Satellite A100 WIndows XP SP3 - Corrupted registry?

• Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

  When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

  «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

  There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

  You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

  But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

  If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

  Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

  You can either make the step remove first:

  delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

  Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

  Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

  1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

  2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

  3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

  I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

  If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

  If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

• Satellite A100: Windows won't start no-Unmountable Boot Volume

  My son has a Satellite A100 under Windows XP SP3. Windows is not going beyond the Windows logo screen and ends with a Unmoutable Boot Volume + message.

  After what has happened, the status of the disk in the BIOS password is + HDD password frozen +. Note that the HARD drive does not have a user defined password.

  What is happening here and how is it fixed?

  Can you start laptop in safe mode with F8?
  The HARD drive password is strange to me.

  In this situation what you can try is to start the repair console in the Windows XP installation disc and try to fix it. Problem is that Toshiba computers laptops come with recovery discs only.
  Try to get the installation of Microsoft WXP disc and try with this repair option.

• Network controller is not recognized on Satellite A100 Windows XP

  Hi all!

  I bought a Satellite A100 PSAAR and I did a clean install of Windows XP on it. I installed all the drivers in the correct order (downloaded from the support page) but I still have a problem:

  Ethernet controller and network controller appear with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager, and they are not recognized. I have downloaded the driver lan and I managed to do recognize the ethernet controller. However no matter how hard I tried, I can't find the correct driver for the NETWORK CONTROLLER, which still appears in Device Manager in yellow color.

  I really could use any help here... Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Shouldn´t be a big problem to get some drivers for your machine's real lan. Just go here:

  http://www.Intel.com

  and download the intel proset for ethernet controller. If you didn t already installed the wireless card, do so. Otherwise the other network controller could be the bluetooth adapter.

  It would be nice to hear from you...

  See you soon

• Satellite A100: Windows 7 and 1 TB HDD

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100-998.

  Can I install Windows 7?
  Can I put my disk HARD WD Scorpio Blue 1 TB SATA/300 5200 RPM?

  I checked the Toshiba download page and your laptop is supported for Win7 32 bit, so you can install it. All the necessary drivers and Toshiba applications are available.

  Update HARD drive?
  What to say? You have portable 4 years old and want to upgrade with 1 TB of HARD drive? Even the most recent notebooks don't have hard drives. I put t know if everything will be ok, but I think that upgrading HARD drive with new HARD drive up to 300 or 400 GB might be Ok. Do you agree with me?

• Windows xp sp3 corrupted/missing windows system32\config\system

  Due to the plant after installing sp3, I got the message: "windows has not start because the following file is mising or corrupted \windows\system32\config\system."

  Then, I preformed another destructive restore. again, had the same message. Instead of making another destructive recovery, I did a repair.

  Everything was fine, installed all updates etc. Until I installed sp3. I woke up, started the pc and ONCE again, got the same message.

  I have a HP a375c running windows xp (with sp3).

  I can occasionally, to restart, and it will load. But it's unstable. I can't trust to continue trying to restart and then ultimately won't be able to end.

  I also received a message: c:\i386\dist\system32\dll.dll can not be recovered.

  The system is unstable. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Apparently, will not be supported sp2 for my system more, Windows XP 32-bit Home Edition.

  How can I fix? It seems to me, that's a problem with sp3.

  I'm tired of performing, destructive and non-destructive, System Restore, etc. Over and over again. Only that it is down. As you know, doing the recovery takes ALL DAY, having to get all updates.

  Help, please...

  I use the original recovery cd of HP.

  HP Pavilion A375c Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit

  I changed the drive (long ago) of chkdsk, found no problems.

  I added Ram.

  This message refers to the hive of the registry.  Is to say that the registry is missing or corrupted, in which case it cannot be loaded.  the question is what is the cause of registry errors.

  It would again be a failing hard drive? Perhaps, your poor quality in windows software installation.  Perhaps, you use your system very strongly but not to keep optimized/set up as regular check records and defragments.

  the disk check reconcile file in the file system to the master file table.  because as long as the files are indexed on the mft, then they won't show up missing.  and Defrag makes sure that the files on the disc are not highly fragmented, as your registry hive.   If one of the many fragments that make a single file corrupted, then all the fragments that becomes unusable.

  so, my suggestion is that if you do not have access to a cd to boot xp in order to launch the recovery console and access the drive prompt, then try to do a boot-able with utilities on that cd so that you don't have to use your recovery cd.

  I did not one of them provided by this site, but I've not heard bad things on this subject: http://www.ubcd4win.org/index.htm

  then when you finally get to the disk prompt run command >:

  Chkdsk /r

  the slash r will mark bad sectors on your hard disk and make windows to ignore the wrong places when writing data to the hard drive in the future.

  also, since you seem to escape that you get this type of error several times, then my suggestion is to make a backup of your registry hive.  This way you can restore via a boot-able floppy.

  If the disk check / r fails to correct the problem with the registry, then you can replace it with a base in a safe place inside the windows folder.

  Keep us updated on your condition.

• Satellite P10 - Windows XP (SP3) and the use of the library

  My Satellite P10 is vintage 2003 and Windows Media Center onboard.
  Recently, when you try to log in to use the new possibilities of TV capture which are installed in line I was in charge I needed to upgrade to Windows Media Player 11 (or higher) to be able to watch these TV programs.

  After you download WM11 and try to load, I get the error message "you have Windows Media Center 2005 or later version to run WM11.

  Someone else I have a problem and can I do (apart from dumping my P10 and purchase of a Mac (which is what my son told me to do!).)

  Hello

  Depending on your message, your laptop uses Windows Win XP MCE
  Looks like you are using the old version which is 2003

  The providing of WMP11 error message says that you need the most recent version; 2005.

  I think you simply update the Windows media Center.

  For this, you can see this Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/mediacenter.msp

• Windows 7 updates corrupt registry

  Win 7 running on a HP desktop computer.

  Had not used the machine for 6 weeks.
  Ran all the updates (too many for such a short period) now the machine does not recognize the optical drive.
  Do you usually, = bad to shoot, manually uninstall and reinstall both as physical exercises and pilot, restored at a point before the updates.
  Tested the optical drive in winXP, I have on a slave drive, and the optical drive is 100% functional.
  I had a look on the advice of knowledge registry you KB papers and followed one of them, but he explained that if I had not of upper and lower case parameters (but call you it something else) list not not to do a manual correction in this way. I only saw the top not listed there so abandoned.
  I have a removable DVD burner but WIN 7 is not installed that is and I cannot manually install the optical drive from the CPU with Nero 8 disc is not recognized. Average running installation, VICTORY, a Windows 7 disc repair cannot be done either.
  Extremely frustrating and nothing like that happens with my MACBOOK...

  This looks like a bad setting in the audio settings. Check in the control panel.
  I'm sure this will help you.

• Satellite A100-811 - maximum memory capacity

  I have an old A100-811 Satellite with Windows XP SP3. It has 1 GB of memory (2 x 512). I want to improve the memory. What should I do?

  1. put another memory of 2 GB so the total is 2.5 GB (will I get in trouble for using two types of 512 MB and 2 GB memory?)

  2 put 2 x 1 GB total 2 GB (for better styling?)

  3. put 2 x 2 GB. But will I have the 4 GB memory full or only 3 GB because of the limitations of memory Win Xp?

  Do I need a BIOS update for this?

  Thanks in advance for any info!

  Hi skga100,

  The maximum capacity of RAM in Satellite A100-811 is 4 GB. This means that you can install 2 GB in each slot.

  Usually for Windows XP 2 GB is enough but I want to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7, you should think about 3 or 4 GB

  In your case, I would buy a 2GB memory module. If you are on the safe side.
  Why? If you want to install Vista or Windows 7 later, you can buy a second memory module and keep your 2 GB module. Who s the easiest way. :)

  And no, upgrading the BIOS is not necessary.

• Satellite A100 - multimedia keys do not work correctly with Win XP

  Hello

  I use a Satellite A100 with Xp sp3.
  Recently, the media keys did not work properly.

  When I open the Windows media player 11, I can go to the previous song, but I can't stop, pause, or skip to the next track by pressing the keys.
  Is this a hardware problem?

  Any help? Thank you.

  Hello

  I doubt that its material related question I think that its software I m thinking: Reinstalling Drivers and tools

  First install the common Module. This should me installed initially.
  Then, install the tool called controls.

  All these applications can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

• 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.

  Good bye

• Impossible to send E-mail on Satellite A100 WinXP SP2

  Hi all

  just found this forum.
  I have the Satellite A100 Windows XP sp2 and I'm unable to send e-mail to certain addresses (yahoo among others - recipients rejected by the server).
  After several long sessions with my ISP tech (ntlworld) support that seemed to be the best advice that all is OK with my settings on the server and I need to look for a solution elsewhere.

  I was using Outlook Express as my email application so tried Mozilla's Thunderbird to see if this helped - no improvement, unfortunately.
  Windows updates all installed. I approach approaching the limit of my knowledge, help/advice or pointers in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Maybe is a problem of the Outlook profile.

  Make a new profile in Outlook under Extras? E account Mail with information from the ISP and verify the Netware properties.

  I hope this is a help.

• Satellite A100-207 - \windows\system32\config\system is corrupt

  Hello

  Can someone help me with the following problem. With regard to a Toshiba Satellite A100-207 with windows XP media edition

  When starting the laptop hangs with error * \windows\system32\config\system is corrupt *.

  This article is the closest to the problem http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545. but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

  I have lost the disc of recovery (recently).
  But were able to boot the laptop from USB using a cutter (lite) version of windows.

  The scene in the article copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system fails because the file does not exist (the other files do however).

  In this folder there is a system.bak, this would solve the problems like the laptop boots windows logo screen then after 5 minutes restarts and just go around and around a certain extent.

  There is also a file system.sav in the folder windows\system32\config using this all goes someway to to solve the problem, the laptop restarts and resumes product set-up with off course fails has so I don't have the recovery disk.

  I would be grateful if someone could help with the problem

  Regards Garry

  > but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

  You can ignore this warning, you have no other choice than to try to fix this system following the article in the Microsoft Knowledge base.

  But to be honest, I doubt that the system would run smoothly after this work around.

  I would recommend the new installation of the OS.
  If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can use a Microsoft Disk to reinstall the system. Essential drivers are available Toshiba driver Web site.

• Satellite A100 - no sound with Windows XP Pro SP3

  Hello

  I'm the reconstruction of a laptop Toshiba A100-PSAA9A-10U038 with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP3.

  At this point, I have not all sounds (Yes, the volume is set to the top).

  As this is my first post I covered I hope that most of the bases as with SP3 and I installed all the updates available from Toshiba and Microsoft - well at least, I guess I have. I downloaded the latest updates from Realtek who advised in a general forum but no luck.

  Device Manager tells me that there are problems with a "PCI Device" and a "unknown device", and I assume that one of these two is the culprit.

  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think that you have installed the driver of his evil.
  See this page:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/A100/psaa9a-10u038/download?OS=22

  you will find all of the Win XP drivers for this model of laptop.
  As you can see there are two different Realtek drivers:
  V Realtek Audio Driver 5.10.0.5253
  -Realtek ALC861 Audio Driver 5.10.0.5200

  To my knowledge, you have the Realtek HD audio Manager.
  But before install you the audio driver SP3 must be installed, it seems, that you did
  However, the most recent audio Realtek driver can be downloaded from the Realtek page directly.
  Select this check box, and then choose Manager Realtek HD audio for Win XP.

  Should work.
