Satellite L300-1AY DVD recovery hangs at startup

I'm trying to recover my system from the recovery disks.
I created them since installing Vista from Toshiba.
Recovery has worked for me before. But now, there is just a black screen (and a restart after a while).

I gues this has to do with the partitions of hard drive that I have modified/deleted the original.
I do some partitions before I run recovery? Or do I have to remove them all before you start the recovery disk?

Or I have to do something to force the recovery disk in repartition my hard disk?

Hello

I guess you used the recovery, Toshiba disc creator to create a recovery disk is right?

Back to your question;
The recovery disk would be to format the HARD drive and erase the partitions automatically if there s anything and how many partitions have been created.

But good course in some cases, the recovery could crashes due to HARD drive problem
You have a Win XP disk? If so, try to boot from this drive and format the HARD drive again then use the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to install Vista.

Good luck

  • Satellite L300-1AY recovery does not

    Hello

    I have a question about the recovery for a Tosihba Satellite L300-1AY with Windows Vista preinstalled.
    I wanted to grab my laptop and when I pressed F8 during startup I could choose Restore my computer.

    But after the game, I received a message-box (System Recovery Options) telling me that installed programs may not start, and the only option I had was press OK then the computer shuts down.

    I was wondering if there was any way, this can be corrected or if there is another way to get my computer back.

    Thank you
    Pascal

    Hello

    You may retrieve the laptop using the recovery DVDs that you created if all goes well before this problem happened
    Did you create recovery DVDs?

    If this isn't the case, then only the HARD drive recovery option can be used.
    For this you have to press F8 after that laptop has been powered.
    Then choose fix my computer.
    Then a new window will appear and then you could choose Toshiba Recovery.

    If this procedure does not start and you will not be able to use HARD drive recovery you need a Toshiba Recovery DVD.

    If you didn t create the recovery DVD, so you can order it here:

  • Satellite L300 - 1AY PSLB8E: Modem Device on high definition Audio bus

    I installed XP on my satellite L300-1AY.
    I still have an unknown device: Modem device on high definition Audio bus

    How can I find the right driver for it?

    I think I've tried all the drivers found on the site of toshiba without success.

    Who could help me?

    Phil

    Hello

    I assume that you have installed the modem driver. Is this good?
    On the European driver Toshiba page I can find 3 different modem drivers; Conexant, Toshiba and Motorola modem driver.
    Check if you used the right method.

    Also I recommend that you install the MS patches: KB835221 and KB888111

  • Wi - Fi card satellite L300-1AY - unknown driver needed

    Hating the Vista, I just installed Win XP on my Satellite L300-1AY (PSLB8E).

    The wireless card is not recognized by any player.
    The 'Wireless Lan Driver' of Realtek downloaded at Toshiba website does not, even if I tried to apply this driver manually.

    This is the ID of the wireless controller:
    PCI\VEN_8086 & DEV_4232 & SUBSYS_12018086 & REV_00\4 & 318 47QAD & 0 & 00E1

    That someone could HELP me?

    Thanks in advance

    Phil

    Hello!

    Provider 8086, definitely that s an Intel device so in your case an Intel WLAN card (as I know the 5100).

    I put t know why the Web from Toshiba site offers only one driver Realtek for your model, but on WLAN portal, you can download the Intel driver and then it should work:

  • Satellite L300 - Download the recovery disk?

    Hey there,

    can anyone help? I got a Satellite L300 and today I wanted to reset everything. So, I started a recovery of the product. Too bad I haven't checked the DVD before you start. It struck although I use it before. So recovery stopped in the middle of nowwhere. I can't complete recovery - I can't launch computer - and I can't copy the disc on another computer (tried of course).

    Is there a site where I can download a disk image of the recovery of product anywhere?

    Thank you!

    Hey horst,.

    You can download t the Toshiba Recovery disk, but you can order a new one by clicking here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    By the way: If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed you can also use HARD drive recovery option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. After that, you have factory again and you can create a new recovery disk.
    But remember: it is only possible on preinstalled OS. I guess it is Vista?

  • Written by Satellite L300 and DVD

    Hello!

    I want to ask how to put in place the DVD for best performance (Satellite L300 (PS *)).

    This laptop has the factorial DVD player, but when I want to read a DVD entirely, it required 1 hour...

    Yesterday I tried to write a DVD with Nero 6, and full time operation (with write/verification) is 02:20.
    It's horrible. In my corp DVD, writing is max 30 minutes...

    The OS is WinXP SP3, Nero is 6.0.x.

    What driver I need to sign up or anything I need to reconfigure to make effective DVD read/write this machine?

    Thanks for your IDEA of all.

    DD

    Hello!

    First of all for a CD/DVD drive, you don't need a driver. It s a part of the operating system (Windows).

    It is already an available update Nero 6.0.x. Please visit [www.ahead.com] and install the latest update. As far as I know the latest version is 6.6.1.15.

  • Satellite L300 - deleted file recovery

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 and by mistake I deleted the HARD drive recovery folder located in the E partition, now I can't do my system restore in case something goes wrong. I wonder how do I reinstall HARD drive recovery disk creator.

    Hello!

    If you deleted the folder in HARD drive recovery you can t create a recovery disk more.
    Also, you are not able to reinstall Windows without disc.

    Reinstall the Toshiba recovery disc creator will not solve this problem. It is only the program doesn t contain recovery files.

    So in your case, you need a recovery disk. You can get one from a local ASP or you buy a new Toshiba here directly:

  • Satellite L300-20W - DVD will not play

    Satellite L300-20W.
    Laptop CD in WMP fine plays.
    However if I try to play a DVD I get the message "Windows Medial Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

    If I try to use a Toshiba DVD player, a box opens (with clouds in there) and almost immediately I get the message "Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working" and then "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available," but of course he never advise me.

    Any help much appreciated. (Old man and not very technical)
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Regarding the error code: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. »

    It seems that your Windows Media Player does not have the necessary plugin DVD decoder that allows you to watch DVDs.
    See this MS knowledge base article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306331

    I also recommend to install a codec that allows you to watch other videos stored in other formats.
    K - lite Mega Codec Pack is free and contains all the codecs.

    If you are not able to use the Toshiba DVD software you must reinstall this tool.
    I think that the most recent version is released on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Hello

    This looks like a Windows problem. It seems that your Windows installation is muddled up and you need to reinstall the operating system.

    If you cannot access the start menu advanced in the t, you must take the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen everything that s and easy to use.

    In addition the recovery disk will delete everything on HARD drive for backup files important first. ;)

    Hello

    Format the HARD drive and try to restore the system using the disk recovery once more.
    If this does not work, then several reasons could be responsible for this problem.

    (1) the recovery discs are corrupted, or not created properly
    (2) the HARD drive or partition is may be defective

    If reocvery discs are defective, then you can order a new one by clicking here:

  • Satellite L300 - issue of recovery CD

    I need to restore factory settings and have somehow managed to delete my recovery partition...
    After a few bit of playing and reading I thought it better to order just a recovery CD from the backup media on Toshiba thingy.

    Now, when playing around, there was not a lot of people who said that their recovery CD did not work because they had no recovery partition.

    So, before you start throwing £30 autour, I figure it better to ask:

    * Is the restoration of recovery CD of my laptop to its factory settings WITHOUT the recovery partition? *

    Thanks for any help :D

    > Will be the recovery CD restore my laptop to its factory WITHOUT the recovery partition settings?

    YES!

    If you have the recovery DVDs, then you could use it to restore the laptop to factory settings.
    Many people deleted the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition and were NOT able to create the recovery disk. But if you have this drive then the HARD drive recovery files are not necessary to perform the recovery procedure.

  • Satellite U300-152: DVD Player hangs after two chapters of the film

    I have read the DVD using Windows Media Player, Media Center and Player Toshiba DVD movie but he eventually hangs and does not continue.

    I tried another DVD movie but it's the same deal, it doesn't push through. Do you think that there is a problem in the DVD-ROM or is it just the DVD movie? Anyway, it's a hacked DVD, a copy, I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

    Spare part for my ignorance. I'm new with this stuff. Ciao. Thank you.

    > Its a DVD hacked a copy I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

    That s not quite right.
    Of course, the CD/DVD drive can read different media but sometimes it possible s that the CD or DVD media can be not fully supported by CD/DVD drive. That s nothing unusual

    But it would be very interesting to know if you can watch original DVD movies. ?:|
    I mean not a copy or something like that.

    If you will be able to watch different films on DVD, then there s nothing wrong with your CD/DVD drive.

  • Satellite L300-H02: DVD/CD player don't work no-error message 39

    Hi all

    I just bought a Toshiba laptop, Vista Premium Edition family and after a massive Windows Update to download, DVD-CD player didn't work. Error message 39, driver damaged or missing. The driver isn't missing, so it must be corrupted. Am savvy with regedit on the dismantling of upper and lower filters in the registry, except haven action t deleting again, because he doesn t seem to be a upper filter listed. Only the lower filter.

    The information also indicates that you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall the affected programs. which is a problem, because Vista etc. has already been loaded and any other software provided with the laptop.

    I have a little chicken to go ahead and remove the lower filter registry entry, not because there are no upper entry to remove, I have heard some people cannot write to CD after removing the filters in the registry of m.

    Where can I get information about the CD-rom drive for this model: pslboa - 08 h 022?

    It is not any information about it in system information.

    Thanks in advance people, Anniebird
