Satellite A200: How to restore Vista back

Jin

I have a new a200.
After a few fews on Vista I installed Windows xp.
Now, I put the Vista (without xp) from the recovery partition.

How can I do this?

Michael

You n t need to install the Vista partition but the Toshiba Recovery CD.
Just put it in the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

Notepad starts from the CD and the recovery CD will format the HARD drive!
The entire procedure will take about 10 minutes. Then the laptop will be set back to factory settings.

  • Satellite A200 - how to get Vista back?

    Hi all

    Recently I bought used Satellite A200. The person who used it removed Vista and it seems, he removed also hidden HARD drive partition, I need. The only thing I have is the key product vista Home premium on the back side.

    Is it possible to go back to vista? Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Why must you the hidden HARD drive partition? If Windows is deleted, the hidden HARD drive partition will not help you. It's just a feature of Microsoft for the Windows recovery environment and t can restore windows.

    In any case, I think you need Toshiba Recovery disk to restore the version preinstalled Windows.

    I put t know what Satellite A200 you have exactly, but no more, you can order a recovery disc [here | https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx] or ask a [certified maintainer | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/].

  • Satellite A200 - how to replace Vista with XP?

    I received a Satellite A200, because the owner was heartily sick of Windows Vista which came installed on it. Everything I have heard talk about Vista convinces me that I don't want to have anything to do with it. In addition to my wife - who will use the computer, serves to XP and wants to continue to use it.

    After a day and a half looking for instructions on how to get the A200 to boot from a CD on which SATA drivers required as well as the files of XP installation disc was compiled AND burn 4 CD, I can't always get things working!

    Please... surely someone in the Toshiba Land has successfully dealt with this problem before! Guess I'll try tomorrow, but some help would be appreciated of course.

    Hi spktrm,.

    Yes, you re right and you must integrate the SATA drivers in the XP installation disc. Therefore, you will need to download the Intel Storage Manager driver package that contains this SATA driver you need. Here in the forum there is already an article interesting how to proceed:
    [How to integrate the AHCI SATA driver during the installation of Windows XP? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=38]

    Alternative you can install XP without this driver if you change the HARD drive in the BIOS from AHCI Compatible. Then, you use the normal Microsoft Windows XP disk. ;)

  • Satellite L300: How to restore Vista

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba L300-180 with Vista Home Basic. For some reason I can't access my windows. So I want to make a recovery. Wehn I turn on the computer and press F8 and choose repair only
    Watch no repair options normal startup options or mode of economy at all. How is it possible and how can I recover a work entirely of windows?

    Hello

    The L300 supports a HARD drive recovery option.
    You need to start Notepad and then press F8 and choose the option called repair your computer

    This should start the recovery.
    If something will go wrong during the recovery or recovery hang himself, then press the ESC key to break the procedure and choose repair to follow with the installation.

    Usually, this should help. If this isn't the case, then I guess there is something wrong with the recovery partition.
    In this case, you will need to order the DVD of restoration of Toshiba.

    To do this, see this page:

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how to restore the original condition?

    Hello

    My computer freezes for a second or 2 from time to time and Toshiba support told me it might be a software problem. I don't think, because he began the day I bought the laptop and the display driver keeps on the work stoppage, but because I said that if it's a software problem.
    I would have to pay for it, I want to try everything before sending it for repair. This is why I would like to restore my Satellite in its original state as he was just at the moment where I bought it.

    So basically I have 2 questions:

    1 - does anyone have any idea why it keeps freezing on me? And what I should try to do to fix it?
    2. can someone tell me how to restore the laptop to its original state?

    Thank you very much Dina

    Hello

    To determine if it of a software problem or not, you need to restore the factory setting and if it doesn't work you can go to an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop for you.

    The factory settings can be restored with the Toshiba recovery disc. I guess that your laptop has been delivered with Windows Vista, if you have options to restore factory settings: the Toshiba disk recovery or HARD drive recovery service.

    HARD drive recovery function formats the first partition of your laptop and install Vista again with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It is an image that is stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDRecovery.
    If you go into the advanced with F8 boot menu after you start the computer, you can start this feature of Toshiba. And then select Repair my computer and some Windows files will be loaded. Then, you can choose the function to drive HARD Toshiba Recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk, you must create first, or have you done this yet? Normally, you get a reminder of recovery message after the first start of the laptop that you must burn this disc. Therefore, you must the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and the image in the folder in HARD drive recovery will be burned on the disc. Then you have a startup disk that can restore the factory settings and HARD whole disc formats then back up your data first!
    The recovery disk is necessary if you have a new HDD or Windows start doesn t. Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery.

    I hope I could help a bit and now you understand how to restore the factory settings.
    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

    So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

    But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello!

    The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

    The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
    But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

    The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200 - how to check the temperature of the processor fan?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A200 that my teenagers use a little, or abuse a little! Recently, it would not start up. I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

    Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    How to clean the fan exactly? It s advisable to use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    In addition if the fan doesn't work anymore it of necessary to replace. You can order spare parts at an authorized service provider.

  • Re: Satellite M300 - can I restore Vista from Windows 7?

    Hi, my laptop model is Satellite M300

    I want to ask all can I have used the recovery disks that I created last time when I was with Windows Vista Home Premium, to restore it back to Vista after I format my C drive and install the new OS which is Windows 7?

    So, if I start the recovery disks that I created last time and run it. Is he able to restore Grand Vista as the factory setting?

    Hello!

    First of all what model of laptop you have exactly?

    The Toshiba Recovery disk normally contains factory settings, which means that all the drivers and tools they have been delivered with the laptop.

    But normally on most computers laptops only trial version of Office is preinstalled. It works for 90 days, as far as I know, and after that, it should be bought if you want to use.
    Your laptop comes with a full version of Office?

  • How to restore a back up on top of an external hard drive

    Hello.  I just got a new laptop from HP windows 8 and you want to restore a back up I took my old HP laptop on an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive, the ups return display in the file Explorer, but I can't find a way to restore the backup to the new laptop, the only option I can find is to know how to put in place to save on the hard drive and restore the files that I've just saved from the new laptop.  There is nothing really on the new computer laptop so it doesn't matter if I lose these (and they are now saved when even!), its mainly pictures and iTunes on the back up, a few old excel & word files I think.  When I click on Explorer the external hard drive in the file, there is a PC owner icon that shows a folder named Backup set & the date, he didn't save folders of files for various dates, in the most recent are the backup files 1 & backup files 2, from 2012.

    Hello Jacq,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    As described in the question, I understand that you are unable to find a way to restore your backup of the old computer stored on an external drive on your new computer windows 8.

    In earlier versions of Windows (Windows 7, Vista), you can use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a backup or image system repair disc. Windows 8 and 8.1 gives you choices on how you can recover your PC and backup your personal files.

    You can use the file history to back up the files on your PC in Documents folders, music, photos, videos and office and the OneDrive available offline on your PC. First of all, you need set up a historical file player and turn on the history of the files. For more information, see set up a drive to the history file. If your original files are lost, damaged or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more information, see to restore files or folders by using the history file.

    You can also view the Microsoft article below for more information about restoring your backup of the data on your new computer Windows 8.
