Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

Thank you for your time.

Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
How did you check that?
From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

Good bye

  • 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?

    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

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Satellite A45-S150 - black screen after the recovery process

    After problems with a virus, I ran the recovery disk and reformat the hard drive and reloaded the OS. When the process pushes me to remove the disc, it begins to restart, but only shows a black screen. I restart the process of recovery only with the same results.

    The laptop came loaded with XP, but that the recovery Application is running, it says it is loading Windows 98. Could the original recovery disc was loaded with the wrong operating system?

    What's next?

    Hey,.

    > I restart the process of recovery only with the same results.
    You can install Windows using a normal Microsoft Windows disk?
    So, you can check if the problem is related to the computer laptop or recovery disk itself.

    > it says that it is loading Windows 98
    Don t worry not about this message. As far as I know it has something to do with the software that allows you to copy the recovery image on your HARD drive. Recovery disk still contains Windows XP ;)

    Pls advice also how to check Windows XP is 32 or 64 bit?

    Thanks again

    Alvares

    If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
    You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

    For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
    If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).

  • Pravilion dv7 series replaced after the recovery disk hard drive failure

    I tried to use the portion of my drive recovery hard when my laptop Pavilion dv7-4173 US could not operate.  After trying the hard drive recovery part several times I got an error message saying that the bootmgr is missing. I tried using the recovery discs I got to the store, I bought the computer before taking it home, and they failed.

After several days, I learned the recovery disc where no good/damaged. When I contacted the store bought told me that I had to bring in the laptop and recovery disks. They replaced the hard drive, saying: that was the problem, but do not partition. They decided to classified until the system OS of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit., but did not try the recovery disks. Can I use the recovery disk, they made me, if are good restore the laptop back to factory new?  I know he will place the operating system Windows 7 Home back on the computer, but I want that all return provided with computer programs. I'll be able to upgrade the Professional operating system? I have the disc of Windows 7 Professional.  If my restore disk will not work, can I use the recovery disc, only 2 discs instead of 6, I can buy from HP and then move on to professional?

    Thank you.  Computer to factory fresh.  Just update software and then go to Windows 7 Professional

    E:\ is the name of the DVD player. I use Verbatim DVD - R blank, I have the laptop on the power during the burning process and I tried twice with two different disks and got the same result. How can I solve this problem?

    Hello Voger

    I have created many recovery on several Toshiba laptops DVDs and never noticed anything like that. I used that brands and DVD-R discs were Verbatim or TDK.

    Unfortunately I can't answer it what does this message mean, but you should try to repeat the creation of DVD. If possible try with TDK.
    If the same thing happens again I recommend you recovery your laptop using recovery of HARD drive option and try to create discs of recovery again.

    Sorry, but I don't see any other possibility at the moment.

  • Satellite A300 does not start after the installation of the anti-virus

    Hello

    I brought a Satellite A300 today and loaded it up and it was fine.
    I uninstalled the google toolbar, office and land it came preinstalled with also the mcafree anti virus.
    So I could install my own anti virus.

    After that the system asked me to restart my pc I did.
    Since then, the system cross the 'Please wait' screen
    But it won't let me boot into safe mode. I tried a system restore.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    To me, it seems that you 3rd party antivirus software caused this strange and confusing problem the Vista OS installed.

    In my eyes a simply, new installation of operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk would solve this problem.

    If you are able to start the operating system in safe mode and then try to remove your installed Antivirus software, then clean the registry and operating system using the free tool called CCLeaner and try to start the laptop again.

    Maybe it helps you too

  • Satellite A300 - Vista does not load, the computer does not start

    Satellite A300
    Model number: PSAGCA-02W010

    Vista won't load; have you tried to start repair; System Restore and boot in safe mode, none of them work. I get the error "error 0 x 80070570: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    I don't know what I did with my recovery CD; or if I even got one with my purchase (from Harvey Norman).

    Please tell us what can be done.

    Hello

    What you can try is to install Vista using disk HARD recovery option.
    How it works, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    If it works all the data saved on the C partition will be deleted but the data saved on the D partition will always be there.

  • Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

    Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

    I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

    I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

    What could happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

  • Satellite A500/A505 - some problems after the recovery process

    I recently used the my Satellite A500, A505 recovery partition to get rid of a particularly persistent virus after running several antivirus programs, all to nothing does not.

    Now the virus seems to have disappeared, but the computer doesn't seem to be in the State it was in immediately after its opening.

    Firstly, the resolution is such that the taskbar, menu start and the desktop icons are all much larger than normal.

    Secondly, it seems to be missing some graphics files enables it to play my games that I put on it from my backup (in other words, it is showing the bottom of the game screen and play music and SFX without showing the character sprites or the menu options).

    Thirdly, my Fn + F6/F7 does not allow me to adjust the brightness of the screen of the computer, the only way that I know how to adjust the brightness of a Toshiba laptop.

    EC who if anything, could I hurt in all this?
    What might be able to do to solve these problems?
    I don't have no internet right now, but I have a USB and eternal patience, so I can use another computer and transfer everything what you suggest on mine.

    Nevertheless, I prefer solutions that do not like it, if possible.

    Surely appreciated!

    To be honest I never heard of this issue.
    In my opinion you should try to make the installation of recovery one more time to check if the same problem occurs again.

    You have created recovery disks?
    If Yes use recovery disks for recovery image installation.
