Satellite A300D - what I'm going to lose additional software using the XP Recovery CD

I'm a novice on this forum, so please excuse if the questions are naïve.

I just A300D with Vista Business installed and also have XP Pro recovery media disk.

I think of "downgrading" to XP Pro and are concerned about the software that comes with the Vista installation. For example, all is included:

Drivers and utilities Toshiba
ConfigFree
Connectivity doctor
Toshiba Bluetooth Stack
Toshiba Bluetooth Monitor
Toshiba Disc Creator
The Toshiba user manual
Toshiba Value Added Package
Supervisor password utility
Toshiba Assist
Toshiba Speech System
Chicony Camera Assistant Software
Toshiba DVD player
Free 60 day trial of Microsoft Office Professional 2007
Professional Windows XP recovery media
Ulead DVD MovieFactory for TOSHIBA
Toshiba face recognition
Google software (Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, Google Desktop, Picasa, Google Earth)
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 - Toshiba Edition (including updates of free Internet for 30 days)
Business Card Reader

If I change the XP Pro I lose all this software? If so, how do I get it back (for example for the camera, DVD. Bluetooth, speeches etc.). There is no separate these supplied software disc!

Thank you

The last suggestion posted by Invader is very important info!

You must first create the Vista recovery DVDs using Toshiba tool called creator Toshiba Recovery prior to a new installation of XP.

Some tools called components software (McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008, Google software, free 60 day trial of Microsoft Office Professional 2007, Ulead DVD MovieFactory) are only available in the image of Toshiba and not on the Toshiba page driver and, therefore, you must create the first recovery DVDs.

Best regards

    > Many people say that it is possible using the HDD Recovery folder that I have on my D drive and it s 13.5 GB

    A lot of people said you can use HARD drive recovery in order to put the system back to factory settings.
    This true s but this is possible ONLY if the system has not been modified.

    In case you have changed the system, you could go back to the factory settings using the recovery disk!
    Recovery disk may be created using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

  • Satellite A210 - 4 1: Winload.exe problem after having used the product recovery disc

    Hello

    I could really do with some help here. I have a PC laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4. Disk partitioned with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.

    Last night, I used the product recovery disc supllied with the laptop in an attempt to restore its initial configuration.

    and the end of the procedure, I find myself with a prompt cmd with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the high bit blue box indicating:

    Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 of ODD to C:\!

    Press a key to continue. Box disappears then an administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the top blue bit indicating:

    waiting for ODD vacancies...
    STRANGE drive f: loan.
    Look for support in the F: drive...
    Failed to initialize the raid class.
    No RAID - continue normally...

    X:\Windows\System32 >

    Now every time the laptop trying to restart it just comes up with the error message:

    CANNOT START WINDOWS. A RECENT HARDWARE CHANGE OR SOFTWARE MAY BE THE

    FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD. EXE

    Below I have then have the possibility of esc or continue with the same result of the system attempts to restart.

    The recovery disc has no option of repair on this subject.

    need help please, I have no idea.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Looks like something was wrong during the recovery procedure.
    Have you tried to recover the laptop once more?
    If this isn't the case, you should definitely try this!

    You are right; hasn t drive recovery option for the repair because the recovery disk is not the same as a MS Vista drive. The recovery disk contains image files (it s a package) and the files contains Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

    So if something was happening well wrung out during the recovery procedure, you will not be able to repair the installation of the OS, but you need to run it again.

    Perhaps, your recovery disk is corrupt. What happens if you try with Windows disk copy?

  • Re: Satellite A300D-11 t - how to install Windows and software provided?

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D-11 t (model: PSAK0E-00700DGE.) Due to the mistake of hard drive, hard drive has been formatted and I lost my OS. When I bought it two years ago, the laptop came with Windows Visa and other software. But I don't have any software CD this time except the mannual.

    Please help me how can I have my Visa settings or factory of origin.
    Thank you
    Ben

    Hi Ben,

    The problem is that you must create this disk with Windows and all the drivers/tools yourself if it of not given with the computer. This can be done with the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator who creates the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains a picture to factory settings (Windows with all the drivers and tools) and can be used to restore the factory settings every time.
    So you need this disc to install Vista with the supplied software.

    In any case, now it s too late and you need to order such a drive of Toshiba directly but it s not for free:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Of course, you can install Windows on a normal disc of Microsoft, but then you must install all the drivers and tools yourself so recovery disk is the easiest way and pre-tested by Toshiba. ;)

  • Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

    My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

    Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

    Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

    All advice welcome please.

    Hi mate,

    I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

    In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

    What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

    Hello

    _How to use the recovery disk? _
    That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
    In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

    _How to save files? _
    First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

    In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

    You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

  • Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
    The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
    Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

    I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
    Any comments?

    Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
    I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

    So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

    If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

    Best regards

  • Can I use the Qosmio recovery discs to recover the Satellite P750?

    I have a Satellite P750 with an irreparably damaged HARD disk and none of the recovery disks. I have a Qosmio X 770, I can make the recovery disks from.

    Both machines were equipped with Windows 7 and the two license codes. Can I use recovery since the Qosmio discs to load on a new HARD drive into the P750?

    I realize that the drivers may be different, but if I can get the P750 operation, I can then correct the drivers.

    I don't want to pay $66 for Toshiba disks, as much as other manufacturers such as Dell don't charge $20.

    No, you can t.
    The recovery image is a package.
    It contains the Windows system, but also the drivers and tools.
    This means that you must install drivers Qosmio on Satellite P and this would make for difficulties.

  • Satellite X 200-unexpected shut downs as soon as I use the SLI

    I've always bought Toshiba as well for me and the company,
    I bought a Satellite X 200 and as soon as I use the SLi makes the unexpected closure of the bottom computer...

    And the most important thing is that I paid a lot of money for it.
    My old laptop performance :(
    Feels like products are sometimes not tested until they sell.

    Anyone over with the same point of view on the Satellite X 200?

    My friend has a X 200 and has no problem with SLI.

    Have you tried other games? This game has maybe a compatibility issue with SLI.

    You use the graphics drivers supplied by Toshiba? If you use drivers from a non-Toshiba source, it can cause problems of this kind.

    Also update the BIOS and maybe try a new image (run recovery) if all else fails.

    If it fails on a new image, then a video card may be defective.

  • Windows Vista does not start after you use the Hp Recovery Manager. What should I do?

    I used Recovery Manager to reinstall Windows Vista Basic 32-bit. During installation, it shows 0% completion although at the end it says everything is ok. After clicking on the button finish, he starts up the Recovery Manager again asking if I want to recover Windows. If I choose the Cancel button it restarts with the same Recovery Manager screen. What can I do?

    You can call HP technical support at 1-800-474-6836. Or you can give your product number, not the serial number, and I'll try to send you the link to order yourself.
