• Slow start on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15B

  Hello

  I just bought Satellite U400-15B and am finding it takes very long to start Vista, I went into msconfig and disabled the things I don't use and stuff that I think is not necessary, but it is still having to wait ages before that I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed, so I don't think that the specifications of the laptop are a problem

  Is there something that can be done on this slow start, any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think slow start or laptop slow operations depend on good configuration of the OS. I played with this last month and I am now convinced that Vista starts and runs on my laptop.

• Satellite L500 did not Recovery Disc 2

  Hello

  I have just formatted my laptop using Recovery Disc 1. On the forums, it says after the disc 1, the menu won't ask you 2 Disc. But he never asked for disc 2. Should I have inserted just after that he asked me to eject the disc 1?
  I am writing now about my newly set up Win 7. Everything seems fine, but I wonder if the lack of CD 2 will cause no problem. Is it possible to start my laptop also using the second disc?

  Thank you!

  The second disc will be created only if the first disk space is not enough! If the amount of recovery disk depends on the size of the image file.
  If your laptop works, I won't be afraid on the 2nd disk missing :)

• Must be replaced to the right arrow for a Satellite U400-15B

  Anyone know where I can get a replacement key for a Satellite U400-15B right arrow?

  As far as I know you can't buy replacement for a single key.
  What you can try is to put cheap keyboard. I saw today new keyboard for Satellite A300 for only 15 euro.

  The replacement of keyboard is not so complicated and you can do it alone.

  You can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator!
  This tool must be preinstalled on your laptop if the laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.

  You can also try to restore the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.
  You must press the F8 key during switching on laptop and I then have to choose the option called fix my computer. Then new window should open, and you could choose the Toshiba recovery.

  If you cannot use the two procedures (disk recovery HARD and Toshibas recovery disk) then you can order the new CD from here:

• Satellite 1800-400: CD Rom is not working / can't use recovery discs

  Hello

  I have a satellite 1800-400. The cd present in Device Manager, but it does not recognize the cd is in the drive. I need to use the recovery cdsas the system was damaged virus etc. Is there a way I can work around the problem of cd player.

  Thank you

  Hugues.

  Hi Hugh,.

  When you try to start the laptop from the CD made in fact tru to access the CD-ROM or it directly boot from HARD drive?

  If the notebook is actually an attempt to boot from the CD but do not then it can mean that you CD-ROM is defective or that the recovery disc itself is damaged in some way.

• Satellite U400-15B screen is not bright, as it used to be

  Hello everyone

  I've had my U400-15B almost a year now and I noticed that the screen is not as bright as it used to be.
  The brightness level is at the maximum, but it seems a bit dull.

  Everyone has noticed this or is it just the LCD is not not very good?

  Hello

  > Brightness level is at the maximum, but it seems just a bit dull.
  So you're saying that you have already checked the FN + F7 key secret that increases the brightness of the screen?

  Well, maybe there's an FL inverter problem?
  The FL inverter is a small part that controls the brightness of the display.
  If this part starts bad run then you will see the screen as behind a thick fog.

  If it's a deal, then you should get in touch with a local service technician whu could replace this.

  PS; If you are running Windows 7, then you should go to Win 7 power management and need to check if the Win 7 didn t adjust the brightness of the display at the lower level in order to save the battery. Windows 7 supports a power saving mode that tries to save power

• Satellite L500-128 using recovery on the new (larger) HARD drive discs

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba L500-128, the original 320 GB hard drive is just too small and I would like to avoid buying an external hard drive (for backup purposes), because in my experience, they are just rubbish and I want that all my data on the laptop.

  I wanted to buy a new hard drive 1 tb (maybe 2) put into it, I guess it is equipped to deal with, (Please someone correct me if they know otherwise) with 4 GB of ram...

  In any case I am really wondered, whether or not I can get out with the help of my new hard disk recovery disks.
  If they did it the old-fashioned way (sending an OS disc and a disc of pilots) I wouldn't even question, but as I created disks of the computer itself, I wasn't too sure when I opened the drives upward to make sure all burned on them ok, I never saw something like what I expected.

  Also, I read somewhere that someone else has tried it and it didn't work, they assumed because the recovery included an image specifically to fit the original hard drive size?

  Can someone enlighten us all please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  Usually, you should receive a confirmation message that the recovery was created successfully.
  This means that you can use this disk to restore the laptop to factory settings is not serious what HARD drive is in use.
  This means that the recovery disc should work with the other drives.

  But note; This recovery disk using would format the HARD drive and remove all HARD drive partitions. But this should not bother you if you use the disk HARD vacuum ;)

• Satellite A505-S6005: creating recovery discs power calibration error

  Hello

  just bought a satellite A505-S6005 and try to create recovery discs.
  I am using Dynex DVD - R.

  He created the 1st disk after the slightest mistake 2 times and when I started the 2nd drive continued to get again the message that is OE01BS-26 error Code - 2 said A 037303 power calibration area error occurred, check the disk for dirt or scratches.

  The disks are not scratched, and after going through 5-6 discs wonder if something is wrong with the optical drive & not the disks.

  Any help appreciated.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think it's a problem with your DVD media
  You are using incompatible disks!

  Try different DVD from different manufacturers.
  I m using the Verbatim or TDK DVD-R and my CD/DVD drive handles these discs without problem.

  Check it! I'm sure this will help you!

• Satellite A300 - displays error recovery disc creator

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 (PSAGCE) and I created the recovery by using the "TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator' disc but I did this a few months ago, but now the disc is scratched, and when I am formatting my computer it gives me an error when loading files. So I decided to create another disc, using the "TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator', but she also give me an error with one of the files during the creation of the disc. What should I do now?

  Hello

  It is good that you posted a screenshot of the error, but perhaps you can translate it into English, it would be more useful.

  In any case, the disks that you use to create the recovery disk? I m using Verbatim DVD-R media. It worked perfectly for me and I can recommend this path.

  In addition, you can see the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

  Finally and above all, I doubt that for Satellite A200 recovery disk will work for you also. The models are different

• Satellite L350-17Z: Question recovery disc creation - problem with calibration

  I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

  So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

  Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

  Hi Snen,

  It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite L500-12 q. I used the Recovery Disc Creator to make recovery disks. It needs 4 discs. The 1st was writtenk ok, but on the second, towards the end of the current status, it stopped advancing. It's almost an hour, and it is still not finished. I'm on the second try. The disc is spinning and the drive makes noise as if it was written, but it does not advance at all.

  Please, could you help me?

  Thank you

  Claudiu Hey,.

  What kind of DVD that you use to create the Toshiba recovery disks? I got also some problems to create a recovery disc but I changed DVD + R, DVD-r media and everything was ok! I used Verbatim discs to create because I have really good experience with this kind of discs. In addition, it seems that TDK discs also work quite well. Check this box!

• Satellite M70 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hello

  I had to remove the drive HARD Toshiba Satellite M70 for use on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after you have 2 left and used with a Compaq laptop with no problems. Now, I had a new HARD drive for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.

  Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.

  I have the recovery DVD-ROM product. F12 abd selection cd/dvd would not recovery.
  Error loading operating system is the message I get.

  I can even install with my other XP pro original cd.

  Once I put the HARD return drive to Compaq its job very well, I can even install XP.

  What is the cause. Is that it has nothing to do with the MBR?
  I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!

  Thank you all,.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  In my opinion, the case is clear. If you install the laptop with a normal installation of Microsoft disk and the HARD disk works fine in another computer it something wrong with the Toshiba Recovery disk, maybe it s scratched.

  What you can do is to install the laptop using the disc of Microsoft. Then download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

  Alternative order you a new drive for recovery of an authorized service provider.

  It of your choice what you do. ;)
