• Satellite A300-211 - can I use creator of recovery disk to create other discs?

  My laptop is Satellite A300-211

  My question is can I use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn CDs and DVDs next to the Windows image?

  Hi mate,

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator can create the Toshiba Recovery disk and that s all!

  If you want to burn the other CD or DVD, you can use other software such as Nero or CD Burner XP. The last one is a free and really nice. It has many functions and is very low. Check it!

  Hello

  Why you didn t create a DVD recovery Toshiba at the beginning?

  In my view, there is info in the user manual and a notification that recovery HARD disk image should be burnt on the DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  I don't know if you will be able to reinstall Vista now without buying the DVD of recovery of m.

  Try to boot the computer and press the F8 key. Usually a start menu should appear providing some options. The first option called fix my computer will allow you to reinstall Vista. But I doubt that this option is now available after installation of XP!

  This is why you last chance would be a recovery DVDs you can buy here:

• Satellite P200-1 - can I use 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am always working on my Satellite P200-1 and now, my HDD1 is full.

  I see that there is a location for a second HDD. But I can't find the plug!

  Therefore, it is possible to connect a second HDD on my satellite P200-1BY? Because I bought a new HARD drive and I can't plug it, I only have 7 days to return the HARD drive to the store.

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hello

  If the connector to the second HARD drive is not available there is no way to use two internal hard drives.
  This HARD back and buy HDD external, placed in the HARD disk box. This HARD drive you can connect using the USB cable and it is the best solution for you.

  I guess that HARD disk internal, you have lots of data that you don't need every day and you can save it to external HARD drive. So you can do free space on the internal HARD disk.

  I do the same.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite A300-1MO - can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?

  I have an A300-1 MB.
  Can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?
  Or is it as a specific for my A300-1 MB?

  I'm like a total noob...
  Someone pls help...!

  No, you cannot use any recovery disk, you must use the recovery disc designed for this model of laptop.
  The point is that recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package that contains the OS and Toshiba drivers
  If you want to use another recovery disc then the image would be installed with no compatible drivers and this could lead to other problems

  Every new notebook from Toshiba offers a Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool. This tool can create a recovery disk

• Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

  Hello world!

  Need help with my Satellite A300. I lost the recovery disc optical I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I try to burn a new disc of recovery can't get the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the left recovery files - a folder named HDDRecovery with 4.5 GB size. The problem is to know how to burn the disc.

  Can anyone help?

  iMate, Sweden

  Hello!

  You have reinstalled the laptop with your own version of Windows?

  The problem is that the recovery disc creator can t be downloaded. So I think you use HARD drive recovery function to restore the factory settings. After that, it is perhaps possible to burn the disc of recovery again.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite Pro A40 - can I change the HARD disk or the same model?

  Hi Forum,

  do I have to wait for safe trouble by changing the hard disk between the following laptops:

  old or damaged laptop:
  SPA40 model PSA45E - 0013T - number GR
  Series No. 34127882 H

  new/own laptop
  SPA40 PSA45E-001VM-GR model number
  Series N0.34117607H

  Thanks in advance for your advice

  Concerning

  You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
  On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

  Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

• Satellite L350 - How can I use my recovery disk?

  I have a Satellite L350 and you must return to the original settings. I created a recovery disc but don't know what to do from here.

  Before to start a restoration process, back up all important data. The, enter the Bios (F2 at startup) and the value of cd/ddvrom under the 1st boot device. Press f10 to save and exit. Insert the diskette and reboot the laptop. Then follow the instructions on the screen and that's it. Knowledge, during the recovery process that your computer restarts repeatedly :)

• Can Qosmio G50 - 11R - I use two hard disks?

  On the Qosmio G50 - 11R

  Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop?

  As far as I know, you can only use one HARD disk in the Qosimo G50 - 11R.

  But you can check this, if you remove the second HARD drive cover (it's the only screw) and there may be a second HARD drive connector or not, so I think.

• Satellite A300 - how to use two hard disks?

  My Satellite A300 came with two 200 GB hard drives (drives C and D). What is the best way to use the D drive? Now I have nothing about it. If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?

  A basic question, I know, but the manual provides no information on this subject.

  Hey Dearborn,

  > If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?
  No, D: drive will not be filled automatically.
  When installing the program, you will be asked which drive they will be installed. So you can choose between C: and D: drive.

  In general there are no rules the use of two hard disks. You can do what you want.
  In my opinion the best is if you install all the programs on C: drive (first HARD drive) and save your private files such as photos, videos, documents, etc. on drive D: (second HARD drive). Its advantage is that if you need to reinstall Windows at all times, these files on the second HARD drive will not be deleted. ;)

• Satellite A110-275: can I use FAT32 instead of NTFS with recovery CD?

  Satellite A110-275
  Can I use the file system fat32 instead of ntfs disk recovery system.

  Hello

  Well, on the Toshiba Recovery CD you will find only the ghosts.
  This ghost files contains image with all the files and data from HARD drive.
  I guess that the image was made on NTFS.

  I think it s not able to change the file system on the HARD disk without formatting or losing data on this HARD drive.
  If you want to change the FAT32 file system, you must format the HDD to FAT32.

  But I put t know why you want to do. It makes no sense to me.
  In my opinion, the NTFS system is more powerful than FAT32

• Satellite A300-17 - can I go with SSD?

  Can I put a SSD for my computer and size is available?

  Hello

  Yes, you can also install an SSD HARD drive instead this should be no problem because the laptop support already SATA interface. So you need a 2.5 SSD that will adapt to your computer.

  The exchange of HARD drive is described here:

  I intend to install XP SP2 as a dual operating system.

  Where should I start? What should I be wary and be careful?
  What bios update (XP update last 1.7)?

  Thanks, I appreciate all the help

  Before you try to install Windows XP to create a new partition.
  Then boot from the XP CD and install it. After that, you must restore the bootloader of Windows Vista using EasyBCD, for example.
  All that s!
