• Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

  I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

  I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

  However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

  What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
  Someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The recovery procedure is not difficult.
  Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

  Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
  I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

  Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)

• Satellite A50 - recovery disk is not working

  Hello

  I'm trying to do a clean install on my laptop, but the recovery disk is not working.
  The files transferred to the laptop, but once done, I get an error message that says: "the system is not fully installed. Please run Setup again."

  Does anyone have suggestions as to how to fix it?

  It took me four days to get to this point and make me very frustrated.

  Thanks heaps

  Hello

  What is the installation using another CD; That is to say the Microsoft Windows XP disk?
  Have you tried that?

  In my opinion, this would help to pinpoint the problem
  The error message can be linked to different issues; I mean the HARD drive or a single partition problem could also be possible.

  Try to format the drive HARD whole again. Delete all partitions from the HARD drive and check if you can proceed with the installation.

  But if you will not be able to install the OS by using the recovery disk and other disks then a question must relate to a part of the material. (possibly HDD)

• Satellite A100: internal microphone does not work

  Well well, my type cell phone (or so it is said) is a Satellite A100, I have everything (I think) works fine, but it is only when I try to use my built-in mic phone the problem starts, it won't work!

  It is said there is a built-in microphone, but the bar will not move as he cannot hear my voice, even when I'm screaming! I tried on msn thinking it was a small problem, but he said that had heard no noise!

  It worked fine when I plugged my microphone in my webcam installed, but the problem is now, my older brother was and broken than microphone and I wanted that my only integrated to work but is not!

  He said that the microphone is a Realtek audio HD with SRS, so I need to know if anyone can help me with this? Please?

  Hello

  Could you post a detailed laptop Satellite A100-xxx name?
  It would be very interesting to know if the laptop supports an internal microphone or not.

  To my knowledge, some of the A100 don t support the internal mic and that is why you should use the external mic

• Satellite A100: Media buttons do not work

  Hello!

  I have the Satellite A100, Windows XP SP2. All the media buttons on the left of the keyboard has stopped working. They worked yesterday, I did not install anything or even shut down the computer since then. They just stop working.

  Can someone help me to fix it?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think you should first of all, clean the registry.
  You can use a freeware tool called CCLeaner. It s great. I also use it.

  After removing the old Toshiba control Utility and cleaned the Windows registry reboot once more and install first the common Modules!
  After the installation of common Modules install Toshiba controls.

  Good luck and feedback would be highly appreciated.

• Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working no-error code 39

  Hi all

  My Satellite Pro A210 dvd player does not load.
  When I looked inside, he showed an error code 39.
  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the 39 error message appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in my computer.
  You can try this workaround:
  Go to Device Manager and remove the drive CD/DVD from the list of devices.
  Then go to the registry (regedit) and remove upper and lower key filters:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Then restart the device and test again
  I think this should help!

• Satellite A100: Crossover Cable does not work

  I have a laptop TOSIHBA SATELLITE A100
  I tried to connect my laptop to another computer by Cable Crossover
  and he wasn't wotking, the sign (X) appeared to me as if the cable was not plugged.

  Note that (when I put my cable DSL ' it works well on the net)
  to know that I tried this cable with the other compuers, and it worked fine.

  Hello

  Strange?  :|
  I think that it s certainly not a physical LAN port problem because as you have already said the ADSL cable works fine.

  You have the right settings TCP/IP to connect to the other computer?
  Both computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must set the IP fix, the subnet mask and the gateway!

  Also, try to remove the map LAN device manager and restart the laptop.
  After the new reboot the OS must load the required drivers and should recognize the card even once.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 PSAAR: Synaptics touchpad not working not not on Vista Ultimate x 64

  I decided to upgrade my XP 32 bit Vista x 64 Ultimate on my PSAAR A100.
  Operating system works perfectly except one thing - touchpad, which work perfectly under XP, is not answer at all under Vista x 64 (with SP1 of course).

  Worse, it's that my touchpad (Synaptics) is listed in as a work Device Manager correctly. Hmm - I don't remember. Meet your possible suggestions - I tried to reinstall, I tried to use the A200 drivers (since Toshiba does not support drivers for Vista x 64 for line A100) and even had the newer drivers from the Synaptics site. Update Vista even me has new drivers - cool, I admit, but it still does not work, even if Windows does not seem to "know" about any help would be very appreciated :) it...

  PS (optional problem) I also have 2 unknown according to Device Manager devices - since I have no idea what they are, and because I don't think I'm missing something - I simply gave up on top of those - at least for now ;)

  Of course, nobody here the solution for you. :(

  Problem is that this model of laptop is not supported for Vista 64-bit. I don't really know what you can try. Maybe install driver designed for A300?

  I don't really know. You can use an external mouse with success?

• Re: Satellite A100 - product key does not work on Vista installation

  Hey,.

  I'm paid to reinstall Windows Vista and all the drivers on a Toshiba Satellite A100 and it doesn't have a Vista disc, but I used guggle 1.6 to get the product key. That I reinstalled Vista Home Premium Grand with my copy of what I bought.

  But now when I try to enter the product key, it says its already in service and I get an error message.

  What should I do?

  Hello!

  The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. This means that you can t use this key with a normal Vista installation disc that you can buy on the internet or in a store of the computer.

  If you want to install Vista you should a disk recovery Toshiba or a disc of Microsoft with the corresponding product key.

  You can order a Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly:

• Satellite P100 - recovery disk does not work

  After getting some annoying adware that I couldn't get rid of, I decided to format my hard drive and my notebook back to factory... something that I couldn't do.

  First of all, I inserted the disc, and in no way I couldn't take. I tried to run on the start menu, I browsed the records and sought some sort of file that would open up the normal Wizard... etc... nothing... I rebooted to see if it would start... nothing...

  I went into the setup (f2) and asked him to initialize the disk. He then says "Loading ram disk image" with a progress bar... the bar ends, the screen empties and that restarts, get to the same point and restarts continuously.

  I found this thread with a guy with exactly the same problem here:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=17094

  He described his solution, but I have no idea what he's talking about.

  I got this 'product Recovery DVD-ROM' and no other discs. I can't get into windows, I can only get f2 and the parameters it and watch it to restart... I can't do anything with it at all.

  Stunned by using the made recovery disc my laptop unusable as before when it was just annoying ad sites in...

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I checked the link in your ad, and the other person started the laptop with the Linux Boot CD to format and delete partitions on HARD drive integers.

  I recommend to do the same thing. Delete the partitions and format the drive HARD and then try to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied.

• Qosmio F10: Recovery DVD does not work?

  Hello. I have a qosmio series lappy F10 series well well I still get random stops, crashes and error log every time that I start.
  It's been very disturbing to me. I tried to use the system recovery cd, that I got with my laptop and when I followed the procedure in the user manual it starts the recovery then flashes that my system does not support recovery.

  Is this normal especially when I had my restore disk with my laptop. I want to reformat my drive hard back to the factory settings and it was completely wiped out with having to buy a new hard drive and windows xp.

  What I do and how can you help me in this? I'm at the end of my teather as one of my tasks is a dj from the internet and I can't keep crashing in the middle of my streaming. I don't want to lose my job!

  Help, please!

  Hello

  Very strange! The fact is that you cannot use the different recovery CD because each recovery CD is designed for a Toshiba laptop model. For example, you can not use a Qosmio F10 on a Qosmio G20 recovery CD.

  However, I assume that you use the recovery CD provided (as you say) and the recovery procedure should generally work without any warnings or error messages.
  I think there is something wrong with the CD. Maybe the wrong CD was shipped with this laptop?
  I recommend to ask the Toshiba ASP in your country. Here, you can also order the new CD.

  Good bye
