Satellite A50 543 - what is the correct BIOS?
Hello
My friend has a portable Satellite and the internal CD drive is broken and its Windows had a virus and was showing strange behavior I want to install XP to clean. Does not support BIOS current ver 1.2 boot from USB CD-ROM drives. In the support section, I found a worm 1.4 BIOS that says in the description "adds this Bios Update expands the functionality of your system.", not very useful.
The bios file is called bios - 20070808112012.zip for model Satellite: A50, model runs no.:PSA50E.
I know this is probably a redundant question, but just to be sure I can be sure it's the correct BIOS that I am not too familiar with Toshiba naming scheme.
see you soon

Hey damole,.
If you don't find this BIOS on Toshiba website for your model laptop is the correct version. I mean why Toshiba has release a bad BIOS doesn t work?
But I searched a bit using Google and I think that it of not possible to boot from USB also with the new version of the BIOS. This is possible on the new laptops and Satellite A50 is old enough, so I think that in this case, you need to replace the CD/DVD drive. Maybe you can get a second hand one from eBay that is cheap.
But if you install XP from a Microsoft disc, a CD/DVD drive isn't necessary. Copy the folder integer i386 to the HARD disk and start the WINNT.exe file.

Thank you
Mike
Hi Mike,.
If everything works Ok, then I'd not concerned - I has machines with their level of original bios running Windows 7.
There is not bios available for your laptop running Windows 7 - definitely not trying to Flash the bios with an installer designed to another version of Windows as it can "brick" the machine.
Kind regards

Satellite L40-A993 - what is the Toshiba BIOS password?
Yesterday, I left my laptop in mode 'sleep' after work. When I started today morning, he prayed for the password. I never set a password for BIOS and never changed no settings. Currently, its not booting.
Just after ignition, screen opens with "Enter password".
I tried to check online, but I got no idea. Can anyone suggest how to fix it?Hello Abreu
AFAIK the system settings like BIOS password cannot be addressed only and configuration of the password must be entered twice (password confirmation).
Has anyone access your machine?I'm afraid that someone put the password on your computer without your knowledge.

DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not work on the Satellite A50 - 543
Hello
My present DVD-RAM UJ-820 s on Satellite A50 543 is not working correctly, original part is very expensive. Can I order to cheaper NEC AD - 7543A or NEC AD - 7540 A, but I don't know is it compatible with my Satellite A50 543 or not.
Who can help me?
Thanks in advanceHello
From my experience not every disc is compatible with your laptop. It depends on the master / slave / parameters c - salt.
The settings on the disks online slim for laptops is not editable as on desktop drives by putting the jumper.
The thin line command does not support riders, and so the firmware controls the settings.But dnf666 already replaced the drive on sat 5200 and maybe your favorite player might be compatible

Satellite A50 543: still some problems with USB 2.0
Hello
I have laptop Satellite A50 543 with Win2k SP4 installed.
The problem is that USB 2.0 is not active.I found a usb device that luckily automatically installed, so I installed it manually.
The system is now a usb 2.0 hub - root.
If I go to properties it shows me that the usb-external hard drive is connected. So far so good...
(the external hard drive is USB 2.0!)now, I copy a file from the internal hard drive to the hard drive external... and there: surprise!
I have a transfer rate of about 2.5 MB/s
now I really Don t know what I can do!thx for your help and sorry for my bad English! ;-)
hope you understand me!TOBO
Hello
Well, as far as I know this device was shipped with a USB 2.0 and it should support a rate of 480 Mbit/s and USB 1.1 data transmission support max 12 Mbps transfer rate.
Did you mean the transfer rate of 2.5MB/s or 2.5Mbps?Good bye

Satellite A50-522: what drives are compatible
Hello
I have the following problem, could someone help me thank you
I have a toshiba satellite a50-522 and the hard drive seems to be deadWhile I was looking to replace.
So here's the question; Where can I find a list of the compatible HDD with the laptop?Thank you
Hello
To my knowledge, Toshiba provides official information on hard drives compatible.
But don t worry buddy. I think I could help a bit.
Always is that the Satellite A50 was delivered with the 40 GB drive HARD IDE (ATA-6)
Therefore, you need to use hard drives that support the IDE!
The SATA drives are not compatible!Now a few words about the size of the HARD drive. Laptops BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and not all HARD drive sizes are supported. But I think 60 or 80 GB would be compatible so just testing everything.
Best regards

I have a cell phone Z50-70 which is preinstalled with Windows 8.1. It is an OEM version, with the product key that is stored in the Bios. This is an installation of UEFI.
The vehicle currently has OneKey recovery installed, which, if I understand well (I've not used actually still), allows you to recover from a hard disk recovery partition. This is not a "fresh" Windows 8.1, but an image provided by Lenovo that take back you to the State the laptop was bought originally (will have all software Lenovo and preinstalled drivers).
According to the official upgrade guide Lenovo, before performing the upgrade of Windows 10, we should uninstall basically all software from Lenovo, including OneKey recovery and it won't work in Windows 10.
Issues related to the:
1. What is the correct process to recover the system from Windows 10 if something goes wrong? I think that Windows 10 integrates a feature "Reboot your computer" in the settings which I suppose is what we are supposed to use. It would take me to:
a. a completely new install Windows 10?
b. a created image during the upgrade from 8.1 to 10, containing all my files etc. when performing the upgrade?
c. or he would use the recovery partition from Lenovo (which would have used OneKey Recovery if it was compatible) and take me back to 8.1 for Windows?
(d) another thing?
2. once I did the upgrade and Windows 10 has successfully activated, I think I could create a bootable with ISO of Windows 10, inside boot media and install a completely new install of Windows 10 and activate it. Theoretically, I could make as many fresh installs from the boot media I want, as long as initially, I did the upgrade (not a clean install), and the hardware of the laptop does not change. Is this correct?
2A. If, therefore, during the first boot media clean installation process, I'd be sure compeletly remove the Lenovo recovery partition entirely and go from there, rely on 'Reset your PC' feature of Windows 10? Could I could use even just reinstall Windows boot again media 10 as a way to recover? If I understand correctly, it is not absurd to keep recovery partition it if it can not be used within Windows 10.
I think I had a desktop PC ordinary with a retail version of Windows, then everything above would be fine. The complications added here are that 1. I have no product key Windows 8.1 (alll is managed by the BIOS) and 2. I have no recovery disk. I want to make sure that I understand everything completely before moving, and potentially do a clean installation using bootable media, so that I don't end up ruin something and end up with either a laptop I can not recover, a Windows installation that is not enabled.
Thank you.
Update for anyone of another reading:
I just uninstall OneKey recovery on my installation of Windows 8.1 for the upgrade. While Windows is concerned, OneKey Recovery has been completely removed.
The good news is that I then shut down the laptop, you press the novo button, selected "System Recovery" and I was always greeted with OneKey recovery program where I could choose to restore from original image, or a custom image. So I guess that once I have upgraded to Windows 10, I'll always have the option to restore to the factory Windows 8.1 if I ever need/want to.
The confusion seems to be that OneKey recovery software is actually two separate software:
1 OneKey Recovery #1 is installed in the hidden recovery partition which is responsible to perform a system restore from the image of your choice - either the image of plant or a custom image created by #2 OneKey recovery software. OneKey Recovery Software #1 is still accessible via the Novo button.
2 OneKey Recovery #2 is installed on the Windows 8.1 installation, which is responsible for the creation of custom system images. You can also choose to restore the system from here, but AFAIK, it just restarts the computer and OneKey #1 software, which allows you to recover expenses. OneKey Recovery #2 is the software Lenovo told us to uninstall it before Windows 10. However, uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 let software OneKey Recovery tact #1.
As far as I know, this means that the uninstall OneKey Recovery #2 mean that we lose the ability to create custom system images, but we reserve the option to restore from a system image.
Can anyone confirm that I understood, and that what I said above is indeed the case?
I'm still a little uncertain about what Windows built tens in the willingness to ' PC ' do well - that it will use the Lenovo recovery partition or run a 10 Windows Installer Clean up.

Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.
What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk? I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:
start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.
When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'. How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch? Am I missing something? Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access? Help, please. Thank you.
I tried both options that you recommended. As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen. I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.
An update, the computer is now fixed. Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start. I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors. That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above. After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:. It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished. Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.
So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully. And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually? It would be good to know for the future. Thank you!
