Vista and XP is used side by side on a Satellite A210?
We recently bought a laptop A210-1 b 1 which has Windows Vista Home installed.
As the laptop at disposal to add another hard drive, we can load a XP disc, so that the system can be opened according to the requirement, at the time.
We try to use a "DJ" program, which is not compatible with Vista.
Hello
First of all I m not 100% sure if your computer supports 2 hard drives.
I have a Satellite A210 and it has 2 bays for HARD drives, but it cannot be upgraded with a second HDD because the second SATA controller is not available. I ve removed the plastic cover of second HDD bay and didn t find all the connectors.
But you can use the two operating systems on one HARD drive.
You could create a second partition and on this partition, you could install Win XP.
But it's a little tricky.
The point is that the XP would replace the Master boot record and change the Vista Boot Manager.
After the XP installation that you would not be able choose the Vista operating system.
But don t worry buddy, I found a solution. You need an original DVD of Vista. (I borrowed from a friend)
After installing XP, you will need to boot from the Vista CD. This would again install the Vista Boot Manager.
Now, you need a free tool called EasyBCD. This allows you to change the Boot Manager and include the new entry from XP.
If you want you can google for EasyBCD and more details.
Good bye

How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring
Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.How can I do this?
I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.Thanks in advance for your answers.
Hi Jan
I doubt that this is possible
Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring

Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?
Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).
No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.
This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?
I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?
Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.
Any help is very appreciated!
Thank you.
If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
+ Important INFORMATION +.+ your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
+ your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
+ HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)

In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.I hope I could help you.

Satellite A210-19 t: win 8 beta is a nightmare, but I can't go back to Vista.
Hello
I could really do with some help.
I was part of the fools who decided to try Windows 8 a few months back to find that I can't seem to turn the tide and now my laptop is basically useless for me.
I can't seem to find a disk to reboot, but I'm not even sure I got one in the first place.
What I read online, Toshiba put everything on one partition and access you by pressing a shortcut when loading the machine upward.
I tried, but the wonderful new Windows 8 will not let me access, should it even be there in the first place.
I have a valid computer with a valid serial, etc. I want just the old BONES of return as soon as possible.
I put my paper in on the support page and that's what he said, I have:
Satellite A210-19 t
Part number: PSAFGE-03V011EN
Main features
-AMD Athlon X 2 Dual - Core TK-57 processor
-Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
-Drive DVD Super Multi (Double Layer)
-2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB
-15.4 "WXGA TFT display 1 280 x 800Please help me to get my laptop to its previous state.
Thanks in advance.
> From what I've read online, Toshiba put everything on one partition and access you by pressing a shortcut when loading the machine upward.
That of right, but you will have access to this partition with factory only. Problem is that after the clean version of the OS that you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.
> I have a valid computer with a valid serial, etc. I want just the old BONES of return as soon as possible.
Correct, but this valid serial number belongs to the operating system that you got with your laptop. In operating manuals Toshiba s is described clearly how portable computer owner should create recovery DVDs and backup the original recovery image. Using this drive you can install recovery image whenever you want.If you n t have it there are only two possibilities:
-to order a new one from https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx (it will not be free)
d ' install own OS (you cannot use the sticker series)Sorry, but it's a bit complicated now.

Help, pleaseHello
It seems that the connection to a gateway was closed for some reason any and then you tried to use again in the same session that gives the ORA-28511.
There is a timeout of the gateway by default but which is 20 minutes, while you are having a problem after 4 minutes and the timeout of the listener is set to 0.
You have timeout settings configured in sqlnet.ora?Kind regards

Help and advice with programming side host
Hi all
You have to connect the Java Card reader (+ Java Card!) for a powered ARM embedded system under Debian Linux.
Now we must essentially the host program that sends the APDU to the card and receive responses from the card.
This program must be in C.
I have been coding bits of Java Card on my Windows laptop and have been the installation using GPshell.
I have the card and the following card reader:
(a) 3310 SCR from SCM Microsystems - smart card reader
(b) Cyberflex access 64 k v2c Gemalto (formerly Axalto)-Java Card (JC Supports 2.1.1 and global platform 2.0.1)
My question is this:
Time to test my applet, I use GPshell commands. GPshell works with Linux (powered by an ARM processor)
I understand that the global platform is a library and can be used to program the side host to communicate with the card chip. Can it be compiled for Linux? I have no idea how I'd do for an ARM based system.
I'm very fragile on the host side of things party. Please throw much light on this piece as possible - it will save me a lot of heartburn later, believe me!
Before I started working with JC, I was under the impression once the connection with the card setup, to just send the APDU (has the JCWDE emulator) to communicate with the card. I had no idea that we use GPshell for that. So, basically if there's another way that supports APDU to and from the card that works for linux (I think that PC/SC takes care of the APDU) that would do the trick and I guess that what I do Id of GPshell under Windows, could do with this other way on Linux.
Help, please.
Very much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
See you soonHello
First of all, your host application must be able to load and install the cmdlets, or do you just need to communicate with a card that has your preloaded applet? The answer to this will help determine what you need on your Linux machine.
If you do not need to load the applet, you can use pcsc - lite (it's the port of PC/SC for Linux/Unix http://www.linuxnet.com/middle.html). This can be included in your distribution or you can easily compile from source. GPShell uses the GlobalPlatrform library that uses a PC/SC to communicate with your card. If you are not loading of applets, then you can skip the wrappers and use PC/SC directly.
You were correct in your original hypothesis. When you have a connection to the card, you simply send APDU. There are a number of ways to do this, but they all eventually go through PC/SC. Most are simply a wrapper that makes things more convenient (smartcardio) while others are just a language Binder or wrapper (jpcsc). You don't need to use GPShell once you have an applet on your map. This is mainly used for creating scripts to load and sometimes to personalize a card. I wouldn't use this for most of this. Because it looks like an embedded Linux platform, you should keep your host as light weight as possible and go directly with PC/SC.
You could start working on your application host using PC/SC and may compile it for windows and linux. You can watch the GlobalPlatform source to see how they did it (it is compilable for both and I've also compiled for OS X). The only real problem of memory is the include for pcsc headers path.
See you soon,.

Tips for use side Server; Getting started
I am trying to create a form that sends the info automatically, consistently. "mailto:" pulls up an e-mail client, which I don't want to, but I never used side Server Tech before and don't know if I can still in my situation.
I tried to create these two files - http://www.codefixer.com/tutorials/sample_form_email_script.asp
I then put the 2 files (.asp + .html) in my folder on server - connected locally through my work computer.
When I access the form.html via the internet, (http://www.srdar.org/aspnet_client/system_web/1_1_4322/form.html) fill out the form and submit - I get the error msg: "405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not appropriate method not valid (HTTP verb) was used for the access attempt."
When I access the form.html locally, fill out the form and submit, it directs me to a blank page: "email sent" which is, in my view, what is supposed to happen. Problem is, it does not send the email.I don't know if I still have a server that can use ASP technology - but there is a folder in the network a few .js files with a .html... I just assumed it would work... Any ideas? Something simple?
ASP.net is not supported by DW.
Does this sort of thing is something I can only learn/teach myself in a week? Because that's what Im trying to do.
If you're hand coding, probably not. If you are just trying to connect an ASP.net script predefined in your HTML contact form, it shouldn't take more than an hour from start to finish. My advice is to ask that the firm s IT or tech support for help. For security reasons, you will not be able to use your own forms & scripts. The unsecured forms & scripts may leave a server vulnerable to malicious attacks by hackers. Check with your own people prior to this.

Satellite A210 - 11K: Vista blocks the use of IE and internet
Hello
I'll keep this short. I have the Satellite A210 - 11K with Vista Home Premium. Basically, when I installed SP1 and the other all other updates, use Internet Explorer and all other related programs has been blocked EXCEPT MSN Messenger, which proves that I could connect to the internet. To run the system restore, I could use internet proving that updates are the cause of the problem.
However, I can no longer perform the system restore, and I'm stuck with SP1 and no internet.
I tried everything Microsoft Tech Support phone for 40mins, uninstallation of different updates, play with the internet settings, change the settings in msconfig etc...
A friend of mine who is very good with the PC found that port 80 is blocked (apparently this port is very important) and my laptop is by allowing a DNS (or something...)
I need help so if anyone can help, thanks in advance 1 million

Have you tried to find the solution to your internet provider?
They should have some experience with these issues.
To be honest I don't see the connection between the laptop to the manufacturer and your problem and I think you should contact your internet service provider. It must be a problem with the settings. -

All of a sudden, I started getting double e-mails. I am running Vista and using windows mail. Does anyone have a solution?
Usually, it is because the two copies of the account are set up. Go to tools | Accounts | Mail and see if there is more than one copy of the account. If not, then try to compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/) and analysis of e-mail what to do is not enable in your anti-virus software (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3). If this does not resolve things, try to delete your account, close and reopen WinMail and then add the account back again.
