• Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

  Hello

  My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
  As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
  I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

  Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

  I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

  Any information received with gratitude

  Thank you Ron

  Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

  With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
  This would allow an advanced boot menu.
  Here you must choose repair computer

  But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

• Satellite L40 PSL48E FN keys do not work

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40 PSL48E, and it works perfectly, except that the FN + no matter what key does not work.

  I've been option on this forum, and I found the solution, which is: download the common Module and the Hotkey Utility.
  However, this only seems to work for Windows XP and I have Vista Ultimate, so this won't work.

  Also, I discovered that FN + F11 seems to work, and I searched on that one too, but it was something like:

  «So, go to "Run" (i.e. run an application) and run msconfig.exe or simply search for msconfig.exe.»

  After the opening of this program, you will have a few tabs and a tab should be as 'start-up', it should be the filename TCrdMain.exe and a checkbox before that. Uncheck the box, and you disable this cardmanager.
  "

  Well, I went to msconfig.exe, but TCrdMain.exe was not on the list...

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thanks, Koen.

  Hello

  My problem is that I have updated the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. (Corrupt BIOS?)

  After that the BIOS updated (Satellite L40 PSL48E), reboot the machine and with the F2 key, I open the BIOS setup.
  I check the version of the BIOS (5.50) and complete the configuration of the BIOS. The machine must restart now...
  Not at all, the machine does not restart. No screen only the powerled lights.

  It's strange because after that the updated BIOS update you can go into the BIOS.

  However, try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then put the battery back in and connect the AC adapter. Try again.

  If it doesn't work it is something wrong with the hardware or BIOS and must be checked by a technician for laptop.

  But I have one! How can I get this drive or can make this disc of BONE? What should I do?
  Guess the ISO of the DVD to recover is somewhere on the NET, is I not?

  Hello

  Recovery image is not downloadable, and if you can't install OS HARD drive partition you must order the original Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  BTW: have you tried to install the OS using F8 option at startup?

  Is - it there anyway that I can get my Satellite L40 repaired now the warranty is exhausted?
  I looked at the Services guarantee customer Toshiba but £159,85 it's more that I have can we afford right now.

  Hello

  Well, the fact is that you will pay for the repair if the guarantee is no longer valid.
  So now the question is; What role could malfunction if your motherboard is faulty then the remedy would be a costly affair because the motherboard is one of the portable computer expensive parties.
