Satellite A300 - question about Vista license key

Hi all,

I bought an A300-149 with preinstalled Vista.
One of my friends told me, the partition that was used to install Vista is not useful, it consumes space from my HARD drive, so I deleted the partition and rearranged the partitions that I was going to use them.

I just found out it's a big mistake to do that, because the contained all partition drivers and Vista with the license key.
I'm losing my windows license, if I eventually have to reinstall it? (I have the label on the underside of the computer with the key...)
I can not download the content of this partition (in the form of an ISO standard) somewhere in this site? (and use the key to the label, as it is usually done with the software)

I paid for this OS... so I don't understand why I have not received a DVD with the software? (When I opened the box, I was looking for the DVD and I wandered why he is missing...)
It's frustrating...

Waiting for your answers,
Thank you

Hello

It's really stupid situation now, but certainly not frustrating.
Here a few facts to better understand:

New Toshiba laptops are delivered without recovery DVD and images of recovery is recorded on the second partition. All of us must create own recovery media. To do this, this Toshiba has designed little tool called creator of Toshiba recovery disc. With this tool, you can create recovery recovery CD and DVD. When you have these media you can do with the data you want. To install Vista over these media must be used.

So many people may forget or simply ignore it. Because of this Toshiba has designed reminder with the trace message:

Because of this, Toshiba has designed little reminder that will be shown in short time after first start with track contents:

* 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 *.
* from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
* and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

* Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to *.
* ensure hat you are able to restore your computer to the factory installed state, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

I can't imagine you didn t see.
In any case, your friend probably has no idea how it works, and now you have a problem.
To be honest you have no problem, but the additional costs. You can order the following original Toshiba disk link given by Akuma, but you must pay for it.

Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite A300 - Questions about the second HARD drive Bay

    To the underside of the laptop, there is an empty Bay for a second HDD internal.
    It is in the lower left corner (the first internal hard drive is on the lower side right) and the Bay has a sata connector.
    The plastic cover of the empty Bay extended columns so nothing (not even a hard disk) can be positioned on the inside.

    Someone knows:
    -If the sata connector works
    -If I can connect a secondary internal hard drive which work together with the primary
    -Where I could order the support for the secondary hard drive (i.e. toshiba code)
    -Where I could order a plastic cover without extensive columns, bcz I want to break.

  • Satellite A300 - Question about BIOS password

    Hello

    on the machine, I had a bios password set for the start.
    After that I put this password empty start it asks me for some other password enter the bios menu.
    I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

    Advice to solve this problem?
    Tried to update the bios, did not help.
    Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

    Best regards
    Rob

    Hello

    Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
    If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

    I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

    In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.
    Please check this!

    AFAIK this chipset provides only the 2 GB support

  • A question about the license of Oracle 1 g R2 Enterprise Edition

    Hi all


    I have a question about Oracle license and I would be grateful if you could help me thanks.

    I installed an Oracle (11g R2 Enterprise edition) server on a virtual linux machine. The pc being used for this purpose
    is my cell phone company (so a professional and not a personal computer). However, I use this Oracle Server
    only for the purpose, i.e. learning only to run the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some)
    administrative tasks) just to learn things.

    There is absolutely no data related to my business, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
    data of the company, I use the Oracle server of the company that has the appropriate license of course. So, as I said, I
    Use this server of the company on the virtual machine only to run applications/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
    learning and I'm the only person who uses this server (no remote for other users).

    The reason why I needed to install this server on my PC, is that our DBA could not provide a training environment
    for me, with all the privileges and features.


    Should I buy a license for this Enterprise Server installed on my virtual machine?


    Thanks in advance,

  • Recovery CD comes with Vista license key?

    Hello world

    New to the forum so hope you will have patience with me.
    I am looking to buy a satellite pro P200-1KD once.
    I want to dual boot it with XP.

    I have the CD to install XP and VIsta, but would need a Vista the license to install on the new laptop key. (I already have one for XP)
    I know that the phone comes with a Vista recovery CD, but my question is, does it come with a license key?

    I don't know if I can use the dual-boot recovery CD as I suspect that it will use all of the drive for Vista.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    On the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can find the image of Toshiba. Toshiba image contains the OS (Vista in your case), Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
    The recovery CD is not the same as a Microsoft OS CD to the original address and the Vista on the Toshiba Recovery CD is already activated.

    By the way; The OEM key (which activates the Vista on Toshima image) cannot be used with other, different Vista OS. It will not work.

  • Satellite A300-243 - simple disk recovery & keys do not work

    Hello, I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite A300 243, and I decided to reinstall the system to Vista Ultimate 64 bit (because of the use of the 4 GB ram).

    It took me a few hours, but ultimately I found the necessary drivers and everything works fine, except one thing - multimedia keys (I think they are called easy keys). Start, Stop, next and preview track trace works great, but the first (default used for the activation/deactivation of illumination) and the second (default used for starting of W Media Player) do not work. I installed the latest version of VAP for Vista 64-bit and to Toshiba button support, I'm not able to change anything. The list, where normally I am able to choose a key to change its function, is empty. I found some similar problems on this forum, but no useful answer - lookes like the only way is to use the Toshiba Recovery option, and at this point, I get to my second problem.

    The second problem is in Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator and Toshiba HDD Recovery tool. At first, until I reinstalled Vista 64 bit version I wanted to create the recovery disk, but Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator just didn't start. Then I found the HARD drive recovery option, and I've read, that this tool is placed on a hidden partition, so I thought that I will be able to recover the old system with this tool in the case of any compication. Then I reinstalled the system and wish to return to 32 bits, because he looked like his slower and at first I was not able to find all the necessary drivers. And what a surprise - recovery tool has disappeared!

    The only thing I'm missing on the 64-bit version is now these two multimedia keys.

    And the last question - are there opportunities to get a recovery with Vista 64-bit disk?

    Hello

    As you said for easy keys or also called buttons lighting you need Toshiba value added Package. Satellite A300-243 belongs to the series of PSAG8E and that's why you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba site tools:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing the VAP, make sure that all the drivers are installed and for Vista SP1 at least. Then you can install it and normally then you can use the FN buttons for lighting, etc..
    Also, make sure that you have installed the latest BIOS for your laptop.

    Regarding your problem with the recovery disk creator and drive HARD recovery option, I can only say that these features are only available on the preinstalled version of Vista. This means that if you upgrade to Vista 64 bit you can t use HARD drive recovery option more and also the recovery disk creator.
    So if the recovery disc creator doesn't work you need to use HARD drive recovery option, but it is not stored on a hidden partition. These files are stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDrecovery. The hidden partition do you mean belongs is a feature in Vista: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment

    But just a question: have you ever created a recovery disk?

  • Satellite A300 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hi all
    I just bought a new Satellite A300 laptop, preloaded with VISTA with XP Downgrade option.

    I finished the VISTA (Setup) and the recovery of the DVD. Now, I really want to downgrade to Windows XP, using the supplied with the Toshiba laptop recovery CD, but the instructions are vague.
    I tried F12 at startup and select CD/DVD as the boot, but it seems to hang on the black screen.

    There are files on the disc (3.2 GB) I covered it on another PC. I also tried the option of recovering your system start-up (F8), but it does not determine that the drive is a recovery / disk backup. I don't want to just run right XP installation of my copy of license of Volume for obvious reasons.

    Does anyone have information / procedure on how to switch using the Toshiba provided CD?

    Any help gratefully received.
    With our thanks,
    Stu.

    Hello!

    You hear that the drive reads the disc XP if you boot from it? What is the computer hangs on empty screen or if you get an error message?

    You can boot from another drive? Maybe the downgrade does not work properly or it s a problem with CD/DVD player. Check it!

    Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

    Good bye

    My media keys no longer work correctly. I'm talking abut the top 2 buttons (Mute and Media Player - buttons).

    I just tried to reinstall PPV, but it's the same thing. I have to say that I can use the Mute button, but it will not be this silent icon appears.
    Media player button doesen't work at all.

    I just tried to search on this form for a sollution, but I couldn't find it.

  • How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu... It seems that the laptop is made ONLY for Vista and I think that it's... pathetic...
