• Cannot start WXP installed on my Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  I just got a Satellite Pro A60 of second hand. He had installed xp pro, but I did have no password. , so I formatted the drive and made two partitions. There are 30 GB and the other approximately 7 GB.

  I tried to install a WXP Pro copy that has worked for me before, but he would not complete the installation. Now, I have a Toshiba Recovery disk. When I use the recovery CD, the installation goes fine, but when its full and restarts, the laptop does not start in Windows.

  He comes to Toshiba screen twice then WXP logo appears for a moment about 10 seconds or more, then go back to the f8 screen. Last time, he said it could be due to a hardware change with these lists of 'safe mode' options, safe mode with command prompt mode implementation network, security, last known good configuration. I tried all the but still cannot boot into windows.

  The hard drive has the files I used l-soft active@killdisk unerasor tools, change password and partition Viewer, I could see the file system of windows etc. Laptop has 512 MB RAM, 40 GB drive HARD, Celeron.

  I just updated the bios to V1.90 by CD-ROM. Please can someone help me?
  Thank you

  Hello

  You have installed the operating system from the recovery CD Toshiba but have you used the original Toshiba comes with this laptop recovery CD?

  The BSOD appears mainly due to hardware failure or the software flaw serious
  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains all the drivers needed and tools, but if you use a recovery CD badly the pre-installed drivers can cause the error and BSOD could appears.

  However if some hardware like the memory module or the graphics card is damaged the BSOD are included also.

• Satellite Pro A60-832: sometimes the OS starts without sound and modem

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite Pro A60-832. Everything works perfectly, but sometimes my system starts without sound. When this happends, modem also does not work. After reboot, everything works well again. I integrate Windows XP Pro SP2, but the same thing was happening with the original Windows XP Pro SP1 provided in the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Any ideas?

  Sorry for my bad English.

  As mentioned, a high temperature might be responsible for these drop-outs, but I n t think that there is a problem in your case.
  I think that the temperature cannot be very high immediately after the start of the laptop.

  In case I would recommend comparing the BIOS installed on the unit you with available on the Toshiba page BIOS.
  If there is a new version of the BIOS so you can try to update.
  But be sure you use the good BIOS and the proper procedure.

• During BIOS update by Satellite Pro A60 went down and did not start

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I've updated the bios. To halfway the update, my laptop came down and started Hasna´t since. It only give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is damaged, I guess) and turns off again.

  Tried to start with (~) key pressed (a tip I received from a friend), but without success.

  I live in a country where there is no available Toshiba dealer and I rather not ship the laptop for repair.

  Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  This doesn't sound good.
  If during the POST, the BIOS detects a problem, it will normally display an error message visual on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before it initializes BIOS video card or a video card is not present or not detected then BIOS will play through the Speaker beeps to let you know there is a problem.
  Depending on the type of BIOS you have the BIOS can play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or emits the signal even a few times indicating the problem.

  In your case, it is possible to s you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
  To avoid such damage and mistakes, Toshiba published FAQ document.
  How to upgrade the BIOS on most of the units!

  That you should read before making updates to the BIOS!
  Unfortunately, I n t think that you can fix yourself. I think you should ask to help ASP.

• How to reformat my Satellite Pro A60

  Hello world.

  I have a very old laptop (Satellite Pro A60) and have just started to use again (will have to buy a new one soon), but this 'thing' is incredibly slow. I want to just reformat the drive, but I am at a loss how to do. It was in fact the portable parents first if I do not have the original XP disc.

  How can I do this? Any help will be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  If you wish to format HDD books, then you will need to use an operating system.

  Usually, the laptop came with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  This recovery CD contains the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.

  You must simply boot from this CD (recovery CD) or Microsoft Windows CD and the operating system install.

  That s it!

• Satellite Pro A60-138 PSA65E - cannot boot from c WEIRD

  Hello
  I bought this laptop on ebay, with no cd or manual.

  Satellite Pro A60 GR
  MODEL PSA65E-01K032GR NUMBER

  Hard drive is formatted.
  I tried to install xp, because I start the laptop it just says: "control system.
  Then press [F1]. "If I press F1, it tries to read the cd and gives up after a few seconds.

  If there is no cd in the cd drive there simply nothing.
  I tried to start the bios menu but everything works,(F12,F8,del) key.

  Is there something I can do?
  installing drivers or anything like that?

  Hello

  In order to access the BIOS please press F2, then ESC.
  This should load the BIOS and you can change the boot order there.

  In addition, you can press F12 at the beginning.
  This will allow the menu on the screen where you can choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

  But are you able to boot from another CD?
  The CD/DVD drive is unable to read the disc, and therefore the boot process fails

  You could also burn this disc Win XP on another CD and could use the new disk to the start I did with my old laptop because the CD/DVD drive didn't read the old CD.

  Hi Barry,.

  I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

  The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

  There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

  Hello

  Why you need to update the BIOS?
  I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

  Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

• Satellite Pro A60: Blue error screen

  I got my satellite pro A60 laptop for about 6 months and, recently, a blue screen started flashing up to white writing scrolling down really fast and then the laptop restarts. I don't have the time to read what says the writing of this article. Can someone give me advice on what this could be and how to solve the problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Go to system in Control Panel. Then the Advanced tab. In the announcement of the Startup Recovery section press set button. You need to disable the option automatically reboot.
  But it of very difficult to understand the error blue screen for ordinary users.

• Satellite Pro A60: How to change the size of the AGP aperture?

  Hi people!

  I recently bought a laptop Satellite Pro A60 series.

  I also had an upgrade to 512 MB RAM module for it.

  Since then a few games that I try to launch slow area. (it wasn't before) I have increased the Frame Buffer, but wish to increase the AGP Aperture Size as well, but there is no option for this in the BIOS?

  Is there a fix that solves it?

  Hello

  Well, you said that the games run a bit slowly after upgrade memory.
  In this case, I guess that the graphics card is not really the problem.
  As far as I know if memory modules are not similar system could runs unstable.
  In addition, after the upgrade, you should try to install this new programs (games).

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro A60 - recovery question

  I tried to do a cover of product on a satellite pro A60

  I put in discs 1 and 2 according to the instructions and everything seems to work ok.
  Then tells me to remove the recovery media and restart the computer using ctrl alt del

  It restarts and goes through toshiba screen and on the screen of windows xp... then a blue screen that says please wait while windows prepares to start... then on windows xp with a saying of hourglass professional screen, please wait. Nothing else happens.

  It does nothing else, we left it for 3 hours today and it didn't go past this screen.

  Everyone knows it or can give me some tips on how to make the laptop still works?

  I installed windows and the Toshiba Recovery many times and I didn't noticed this problem on any of my books.
  I remember that once my Windows installation operating system has failed. I put t know why
  But I just formatted my HARD disk, erase all partitions and started the installation again! The procedure is completed successfully and portable started in the Win XP operating system.

  You must understand you problem could be linked to the software only or the operation of the equipment (HARD drive?)

  One question; have you used the recovery CD Toshiba compatible? I read repeatedly on similar problems, and finally the wrong recovery CD was the reason for start-up/installation problems.

  Make sure that sue you the good CD and then I would recommend repeat the installation of the OS.

  Good bye
