• 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 - cannot create own recovery disks

  Have a portable Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista Business 32. After a HARD disk recovery partition recovery, I decided to use the PC function full system backup to make a picture for later retrieval with all my current settings. Too inconvenient for factory reset default (Thunderbird 3.0 Mail, Open Office and some other small applications already running no problem for years on another computer in the office).

  The system needs 5 to 9 DVD and he wrote the first DVD. Takes about 30 minutes. Then, during the audit of this disc, it crashes. Audit bar stops at about 30% complete.
  Anyone with this experience? No, the company "Complete PC Image" works well on an OEM of Vista installation?
  Or maybe it's the DVD player in need of an update? I do not use a 3rd party burning software.

  Hello

  What program you use to create your own recovery discs? For example, I mean Acronis, Norton Ghost, etc..

  In your case I would try with another program like Nero or CD Burner XP burning.
  In addition, you can try to remove upper and lower filters in the Windows registry, maybe that will work.

  Finally, and especially on the Toshiba site, you can check if there is an update to the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

• Satellite Pro U400-15I - wheel of sound not working after installing Windows 7

  The wheel of sound on my Satellite Pro U400 - 15l does nothing after the clean install of Windows 7 to XP pro.
  I used the recommended software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - but not under the control of the wheel! The Toshiba power control is not here, but this isn't a problem.

  Any suggestion is welcome.

• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

• Satellite Pro L670 - size of the Excessive recovery partition

  Hello

  New to this forum I have just bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite Pro L670, is great so far, but I have a question I'd like to solve.

  It has a 500 GB hard drive, which will be more than enough for some time yet, but I'm not satisfied with the way it is partitioned, usable space is divided into 232 C: and 232 GB D: that has the data folder HDDRecovery on it. Now, I know that I can still use the partiition for data, but I prefer to keep all my files in one place and the usual locations of Windows on the C: drive.

  What is the best way to recover all my hard drive space, Windows allows me to shrink the D. partition, but cannot extend the C: partition into free space created as the recovery folder is in the way. Thought copy output folder then recreate a smaller partiiton D: but he did not like me trying to move the folder either!

  ID of burn recovery DVDs can I safely delete the D: partition? I prefer to keep the disk but with a bigger drive C: is the highest priority!

  Congratulations to all

  Steve

  Hi scoobasteve,

  > What is the best way to recover all my hard drive space
  There is no better way. There are many options for the creation of new partitions because some people prefer a single partition, other people using a lot of partitions.

  Don t worry folder HDDrecovery!

  For example, I installed all my programs/games on the first partition C: where I installed Windows as well. This partition uses 50% of HARD drive space.
  Then I have a second partition D: with HARD drive recovery record. He s using the other 50% and on that, I've stored my files like photos, videos, music, documents, etc. No program, but all other files.

  In my opinion that s ok because I have to run HARD drive recovery, only the C: partition is removed. My important files are still on the D: partition after recovery of HARD drive. In addition, each week, I create a backup of all files on D: partition wait folder of HARD disk recovery. That's why I use Acronis True Image, it records the image on an external DRIVE connected via USB drive.

  Then why delete disk HARD recovery file?
  Of course, you can remove it but create the before recovery disk! After you delete the folder, you are not able to do this more!

• Satellite Pro S500-10F - cannot reinstall the operating system

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro S500-10F provided with Windows 7 Professional with downgrade rights (and DVD) to XP Pro. I downgraded to XP Pro and everything worked fine (I did it on a number of similar machines).

  Then Windows started to have problems and crashing with BSOD. I decided to rebuild the machine to reinstall Windows XP Pro from DVD supplied with the machine. The thing is it gets 2% and then gives the BSOD.

  I thought it was the hard drive because there was some disk errors when it removed and put it outside of another machine, so replaced. Still the same problem. I tried to connect external USB DVD drive and boot from that. He did indeed start the external drive but then for some reason, try to copy the files of its own DVD player. I tried to reinstall Windows 7 Pro of the DVD to the top together, I created, this failed. I tried to install Windows XP Pro since version box and have failed.

  At this stage do not know if DVD player or what. He tried to build start player flash, but even if the system seen as boot option, then tried to boot from the network?

  Any help much appreciated.
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest I put t think that it is what you can do. You have tested the recovery disk and a new HARD drive, but the same happens. So that would mean it's hardware related problem.

  TOSHIBA recovery disk contains an image pre-tested all drivers and tools. This means that you can still install Windows recovery disc and it will work. If it's not (like in your case) it something wrong with the hardware.

  If your laptop is still under warranty valid, you can bring it to a service provider allowed in your country and guys can fix this for free because of the guarantee. Get in touch with technicians and explain your problem, they will sort it out for you. ;)

• Satellite Pro S300 - 10-fc06-0002 error recovery disc

  I have a Satellite Pro S300 the recovery partition has long been eliminated and the computer was working fine until I opened an e-mail allegedly Fed Ex, ERROR!

  A got a malware virus really bad.

  So I bought a vista business recovery disk for my computer and wiped hard drive t.He. During the installation of Vista, I get a preinst5.swm missing on the first disc.

  After that I skipped the file I got an error of 10-fc06-0002 on the second disc and a cancellation of the installation.
  I looked online for this error and a lot of people have had the same problem. Nobody seems to know what to do.

  I installed Vista Home Premium from a disk recovery Dell with no problems, however, when I tried to change the product key to that on the computer I got the key was not good for the version of hp vista.

  So what to do.
  I think Toshiba made a good product, but the recovery disk, they sent me for $30 was bad.

  I thought that I could copy the disc on another computer and copy a good version of preinst5.swm and try to make a good recovery disk, but I don't have a lot of confidence in Toshiba software.

• Satellite Pro L300 - where to get the recovery DVDs

  Hello

  Can someone help me please.

  My satellite pro L300 laptop has crashed I have repaired.
  Unfortunately, I have no operating system such as Windows Vista recovery disk.

  I can't find how to get these discs on Toshibe website or to be honest, that these disks are correctly as.

  Any help would be appreciated...

  Hello

  The laptop supports recovery of HARD drive option. This means that you can reinstall the image of Toshiba without using the recovery DVD. You must boot up the laptop and press the F8 key. The advanced boot menu is displayed and there you choose the first option to fix my computer. Then choose recovery Toshiba (last option) and start the installation.

  After this installation, you can use the Toshiba pre-installed called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator to create an own recovery DVDs software of engraving

  But if you have formatted the HARD drive, the repair option won't work because the recovery folder has also been removed. In this case, you will not be abele to create clean restore DVD.

  But you can order it 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.

• 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?
