Satellite Pro A10 won't boot up - where to get the disks

I have a Satellite Pro A10 that currently does not start up Windows (XP) as it says

The following file is corrupted or damaged:
C:\windows\system32\config\system

Tools & Utilities CD that came with my laptop has unfortunately been scratched and will not start.
I have two system recovery disks, which are very good.

My questions:

1. is it possible to buy a replacement Tools & Utilities CD-Rom?
2. If Yes, where to go?
3. is there a way to restore my laptop without having to reinstall everything completely and lose all my files?

Thank you

With regard to the point;

(a) generally, it should be possible to order the CD of tools & utilities but I ask why?
(b) you can buy the CD of the ASP in your country
(c) the older recovery CD is supported by an expert mode. You can use this mode to choose the partition where the OS is to be installed. In this case only, this partition will be formatted.

But look, man. You do not need to order the CD tools & utilities because on this CD, you will only find the Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.

    Hello

    It is possible that the HARD disk you are using has bad sectors. You can check this with different tools. I can recommend HDD regenerator. You can also try PowerMax 4.23.

    Hello

    Why do you think the motherboard is ok?
    Maybe it s a controller keyboard problem
    Did you check if the cable is correctly connected?

    In my opinion if you are sure that the keyboard is ok 100% the problem to be attached to the motherboard because there is no other party that is placed between the keyboard and the mobo.

  • Satellite Pro L10 won't boot to the top

    I am a L10 for a friend, at the moment when the cd and turn it on, the snoring of fan upward, the disk hard led flashes several times climb the towers, but nothing beyond what is happening. The display shows life, no beeps comes off it is just here doing nothing with the power light on and whirring of the fan.

    Hello

    As you have described it of very difficult to say what's wrong.
    It seems like it might really be something wrong with the hardware because you can not see the home screen Toshiba at the beginning of the initialization.

    I put t don't know if this helps but try to remove the battery to form several times unplug and wait 30 min power (can t tell the time exactly) try to reinsert the battery and connect to the mains. Try to start again.

    If it doesn't help I guess you will need additional assistance of a technician.

  • Satellite Pro L850 won't boot F2, F12, C & 0 do not work

    My Satellite L850 race that Win7 does not start, after that power on it alternates between dark grey and light screen.

    I tried holding C and 0 when blood work or fact by pressing F2 or F12. No new software has been added recently. Please, any help appreciated, thanks.

    After reading your ad, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. He started from one moment to the other, or you did something that may be responsible for this?

    Are you sure display is not faulty?
    If possible try to connect your laptop to external monitor and start again to see if something pops up on this subject.
    Disconnect the power and remove the battery. Press the power button / stop for 20 seconds and leave it for a while. Only connect the power supply and try to start it again. Test it with external display.

    Maybe the BIOS is screwed up. Perhaps is troublemaker GPU. On this virtual path, we can only speculate what may be the problem.

    By the way: when you turn on your laptop doesn't it stay ON all the time?

  • Satellite A300-1LT won't boot up - white screen & no HARD disk activity

    I had a problem, the touch pad does not work.
    I found on the internet solution to stop computer, take out the battery, wait a bit and try again.
    That's when my problems start.

    When I put the battery back on, I turned on the laptop.
    White screen (nothing happens), led indicators are on (except for the hard disk), cd drive tries to read but nothing happens and the fan is running.
    I tried everything I could find (wait 30 minutes, take out, start without battery battery, etc.) but no luck.

    My lap top is Satellite A300-1lt, and I got 2 months.
    I don't want to take it to the service, unless it is really necessary, because I really need now, I can't wait for weeks until what he returned.

    Please can someone help me out, Im desperate...

    Thanks in advantage...

    Connect your laptop (with battery) to the power supply and leave an hour, try to restart your laptop. If portable starting again let it run until the battery will be fully recharged.

    I hope that it will work properly again. I had a similar problem with my Satellite A300-1LI, and I do this. Laptop now works perfectly with or without adapter.

    Hello

    The drivers for this laptop are on the European driver Toshiba page.
    This book belongs to a series of older and so you can find the drivers in the area of the ARCHIVE.

    Check this box:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> support download &-> download drivers

    Here, you have to choose:
    Archive-> Satellite Pro-> A-> Satellite Pro A10 Satellite Pro

    You can connect this laptop to the router using the LAN port.

    I m not very well if you'll be able to connect the laptop to the router using the WiFi because that card WLan was optional on this laptop and possibly there is no WLan card.

    If you want to check if the wireless card is installed, then you should check the device-> maps network manager
    LAN and WLan card must be registered.

  • Satellite Pro A10 battery won't hold a charge

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10. I used it for a few years on AC power only. I tried to use it on battery, but I don't have that about 5 minutes before switching to standby mode. She descends slowly from 100 percent to about 96 percent then powers. When I plug directly support I have only 3% of the power.

    I thought if I totaled the battery, so I bought a new, but the same thing happens.

    Do you think that my new battery is duff too?
    I am running the latest version of the bios (1.30).

  • Question about BIOS for Satellite Pro A10 files

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 and later yesterday, he won't, he past the TOSHIBA start screen and then black with a flashing cursor, it didn't leave me in advanced settings or the settings of the BIOS, a friend told me I need to Flash BIOS, I came across the site and found only a BIOS update and management told me to use the floppy drive , he said when I unzip the file I get an .exe file which I opened and it will give me three files, one for the CD ROM, one for the floppy drive and the third I don't remember, but it didn't happen, when I unzipped the files in a temporary folder, but I never had the files.

    I think I had to have it on my own laptop, and then it would be extracted properly, because my laptop does not work I can't do and even if I put the files on a disk, they are too big.

    Then...

    Where can I get the files from the BIOS that I can put on a floppy disk and then I can boot from that disk and it will fix the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    OK, follow these steps:

    Burn the file bios to CD on a CD, boot from it and update your bios. It's a simple and easy way. I Don t understand why it shouldn´t work, given that I ve updated my bios in the same way. I burned the image to CD and booted from this CD.

    Please answer perhaps you just made a mistake when you think to (I sometimes do too much, not often, but it happens..)  :)

  • Satellite Pro A10 HDD

    I have the Satellite Pro A10 C2.2GHz/XP Home/256 MB/20 GB/14TFT/DVD/WiFi. One day, the computer just froze and then resets and would not start again, and I kept getting the message:

    Hi John,.

    Unfortunately, it seems that if your HARD drive has crashed. The message of your BIOS is normally what you see if the PC cannot detect any bootable devices. Usually, it is a bootable HARD drive.

    Assuming you have the Toshiba Recovery CD you could try to restore your existing system to your HDD (it will automatically reformat the hard disk first), but you might find although it will simply fail restore due to the failure of the drive.

    Your next option is to replace the HARD drive. You can do it yourself very easily, or you may prefer to take the laptop to a Service Agent for them to do. Note that you still need to rebuild your system from the recovery CD according to your choice.

    Given that your device has a 20 GB HARD drive standard you could take this opportunity to install a larger capacity drive.

  • Satellite Pro A10 stops on specific opportunities

    Hello!

    I am owner of a satellite Pro A10 (PSA15E). It's hard drive stop working, the pc could not find. So I bought a new, a samsung with 160 GB, IDE, of course.

    Now when I was installing windows, in the part file copy, it just stopped. When I boot it says initialization file fails, then I guess it stops when it was to transfer this important part.

    If I run the cd again, it does not format or reinstall/repair request, it loads only some files and try to start windows and then stops.

    Now, this is where the tricky part comes in: the power led in turn, then again very fast when it stops. I do not use the battery (it is already dead too), and I use an universal AC, a give, 70W adapter. I tried formatting via a LiveCD Ubuntu, with no luck, because when I choose "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" it stops a little as he thought, and then when he is about to leave the menu and do something, it stops in place.

    My only guess, is that this laptop doesn't want me more :(

    I could really use some help, I just spent some 50 on a HARD drive for him and he is the only laptop that I have. I don't think that it is a question of temperature because it stops just at specific times, on some specific choices. If I just let it hang there in the menu (the Ubuntu live CD one) it is not closed. Only when I want him to go further.

    Any help/response is greatly appreciated, and if I take a little too much time to respond is because I don't have access to internet at work now.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Theoretically, this could be an overheating problem as Akuma wrote. Therefore, you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and can improve the cooling of the laptop.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you run Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility this work?
