• Satellite L500-13D: all programs & settings are gone after upgrade to Windows 7

  Hello.

  My laptop is Satellite L500-13D

  I've upgraded to WINT in VISTA using official TSB upgrade disk.
  It seems that something was wrong. Win7 installed properly, but unfortunately all installed programs and settings are gone.
  I see also that when the upgrade $directories on C: and E partitions have been created; programs and older files are there.

  A few questions:

  1. is there a way to return return programs?
  2. how to create the recovery disks now under WIN7, because there is no CREATOR of TOSHIBA RECOVERY more?
  3. download TOSHIBA RECOVERY CREATOR?

  Hi mate

  Have you read the manual that came with the laptop and Windows 7 upgrade disc?

  After an upgrade to Windows 7 you need additional disk with the upgrade tools that came with the Windows 7 upgrade disk.

  > 2. How to create the recovery disks now under WIN7, because there is no CREATOR of TOSHIBA RECOVERY more?
  This is not possible because the recovery disk must be created at first running the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba.

  > 3. Download TOSHIBA RECOVERY CREATOR?
  If I know that cannot be downloaded.

• Satellite A350 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello

  Can some guide me in degardin Satellite A 350 from Vista to XP?

  Hello!

  And what do you know?

  If you want to install Windows XP on the laptop, you must only start since the installation of the disk and follow the instructions on the screen everything that s!

  But don t forget to install the SATA drivers. Otherwise I think that your HARD drive will be not recognized.
  And before installing XP you must burn the Toshiba Recovery disk if you didn't already. So, you can restore the factory settings whenever you want.

  Good bye

  Hello

  A downgrade from Vista to XP is possible. Why not?
  But as far as I know, so you need to reinstall the full specifications but in my opinion, this isn't a problem because you have the XP Recovery disk. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen.

  But before that, you you should burn the Windows Vista recovery disk. How do you know this? You need to start only the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you need a blank DVD. Then the Vista recovery disk will be created, and if you want new Vista, you must start only on this disc. That s all because it contains the settings factory and if all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  If you have installed XP you must register it on Microsoft. It is not necessary.
  AFAIK, you must enter a product key. It of already on the recovery disk.

  who says cd's seems to be fine as it can become red from the other computer.

  * Thanks to *.

  Hello

  That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

  In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.
  Check it!

  I'm upgrading from vista to windows 7, and I wonder how it is risky to not back up my files beforehand.  something sentimental value is already stored; What remains could be fairly easily replaced, so a lot of time.

• Satellite A500 - downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hi all!
  I received the laptop Satellite A500 with preinstalled Vista, is it possible to install XP even if Toshiba doesn't have any drivers for XP?
  Thank you!

  Generally Yes, but with the drivers, may be a little more problematic.
  Please don t start with the installation of Windows XP Home edition.
  Tell us in a first time what A500 you exactly (A500-xxx).

  What we can do is check if another model of phone has the same or similar hardware configuration. Then we can use drivers of another model of laptop that you supported WXP.

• Bought a Satellite L500-11V with Vista, but really want XP

  I just bought this laptop on Amazon, and to be honest, did not consider the operating system.
  I have programs that only runs under XP and frankly can't get into Vista.

  Is it possible to downgrade to XP? Do I have to buy the software? There was a leaflet presenting the phone promising a free upgrade to windows 7, but online I found it was expired. Would Toshiba downgrade me to XP for free and if so, where, in their site?

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Downgrade from Vista to XP isn't possible, you need to do a clean and new installation. Generally, you need a Microsoft Windows XP disk to install XP. By the way, the disc should contain at least SP2 or SP3 to best.

  As Timox writes for this model, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Here, you can download all the drivers and tools for your laptop and that kind of thing is also pretested by Toshiba.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)
