• Satellite A100: How to reinstall the operating system with recovery CD?

  Hi guys,.

  My laptop (8 months) has been crashing (Windows XP) lately and I tried to use the product recovery CD but nothing happened (the laptop failed to boot from the CD, instead, she starts toward the window of connection for Windows XP Home edition). When I open the CD in windows Explorer, then I realized it was empty. Is it supposed to be empty?

  Even if the laptop came with a second CD, "Express Media Player Recovery CD", I think that's going to be for recovering pre-installed software supplied with the system.

  I guess I can contact Toshiba for another free product recovery CD (or are they supposed to be two?) my system is still under warranty.

  Please I need confirmation on this asap.

  Hello

  It's very strange, I can't believe that the Toshiba Recovery CD is empty!
  There must certainly be a ghost image.
  Very, very strange and mysterious

  The Express Media Player recovery CD retrieves only the Media Express Player but not the entire operating system!
  I also recommend to ask the ASP in your country for a replacement CD recovery.
  Perhaps you could send guys the empty recovery CD because they do not believe! ;)

• Satellite A100: How do I enable SATA NATIVE mode

  Hello, my laptop Satellite A100 PSAA9 and the southbridge is an ICH7M
  I put an SSD in my laptop and the drive controller is locked-> Ultra DMA 6 IDE compatible mode.
  I would switch to the native SATA-1 to increase the bandwidth (from 110 MB/s-150), but I can't find any setting so that, in the last BIOS 6.00

  I think that maybe in the past, Toshiba has enable this feature, but I suppose they might have turned it off for beginners who don't know how to install the SATA drivers during the installation of Windows.

  I found Toshiba BIOS database, but it is locked by a password.
  I'm willing to test any BIOS that could re - enable native SATA mode

  + The message was edited: link has been removed - unauthorized +.

  Hello

  You need the native SATA controller?

  The laptop was equipped with a controller SATA interface supports the Serial ATA Rev. 1. 0a.

  Some laptop models take a BIOS that contains a SATA mode option.
  This option can be changed on AHCI or in compatibility mode.

  But as far as I know a100 BIOS does not contain these settings

  I am a user of portable Virgin and will take my Toshiba Satellite A100 when I go to Portugal for 1 year.

  Please can someone advise how I can get internet connection Wi - Fi while I'm away.

  Hi Jane

  To connect the laptop to the wireless LAN, you need to first configure the WLan router.
  Each WLan router manufacturing provides a statement of installation and configuration.

  After configuring the WLan router, you must activate the WiFi card on laptop you.
  Turn on the WLan switch and use the FN + F8 key combination.

  Then, you must use either software 3rd party WLAN client configuration like the Intel Proset utility or you will use the own Windows OS option for the WLan connection.

• Satellite A100 - how to install "Windows XP MCE" on a new HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-495. the cd/dvd does not work and I have a new hard drive. Now, I want to install the original os (windows xp professional, mce).
  I'm trying to put the files of my original restore on a USB cd but never works and I did not find useful clues in any part of the forum.

  Is there anyone out there who can help me?

  Hi, marawe

  It would never work if you just copy the files from recovery Cd on a usb key. You need to make a BOOTABLE FLASH DISK, to do you need an application like Flashbot... Google.
  Download and install it, after that you can make a bootable usb key.
  You should know that your Bios must support boot with a Usb key, I don't know about your knees. Otherwise, you cannot do so. Hope it works

  Before installing the latest version, delete the old version in Control Panel. Then, restart the computer and install the latest version on the Toshiba site you downloaded.

• Satellite A500 - how to reinstall the original Windows 7?

  Hello

  I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500-19U and Windows 7. I tried to create a new partition, then I've done assets so he hid, after restarting the laptop, I had a black screen and massage (bootmgr is missing)

  So I installed another copy of Windows 7 just to connect to my computer. Then after the copy of Windows 7 installation I made inactive D if it appeared there is file recovery. So my question is: as long as I have this file I want to reinstall the original Windows 7 I have in the drive hard, but how?

  When I press F and repair, then it does not give the last option of HARD drive recovery! Why and I have the recovery file?

  Please help me

  Hello

  I guess you didn't read the manual user, first of all. I m right? ;)

  Well, normally HARD drive recovery you can start if you go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. After that, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.

  But I guess that this isn't possible anymore because you have installed another copy of Windows 7. If this menu isn't available anymore.

  The only option to restore factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Did you create it? This can be through with preinstalled creative drive recovery Toshiba but if you didn t create it, it s too late now, too.

  The only option now is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly. So take a look in your user manual.

  Hello

  As you probably know, the Toshiba Recovery disk is not the same as an original Microsoft disc.

  The recovery disk contains an image and the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will remove all data stored on the HARD drive.

  If you cannot keep the data on the HARD drive using the recovery disk because you will lose.

  I think you need to back up the important docs before using the recovery disk.

• Satellite A100 - how to re-install the package of value added?

  I had a problem with the crash of flashcards since I got my A100 is about 2 years. Today, I finally downloaded the update to the VAP and tried to install it. I received an error message telling me to remove the old VAP first. When I try to do via the Control Panel, the installation program seems to work according to the Manager of tasks (uninstaller?) but the progress bar never changes and the silence as computer advice that nothing is really happening. I tried this twice already, leaving to run for 30 minutes each time.

  I have 3 questions:

  1. can I update the VAP otherwise?
  2. can I solve the problem of flashcard otherwise crash?
  3. can anyone the flashcards explain to me in simple terms? Why are important (or useful)? I don't really understand them and never use them but have heard of problems if they are deleted.

  Please respond in terms of novice.
  Thank you.

  Hello!

  As I know the Toshiba value added Package can only be updated if you first remove the old version. I also recommend this way.
  But maybe you should try to remove the added value package with CCleaner. This program cleans the registry and the system. Then install it and clean the system. After this attempt to delete the VAP.

  The PPV contains the following important tools:
  -TOSHIBA components common driver is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
  -TOSHIBA Power Saver controls energy by opting for optimal power settings, if the machine is connected or battery-based knowledge and based on the remaining battery power.
  -TOSHIBA utilities allows you to customize the settings of your hardware, depending on how you work with your computer and the devices you use. To start the utility, click the Start button and select Control Panel, and select Configuration HW TOSHIBA icon.
