Satellite Pro A100 - no restore CD - can I use the key to Toshiba?

Hi all

I bought quite old friend Satellite Pro A100 laptop and lost windows XP Pro CD,
I have the product key.

Can I get Windows xp pro eng cd somewhere and install it on my laptop with my cd key?

Thanks for your help

Hello

The serial key you found at the bottom of the device belongs to the Windows OS preinstalled Toshiba and touches it s an OEM that will NOT work with the other disks in Windows XP.

This means that if you want to install Windows XP on this notebook then you buy the Toshiba recovery disc again the ASP in your country or you will take an original Microsoft Win XP disc and will use this disk and the key that belongs to this Win XP OS.

You have these two options.

    Hello
    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    Unfortunately, you cannot use the keys provided for Windows 8 for Windows 7. In any case, directly upgrade your installation from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The keys are specific to the Windows versions, editions and architectures. They cannot be used between.

  • Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

    People,
    I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
    It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

    I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
    That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
    He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

    I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

    I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

    Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
    Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

    Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
    But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
    However, nothing is impossible.

    What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

  • Satellite A100: To receive data can I use the remote port IrDA?

    Hello

    I have an A100 which has infrared, which is used for the remote control supplied with the laptop. I was wondering if this infrared receiver can be used for other devices (e.g.: mobile phone) other than the remote control.

    I checked the control panel and Device Manager and both have no infrared information, but I thought that it would be always necessary even for the remote control.

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that it s not possible to use the IrDA remote control window to receive files or data.
    I wonder how it should work if you don t have IrDA options in Control Panel.

    If this option is not available in the Control Panel, you cannot activate the IrDA and you can't assign a download or download the IrDA connection. So in my opinion you can't use it as a connection port.

    Unfortunately ;(

    But I found external solutions. If you want to use the IrDA, you can buy a USB IrDA key. I didn't test this device, but other people on the net have used it and it works.

  • Satellite A100: I am not able to use the keys FN - common module error

    HY,

    I have a toshiba satellite A100 series and I have a problem:
    I'm not able to use the fn functions (for example fn + f9 to turn off the touchpad or fn + f3 to the eve and so on...) and I got an error concerning "common module.

    A dialog box told me that the common module is closed...
    Someone knows this problem?

    I'm sorry for English...

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know why this error message and why the common modules stopped working, but to my knowledge, the common modules are needed to run and use the FN keys for example.

    So here is my advice;
    Go to Toshiba's European diver page, choose the common law modules, download, unzip, and reinstall it again!

    After restarting again the FN keys should work again.

    Best regards and good luck

  • Floppy disks to install Windows have a related key or can I use the key with any disk?

    Re Activation:

    I help people of disabnled. My blind customer has an OEM version completely crushed of XP and a damaged hard disk, so because there is no CD or the way to reinstall XP, I found an installation CD and, separately, a product code given to me by another disabled person who has dumped his computer and bought a new one. Each CD has its own code of tied product, or can they be separated like this?

    Also is it possible to check a product code to ensure that it is valid and available for use?

    Waddi

    I said yesterday a nearly identical request!

    The machine should have a COA sticker on it (assuming that it is a large manufacturer or pre-installed).

    The key is that the machine is 'owner' and must be valid.

    If the machine is one of the major manufacturers, you can buy recovery discs on their part for this machine, which will restore it to its original state.

    The disks do NOT have a key on them - any drive OEM System Builder for the same edition of XP (Home or Pro) should work well on this machine - but certainly, you will need to download the drivers for it if you get the recovery disks. (once - again see the site of the manufacturer for those)

  • If I buy the retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium can I use the key to product again if I have to reinstall?

    Original title: first installation

    purchase windows 7 Home premium full version IM on best buy and I want to know if something happens to my pc and I reinstall windows 7 again once that I have to use a new product key or can I still use the same serial number im dvd original buy next week?

    You can reinstall as many times as you like on the same PC. No need for a new product key.

    There is a slight chance after the 5th reinstall or significant physical changes, you may need to reactivate by phone:

    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

    Hello
    today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

    After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

    Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

    (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

    concerning

    Hello

    What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
    As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

    It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
    I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?

  • Satellite Pro A100 - I need some drivers

    Hello ladies and gentlemen, I would appreciate any help that you can offer to the prediciment I'm in that:

    I tried a reinstall on my Toshiba satellite pro A100 model girlfriend. PSAAPE-00H00KEN.

    The problem is I ve come across are the controller Ethernet is said it is unknown, and is the same for mass storage, PCI, Bus SM and the video and video controllers VGA device.
    So when my LAN cable connecting, it registers only as a 1394 connection and is of little use to me.

    The research I've done suggests that this is not uncommon and I tried the solutions proposed, but the exact model is not listed on the Toshiba site.
    Also I m leads to believe that the laptop could be an Asian model?

    Any help would be incredibly useful.

    See you soon!

    Have you checked Toshiba's European site?
    I checked and there I can find your Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE.
    Check too!
