• Satellite A215 - Fn button are no longer available after reinstalling Vista

  Hi all, not.

  I recently reinstalled Vista on my laptop and I noticed that the function key options are no longer available for brightness settings, lock computer and tastes. If anyone has a direct link to the drivers for that would be great, I thought that I had all of the visit by Toshiba but apparently not.

  In addition, scrolling does not work on my touchpad. I downloaded the latest synaptics drivers and installed and nothing helps... Any help on that would be appreciated also.

  I cehcked mouse options and those who appear to be good. There no options in the Panel "touchpad" however... maybe something there?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  The A215 is a laptop to US. I know that because of the 5 with the and of the model if you use the page of the Toshiba driver Vista us to get the right drivers.

  In any case the FN keys are controlled by Toshiba Flashcards Utility. This sis tool part of the Vista Toshiba value added package and I think that you need to reinstall this tool.
  I put t know why you touchpad scroll function does not work as it should perhaps settings are active or something like

  I have an A210. It s European model and equivalent to A215
  I can change the settings of the touchpad here:
  Control Panel-> mouse-> last tab (settings of the device?  :|)-> settings button

• Satellite Pro A200 - is possible that I can reinstall Vista?

  Hello

  I bought an A200 a couple of years pre-installed with Vista Home Premium.

  Recently, I caught a virus and had to re - install windows I've tried in vain the recovery disc I made of the Toshiba Recovery program. After several attempts I decided to install Ubuntu 9.1 instead, I was happy with, however certain features, as the no sound via HDMI, did not work then I would reinstall Vista.

  In my view, that for pre-installed Vista installation files are on a partition somewhere on my A200.
  Is there a way I can re - install Vista?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can only use the Toshiba Recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista.
  I presume that drive HARD recovery was not available for this model of laptop, but even if it is available, you wouldn't be able to start because you have installed Linux

  So you have just two solutions mentioned; disk recovery or MS Vista.

• Satellite A300 - after reinstalling Vista touchpad and FN doesn't

  Hello

  I reinstalled Vista Home Premium (before removing the old, I saved "Toshiba" folder with the drivers) and now the touchpad does not work + FN key does not work.

  Should which driver I install and where?
  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Normally it is not necessary to install a driver for the touchpad because s he s always activated, but you can do this also with FN + F9.

  However, you should try to install the Toshiba Value added package. This is necessary for the FN keys and on the Toshiba site, you can also find the touchpad driver. Check it!

• Equium A-200 - reinstall Vista deleted my partition

  I got an A-200 for one year or until now Equium and finally she needed to reinstall Vista. He was originally an 80 gig HARD drive partitioned into two drives (same size, I think remember me). I took the plunge, as I had already done on my old XP laptop on countless occasions and installed the recovery disc. I followed the instructions on the screen, which seemed amounted to not more 'Recover Windows' Attention "this will erase your drive", once again, as with my old laptop XP.

  Imagine my surprise, then, after installation, to discover what the score has disappeared and all my saved data. Now, all I have is a disk hard fat 80gig, as opposed to 2 40gig drives and no data.

  Now, it is quite possible that I missed something when you use the recovery disk. But I am sure that there is no obvious warning that Vista would erase all partitions.

  Can you tell me if I missed something in the installation process, or if it is standard for either Vista, or Toshiba laptops, to clear the partitions before installing windows? If this is the case, who made this decision?
  There must be a lot of people like me who migrate assuming that a laptop with a partitioned drive is there so that you can put your data safely on the second drive if you need to reinstall windows. Is it a common thing? Is it me? I'm going crazy after three days using file recovery software?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  What say about it? If you are not sure why you didn t come here and ask the next question?

  Anyway, the fact is that the whole HARD disk is erased before the start of the recovery procedure. When you use Microsoft installations CD or old Toshiba recovery media option where you can choose option called installation on an existing partition there. This option doesn't exist more.

  I know, it's a shame, but there is no chance for the installation of operating system on existing partition. For this reason, it is important to back up all data from external device before you take the new installation of the OS.

• Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

  Hi all

  I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
  I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

  The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
  I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

  Hi amigo

  I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

  Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

• How to reinstall Vista?

  Hello!

  I need help. I have a Toshiba laptop and a few days ago I formatted with a friend who was supposed to know how to do. We have done with the restore cd that I had for vista, but in the process, we have deleted all partitions. My knowledge is very small, but I think that erase something (the recovery partition?) which was necessary to reinstall Vista because the CD does not work.

  Another friend told me that what I need now is an installation for Vista CD and that now that we have erased all my recovery CD does not work.

  Someone has an idea?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know what exactly you were doing, but normally you can reinstall the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a very easy procedure because you only have to make a few clicks. Disk erase the whole HARD drive but that s normal so Don t be to worry about this.

  Alternative, you can use a Microsoft Windows disk. Thus, you can also reinstall Vista, but after that, you will need to download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

• 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.

  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

  Maybe it would work

  You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

• How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

  1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

  I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

  Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

  Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
  But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

  Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

• Should I reinstall Vista Home Premium?

  My problem started when I downloaded a few new files for a game, I run on my Vista Home Premium.  The game is Left 4 Dead 2, I've been looking for a good map editor for game cards included with the game, and in my research on the web, I found a few new cards that are in zip (compressed) format, and after reading the instructions I have to use my 'open with... " command through Vista and the value of Left 4 Dead 2 as well as the program to open these files with..., now on my system, I have a lot of space (500 GB HDD with about 75% of free space), I have a quad-processor, 2.40 GHz Pentium 4, 4 GB of RAM.  Now for the problem; When I select Left 4 Dead 2 as the program to use in the "Open with...» " window and click OK, nothing happens, Left 4 Dead 2 does not appear in the"Open with... " list of programs and it happens with all types of file/program type on my system.  So I ask, can I reinstall Vista once more?  It has been replaced once before, and honestly, I didn't like the process of resettlement.

  Resettlement took my old Windows subfolder and placed in another directory on the operating system reinstalled.  I can see why he does it, but honestly, it's a royal pain in the neck to find out what to do with the new directory, I ended up just removing all together.  So I ask you, should I reinstall or not to solve this problem with 'open with...

• HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reinstall Vista premium edition

  I have a new computer, clean my registry, and something has been deleted which was not supposed to.    Now, my computer accepts no updates at all. aid coulum says I need to reinstall windows vista premium to fix. Pretty simple.  problem is when I got my new PC out of the box, vista is already installed and the product key is on the side of my Tower. There is no disk that I can remember, and now I'm naïve what to do.    I really want to spend another $ 150, I don't have, something that I wouldn't really need. Is it possible to reinstall vista online if I can prove it is mine and noone elses?         Help, please!

  Most new computers come with a version of Vista recovery on a partition of your hard drive.

  You need to read the documentation that came with your computer to find out how to start the recovery.

  Normally you have to press a button or two while the computer starts up, then ask if you want to restore the computer to factory settings.

  Note If you do this will delete EVERYTHING on your hard drive (just what you put on the computer SINCE you bought it).

  If this is not available contact the company you purchased the computer turned off and ask them for a set of recorvery CD / DVD.

  One last thing.

  DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

  In fact

  DO NOT PLAY WITH THE REGISTRY. FULL STOP.

• Reinstalled Vista. The windows is genuine, but I don't have the activation code. What should I do?

  I bought the laptop in 2006. The windows is genuine, but I don't have the activation code. What should I do? I installed vista and because I had no code after about 4 weeks it will stop.

  Original title: old Dell laptop broke down.

  Hello

  You can contact Dell and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  If this method has not been destroyed by the last re - install, and if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  With a Dell, you press F8 at startup and follow the instructions

  http://www.Dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?docid=266618

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.

A friend used machine desk top to try the new HARD drive. Loaded Vista of a genuine Microsoft disk without problem. I'm a novice, but I guess it's a "simple" problem (I hope)' can someone help me please. I don't know what to do next. (new HARD drive has been verified by an audit of seagate program - all OK)

  Hello

  Why don't borrow you Microsoft Vista DVD your companion to reinstall on your machine, IF it's a Microsoft DVD, not a DELL, HP, DVD etc.

  It's a legal way to do it.

  You can 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.
