• Satellite A300 - how to recover the operating system without a recovery disk?

  First of all, sorry for my very bad English.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300, PC 9 months ago. I had problems with a virus and result is that despite clean-up and disinfection, the computer is still infected and I refused access to the hard drives and regedit.

  I thought restoring the operating system factory preinstaled (hopefully, this is the solution and not the formatting) and Barrie told me to check out http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  I did it, but the PC it's imposible because there is no files. I don't have a rescue CD (if newbee).

  What can I do?

  Hello

  Usually the A300 (European series) has been equipped with HARD drive recovery option which would be you allows to recover the laptop using the files on the HARD drive. But if this is not possible while something went wrong with the maybe HDD it s due to the infection by the virus

  In any case if you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive you need the recovery disc.
  You can order it as suggested by resident on the other hand, you can use the MS Windows Vista disk and can download driver Toshiba page.

• Re: Satellite A300 - how to restore the original condition?

  Hello

  My computer freezes for a second or 2 from time to time and Toshiba support told me it might be a software problem. I don't think, because he began the day I bought the laptop and the display driver keeps on the work stoppage, but because I said that if it's a software problem.
  I would have to pay for it, I want to try everything before sending it for repair. This is why I would like to restore my Satellite in its original state as he was just at the moment where I bought it.

  So basically I have 2 questions:

  1 - does anyone have any idea why it keeps freezing on me? And what I should try to do to fix it?
  2. can someone tell me how to restore the laptop to its original state?

  Thank you very much Dina

  Hello

  To determine if it of a software problem or not, you need to restore the factory setting and if it doesn't work you can go to an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop for you.

  The factory settings can be restored with the Toshiba recovery disc. I guess that your laptop has been delivered with Windows Vista, if you have options to restore factory settings: the Toshiba disk recovery or HARD drive recovery service.

  HARD drive recovery function formats the first partition of your laptop and install Vista again with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It is an image that is stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDRecovery.
  If you go into the advanced with F8 boot menu after you start the computer, you can start this feature of Toshiba. And then select Repair my computer and some Windows files will be loaded. Then, you can choose the function to drive HARD Toshiba Recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

  The Toshiba Recovery disk, you must create first, or have you done this yet? Normally, you get a reminder of recovery message after the first start of the laptop that you must burn this disc. Therefore, you must the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and the image in the folder in HARD drive recovery will be burned on the disc. Then you have a startup disk that can restore the factory settings and HARD whole disc formats then back up your data first!
  The recovery disk is necessary if you have a new HDD or Windows start doesn t. Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery.

  I hope I could help a bit and now you understand how to restore the factory settings.
  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  In my opinion the easiest is to disable the webcam in Device Manager, then right-click on your internal webcam and select Disable. The internal webcam is now disabled and usually only external one should be recognized.
