Re: Satellite M300 - can I restore Vista from Windows 7?

Hi, my laptop model is Satellite M300

I want to ask all can I have used the recovery disks that I created last time when I was with Windows Vista Home Premium, to restore it back to Vista after I format my C drive and install the new OS which is Windows 7?

So, if I start the recovery disks that I created last time and run it. Is he able to restore Grand Vista as the factory setting?

Hello!

First of all what model of laptop you have exactly?

The Toshiba Recovery disk normally contains factory settings, which means that all the drivers and tools they have been delivered with the laptop.

But normally on most computers laptops only trial version of Office is preinstalled. It works for 90 days, as far as I know, and after that, it should be bought if you want to use.
Your laptop comes with a full version of Office?

Good bye

  • Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.

    Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.  When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved.   Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.

    Hi there, alicefrompa!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!

    You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left.  When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.

    From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.

    If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.

    1. Press command + O on your keyboard.
    2. Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
    3. Restart your Mac by selecting the menu  Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.

  • 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:
    http://wikisend.com/download/996858/20130313_160410.jpg
    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.

  • Windows Vista. I can't restore data from backup after reinstalling windows.

    Regularly, I backed up my Dell laptop Vista hard disk independent. I just had to reinstall windows and now when I go to restore my data, I get a message saying the backup location is not available. I ran a backup on the same drive as before, but the problem remains. Even backup always lists all the backups I made before resettlement. How can I restore my data?

    Here's an article from someone who was essentially the same problem as you and finally resolved itself do the restore again (although some other suggestions can help more in your situation). http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/f9d74b19-5eec-4453-a3b4-ff11940ec83a.

    Frankly, at this point, I'm puzzled.   I don't know what else to try.  Maybe someone with more knowledge (a support technician or MVP) will read and respond to this topic.  I suggest you try this announcement in the Technet forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistaapps/threads.  They are a little more technically oriented than here and may be able to find a solution to your problem.

    Good luck and I hope you get your problem resolved and can recover your lost .pst files. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    Hello

    Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
    To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

    Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
    Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
    Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  • How can I copy files from Windows Mail (Vista PC) of my drive external segate to my PC Windows 7?

    I have my backups on my external drive Seagate Free Agent of my old PC of Vista Windows that died. How can I transfer my files from Windows Mail, photos and other files to my laptop which has Windows 7 from my external hard drive. I used Windows Backup and Restore to create my backup files.

    Thank you for your help.

    File messaging in windows 7 does not work. So even if you copy the files etc on win7, windows mail usually run in Windows 7

    There are sites with copies of windows mail that you can use it on Win7 (including the reg files), so it will work properly

  • Restoring files from Windows XP (.bkf) in Windows 7

    I had a complete computer failure and replaced my laptop with a new one running Windows 7. I need to restore all my files from backups made on Windows XP (.bkf files). This doesn't seem to be possible in Windows 7. I saw a few proposals for solutions that involve the restoration of a machine running XP and then transfer the files, but I don't have a second machine to do this. How can I access backed up files?

    And if it does not, you can wait until Microsoft releases the NTBackup Restore Utility for Windows 7 (as they did for Windows Vista). Check out this thread.

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:

    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    Hello

    I have Windows Vista SP2 on my machine. can I he move to Windows 7 using Windows 7 Ultimate draft?

    A preliminary version is not a permanent solution and to this date can not activate or update properly.  You have two choices:

    (1) get you a Windows 7 upgrade version.  (2) Windows 7 Trial (see the last part of my post).

    With a choice, it is always a good idea to create a backup Image of your hard drive before moving from Vista to Windows 7.
