Satellite Pro A120-185 - need Vista Recovery disk - never get a

Hello, my trusty Satellite Pro C: is completely filled, and so I would wipe and do complete a new installation of Windows.

It came with VISTA on it when I bought it several years ago.

It's a Satellite Pro A120-185 and the operating system only disk I got with it was just something to 'upgrade' disc of Vista.
I bought and paid for Windows Vista with the laptop, thus so I wouldn't have a license can I reinstall?

Please note that I am an advanced PC user, I'm not looking for ways to reduce the space that my household is good and I uninstalled everything I do not use or need.

I just want to be able to clean the laptop and reinstall Windows Vista... is it going to be possible? (I don't see why it shouldn't be because Vista came with the laptop!). Please tell me where I can get the windows disk since?

Hi dude

Read the other discussions on this topic even here in the forum.

You didn t get this disk because you create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
This was mentioned in the manual as well!

However, here you can order the recovery disk that you didn't create yourself.

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

    You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

    You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

    At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

    And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

    Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

    Browse your Hard Drive manufacturer's website, download software from here and test your hard drive for errors.

    See you soon.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - I need recovery disk

    Accidentally all trying to clear up my computer deleted user accounts and so XP has been totally screwed and wouldn't let me in, even the administrator account it says did not exist (which I think is impossible), so I gave up and did a hard drive erase computer that I was about to throw in the trash as a lost cause...

    SO, what I really need, is the disc of recovery for Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, I very foolishly went and lost (look around these forums, it seems I'm not the only one!).

    Anyway, the computer running Windows XP Professional and the laptop model number is: PSAC0E-006008EN

    VERY ANNOYINGLY TOSHIBA NO LONGER SUPPORT LAPTOP DISKS OR TO SELL FOR HER RECOVERY!

    Can anyone help or suggest where to get a recovery disc please? I tried Ebay and multiple searches on google but no assets came.

    Message was edited with a mug shot by: jonbad

    By the way, can someone please explain why Toshiba offer all the necessary drivers for the operating system if they do not provide you with the operating system itself - i.e., they give you a disk image which has already drivers preinstalled on it... Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, unless you had to find your own copy of windows XP, which probably won't be not work with the serial key Toshiba windows XP first and then try and download and install each driver? I do not.

    Hello

    I think that you have tried to order the recovery disk by using the online store of recovery site.
    You will not be able to order using this service, because the only Vista recovery disc could be ordered using this service.

    In your case, I would ask an ASP in your country for this disc.
    And notes; There are more FSA in your country as only.

    Then perhaps you should contact several service points.

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite A100-068 where Windows broke down. When I turn it on it says configuration update 3 of 3. After awhile it will restart and returns with the same message. It is not possible to boot into safe mode. (Same problem). I searched the net for a concludes but only found that I have to reinstall windows (Vista Home premeum). My problem is that I Don t equipped of a Medea. The PC came with windows pre-installed, and there was no partition of medea or recovery disk recovery.

    Is it possible to buy DVDs that will work with the OEM installation (in Danish) license, or I can get a toshiba restore disk or?

    Please help me out here.

    Hey,.

    Normally, you need to create this recovery disc yourself using pre-installed recovery disc creator, but I think that now it s too late because Windows doesn't start anymore.

    But you can order the CD here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If you can t order it, ask an authorized service provider. Alternative use a normal disc of Microsoft and the drivers of Toshiba page.

  • Need Vista recovery disk

    I have an old HP Pavilion a1000. I want to wipe the drive and make a donation to the computer. I have the product key of Windows Vista on the machine, but I need the recoverty Vista disk.

    Thanks for any help!

    The "HP Pavilion a1000" model name you provided is not a real model but rather a series of models. When you request assistance please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the computer in question.

    Honestly, you can just use the edition CD of Darik Boot-n-Nuke to erase the hard drive of your data and give it to charity, as is. Most charities have the option to install an operating system or "sell" boneless. HP recovery discs most likely won't be available at HP for your model, but you may be able to get them through third-party provider computer surgeons. You can also try the method below (even if is not a recovery Disc... it should install Windows Vista on the computer), Paul Tikkanen has stated in that thread Danah entited "Windows Vista recovery disc".

    "If you can still read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disc that should at least get an operating system reinstalled on your PC.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then the other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

    I'm looking to be able to rewrite the BIOS using a usb floppy drive or usb key that emulates a floppy drive.

    The problem is that I can not locate the file bios containing the bios Setup disk can anyone help?

  • Question about recovery for Satellite Pro A120-185

    I had a with the laptop recovery CD. I wonder if he has the operating system also (windows Vista) and I have the right to request a copy of the operating system?
    Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
    And how to restore to factory State with the combination of keys on keyboard to image on the hard drive? This also restores programs and everything too?

    Hello

    You bought the laptop with pre-installed Vista OS?
    If so, the recovery CD should contains the operating system Vista, all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities and additional software.

    > Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
    Yes, as I said above the Toshiba on the restore CD image contains everything; Operating system, drivers and programs.

    If you use the recovery for the reinstallation CD, you will set the laptop to factory settings.
    But beware, this procedure will format you whole HARD disk and will delete the existing partitions.

    If you want to install from the recovery CD, try to boot from this CD and follow the guide line. It is very easy.

  • Upgrade memory to the Satellite Pro A120-185 PSAC1E

    The original installed memory of 1 GB in my trusty old A120 is now become a bit of a factor limiting and I want to upgrade to the full 4 GB. I checked this site and it says that the memory runs at 533 MHz.

    However, looking at various other sites suggested that some varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - according to its region!

    Anyone knows which is the right speed?
    Obviously, I want to put a faster RAM in it when I update, but if we can't run it, I don't want to waste money I can't use memory especially.

    Thanks in advance.

    Tony

    Hello

    > However looking at various other sites given to think that some varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - according to its region!
    Depends on the FSB (front side bus)

    If the FSB would allow the 667 Mhz, then the modules of memory also would go to 667 Mhz. If the FSB supports only 533 Mhz then your modules will be run max 533 Mhz even though the modules support 667 Mhz.
    Simply said; the FSB can slow down the speed of the memory.
