• How can I recover the Vista operating system?

  I have a tablet that is using Windows Vista. Hard to drive tablets erased clean with Vista. How can I recover the Vista operating system? I hope that I don't need to go out and buy a new OS, because the Tablet is worth only a few dollars and can be lower than the price of a new operating system.

  Hello

  Contact the manufacturer of the tablet on the way to reinstall the operating system.

  If it was a desktop computer or a laptop we could help you more.

  See you soon.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

  AHOY!

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

  It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

  However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

  * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

  I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

  + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

  And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

  (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

  I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
  A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

  With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
  If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
  On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

  Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
  > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
  I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

• 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?

It contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can restore the entire system every time.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to get the sound on the TV with VGA cable?

  Hello world

  I have a real problem connecting my Satellite Pro A300 to my Samsung HDTV.
  The video works fine - I used a VGA connection on the laptop and the TV.

  The problem I have is healthy.
  I want the sound either also come from the TV. I tried a jack of 3.5 m from the headphone jack of the laptop to a red and white connection RCA audio on the TV, but it doesn't seem to work.

  Does anyone have any ideas or advice?
  I need of additional drivers, etc., or do some settings need to be changed etc etc.

  Hello

  Normally, to use the 3.5 mm jack plug in the headphones, you need an adapter cable.
  At one end, it has a 3.5 mm jack and the other side to connect red and white audio RCA connections.
  Here is an example of what I mean:
  http://www.optimization-world.com/IMG/prod/3_5_mm_rca_audio.jpg

  I m using such an adapter without any problem. You n t need an additional driver, or something more. It's the same as if you were using a helmet. :)

  How to get Vista recovery Media to say things back to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Satellite Pro L40 - how to recover the system?

  Hello world

  My wife has a virus on his laptop computer. I think that it is the antivirus 2010. I can't access all the programs, and the recovery disk reads or that the virus has stopped working also the cd player. How can I re format the hard drive?

  Thanks in advance

  Rab

  Hi rab75,

  How have you used the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  I doubt that the virus has stopped working CD player. Maybe in Windows but if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk you will need to boot from the disc.

  So I put the disk in the CD/DVD drive and boot from this drive. Some files are loaded and you get the recovery disk screen where you can start this procedure. You must follow the instructions on the screen and a few clicks are needed to complete the installation of recovery. :)

  Check it!

  Why? It is almost never necessary. A good anti-virus program can almost
  always remove the infection. And often leads to problems with formatting
  as you have discovered. Even if you have no problems, it creates a lot
  work for you.

  so my original os is also lost in formatting.now im using, with windows 8 form, a service on the local computer, it is possible to recover my system to the scene when I bought it.

  If you have or can get a DVD installation or a recovery partition,
  Yes. Otherwise, no.

• Satellite Pro U300 - how to reinstall the system from original Vista operating?

  My Satellite U300 (bought in 2008) came with Vista and a fallback to option of XP pre-installed. I drove back to XP at the time. Now, end of support from Microsoft for XP, I would like to re - install the Vista operating system.
  I have the recovery disks, but there is a wizard to help the resettlement?

  Or is there a function to restore to original factory setting, which I guess would be Vista? (I backed up all my files where a clean install is required). Any help appreciated, thanks.

  I checked the specifications of the laptop and this laptop model was offered with Vista preinstalled and DVD recovery Windows XP Home edition. In General original recovery image can be installed with the recovery disk. You got laptop with Vista pre-installed (without the Vista recovery disk) allowing you to create the Vista recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  There is also the option of HARD drive recovery, but it works with the factory only settings. After installing WXP that this HARD drive option will not work more then now you Vista recovery DVDs. Unfortunately in your ad I didn't understand whether or not you have the Vista recovery disk.

  If so, just start your laptop and press F12. When the boot menu appears put Vista recovery disc into the optical disc drive, has chosen the CD/DVD on the list in the menu and press ENTER. ODD will start to read the recovery disc and all what you need to do is follow the menu on the screen.
