• Satellite A60-742 how a recovery facility

  Hello
  I am about to sell my old laptop with Windows XP installed and ensured that all personal files and passwords are removed before as I do.

  I think that the best solution is to reinstall XP completely, but I don't remember if she got with a recovery cd or if she has a hidden partition.
  So I wonder what I'm doing to make a full recovery from the XP that came with the laptop without CD?

  Thank you

  Satellite A60 came with a recovery CD, and this image is not stored anywhere on the laptop or the hidden partition.
  So the only way to reinstall Windows with all the drivers and tools for Toshiba is to use the recovery CD.
  You can order such a CD on Toshiba:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  You can also do is to install Windows XP with a Microsoft installation disc, but then you must download and install all the drivers. It takes much more time.

  Only portable computers that are shipped with Windows Vista can be recovered with the HARD drive because there are also stored image above.

• Satellite A60 and energy saving issues

  Hello

  I am facing a problem that drives me crazy. After I formatted my laptop and install Windows XP, I'm never able to install Toshiba Power Saver or any kind of Toshiba Utilities. Setup turns on, but after that, it displays an error message (sometimes just sound no message) and it stops.

  To be more precise:

  I use a Satellite A60-302, with extra addition of 256 MB of RAM. I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows XP Professional (I tried 3 different versions: right XP, XP with integrated SP1, XP with SP2 integrated; just to be sure if the problem was caused by service packs). Then I inserted the CD provided, put in place the ATI card, etc. its pilots respecting order but when it comes to saving energy, the nightmare starts.

  I removed the RAM I added and tried the whole installation by the original Setup process, but no change... My hard drives are well checked for any kind of virus, and the installation process was done with the ethernet cable connected to offshore to prevent any possible intrusion.

  Funny, I remember setting up Win XP Pro on this machine before 3 months no problem at all. The only significant change since that day is the update of the BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80.

  Looks like a "common modules" error but it is not "common modules", on the CD or on the internet.

  Finally, I must say that I can't use my recovery CD because it's Windows XP Home Edition in Turkish, but I use Windows XP Professional English provided by my employer.

  Any help? I'll be delightened if someone could help me.

  Hi sunfury,.

  I imagine you're nettled. But there must be a solution to your problem.

  You are right. There is no common Modules for this machine. Usually the common Modules, all Toshiba tools depend on. It is the main module.

  In your case, it is very important to use a specific order of installation. Normally, you must use the order of Installation set by Toshiba. You can find it on
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/SA60/win-XP/install_xp_na_en.zip.

  But there is also another solution. I usually install on this path:
  -OS
  -chipset + display driver
  -audio driver
  -fix for... (all)
  -one other drivers (modem, LAN etc..)

  When you want to install the tools of Toshiba try in this order:
  -Power Sawer
  -Init GST
  -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
  -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for display
  -Other utilities
  -TOSHIBA Console

  If you want to install SP2, maybe it will be better to do it later. It is also possible that some of the tools after installation of SP2 will not function properly.

  If you still have problems made me know.

  Good luck!

• Question - loop on Satellite L350-170 Windows error recovery

  Toshiba Satellite L350-170 - Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 2.00 GHz, 2 GB, 250 GB, 17 "TFT, DVDSM, VHP

  My wife bought three weeks ago. Use of the lamp. Everything works fine, until a dialogue of "Startup Repair" appeared. Since then, the machine starts.

  Machine goes into "Windows Error Recovery" immediately after the Toshiba start screen and has the following options;
  (1) run the Startup Repair tool
  (2) start Windows normally

  Option 2 results in a blank screen and finally goes back to the screen "Windows Error Recovery".

  Option 1 has the reboot dialog box;

  "Your computer was unable to start.
  Startup Repair is checking your system for problems... »

  At this point, the Toshiba laptop enters an endless loop.

  So what I do now? There is no disc came with the laptop, so I can't reinstall the operating system. The dealer (Comet) is less useful and don't know no refund or Exchange for a defective product.

  Can someone please!

  Try this:

  Press F8 immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
  Then choose the first option called fix my computer.
  Then a new window should open and there you can choose the option called Toshiba recovery.

  Please note then this procedure would start the Toshiba HDD recovery and the BONE to relocate again. This would be to format the whole HARD drive and set the OS to the factory settings.

  In my eyes, you can use this procedure for recovery of HARD drive, or you can try to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
  Both lead to the same results

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 and Windows 7

  Hi all. First of all I am sorry for my bad English - I to little practice.

  Can I transfer my win Vista sp2 (x 32) to Win7 (x 32) on my laptop Satellite A300-1QF (?) PSAGCE-06F00JRU)?
  Is there any trouble with drivers/devices/something else? If it is, are there ways to avoid?
  I hate vista (((want to try vin7)))

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  At first, I must say that I don't know what you mean under transfer.
  I have Satellite A300 and dual boot with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 so I can say that Satellite A300 works perfectly with Win7, much better then Vista.

  What you can do is:
  # To upgrade Vista preinstalled for Win7 (the two 32-bit) or
  # Install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  If you need help let us know.

  Hello

  I found information that Satellite A60 has 512 MB of RAM onboard and a single RAM slot is available. The module of RAM to use this device must be PC2100 DDR - RAM and maximum memory that your device can handle with 1536 MB.

  Recommended by Toshiba RAM modules are:
  256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

• Satellite R830 and Windows 10 question webcam

  The Microsoft Upgrade Advisor said that my Satellite R830-182 would be allowed to switch to Windows 10, so I made the leap. Everything works fine, except the webcam of Toshiba. Device Manager States "the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)" and click on "update drivers" is futile.

  The Toshiba site looking for an updated driver, I found that this model is not in their models supported for Windows 10, despite the advice of Mrs.

  Anyone know if there is a way around this problem (another pilot?), or it is impossible to get this webcam works in Windows 10?

  Thank you.

• Satellite P30 and Windows 2000...

  Please, please, please... help me solve my nightmare!

  I tried all ways to install Windows 2000 on my satellite P30. All software and drivers are updated (service pack 4, dx9, lastes drivers, etc), but...

  When the installation of the white screen of graphic Ati drivers (ati 9700) appears and it crash (as shown in the previous topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4136&messageID=13825#13825 - I want to reopen that walk but is locked)

  The problem is that I have great experience in the software/hardware and I have installed all drivers (drivers omega, satellite m30x drivers, drivers ati, different drivers manufactured, ecc.) but the problem STILL persists.

  I'm going to give up, but before that I would like to know, if someone here in this forum has solved this problem or if anyone really expert could suggest me other ways to install windows 2000 on this computer?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Nick is quite right. W2000 is not officially supported for this model of laptop, and you won't find a graphics card driver on Toshiba download site. I assume that you have installed the driver from ATI directly download site. In this case there is no guarantee that it will work properly.

  Sorry

• Satellite A300 and Windows 10

  I loaded windows on my sSatellite A300 10 overview

  1 LAN connected only once, despite being the cable is connected. (wifi connection) Says he is disabled, but can not see as a network card or in Device Manager to activate
  2 the back of the fingerprint scanner not connect to public services knows that it is a device but no connection?
  3 drive DVD from Toshiba is a problem known to any idea on when it will be fixed
  4 have been blocking Windows betweeen flag and research must restart to fix. other will have access on the start bar but not windows or research

  Thank you very much for your interesting report.
  Former Satellite A300 was originally shipped with Vista and has been supported for Win7 32 bit. Note even for Win8 so I do not think that Toshiba will do everything to offer drivers suitable for Win10.

  What you can try is to use the drivers, tools and utilities designed for newer models and hope everything wil works correctly.

  I am 100 & sure old A300 wil not be taken in charge for Win10.

• satellite A50 and windows XP SP2

  Hello

  I have a question, recently I improve my windows XP Home Edition (Dutch) to SP2. After that everything works perfectly except on something important. TOSHIBA Power Saver. I have installed all updates to recommend internet page. If I switch between the different profiles (FN + F2). I get a blue screen and the prompt to reboot the PC. I can't read what it says.
  The other point is that even if I do not change, the laptop works at full power all time.

  is this what can I do with this problem?

  Kind regards
  Sjoerd

  Hello

  Hmm... This is strange. I will try to uninstall the Powermanager, and then reinstall it again. Any improvement? If not, right-click right workstation, click on properties (last line), click Advanced, click the settings button in the boot sector and recovery.
  Uncheck the box saying "Automatically restart" and then click on OK until your back in the real world.
  Next time, you get a blue screen, it will not restart but rather stop with the error message. If she tells you what to know (maybe) be difficult to say and then take it down and post it here (forget memoryadresses and segments, pointers and all that.

• Supported satellite M110 and Windows 7

  G ' Day all,

  I'm trying to help my daughter with her:
  ___Manufacturer: Toshiba
  ___Family: satellite M110
  ___Model: PSMBOA - 01J00D

  Can someone tell me if this model will run Windows 7 and where to find the drivers?

  Thank you

  Pat Garard

  According to Toshiba Australia support page your laptop is supported for Windows XP Home and Vista 32-bit edition only.
  In any case, I'm sure that you can run Win7 on this model of laptop. Many Vista drivers can be used and also older hardware will be installed after updating Win7.

  So to install Win7 and check the Device Manager to see which components of the material must be installed. First chipset Vista display driver and Win7 update utility.

  Just be patient and I think that after several reboots over the components will be installed.
  Test it.

• Satellite A200 and Windows 7 64 bit - how someone test it?

  Someone has test and works with it.
  I * A200 23W * with 4 GB of memory, vista sp2 installed and I want to have a clear installation * windows 7 but the 64-bit version *.

  What do you think?

  I think it will be works well with your laptop. I have the Satellite P200 (big brother of the A200) and I want to install Win7 as soon as possible.
  Unfortunately for now, Toshiba is a not free Win7 drivers and we have to be patient and wait a bit until the Win7 drivers will be offered on the Toshiba download page.

• Problem with the Satellite A200 and Windows Vista startup

  Yesterday, my laptop had some mistakes and tried to stop.
  He remained on the screen closed for quite a long time, so I decided to push the power button until it turns off.

  When I went to turn it back to the a started going through the normal screens, the Toshiba screen and then the white screen with the Microsoft flag down. At this point, the screen goes completely black and rest that way.

  Through starting initial power cord, light is turned on, the power supply is on the HARD drive light and then when the screen turns white HARD drive light turns off and stays off.

  I tried to do a system repair using the F8 key at startup and it goes into the Advanced Boot Options menu when I select 'Repair your computer', the light of the HARD drive temporarily, I go through the screens and select System Restore, I selected a date a few weeks and then click Next on the screen indicating the (c :)) system disk is ready to be restored then it returns an error -" (c) drive has errors. Windows has detected corruption in the file (c) system.

  You should check the drive for errors before you can restore it "- and at this point, I can only click on the 'check' the drive to find errors, and then click Start, as he chose the option 'Automatically fix file system errors'."

  When I click Start nothing seems to happen just on the same screen, the HARD drive light does not come on at all and there is no internal HARD drive noise. The only way I can get out of this screen is to turn the computer off again.

  If someone is able to help I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you!
