Satellite A300 - is the recovery disk contains all the drivers?

I bought a new Satellite A300 and now I have to reinstall Windows Vista. My question is:

Through the recovery disk I already have all the necessary drivers for my computer?
What I have to download them one by one in line?

Thank you for your help

Ciao

Hello

Yes, the Toshiba Recovery disk contains all the drivers and tools for your laptop. After using the Toshiba Recovery disk, you have the same settings that you have started the laptop the first (out of the box). This means that the disc contains a picture of the factory settings.

The disc is very easy to use: you only have to boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. Windows, and all drivers will be reinstalled in a few minutes.

  • Satellite A300 - 1FC - Vista recovery without any pre-installed software

    Hello

    I bought an A300 - 1FC to German string sotres Saturn.
    It's a computer laptop nice until now the only thing that bothers me is the bunch of preinstalled software that is of no use to me.

    Is it possible to recover the plain windows only and then install all the required drivers
    and service packs manually. Or at least in a way that leaves out all the unnecessary software?

    If not I'm quite willing to downgrade - I don't like vista particularly well anyway but handset
    with the annoyment of the preinstalled software, it is certainly enough reason to get rid of him.

    Any help?

    See you soon

    Hello

    As you can see Toshiba, like all other manufacturers of portable, offers the recovery image. This recovery image contains all the necessary drivers, Toshiba has designed tools and utilities and also some additional software.

    You must understand that maybe 10% of people have knowledge of PC and they are able to configure the laptop only. I am glad that you are one of them, but you must know that this recovery image is designed for the installation of operating system simple and not complicated. There is no possibility to install clean Vista using this recovery media.

    Another way person doesn't force you to use each of them. All the unnecessary stuff, you can remove the system. Believe me I do the same thing. Your needs, you can optimize the operating system.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery disk contains only Windows 7 32-bit

    Hello, I have a question.

    I bought a Satellite L505 - 10 k a month ago. It came with Windows 7 x 64, 3 partitions (I don't know why, 3? seriously?). I tried to install Linux, delete the last partition, called 'Data' and I screw them completely. I used the recovery DVDs to bring the phone to default settings and I discovered the system recover is Windows 7 x 32.

    No idea why the systems are different?

    It's just a minor issue, I guess, the only bad thing is that the x 32 system recognizes not the 4 GB of RAM. I use now only 3 GB of RAM.

    Hi Cabo_Nobbdy,

    I think you should check your user manual and the specificaitions of your laptop first before starting a question. I founded the following information:
    + Operating system: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD) +.

    This means that the recovery for Windows 7 64-bit disk, you need to create by * you *!
    The DVD that came with your laptop recovery contains only 32-bit Windows 7, and normally, you can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. I put t understand why you didn't do it because after the first start, you get this message:
    + 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.

    But now it s too late for that and you have to order a new Toshiba recovery disc yourself:

  • Satellite L505-141 - recovery disk contains Windows 7 32 bit

    Hello

    I bought my computer in the year around March last. I had with laptop computer operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Lately I think the format of my laptop using the recovery CD that I have receviced with the laptop. I don't know why, but the recovery CD Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit! Why its not 64-bit and 32-bit?

    The laptop comes with 6 GB of Ram and Core i5 and I won't enjoy my laptop with 32-bit operating system. Is this normal? I was suppose to get the 32-bit operating system (really wired if you a laptop with 6 GB of memory). This really makes me feel angry. I feel that I have been cheated.

    If ts the company I bought the laptop in and not the fault of Toshiba, I ask and investigation or something like that since they really make a bad name for you guys.

    Please answer me as soon as possible.

    TNX,

    Hello

    Before you wrote things that are not correct, please first check the specs on the Web from Toshiba site and take a look at your * user manual *!

    The laptop comes with a recovery disk which is Windows 7 32 bit, so everything is ok with this disc and you got the right pair.

    The interesting point is that the recovery disc for Windows 7 64-bit, you must create yourself such as mentioned in * user manual *! You can create this disk preinstalled use Toshiba recovery media creator. You need blank DVDs to create discs and that s all. After that do what you can to restore the preinstalled Windows 7 64 bit every time when you want to.

    Now it s too late to do that, but you can order a recovery disc here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    I can understand you he would do better to use Windows 64 bit on a laptop with 6 GB of RAM but don t forget some old don t on 64-bit applications and 32 bit necessary. In addition I m wondering you n t saw a message that reminds you to create the recovery disk. This message that you get after you first start your computer:

  • Can I reinstall Win7 recovery disks without all the other stuff that goes with it?

    It's time to clean this HPE-510 PC.  It's a slow and clumsy mess.  I have a set of five CDs in a stimulus package that I bought from HP.  (Why so much?)  If someone has purchased a copy of Windows 7 in a store they would get more than one disc?

    What I really want to know.

    After I reformat or wipe the HD can I install just Windows 7 and maybe Office Starter and nothing else?  I don't want unnecessary stuff that came with the PC.  Is there something in addition to Windows and Office, I really need?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Five 5 DVD CD? Why so much of? Well, they all contain the installation program (including drivers) for you to grab the device to the factory settings.

    If someoe bought a Windows 7 DVD in the store, they will receive ONLY 1 disc and it is the Windows 7 installation disc that contains packed (or compressed in one direction) files for Windows 7 only, no real drivers.

    After installing Windows 7, you need all the drivers for your machine then Office Starter (if you could find it now). You also need something to protect your computer as a software virus or Windows Security Essentials.

    Kind regards.

  • Satellite A300 - Win Vista instalation disk missing

    Hello world.

    This is my first time on any forum ever :)

    In August 2008, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 149. There was a lot of turbulence in our relationship, but we always went by them so far.

    Some time ago I added an additional hard drive just for the system. I did it just to have all important data in the entity. This extra drive decided to die.

    The problem is that there is no more the oryginal disc recovery so I have a laptop, hard drive and the product key for windows, but no instalation windows disk or at least file.

    Can you please help me and tell what should I do now because I can't undo what I've done already :)

    Hello

    Your A300 was delivered with the operating system from Vista preinstalled (recovery image). This recovery image is saved on the HARD disk. Operating manuals s described document that each owner of the laptop must create the installation of recovery disk using pre-installed recovery media creator tool.

    If I understand you right you didn't he create if it is your only error.
    What can you do now?
    You have two options:
    1 / you can order the original recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    2 / you can install own OS version

    I have too many A300 and for three years I use it with Windows 7 32 bit. It works perfectly and much better than original Vista.

    In any case, you do need to make the decision. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300 - displays error recovery disc creator

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCE) and I created the recovery by using the "TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator' disc but I did this a few months ago, but now the disc is scratched, and when I am formatting my computer it gives me an error when loading files. So I decided to create another disc, using the "TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator', but she also give me an error with one of the files during the creation of the disc. What should I do now?

    I have a friend who has a Satellite A200, can I use the disk? I did a printscrean showing the error. Sorry the bad English, I'm Portuguese...

    Hello

    It is good that you posted a screenshot of the error, but perhaps you can translate it into English, it would be more useful.

    In any case, the disks that you use to create the recovery disk? I m using Verbatim DVD-R media. It worked perfectly for me and I can recommend this path.

    In addition, you can see the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

    Finally and above all, I doubt that for Satellite A200 recovery disk will work for you also. The models are different

  • Satellite A300 - and Vista recovery Question

    I bought a Satellite A300 a few days previously, it automatically installed Vista without CD when I opened it.
    Is it joint to come with a vista CD/DVD or I need to burn a Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Pkozerski is right. Toshiba offers no support for recovery with new laptop models and this media must be created using the preinstalled recovery Toshiba creator tool.

    To do this I advise you to use high quality in DVD-R format media. My favorite is TDK or Verbatim.
    If you change anything in the future on your laptop, you'll be able to find your laptop using recovery image stored on the second partition.

    If you need instructions specific to how make it please let me know.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - resize hard disk partitions

    Hello, a little long but need the expert advice from you guys.

    Recently, I bought the laptop above with a 250 GB hard drive. It comes preinstalled with 3 partitions as follows:

    1.5 GB: hidden partition Toshiba System Recovery
    116 F: (C :)) System Partition of Windows Vista)
    GB 116: (E) Toshiba System Recovery Image file

    My understanding of pass briefly on these forums, the hidden partition houses the mini operating system that controls the real Windows recovery and Image file contains data extracted and installed on the C:? If I'm wrong please let me know!

    Anywyay, the problem I have is that I prefer to have all available space mapped in the C:, rather than on the E:. I tried to use the disk management utility to shrink and then expand the partitions, but it wont let me c (I guess it is the system partition, maybe?). I also tried to use the Diskpart.exe program, but to no avail.

    The plan I have is to create the recovery disks two DVDs of the utility from the desktop icon.

    Copy all the data recovery of E: (approximately 5 GB worth) off the coast of the laptop temporarily.

    Manually by using a 3rd party utility drive partition, delete C: and E: and then set the partitions c: = 224GB and E: = 6 GB.

    Via the recovery DVD, restoration of Windows Vista in the C:.

    Copy all the data recovery back on E: to nowdays fill it and keep it for any future recoveries from disk rather than the DVD.

    What I need to know is, is it as simple as that, or I'll run into trouble? HARD drive recovery utility still work the resized partition?

    If there are better ways to do or things to watch then please tell me how to on this subject. I would like to know if you guys did the same thing or have left as it came with 2 large partitions.

    Thanks for any answers in advance.

    Hello

    I think you can have 3 primary partitions.
    In your case if you want to create other partitions then you can choose the extended partition!

    Just for everyone here:
    Before you modify the partitions (C-system partition or E-recovery partition), you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
    So if something goes wrong with you, HARD drive, system, either, you should be able to restore the operating system from the Recovery DVD!

    So before you change the partitions-> burn the recovery DVDs!

    How to understand this? If you put in another computer and check the contents in Windows Explorer, maybe it's readable, but this disc is for use of facilities.

    You created those discs?
    Do you use them for the first time?

    Normally, when you start installation of recovery first disc is copied and when the copy is complete, you will see message to the second recovery disk in the optical disc drive. Put the second and confirm by clicking OK.
