• Satellite A25-S279: restore without a recovery CD?

  What is the appropriate way to restore a computer without a recovery cd? It has a XP code in the background, and that's all I have. The laptop is: A25-S279.

  Thank you.

  Well... you have certainly a Win XP OS.
  If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD then you can order it from the ASP in your country.

  In other cases you can try to reinstall the OS Win since the original CD of Microsoft. Please note that the key which is placed at the bottom of the laptop doesn t work with other versions of Windows XP and the CDs.

  Therefore, buy an original CD of Win XP.

  Then you can download and reinstall the XP drivers from the Toshiba page us because this laptop is designed only for the American market.

• Satellite A25-S207: how to force the PXE boot?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A25-S207 and a big problem!

  I want to start my laptop using PXE to install Suse Linux. I already did 3 months ago. It worked perfectly, but at that time, I did start command configuration using the utility on Windows. I had to install Linux PXE, because my CD drive does not work.

  Now, to complete my tragic situation, my HD failure! As long as my CD-ROM does not work, the only way I can at least try to bring my data partition is trying to reformat the system partition, install Suse and copy the data in my office. At least until I can buy another CD-ROM unit.

  But how do I set the BIOS to boot from PXE without the utility of Windows? I know that by pressing the C key while booting, the CD-ROM startup is enabled, but does anyone know a similar option to choose the PXE boot?

  I appreciate really have no idea!

  Thank you!!

  Best regards!

  Now I have I already did once, since my CD-ROM combo is 'dead '.

  If you press N immediately after laptop starting so the unit should be able to boot from the local network.
  Also in the Toshiba HWSetup under tab BootPriority PXE network boot protocol must be selected.

  Hello

  The recovery process is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  If the disk HARD recovery doesn't work, you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. Usually, this disc you must create yourself with pre-installed recovery disc creator. This is mentioned in the user manual, but you haven't read?

  Fact is now it s too late to do this because Windows doesn't start anymore, but what you can do is to order a resumption of Toshiba directly:

  First of all. Plug your AC cable and shut down your laptop. Then he turns on again and press 0 (zero, not on the NUM pad). Wait for the recovery menu to appear and choose the necessary recovery options.

  My Satellite U300 (bought in 2008) came with Vista and a fallback to option of XP pre-installed. I drove back to XP at the time. Now, end of support from Microsoft for XP, I would like to re - install the Vista operating system.
  I have the recovery disks, but there is a wizard to help the resettlement?

  Or is there a function to restore to original factory setting, which I guess would be Vista? (I backed up all my files where a clean install is required). Any help appreciated, thanks.

  I checked the specifications of the laptop and this laptop model was offered with Vista preinstalled and DVD recovery Windows XP Home edition. In General original recovery image can be installed with the recovery disk. You got laptop with Vista pre-installed (without the Vista recovery disk) allowing you to create the Vista recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

• Satellite L300D-13s - how can I restore with corrupted disk 2

  The laptop is a Satellite L300D-13 s.

  I tried to restore the laptop using the restore discs, the first disc has worked well, but he did not recognize the second disk. No matter what I have I could not get to read this disc.

  I then tried the F8 option of us to restore the drive, but I got the missing Bootmgr message. I tried F8 using the DVD, but it doesn't have a restore option.

  Using the option to boot with a record I did access the E drive and discovers the HDDRecovery directory but not found something that would allow me to run a restore.

  Y at - it an option to do a restore in this way, or can I restore another way?

  Your help would be appreciated gratefully.

  Hello

  Recovery procedure can be performed on two tracks:
  -Via recovery CD/DVD or
  -From the HDD recovery procedure

  If there is problem with the created discs, then you should try to use the second option. It works as follows:
  -Start your laptop and press F8 for Advanced Startup Options
  -Here you will see the option to fix my computer
  -Choose this option and follow the on-screen menu.
  -Then, you will encounter the system recovery options
  -The last option is the Toshiba recovery procedure. Select it and follow the on-screen menu.

  Please note: this will work if you didn t change partition structure, installed OS clean or deleted the folder HDDRecovery.

  At the end I have to say, if nothing helps, and if you are not able to install the OS by using one of these methods I see a solution only: you must order the new recovery DVDs.

• Satellite A25-S279 - RTC error, but F1 key does nothing.

  The error I get:

  "RTC * battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent."

  Press F1 to set Date/time. »

  I have read many similar topics with the same problem, but with mine, I can't enter the BIOS if I press the F1 key. Is it normal when occurs the error above? I thought enter the BIOS was not dependent on the RTC battery. Currently, I have the laptop turned on and thinking of leaving at least 8 hours, as many people have said. However, having no answer by pressing the F1 key concerns me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Please check you user manual. I put t know what chapter but check the battery info.
  The same mistake has been mentioned in my user manual and here the solution is very simple;
  You must charge the battery of the CCF. This battery provides power to the motherboard.

  You charge the battery for 12-18 hours. Leave the laptop connected to the power supply during this period.

  To set the time and date, you need to access the BIOS. I think you click everything first ESC then F1 to access in the BIOS settings. Try it.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A210 - how to retrieve it with the recovery disk lost?

  I had some problems with my individual Pro A210 (AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Vista, 120 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM), and it seems that I did the recovery disks when new and you have misplaced them.

  What can I do?

  The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

  Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

  If this does not work, press F8 rapidly after the Toshiba start screen to enter in the Windows Start menu, where you can choose to run the recovery/restore.

• Satellite A25-S279 - screen is too bright all of a sudden

  I went to the MS site for cleartype fonts and fooled. I did not like the cleartype fonts, so I manually turn off in windows and internet explore.

  However, something happened that is causing the entire screen to be very bright makes all the washed out colors. I plugged in the VGA output for a CRT monitor, and brightness/colors are there.

  My keyboard has been broken for a while, so I use an external USB keyboard, which means that I can not access the FN key. I did to in in Windows display properties, but the sliders he for the Trident card which adjust brightness, saturation, and tint cannot be moved. Sound like they are there permenantly.

  Also, I went into the Bios and made sure he was using the default settings.

  Anything else I can try? Do not have the restore CD.

  Thank you.

  Possibly there s nothing wrong with the brightness setting.
  You said that you don't like the cleartype fonts and have disabled manually in windows and internet explore.
  Perhaps this is a reason to deliver you

  Have you tried to put the BONE to this early time?
  I mean the point of time before you turn off cleartype fonts?

  I think that you should do this to make sure that this option screen brightness doesn t affect.

  Greetings
