• Satellite A505-S6973 and the OS upgrade

  Users of computers laptop toshiba colleagues,.

  I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has touchpad buttons and quickplay and wondering if I should upgrade my pc to Windows 7 I was able to use all these features (more eco and pc health monitor utility).

  I ask this because currently my pc has, which is supposed to be a hard disk of 500 GB, 317 GB of available hard disk space, but I barely information or documents stored on my system. I understand I have programs installed, but still for this amount.

  So, long story short, if I had to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and I installed the toshibha value added utility programs package and eco, that would be all I need to dload and install because I love this pc.

  Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can smell it the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slowly and always higher, the temperature on my system is currently 90% and 64% CPU TEMPERATURE FAN SPEED and I HAV my system set up to use low power.

  I enjoyed all the comments, suggestions and advice...

  I don't have a US mobile phone model and can't answer your second question, but I know with certainty that Win7 works well on the Satellite A500.
  Two months ago, I had the Satellite A500 friends home. Initially, it was pre-installed with Vista.
  I did two experiments to see how it works with Win7. First I updated it with the Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
  With the new installation of the OS, everything was OK also.

  Before Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to make sure what version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64 bit is completely compatible.

• Satellite A660 - recovery and partitioning of the C drive

  I have an A660 running Win 7 (64-bit) and he always has to turn more slowly than I expected.

  I have a 450 GB C drive and would like to reformat the drive and partition to C and D.
  I want to make a full recovery and re-partition.

  The question is what someone did this and if so what are the steps?
  That is to say, first, then recover the partition or I partition and then recover?

  Thank you
  Ramin

  In my opinion, you create restore DVD first. Then install the recovery image using these discs and when the OS is finished set partitions on your laptop.

  After doing this, it can happen that you will not be able to use the disk HARD recovery option more but the DVD of recovery only if as a first step in the history please create these recovery disks.

• Recovery disk satellite M205 S4804 and drivers disk?

  Hello

  I live in the Brazil and won a satellite M205 S4804. But I got it without any CD or DVD. No driver software, no recovery CD or DVD.

  I have the two Portuguese version of Windows: Vista and XP. And having to install them on my M205, but I do not find all the drivers.

  I tried to download the drivers in the @skIris and a few components not installed correctly, as a wireless card (I don't know what model is the device).

  I think that if I brought back the original status of my English Windows Vista (Home) and upgrade for my Portuguese version (Ultimate), I won't have to reinstall the drivers...

  There is a site to download the drivers and the CD/DVD recovery for my laptop?

  Thank you

  This laptop seems to be designed for the American market and therefore you should look on the Toshiba site we for some drivers

  The M205 seems to be a new series on the market, and perhaps not all drivers have been released at this time. THEN maybe, you will have to wait a bit

  Sorry, but that's all I can suggest

• Satellite A505 - recovery loop without end

  This laptop has a virus and I used the disk recovery one and booted from it and the recovery used only 3 of the 5 DVDs, then Booted and said perpareing for the first login then Toshiba drivers update and restarted in an endless loop... from windows for the first time and toshiba screen saying reboot preparation now etc.

  What now? This laptop is not a year old.
  It's win7 or Toshiba recovery disks?

  Recovery image installation can take up to 2 hours and will probably restart several times so just let dong it work.
  It is the same on the new Satellite A660. Last week, I installed recovery image. After 2 hours, it was over and I was able to use Win7.

• Satellite M40-129 and drivers Win7

  Hello

  I just installed Win7 on my Toshiba Satellite M40-129. It was really hard... Windows refuses to complete the installation until I deleted pcmcia.sys in the windows system folder.

  Now I have the problem that my pcmcia cardbus is working nor my SD card reader. As soon as I ask for Win7 to update driver PCMCIA, the doesn´t of the computer unbootable until I have again to remove pcmcia.sys.

  Now my question: I can live with having one for not working the PCMCIA port, but there all the drivers available for windows 7 and the Cardbus SD?

  Thank you very much.

  This old Satellite is not supported for Win7 and you won't find any driver for it. It is not easy to configure the hardware on these old books but Win7 has good drivers base and, after several Microsoft updates most of the equipment must be installed correctly.

  What you can try is to try to install the driver designed for another model of laptop. Perhaps satellite A100 or Satellite A200. I put t know if this will help but you can test it in any case.

  It was quite a vague answer, I asked it would work for me since I formatted the original windows... will be the recovery discs bring me the same (windows 7 Edition home premium) to my laptop or it will just recover the drivers and stuff from hp... maybe u think that answers r obvious, but sory that they are not for me , may be because I m not a PhD student

  I'm sorry about that. The recovery disks will restore settings (retrieve) the laptop at its plant. The computer will be in the same condition you lit for the first time, including all partitions and the operating system on it. Discs will work on all mobile phones purchased from DV6-6160se, which one you bought...

• Satellite A60 - recovery and install xp problem

  I have a laptop A60 which is slightly more than 1 year.

  A couple of days, about 2 minutes after the start, the screen flashed with a new window (I was unable to see the content, it's appeared and disappeared so fast), then the laptop turned off.

  I rebooted, could not boot into winxp I received the error message (please report this problem as a load dll required) missing file. The missing files were all of the system folder.

  I then tried the recovery dvd. Everything looked fine, however, he kept failing at windows startup.

  Whenever I start the machine now, I get the toshiba logo, which now has lines of Red pixels in the columns towards the bottom of the screen. The same effect occurs when I try to recover using the recovery dvd.

  After trying this for some time, I tried to install my own copy of XP home. The laptop starts, attempts to load the files needed for the installation of winxp, gets to the core of the dll and stops with an error 4 impossible to continue.

  The recovery cd and winxp cd are in good working condition - validated it on other machines.

  Once, the winxp set up did go to the options page so I chose the repair console. I was able to run fixmbr and fixboot. It worked, then I could use the recovery dvd and successfully recovered it. About 2 minutes later, once he had everything installed, I got a blue screen of death and had to re-boot - to see that I was back to the initial situation.

  I then used fdisk to set up new partitions. ]

  Now, if I try the recovery cd, the laptop starts to load the ghost file and then the screen turns white after a while - the same thing with trying to install a new copy of xp.
  I still get the red on the screen pixels when I try the recovery cd and when I start the machine and get the toshiba logo. However, when I try to install xp from my drive, the red lines, points, appear not at all.

  My feeling is that I had a master seed virus and need a new hard drive.

  Can someone please advise me on this... What do you think that is the problem? If you think it's a virus master seed aswell, can you please tell me what you know how I can fix this or I have to buy a new hard drive. What a RAM problem or a problem with the hard drive controller?

  For now, I am going through several thoughts, but keep coming back to the boot virus master = new hard drive!

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Paul,.

  In this case, my inclination is to suspect the RAM modules. This is based on the assumption that the screen initial 'splash' is not on the hard disk but is stored in the CMOS chip. The fact that your get the Red pixels when it appears would indicate a problem until the hard drive is still accessible.

  If you have restored your system using the recovery CD then the Master Boot Record will also have been restored (and is not infected).

  Of course, it is perfectly possible that your hard drive may also have problems that would explain the symptoms that you experience when you try to restore you system, but want to try simply to clean the dust from your CPU radiator (with a vacuum cleaner hose) before you try to restore again.

  The restore process causes a lot of heat to be generated, and you may well find that it is having a negative effect on your laptop.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I'm new user with toshiba so I made mistake. Yesterday I reinstall my windows vista, but before that I forgot to make a backup, so now I own windows but there is not drivers for some think. for example, what program I need to use the multimedia keys on my keyboard?

  Can someone show me that drivers should I install now to work properly on my computer?

  Hello

  To avoid errors, Toshiba has created a little reminder that will appear on the screen very often and I don't really understand why you didn t read this and take it seriously.
  Anyway, if you have installed has Vista visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads. You will find everything you need. Just choose your model of laptop.

  Before starting installation, check to see if it has listed document Instructions of facilities. If so, please check and install all the stuff following this order of installations.

• Satellite L500-126 and drivers on 64-bit Windows 7

  I'm going to update my system to windows 7 64-bit, however drivers 64-bit windows 7 aren't currently available for L500-126.
  I noticed the drivers 32-bit of windows 7 are available since last week, I wonder when the win7 64 bit drivers would be ready?

  THX!

  All laptops listed on Win7 download page will build for 32 and 64 bit, and I think it's just a matter of time where the drivers will be ready for download. Maybe you should wait a few days with the Win7 installation.
  Anyway, as Feodor written you can try to use some Vista drivers.

• Satellite A505 - ECO and button mute don't work

  Good evening everyone,

  Forgive me, but I'm new to this forum.
  The ECO utility and mute didn't seem to work on my laptop. When I press the button mute I hear a beep but i still get sound and when I press the eco button nothing happens.

  However, the volume keys Up and Down works play/pause and skip buttons work fine when I'm listening music.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I love this laptop. Was my first, so you can understand why I'm having these issues and cannot remedy. But I think it is happening, finally, I did an update, do not know if this is what caused it.

  Again any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated...

  Hello

  Seems a (possibly windows) updates confusing the registry and this could be the reason for this
  Usually the VAP (value added package) control buttons.

  This is why I would recommend that a proposal of solution; Reinstall the VAP.
  Visit the page of the Toshiba driver and download the good PPV for your notebook from the series.
  Remove the old, reboot the device and reinstall the VAP.

• Satellite A505-S6005: creating recovery discs power calibration error

  Hello

  just bought a satellite A505-S6005 and try to create recovery discs.
  I am using Dynex DVD - R.

  He created the 1st disk after the slightest mistake 2 times and when I started the 2nd drive continued to get again the message that is OE01BS-26 error Code - 2 said A 037303 power calibration area error occurred, check the disk for dirt or scratches.

  The disks are not scratched, and after going through 5-6 discs wonder if something is wrong with the optical drive & not the disks.

  Any help appreciated.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think it's a problem with your DVD media
  You are using incompatible disks!

  Try different DVD from different manufacturers.
  I m using the Verbatim or TDK DVD-R and my CD/DVD drive handles these discs without problem.

  Check it! I'm sure this will help you!

• Satellite A505-S69803 - buy a Windows 7 recovery disk?

  Hello

  I think about the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite A505-S69803 and I was wondering if it is possible to buy the Toshiba Recovery discs and if so how?

  Hello

  Why are you asking this?
  If you buy a laptop you can create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Therefore, you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. It creates a disk with a picture to factory settings (version of the OS preinstalled).

  If your laptop comes with Windows 7, you can create such a floppy.

• Satellite A505-s6970: Toshiba Service Station does not work on Windows 7

  Hey guys I need your help,

  I installed windows 7 ultimate on my toshiba Satellite A505 s6970 and I downloaded all the drivers from http://www.csd.toshiba.com/ and I installed all.

  When I open the Device Manager, 3 devices are not installed (Base-2 system device / / 1-Unknown device).
  Then I installed toshiba service station (Windows Vista / 7 32-64 bit because my windows is 64) it will search for and automatically download all necessary devices, but it does not work on windows 7, it worked perfectly in windows vista.

  Also the eco utility does not work, and the media touch buttons work just fine, but without giving that voice tone.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  To be honest I have no experience with this tool.
  I m using Tempro.

  However, I guess that Toshiba service station was not tested and not designed for Win 7 at the moment.
  You may need to wait for the next update that works correctly with Windows 7.

  You must understand that the Windows 7 drivers have been released in Beta version, it would mean that the final version would be released in the near future
  In my opinion, you should take a look from time to time on the Toshiba page we.
  I noticed that each new day pilot is released and released.
