Recovery disk is deletes the data at the 2nd disk on Satellite A300?

Hello
I use a laptop Toshiba A300, which has 2 hard drives (250GB). The laptop has Windows Vista Home Edition 32-bit installed, but I want to change for Windows Vista 64-bit, which comes with the recovery disk, in order to use all 4 GB of RAM.

I have all the backup data and move them to the 2nd HARD drive (D, C named first name).

So I wonder if Recovery Wizard will delete the data of the two hard disks or just a 1st.

Thanks in advance
Kevin

Hello

Your laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option allows you to create the own Toshiba Recovery disk which would be contains the preinstalled operating system.
In your case the Vista 32 bit.

And Yes, install from the recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and removes all the disk, also of the second partition.

That's why to create the recovery disk before you install or change anything on the HARD drive

  • Satellite A100: Cannot install recovery after having deleted the Ubuntu partition

    Hello friends,

    I have the Satellite A 100. I was using dual OS - windows vista home edition and Ubuntu. Now I wanted to remove Ubuntu and so I did the stupidest thing - directly delete the partition with Ubuntu which had the GRUB files. Then to the laptop computer restart of course the Grub bootloader wasn't there and if the computer is not started or load any OS. Then I thought that I will reinstall Vista with product recovery CD but the progress reached at 2% and then I keep getting error 1117 a failure to read. I tried so many times without success. I even tried to install XP, but it says Intel boot agent cannot make connection. And it also fails.

    Please help to reinstall Vista or XP. I'm really stuck and I learned a lesson not to tinker in mobile when it isn't those of Cup of tea!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    > Now if I download EasyBCD how would I be able to run it or how should I use it?
    You will not be able to run EasyBCD because you are not able to boot Vista.
    EasyBCD can be installed only in Vista and will allow you to change the Vista Boot Manager.

    I think you need to format the entire disk HARD again should erase all partitions and must attempt to reinstall Vista.

    I recommend using a free tool called GParted LiveCD. Google for what it helps format the HARD drive!

    In advance thank you all responded

    Well buddy. You mad a big mistake, you must have created the first recovery disc before you changed or deleted something from the disc.

    I put t know whether you will be able to use the option of HARD drive recovery, but try to press F8 key immediately after you have switched on the laptop.
    Usually, the menu should appear and you should choose the first option called repair my computer and then Toshiba recovery.

    Well, if this is not possible then you have no choice as to order the recovery of this site disk:

  • Is it possible to install the second disk in Satellite A300-15 a PSAJ4E

    Hello!

    I just bought Satellite A300-15A (PSAJ4E).
    I read in some reviews that these models have an empty space for an additional HARD drive, but that some models do not have an additional connector for a second HDD.

    I wonder if it is possible to install the second HARD drive in my A300-15 has.

    Thank you!

    Hello Ivo

    To be clear: A300 laptop come with a few different hardware configurations. Some of them with one and some of them with two hard drives. The plastic case is the same for all models of laptops and you can find room for the second HARD drive, but the motherboard is not the same and not stretch with the second HARD drive.

    Remove the cover from the HARD drive to the second HARD drive and let us know if the HARD drive connector is available.
    I'm sure that there is no connector.

    In your case there is nothing you can do. The recovery DVDs can be created only if the laptop is factory settings. Unfortunately, you have removed original preinstalled Vista and now there is no way, you can create recovery media.

  • View the updated driver for Satellite A300

    Hello

    I own a Satellite A300-PSAJ4E which has an ATi Radeon 3650HD, executed former 8.4 catalyst Windows Vista since I bought my laptop. ATi's catalyst 9.6 published on its Internet site, with many bug fixes and improvements to OpenGL and DirectX 10.1 support.

    My question is: what is Toshiba of the policy regarding the provision of updates to its end-users display drivers? Is it possible we (end users) get an update of the display planned for our hardware driver?

    Kind regards
    Ilyes Gouta.

    Hello

    I put t know why didn't release another driver yet, but why you want a newer driver?
    I mean the drivers from the Toshiba page are pre-tested on your laptop and it should work properly without any problem. For example I never had problems with the drivers of Toshiba.

    But you can try to search for drivers for laptop ATI updated the. As far as I know there are tools available that allows to install the drivers Catalyst on mobile Google could help you in this case ;)

  • The use of symbols on the right keyboard on Satellite A300?

    I have recently purchesed a Toshiba Satellite A300.
    The details of the system are as follows:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5850 2.16 GHz GHZ 2.17
    Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit.
    Memory Ram: 3.00 GB.

    Anywho, it costs 879 Euro + shipping and handling. The problem is the keyboard. The keyboard language is set to English (United States). For who knows what reason, some of the keys are not their symbol/function/number designed.

    For example, in order to make the symbol "@" I have to use the sequence of corresponding keys SHIFT + ','
    But when I press SHIFT + 2 I get "
    I can't understand why, but I can not even operate. A large number of keys are out of whack. I have not hit what, I only got it more than a week. It cost me a lot, and I can't seem to find support. I got a technician to look at it, but he was unable to understand.

    I tried holding SHIFT ALTGR and pressing INSERT and everything but nothing helps.

    Please, I need to understand how can I ressolve this problem, I can't access one of my email accounts, because I can't understand what is wrong with the keyboard.

    my email address is [email protected]
