• Satellite A660 - Windows 7 startup problem

  Hi, I have I think the biggest problem I have ever had. I have the Toshiba Satellite A660. I have Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (just to know.) Computer laptop freezed so I pressed to shutdown (stop) to close.

  Then I tried to start it but I saw only "starting Windows" for more than an hour... When I tried to use the repair disk I saw the Green loading bar only (such as loading windows XP) but nothing happened again. So I tried to use the installation disc, but I get a "windows start" and nothing happened, even with a USB tip.

  Could someone help me?
  Thanks for all the posts.

  I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
  You can or you looked in the BIOS? I don't know what you can view/change but is the HDD displayed and if memory is reported?
  If you use the drive of W7 or reinstall to start the computer drive can you get to the screen install Windows and select "repair your computer". If you do not see this screen, you will need to make sure that the DVD or USB is the first boot device.

  Return to this stage for more ideas or google for something like "windows command prompt repair 7.

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

• Satellite A660 - Windows won't load - I can't get back

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 7U.
  Last night it could not start.

  I ran the Norton ghost boot cd and save most of the things that I needed.
  I also noticed player C has become just 1.5gig and there was an extra drive!

  I tried to run the system restore by using startup Toshibas restore factory settings. first of all it does not have enough space in drive C, and then when I changed the settings to delete all partitions, he was preparing for a long time the copy as long (10 min) time and then turned itself off.

  Now what should I do? My HARD drive has disappeared?
  I see all my stuff when I use Norton ghost however. I copied most of the things in the drive (D) possibility of a virus?

  William

  Hello

  I think that Akuma is right.
  The Ghost has copied all the files (backup) image on the C partition and as a result there is no more free space on this partition.

  I m wondering if you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk. Did you?
  If you didn t create the recovery disk and if the disk HARD recovery option doesn't work, then you must order a new recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings.

  Of course, it is an additional option if the procedure of restoring ghost image would not work.

• Satellite L450D: Windows 7 and Netgear connection problems

  Hello

  Ive recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L450D but I can't connect to a netgear wireless account...
  It works fine on another laptop and my toshiba can connect to an account of different eircom without problem...

  What is the new Windows 7, which is not compatible with the server or do I have another problem!

  Thank you! :)

  Hello

  What you mean with Netgear wireless account exactly? Do you mean the router Netgear WLAN?

  Normally, you can connect to each WLAN router. It makes no difference which manufacturing, you have the router but factory settings are different, this means that some routers have DHCP and static IP addresses, for example. I think you should check the TCP/IP configuration and update the WLAN driver.

  Check for an update WLAN Portal: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  Good luck! :)

• Fonts Windows 7 SP1 Search box problem

  I bought an Acer laptop not long ago, the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I'm Chinese, so I put the location and the type of keyboard and all China. But soon, I realized that there was a problem with the search box. When its not active, the police appear normal, but when I type something in, it becomes an ugly font that I think has been used in Windows XP. I asked other people, they say its because I put everything to the Chinese, but is anyway to fix this?

  I had the same problem before. It can be corrected by:

  Under "Text Services and input languages" page where you can add different input methods, select "English (United States) - U.S." instead of "Chinese (...)". -U.S."default input language. This solved my problem.

• Satellite A660-1DW - adapter in the box?

  Hi newbie here.

  It is perhaps the most incredibly stupid question on here but anyway. I bought a 1DW A660 Argos today and get it home, unpacked the portable, but seem to have only the power cord with the standard bog 3 pins taken end, wrong thinking that the power adapter is missing and that he should come in the box.

  I know it's a stupid question, but with how companies are cutting back on what they give you these days I just want to be sure before going and raising hell in Argos!

  Thank you very much.

  Hey,.

  It s no stupid question, boyfriend ;)
  It s always interesting to share everyone's experience here and you can ask what you want about Toshiba laptops.

  Anyway, normally with Notepad, you get a power cord adapter and normal that you wrote. So you need a power adapter in the box beside the power cord.

  If this is not you must contact the seller and explain the situation. I m sure that you get for free a power adapter because it s just a mistake and nobody's perfect. ;)

• Satellite A660 HDD failure

  Hi all
  I've had the laptop for someone to look at.
  The laptop model is TOSHIBA SATELLITE A660, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
  This is not my laptop, I can't tell if the person has been using some software dengerous like spyware or any other, but I suppose that it is very likely.

  + WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? +
  There is a problem with the HARD disk, a message all the time, SMART 'failure predicted on hard drive '. PC is running, but slow, and not always to start Windows. Has more no guarantee on the computer, the store where it was purchased no longer exists. I don't have a recovery CD and Windows is stored in the recovery partition.
  The owner of the PC complained of strange noises from PC for a while, but I didn't hear myself.

  + WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR? +
  I searched the forums for an answer, but I have not found.
  I tried to look at the HARD drive, it is stable, not loose and seems fixed correctly.
  First thing I tried was the disk check, but it wasn't even to start. When I restarted the PC once I gave a chkdsk command, there was a black screen with info, it will start the process in 10,9,8... 1 sec, he stuck to 1 sec and never begun the process. After some time I left he thinks, PC off by itself (AC adapter / CC was pulged in all time).
  I tried to find the computer, I brought to the factory settings, but it did not help. The problem is always present and laptop is terribly slow. BTW, I had to try twice, once there was an error: error F3-FFCC-0006, I discovered, that the error appears when the AC adapter / CC was missing, but it is pluged in all the time.
  I brought the BIOS to its factory settings, which is probably not relevant.

  + WHAT I WANT TO KNOW? +
  Is there a possible way to repair the HARD drive?
  OK, I agree that I probably need to buy a new HARD drive, there is only one thing I would like to know. How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD? I do purchuase CD from Microsoft? Purchuased of TOSHIBA recovery CD solve my problem?

  Thanks for any help.
  I will appreciate it asap, cause this laptop is required by the owner of that an option to send the laptop to the service and wait weeks for some 'help' is not an option.

  > Is there a way to repair the HARD drive?

  No, what you can do is to repair / fix the bad sectors on the HARD drive, but if there is a physical problem, it will not help

  > How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD?

  The key belongs to the image of Toshiba that I n t think that it will work to activate the system installed using MS Win 7 disc
  However, you can download Windows 7 image of page Microsoft (google for it)
  Then you can burn the image to disk using Nero or other burning application supporting iso burning and could use this disc to install Windows 7

  Otherwise, you can order the Toshiba recover drive here:

• Official Satellite A660 cant get and iTunes-64 updates moved

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
  It's a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the options of support authorized toshiba - tempro, health bulletin board etc.

  Problem 1:
  The chips toshiba Board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, display drivers, wireless drivers etc.
  The only update (seems... it did not freeze at least) worked was the update of the broadcom wireless driver.
  So, for the update of the display, I download the file, unzip it and nothing is passes - I have tried to run the tinstallwb.exe.
  I am asked if I want the program to change the hard drive, I say Yes... and that's the last I've heard of it... tried for hours to make it work, but I look at a desktop computer without activity. In the folder to archive, if I try and run the setup.exe (the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.

  Problem 2:
  I tried the bios update, Bulletin Board asked me to install... it didn't, didn't want to install.

  Problem 3:
  I spend most of the time the laptop turned off, because it freezes on the screen of closing...

  Problem 4:
  Prob not a toshiba problem - but I can not install Quicktime or iTunes... the installer just freezes (it goes in not responing well) - I left runningn elaptop th for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64-bit until I had to kill the task (and turn it off, like shutdown does not work)

  Any ideas, I've given up trying to update the updates that the toshiba Council services told me to put up-to-date?
  I tried the update obvious everything I can, but the toshiba updates do not update :(
  Other software: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.

  Thanks for any help,

  Andy

  Hello

  (1) you can download all the drivers directly from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  If you really need an update, then you must download the file, should save on the HARD drive should unzip the package and must be run setup.exe or should update the driver from Device Manager.

  (2) this is a HowTo doc on update of the BIOS:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=60
  If this is not possible, then your Windows operating system might be confused to the top and maybe you should get the phone before performing a BIOS update.

  (3) as suggested above; all these questions could be linked to the damaged operating system and maybe you need to reinstall the operating system to make it work again.

  (4) see point 3

• Satellite A660/15J plaintive high-pitched noise

  I had a Satellite A660/15 days for 3 months, running Windows 7 64 bit. The machine emits a constant noise whining acute (kinda like the sound emitted by the first CRT television sets). The source of the noise seems to be the CPU (it is certainly not the cooling fan or HARD drive). Is this a known issue? If so, how can I stop?

  Since when did you notice this problem?
  I can only say that the friend of me has Satellite A660 but without any strange noises. The laptop is quiet, only the fan makes noises so it s running.

  For me, it sounds like a hardware malfunction, but before contacting an authorized service provider that you can try to fix it yourself by updating the BIOS. This can be found on the official website of Toshiba.

  If it doesn t help I would contact the ASP. Guys you can meet if it s or not normal behavior.

• Satellite A660-18 bootmng is missing

  It has a build in partition to perform a full recovery, but the error occurs immediately before I can press to reset the laptop. The laptop came with no recovery disc as there is a built-in option.

  Any advice or any help get me a recovery for windows disk 7 is welcome

  Hello

  Hmm in that case, you need to install the operating system recovery disc.
  Did you create this disc in the past?

• How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

  Hey,.

  Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
  I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

  Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

  How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
  The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
  Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

  The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
  I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
  There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

  Thank you!
  Chris

  > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

  You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
  The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

  The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Satellite A660/07U - problem install the nVidia for Win 7 64 bit driver

  A660/07U Windows 7 64 bit

  At first, I need to install this driver because apparently it will solve a problem with the current driver that is causing the computer freezes when booting with an external monitor as main display.

  I downloaded the Setup file of driver from the Toshiba web site and it's extraction ok but when I run the program it just then immediately quits without installing drivers.

  The Device Manager in windows seems not help either, because when I point to the extracted files it tells me that I already have the drivers, even if my current version of the driver is a lower number than the one downloaded.

  Restart made no difference.

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  It is a series of laptop Toshiba to THE.
  Where did you download the driver?

  Usually, you must choose the driver from this page:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/A660/psaw3a-07u00r/download?OS=25

  I recommend you to download and try to install it once more
