Toshiba Satellite A105-s2236 recovery problems

I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-s2236, which crashed by some kind of virus.  I did a recovery for her disc, but he lost and must have the computer for the class.  I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on thinking that if I got the recovery disc, I would be able to go back.  Long story short, no recovery disk.  It came with windows Vista Home Basic and I have the product key.  What choices do I have?  Thanks in advance for any help.

Contact Toshiba and see if they can send you another set of recovery disks (it can be a light load, but it's cheaper than a new operating system).  Some systems allow you to make the recovery partition recovery disks - I don't know if you can do what you are currently Setup, but it is possible - again once you need to talk to Toshiba about.  Other PC still allows a system reinstall recovery partition by pressing a certain combination of keyboard during startup - I don't know if this applies to you, but Toshiba knows.

Another option is to borrow a disk to install Windows Vista genuine of ANYONE and allows it to proceed with the installation (they are not protected against copying).  You must use your own product key and that would determine which version of Vista has been installed.  Here's how to do a clean install with Windows Vista (which must be modified slightly if you use the discs recovery or partition of recovery of the manufacturer according to their instructions): http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp.

I hope this helps.

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • In Satellite A105-S2236 RAM upgrade problems

    I'm working on a Satellite A105-S2236 for a customer. She has Windows Vista Basic - and did not come with 512 MB of RAM, so it is very slow. I went by Crucial and got another chip 512 MB for this computer - after installation, it shows again that 512 - I tried to change the chips, each chip individiually running into the two slots to see if 1 chip or locations did not work, and everything works fine - except with 2 512 chips - it shows more than 512 RAM.

    I spent some time on the phone with Toshiba - bascially for them to tell me that the motherboard is picky and will not recognize 2 different brand of chips of RAM. 2 chips are quite identical features except the one who came there is Samsung and the new is Crucial. I can't believe they don't work together.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You won't believe me, but many people have reported the same issue with the essential modules. The best thing you can do is to return and buy products known and of good quality. If you want one, order the module of RAM Kingston. They will work for sure.

    Hello alibaba

    At first, I must say that I know for sure that Toshiba does not link to the download of the images of recovery. If you have CD/DVD of recovery for your laptop you must buy it.
    The CD featured on the photo are really strange. It looks like original Toshiba recovery CD/DVD, but as some recovery done free media. See just print it. I am really confused about this.

    Recovery media original Toshiba resembles the following. You see the difference? Of course, in this photo you can see the recovery media for the European market but I can't imagine there are big difference from other countries outside Europe.

    Can you please tell me which gives you these CDs?

I was working with my laptop with an external screen connected by HDMI and all of a sudden the screen started to Flash some green lines with a black background (something like you can see in the video).

    I saw on the internet that some people have problems making the update to wion10, I have installed new Windows 8 to see if has something related to win10 but the problem persists.

  • Toshiba satellite pro m30 USB problem

    I have toshiba satellite pro m30 and HP scanjet 4600 scanner.when I connect the scanner directly to the notebok with its ' original usb cable there is no problem. But if I connect the scanner to the laptop with a laptop usb extension cable cannot initialize the scanner. There is no problem if I connect the scanner to the VAIO laptop with usb extension cable. What can I do?

    Hello

    could you describe the difference between the original USB cable and the USB extension cable?

    The laptop and the printer works correctly with the original USB cable, but it seems that the extension USB cable is an inexpensive which does not fulfill the technical specifications and the laptop has a problem with this issue.

    To solve the problem in my opinion you could do an update of the BIOS, look if for your printer is a new driver available and reinstall the USB drivers.

    Also, you could test whether USB, the same problem occurs with other cables.

    Hello

    I guess that the "0100101010" - code must be some kind of error code, but I'm not sure. But even if that's who you wouldn get information on this subject given that these technical information are kept for toshiba technicians, I guess. :)

    So, in this case, you can not do anything and just ask some laptop technician/service station for a checkup of material or a repair.

    Sorry mate, but that's all.

    Thinking that it was Windows 10, Formate of the computer and install Windows 7 but still the same, the sound works for 5 minutes and cut until you put another video.
    If I connect a headphone or Audio HDMI is not cut ever.

    I noticed it happened to most Toshiba laptops, but I found no solution. Anyone know any solution?

    I got into ubuntu to test the audio and the same thing, to five minutes run out sound until you put another video.

  • Buffer for the Toshiba Satellite S1800-514 Tracker problem

  • SSHD Toshiba MQ01ABD100H - Firmware / data recovery problem

    Hello!
    I have the mission critical data on a MQ01ABD100H of Toshiba to SSHD which was in a Sony VAIO for less than one year who decided to stop working from one day to the next. All I care about is the data. A professional data recovery company apparently reputable rated player, told me that it was a "mechanical failure", said they could recover the data and gave me a quote of $1500.00. A week later I was told something different; They said the platters and heads seem to agree and the problem seems to be on the circuit board and/or flash drive, and they didn't know how to recover the data. They told me that they have consulted Toshiba too. I asked them if they replaced the pcb Board and they would not tell me or answer questions more. I have the drive in my hands and am looking for options. I really believe that my data is recoverable if the trays are okay, right?

    Here's what I know for sure; the bios of the machine of Sony VAIO Windows 8.1, correctly recognizes the drive. However, it does not start and is not accessible or recognized with cmd prompt Windows 8.1 UEFI options. The drive is not encrypted. After putting the reader into an external enclosure and its connection to another Win8.1 machine, the player starts with no extreme sounds of survey. Slowly, she clicks a few times as if the heads are looking, but then calms down and keeps running quietly. I have installed a Data Rescue PC3 software that recognizes the drive and its attributes correctly but can't read or clone. I have the Partition Wizard software mini tool, which recognizes the drive correctly, but shows the drive as being unreadable.

    That's what I'm trying to do. I'm looking for a donor on mine, with the same model drive, date, firmware, site, number of PCBS, hard drive code.

    Now, here is my unknowns and I appreciate everyone a preview with these. If I change the pcb edge myself, I need still more likely transfer the firmware for the new Board of Directors, even if I try it without doing it. I don't know where the firmware is stored, is there a rom chip or is it stored in the Flash Player. I'm not certain if, with this model of SSHD, if this can be done with replacement of the chip or the software? If it is stored on the Flash drive how is available independent of the HHD part? Must the reader Flash itself be harvested? But what happens if the flash player is bad, how can the firmware ever be recovered? Any ideas anyone? ... other than myself shot in the head, I'm kidding. I think that this may be a common problem that will often not resolved.

    I have the drive in my hands and am looking for options. I really believe that my data is recoverable if the trays are okay, right?

    I am not an expert but if applications cannot access the data and cannot read data from the SSHD then you will need professional help...

    I found the storage Toshiba page where you could get details on this SSHD

    Mate good luck...

    On this forum you can find many useful sons on new models of laptops (like your) and recovery. I can write the whole strory about and explain how it works, but there is a problem: I am originally from Europe and you have a portable US model.

    I'm afraid that the principle can be a little different as here in Europe.

    So I recommend you to visit us Toshiba forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1 and I hope that someone can give you a precise answer to all your questions.

  • Re: Question for Toshiba Satellite A100-332 recovery

    I want to format and reinstall windows to its plant as its really slow-running state. I do not remember to have a recovery on buying cd and said that I just need to push an F key on boot up, file recovery is on the hard drive. Is this correct?

    No it's not correct. On this laptop more old model Toshiba didn't offered HARD drive recovery image. Recovery image is recorded on DVD. When you want to install the recovery image using recovery DVD media you can use the F button to start.

    To install the HARD drive recovery (if it is saved on the HARD drive), there is another way to achieve this.
    So what you can do is to order the original recovery media or install the operating system using the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities.
