Reinstall XP on Satellite A100 without CD

• Re: Reinstalling operating system on Satellite A100 without deleting the other existing partition

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-912 and have not reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP) for several years, but now I think that my laptop works well below par. I have my product recovery CD (disk recovery) and it will use for the re-installation.

  I have three partitions on the HARD disk (c, d and e, respectively).

  I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  I did this on a Toshiba Satellite L10 using suggestions in this forum, but I don't know how to do it on my own. Is the user interface for the recovery/re-resettlement is not the same thing, so I'm afraid to lose my data if I proceed with the re-install without knowing what to do.

  Could you please say on how to make the re-installation of operating system only on the c partition without deleting (data on) other existing partitions.

  Thank you!

  > I was wandering if it would be possible to reinstall (get as long as the factory) my operating system on the c partition without erasing the data (for example my files) on partitions d and e.

  No, this is not possible. The recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and therefore the partitions created on the HARD drive would be so removed.
  I recommend you to create a backup of the files before starting the recovery procedure.

• Bluetooth not working not not after reinstalling Win XP - Satellite A100-712

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite A100-712. He took BT BT worked perfectly before reinstalling windows. I reinstalled windows using the original Toshiba Recovery CD. After you have reinstalled, BT is no longer working. Monitor of BT icon does not appear. When I swicht BT on (Fn + F8 or "manual switch on the lid of the laptop) it starts installing bluetooth. But the installation progress bar stops at some point and that's all. I tried waiting etc, but nothing helped.
  You can only cancel the instalation.

  I tried several versions of BT software, but even with the original - provided on the recovery CD, it doesn't. I am attaching the screenshot. As far as I know, the problem is quite common, but I have found no satisfactory solution...

  I hope you can help me with this!

  p. s.

  the screenshot says: installation of the BT device. Please wait...

  Hello

  You are right. The A100-712 supports Bluetooth without a doubt.
  Then you should be able to install the BT stack correctly.

  As mentioned; BT can be activated properly using FN + F8 and installation starts as well, but he does not terminate
  Hmm I'm not quite sure what could cause this but maybe his problem of m system software.
  I think it is to recover the laptop once more
  Activate BT, then check if the progress bar would begin and could complete the installation.

• Using the Satellite A100 without battery

  My laptop Satellite A100, the battery is almost dead. Is it bad to use the computer like this?
  Should I remove the battery and use the computer? When using on current alternative computer runs slowly when the battery does not work.

  Thank you

  > Should I remove the battery and use the computer?
  You can do it if you want
  > When using on current alternative computer runs slowly when the battery does not work.
  Performance laptop has nothing to do with food but with parameters.
  I don't know what operating system you use, but if you have Vista, you can switch between the different profiles and each of them has different performance level.
  If you use it for normal work set for the balanced profile. If you require full performance of high power Performance set plan.

  You can remove the battery and continue using your laptop as usual.

• How to recover the Satellite A100 without recovery disk

  Hi all

  I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 settings * without * a restore CD via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

  It is really unfortunate, I know it can be done as I did before butI for the life of me forgotten what was this key sequence I can't find the article I stumbled initially on!

  I've scoured the web looking for this key sequence and all the proposed solutions, I fell on do not seem to work.

  Unsuccessful attempts so far:
  -Press and hold 0 power
  -various suggest 'F' keys: F1, F8, F10
  -now the delete key

  Note: I guess it may be worth mentioning that pressing F8 actually take me on-screen "start options advanced windows" but I don't have any recovery options.

  Yeh Yes, I'd * extremely * grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here because it makes me crazy... the fact that I've done this before, it that much worse!

  As I know the A100 series has not been fitted with the recovery of HARD drive partition!
  And so I doubt that any combination of keys will start the partition recovery!

  So you only chance to recover the laptop is to take the recovery disk, then boot from it.
  You can also try to install the disk Microsoft Windows operating system and then could install the drivers of Toshiba on the pilot site of Toshiba!

  See you soon

• How to reinstall windows without losing any data on the Satellite A100

  Hello everyone!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop and would like to reinstall Windows. The disc was divided into 2 parts. WinXp Home is installed on the first.

  What happens with the data on the secondary disk if I use the recovery CD? It will be formatted?
  And if this is the case, how can I reinstall winXP Home without losing the data on the second drive?

  You can install the OS on the first partition only and all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted. To do this procedure of departure recovery and after choosing the language button tablecloth call SETUP. It is placed on the right side.

  If I like what you must remember he chose the second option. The first one can be used when you want to create the new partition (DO NOT choose this one).

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

  I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

  The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

  If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

  If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
  If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
  If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

  As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
  But it will light if the battery is connected.

  The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
  If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

  I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!

• Power without the grounding on the Satellite A100-02 b

  Hello

  is there any supplys power to my Satellite A100-02 b without grounding?
  I need such a diet because when I use my laptop with a sound I hear noises if my power is connected. So I think it's because of the grounding.

  Thank you
  Matze92

  Hello

  I guess you have a power supply with a cable attached to the wall, which has three connectors. To get one without this additional grounding, you must ask a partner of service authorized in your country. Here´s a link where you can find the nearest who could help you, since a few months toshiba releases only the new adapters with the additional grounded.

• Satellite A100 - configuration of the monitor without software

  I need help!

  I almost tried to configure my monitor, but I don't understand.
  I am a passionate photographer, that's why I need to make a configuration of my monitor to get best results when my photos are printed.

  Does anyone know how to change the color and contrast of my monitor?
  I know there is some kind of software to make it easier, but I don't have the money to purchase some.

  Is there no alternative to the configuration without any type of software?

  Thanks a lot for your help! :-)

  Hello

  I do not know what Satellite A100 you exactly and what graphics card is integrated, but please check advanced display settings. There you can find different settings and also with the color settings tab.

• How to set the Satellite A100-596 to factory without Recovery DVD settings

  I gave my young niece of my old laptop A100-596 for Christmas.
  It worked perfectly on Christmas Eve I packed it upward, in packing of origin, but at the time my niece connected on it has lost 40 GB of data among the drives C and E - everything E drive and the dvd drive had stopped working!

  Now, no one has any explanation for what is happening, nor any reason why a laptop that has performed flawlessly for 18 months would suddenly lose 3/4 of the data on it, but whatever!

  So now I want to restore it to factory, but without a job settings dvd, how? I have all disks involved in perfect condition!
  In addition, I want to fool proof so it can be retrieved in case the person or nothing damaged, this time he cannot repeat the action.

  So I think that if I partition the hard drive so that the recovery of files is accessible by me with a password, which I will NOT share with any of the children, if they bumble once again, then I will be able to recover.

  Moreover, even restoring the system files have disappeared, so I can't even it roll back to a working condition!

  Any advice?

  Hello

  You wrote so much and I think it's the best we descuss all questions slowly.

  I don't know what you mean under non-working DVDs. Is the drive defective optical drive or media DVD is not readable?

  Anyway, the fact is that if you want to have the factory again settings you must install operating system using Toshiba DVD recovery. If you don't have it you can do clean OS installation using the Microsoft DVD facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads.

  When you use recovery media Toshiba HARD whole disc will be erased. Absolutely everything. All data and partitions.
  What you want to do with recovering data unfortunately will not work. You cannot copy the recovery image and start it from the other partitions. Not on Satellite A100.

  On new A300, something like this is possible because the recovery image is stored on the second partition in folder HDDRecovery.

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

I contacted moduslink but received no help from them. I want to know is can I upgrade to vista without using the toshiba disk?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-998 with Windows XP Professional with the Media Center. the upgrade is for vista professional. Any advice on this issue would be welcome!

  Thank you

  Hello

  I m a bit confused that CD or DVD is defective?
  The received Vista DVD or the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  To my knowledge the received CD of Vista upgrades the old Toshiba XP to Vista so I think you have to pass the original picture Toshiba XP for Vista

• Satellite A100-766 cannot function without battery AC is plugged

  Hello

  I have two problems with the battery of my laptop Satellite A100-766.
  The first is that the laptop can run without the battery, when it is connected to the AC.
  Is this normal?

  The second is that when the battery is in the laptop and it connected to AC, battery discharge again.
  She charges only if the laptop is turned off.
  Do I have to change my battery or the problem is more serious?

  Thanks for your help.

  > The first is that the laptop can run without the battery, when it is connected to the AC.

  This certainly isn't a common behavior of mobile.

  You will need to contact the ASP and technicians should check the AC adaptor first.
  Eventually, there is only one problem with you external AC adapter or battery.
  If malfunctions of AC adapter that can not load the battery s and the laptop cannot operate without the battery.
  On the other hand a battery problem would also be possible

  That is why a call to an ASP and ask for later handling

• How to reinstall media player express on Satellite A100-683?

  For some stupid reason, I managed to format the partition that contains the media express the player.

  I really think that I have ever received a recovery cd or I lost it in a mather of seconds after I bought my Satellite A100-683 in 2006.

  Never the less: I want this program back so I called the technical assistance service. They have managed to tell me that they cannot provide me with a recovery disk because it contained the program note only Microsoft (and Microsoft does not allow redistribution more this program).

  My questions, subject that has been media express player and if they had any suggestions where to look for the software, went unanswered.

  So my question is:
  Can someone give me please with software that reinstalls express MediaPlayer in its Linux partition on the hard drive of my laptop?

  > I really think that I have ever received a recovery cd or I lost it in a mater of seconds after I bought my Satellite A100-683 in 2006.

  Have goggled a bit that has found that this laptop was certainly delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD and the CD Express Media Player.
  So, I think that you lost!

  > I want this program to go back so I called the technical assistance service. They have managed to tell me that they can t give me a recovery disk because it contained the Microsoft program single note (and Microsoft doesn t allow a redistribution of this program).

  AFAIK the OneNote has been installed on the Toshiba Recovery CD but the Express Media Player has been on the external CD. So it should not be bundled with the software OneNote.

  > So my question is: can someone please provide me with a software that reinstalls express MediaPlayer in its Linux partition on the hard drive of my laptop?
  Unfortunately, I n t think someone can do the official Toshiba forum isn't a platform of Exchange software ;)

  Do as described by Ilay. use a Microsoft disc to install Windows System. The drivers are available for download from the Toshiba driver page.
