• Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

  Hello
  I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
  I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
  The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

  I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
  There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

  Any help appreciated,
  Thank you
  Mick

  Hello

  You have preinstalled software Toshiba TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator?

  Please check this box.
  Using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator you can create the recovery disk.

  But if your laptop was already pre-installed with Windows XP and then a Recovery CD or DVD must be included.

  Have you checked all of the items in the box?

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.

• Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
  Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
  I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

  OH DEAR what a big mistake.

  Now the netbook won't start windows.
  So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
  Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

  Hello

  I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
  It's because of the SATA controller.
  You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

  So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

  -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
  Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - black screen boot failure

  My three days old Satellite Pro A300 began yesterday to hang at startup in Vista. I rebooted twice with good result, but now I see only the home Toshiba screen, then it goes black with a cursor top left. I won't answer on /F12/ F8 F2 or the recovery of the DVD. Indicator LED disc is black, fan-only sound. I have connected not no matter what external monitor ever on this one.

  At the moment so it's Sunday I chose the battery and will try again in an hour or two, otherwise I contact seller tomorrow. Any ideas what's happening? BIOS crash, hard drive (after three days)?

• Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - cannot start the cam software

  I bought the Satellite Pro A300-1E7.
  Webcam does not work in MSN messenger video call.
  Will have problems similar to the previous posting, except that I use Zonealarm.

  I think that Zonealarm has disputed cec_main.exe in a similar way.
  I tried to follow the instructions here, but without much success.
  I removed the Camera Assistant SOftware and re-installed the driver but does not seem to have improved things.
  Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  I used the Zonealarm happened and I was not really satisfied, because this software locked everything and most of the applications didn't work properly even after the new configuration! Finally, I removed this software and I noticed more advantage. my laptop starts much faster!
  I think this software would lock the cam software too.

  > Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.
  This means that the software has been removed and is not installed correctly.
  But to be sure, check in Control Panel-> Software (Add & Remove Programs) if the webcam is installed.

  I have the internal cam of Chicony too and it s works well as part of the software Skype. I didn't test t MSN but I don t see serious reasons why it shouldn't t work.

  In my view, you must first remove the zonealarm. Then clean the OS using CCleaner. Finally, redownload the webcam software and reinstall it!

  The toolbar of the webcam is not always visible on the desktop.
  It seems that if you move it the mouse cursor to the place where the webcam tool bar was hidden.

  I recently got laptop my niece out of it to get it repaired (it is not very computer) she has been surfing the web with (DO NOT LAUGH) NO active firewall or an antivirus running program to protect its system other than Windows Vista Defender.

  The machine starts by searching for problems if I run the startup repair program and continually searches for problems of difficulty ever be able to fix whatever it is actually or continue to boot windows just sits there with problems search screen.

  I suspect that she got some kind of virus that has completely corrupted the hard drive because I can't launch the disk recovery program HARD or even enter a safe mode or last known start and basically, I need to know where I can order a set of recovery media for his computer laptop can anyone help please?

  ThanX PEA.

  Hello

  > I can not start the disk recovery program HARD or even enter a safe mode or last known start
  This means that you must reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Satellite Pro L330 can't you hear L300? L300-FK seems to be a European model, and that's why you can order a recovery disc here:

  The Toshiba recovery disc can t be downloaded. If you want a new drive, you must contact an authorized service provider. Maybe they can order a new one for you.

  Alternative you take Microsoft Windows disk and install the operating system for this disk. After that, you can download all the drivers and tools on the Toshiba site. It takes a little longer and it s not so uncomfortable.

  I think you need to install the proper drivers because the other recovery disk contains bad drivers. Simply visit the Web from Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Also Toshiba you can t get a recovery disk. You will need to contact an authorized service provider.

• Satellite Pro A200 - new ODD ignors the recovery disk

  Hello

  _Satellite pro A200-PSAE4E Windows XP_

  I started having bad 'not ready' system on the STRANGE original errors. Report of Toshiba Disc Creator: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H TO01. I tried the FW update, but that did not help.

  I replaced the STRANGE with a new Amazon. Report of Toshiba Disc Creator: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H SC04. The STRANGE news is listed as appropriate in the manual - it is the same model as the original. The STRANGE new works fine for normal use in XP. But when I try to use the recovery disk, it is ignored and XP always starts on the HARD drive. And when I press F12 during startup, the STRANGE news is not listed.

  Can you help me get the STRANGE recognized at boot time, please?

  Thank you.

  Mike

  Hello

  Have you ever tried to load the settings by default in the BIOS and is it recognized in the BIOS setup? The default values of the BIOS, you can load if you go into the BIOS, press the F9 key and save & exit the BIOS Setup. Then, restart the computer and try again to start from ODD.
  Can you change the boot order and set the STRANGE as first boot device?

  If it doesn t help I'll try a BIOS update. The most recent BIOS can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba.

  But it s really strange the player works fine on XP, but you can start with him t

• Satellite L500 - 19 X - cannot use the recovery disk

  Well I had this phone two days ago and he used once after installing fire fox and my mobile to wide band of the driver and going to start and find it of going to happen.

  I tried SafeMode (three) and repair and all I got was a screen black with the cursor upward where it should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disc supplied with the notebook) so anyway, after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to fix it, I tried to install , but of course, this does not work, or so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and has perfectly worked, then I updated (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problem, so I tried again with the original windows 7 comes pre-installed on the hard drive on the laptop and everything went find until she starts the installation of the driver or updates (I not 100% sure on this but it or after the installation of face recognition.

  Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

  Now, I was told it could be the registry or there is a problem of graphics, I get pretty tired of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.

  So if there is anyone who knows of what is wrong or what to do or whether it should be returned to fix, which will be very useful.

  I thank everyone in advance.

  Happy new year :)

  Hello

  Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

  At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

  In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

  Good bye

  If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
  You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

  For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
  If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).
