Satellite A-C55-1N1 - how to fix Windows 8.1 after trying Linux?

Hello

Laptop: Satellite C55-A-1N1

In my infinite wisdom, I tried to install Linux in dual boot as my old laptop scenario. I have narrowed the main partition of windows in windows 8.1 first and then installed linux on this partition. After the reboot, Linux worked, but not windows, because I had to disable the secure boot and set bios to the CSM for linux to load.

After turning on and bios secure boot to EFI, windows boot more. I tried to repair the windows operating system by running the repair of another DVD of Win8.1 tools, but they do not have repair startup. I learned eventually to zero to start takes you to the... except hidden restore partition my not!

So, I checked the windows and the recovery partitions are intact but I can't access the recovery partition or repair the windows installation with windows 8.1 repair tools. No, I have not all backups, other images or system restore options. Clever, aren't I? I don't have the original recovery partition (which I can't access) and the windows partition to play with. I don't want to lose my license OEM Windows 8.1...

Any ideas how to save this installation of windows?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You have made the same mistake as many other people. On this forum, we discussed many times how it works and tried to explain how it works.

In s manuals are described clearly that each owner of the laptop must create a recovery (DVD or USB) media and this created recovery media can be used for recovery image installation where this HARD drive recovery option does not work or if the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced.

As I see that you do not have this recovery media. Is that HARD drive recovery facility can be started if laptop has only factory settings. Your experience of Linux, this option disappeared and there is no way to start it again.

What can you do now? I know it may seem stupid now, but if you want to install original recovery image you need to order new media of recovery and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

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

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Satellite A-C55-1N1 - upgrade of the network cards

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1N1 running Windows 8.1 and want to update the NETWORK Ethernet card both cards Wi - Fi, with the upgrade of the most important Ethernet card.

    Current card Ethernet installed (by Device Manager) is Qualcomm Atheros AR8172/8176/8178 PCE - E Controller Fast Ethernet (NDIS 6 h 30). I would like to move to GigaBit Ethernet.

    I don't want to disassemble the laptop to determine the size of the current map before obtaining beforehand a replacement (to avoid repeated disassembly). Can someone please help with the details of the existing card (for example what size/connections) and what other cards would be compatible to use to reach GigaBit speeds, if indeed this is possible?

    Map current WiFi installed (by Device Manager) is Qualcomm's Atheros AR956x wireless network adapter. I would like to be able to also connect at 5 GHz...

    As with the Ethernet card, I would get a compatible card before dismantling and would ask the same questions. I also understand that I would need 2 or 3 internal antennas to reach faster speeds of the WiFi. Can someone advise please on existing maps, maps of appropriate replacement and on the issue of the antennas.

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Due to specific design material update on laptops is very limited and supported. Support is upgrade RAM or HARD disk. It's nothing more than that.
    You can find a list of compatible RAM memory modules to upgrade. HDD or SSD upgrade is not problematic and, on most portable models, it can be done by the owner of the laptop.

    All the other hardware upgrades are not supported. I do not understand that you want to use the material with the best specification but that should help you with this?
    > Can someone please help with the details of the existing card (for example what size/connections) and what other cards would be compatible to use to reach GigaBit speeds, if this is indeed possible?
    These info, you can get the laptop to the manufacturer or an authorized only, partner, but they will tell you the same thing I have already written.

    My advice to you: do not disassemble the laptop on your own. In a first time the valid warranty and secondly, you can damage something.

    At the end one, may be stupid, the question: what is the problem actually? Is your machine so slow or what? I mean in particular the LAN connection. It must be OK.

    Thank you
    Ben

    Hi Ben,

    The problem is that you must create this disk with Windows and all the drivers/tools yourself if it of not given with the computer. This can be done with the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator who creates the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains a picture to factory settings (Windows with all the drivers and tools) and can be used to restore the factory settings every time.
    So you need this disc to install Vista with the supplied software.

    In any case, now it s too late and you need to order such a drive of Toshiba directly but it s not for free:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Of course, you can install Windows on a normal disc of Microsoft, but then you must install all the drivers and tools yourself so recovery disk is the easiest way and pre-tested by Toshiba. ;)
