Recovery process for Win 7 on Satellite Pro T110 is very fragile - WARNING

I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro T110 with Windows 7 Professional and was very surprised of the fragility of the system recovery process was:

(1) there is no DVD media with recovery of Windows 7.
(2) during the installation process, you MUST follow all the standard options (no additional partitions) If you want to be able to use the hard disk recovery partition every time.
(3) third-party imaging solution to take a snapshot of the disk, using a partition is a pointless exercise - you will probably not be able to recover to a State where it can be used.

Personally, I think that must be a big red piece of paper (or better yet, a set of recovery disks) in the box that says something like the following:

If you want to be able to recover the factory default condition, you MUST follow this process:
(1) installation using the standard options - DO NOT CREATE any WHAT of PARTITIONS ADDITIONAL
(2) be prepared to wait hours for the system configuration process completed successfully
(3) DO NOT connect to a network during this process connection
(4) do not touch the keyboard or press the button unless recommended specifically to do
(5) be prepared to go through many cycles of restarting the computer
(6) once completed, the FIRST thing you should do is get a USB DVD drive and use the utility program to create a set of recovery disks.
(7) create a system repair disc - it may be a CD

In my installation, I created a partition of D (to allow for the backup image), then managed to lock the touchpad and then ended up with a totally dead machine after having tried a system recovery which came with error F3-F100-0004. Thanks to the help of Marcus to Toshiba, Brisbane I was able to get a set of recovery disks and get it operational.

I hope this is helpful to someone else and that Toshiba can improve the reliability and stability of the recovery process.

Hello

If you would turn on the unit for the first time, then you will see that Windows 7 was already preinstalled and just s complete the installation process
It will take time, however, after the win 7 installation you will find a pre-installed manual, most people don t read this and it is a big mistake
Operating instructions, you can find all the details you mention here in the display

> 1) there is no DVD media with recovery of Windows 7.
There is an available HARD drive recovery option that allows you to retrieve the device without the recovery disk, but you can also create a clean recovery disc using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled tool!

(> 2) During the installation process, you MUST follow all the standard options (no additional partitions) If you want to be able to use the hard disk recovery partition every time.
As far as I know Win 7 preinstalled Toshiba is an image and does not change the partitions you can change this only if you are using the Microsoft Win 7 disc and it should be clear

However, the recovery disk must be created ALWAYS that because there is always a risk that something would go wrong with a HARD drive or partition

With reocvery disc, you are always on the right side

    We have two machines that also work well on Vista 32 and we have increased the RAM on both.
    They are very slow and all two defective CD/DVD players.
    I want to solve the problem of the speed and would like to know if the upgrade to Windows 7 64 would make the machine run better.
    All of the software and devices that we use are compatible.

    I read the advice on the Web from Toshiba site on how to upgrade, but it lacks a lot of information.
    For example how to deal with the HD partitions. There is the boot partition and the stupid E drive parition.
    This is one aspect of these PC that has always annoyed me. Why split the drive C and E, it must be just C.
    For example all Toshiba on the PC, things software applications for CD/DVD etc.?

    If someone has done one of these jobs,

    Replaced the CD/DVD drive - I can just adapt any drive or is there a special unit of Toshiba?

    Replaced the hard - what type, size and the connection? Can I just buy any player? How do you get home? I was planning to take the old drive and put a new and install Win 7 on who - saves all them messing around with the update.

    Has anyone tried Linux?

    > For example how to deal with the HD partitions? There is the boot partition and the partition of drive E stupid.
    I think that it of better to have two or more partitions only on the partition.
    First of all, you can install the operating system (Win 7) on the C partition and other files like photos, movies, etc. can be stored on the second partition. Usually the operating system will ask you where you want to install the operating system. You can point to the C partition, only this partition should be formatted.
    This means that not disappear your files on the second partition of HARD drive.
    It is one of the benefits if you have more than one partition.

    > How to make all software Toshiba on the PC, applications for CD/DVD etc. things for example?
    Toshiba software can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.
    If you need drivers, then you should take a look here
    If some drivers Win 7 would be missing, then you should look for in other models of laptops from Toshiba for a driver and tools. In many cases, the drivers of the other models would be compatible. In the worst case, you will need to search for and collect the drivers of your own hands using google.

    > Replaced the CD/DVD drive - I can just adapt any drive or is there a special unit of Toshiba?
    No, you must use a compatible; This CD/DVD drive can be ordered from Toshiba ASP.

    > Replaced the hard - what type, size and the connection? Can I just buy any player? How do you get home?
    You must use a SATA 2.5 HARD disk! SATA has no size limit, you should be able to use also 500 GB 2.5 SATA HDD.

    Hello

    I'm trying to use the webcam came with the laptop, it's a Satellite Pro T110 - 11L.

    It is currently running Windows 7 64 bit and I tried to install the web camera for Windows 7 64-bit drivers and even the XP version which Toshiba site has on the page drivers.

    The two pilots of the web unit fail during installation that gives "Application DMICheck stopped working" error.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you
    Hugo Figueira

    Hello Hugo

    According to the specifications of the laptop your model T was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64 bit professional. Original recovery image contains a preinstalled software webcam and it is configured to start automatically, so I would like to know since when you noticed this problem.

    I can't imagine that this problem persists since the first day. Am I right about that?

    Are you still using original preinstalled OS?
    By the way: this is the driver for the webcam just for your laptop model.

  • Issue scan fingerprint with Win 7 and Satellite Pro A300

    SORRY, MODEL IS A300.

    Bunk/upgrading Vista to Windows 7 Professional and we found the fingerprint reader does not.
    Unable to remove program and custom accept the new installation of fingerprint reader or even of new fingerprints to be scanned. (Former Vista program works in background somehwere?)

    Is the fingerprint reader, which was installed under Vista now not compatible with WIndows 7.
    It seems to be still no upgrade or downloads for fingerprint drivers for Windows 7.

    Post edited by: lasdec1

    Hi mate

    To be honest, I doubt that Win 7 drivers would be published for this good old classic.
    I mean the Satellite Pro A30 is an older series and even Vista drivers have not been released for this series of models
    I searched on the European driver Toshiba page but I found only the W2k, Win XP drivers for this device

    So if you want to use Win 7 on this laptop, then you need to collect the drivers of your own hands and it would be the same with the fingerprint reader. Maybe the pilot designed and released for other series would work.

    It seems that Toshiba is in the version of the driver for different series you can take a look at the different series and might try the drivers.

  • Need to reinstall Win 7 on Satellite Pro C660

    Hello

    I reinstall windows 7 laptop satellite pro and I formatted the disc before you create the operating system recovery disks.
    How can I do?

    I just have to activate the license of Windows 7 before moving on to Windows 10 in free mode.

    Thank you!!!

    If you have formatted the HARD drive before you create a recovery disc, then you will not be able to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

    In this case, you have two options:

    (1) you will use a Microsoft installation disc to install Windows 7 (you need valid serial key and license of MS)
    or
    (2) you will order the Arvato service recovery disk: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/

  • Need administrator rights for the Intel on Satellite Pro 2100 speed step

    Hello
    I have a Satellite PRO 2100 (Pentium 4 1.9 GHz).
    I have a problem with the function of the Intel speed step, which reduces the speed of the processor at 1.2 GHz. But I have a problem: I can do this, if I use an administrator account...
    After starting, if I connect with a simple user account, the Intel speed step works... and the speed of the cpu remains at 1.9 GHz.
    So I would like to use this function with a simple user account, how do I do it please?

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hello

    As far as I know that this application is not shipped with the image of Toshiba and it s not made not part of the image.
    But I put t see any big problems. You will need to change your account administrator rights. In this case, you will need to ask someone the admin right to edit your account.

    The other possibility is to change the law for this software. There can be changes as by admin. What you can change in the Security tab in the program properties. Full control must be set to all.

    Then, it should be possible to use this application with your account.

  • Sound on Satellite Pro A30 plays very well, then disappears

    A satellite Pro A30 for two years. A few months ago, the noise began to cut. It always returns when I reboot or restart. And sometimes, he remains well overall!
    I tried reloading Realtek program but that didn't make a difference.
    Also recently subscribed to iTunes and wonder if it is to have an effect?

    Any help much appreciated

    Hello

    The problem occurred before that you subscribed to iTunes?
    Maybe a 3rd party software has a bad influence on the sound properties?
    It's not easy to say why it happens because we don t know what you have installed on your laptop.
    However, you should check the Toshiba driver download page and here, you must download and install the driver of his most recent.

    > I have replaced the drive and the full screen with elements well known with no joy
    That s very strange and to be honest I can't say with certainty why these spare parts not help you solve this problem. Is the external monitor looks OK and the chip chart isn t the troublemaker. So the problem must be linked to the internal screen or FL inverter.

    I recommend you contact the service provider authorized Toshiba to get more details about these issues and get compatible parts.
