Satellite 2590cdt questions in "log".

Hello
Found an old satellite 2590cdt, it includes 95 Microsoft system disk.
But with difficulties to operate (had the user manual, but it didn't help me). When I turn it on, without the inserted disk, it says:

Insert system disk in drive.
Press a key when you are ready.

I insert the disk and press ENTER.

Then it shows: from Windows 95
Microsoft Windows 95 (R)
(copyright Microsoft Corp. 1981-1995)

A:\ >

That type then? Everything I type in, it will display messages:

Bad command or filename
A:\ >

Anyone any idea what to type in? Is this perhaps a password? If so, how can I get around it. I don't have any other cd or diskette which came with her orginal. Thanks for your help already.

Hello

I explain it:

the disc you have is NO installation media. It s just a startup disk and the "A: >" you saw is NOT a logon screen. " It s invites "MS-DOS" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS) where you can type the DOS commands.
Since you have no other support, you won´t be able to install an operating system, because you need one * WINDOWS 95 disk set * or * installation Windows 95 CD *.

"Bad command or file name" means that the command entered you´ve was not recognized because MS-DOS has limited command set.

BACK is a very old system and I suggest you to install linux on this machine or just throw it in the trash. The old lady probably had a wonderful life. Let it go... ;)

Welcome them

  • Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

    Hello

    I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

    So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
    If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

    Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure

  • Satellite P770 - Question on backup partition

    Hello
    first of all, I'm not really sure that I am in the right section, I apologize if I am not!
    Then, my English not is really good when it comes to computering, so forgive me again :)

    So, I have a Toshiba Satellite P770 and I know that there is some kind of partition backup, I already used it, (last night) because I wanted to clean t.

    Then I realized that the partitions are not as I wanted them to be, so I chose the option where I can format the entire hard drive (2x500Go, took about 2 hours for each of them) after that, I tried to use this "secret partition" install everything back.
    The problem is that when I press F8 when I turn on the laptop, I get an error message:
    "Reboot and select proper boot device."
    "or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

    I would like to know if I've already screwed up, and I can't use this backup partition that was provided with the laptop.
    If I can, how can I do it? I don't know how to select the proper boot device...

    Thanks for your help!

    I'm afraid you have ruined all of Mr. is typical of many people who play with the laptop before they read s manuals where is recommended creation of backup called recovery DVDs DVD.

    You may have this?

    Anyway, recovery disc HARD OS install (from the recovery partition) can work if the structure of the partitions is not modified and portable has factory settings.
    Now, if you want to have once again the factory settings, you must use the recovery DVDs. If you didn t create that you must buy an and it can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite R830: Question about power for battery usage options

    Hello world

    I recently bought a R830-182 (detailed configuration below).
    I had to update Windows 7 Home Premium Ultimate because I need to use it on my university network.

    My University gives us an upgrade to windows 7 ultimate edition, but I had to do a clean install (from inside Windows 7 Home Edition, copy the upgrade you can do).
    The key, with what they gave me would not work with the Windows anytime upgrade utility.

    I think that I have installed everything that I need to get the laptop to work, but I'm not sure of the configuration of the battery. The cooling fan seems to be always on, and when the battery reaches 100% charge that he also said that he is in charge.

    My questions are:
    1. is there another program I have to install to allow the computer manage settings of the battery?
    2. do I need to change some settings in the power options?
    3 should. what settings I change in power options?

    Any help would be welcome

  • Satellite Z930 - question on Win8 SSD partitions

    Just got the new Z930 satellite with the following 128 GB SSD partitions

    450 MB recovery partition
    260 MB EFI system partition *.
    9.66 Gb recovery partition
    Primary partition 8 GB *.
    100.76 GB boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition *.

    Only those that are marked with * are allowed to be deleted using the windows disk management tool.

    I'm assuming that the 8 GB partition is the recovery for a factory restore media. I intend on creating recovery media of course USB (9Gbrequired according to the creator of recovery media - 16 Gb USB recommended). Delete this partition, and then expand the main partition.

    Questions:

    1. someone knows what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    2. What is the EFI partition for?

    3. it is curious that if you take 4 GB (what the file hibernation for 6 GB of RAM should be) the 9.66 5,66 remaining and the score of 8 GB are basically the same size as the main 13.5 GB partition reported here for the z930 portege. Why Toshiba would squirrel away from the recovery media as well as space for hibernation? A way to recover the full 13.5 GB asmentioned in the z930 portege post?

    Thanks in advance

    > 1. Anyone know what is the 9.66 GB partition and why it cannot be deleted? Possibly put into hibernation linked, but why 9.66 when there are only 6 GB of RAM installed (which would make the hibernation 4 GB partition)

    I guess that the 9.66 GB partition called recovery partition is created for HARD drive recovery.
    You can retrieve the laptop using recovery of HARD drive and does not require recovery or recovery USB memory stick drive.
    But I wouldn't delete this partition because you will lose the ability to recover the HARD drive recovery unit

    > 2. What is the EFI partition for?
    EFi partition contains the program loader initialization for all the operating systems (in other partitions) on the HARD disk. If don t touch.

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your DVD burner if it can burn DVD-R or DVD + R.
    If the burner doesn't support DVD + is so it is not possible to burn this DVD.
    What burning software did you use?
    I use Nero burning software and I m very happy

  • Re: Satellite L750-Question about a data Partition

    L750 HARD disk is divided as follows:

    Drive C: 232 GB
    D drive: 233 GB (recovered files)
    System:?

    I'm not sure, if drive D is the one where do I place my own data, why must the files of recovery that probably should be in a separate partition. Can I create a new partition in the disk D for my own personal data that I don't want to place it with the recovery files in case they are accidentally deleted?

    In addition, I don't want to put my data on the C drive.

    > I'm not sure if drive D is where should I place my own data...
    Why not? What is the problem? Why is - what are irritated you with existing collection case here?
    I n t have Satellite L750 but if you can see folder HDDRecovery there you can set it to be hidden and you see it, but it will always be there. After doing this, you will not be able to accidentally erase.
    >... Why does have the files for recovery that probably should be in a separate partition.
    It doesn't have to be on a separate partition.
    > Can I create a new partition in the disk D for my own personal data that I don't want to place it with the recovery files in case they are accidentally deleted?
    There no sense to create a third partition if you already have the second partition D. use this partition to save all the data of a personal nature. I do the same.

    By the way: s user guides described document that you must create recovery DVDs. This recovery with the recovery image DVDs can be used for installing the OS. In General, after the creation of recovery disks, you can even remove data recovery. Don t move anywhere data recovery. Result may be that you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  • Satellite A40: Question about product dvd recovery

    Hello

    Please help me on my computer toshiba Satellite A40 laptop...
    I want to reformat my HARD drive with operating system XP...

    My first question is, it installs my XP OS after that I run the recovery cd?
    I'm afraid that after I run the recovery cd, I'll lose my OS XP...

    I don't have an XP CD... I only got this product recovery cd (disc1)

    There a disc2 because the cd that I got was just disc1...

    Please help me with this...
    Thank you

    Restore CD contains recovery image. Recovery image include the operating system, drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

    When you install recovery image you own preinstalled WXP. For cell old models were most two disks: 1/2 and 2/2 so if you the second you will not be able to install the OS completely.

  • Satellite L855 - question about charging battery

    Hello!
    I have the Satellite L855-188. I have a question. My rating is at home, almost everytime. So how do I load it? Can I use it when it is still connected to electricity? Or sometimes I have to disconnect?

    In General, you can do whatever you want. For example, my laptop is connected to the power adapter, and I use it every day. What you can do is to use from time to time with battery power supply. Just extend the empty battery and reconnect it to the power running. Do it once a week.

    > Can I use, when it is still connected to electricity?
    Yes.
    > Or sometimes I have to disconnect?
    In general you should not do, but you can do it from time to time.

  • Satellite 4090xcdt / question about CPU upgading & batteries

    Hello

    I just joined the forum. Looks really good.

    I inherited a satellite 4090xcdt (PAS409EYX-ENX). He had 4 gig ' ish HDD, Celeron CPU (300 or 400 MHZ?), 64 MB of RAM and win 98.

    me and my boyfriend has replaced the HARD drive with 80 GB model (the original was on his last breath), upgrade of RAM as it could by adding a key to 256 MB to the current 64 MB.

    It helps a lot and allows us to run Win XP Home and now added a wireless card.

    2 questions.

    I can get a Celron M 700 MHz processor - I can it whack in the 4090xcdt?

    Is there a good source cheapish of spare batteries - as the mounted one, last about 5 minutes when it is turned off!

    Thnaks for the search - any help appreciated.

    Hello

    OK, I studied a little and it seems that this laptop has an Intel Celeron 400 MhZ CPU.
    To my knowledge it s not advisable to replace the CPU s on the laptop. Some CPU is soldered on the Board.
    Of course, I read some reviews on the replacement of the CPU, and some people were able to replace or upgrade. BUT laptop computers did not work properly. Sometimes, don t cooling modules work or BIOS have had problems with the APCI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
    In my opinion you shouldn't do it! Perhaps you may also damage the motherboard.

    Well, you should also always use the Toshiba battery recommended. A bad battery can damage the laptop. As far as I know the battery on this laptop should have these properties:
    Lithium Li-ion 10,8 V, 3, 600 mAh, reference number: PA2487U

    You should be able to buy these batteries in every store of the laptop. Of course, you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country. Here, you can order the original.

  • Satellite A200 - Question on the reference numbers

    I have a Satellite A200-221 (PSAE3E) motherboard is faulty. I sent him the public support of Toshiba and they confirmed that the motherboard is faulty and I had to buy a new one. It was too expensive, so I don't let them fix my laptop.

    Now, I've seen on ebay a motherboard which is the model that I need (THE ILHAM - 3481P) but I don't know if it fits, because the part of the processor number is not the same as mine. Mine is K000058130. Card mother eBay is K000057340.

    Which replace Council mine perfectly faulty motherboard?

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    I'm a little confused about your ad Mr. why you speak a number of CPU if you need a new card of mother?

    In any case, here it s a user forum. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me here. These questions about reference numbers can be answered to an authorized service because they have access to all the databases of Toshiba.

  • Satellite A30 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

    My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

    I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

    I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

    The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

  • Satellite A100 - Questions about slow start, not in the DMA mode CD drivers

    Hi all

    as you can see I have 3 questions:

    1. my Satellite A100-153 starts very slowly (current running avira antivir and sunbelt pfw only like on my other laptop which is older than this one, but not slow start)-anyone has any idea why (I would be very gratefull because I don't have reinstall win and all my stuff)?

    2 Nero tells me that my CD is not running in DMA mode - where can I check and fix this?

    3. drivers - am I forced the drivers supported on this site or can I use the drivers directly from the manufacturer (ATI for my graphics card, Intel for my chipset realtek for my sound and so on)?

    Help is welcome!

    Hello

    For me, it will be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Anyway, I'll try to give my short opinion on your questions:

    -many other factors may be responsible for slow start. It is usually the OS configuration. I'll try to find an interesting article, how to make faster starting and I will post it here for you.

    --entrer enter in the device IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Manager, enter the properties for secondary IDE chanel and open the Advanced Settings tab. Is under transfer mode DMA if available? If this isn't the case, set it to please and after reboot check if the problem persists. DMA if available is usually defined as a default value.

    -In general, you can use it but it is well known that manufacturers of graphics card don't support mobile graphics cards and laptop manufacturers are responsible for.

    I recommend you to use the Toshiba drivers only. All of these drivers are put to the test.

    Good bye
