  Save the product recovery dvd. Can U tell me how I should get the product Recovery DVD - ROM with XP Service pack 2 operating system.

  Hello

  I m not very good if you want to be able to order the recovery for this unit disc, because in very rare cases, the recovery disc may be pronounced if the laptop model is too old.

  So I hope that you can order it here:

  You can also try to contact the ASP in your country and ask the guy if he could order the Toshiba disk directly

• Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on the Toshiba start screen after BIOS update

  Hello.

  Yesterday, I made an update of the BIOS on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E 03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 624 & langua ge = 17 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = userMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguag e = 17 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 58477 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42

  BIOS - 20070709111839.zip

  After flashing, the machine restarted automatically, but unfortunately it keeps now suspended from Thoshiba welcome screen. Also by pressing F2 or F12 will not change anything. It seems that the BIOS is damaged.

  I saw that in the BIOS package are delivered the two files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom) flash. But just the execution of the BIOS590MP.exe SanAntonion10 a .vbs script starts decides which automatically selects and loads a flash file. Maybe she chose the wrong?

  What should I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my laptop?

  Thanks in advance

• Re: Satellite A100-692 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-1011E - how to extend the battery life

  Hello world

  I would like to ask you for advice. Given that I just bought this laptop, I would not my battery life shorten as soon as my old laptop. You plug the power cable when the battery is fully charged? Since I'm on cell regularly, 3 h battery is not enough for me. All do you advise me to take the battery out and use that? We hope to get all the valuable tips here. Thank you!

  Hi jimmytee,
  After the available studies, newsletters and my experience, there is no need to remove the battery if fully charged when working with AC plugged in. It is recommended only to tell - and recharge the battery once a month, not more. You should not work with AC plugged on and removed the battery.
  Furthermore, I'm fighting currently with the battery in a new unit. The battery itself was very fast discharge with the unit is turned off and removed ca connection. Now, the Toshiba service changed the battery. Will see how the situation will be after a few days.

• Satellite A100-750: how to increase the graphics memory

  Hi all

  I have a question... can I change the amount of memory available for the video card?
  Now the pc with Vista home premium have only 64 MB dedicated for the video card and 271 MB of available system memory and memory system used 0.
  It is possible to Exchange software video memory setting?

  TKS
  concerning
  Fabrizio

  Hello

  Are you sure that your graphics card for laptop supports shared memory?
  AFAIK the A100-750 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go7300 and this card supports own video memory of 64 MB. This isn't shared, memory and so you cannot increase this memory of graphics card on a higher value.

  In this case the graphics card uses the own memory, and the laptop need not share main memory with the graphics card.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

  AHOY!

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

  It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

  However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

  * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

  I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

  + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

  And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

  (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

  I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
  A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

  With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
  If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
  On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

  Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
  > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
  I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

• Satellite A100 - 803 (PSAANE) - Trouble updating the BIOS in Vista

  Hello

  I tried to update the BIOS on my laptop today. After the installation of the new BIOS, restarted the pc and then it showed a black screen with white display text material in the machine.

  In the end, it says something about a corrupt CMOS. She said press F1 to default or F2 for Setup.

  I pressed F1.

  The thing is that I don't know if it worked. I used a program to display the bios version and it seems up to date, but the CMOS thing me freaked out.

  I met all of the planned maneuvers (AC adapter / CC plugged etc.) except in startup mode. I assumed that the boot mode is currently in the standard vista desktop.

  * What is this thing of startup mode? * It's driving me crazy. I searched the forums, google and nothing. How can I get the computer to "boot mode and not recovery mode" as the tutorial says.

  I intend to reinstall the BIOS as soon as I know how to enter in the boot mode.

  I think that this announcement has already answered in this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=122727#122727

  You're talking about the traditional BIOS update, but the fact is that on the Toshiba driver page you will find ONLY the base BIOS update windows.
  All new BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be updated only running a Windows operating system.

  In the BIOS, the package should be unzipped everything first, and then an .exe file must be run.

  That s all ;)

• Satellite A100-234: how to identify the good recovery CD

  How do I identify the recovery for this laptop CD.

  I tried to use 3 different recovery CD. With all the CD Installation is done properly and reboot is requested. But the system does not start.

• Satellite A100-192: how to use the s-video output?

  My A100-192 out s-video. Can I use it to watch DVD on screen? What is needs? Can be no problem - simple connect laptop with TV and relax. Or problems?

  Hello

  Generally all the information on how to connect laptop to TV, you should find in the manual of Toshiba which is already preinstalled on the laptop.

  The laptop supports a switch for easy display on television.
  By using the FN + F5 key combination, you can switch between display devices.
  Therefore, you must connect the laptop with the s-video cable to the TV, turn on the s-video on your TV and the FN + F5 to change the TV screen output.

  If you want to watch DVDs, you must use a DVD as WinDVD playback software.

• Re: Satellite A200-1ZF how to run the Toshiba face recognition system

  Hello

  How can I use on my Satellite A200 Toshiba face recognition system?

  The only problem with this software is the program do not see my cam.
  I mean... he see cam, but when I try to save the new face in system then I can read something like "the webcam is currently used or there is problem with hardware.

  So I turn off the webcam toshiba utility, but nothing has changed.
  The hand of the webcam is running correctly. Her webcam Chicony as in the series of toshiba A300 same driver is the same (date, time, number, series)
  So if someone knows what could be wrong please answer...

  Thank you
  Good bye

  Hello

  I checked the download page for your laptop Satellite recognition tool and the face is not available, so I assume that you downloaded it for a different model of laptop.
  It is not so important, and I think it should work anyway.

  I have more Satellite P200 and he was also delivered without face recognition tool. I installed it anyway and it works perfectly. My laptop have factory settings and camera Assistant software is DISABLED.

  Your laptop is installed with the recovery image too?

  Try to remove the preinstalled face recognition software and remove the webcam in Device Manager, restart your laptop and try to install it again. It works on my laptop and I see no reason why it shouldn't work on your too.
  On this forum many people asked if this software can run on older models of laptops and a lot of people have confirmed that it works well.
