened at a point now where his things slows down and is really frustrating. Want to downgrade (/ upgrade) go back to Windows XP and I want to know the "implications" of this and if the Toshiba Utilities are consistent and will work with XP.

  First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?

  Also, I am concerned about the Wi - fi, bluetooth, finger scan and HDMI applications - will this work with XP?

  Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?

  Thanks in advance and again once, apologies if these qns have already answered in other posts (im not too technical).

  Tamara

  > Want to downgrade (/ upgrade) go back to Windows XP and I want to know the "implications" of this and if the Toshiba Utilities are consistent and will work with XP.
  Tools and Vista drivers are not compatible with Win XP. If you want to install Win XP and want to use all the features of the laptop you must make sure that the Win XP drivers are available for this model of laptop.

  Satellite A300 PSAGCA seems to be an Australian model. The drivers are placed here:
  http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

  I checked this and found a few tools and drivers for this device.

  > First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?
  No, you can not use it because it belongs to the Vista operating system preinstalled on your laptop.

  > Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?
  Yes, the recovery disk allows to reverse the laptop back to factory settings.
  You will get the same as on the first day of purchase

• Satellite A300-1IK - impossible to update Vista

  Hello

  I recently reset my Satellite A300 to its default values by using the utility HDDRecovery. Now, the OS is Vista Home Premium SP1, but I'm not able to update vista drivers or get the upgrade to SP2, so I was struck with my SP1 default.

  I tried installing updates with automatic update, or manually checking the updates under "Windows Update" options. I have achieved anything with the first method (planned updates begin at all), while with the second method when I click on the button "Search for updates", it tells me "impossible to verify new updates; CODE ERROR 80072EFE»
  So I tried to download the executable update packages microsoft official to their download area, but all fail to install.
  What am I supposed to do?

  Thanks in advance, Alessandro

  Hi caiusteblack,

  > So I tried to download the executable update packages microsoft official to their download area, but all fail to install.
  Pack update that you downloaded?

  Of way General if SP1 is already installed you can begin with the installation of SP2 for Vista but SP1 must be installed in the first place. SP2 is available for download on the official site of Microsoft (no Windows Update). Download SP2 and run the install and check what is happening.

• Satellite A300-1QD - how to restore Vista preinstalled?

  Hey,.

  I made a big mistake, two years ago. I installed windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1QD but on the laptop Windows Vista was installed and I have no recovery disk, but I have the original serialnumber of it.

  Are there opportunities to put Windows Vista on the laptop without buying a new version of Windows Vista?

  welcome them

  steste123

  Hello

  If you don t have a recovery disk, you must order such a Toshiba drive directly to restore preinstalled Windows Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings):
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  But it s not free as far as I know it costs about 30 Euros.

  So I t understand why you didn't create the recovery disc yourself. Everything is mentioned in the user manual

• Satellite P100-276 - can't reinstall Vista from external CD drive

  Cannot install external CD drive Vista
  Options
  ? 15/03/2013 15:03

  My Toshiba P100-276 Vista Home Premium crashed for the last time, so I bought a new hard drive.
  Internal CD player had not worked for some time, but had happened before.
  It would always work again when I reinstalled Vista.
  Not now, however.
  So my pc - guy installed the new drive and tried to install Vista from my USB - CDRom-drive.
  Which has resulted in these messages:

  and:
  http://wikisend.com/download/363738/20130313_171457.jpg

  Googleing it, it turns out that you can solve this problem by changing the 'compatibility' mode in the bios, but not in MY bios.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402V30000R01NL.htm

  Install a new CD player might settle it, but would be costly and complex at the same time.
  I'm writing this using Ubuntu, who btw had no difficulties to install from the external drive.

  All solutions?

  In the past, several people have reported the same problem.
  Also, are you using the original recovery disk or the Microsoft installation disc?

  The simplest solution is to buy the new optical disk drive. You can find it on eBay and it is cheap for this old machine. You can exchange it in 2 minutes, and everything will be OK again.

  In the user s manuals document you can find a list of all compatible optical disk drives.
  Satellite P100 is a fairly old machine, but if you use the original recovery disk it contains good SATA driver.

• By Satellite A300 - 15 c comes with Vista DVD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 c to some queries:

  Is - this type is delivered with Windows Vista DVD?

  Hello

  The new Toshiba notebooks seem to be delivered with the image of Toshiba HDD.
  This means that Vista and all the other drivers, tools and utilities are already preinstalled on the HARD drive and the image is placed on another partition.

  You can burn this image on DVD to get a recovery DVD.
  As I m not wrong not it must be preinstalled software Toshiba called recovery disk creator. This tool can be used to create a recovery DVD.

  Once again; the books are not delivered with the Vista DVD.

• Satellite A300 - question about the MIDI connection

  Can someone help me?

  I have a computer laptop satellite A300 and want to connect it to my computer to stream TV and movies.
  I don't see where I would plug MIDI to my computer.
  Is it possible to do with this model?

  If not, can I get a plug that would stretch the capacity of the computer or I have to get a new computer?

  Thank you
  Carol

  Sorry, but I m confused
  You said you want to connect the Satellite A300 to a computer
  Is this correct?

  You can connect two computers via a LAN cable. But I have no idea why you talking about connecting MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

• Satellite A300 - question about Vista license key

  Hi all,

  I bought an A300-149 with preinstalled Vista.
  One of my friends told me, the partition that was used to install Vista is not useful, it consumes space from my HARD drive, so I deleted the partition and rearranged the partitions that I was going to use them.

  I just found out it's a big mistake to do that, because the contained all partition drivers and Vista with the license key.
  I'm losing my windows license, if I eventually have to reinstall it? (I have the label on the underside of the computer with the key...)
  I can not download the content of this partition (in the form of an ISO standard) somewhere in this site? (and use the key to the label, as it is usually done with the software)

  I paid for this OS... so I don't understand why I have not received a DVD with the software? (When I opened the box, I was looking for the DVD and I wandered why he is missing...)
  It's frustrating...

  Waiting for your answers,
  Thank you

  Hello

  It's really stupid situation now, but certainly not frustrating.
  Here a few facts to better understand:

  New Toshiba laptops are delivered without recovery DVD and images of recovery is recorded on the second partition. All of us must create own recovery media. To do this, this Toshiba has designed little tool called creator of Toshiba recovery disc. With this tool, you can create recovery recovery CD and DVD. When you have these media you can do with the data you want. To install Vista over these media must be used.

  So many people may forget or simply ignore it. Because of this Toshiba has designed reminder with the trace message:

  Because of this, Toshiba has designed little reminder that will be shown in short time after first start with track contents:

  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair *.
  * your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
  * and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to *.
  * ensure hat you are able to restore your computer to the factory installed state, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  I can't imagine you didn t see.
  In any case, your friend probably has no idea how it works, and now you have a problem.
  To be honest you have no problem, but the additional costs. You can order the following original Toshiba disk link given by Akuma, but you must pay for it.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work
