• Re: Satellite A300 cannot start, cannot use the factory recovery

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A300, which gave me problems in the past few weeks...

  I use Windows Vista

  There are about 2 months in the beginning of the laptop problem, it restarts itself automatically before enter in windows (while in the windows loading screen, no blue screen, screen just suddenly darkens and restarts itself), but it will get finally in windows successfully after a few loops

  but about 3 weeks ago, it just keeps looping and never get into windows, good news, it is that it can capture mode safe without problem

  I've done everything I can to try and save, as play with msconfig, drivers, removing the Rams etc, but not luck

  so, I save everything in safe mode and decided to restore the machine factory, but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!

  any idea? or y at - it another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop? is it a hardware problem or software?

  I thought about the creation of recovery disks but my cd drive is not working properly, and I don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...

  Thank you very much!

  >.. .i don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...
  That of right, but you must understand that it is not easy on this virtual path to offer an accurate explanation and diagnosis for your problem.

  It is not easy to tell whether it is hardware or software related issue. best way to test is installation of recovery image. Recovery image is tested and if there are no some portable hardware problem should work fine. How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  >.. .or is there another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop?
  Something like this is not possible. Windows that you use now needs to be reinstalled. I don't know why you the laptop restarts, but it's also the risk of recovery image installation. In case this recovery image installation will be interrupted, you will have two problems:
  -image of original recovery saved on your HARD drive will be unusable
  -you will not be able to start t

  In your situation the best is to minimize this risk and have original recovery DVD that can be used if something goes wrong.
  > but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!
  Can you please explain what is exactly happening? Is - this laptop is simply cut off / go to the coast and then reboot again or what?

• Satellite A300 - cannot locate any wireless network

  Hi all

  I just bougth today a Satellite A300, everything works fine except the wireless access. Ethernet access works very well, and the problem is not with my wireless device since it works with my old laptop.

  It cannot locate any wireless network. It does not appear to be activated WLAN and I don't know how to enable it in the BIOS.

  The swicht wireles on the front of the laptop is turned ON, but not the function Fn + F8 appearing at all.

  Can anyone help please?

  What you mean with this WLAN is in the BIOS not enabled? Normally, you can change all BIOS options then try to activate it.
  Also make sure that the WLAN switch is on and active with FN + F8.

  Visit the Toshiba for a driver and the update to the BIOS:

• Satellite A300 - cannot install the BT stack

  Hello evryone,

  I had a problem with the bt stack and the file "setupdiu.exe".

  When I try to install battery bt it tries automatically to uninstal the battery, the problem is I get the error:
  "The file Setupdiu.exe is not marked for installation.

  I looked everywhere, but the only solution given is: delete the folder "C:\Program Files Toshiba Stack.

  I got this deleted file, I got the hidden files and I tried to remove the map with CMD and all other means to delete something with her, but he tells me that the map does not exist.

  I deleted the folder bluetooth stack for windows by toshiba in my registry and restarted, this also does not work.

  I have Windows Vista Home premium (32 bit) and my laptop is a toshiba satellite A300-1OS.

  I tried the "Difficulty" of Toshiba, this installed bluetooth stack tool and I run, helped not a little.

  I really want to have this problem, because he bug on the other bluetooth software and connection.

  (Sorry for my bad English)

  I am grateful to anyone who can help,
  Live Justin

  I think the problem is, as you said, that the previous version was not properly removed. I would setup a tool such as
  "ccleaner" (free Internet) and clean your system registry and files. Maybe it works eventually. If not then your system in Mode safe start (press F8 during startup and check your system files again if some battery Bluetooth related files still exists and remove them if necessary)

• Satellite A300-1QD - start some time and memory errors won't test

  Hello

  I have some real problems with a brand new satellite A300 1QD.
  After update of Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (Service Pack2) Vista unbootable. After the reboot of forst, it showed a message:

  File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
  Status: 0xc0000221
  Info: the file is corupt possibaly. the header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

  AprΦs the dΘmarrage of the original CD Vista Home Premium or the Systembuilder OEM another error appeared:

  Error: 0xc000000f
  Missing or damaged \Windows\system32\winload.exe

  Does not even work by pressing F8 during startup. I have a chance to start even a repair because there is no option that I could choose.

  After a few resets the A300 seems to have some problems.
  A few times the display does not start, after the other it does not, start by hanging up during the automatic test etc.
  I have reset the BIOS by default Options, but it does not help.

  The A300 are one week. Am I allowed to remove a RAM bar without losing the warranty?
  I have read that sometimes it helps. I was able to do a memtest software vista. It is said that some hardware conflicts appeared.

  I am desprate, please help.

  EDIT:
  I did another test memory with linux 64 bit (openSUSE 11.1) and many erros occurred.
  What can I do now? The laptop is a present fpr my girlfriend Monday 15. Can I order other RAM and return that broke with a Numbor RMA or something?

  EDIT2:
  I recognized, that sometimes, when I start the laptop, the power led is the lightning to the top, but the satellite logo in the left corner remains dark.

  Oh, by the way, excuse my English, I hope that I can make myself clear enough that you can help me ^^

  I guess that you have solved this issue thank you for your comments mate!

• Satellite A300 - cannot find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello!
  I'm of the Greece so I apologise for any errors of syntax, I can do.
  My girlfriend has the Satellite A300 PSAJ4E but his hard disk was destroyed, so I bought him a new (WD Scorpio Black 500 GB) and I downloaded the original Windows 7 MSDNAA to install on the laptop.
  The problem is that it doesn't have the drivers cd so I have to find them on the internet. The other problem is that on the Toshiba official support site it is not found the laptop or the drivers for it.
  So please help me find them. Or tell me if I can insert some of the other Toshiba laptop drivers to it.
  I am ready to format and everything and I don't have the drivers.
  Thank you!

  PS. I found this site but I don't know if it is normal to download them from this site and also, I don't know if I should because I will insert Windows 7 64 bit.

• Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

  Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

  No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

  This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

  I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

  Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you.

  If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
  I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

  The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
  In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
  + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
  + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
  + Gets severely damaged.

  However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
  In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
  Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

  If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
  To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

  I hope I could help you.

  Hi smarjit1,

  Have you tried different SD cards or just this one SD card? The SD card is probably the problem, what do you think?

  In addition, I would like to try an update card reader driver. The most recent driver, you can download on the official website of Toshiba:

• Satellite L40 - cannot start Windows

  Hello

  hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

  * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

  It offers the possibility of:
  "* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

  I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

  Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

  I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

  For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

  The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
  No problem at all.

• Satellite A300 - cannot access the Internet more

  I would like to re - open this thread because I am facing a similar problem.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 and I installed Windwos 7 two months ago. Yesterday, his suddenly, my laptop could not access the internet more, but the wireless lan connection worked well.
  Until this malfunction appeared in the list of active connection, there was only one entrance, my network classified as "Home network" but now, instead, there are two entry, it is my network classified as "Home network", the other is a 'unidntified network', classified as 'Public network '.

  I am sure that the problem is in my laptop and not in the adsl router because:
  1 - other people to join my network wireless with normal internet access.
  2. the problem always occurs with other networks currently used by third parties to connect to the internet.
  3 - the problem always with cable connection

  Windows reports no error.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance.
  Andrea

  Hello Andrea,

  To me it seems that you don't have an Internet connection so you always connected to the router but if you can access Internet t. You should look in the router configuration to see if it s is connected correctly.

  Try also updating the firmware on your router and disable security features to test this situation.

  Last but not least, you should try too update the wireless adapter driver. It can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba. :)
