Satellite P300 - 18 M; The clean installation of Vista Ultimate failed

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P300 - 18M. Now, I want to install Vista Ultimate on a totally clean system. The installation runs, but at the final stage (end), which takes about 2 hours, the screen becomes black with just the mouse showing pointer. I sometimes triep to leave from one day to the next day, she who does not help.
Anyone who has ever heard of this problem and knows how to solve? If all goes well...

Greetings.

Never heard of this issue, but it would be interesting to know if you can restore the laptop using the recovery disk Toshiba of origin.
It work?

By the way; Did you include the SATA drivers before starting the installation of Vista?

  • restoration of old files after the clean installation of Vista Windows__

    How can I restore old files after you perform a clean installation of Windows Vista

    If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

    You can try this program:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

    Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

  • Restore backup files after the new installation of Vista

    I recently had to replace my main hard drive as it has completely crashed and burned.  Fortunately, I thought, I had been diligently backing up to an external hard drive.   So after replaced by a fresh hard drive and a new installation of Vista, I thought I could just restore these files from backup... but no luck.  New Vista does not recognize the old Vista backup.  And it will allow me to migrate these files in any usable fashion.  Is it possible for me to get the new Vista installation to access these backups from the previous installation of Vista?

    Hi Allisonerik,

    (1) what happens when you try to restore?

    (2) you get an error message?

    (3) was it a file, or a backup system image?

    I want to clarify if your backup media (external hard drive) is recognizing in Windows.

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and then check to see if you can restore

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

    Method 2: Check your external hard drive to find errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • I have reset my laptop and I don't have the set up cd, I have the license key for vista ultimate can I download

    I have reset my laptop and I don't have the set up cd, I have the license key for vista ultimate can I download

    Hello

    "I reset my laptop."

    What do you mean by that?

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    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

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

  • Orb is blocked at the start of the system on my Vista Ultimate SP2.

    Original title: Orb

    Hello

    Orb is blocked at the start of the system on my Vista Ultimate SP2, even if the box is checked in the setup of the system. What could be the reason? And there at - it a danger by unlocking it? If this is not the case, how can I put it so that it hangs every time you start?

    Thank you

    Hello
     
    1. When you say its blocked, that you get any message or it does not appear at startup?
     
    2. don't you perform a normal startup or selective startup?
     
    I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.
     
    Step 1:
     
    This can be caused by your security software, I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the ORB is blocked.
     
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If it works, then give exception in Firewall setting for the program.
    Orb is a third-party application, and if trust you him, you can add as an exception.
    WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  • Satellite P300 - problems with the buttons of enlightenment

    First of all, I would like to apologize for my bad English, I'm French actually.

    Hi, I bought a laptop Satellite P300, a couple of days, and already I have a problem with tactile keys (one on top of the keyboard).

    Actually, the only one of the left, which is supposed to turn off the sound used to keep away the keys lights and Satellite logo. One day (and I don't know why), when I pressed her, she actually cut the sound. And now, the first two keys (mute and shortcut of windows media) do not work, but the other four (Media Player control).
    I tried Toshiba Assist, and the tool for the configuration of the pushbuttons (I don't know the English name of this tool) but I couldn't set the keys, they were not on the list "button name".

    So, does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

    I apologize again for my English.

    Hello

    I assume you are using Windows Vista because you bought the laptop a couple of days and so I think that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This package determines the buttons of the lighting that you mean and others (for example the FN keys too).

    The latest version, you can download the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    1. download the latest PPV on the Toshiba site
    2. go in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Find the Toshiba value added package and remove it
    3. restart the laptop
    4. download and install CCleaner. This cool cleans up the registry of Windows and system files. He should find some registry keys of Toshiba you should remove with CCleaner.
    5 reboot the laptop
    6. install the PPV that you already downloaded
    7 restart once again

  • Satellite P300-156 - and the button Return give the same values

    Hello

    I have a satellite P300-156, and it has a numeric keypad.
    I have problems because the Enter key and the Return key give the same values. I believe that it is incorrect.
    Can anyone help.

    Key on the numeric keypad should give an input it does.
    the Enter key on the main keyboard should give a carriage return value, but it gives an input value.

    Usually this does not cause a problem, but with software like photo shop that makes the distinction between a carriage return and a hard fall it does not work.

    Can someone help me please
