The upgrade of OS for Win 7 on Satellite Pro A210-1AZ

We have two machines that also work well on Vista 32 and we have increased the RAM on both.
They are very slow and all two defective CD/DVD players.
I want to solve the problem of the speed and would like to know if the upgrade to Windows 7 64 would make the machine run better.
All of the software and devices that we use are compatible.

I read the advice on the Web from Toshiba site on how to upgrade, but it lacks a lot of information.
For example how to deal with the HD partitions. There is the boot partition and the stupid E drive parition.
This is one aspect of these PC that has always annoyed me. Why split the drive C and E, it must be just C.
For example all Toshiba on the PC, things software applications for CD/DVD etc.?

If someone has done one of these jobs,

Replaced the CD/DVD drive - I can just adapt any drive or is there a special unit of Toshiba?

Replaced the hard - what type, size and the connection? Can I just buy any player? How do you get home? I was planning to take the old drive and put a new and install Win 7 on who - saves all them messing around with the update.

Has anyone tried Linux?

> For example how to deal with the HD partitions? There is the boot partition and the partition of drive E stupid.
I think that it of better to have two or more partitions only on the partition.
First of all, you can install the operating system (Win 7) on the C partition and other files like photos, movies, etc. can be stored on the second partition. Usually the operating system will ask you where you want to install the operating system. You can point to the C partition, only this partition should be formatted.
This means that not disappear your files on the second partition of HARD drive.
It is one of the benefits if you have more than one partition.

> How to make all software Toshiba on the PC, applications for CD/DVD etc. things for example?
Toshiba software can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.
If you need drivers, then you should take a look here
If some drivers Win 7 would be missing, then you should look for in other models of laptops from Toshiba for a driver and tools. In many cases, the drivers of the other models would be compatible. In the worst case, you will need to search for and collect the drivers of your own hands using google.

> Replaced the CD/DVD drive - I can just adapt any drive or is there a special unit of Toshiba?
No, you must use a compatible; This CD/DVD drive can be ordered from Toshiba ASP.

> Replaced the hard - what type, size and the connection? Can I just buy any player? How do you get home?
You must use a SATA 2.5 HARD disk! SATA has no size limit, you should be able to use also 500 GB 2.5 SATA HDD.

  • Recovery process for Win 7 on Satellite Pro T110 is very fragile - WARNING

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro T110 with Windows 7 Professional and was very surprised of the fragility of the system recovery process was:

    (1) there is no DVD media with recovery of Windows 7.
    (2) during the installation process, you MUST follow all the standard options (no additional partitions) If you want to be able to use the hard disk recovery partition every time.
    (3) third-party imaging solution to take a snapshot of the disk, using a partition is a pointless exercise - you will probably not be able to recover to a State where it can be used.

    Personally, I think that must be a big red piece of paper (or better yet, a set of recovery disks) in the box that says something like the following:

    If you want to be able to recover the factory default condition, you MUST follow this process:
    (1) installation using the standard options - DO NOT CREATE any WHAT of PARTITIONS ADDITIONAL
    (2) be prepared to wait hours for the system configuration process completed successfully
    (3) DO NOT connect to a network during this process connection
    (4) do not touch the keyboard or press the button unless recommended specifically to do
    (5) be prepared to go through many cycles of restarting the computer
    (6) once completed, the FIRST thing you should do is get a USB DVD drive and use the utility program to create a set of recovery disks.
    (7) create a system repair disc - it may be a CD

    In my installation, I created a partition of D (to allow for the backup image), then managed to lock the touchpad and then ended up with a totally dead machine after having tried a system recovery which came with error F3-F100-0004. Thanks to the help of Marcus to Toshiba, Brisbane I was able to get a set of recovery disks and get it operational.

    I hope this is helpful to someone else and that Toshiba can improve the reliability and stability of the recovery process.

    Hello

    If you would turn on the unit for the first time, then you will see that Windows 7 was already preinstalled and just s complete the installation process
    It will take time, however, after the win 7 installation you will find a pre-installed manual, most people don t read this and it is a big mistake
    Operating instructions, you can find all the details you mention here in the display

    > 1) there is no DVD media with recovery of Windows 7.
    There is an available HARD drive recovery option that allows you to retrieve the device without the recovery disk, but you can also create a clean recovery disc using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled tool!

    (> 2) During the installation process, you MUST follow all the standard options (no additional partitions) If you want to be able to use the hard disk recovery partition every time.
    As far as I know Win 7 preinstalled Toshiba is an image and does not change the partitions you can change this only if you are using the Microsoft Win 7 disc and it should be clear

    However, the recovery disk must be created ALWAYS that because there is always a risk that something would go wrong with a HARD drive or partition

    With reocvery disc, you are always on the right side

  • Satellite Pro A210-1AZ - I lose the WIFI connection for no apparent reason

    I am connected to a wireless network with my A210-1AZ. There are 4 wireless networks in my area, belonging to other people on my street. I connect to my network, and everything seems to work fine...

    Up to an hour, I just lost the connection without apparent reason. I click on the ' Connect or disconnect ", and he cannot find + all + 4 wireless networks. I press refresh - nothing. I go to Device Manager, disable then re-enable the best to the wireless network device. Can I do "connect or disconnect", and it shows all 4 networks back. If I connect... for another hour... then I have to do it again.

    It seems worse when I use the network a lot, that is to say. Download large files, sometimes after 10 minutes. If it is fairly inactive, it lasts not more. But it always happens in an hour or two.

    It becomes really annoying!

    Please do BIOS update to the latest version. The problem should be solved.
    By the way: card WLAN that is listed in the Device Manager? Intel or Atheros?

  • Problems encountered during the upgradation of windows7 for windows8 in my laptop Dell Inspiron 5520.

    I'm halfway to the upgradation of windows7 for windows8 in my laptop Dell Inspiron 5520. I wonder to uninstall software for USB 3.0, Dell stage, Bluetooth, ports etc. of windows7, citing compatibility problems. How do I proceed? Similar software will be installed during the process once I have finished installing windows8? Because now, my internet connection is through the USB data card. Please advice of emergency

    What I suggest you do is download Windows 8 and create a bootable on a Flash DRIVE or DVD you can do an offline installation. Although the wizard upgrade of Windows 8 is the first download before to actually copy the files.

    You can uninstall the proposed components that affect the download installation files.

  • Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - crashes after the sleep/hibernation

    I have a PSAFHE Satellite Pro A210 running dual boot Windows XP/7

    This never happens with XP that sleeps and hibernates OK...

    I like system 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate, I go back to XP.

    Hello

    > There is no driver for this laptop on site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Sorry, mate, but you're wrong.
    All drivers for Win 7 for Satellite Pro A210 are available on the European driver of Toshiba page that I recommend you check out once again

    Given that this question does not appear using Win XP, I can say with certainty that this has nothing to do with the material, but it s a software related issue
    I recommend updating the graphics card driver

    In addition, there is a new BIOS for Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE it s v2.0
    Check if you are using the latest version

  • Satellite Pro A210 - recover the HARD internal disk

    Happy new year guys – love the active forum community!

    My Satellite Pro A210 dead spectacular a few months back and being out of warranty, I did my best to fix it - diagnosis I think has a faulty motherboard (No bios loading, no start-up through external boot disks/drives) and if I do regular backups, there are always a few files that get missed so connected the HARD drive to another PC to find the HARD drive died in that it is not even turn.

    Is it possible, even bother to try to change the circuit printed out the HARD drive, like-for-like, or is the circuit "listens" on the disc (even if it could lead to another Board blown) or what are my options to get the HARD drive looked at and repaired, at what price?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question

    Hi bearoon,

    This means you want to replace the Control Board on the underside of the HARD drive itself?

    Well, theoretically it of possible, but note: you can only replace it with a Board of 100% same HARD drive. If you use it from another HARD disk you can destroy the HARD drive and everything on it always makes not readable so it s sensitive technique.
    So before of you exchange it make sure that the model numbers of the two HARD drives are 100% identical.

    I've never done this on 2.5 portable hard drives but a few years ago I did it on my drive HARD 3.5 from desktop and it worked and so I was able to recover my data. The reason was that t wasn't HDD spinning up more (totally dead) and the problem was the faulty Control Board.

  • Satellite Pro A210 - dead on the screen pixel

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Satellite Pro A210 seris.
    Professional Vitsa.

    When I first turned it on, I noticed at the same time there is a broken pixel!

    The ASP said that unless at least 7 pixals are broken, they won't do anything!

    I am now wondering, how long it will be before more pixels don't work more, or if it will stay the same it is to say:
    Just the one pixel?
    Anyone know what I can do about it and that it will be just a matter of short time before my monitor goes together?

    I would really apprecaite any advice with this, from course I am sure you will understand that I am new to laptops.

    Thanks so much for anyone who can give me some info etc. or help with this.

  • Satellite Pro A210 - repeat vertical lines on the screen

    I hope someone can help me.

    I am a teacher and was bought by my school a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 for me to do my school work and connect to a SMART board to teach with. Throughout its probably one of the best laptops I got through school. I got it two months.

    There is only one problem with it. Its developed a rather weird problem. Occasionally, the screen suddenly freezes, and the display will be replaced by thin, alternating vertical black and white lines. The only way to get rid of them is to turn off the laptop and restart it (particularly annoying when it happened in the middle of a lesson when I've been respected by an OFSTEd Inspector!)

    Technician computer school has no idea what is the cause. I was wondering if someone here might have some advice.

    Thanks in advance.

    I ve the same laptop but I didn t receive similar lines on the screen.
    What you could do is update the BIOS and the driver (if possible) display.

    If the same problem happens again, you must connect an external monitor to the laptop.

    Then check if the same lines appears on the external display. If so, then a problem of graphics card might be possible!

  • Satellite Pro A210 periodically stop the monitor

    Hi, my computer laptop Satellite Pro A210 periodically stop his monitor. I can work now what, whether it seems no matter what I do, the monitor turns off just.
    I checked the Device Manager and there is no device showing conflict. I bought the new laptop about six weeks ago and it is very annoying that it does. Anyone had similar problems with their A210?

    I contacted Toshiba and I hope that they will be committed to fix my laptop.

    Thank you.

    This is very interesting thread because I m the owner of a Satellite A210 with dual OS (Vista and XP) and didn t notice such problem with XP or Vista.

    Of course, the screen goes black after a while but this is related to my energy saving settings. I ve set the power of my wide display settings to save power while working on the battery.

    I don't know if this could be the reason for your question, but it's certainly an option m.

    You can also try to update the BIOS and the graphics driver to check if it would help solve the problem you also.

    Good luck to you
