Satellite L30 - 10Y - how to reset to factory settings?

I have a Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10Y, I want to back to factory setting, but how can I do this?

Thank you
Niall

Hi prescott91,

You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, it is very easy: just boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will delete the whole HARD disk restore factory settings and then recreate the partitions.
So if you have important data on it, make a backup of it if not already done.

But it is also described in your user manual. Have a look at. It s interesting documentation. ;)

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have already formatted the Windows partition, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. Also there is no possibility to access the recovery files and start them, so the pre-installed operating system is necessary.

    The only option you have is Toshiba recovery disc. Only with this drive, you can restore the original settings of the box but I m wondering why you have n t a. It s mentioned in the user manual you have to create yourself

    In any case, just order a disc here and be happy ;)

  • Satellite A300 - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello everyone,

    first of all, sorry for my English, it is not my native language and I do a lot of mistakes, I hope you can understand me correctly.

    My problem is that I have a toshiba Satellite A300 provided with Windows Vista op time after I have bought I installed windows 7 on it (you know, so new that I have to try). Now, my problem is I want to reset my phone. I have the recovery disks, and the folder HDDRecovery D: but my computer cannot read.

    What can I do? I tried a lot of things... How can I reboot my computer to factory settings?

    Hope you can help me,

    Best regards.

    Hi biguri,.

    After the installation of another operating system, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. That means Vista preloaded with all the drivers and tools you get back if you boot from the recovery disc and follow the on-screen instructions.

    But don't forget to make a backup of the important files like photos, videos, etc., because the recovery disk will wipe the entire HARD disk.

    You have problems with the recovery disk?

  • Satellite Pro P200-1JV - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello

    I'm trying to reset my Satellite Pro P200-1JV to factory settings. I tried pressing reset and turn on, also tried pressing F8 and turn on and no system recovery doesn't happen as I was told that it should.

    I put everything in place of discs with it and it's a Vista operating system.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Hi alanmanley,

    Why you press the zero key to restore factory settings?
    You can restore the factory settings if you go into the advanced Windows (F8) boot menu and select Repair my computer. Then will begin the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows.

    In addition, this option is available on OS preinstalled Toshiba and the recovery disc, that you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual.

  • Satellite L350-277 - how to recover to factory settings?

    I had a lot of problems with my Satellite L350-277. I had already created a recovery to help drive the Tech that was installed on the laptop guy.

    In any case, it is time to reinstall again to the State of the plant. Thoughtless I pulled a drive of my computer Vista laptop satellite (I thought it was the original disc). All goes well until it restarts after you install windows system. On the screen was the warning that the product key was wrong, that's when I noticed the Vista on the screen. So I tracked down to the copy I made, it was not in the channel where I put the original his was among all the garbage I've had in the area (where I put all the waste). He was full of scratches and it does not load.

    What I had actually done using the Vista disc has been clear the program on the D drive that reads from Windows 7. I ended up going to the PCWorld Tech guys. They have reinstalled windows 7 for the cost of £50. I didn't mind that I got my laptop working again. What I did not know according to them, was I can't create a recovery disk.

    So to my question. Can I get my laptop back with all Toshiba knick knacks, so that its possible to create a restore disk. If not, can I get a Windows 7 disc installation program, download all drivers & create a restore disk in case of something that happens and I can reinstall windows 7? Get cramps in my fingers now. I'm not going on a little lol.

    Hey Buddy,

    That s a little confused is your story...

    Normally you get factory settings if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore the pre-installed Windows version that came with your laptop.

    If you have Windows 7, you can t create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Only possible on what s preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, but if you install your own copy, you can create such a floppy.

    If you have the original operating system back, you can order a recovery disc Toshiba here:

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L30 - 10Y

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L30 - 10Y (PSL33E 03L031EN) (about 2 years), it is running Vista (installed come) and I'll replace it with XP pro SP3.
    I already have the drivers (from the Division of driver Toshiba), but I wonder if there are any issues that anyone knows how I could run in this case?

    I installed OS to my house several times, built offices with absolutely no problems whatsoever, but various articles I read there seems to be a bit of a 'ball game' different when it comes to laptops?
    Also I have Vista disks more so if XP will not install I can not simply go back to Vista.

    Tips, advice or warnings very welcome...

    Thanx

    Hello

    Your laptop is supported for Windows XP Home edition, and there should not be any problems at all. For installing WXP using Windows XP SP2 home edition.
    Download page for all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba.

    You can also find document Setup Instructions. Install all the stuff of Toshiba following this order of installations. It is very important.
    If you help please let us know.

  • Satellite L30 - 10Y: Win XP - yellow? near bus in Device Manager controller

    Hello

    a problem with the satellite L30 - 10Y PSL33.
    In management of XP - other devices - system management bus controller device - it is to present a question mark with a small exclamation point.

    Maybe reinstall a chipset drivers, but I have not found a right driver in toshiba's site.

    You have an idea on this message and if is it all reinstall drive, what type and the parent link for download?
    Thanks in advance.

    Manuele

    Hello

    Hmm I don't very well if this entry could be linked to a m Chipset driver.
    But you can find the chipset driver yourself.
    Install a tool of diagnosis of equipment as Everest Home Edition and control hardware components. Then, you would be able to download driver chipset chipset manufacturer page.

    But in your case I recommend you delete this first device manager entry.
    Mark this bus controller and press to remove or uninstall.
    Restart the unit.

    Usually the Win XP should recognize and reinstall the device again

  • Satellite L30 - 10Y black at startup the screen upward after the installation of new modules of RAM

    Hello

    I use the L30 - 10Y model with the following memory specification:

    standard: 512 MB
    maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)
    expansion module sizes: 256, 512, 1 024 MB

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic Edition with a 32-bit operating system.

    When installing, I removed the standard 512 MB module and added 2 modules of 1 GB compatible. At startup, it stays on a black screen.

    However, if I removed 1 1 GB modules and put the old 512 MB module to give me 1.5 GB, it works.

    I was wondering if anyone knows why this is and if there is anything that I can try to get the maximum of 2 gb, if it is indeed possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    According to the product page Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10Y is able to manage 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB)
    I think that the problem is related to memory modules not fully compatible
    I think a new, fully compatible RAM modules should resolve this problem.

    PS: You updated the BIOS? If this is not the case, check if a new update of the BIOS is available on the European driver Toshiba page.

  • Processor hard in Satellite L30 - 10Y

    I just bought a laptop Satellite L30 - 10Y.
    The specification of State she should have a Celeron M 440 1.86 GHz.
    However, when I check in the Device Manager it shows 420 M @ 1.6 GHz.

    The support line told me to go back to the Curry of Exchange because it's a D.O.A.
    I checked the view model in the store and found that it was the same, so an Exchange was out of the question.
    I went next to PC World and checked their view model...

    Yes, even again. When I pointed out to the staff of PC world, they said, obviously got it wrong like sound specifications clearly a 420 M @ 1.60 GHz.

    If anyone has another response that Toshiba have been fitted the wrong processor on their laptop computer.

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    are you really sure that a M420 is in there? Maybe it s just a software thing?

    The best will be a biosupdate to check if just the bios is the reason that an incorrect CPU is displayed.
    Just upgrade to the latest version available and give some feedback if it solved your problem.

  • Satellite L30 - 10Y: error checking after the 2 GB of RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30 - 10Y ^ months ago I walking the RAM 1.5 GB by adding a card of 1 GB of RAM in the 512 MB card provided it worked well.
    I also have walking my son Hi-Grade lapto with exactly the same specifications of RAM that worked well also. So I decided to grade until my L30 10Y with another card of the same specification to bring it up to 2 GB as specified by TOSHIBA.

    I booted the computer to find Hay presto after the message following the start screen appears * "_the file is possibly corrupted.
    The file header checksum does not match the calculated checksum_ "* the computer then froze and I turned it off."

    Controls, I did tried two cards into the two slots without change, 1 card in both slots (an empty) works very well. Other card in the two sons of slots (works Fine) the two card slots in my computer (works very well) all three cards and 512 MB card in the configuration of the slots and cards (works fine). The three cards 1 GB in all configerations cards and slots to the error message and other times 1 long beep and 2 short.
    Yes, the cards have been installed correctly. Impossible to change something to do with the BIOS, even though it may be accssed. Cannot run dvd player although I can select.

    I went back to 1.5 GB and reinstalled all OS the drive recovery Toshiba try all over again the same results. Running windows Vista Edition family Basic, Bios is the last download. RAM is compatible. Cheep Hi-Grade son accepts that all RAM in all Configurations without sentence windows XP operating system.

    Can anyone think of anything either, I have not tried, or I just have to go and by a Hi-grade computer?

    Hello

    I read your announcement carefully, and it seems that you have checked that everything what is possible
    So in my opinion the two ram modules are not compatible set
    It's the only plausible explanation for this problem.

    AFAIK the L30 - 10Y needs DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.

    Finally the short beeps are coming from the BIOS and it means that the error has been detected.

    Hello

    I have a similar suggestions and proposals of solution;
    First check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. If this is not the case, try to update.

    But to be honest, I doubt that this could be a BIOS problem. It sounds more like a problem with a hardware component.
    I remember that my friend had a similar problem.
    The Courvite of mouse and touchpad jumped on the screen and was not usable
    It's a keyboard question EPA has replaced the keyboard and the problem disappeared.

    But this does not mean that your keyboard is broken it is perhaps only an option

    Anyway, the ASP must check hardware components; for example, the new adapter must be tested too

  • PCMCIA card will not install on Satellite L30 - 10y

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help with this problem. I recently bought a PCMCIA card with additional USB ports for my laptop Satellite L30 - 10y. It works on Vista basic, anyway I shoved the card into the slot and let windows install the drivers, problem is it will not load I get an error message saying that the MDT-0002 device does not charge.

    Is it a Vista problem or Toshiba thing?
    Thanks for any help on this one
    Regards Ciaran

    Hello

    I doubt that it could be a matter of Toshiba.
    I googled a bit for this device MDT-0002 error, and this error using some PCMCIA cards on different laptops from different manufacturers under Vista OS.
    Someone said that the Pcmcia.sys (PCMCIA driver) must be updated.

    I also recommend to contact manufacturer of PCMCIA card support for more details on a few issues with the Vista operating system.
