Satellite P300/05Y - how to restore Windows?

Hello

I would like to be able to restore my Toshiba Satellite P300/05Y PSPCCA-05Y01Y to factory default, but I deleted the partition when I went to Linux.

What are my options? Download a copy so that I can burn to a CD? I have the key.

Hi, IWB,.

If you deleted all partitions during the installation of Linux, you need the Toshiba recovery disc to restore the settings from the factory with Windows preinstalled and all the drivers and tools.
The key on the side of the can t be used with a Windows installation disc normal because it s an OEM key that doesn t normal work with the installation diskettes.

In any case, you should contact a service provider authorized in your country. Usually the guys should be able to order an original Toshiba recovery disc for you. :)

Alternative use a normal Microsoft Windows disc with the key that belongs to this disc. All the drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite A200-17O - how to restore Windows to the factory settings?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I did not need to backup all the files. I don't have the product recovery CD. When I press F8 and click on the "Repair" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click on the option to completely recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open a window telling me to back up my data, then theres a button 'OK', and when I click that, the window will simply close and return to the menu options. All I want is to return Vista to factory settings.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, normally you can restore your computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery option. Therefore, you must follow the instructions here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If it doesn't work, you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If your computer laptop didn t come with such a recovery disk you create yourself using recovery preinstalled creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?

    Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. I recommend the DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have a good experience with these brands.

    If you have any other questions, just after again! ;)

    You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have the Windows 7 DVD you can do however
    don't forget to completely backup your data off the drive, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you
    don't have Windows 7 disks, you can buy them in your machine to cheap system. If you don't like
    on existing programs then you can do a complete new installation - just select the format options
    which erases the entire disc (This erases all data as well).

    Some system manufacturers use Partitions of recovery as well as other methods to allow you to return
    Back to a completely new installation. So check with your system manufacturer to see what options
    you need to do - and certainly do - just a question of the process of the
    Manufacturer of the system put in place for you.

  • Satellite P300D-136 - how to restore the system?

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Satellite P300D-136 with Windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to restore the system. I've tried the way by clicking on the value 0 or F8 at startup, but it does not :-(

    The HDDRestore Partition is available...

    Best regards

    Andi

    As far as I know Satellite P300/P300D comes with Vista and not with Win7 for Win7 installation drive recovery HARD work not at all. You can install Vista, maybe, but certainly not Win7.

    Because of this, I assume that you have installed your own version of Win7. Can you confirm this?

    Is that HARD drive recovery facility (F8 > fix my computer) works with the installation of recovery only (out of the box).

  • Re: Satellite C660D-102 - how to copy Windows on DVD?

    Hello people. I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660D-102.

    The seller told me to copy Windows on DVD soon to open the laptop. Don't know where to take the Windows installation files. You have encountered this problem? How can I solve this problem.

    Hey,.

    I think that the seller meant to create the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. In the case where you can start t more Windows or the drive HARD must be replaced, you can use this disk to restore Windows with all the drivers and tools. With other words, you get factory settings back, the same settings as you bought the laptop so it of very useful and easy.

    You can create this disk if you start creative media recovery Toshiba which is preinstalled on your computer. According to the installation, you need certain blank DVD media. I recommend high-quality mediums, type: DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. They work well and others here can recommend them also.

    Last but not least, you should also read your user manual. It contains interesting information on this subject and other interesting things. It s also preinstalled on your laptop. :)

    But it s really great, the seller gave you an indication in this regard. If you check the other forum discussions you will read a lot others that they forget to create this disc and are not able to restore the factory settings if Windows could not start.

  • Satellite P300-22 how many DVD should I prepaire 4 creating recovery DVDs

    I'm french too, so don't be afraid of my mistakes 'no more! '

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P 300, and I want to create a recovery DVD.
    How many DVDs to 4.7 GB / by, if I prepaire for this creation?

    Thank you
    in fact, I have a Toshiba P300-22F,
    There is a hard drive failure, because I changed the C: partition size
    I have to restore the player to factory default state using the recovery DVD,
    but I don't create this DVD.

    One of my friends has a model Toshiba P300 - 1 5.
    so I try to create this DVD form his computer...

    Hello

    At first I want to give you advice on DVD, you must use. For a successful recovery creation DVD use DVD-R virgins. I created several media recovery on the models of different laptops, with DVD-R media always worked.

    On the market there are several portable Satellite and Satellite Pro P300 and image is not the same for each of them.
    Just for info:
    -Satellite P300-1GL I needed a blank media only, but
    -for Satellite Pro P300-149 I needed two of them

    So I think that you need one. When you start 'Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' and choose the media you want to use it, you will be informed how many of them do you need.

    Good bye

    Hello

    Why you have updated the firmware of your webcam? It's a not supported Toshiba update because it can t be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba. Where did you find?

    The problem is these updates happen on your own risk, and now you have destroyed your webcam. The firmware by default peut t be downloaded on the page of Toshiba.

    In your case you need professional assistance service authorized in your country. Maybe guys are able to reflash the original firmware so get in touch with the guys and ask for help.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite P300 (PSPC8E) - How to enable virtualization?

    Thus, it seems that while my Toshiba Satellite P300 - PSPC8E is quite capable of hardware assisted virtualization (the technology that powers windows xp mode 7) feature has been intentionally disabled in the bios (with no switch to turn it on). I checked for an update of the BIOS but the last (30/04/09) still does not support this feature. The machine is Vista Home Premium, when I bought, but upgraded to Windows 7 with the update program.

    Is that what I can do to activate this feature? Or I have to wait for Toshiba released a BIOS update?

    Hey Buddy,

    Virtualization is not available on all computers laptops because it s according to the material. The processor must support virtualization!

    So before you start a lengthy discussion, I recommend checking your CPU. Take a look at the official Intel page if it supports virtualization.

  • Satellite P300 - 271 - how to replace the keyboard?

    Hello
    I have a Satellite P300 - 271 and there are a few damaged keys. I bought a new keyboard for this laptop.

    Is there a caraa how do I replace the keyboard?

    Greets, Benjamin

    Hi Benjamin,

    As far as I know that these manuals are not for the public. Technicians certified for laptop only can download these manuals. You can download the normal user manual that came with your laptop.

    A friend told me to replace the keyboard to remove the keyboard first, support but it s fixed by screws on the underside. After that, you can remove the keyboard but be careful with the cable.

    Disassembly of the laptop is a little tricky. If you n t have experience with that you should ask a technician for laptop help.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - how to restore power management

    I'm running a little used by Satellite Pro A10 as a substitute for a sick office and trying to improve performance after the installation of some essential software.
    It seems you accidentally disable the Toshiba power management function - when I click the icon on the Toshiba Console there is no response.

    Power management seems to retain its previous setting, however, and I find myself with no control otherwise.

    Any advice on how to restore this function on the Console?

    You can also try to use the system restore utility to set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning!
    Maybe it will work
