Satellite L300 - how to reinstall?

My backup file has been deleted. Now, I need to format the computer.

Question: How can I format it?

Hello

Can you give us more information, please?
This backup file do you mean exactly? Normally, if you delete a backup file you can still boot into Windows.

However, if you want to format your laptop you can use the Toshiba recovery or alternative disc a disc of Microsoft. Just boot from the floppy disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image on the factory settings. This means that your whole HARD disk is deleted and you come back the same settings after the first start of the laptop.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - how to reinstall the SATA drivers?

    Hi all

    I have a L300 I downgraded to XP. It runs with the SATA controller in compatibility mode and are sent here a lot, it's slow.

    I read you need drivers intel for her and so I downloaded the and down them and had an error "your computer does not minimum requirements.

    Tried in both safe mode and got the same error.

    Now I could try to use nlite and I've used it before, but the file I have is an executable and not an inf and files related to a driver, so I don't know how to add it to nlite. I'd rather do not re - load again if possible.

    So the simple question is how I install the AHCI SATA drivers so I don't have to run in compatibility mode.

    Thank you

  • Satellite L300 - how to reinstall Windows Vista on the replacement HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive has stopped working on my PSLB9E. He started making whirring noises and wouldn't start. all tests show it does not. Now I guess I need a replacement for HARD drive and watched a TOSH MK2565GSX or other similar. Problem is I can't find my Windows key anywhere.

    It is can get the key to Toshiba/Microsoft giving them all my contact information or do I have to buty a new HARD drive and install a copy newly purchased Windows on? If Yes, then I'll put W7 on I guess.

    Thanks in advance for any help I receive!

    SB

    > Problem is that I can't find my Windows key anywhere.
    The preinstalled Windows operating system and the image that is placed on the Toshiba recovery disc were already activated and therefore the serial key is not necessary.
    If you don t have the recovery disc, so you can buy this drive here:

    It s not expensive; 30 euros I guess.

  • How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

    Hello

    I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

    1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

    I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

    Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

    Hello!

    The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

    Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
    But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

    Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

  • Satellite L300 - how to save on the E: drive?

    Hello

    My sister seems to have problems with his hard drive, he said that it is almost full (vista drive (c :))) a message keeps coming up)
    I was wondering just how she can start using the E: drive. Is it possible to change the settings on the computer so that everything is saved on disk E
    I don't know much about computers but would really help

    It is Toshiba Satellite L300 and Windows Vista 32 bit

    Thanks maz

    Hey Buddy,

    You can use drive E all the time... ;-)

    The point is that most programs will be installed on the C drive, so you should choose drive E, if you want to install.

    In my opinion the best option is if you save all important files and private on second drive E. I mean these files like photos, videos, music, documents, etc. He just copy and post it on the E drive, everything that s! :)

    This model of laptop doesn't support BT (bluetooth).
    There is no BT module and so you will not be able to activate and to connect a mobile phone using the BT connection.

    The fastest solution would be if external use BT USB dongle.

  • Satellite L300 - how to connect to an analog TV?

    Hello..

    I have a Satellite L300 laptop.

    I want to connect it to an analog TV.

    The external monitor on the laptop output a VGA out? How can I connect to an analog TV? Is it enough to buy a RCA VGA cable? (the one with the VGA input and 3 output cable). Or I need something more?

    Please help me with this.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 too and it s equipped with a standard VGA output port. This means that you can use this port to connect the laptop a TV. As you say, this is why you need a RCA VGA cable. That s enough and you don t need more cable or adapters.
    In my case, it worked for me.

    If your laptop has a S-video port, you can use this port too.

  • Satellite L300 - can't reinstall Vista using the recovery disk

    My daughters Satellite L300 gave problems that seem to be hard disk errors.
    I installed a new hard drive and tried to reinstall vista from the recovery of the product CD.
    Partitions are created successfully and then I get an error "C:\program files\adobe\acrobat restoration...". several times followed by etc

    "image restoration of error."

    "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    "Imagex error not to VISTA F:\06235XSP.svm Index 2 odd c:\!

    "Press a key to continue."

    And thye ned.

    All ideas

    Hello

    Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
    To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

    Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
    Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
    Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

    Maybe it would work

  • Satellite L300 - how do I restore factory settings?

    I bought laptop Toshiba L300-19F with Windows Vista.

    I did not the backup CD for reinstallation of the operating system

    Can someone tell me how Ii reinstall my OS even when I bought it?

    Thanks in advance

    Did you check the manual of your laptop?
    You will find all the information about to reinstall your laptop or you get back to factory settings. Also you can find here a large number of discussions on this subject so you should only use the search function.

    But if you have Vista on your laptop computer you can restore the factory settings if you use HARD drive recovery or you create the recovery disk. For HARD drive recovery works you should only go into the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Repair my computer and follow the instructions on the screen.
    With drive recovery it s similar: just boot from the floppy disk and follow the instructions on the screen.

    In addition, you should this information since the recall of recovery:

  • Satellite L300: How to record the sound from a video without sound

    OK, yes the title of the topic is not entirely clear. Here's my situation: I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 with Vista; Realtek HD Audio Manager is installed. I would like to record the sound of a video file using Goldwave (a sound editing program); but I don't want to have to listen to the sound, while it's recording.

    On Windows XP, you used to be able to record the sound of the stereo mix, but put the speakers on mute and it would record again. Now I find that I have to turn my speakers in order to record anything on my computer. (Yes, I fiddled with all mute buttons, insured that all reading and recording devices are working and front volumes. My current solution is to plug my headphones on my laptop and to reactivate the sound from the speakers to register... and not put the headphones in my ears)

    I have now spent in the last 4 hours looking for a solution, and I must say it's especially ridiculous. I used Vista before and I've heard rumors of how many people hate, but honestly, how is it that now the audio capabilities seem to be reduced?

    Does anyone have a solution of how to record sound with the speakers on mute?

    Hello

    I also recorded the audio of a video file using another software called 32. and Win XP
    I also used the stereo mix, but to be honest I have never muted the speakers while recording.
    To be honest I n don't know if it's possible, but if you want to test, you can try the Realtek HD audio Manager in the access panel and set the speakers to cut on the first tab called speaker.
    But as I said, I've never tested and that's why I m not very good if it will work.
