Satellite P100: No CD Windows Vista but only the recovery CD

Hi, I recently bought a toshiba satellite P100, but it does not seem to have fitted with a disc of Windows Vista, only the preinstalled Vista.

The laptop works fine for now, but I'm a little worried that if something is wrong in the future, I will have no way to reinstall the OS.

The laptop came with a recovery disk, and I don't know if Vista is included on this?

If it isn't in any way I can make a copy of vista installed on my HARD drive?

Thank you

Hello

Don t worry, you don t need to make a copy of your HARD disk, since you already have a vista on your recovery media.

If you have problems with your system and you want to re - install, then backup all your data on an external, put the recovery in your CD/DVD drive, boot from it and then just 'recover' or 'reinstall' your system. The recovery process works automatically and you will have an installation "factory-like" after recovering from your machine.

Hope, I could explain it... ;)

Greetings

  • Satellite L300 freezes with Windows Vista

    I use the Satellite L300 laptop with Windows Vista.
    Once the connection is freezing, so I used to do Toshiba HDD recovery and formatted and installed with its recovery tools.

    Now its connect with normal mode.
    The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Again, I have to forcely, I need to start with safe mode and normal mode then again once I get the same problem.

    Can someone tell me the solution?

    > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

    I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

    Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.

  • I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

    The President complied,

    I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

    Hello ElumBuneri,

    As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

  • Satellite A300D - 14 p Windows Vista OTB for Windows XP

    Satellite A300D - 14 p Windows Vista OTB for Windows XP?
    Is it possible to install Windows XP on the satellite with no complications (bad drivers and other things). I hate Vista!
    I heard that some laptops require modding some files .ini to install Xp on vista.

    If you want to install Win XP on this laptop and want to use this OS instead of vista, then you should check out some threads here in the forum.

    There are several discussions on the installation of Win XP.

    Just a comment:
    The Satellite A300D - 14 p belongs to the series of PSAK8E and all the XP drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.

    1. call the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The entire cost is low and the money is well spent.
    The game allows you to restore your computer. Ask a manul on how to use the recovery discs.

    2. While the site of the computer manufacturer, ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your computer, Partition Recovery and utilization of the partition to restore your computer to factory State.

    3. see if you can find a friend who has a Microsoft Vista Installation DVD. Borrow it and reinstall Vista using your product key from the computer.

    If you had not reinstalled Vista, we helped you recover the product key of Vista for running old, Vista activated using specific programs.

    But, as you have wiped the hard and reinstall Vista, we will not help you recover the product key.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Original title: I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit).  Unable to get a backup to a flash drive.

    After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct.  I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).  When you try to do the backup on a 4 GB USB key I get an error including 0 x 81000029.  I have seen posted answers to this.  Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

    1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
    2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
    3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
    4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.

    You may receive error messages when you try to perform a backup operation on a Windows Vista-based computer

    Monastir,

    What happens when it stops it is have a Sata driver. It is on the drivers cd you received with your computer. You can also start the computer and press F2 to enter the bios. From there down to Configuration system - SATA Operation and change this to ATA. It is located to AHCI. Save the changes and restart the installation. Once you have loaded Windows and drivers installed, you will need to go back to AHCI.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
