• Satellite L300D - new drive HARD and recovery USB loading

  I have a satellite L300D. The hard drive has failed. I have the recovery on a USB part. I bought a new hard drive and that you have installed in the laptop.

  I can boot the laptop off the usb and then when I try to do recovery it asks drivers for HARD drive or he asks the recovery DVD to be installed!

  Anyone know if there is something special I need to do to the new HARD drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Do you have created disk recovery or recovery memory flash USB using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator?

  If you have created a recovery disk, you should recover the laptop using this disc

• Satellite C850D-11 q - keyboard and the Touchpad does not

  The laptop is a little more than a year and worked ok until recently.

  Symptoms were the keyboard and the touchpad does not not on page 8 of windows logon. Pressing power to put the laptop into sleep and pressing still often got their work.

  He progressed to the keyboard and the touchpad works do not randomly points while the use of the laptop.

  Finally cleared the HARD drive and restored windows 8 alone, the laptop still BSOD quite frequently - refuses to install the updates required for 8.1 and the keyboard and mouse often do not work even in BIOS Setup page. I reinstalled the RAM and HARD drive.

  Short of ideas, the keyboard and the touchpad work and so I guess that their connections are correct - but often they just stop.

  Any ideas appreciated?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > Finally cleared the HARD drive and restored windows 8 only
  I hope that you created before Toshiba recovery disks you have formatted the system.
  Did you?

  The recovery disks will allow you to reset the laptop to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  > First symptoms were the keyboard and the touchpad does not not on page 8 of windows logon. Pressing power to put the laptop into sleep and pressing still often got their work.
  Well, usually the keyboard problems are not problems system or software as the keyboard driver is part of the system and an additional installation of some drivers is not really essential and necessary.
  That is why in most of the cases the keyboard problems could be the causes of physical problems.

  However, after using the recovery disc and the parameters of the laptop back to factory State, both parties (keyboard and touchpad) should work perfectly.

  > the BSOD laptop still quite frequently - refuses to install the updates required for 8.1
  BSOD doesn't look very good. As mentioned above; parameters of the laptop back to factory settings should solve all the problems in the system. In the case where the BSOD appears even if the power has been turned back to factory State, a hardware problem could be the reason for this.

  I had also some problems with the update 8.1 Win. The system to win 8 could not find the Win 8.1.
  But the reason for this was simply. I had to install all updates to Win 8 and had to update the State system before trying to update to the next level following 8.1 Win

  So, what can I say: I will try to put the laptop initial configuration using the recovery disk.
  Then I would try to get automatic updates (a few reboots were essential too). After that, I would check the functionality of the keyboard and the touchpad. In the case where them parts would not work, I would contact the service to check if the two pieces.

• Satellite A205-S5804 - after installing Microsoft sync, it does not start

  Hello

  This model uses by me. I downloaded it from Vista to XP.

  After installing Microsoft Sync, you need to restart and my laptop does not start after that. HD is indicated and known on the BIOS.

  Any help please?
  BR

  Hello

  > After installing Microsoft Sync it requires a reboot and after that my laptop does not start.
  And it does n average boot t?
  You get an error message? The laptop freezes on start up? Do you get a BSOD?

  I put t know how you can solve this problem, but can you go into the advanced boot menu? You can start in safe mode?

  In my opinion Microsoft installation synchronization destroyed something in Windows and in the worst case, reinstall the whole OS.
  :(

• Satellite M70-173 - fatal error - new drive HARD and recovery.

  Excuse my lack of knowledge.

  I received a Satellite M70-173.

  to turn on before charging readings - fatal error; I have to save all my data and replace the hard drive.

  I don't know if it's fixable and that's what I have to do. I also said that when you replace a HARD disk I need a recovery disk.

  I reside in Cyprus and don't have is not easy access to the shops of style PC big supermarket.

  I was wondering if I could use a generic HDD and if so is there a particular one that I need to acquire?

  Also

  where would I go to get a recovery disk?

  I got the laptop I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment and it is still in very good condition apart from the above-mentioned problems!

  I wish that all the advice on what type of HARD drive, I would need or is available - rough cost so I don't get ripped off and if we change the disk HARD is as easy as I read. Also where I should go to get a recovery disc and if that's all I need to fix the laptop.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help I can get.

  Peter

  > The laptop does turn on - is it possible to make a recovery of a damaged laptop disk

  How do you do if you can't turn on the laptop?

  What you could do is to remove the HARD drive, then place it into the drive enclosure HARD 2.5 external, then connect the HARD drive to another computer, to save the data.

  In my opinion this is what you could do

• Satellite A205-S5880 (PSAE3U) downgrade Vista to XP - does not detect HARD drive

  Hi all
  I got this hair loss situation, I had a satellite A205 - S5880 (PSAE3U) and decided to downgrade to XP, I got all ready drivers for XP (I have the EMEA support site and the wireless from a Czech website), I have my windows XP SP2 g CD and I get after loading everything Since the CD that my HD is not detected or not recognized and it tells me to make sure I have connected (I know I do).

  After doing a search of loong on the web, I discovered I have need the drivers (or something like that) to my HD which is a Hitachi HTS542520K9SA00 ATA Device (200 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA). My bios won't let me put my SATA to IDE (or something like that) also to update and nothing, please I need my Windows XP CD to read my HARD drive, and I can take care of the rest (at least I think so, otherwise I'll ask again: D).

  I also found that I can watch my motherboard chipset for motherboard for my HD controller, it ' s (i think) a toshiba ILHAM v1.00 or Intel Crestline - GM GM965.
  Maybe this info also works: Intel ICH8M

  Hello!

  You will find hundreds of discussions here in the forum about this, if you install Windows XP and Vista from a Microsoft disc and the HARD drive can't be detected... So he s strange to read these questions again and again.

  However, to install Windows, you need the SATA drivers or let's say the Intel Storage Manager package. It contains the driver you need. You can then create a new installation using nLite [www.nliteos.com]
  Or look you at this Toshiba document: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  Good bye

• DV7: Issues after replacing drive HARD and restoration

  The original HARD drive failed.  I bought the game to restore HP 3 discs and a new larger HARD drive.  Restoration seems to be okay, but I am plauged by weird questions: I can not connect to the homegroup (a fine connected before) actually solving the problems of the homegroup does not work.  I compared it to another laptop that connects and the setting looks the same.

  I got tired of this project, so I went to install Norton Security of Comcast.  I started using the tool of removal of Norton and then installed the packange of Comcast. Still, the installation seemed fine, but it will not be activated.  Norton online gives me an error "misc".  Coincidence?

  I read some chatter about moving to a larger and faster HARD drive may need driver updates.  Any thoughts?

  I used Norton removal (again) and downloaded the security suite from Comcast (again) and TaDA!  Success.  Why this time?  I have no idea, but it worked.  Thanks for responding

• Satellite L750D/L755D - its integrated and DVD player does not work.

  Hey

  First of all I have no idea where to post this.
  Beside that, I'm clueless about take you over the page. (which lets you choose the computer laptop/build/etc etc)
  So here I am

  I have a Toshiba - Satellite-L750D/L755D

  He came Pentecost 7 windows, but after a lot of trouble, and since I hate windows 7 more then any other OS.
  I bought windows 8, which is now upgraded to 8.1 the last update as you know.
  Since the same beginning whit windows 7 built-in speakers not work as they should.
  And small piece I want to say at the start that they have worked... BUT for 5-10 sec, then it just stopt.

  But the strange part of it is if I connect a sound box the sound works perfectly and does not either.
  I'm not an expert in the field. but since I grew up whit it I know a little bit about it.

  I think it's something whit drivers that are corrupt or don't work well together.
  Now search across the web around trying to find a solution but not done whit no progress at all.
  You may think different, but I think that this Web site is the worst of all. lol sorry I have to be true.

  He asks what kind of satellite I what I know but who is not in the list, anywhere!
  Then try to find the right driver which is probably need is a little impossible.
  Next to this no disc drive of mine no longer works.

  No matter what or what disc I put in, after all he'll say that there is no disk or the disk is empty.
  And no, this isn't the issue because if I put in another laptop / pc, it works very well.
  I'm getting a little tired of it because I paid more than 700 euros for this laptop.
  To know that I could use it properly for 3 months, after that it started to happen.
  I'm still paying every month for this laptop, which is unusable at all.

  Why? because I had no sound, and the reason I bought a laptop from Pentecost 8 GB of ram is for games.
  Now to do games come whit a disc, if your laptop can not read you wasted more money. (new)

  I really need help whit this and hope I am on the right place for it.
  Because I'm on the point just throw it out the window.

  If you want to know more information ask around. I give you everything I know.
  But also didn't really know what to write here, next to the problems I faced.
  .
  Oh yes before I forget, I tried to get the drivers whit me serial nr.
  And guess what? It does not exist! And no, I'm not stupid, that's good.

  Help, please!

  Hi Theo

  At first, I want to clarify one important fact: it is user community.
  I guess you did not however, I want to help you provide essential information.

  First of all some ideas concerning the problem of CD/DVD drive:
  As you probably know that the lens of the laser s internal drive is important to read or write data on the disk (CD or DVD). In case this laser lens is dirty or would not calibrate properly, the disc could not be treated properly.

  I m also an owner of some different notebooks and I had the same problem in the past. I could fix it by cleaning the laser lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol. I was not very difficult to clean the lens, and after this procedure simply the disc can be read correctly.
  I recommend you to clean the laser lens and verify if it would help to address this problem.

  Regarding the sound issue:
  You have posted some info on the series of the laptop but I put t know which model of laptop you have exactly: Satellite L750D-xxx
  It would be interesting to know which model you have exactly.

  In any case, always is, and the problem could be related to software or hardware problems.
  Software problems could be solved by putting the laptop back to factory settings (using the procedure of recovery, Recovery disk). Of course, this would mean that you would get the Win 7 OS on the laptop and your personal data would be deleted. So save the data if it is important for you.

  Of course it would be also desirable to reinstall the audio driver.
  The Toshiba UE driver page provides all the drivers for the laptop Toshiba EU models
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Since most of the Satellite L750D-xxx models use the same sound chip, you can choose any series L750D for the right audio driver.
  Note: the audio driver should be removed (uninstalled) before beginning the installation of the new driver.
  This could be done in the Device Manager.

• (Redirected) Replace R4 MB and the RAID does not

  My mother board 7JNH0 Aurora original R4 does not, so I found a replacement for the same thing make and model, but the part number is FPV4P.  seems to be a PIN for the replacement of the PIN.

  When I installed the new MB it does not start with the raid drives.  It was established as a RAID 0 + 1.

  The BIOS sees the 4 HD and is set to RAID.

  Configure the RAID sees readers and says volume 0 is normal and all four pilots are reported as part of the volume.

  What other settings I need to change to get the new motherboard to see the RAID volume?

  Thank you!

• Satellite U50T-to-10F - keyboard and touchpad MOMENTUM does not

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U50T-A-10F, who did the usual round off the coast and was updated last night won't however when I turned it on the wheel mouse and keyboard does not work I managed to get hold of because the touch screen still works, but nobody knows why it would update then?

  Tried phone support but only open from Monday to Friday, I took out of warranty extended thanks to God!

  According to the bulletin of Toshiba technical support document, the touchpad can be disabled only and using the function keys it should be possible to activate the touch pad once more.

• Satellite A30 - electric light flashes and the battery does not charge

  Hi guys,.

  I have the model above and recently, when I plug in my power cord to the back of the laptop instead of the usual constant green light loading, the indicator flashes and the light orange low battery always flashes as well.

  I have checked the plug, unplugged the power cord from the laptop and plugged back again but does not help. A few times it started loading so everything went well and now he again refuses to load.

  Any suggestions how I can solve this will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Dante

  Looks like a hardware problem

  Usually if the power light blinks then it does not sound good because the LED provides an error code which can be read by a technician for laptop

  But before you will contact the technician for laptop for help, try to do it:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
  Wait about 20-30 minutes and then reconnect the two parts.

  Then try to turn on the laptop

  If it doesn t help that it s time for the call of the ASP

• Satellite C660-2EF - error at startup what is PXE - E61 media test failure

  Hi there im wondering if anyone can help with this question, coming from the old computer school where it was a pain in the back to fix things, but you knew kind where you were, I don't know where I am!
  I mean, why the hell / modern machine manufacturers make it harder to sort out the problems! ???

  I DOWNLOADED them a FEW PICTURES ON MY WEB site (to use the space!) the address is my own and there is no questionable content or threats out there so feel free to take a look to see if you can help!

  > dear toshiba, he is a stupid way to package a laptop without disc or recovery and I'm without a copy of manufacturers of windows 7 to my laptop, if you ask me its quite half cooked by design and very annoying.

  First of all its user forum at
  Second: read operating instructions you will find information on the recovery disc this disc must be created in the first day of buying using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > my old toshiba satellite c660-2ef decided at the United Nations 10 months to recognize the HARD drive itself and after checking bindings cables and a good visual check, I went as far as buying a new SSD to replace the old drive as his is dead, it does not work either.

  Not all SSD drives are compatible it might be a BIOS<->SSD drive compatibility issue but its certainly NOT BIOS corruption as you suggested.
  Sometimes, manufacturers of SSDS offer an update of the firmware of SSD
  If these updates does not resolve the SSD drive, try another disc SSD
  But in general the disk SATA SSD or HDD must be supported.

  > How the hell can I reinstall windows on my pc without a disc of recovery and now theres absolutely nothing on my HARD drive?

  You need a recovery disk you didn t he created in the past please order it here:

• Satellite P20 - formatting drive HARD and the installation of Windows XP Sp2

  Hello world

  Beforehand, I want to thank you for taking the time to help me with my questions.

  Due to system problems I'm trying to re - install Windows XP SP2.

  Based on the installation process, I have two questions:

  1. when I start the PC, the operating system Windows XP installation CD in the CD drive, I am unable to run it directly. Instead the old operating system (which I want to remove) starts. Is there a specific key in the Toshiba P20 notebook that runs the CD automatically? I understand that when the Windows XP installation CD to run it gives me the option to format the HARD drive.

  2. If I want to format the HARD disk directly, what is the best way to do this?

  Once again, thank you very much for the help

  Best regards

  Q.

  Hello

  I assume that you have the original CD of Microsoft Windows XP.
  To install a new OS, you must start on this CD.

  Insert the CD and after laptop starting immediately press the F12 key.
  This will enable the Startup menu, and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

  As to question 2;
  During the installation of XP Setup will ask you the HARD drive formatting. Simply to choose this option and the HARD drive will be formatted.

  Good bye

• Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

  Good evening

  I have a Satellite L300. A month ago, I bought and install an upgrade to Windows 7 (I had Vista). Last night, my laptop was working fine and this morning when I opened it I got this error:

  BOOTMGR is corrupt. the system cannot start.

  I did some research and tried to boot from the recovery disc. Laptop computer the disc I get the windows is looding files screen and then a company Microsoft is displayed with a bar above it and then I get a blue screen that says:

  PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED vista

  Now what can I do to reformat my computer and reinstall if I can't load the recovery disc!

  I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

  Can someone tell me what I can do now?

  Is it because I have a recovery CD for Windows Vista and not 7?

  Okay, so I read several post here and the only thing I can't think is the hard drive... but it had already changed a few months ago by Toshiba... now my laptop is not less guarantee more with Toshiba, but I have an extended warranty with my VISA... If anyone has any idea here, I'll try to bring it where they change HARD drive the last time...
