Satellite 5100: Driver CD does not work to recover the operating system

My laptop Satellite 5100 did not work today. The whole system broke down, and I can not open any program. I want to recover my system but my CD driver does not work, I can not use the recovery CD to run the system.

What should I do? Can I replace a new CD by myself? Is there another way to recover the system without the CD driver?

Thank you very much and I look forward to hear from you.

Hello Bingping :D (Lazy nickname)

Well, first of all you are sure that the drive is dead or it of just not possible to boot from the recovery CD?
Press the C key immediately after booting laptop (by pressing the power button) to boot from the CD drive.

If it doesn t work so try to boot from the original Windows CD. Perhaps the Toshiba Recovery CD is damage. But if it is not possible to boot from a CD so I would say that the reader has a malfunction.

Of course you can replace the car yourself. It of not very difficult, but you must be careful. Not every drive is compatible. The caught player support, you can order the Toshiba ASP in your country.

    Hello!

    Help solve the problem,

    Computer laptop A665 - 12 k connected via bluetooth devices, bluetooth Manager finds the device, but do not connect it gives an error 'Cannot find the remote service' before you reinstall windiws solved similar problems 7. Did you reinstall driver broadcom, resettlement (ver.8, ver.9) bluetooth stack, clean the registry, windows 7 the relocation does not contribute to what either.. .Please help!

    Hello

    I recommend you to check the services that are running in the background.
    The point is that if BT service is not running or is not enabled, the BT connection cannot be established.

    To check the service appointment on: Control Panel-> administration-> computer management tools
    or you can directly open the Services' list by typing services.msc command in RUN or Start Menu search box.

    No, you will get a list of available services. Search for services called Bluetooth and activate this service by double-click a service and select the option you want.

    Then try to reactivate the BT using the FN + F8 key combination

    Hello

    It seems that what he is an American unit and was designed specially for the American market.

    But have you used the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    If this isn't the case, then you must install all the drivers Toshiba and utilities in the correct order.
    Chipset utility
    common modules
    graphic driver
    etc.

    The FN keys supports different function. To use these options, you will need several drivers. For example, use the FN + F5 (the display switching), to the Toshiba Hotkey Utility to display the devices & Toshiba display device change Utility and toggle the Touchpad to install Toshiba Touchpad enable/disable utility

    As you can see it good drivers are needed. Please visit the Toshiba us and download the right driver for this laptop

  • Satellite A60 overheating - not possible to recover the operating system

    Hey there,

    I'm almost certain I have a hardware problem with my Toshiba A60. Explorer.exe has stopped running, doing system restore helped for a while, but he just kept happening again. System Restore loses all its points of restore, safe mode did not help at all. I managed to back up everything and went to the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    He managed to kill everything on my internal hard drive (or at least enough that it no longer starts), but effective recovery program only happens to about 12% then goes to a black screen, it's the same thing if I try to use expert mode on the recovery CD. Also, the laptop overheats a lot. I am so sure that it's a hardware problem.

    In any case, according to the website my warranty expired 08/2005. I just wanted to know if there is any way I can contact Toshiba? Most of the companies at least listen to you if they sold you a product that overheats and breaks (even if he does that the expiration of the warranty).

    Yet, it was the closest I could find on a "Contact us" page (other than the all-in-one phone number). Even if I can't get it fixed for free I wanted to know if there was any kind of paid service. Can I get any help? With the contacting Toshiba, I have not the strength to try something new with my laptop now that he can only boot from a CD and that done correctly.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I contacted Toshiba service partner in my country if I had a problem with my laptop. I think you should also ask the authorized assistance service provider. Don t contact one of Toshiba because most of the time, go to the point service.

    I found this link that will help you find the right provider in your country:

    But if you laptop overheating then you should check the cooling modules, if there is no dust or / and debris. Especially books of overheating because the cooling modules will not twist correctly and the air circulation is compromised.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Wireless does not work after restoring from HARD drive

    After that restore disks for installing a new HD and use and to update XP sp2, the Wireless does not work and if the card is installed XP hangs then works in fits and starts. If the card not in place, not bad at all.

    Booting from a Linux CD, the card works perfectly! I assume that the driver is the problem. The wireless card is the original, an Agere MPC13A-20/R, with Toshiba p/n PA317U-1MPC.

    I have found some drivers Agere, but am not sure

    (1) if they are correct
    (2) how to install since the machine works in a way limited with the card in place.

    Any advice?

    Hello

    I checked the page of the pilot and the only available for Windows XP WLan driver is the driver of v.1.11.108 Agere.

    (1) just try to install this driver. If the driver is not correct or is not compatible, then windows will not install the driver and you will receive a notification. You just have to try

    (2) generally you may reinstall the driver from the Device Manager. Open network controller tree, and then you can reinstall the driver.

    But this is only possible if the windows started successfully

    PS: Have you checked the information of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    I discovered that you need to update several utilities if you have installed SP2 on this laptop.

    Any tip?

    First check the status of the sound card in Device Manager.
    If there is a yellow climbing brand then you should try to reinstall the driver. (first remove it and after reboot, install a new)

    Have you checked the volume setting and the site of laptop? Eventually he s a very simple idea, but believe me, I read many comments here in the forum and a lot of guys forget this option simply.

  • Satellite M40: Hibernation Mode does not work

    Hi all

    My satellite M40 does Hibernate. If I choose the Hibernate function, my screen tells me that the laptop is in hibernation. But then after that it is not closed in hibernation, not he again! I can't Hibernate! Sleep mode functions! A few days ago I had uninstalled by mistake "common modules", but then I reinstalled it. Could someone tell me what drivers are needed for the hibernation?

    Is this a driver problem? And why Windows checks my HD every other time I start my laptop. I found no other problems then the hibernation and verification of the HD. Do I have to uninstall all the Toshiba drivers, including common modules and reinstall all the new? It would solve my problem? Or should I just try with a BIOS update!

    Best regards and thanks for your help!
    YLS

    Hello

    I think that the resettlement of the damaged common modules might be a reason why hibernation doesn t work properly.
    To my knowledge, the common modules are very important for the good condition of all Toshiba Utilities market.
    The Toshiba Power Saver controls standby and hibernation. So I guess it's also the common modules.
    But the common modules must be installed in a first time prior to installation of other public services.

    It s very strange that the Windows checks each time you HDD. It seems that there are corrupted files or sectors on the HARD disk. Maybe that's why hibernation doesn't work because the hibernation saves the State on disk.

    However, the new installation of operating system from the recovery CD Toshiba should solve your problem, but before you begin installation you need to make the backup of all your data and files.

    PS: first try the chkdsk/r option. This should repair the bad sectors on the HARD disk. Maybe you do not need to reinstall the operating system.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Satellite M200 Flash card does not work?

    My new laptop Toshiba M200 (works on Vista) continues to display an error message that my Flash card does not work and that the system is looking for solutions.

    Other threads in this forum, I understand it could be a driver problem, but there seems to be no suitable driver available for download for my M200 model.

    Who can help me?

    Thank you

    Hello

    When you reference the Flash card, I assume you mean the utility toshiba Flash Cards. in this case, I would say that you reinstall (i.e., uninstall and then reinstall) relevant Toshiba Value added Package for your laptop model. to locate the relevant Toshiba VAP, visit your regional toshiba driver. This should solve your problem, such as cards Flash requires the installation of files for your Fn + F keys (for example by pressing Fn + F6/F7 fades and lights up the screen), so I think that Vista is looking for solutions as the Fn keys could be involved. After installation, you can disable the startup Flash cards when the computer starts up, but do not uninstall the toshiba VAP.

    This should help your question

  • Satellite P500-1CK - WIFI does not work

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite P500-1CK with Windows 7 64 bit. Cause I don't need, I replaced it with Windows 7 32 bit and now my WIFI does not work.

    I tried many drivers, Toshiba drivers and Realtek drivers, old and new versions. Installed and uninstalled them again and again. But it does not work. In the Device Manager, there is no error and no question mark. The map will be displayed as a RTL 8191SE, it's true. I've identified the vendor & device ID also.
    The other FN keys works like a charm, but FN + F8 does not appear. The wireless switch is active and the led is orange.

    When I type "cmd" then "ipconfig/all" it will be only shown the PCI Atheros Gigabit Adapter with the IP address, but not the adapter WLAN of Realtek.

    Searched Google @ and spend hours and hours, but I am at my wits end... Please help me.

    funthomas22

    Hi funthomas22,

    And this doesn t work exactly?

    You see a WLAN in range?
    Have you looked for WLAN networks?
    Can you connect to WIFI networks?

    A point would be interesting: can you try the same thing with preinstalled Windows 7 64 bits instead of your own 32-bit installation?
    Therefore, use the recovery disk Toshiba to restore the version of the OS preinstalled. You will have a pre-tested Toshiba Windows 7 installation where everything should work properly.

  • Update of Vista 32 bit does not work after replacing the hard drive

    A month ago the hard drive of my computer (ACER Aspire 6920) had to be replaced. The disk image hard precedent (which includes the c: with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP 2 build 6002) has been mirrored to the new hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed that I don't have more updates from Microsoft. I tried a manual update and got the message that the update service was not working and I have to restart the computer. However, the Task Manager showed that the update service has been executed. Of course, I rebooted the computer, but nothing has changed.

    I found a whole bunch of recommendations for this issue in this forum, but nothing seems to work:

    • The Microsoft FixIT tool indicates a problem with the update of components, and then said that the problem had been solved successfully. However, the problem is still there and rerun the FixIt tool Gets the same message on a problem (yet) found and fixed.
    • I also stopped the update service, delete all content in Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and restarted the service. without success.
    • I've temporarily disabled my security suite (Eset Smart Security 6) and tried the update. I also have fittings the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to the scope of the antivirus, without success. On the old hard drive, I used a different security suite so I thought that maybe the ESET (that I installed everything recently) could be the cause of the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    • I also followed the instructions provided by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, but again, no change at all. However, it should be noted that registering some DLLs that Microsoft listed does not work (message that the DLL is not found or some server entry point (my translation, I'm using the German UI and don't know English good term; sorry) could not be found.)

    Http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 , I found another tool that supposedly can solve some problems of updating; I downloaded the version for Vista 32-bit, but it cannot install it on my computer (error code = 0xc8000247 during installation).

    So I'm really lost now what else to do. I would appreciate any suggestions. Please note that I am not technically very warned :)

    ARG, apologies.

    Was not aware that they had dropped support for Vista... (I myself have 'graduated' Vista earlier)

    The fact that you have not already installed TSRI is exactly your problem.

    Recent hard drives using 'Sectors 4 K', also known as 'Advanced Format Technology'.

    If the installed hard disk driver currently is not compatible with this specification,

    It will result in oddities like the status of the service Windows Update is not recognized correctly.

    Installation TSRI will fix this in most cases.

    Alternatively, if you are using Vista SP1 or later version (or 7 SP1), you can use the real driver.

    Since you are already updated to SP2, we will see if it is a viable solution.

    Go to: start-> Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features

    In the list of installed programs, locate and remove if found.

    -Intel Matrix Storage Manager

    -Intel Turbo Memory

    This should force your computer to go back to the real driver provided by Vista.
