• Satellite A25-S279: how to reinstall XP with Ghost DVD without disc internal

  I have tosbhia satellite a25-s279 and toshiba dvd of ghost.
  My internal dvd drive is broken (w / some difficult, it can play some audio cd of some of the time. it recognizes no cd-rom or dvd). I also have external pioneer dvd writer dvr-s606 (connect to the satellite via USB). I want to reinstall xp.

  The Bios is 1.10, the chipset is ALi M1672 rev 0. You have the option to boot from HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, and LAN drive.
  I think that you also have the option of bootin off pc card, but is not in the Bios.

  It seems (from reading these forums) that my satellite does not support boot from the external drive, so I can't use the ghost disc?

  I found another Web site, which suggests to make bootable USB drive and load xp from the memory stick.
  However, read these forums, it seems, also, that's not possible with my satellite?

  I suppose I can buy a replacement internal dvd drive, but these seem very unreliable, and I already have functioning external drive.

  any other advice would be appreciated.
  Thank you.

  > It seems (from reading these forums) that my satellite does not support boot from the external drive, so I can't use the ghost disc?
  That is right. The external USB CD/DVD drive is not bootable, and you will not be able to boot from the CD

  > I found another website, suggesting to make bootable USB drive and load Xp from the memory stick
  No, it is not possible to boot from the USB key. BIOS does not support this start option

  I think the only way is to buy a hard drive taken in internal load and then boot from the CD.
  You can also try to boot from the local network, but it's not easy and you will need a RIS server.
  I think that this is not really a solution.

• Win 7 restore without disk recovery on Satellite L350-277

  Hi all

  I'm trying to fix Satellite L350-277 of my sister-in-law following a HARD drive failing. Before the crash, he was running Win7 Home Premium (32 bit) that was preinstalled on the HARD drive. I managed to run Belarc on it before it went completely, but could not create the restore disc in time.

  Disk failure HARD seems to be due to bad sectors and once failed, could not get past startup repair. While they were inspecting HARD drive (in the USB enclosure), both C: and D: (backup partition) appeared to be intact, so guessed was discussed with MBR. I have used Clonezilla to clone new HARD drive and I'm now work - failure of HARD drive it's always like it was incase I need to clone again.

  With the HARD drive clone, I first tried to use bootrec.exe but some successful how to 'break' C: and could not see anything in the score.

  BTW I am currently using a copy of DVD retail Win 7 to provide the functions of "restore". However the Toshiba restore capabilities do not appear in the list of options. So I decided then to install everything on C: retail copy to see if I could access toshiba restore functions using data in D:, that doesn't seem to work either.

  Then I stumbled on this thread that gave me the hope to be able to start the Toshiba recory tool:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=44382

  I was hoping that Vista and Win7 preinstalls would be very similar, but the HARD drive has a recovery partition (D:\ HDDRecovery) and seems to fall in step 13. There are two files boot.wim in this partition: 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\sources\boot.wim' and 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\hddprep\sources\boot.wim '. Imaging either of these files does not cause the file according to the instructions of step 13. Here again, the guide is based around the Vista installation...

  So what I try to do is to retrieve the data from the old HARD drive with the damaged boot record in order to restore the Win 7 OS pre-installed Toshiba. I seem to have the data (old HDD still retains files) do not seem to have enough knowledge now do!

  Can someone help me?

  On the one hand I can understand your wish to install the recovery image, but on the other hand, for me personally, this is nothing but waste your time for nothing. In General, recovery image is designed may not be copied or manipulated so this guy was very lucky.

  Problem is that this recovery disk is not created after the purchase of the laptop.

  Maybe it sounds stupid to you, but I recommend you restore disk original order for this machine.
  You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  It costs 30 Euro only. With this money, you will get original recovery disk that includes the operating system active, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and a few additional and useful applications.

  Using this disk, you will be able to have perfectly working machine in just 2 hours.

  One more thing: the use of the disc is unlimited and you can use it 1000 times and each time you have enabled and configured perfectly BONE.

• Satellite A25-S279 - Cant Boot From USB Drive

  Hello everyone. I'm new here.

  Is there anyway that I can boot from a hard disk on the A25 USB? In any case to update the BIOS to give me the option to boot from USB hard drive?

  I already went through the BIOS and used the HWsetup nothing helps.

  I want to run Linux on a mini-usb HDD, I just picked up, but I can't seem to boot from the USB connection.

  Please let me know.

  Hello

  You on the right, the BIOS supports a boot from the USB FDD.
  BUT it is not possible to boot from the USB HARD drive or USB key

  The BIOS offers these startup options:
  HDD, CD/DVD, LAN or USB FDD

• 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.

• 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

  > I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-s5695 laptop, and I had to put a new hard drive in it, but not before I have copied files on an external drive recovery partition.
  After reading this, I must say that this will not work. You can't simply copy these recovery filed on another installation of HARD drive recovery and start. It will not work.
  Either you can start installation of recovery following procedure of Toshiba how to start HARD drive recovery facility or you must create recovery DVDs and use it for the installation of the OS.

  This recovery DVDs can be used on each HARD drive. With other words, you can replace the HARD drive with new and use the recovery image installation DVD.

  Following your logic, each can simply copy files and use it on some laptops. It will not work.
  You have created a DVD Toshiba tips/description on the creation of following recovery from recovery discs?

• HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC: Possible to restore without CD and recovery drive?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC for sharing with my little cousin when he plays his games online. The space on the drive (C :) was almost released because of the many games that it has installed. As such, it has deleted the recovery disk (D :). However, now I need to reformat my computer as it is way too slow with all installed games. How can I proceed without a recovery or a recovery CD/DVD disk?

  Is it possible for me to buy a CD/DVD somewhere or download entire file recovery on a page online?

  Thank you and have a nice day ahead!

  Hello

  Thank you to write back, I do apologize to let you Kow that if the unit was purchased in the USA or at the Canada Shipping of CD would be the only country, the only thing I could think is to have the CD delivered to a person in the United States or the Canada that can send the CD in the country that you are. Other than that, I would recommend instead you to get a retail version of the operating system of any local store and install this file on your computer.

  Although I work for HP, but I am personally.

• Satellite M70-181 to perform the recovery of proceeds of DVD USB drive

  Hello

  I am trying to recreate the image on my Satellite M70 181 using the product recovery DVD.
  Should be easy, you might say, but the internal DVD player no longer works.
  I don't want to buy a new laptop this quite old, so I borrowed an external USB drive.

  After that I inserted the product recovery DVD the notebook starts from there, autoexec creates a RAMDRIVE and copy the files from there.
  "Recover.bat", the external DVD player analysis must be accessible via the X: drive. However, there are has some missing files on the DVD to mount the external DVD drive: there is no file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB20. DEV, nor a file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB11. DEV.
  Failure of the attempt to mount the external hard drive, recover.bat starts a loop saying 'Please insert Recovery CD #1!'.

  What can I do now? Help, please.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As much I know this model of laptop can't boot from USB CD/DVD drive and CD recovery.
  You can boot from the USB FDD drive and a bootable floppy drive but I doubt that this is not possible with a Toshiba restore disk.

  I think that you could use this recovery disk as part of internal ODD.

• Satellite A40: Question about product dvd recovery

  Hello

  Please help me on my computer toshiba Satellite A40 laptop...
  I want to reformat my HARD drive with operating system XP...

  My first question is, it installs my XP OS after that I run the recovery cd?
  I'm afraid that after I run the recovery cd, I'll lose my OS XP...

  I don't have an XP CD... I only got this product recovery cd (disc1)

  There a disc2 because the cd that I got was just disc1...

  Please help me with this...
  Thank you

  Restore CD contains recovery image. Recovery image include the operating system, drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

  When you install recovery image you own preinstalled WXP. For cell old models were most two disks: 1/2 and 2/2 so if you the second you will not be able to install the OS completely.

  However, this tool creates the Toshiba restore disk. This disc contains a picture of the factory settings. This means that the Windows operating system that is pre-installed with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It of easy to use (just boot from the disc), simply follow the instructions on the screen.

  For example, if you install another Windows or Windows peut t start you can use this disk to recover a system that works.

• Satellite A25-s3072 and LG GWA - 4082N DVD - IDE #1 error

  Hello
  I just bought DVD GWA-4082N firmware CS01. It will not work
  with my laptop, Toshiba Satellite A25 (Win XP SP2, latest available
  BIOS v1.4). After having turned it on, 'IDE #1 error' is displayed and windows
  boots without DVD. And it does not appear in Device Manager.
  I find a way to make it appear in windows by changing in BIOS
  'Configuration' of the 'Appliances' section for 'The installer of the OS', but it
  the error still appears. Quite possibly (haven't tried yet, but people say)
  This) laptop does not start a CD in this case. Also, the laptop does not work
  See DVD if I don't open/close the status bar during loading of Windows! He
  blinking light on the BIOS to load stage, but disappear whn Windows begins to load...
  DVD is set to Master by connecting 2 pins (45 & 47), as it was recommended
  in some forums, but it does not solve the problem.
  In addition, put a paper to isolate the pins 45-47 to make it slave does not help either
  (DVD is not displayed in Device Manager).
  Is there a software (csel-changer) to change the master/slave mode available?

  I also try to he reflash with the HV02 page TDB firmware (I understand
  it comes specifically for laptops Toshiba, native of DVD
  with firmware CS01). Here again, "IDE #1 error.
  It is - are there any suggestions, how do works at the BIOS level
  with my laptop? I need CD boot and hate IDE #1 error.
  Is there any firmware specifically for the towers of Toshiba, for this DVD, that allow the BIOS to recognize?
  Please, if you have GWA - 4082N DVD works with your laptop, let me know what is a version of the firmware?
  DVDinfo and Nero InfoTool can help this knowledge.
  Thanks in advance for your suggestions...

  Hello

  As far as I know IDE #1 error occurs if you try to use the incompatible appliance. No doubt is there problem with assignment of pins and thus the device is not recognized by the system.

  As you described, it can be solved by connecting some ankles but if this help of don t I t see any help out there. The BIOS update will not solve the problem. Maybe you should contact Toshiba and ask them if they have a any magic solution.

• 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.

• Can I restore without losing data?

  I don't have my Iphone saved on my computer. I need to get out of a boot loop, but I can't update. Is it possible to restore without losing any of my photos, music, etc.?

  You have a backup of iCloud? Or do you mean that you have no backup at all? Has not created a backup before attempting to update the device? Apple recommend a backup before doing any type of update iOS.

  Without a backup, you will lose data. You can recover from your last backup.
