Satellite A80 XP recovery work do not

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite A80, I want to pass on to my children.
Before that, I need to reinstall the XP o/s via the original product Recovery DVD-ROM.

When I boot the disk, it tells me that it only works the * 'Toshiba PC' *-press the button and it restarts.

Am I missing something? -Any ideas?

Thank you

Hello

Are you sure you used the right and compatible CD?
Perhaps the recovery disk was created for another different Toshiba notebook?

Moreover, something might be wrong with the DMI information, which are stored on the motherboard.
The DMI contains different information on the laptop.
If this info is damaged or does not exist because mobo has changed, then you will get this error message saying that it is not a Toshiba laptop or similar

If the worst case I recommend that you install Win XP using a Microsoft Win XP CD. All the drivers of Toshiba for A80 lie on the European driver Toshiba Note page; You must choose archives to find the drivers.

Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • Satellite L300-215 - recovery disk could not be installed on this hardware

    Hi, after running fine for several months I stopped my laptop recently and when I went to start upward again it tells me that there is an error with Windows and was to be the center of repair.

    After four hours of waiting and get no - where I decided to use the recovery discs, I had the last time I sent him away. After installing all the necessary components it then tells me it was installing Windows. After doing this for ten minutes, I got a pop up block telling me that "Windows cannot be installed on this material. After it closes and I restarted, he told me the same message and suggest I reinstall so I tried the process and it ended in the same result.

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    I m wondering... I never heard of such an issue.
    If I understand you correctly, you have received the Toshiba recovery disks or have you created yourself?

    Maybe the recovery discs are not designed for this type of laptop
    If you can test it with a disc of Microsoft you should do. Maybe it will work.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the motherboard of your laptop was exchanged prior. Theoretically, this could happen missing DMI information. In this case an authorized service provider can help you. :)

  • Satellite P300 - one key works is not on the keyboard

    Is the laptop Satellite P300 - "PSPCA-01U013.

    Thanks :)

    Hello

    Maybe there is no contact this button.
    As far as I know, you can not solve simple buttons. You can remove the key caps but I put that this problem is related to the plug defective or similar then it seems that you need to replace the keyboard.
    Keyboard can be ordered from Toshiba ASP in your country. If you have no experience in the replacement of parts, then I recommend asking a support technician.

    Good luck

  • System Recovery works do not with my Satellite P100

    I followed the instructions I saw on many sites to be able to do a system restore to 'out-of-box"State. I've maintained pressed zero and hit the key on and then release the zero key when I hear the beep. After that it only gives me the possibility to proceed to the recovery of the system. It starts just as usual.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Hello Shae

    How to start now? OK Let's ' s go!

    Toshiba recovery procedure can be done with recovery CD/DVD or facilities using images stored on the HARD disk. Image stored on the HARD drive will be offered with the new notebooks only and I am sure that your Satellite P100 is delivered with a CD/DVD media and not the HARD drive recovery option.

    AFAIK this option 0 is for HDD only installation. Please note that this option 0 is not also for all Toshiba laptops. For European books, you can start installation disk with F8 and not 0.

    I hope you understand how this works now. The question is what P100 you have exactly and how you are trying to install OS? You want to use Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs?

  • Satellite L350-170 - recovery disk does not work

    Hello

    I have a L350-170 running Windows Vista home, I recently buy a Toshiba restore CD and now that it's happened, it does not work.

    I put in the CD and boot from the CD drive, I can hear work and the display shows "Windows loading files" and a bar appears at the bottom of the screen, after that, the screen turns white and all I'm left with is a pointer of the mouse and a black screen.

    Thank you
    Jackie

    Hello

    Have you tested if the laptop would start using another bootable Linux Live CD, WinPE or Win XP disc?
    Please check that would help determine if the problem is related to the computer laptop or recovery disk.

    Please also check if the HARD drive is ok. For this test, you can use a test called Drive Fitness Test free HARD drive tool. Google for it.

    However, it could also be a defective recovery disc and in this case, you should get in touch with the guys where you ordered this drive may be you need a replacement.

  • Satellite A200: Recovery work does not correctly

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba A200 and attempted to retrieve the default settings using the provided Toshiba CD recovery. I can't make it work...

    Initially, the recovery seems to work very well, and it copies the files from the first recovery CD (1of2). Then, I get a message "Please insert next media and press OK to continue" and the drawer opens. When I insert the second CD (2of2), he turns as if you're trying to read, then opens the tray and again gives the message "Please insert next media and press OK to continue.

    I thought maybe it was a doubtful CD2, but trying to retrieve from the hard drive partition without using the CD (i.e. by pressing 0 at the start and following instructions for out-of-box state) I get the same message. Surely if I get back from the HARD drive so that I would not insert any media?

    I have tried several times and get the same message. In addition, sometimes after inserting CD2, I get the message "error copy of file or folder.» Cannot copy PREINST001: data error (cyclic redundancy check). »

    I would be eternally grateful for any help on this one!

    Euan.

    Believe me a virus cannot affect the recovery procedure.

    First the HARD disk will be formatted before the OS will be installed and that would wipe out the virus from the HARD drive.

    Second, a virus cannot affect any 3rd party, no writable media

    It is therefore something different

    Swap the optical disk drive and you will be able to use the recovery disc. You can get it on eBay and it is not so expensive.

  • Satellite Pro L10: Recovery disk is not available

    HELO,
    I lost my disc of recovery for Toshiba Satellite Pro L10.
    Service in Poland say my only: Toshiba do not have this disc now.
    am I to do now?

    I need to reinstall my system.

    Model number PSL15E-00x009PL, serial number 55016672W

    Sorry, my English is bad.

    Krzysiek

    Hello

    It s very strange because this device is not very old, and as far as I know you can order all recover cd. Toshiba should always have a copy of the CD or DVD. I can t believe that it s is not possible.
    I would recommend asking EPA again or to call other ASP in Poland.

    The second possibility is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM, and then install the drivers set and tools of Toshiba.
    Such Toshiba things you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  • Satellite L500-19Z - recovery process is not complete properly?

    Trying to reinstall my system Windows 7 on a satellite L500-19Z. When I insert the recovery disk it ends and then restarts.

    When reboot it goes through the "system registry' and 'system settings' and then restarts. He said Athens 'set up for first use.
    Then it comes up with a white screen and the box saying "the finalization of installation - will take a few minutes" etc.

    However, after a while it just restarts and goes through the same sequence again - and again - and again etc.

    I can reboot into safe mode, but it will not make a system restore point.
    When I try to reboot normally it just goes back into the routine above.

    I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.

    > I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.

  • Satellite P10 - 504 - recovery disk will not load

    Hello

    > all I get is a window box asking what would like to windows do you, like what you get when you insert a music disc or vid
    This means you want to use the recovery disc in Windows? It will not work.

    The point is that you must boot from the recovery disc rather Windows on the HARD drive so until the computer starts to go into the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive like device starting. Make sure that the recovery disk is in the drive and the recovery disk will start. Now follow the instructions on the screen.

    I have a Satellite P200-144 and since I installed a new Synaptics driver provided for me through Windows Update the touchpad did not work.

    I tried to roll back the driver, re - install a new installation of a driver Alps (as suggested by a messsage on board), but this has no effect. I tried to revert to a previous state of the system, but this fails to happen.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the noteboos when I bought a few months ago. I also went in the settings in the control panel and none of the settings work - help!

    Someone has it has happen to them, or does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Hello

    a quick and efficient solution would be to backup your data on an external (DVD, USB - HDD, etc.) to recover your machine and then to AVOID such Windows updates, as this driver IS not native drivers from the manufacturer. Just install the drivers supplied by toshiba, since they act on your machine.

    Unfortunately I have Don t have another solution for you, then it would be best to try this method and give a quick answer if it worked.

  • Quiz on recovery work is not for me in Captivate 5.5

    Hi all

    Running in a couple of frustrations with Captivate 5.5.

    The Resume Quiz option doesn't seem to work for me.  When a user presses the button, it goes back to the first question in the questionnaire, but he still has their initial response and he won't let not the user change.  The clear buttons / propose do not work either.  So they can't go.  What's not?  Am I missing something?  Extremely frustrating.

    Pointers, greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Hope that you don't mind wondering if you not mix affects the review and recovery? If the user looks at a quiz, it is no longer not to resume it, even if there are still attempts left.
