Satellite 1900-102 how to restore XP CD without a recovery Cd?

Hello

I'm looking for a solution to my problems.

I would format XP Home / or return to the initial configuration and at the end to make a dual-boot with a distribution of linux (Fedora or Ubuntu).
But I have no cd/dvd recovery or XP installation cd and I can not buy mediabackup online.

How can I do? Is it possible to format HARD drive with another XP cd that I was coming home from a relative/friend? Is it possible to format with an OEM - XP cd?
Is it possible to get the Toshiba help or not?

Thanks for your help.

You need a Setup disk if you want to install a Windows XP operating system.
Unfortunately, the laptop seems to be very old and I don t think you will be able to order a recovery disc, you will need to purchase the Microsoft Win XP.

After Installing Win XP boot, you can download all the drivers for this laptop from Toshiba's European driver page. The drivers are located in the archives. (on page Toshiba European pilot, in product type click Archive instead of the laptop)

  • Satellite 1900-102 and tv out

    I'm not able to get my tv-out from the satellite 1900-102. I think he's sending NTSC, but I don't know how to change it to PAL.

    Hi Henkoo

    There are 2 possible places to fix this.
    The configuration of the BIOS or the videodriver.
    I don't know which is the right one for your model, but the easiest is to first check the BIOS.
    When you feed the machine, you will see a Toshiba logo for almost 2 seconds. While the logo is visible, you can press F2 to enter the BIOS setup and make a turn. If you feel uncertain when to go, please just read the explanatory text and be careful when you press the buttons. Normally you should not be able to do any "harm" to the system when you are.

    If you can't find the PAL/NTSC setting in the BIOS, start your machine and make adjustments in the videodriver.
    Right click on the desktop and choose "settings". From there it is probably pretty simple.

  • Upgrade satellite 1900-102, hard drive

    Hello... My laptop is a toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a 20 GB hard drive. I would like to ask if I can upgrade the hard drive with another model and not the classic toshiba MK * 18GAP. Is it OK to use a hard drive from another provider? I want to use a Hitachi drive, which is less expensive, but it will be compatible?
    Thanks in advance!

    Don't know anything about Hitachi, but what speaks against an exchange of hard drive?
    The most important is the measures of the hard drive.
    As for the ability I can just tell you that we have a Satellite of 1900 with 30 concerts running

  • Satellite 1900-102: power management utility installs in XP SP2

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone has encountered thi problem before:

    I had to uninstall the Toshiba power management utility (version 1.3 for the Satellite 1900 102 running XP SP2). When I tried to re - install the installer launches and I get a message saying "Invalid Handle" followed by the error "unable to install this version of the utility of toshiba to your system power management" and Setup stops.

  • Satellite 1900-102 BIOS necessary

    Hello

    It s very rare that the BIOS is damaged after the attack of virus.
    But however the BIOS you will find on the Toshiba site.

    PS: you should first try to recover the operating system before starting any procedure to upgrade the BIOS

  • Update hard disk for Satellite 1900 102

    Hi all

    I used to work with a Toshiba Satellite 1900 102 since July 2002 and March my hard drive has stopped working (maybe it was time).
    Where can I buy records 2.5 "that this series of satellites can be supported?

    What is the maximum capacity (in GB) laptop that recognizes the old man?

    Thanks for all your help!

    Hello

    2.5 hard drives can be bought anywhere I think then, either you contact an authorized service provider or you visit your favorite computer store.

    I think that the Satellite 1900 limits the 28-bit LBA. This would mean that the size of the HARD disk is limited to 128 GB. The maximum capacity is 120 GB that you can use, but I think that 80 GB would be enough according to your amount of files you want to save on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions please let us know! :)

  • XP display for Satellite 1900-102 driver

    Hello

    I'm looking for a display driver for my old Toshiba Satellite 1900 102.

    After Installing Win XP Pro, a generic driver for ATI Mobility Radeon was automatically installed, and it is not working properly.

    Refreshing window is very slow and impossible to manage or configure.

    I'm trying to find it but it seems impossible to me.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Vito

    Hello

    > Refreshing window is very slow and impossible to manage or configure
    The problem is that a graphics driver has not been installed and the Win operating system uses own common Microsoft driver.

    To resolve this problem, you must install the graphics driver of the European driver Toshiba page.

    To find the page of the European driver follow this path;
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

    You have to search the ARCHIVES!

    Good luck

  • Upgrade hard drive satellite 1900 102

    I want to upgrade to the HD of my Satellite 1900 102 because of the original HD 20 GB is small.
    Can what type of HD Toshiba I use? 2.5 "or 1.8" too?
    Toshiba MK1234GAX 2.5 "120GB HD is compatible with my laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Two years ago I had Satellite 1900-703. Beautiful peace of hardware isn t it? On this laptop, you can use HDD 2.5 only. 1.8 HARD disk is used by ultra-thin laptops as some models of the Portege.

    To be honest 120 GB is a little too much for this good old classic and I'm sure that it won't wok. If I'm that much memory my Satellite was delivered with 40 GB. Maybe 60 or even 80 GB HDD can work with this laptop but 120 GB. I'm quite skeptical that it will work.

  • I get a Toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a default card mother work

    Does anyone have a default Toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a card mother work and is willing to sell?

    Or does anyone know where to find that?

    Hi Erdl,

    I think this is the wrong forum to ask questions about buying used and portable defects! I understand toshiba as well as this forum is only for technical user to help!

    In my opinion, you will have more luck at ebay or used equipment selling home pages!

    Sorry

    If your goal is to reinstall the operating system there are ways to achieve

    We need to tap the F11 key immediately after presswing the laptop power button. Who will call the Recovery Manager unless you have deleted the recovery partition or have done something to the original disk partition scheme. In the Recovery Manager simply choose to recover your PC for the original operating system

    Alternatively, you can order a set of HP recovery disks.
