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!
(I hope that is read by an employee of Toshiba!).

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

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.

Welcome them

    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.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

    Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

    It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

    FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
    I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
    I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
    I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
    I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
    I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
    I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you.

    Hi Lapitup,

    Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

    If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

    In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - drivers need for ethernet and network

    I rebulit a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E) with XP pro and I'm having a hard time finding drivers for the * Ethernet controller * and * network controller *.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - 135 no recovery disk, need to restore

    Hello

    We have a Satellite Pro L10-135: Intel with Windows XP.

    The laptop is a few years old and is full of spyware, my partner has also accidentally deleted some program files. I have removed all personal files and would like to completely reformat the unit as long as the plant.

    But she lost the recovery CD. I tried to get them at Toshiba, but when I enter the serial number it says that its too old and the drive is not available. I also tried to find the Toshiba recovery disc creator, but on the menu start, is found instead it says Start > all programs > Toshiba > Networking or start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities.

    I need the process to be fool-proof, because I'm not too confident with computers, so I would get a real restoration of Toshiba, rather than who to download drivers, etc..

    Anyone know where I could buy or download the disc in the United Kingdom?

    Thank you very much.

    It is always an issue with the old models of laptops, but what you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and ask for help.
    Maybe they have archived somewhere old recovery disc and can help you with this.

    One last thing: very often, I see people offer on eBay recovery disks.
    Check it out. Maybe you will be lucky and find the recovery for your model of laptop disk there.

All the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

    Recovery image is not available for download. You can try to contact the service authorized in your country. Maybe they can order a recovery media for you.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120: cannot select an option on the recovery disk

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which has recently been faced with the "alert: System protection failure! "password:" problem that it turned up on some BIOS password unknown on its own in the middle of normal operation.

    I got that fixed local Toshiba ASP.
    But now, when I was about to reinstall the Windows cos she had slow, the possibility that the recovery media normally give to just format the first partition become invalid.

    In the settings dialog box, the option is always there but it cannot be selected by clicking on it (from the color of the background showing this option not valid currently)... which means that the only selection (selected by default) is format all of the 38 GB... I don't want to do.

    Someone knows what is wrong and how can I solve this problem.

    I assume that you are using Windows XP and the restore CD also contains the XP operating system.
    It s also interesting if this option has worked in the past?  :|

    However, it s really mysterious that the solution cannot be executed and unfortunately I do not know why it happened

    In the worst case, you'll have to back up data from the HARD drive and format the whole HARD drive :(

  • Need drivers for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello

    I got my sisters laptop (Satellite PRO A120 model PSAC1E) and because it was full of girly garbage I ve put the xp pro disc to and start again.
    Now, the problem is that there are a lot of exclamation points in my device manager. I guess the disc that came with the laptop would have sorted it, but it disappeared.
    Rather than going through downloads driver one at a time and hoping that I get what I want (some seem not to be there anyway), is there a place I can download the boot disk arrangement... the Device Manager indicates that these don t have drivers...

    Ethernet controller
    bus modem device high definition audio
    network controller
    USB controller
    unknown device
    video controller
    video controller (vga compatible)

    I'm on another pc at the moment and can download on a disc, and then put it in the laptop.
    Any help would be greatly received

    Thanks in advance
    ADE

    You can order a new disc of recovery at an authorized service provider if have lost the recovery disk that came with the noteboook.
    Just ask the registered maintainer the closest that you can find on the Toshiba site and talk with them. I think that people will try to help you. ;)

    Of course, you can install Windows XP on the laptop without recovery disk Toshiba, but it takes more time than the recovery disk. You need to download and install each driver and tool that you can find on the Toshiba site.

    In your case I print the suggested installation instructions Feliks document. Then you can walk through each driver or tool that you have already installed and you can t forget something.

    Good luck and if you have any other questions feel free! :)

  • Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
    The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

    A lot, I searched but found nothing.
    The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

    THX in advance,
    John

    Hello

    First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
    Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

    I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
    So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

    By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)
