• 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

  Help, please

  Hello hotshot.
  Recently I asked the customer service of Toshiba (Netherlands) the same question about warranty by phone. The guy said ' it's your computer, you can install what you like. ' " But if you need to send it for a problem, you will need to restore it to how it was when you got it. "I asked what happens if the computer develops a problem preventing you to restore it and the guy hohummed without giving an answer.
  XP should work, but you will need to find all the drivers beforehand.
  Third question, you did it.

• Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - is not restart after BIOS update

  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.

  I can to fix it on my own as a BIOS reset?

  Thank you for the cooperation.

  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.

• 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.

• Satellite P300 - 19 p: CD/DVD drive is trying to read the disk then ejects

  Hello

  I hope someone can help,

  I have a * Satellite P300 - 19 P *.
  I've had this laptop for 3 months and it's the last frustrating problem; occasionally when I insert a DVD or CD and close the CD tray tries to read the disc and then ejects the disc, even if I remove the drive and close the drive drawer pops out again,

  If I shut down the system and restart the problem still exists.
  I checked the drivers that are updated and the operating system is Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit.

  It is the fourth time this happens and the problem seems to fix it of self and reappears as and when!

  If anyone has had this problem or can anyone help because it makes me crazy.

  Hello!

  I think that s a problem with the CD/DVD drive.

  In your case, I would go to an ASP (authorized service provider). They should check your laptop and change the drive if necessary.
  Here, you can search an ASP:

• X satellite L40-12: need of Modem driver for Windows XP Home edition

  I need downgrading to Windows XP Home edition to my new Satellite L40 - 12 X. For now, Toshiba does not provide driver Windows XP Home edition for my laptop, exept for Atheros Wi - Fi.

  So I found the drivers for each device directly from the only supplier site except for the modem of Toshiba. Vista driver does not work and the list of devices in its .inf file tells that the chipset is Agere.

  On the site of agere, I have not found what I need... anyone can help me?
  Thank you

  Massimo

  I had the same problem on my L40 - 13G. Before installing drivers, you must download and install patch KB888111 and KB835221 for Windows XP. And try to install the XP of satellite L30 drivers (if you have modem with toshiba chipset) or L100 (if you have chipset connexant).
  P.S. sorry but my English is not good - but I hope you understand me :-)

  I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the drive DVD internal Multi - replacement will take a month or two to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I connected an external DVD drive to the machine.

  Hello Sammer

  Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used as internal drive only. I put t think you will be able to use it with an external device. On the restore CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to fix it for use with an external device.

  Yes, you must update the BIOS to the version of Windows XP. Now 5, 40 - WIN BIOS is available on the Toshiba page.

  I also found a graphic driver Intel on the Toshiba European driver page that should this graphics driver works for sure.

  By the way; Don t forget to install the driver chipset also

  Concerning

  Hello

  one question: which driver you tried to install? Intel or the Atheros driver. I mean, if you have an atheros card and that you have installed a driver package intel then it s possible that it won´t install.

  Please, try the other available driver and then come back and give a short answer about this.
