Satellite A30: need recovery CD

Hi all

I lost my recovery A30 #1 2 cd. I have a win XP CD home I installed, however the product from the bottom of my laptop key does not work with this cd, is reported as invalid.

Is there anyway that I can get my hands on a cheap restore cd? Or better yet, get the XP drive working correctly?

TIA

Hello

First of all you cannot use this key to activate any Windows operating system.
The key you found at the back of the CD case, you can use it to activate a Note program that was preinstalled on the image of Toshiba!
The recovery CD, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

PS: You n t need to activate the operating system from the recovery CD. It s already active.

  • Satellite A30 product recovery CD

    I need to restore the HD of Satellite A30 of my boy.
    He gave me that one DVD 'product Recovery DVD-ROM'
    He is also says "2/2", which I suppose that it is disk 2 of 2.

    This DVD is not bootable. so I guess there could be a disk of 1/2 which is bootable and contains the basic recovery program.

    My question: am reason above supported and if yes, where can we get the first DVD, since my boy seems to have lost it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    You are right! There must be a n ° 1/2 recovery DVDs!

    If you (or your son) have lost it, you can order a new one for every Service Toshiba partner. You only have to sign a solemn declaration for MS that you have lost the CD!

    To http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the support & downloads you will find a list of partners of Service Toshiba!

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • Satellite A30: Need driver for button front

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A30 laptop computer on which I have freshly installed WinXP (no recovery CD). It now extends so far as well. Now I'm looking for drivers for the front buttons.
    I could not find in the download of A30 (pilot controls!) Can someone tell me, where I can find these? Thanks in advance!

    PS: Sorry for my bad English! :)

    Hello

    This is not true. You can install the driver from Toshiba on the Windows XP BUT you must install the drivers of Toshiba and utility in the right order!
    It is not very easy.
    As far as I know to install the chipset driver first. The Easy button driver is responsible for shortcut keys.

    Installation of standby power in use? For me, this tool has nothing to do with the keys, but I found the info you need to the system management Bus driver. With related management system and power System Management Bus (SMBus) chips can communicate with the rest of the system.

    However, I found a lot of QFE on the page of the driver to be installed also. As you can see the manual installation is very easy and that's why he s is recommended to use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  • Satellite P855 - need recovery partition properties

    Hello

    as I intend to migrate the HDD to ssd I resized the windows disc 8 and then the toshiba recovery partition after windows system 8, but it seems that this movement has really changed the properties/id of the partition.

    Could you please tell me the properties the ID VALUE of the toshiba recovery partition so I can change it again?
    The size of the partition, the content and everything is untoched, but when I try to open the recovery tool, it says that it cannot find the recovery partition.

    I know I shouldn't mess with partitioning, but I want to change the laptop on a faster drive.

    Thank you very much.

    Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas

    Now it's too late for anything. Structure of the partitions is changed and you cannot get it back to the original state.
    Change SSD HARD drive is not the problem, but your mistake is that you don't l l create USB recovery media or recovery disk.
    After changing the HDD to SSD, you could use this media to reinstall the OS. In this case new recovery partition is created automatically.

    What you need now is the recovery disc for a clean installation of image recovery.

  • Satellite A300 - need recovery disk

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 with Windows Vista pre installed, but I did not receive any CD or DVD with Vista. I have just a sticker with the CD key on the back of the laptop.

    I installed Windows XP for personal reason and now I want to reinstall Windows Vista by using the HDD Recovery folder.
    Can I install or I should have done a DVD with Vista?

    Thank you

    Sorry, but now you are not able to install Vista with HARD drive recovery. HARD drive recovery can only be used on a system Windows Vista installed XP doesn t support this function.

    Your mistake was that you didn't burn the recovery disk with Vista Toshiba recovery disc creator, and now, you are not able to burn it.

    The only way to return Vista is the recovery disk, and now you have to order it on the site of Toshiba or an authorized service provider.

  • Re: Satellite A30: need for XP Pro installation instructions

    Hi all

    After a hd crash, I have to install XP on my A30. I can´t find the recovery cd, so I bought a new version of XP pro.
    Unfortunately, I'm not able to find the Setup instructions for my model :(
    Only drivers and utilities could be downloaded...

    Someone at-experience insttalling in the right order... I know that toshiba just like it in their right way ;)

    concerning
    Claudia

    Well, the driver installation is very easy.
    After successful installation of the Win XP operating system in this laptop download all drivers Toshiba and MS QFEs and install it.

    The right installation order would be desirable but it s not a bible. If you can try your own install command.
    I recommend installing the chipset utility after installing all patches QFE from Toshiba page.

    Best regards

    It is said with the firmware I found on the page of toshiba FW Update Tool.exe Firmware already updated drivers.
    Is there an original Firmware for the A30 Series?

    Hello

    On the HARD drive there is not a recovery partition type of hidden and you should be able to use the full capacity of the HARD drive. The problem is that we do not know what you have done exactly.

    Have you installed OS on already created partition or you have created a new using 50% of the capacity of the HARD drive?
    Maybe now you create logical drive. Please check this in computer management > disk management. You can find it with a right click on computer > manage.
