• Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

  My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

  So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

  I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

  Hey,.

  Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

  So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

• Satellite L300 - Question about restore disks

  Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

  However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
  I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

  Any advice appreciated help.

  Hi tarajanes,

  To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

  Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  In case you get an error message: what message you get exactly?

• 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

• Question about recovery disks

  Hello everyone, Im a person retired and new to computers and the forums. My question is, when, where and why the recovery discs are used? My L series has 2 of them. Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Badhat wrote the very good display, but here's my little additional explanation:

  Each computer will be used with operating system. Operating system is just part of the system that works well. Preinstalled OS must have good communication with all available hardware components. For this reason, for each material single component must be installed right driver. OS with the drivers can work well, but this isn't the end of the story. Toshiba offers many additional functions for keys, power control and so on. For this Toshiba application offer and install the additional tools and utilities.

  As you can see the preparation of BONE can be quite complicated for people without good knowledge of PC. To avoid this Toshiba prepare all this. People who work in the service of software install OS on certain model of laptop, install the necessary drivers al, tools, utility and software additional (anti-virus software) and create the image of the recovery of it. Recovery image is a kind of fingerprint of the stuff all pre-installed so when you use image recovery everything installs correctly and when installation is complete, you will be able to use the laptop immediately without spending your time to configure anything. This condition is also called if the factory settings.

  In the past, that Toshiba has delivered equipped laptops of recovery disc in the box of you, but in recent years the recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and each owner of the laptop must / should create recovery disks only. It can be done using an application preinstalled called creator of recovery disk Toshiba.

  Take care of your disks. You can use hem many times and without limits every time when something is a crew up and you want to have own OS preinstalled and use the laptop with the factory settings.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite L350 - Question about recovery disc creation

  Help, please.

  I read in the manual for my new lap top before setting up and feel rather nervous.

  The seller said that he had to open automatically when I start it, and all I had to do to install the printer and my word m/s (for example) program and I would be in place and running.

  But it seems that I should first do some recovery disks.
  How many disks is necessary? DVD no doubt - or D/L.?
  The recovery discs are possible after other programs installed?

  Secondly, he mentioned the manual online. Where can I find it?
  I have a scanner and a Seagate external hard drive, but these can be added later.
  I use the laptop as a desktop replacement for my old Mesh PC of five years.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Yes, it is very important to create the recovery disk before you change anything on your HARD drive laptops.
  When you have completed the installation of Vista, you must start the application called recovery Toshiba disc Creator.
  This application will help you create the recovery disk.

  As I m not wrong not you would need a DVD. I recommend using a DVD-R.

  Notes; in some cases, you might get an error burning the recovery DVDs. This may happen because not all drives are fully compatible. So if you get this error please check different DVD from different manufacturers

• Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

  Hello.

  I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

  Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. After doing this, you can do with disk partitions you want.
  One day, if you want to reinstall Vista and have the factory settings, you can use this created DVD facilities.

  Please note: before installation of Vista drive HARD whole lance and ancient structure of the partitions is deleted. Data back up are required.

• Satellite A100 - questions about the keys to the left hand and added value package

  Hello:

  The work of doesn´t special keys on left hand. I mean, the keys under the power on button which usually starts the web browser and works with the DVD.

  Another question. The value-added package that was installed on my laptop has got a call from the Toshiba Fash utility maps. When I upgraded to the latest version (previosly I had to uninstall it) this SW is not installed. How can I get it back?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Value added contains several applications:
  -Toshiba components pilot common
  -Toshiba Utilities
  -Toshiba PC Diagnostic tool
  -Toshiba Power Saver
  -Toshiba Button support
  -Toshiba zooming utility
  -Toshiba Flash cards

  So as you can see, the button support is included in this package. I don't know what the problem is on your laptop, but when the VAP is installed correctly the multimedia buttons and Flash cards should work correctly.

  Try again please remove VAP system, restart the computer and install the latest version available. This latest version works well on the different laptop models (on my Satellite P200D too) and it should work on your too.

  Hello

  I put t know exactly what it is the sense of shared module, but perhaps that it s often resorted to the module.
  This application is necessary for the good state of different tools of Toshiba.
  In this case, I would recommend reinstallation of this application.

• Re: Satellite P200 - question about the recovery part

  I have a Satellite P200 and a recovery disk. I don't want to use this as it clears my disk clean C: and E: which has all my data on it.

  Is there a restore button to factory settings which affects the C: drive and let E: in tact? I thought I read somewhere that there was.

  Hello

  If you have the Satellite P200, something like this is not possible. Unfortunately, before the recovery procedure starts the disk HARD integer will be deleted (formatted). Before you begin recovery procedure back up all your important data to an external device, or burn it to DVD-R/RW support.

• Question about recovery on satellite disks series

  Hello world
  I had my equium for a week now and it already have mucked up. I managed to delete the partition hidden just reconfiguring the partitions on my HARD drive, is it possible to recover the hidden partition or that failing to get a set of recovery disks to reinstall vista.

  Thanks for your help. Paul

  The recovery DVDs must be included with your computer. I say 'should', mine was not, and I thought that the hidden partition has been used in one way or another to remaster my computer. When I went back to the store were I bought the computer told me that I would have to pay for the DVD for more than a month had passed since the purchase and it is my responsibility to check the contents of the box first. So, if you don't have the DVD. I invite you to come back to were you bought the computer very quickly.

  I was told that the recovery disk for the

  DON'T FORMAT THE DRIVE, is that correct? I was struck by a virus and my pc is slow and stop often. Although I ran norton several times, it doesn't seem to help.

  I would like to do a clean install on this laptop. Does anyone has the steps to follow for a person non-techie? and once again the recovery disc formats the drive?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You have 2 options:

  1. standard mode: recover the entire hard drive: all data will be lost.
  2 expert mode: retrieve only the partition with windows on it: only data from this partition will be lost.

  If you perform a new installation, please use the expert mode and you'll be able to create two partitions. On the first, you need to install OS and the second that allows you to save all your data.

  Also check the other postings in the forum. You can use the advanced search.
