Satellite L500: What Win 7 I will get reocvery disk: 32 or 64 bit?

Hello

I recently bought a Toshiba laptop (Satellite L500) which was preinstalled with a 64 bit version of Windows 7, stored on the hard drive, but unfortunately I have not create the 64 - bit recovery of it support.

So when I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 all data on the hard drive, including Windows 7 64 bit and its backup became erased.

I tried to order a recovery disc 64-bit Windows 7 for my laptop on the Backup Media of Toshiba Europe online store but when I go to the associated Web page and enter the serial number of my PC to identify the backup media that I need for my PC, there is just some information about the name of my PC model and price of the recovery disc without giving details of the version of the recovery disc.

So I don't know if I commander order for a recovery disk, will be sold to me which version of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit? ) ?

I would be very grateful if you could share your knowledge with me about it.

Thanks for your help

What is the model number of the L500? (PSLxxx-xxxxxx)

Google the model number and look at the booklet, which will tell you what OS it came with.

  • Satellite L500 - what to expect from the battery?

    I just brought a laptop Satellite L500/20. Can someone tell me what to expect of the battery?

    I turn on the laptop and the battery will be charged 100%. Basically, as soon as the laptop is turned on, it seems to drain the battery at a rate of 1% every 1 minute. Is this normal? At this rate, my battery died a few hours 1 and a half. I don't watch videos, listen to music or download large files.

    I use it mostly just for e-mails, must the battery completely drain it quickly?

    Hello

    I think it all depends on the battery type (e. g. 9 cells) and what you do with the laptop. For example I have Satellite L300 with Windows XP and I can work 2 hours maximum battery and this means that only surf the Internet without watch videos and the lower display brightness.

    According to the battery but I think that 1 hour and 30 minutes are ok on Vista or Windows 7 If you have a superior brightness of the screen.

    By the way: on the Toshiba site I found some interesting tips of the battery:

  • Satellite L500 - what is the third partition on the HARD drive?

    I see that I have three primary partitions already made on this new L500 ~.
    1.) 2GiB/dev/hda1 to Toshiba Recovery,.
    2.) 330 + giB (C :) for Vista and 3.) 12GiB/dev/hda3?.

    I need windows dualboot both valuation and partition for Linux and the storage installations.

    What is the third partition for and I can configure things so that I can save it in a logical Partition?

    My goal is:

    / dev/hda1 = Toshiba Recovery
    / dev/hda2 = Vista
    / dev/hda3 = Windows 7 ~ RC7
    / dev/hda4 = expanded to all others (including Linux, the existing 12GiB and common storage as well.)

    Any suggestions or thoughts before I dive?

    Best regards, SnapafunFrank

    Hello

    The third partition is Vista.
    Vista creates two partitions; a partition common to install the system and the second partition hidden for the backup files. These backup files are important for Vista. Vista needs him to repair the operating system if something will go wrong

    So it s is strongly recommended to leave this partition on the HARD disk

  • Bad wireless connection made account Satellite L500-1DT (Win 7-64 bit)

    Hello

    I hope someone might be able to help me with this problem. I brought a L500-1DT for my daughter elder for Christmas (and birthday) but I'm having problems with connecting to my wireless router. From his bedroom (to about 10 meters), it is luckly to get reception of 3 bars (out of five) and is wireless drop outs. This means that MSN comes at a critical time... Well she is only 16, so everything on MSN is critical.

    At first, I thought it was the former wireles router (my wife has problems with her IBM laptop and the other children of their Acer laptop) so I got a new Belkin router N (150). This seems to have solved the problem with Toshiba laptops not but there are still problems with the L500-1DT. If I have the Toshiba laptop computer in the same room as the router I get 4 bars (out of 5) at best.

    I checked for if ensure that there is no more recent driver updates and checked all the settings (more than once) and I'm at a loss as to what I do now. Is the defective laptop or I missed something?

    Kind regards
    The Build master

    > If I have the Toshiba laptop in the same room as the router I get 4 bars (out of 5) at best.
    4 of the 5 isn't bad Companion.
    It is ok...

    But if you want, you can check if a new BIOS is available for this model of laptop...
    If so, you can try to update.
    In addition, you can try changing the WiFi channel. The router and the wireless network card must be on the same channel.

    In the Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card, you can change some settings.

  • Satellite L500 - what is the voltage on the USB ports?

    What is the voltage on the USB ports?

    I would like to connect Transcend StoreJet 25 with USB 3.0. It takes a 5 V DC on USB. How (and where) can I check the voltage in my computer?

    Thanks for help.

    Hi again,

    USB voltage is always the same on each laptop because it s according to the version of USB port. For example, all USB 2.0 ports has the same specifications, otherwise he n t be a standard USB port. ;)

  • Satellite L500 - 12 p - where can I get Windows XP drivers?

    Hello

    I just bought this laptop, and if I knew that it does not support XP, she doesn't have the drivers for Vista I doubt, better yet, I know that I wouldn't take a Toshiba.

    There is no WARNING Kael'thas doesn't say "Vista only" or something similar, at least in my country, and it was unzipped.

    The problem is that I have only XP and I don't like VIsta, so is there any drivers for XP?

    I could not find drivers for XP, there is no drivers for Win7, only for Vista.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    In my opinion Windows XP is pretty old OS and the past. Vista is the future, and in a few days it will be Windows 7.

    So you should be happy if your laptop runs correctly with Vista preinstalled. The laptop is fast enough for this OS and with new SP2 turns faster than without MS. In addition, you can switch to Classic view, and then it looks like XP.
    Did you check this?

    If you really want XP you will need to collect the drivers yourself on external sites, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200-1WR: can I have Windows XP Reocvery disk free

    Dear Toshiba

    When I bought my A200-1WR, a little less than a year, it came with 2 recovery DVD, containing Windows XP SP2.
    I used Vista, which has been pre-installed, for a little while, until she began to come into conflict with some of my plug-and-play devices, leading to a severe delay in boot, etc. After a few months, I was able to get the laptop not charge at all. Fortunately, the recovery media provided contains XP Pro, so I ran these discs to solve the problem. At first, I didn't want to make a Vista recovery disk before installing XP, but the Toshiba Recovery Disc creator worked no more contradictory Vista, so when I ran the XP disk, I lost the "data"-partition containing Vista factory original installation/setup of my laptop. "."

    I intend to sell my A200, so I'll try to restore 'the product' in its original form. Therefore, I need to add support for recovery XP, and manuals. The latter, I downloaded, so I can provide those in PDF on the HD or flash drive. However, the recovery disks, those I don't have laying around. Initially, I wanted to copy my Pro A300 recovery media, but then I would go next door including all the necessary drivers for the A200.

    My question is if you are ready to send me the original recovery DVD.
    If the manuals could come this way too, it would be greatly appreciated, but as I said, this part I could not solve myself. This site Vista, I followed the route of the "recovery media order", but then I'm charged about 400 Rand (ex 30 Euro). I can understand this amount, if I want something special, but in this case, I'm just trying to keep your product, in their original state. This reflects just as positively about you, about me, so I don't think not that it would be totally unthinkable, if you would try actually stimulate Toshiba sales of notebooks to include all the official drivers. At the end of the day, the laptop will occur at full capacity, which reflects positively on the brand, but besides of that, it will also keep the laptop in your warranty service. Here it provides not only a positive reflection; It also prevents the negative reflection!

    It may seem as if "I talk on my street", as they say where I come from. However, I am not the only person who feels this way. HP provides for example, these discs free of charge for the first 2 years after purchase of the any of their laptops. I know with certainty, that very recently, I bought a notebook HP Compaq with a colleague (used on the internet), which came without any software. To my astonishment, my colleague has placed 1 phone call, without even be the first buyer of the laptop, after which he received a tracking number of the post services almost immediately! HP immediately showed the recovery media, without other requests. No payment, even not a questionnaire. So it turns out, they see a recovery outside the Standard warranty support. I guess for the same reasons as those that I just gave you.

    I really hope that you can provide them for free, or can I collect somewhere.

    Thanks in advance for getting back tome.

    Your really

    Adam

    Hi mate

    It is s user forum ;) I doubt someone Toshiba would read it

    In any case, the recovery disc can be ordered and you must pay for this record
    It s not for free and can not be downloaded

    I asked my PSA if it would be possible to upload this image, but they said that's not possible because of some rights of copy

    You can also use a MS Windows disc clean the Toshiba drivers needed are placed on the driver page

  • Satellite L500-19Z - recovery process is not complete properly?

    Trying to reinstall my system Windows 7 on a satellite L500-19Z. When I insert the recovery disk it ends and then restarts.

    When reboot it goes through the "system registry' and 'system settings' and then restarts. He said Athens 'set up for first use.
    Then it comes up with a white screen and the box saying "the finalization of installation - will take a few minutes" etc.

    However, after a while it just restarts and goes through the same sequence again - and again - and again etc.

    I can reboot into safe mode, but it will not make a system restore point.
    When I try to reboot normally it just goes back into the routine above.

    I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.

    > I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.
    This means that you have more for this model of laptop recovery disk?
    Did you use the right method?

    I'm not very well why the recovery procedure ends correctly, but it might be possible that your laptop s equipment is affected m.
    What was the purpose of a recovery? Something was wrong with the laptop?

  • Satellite L500 - 19 X: install Win7 - stuck on syswow64 loop won't work?

    I tried to reinstall Windows 7 on Satellite L500-19 x, but he will not - do whenever I have start computer laptop a white screen pops up saying "preparation for installation... may take a few minutes" but it never goes away... can exit from this screen by starting the Task Manager and hit escape a few times.

    When get as far as office things seem to be in order with the exception of the running Syswow64/sysprep/...access command prompt is denied on the continuous loop, there is also a window saying 'TUPIT 2' which seems to have failed because there isn't "requested registry access is not allowed" in front of it.

    Would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to solve this problem, because it is extremely frustrating and seems to be so close yet so far to be successful!

    Hello

    This message is very strange. Read on the internet about similar problems, but the questions were always related to registry problems.
    In most cases, the error message appeared trying to repair the Windows operating system.

    Have you tried to do a clean install?
    I think you need to format the HDD first before you try to install Windows 7.
    I hope that everything would be erased from the HARD disk before starting the installation of configuration

  • Satellite L500-164 - keyboard must change in English or Greek

    Hello

    I am a student in Germany now and I was thinking of buying the Satellite L500-164.
    The problem is, in all stores, you can buy it only with the German keyboard I completely hate.

    Is it possible to change it to an English (or Greek)?
    How much will it cost? How long will it take?
    I thought to buy directly from Toshiba, but they don't sell, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately send it to the service of change of keyboard?

    Y at - it stores that sell with English keyboard or can change on demand?

    Thank you very much

    > I thought to buy directly from Toshiba, but they don't sell, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately send it to the service of change of keyboard?
    Well, this will be a solution the other would be to buy a Satellite L500 to the United Kingdom to get a keyboard with English layout.

    You could try to order it from some online retailers. There are enough shops online that provides Toshiba laptops

    Hello
    I have a Satellite L500 running Win 7 64 bit. I have recently installed the latest windows updates and you've probably noticed that I can no longer select multiple items by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the left. This applies to files in Explorer, but also emails in outlook. When I try just hangs for a few seconds, but is unable to select multiple items. Someone else has encountered this or have any suggestions for healing?
