Tecra A9 - F key which activates the restore disc?

I need a reinstallation of Vista on my Toshiba Tecra A9 and I made one before, but forgot which key F active restore disks.

I tried all, but don't see anything that I recognize. For example, I found the BIOS, and I see under F8 'restore your computer' and Modus without danger, but not choice either for formatting and installation by CD-ROM.

Hello!

Please wait a moment: you have already reinstalled Vista but now you want to do a fresh install again?
And what drive did you use to reinstall Vista?

If you created the recovery disc Toshiba you only have to boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. Then you come back to factory settings.
But you can also restore factory settings if you use HARD drive recovery option, but this is only available if the original Toshiba Vista is still installed. So if you have installed Vista using a disc of Microsoft you can t use this option.
Normally, you can start recovery disc option HARD on European laptops if you go into the advanced boot menu if you press F8, and then select Repair my computer. Then, it takes time and a new screen appears where you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option.

Moreover, what Tecra A9 you have exactly? What is the code of PTSxxx on the lower side?

Good bye

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    See which way suits you.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • When I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    I bought a desktop lenovo Lenovo online - usa around 15/02/2015. the machine came with windows 7 pro. installed through windows downgrade rights 8 pro.

    but perhaps, I do not open/use the machine until 30/03/2015. After that, I have updated the system by installing updates provided/offered by windows updates.

    around 04/03/2015, when I open the computer properties, down to the title of the windows activation, there was this message "remaning 2 days to activate windows.» Activate now»

    When I click on activate now. Another dialogue box opens, indicating that the product key entered by me is not valid.

    I called mirosoft support, but perhaps, they refused to help me because I don't have the product key. (as long as no key is provided to me by lenovo, but only 8 pro windows recovery media.)

    I called lenovo support, but perhaps they also did not help me, according to them, it was a software problem, that only microsoft could solve.

    now, I had another death system (samsung) with windows 7 pro, so I used this product key to activate my windows on lenovo.

    My quiries are:

    1. what happens if God for bid, I want to restore my system to its factory state using the recovery partition or recovery media created by me, using backup and restore of lenovo.

    1. What is the status of my windows?

    1 b. Will he ask again the activation key?

    2. as I have downgrade rights to windows 8 pro, it is said that the product key is built-in on the motherboard. now when I used another key to activate the windows, what the key embedded on the motherboard.

    3. What is the best possible solution to this question, while I keep the original oem windows?

    is not - and never has been - responsibility of MS to pre-installed Windows help, a large part of the price of Windows is the support costs. Manufacturer have always had the responsibility to provide software support for the warranty period. Most interprets this as giving instructions on how to use the recovery media :(

    Yes, by using the recovery media should give your system its true status.  It will delete all data and programs, so go back to external media first!

    correctly

    but the creation of restore disks is a time

    burning and good for making copies

    know that the rest is bad too

    but once you get the restore disc sent to

    make you a copy for insurance

    and you mine to give a scenario

    My cat scratched the OS disk and

    to reinstall was unnecessary and

    has no luck with it, but now with these

  • Can not activate the restore Windows Pro CD to reinstall

    I'm trying to fix a friends computer. It's an Enpower AMD Athlon 64 3200 + 2.01 GHZ, 1 GB RAM, Windows OEM Pro. The hard drive crashed, and they lost all their data. I replaced the HARD drive and am now in the process of re - install the restore CD of Win Pro comes with the computer. Unfortunately, the key ProductID (OCA) outside of the case has partially torn. How can I return this product key?

    I searched through these forums and found a key in the UNATTEND file. File TXT on the CD, but it won't accept it. I also tried suggestion of forums in order to preserve the OEM key and failed also, are there other options to get this key without having to purchase another license?

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.  If the torn label had been noticed before the HD crashed, the existing product key could have been found using a program like Belarc Advisor or the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.  However, with the death of HD, it is too late for that now.

  • Can I use a legitimate DVD Win7 product key to activate the operating system already installed?

    I used a DVD Windows 7 Home Premium I bought from Amazon to install on 2 computers, THEN discovered the 2nd computer would not accept the product key.  I don't want to reinstall the OS and I can't seem to find a place online legitimately sell just a product key, so if I buy another DVD on Amazon, the product key that comes with it will allow the existing installation to activate, or do I have to spend a day or more to reload the operating system, drivers, programs, settings etc, just to stinking activation?

    This information is partially incorrect. OEM System Builder licenses come with a product key.

    Yes, it does not require a clean install, but because you already have Windows 7 Home Premium installed to use your retail disk, all you have to do is to change the product key, no installation required.

  • Tecra S3: Driver needed to activate the resolution to 1680 x 1050 on external monitor

    I am looking for a driver for Windows XP that supports an external monitor to 1680 x 1050 on a Tecra S3.
    So far with the Toshiba drivers I can only use 1440 x 900.
    The monitor can be detected through its resolution.

    Is it possible to use two different external monitors?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    1. There is no official driver of Toshiba or Nvidia with this resolution.
    I tested the driver 165.01 http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers with the external resolution 1680 x 1050 and it works very well.
    Download the driver and updated the inf file.

    2. even if you are using the docker, there is no way to use two external monitors connected VGA and DVI simultaneously. This is not supported.
    Only of external solutions with a separate adapter grafics provide (for example Toshiba Dynadock, a usb solution). But from my point of view, all are not very satisfactory.

  • Key to activate the USB on Satellite M70 boot sequence

    I have a Satellite M70 with Bootable USB connected on a USB key.

    "After cold start if I press F2 to select the boot sequence, a" + "sign near the HARD drive may be developed (such as a directory in explorer.exe) HDD / USBdevice by pressing the"Ctrl + Enter"."

    Then you can choose the HARD drive or USB key to start.
    But if I press F12, I had the same pattern as before (+ HDD) but 'Enter' or 'Ctrl + Enter '.

    My question:

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Usually, if you use the F12 key to start up you can use up and down arrows to choose the right device and if you press ENTER the boot device will start.

    In your case it doesn't start t because you cannot use USB to start but the floppy USB drive.
