Need to reinstall windows but don't have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home onto my Satellite Pro L20, but don't have any of the software my laptop came with (read lost the disks). I have a valid XP home key (as its stuck on the bottom of my laptop) but no disc so I tired using a copy of a Windows XP home cd, which didn't work, but did let me get as far as formatting the hard drive.
So right now I'm using Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key but no software to reinstall.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Christopher

Are you kidding now?
Do you understand English or what?
I will try to be clear enough and constructive too in hope you will understand your situation.
Some facts for you:
- Recovery image *CANNOT* be downloaded
- Following link http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com >Support & Downloads you can find all drivers, tools and utilities for your notebook model
So back to your situation:
For clean OS installation you have *_two_* options only:
- if possible order new copy by Toshiba authorized service provider in your country *do you have more questions about that?*
- you can install operating system using Microsoft installations CD *if you don't have it, it is your problem*
Can you please tell me if all this is clear now?
If you have more questions please ask.

  • How do you get a wndows System disc for nb205-311/W? Need to re-load Windows but don't have disc...

    My nb205-311/W crashed and I need to re-load Windows, but don't have a disc. Does anyone know if the laptop comes with one? Don't remember there being one in the box.
    Does anyone know where I can get one? I cannot find any way to actually contact Toshiba to request one.
    Thanks for any and all help and advice!!!

    They don't come with a physical disk these days, and haven't for several years.  They come with a app to create them from a hidden partition on the hard drive, but that also requires an external USB DVD Burner.  Otherwise you can go to this post to find out how to order replacement media.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • I need to migrate CUCM 8.6.2 from 6.0.1 but don't have any DVD of old 6.0.1

    Dear Experts,
    I have new project which has been abandon for long and assigned to me recently.
    I know what is the steps we need to work.
    1. DRS from current CUCM version
    2. Install same version of 6.0.1 to new Server
    3. Backup from step1.
    4. Upgrade to 8.6.2(it is not direct support, so I have to upgrade to middle version first)
    But customer doesn't have current CUCM(6.0.1) version of DVD and I cannot find the version from Cisco site as well.
    1. Can I export BAT from old version and import BAT to new version ? will it work ?
    2. I don't have any bootable version either of old or new, so I need to make bootable after download from Cisco site.
    I googled and some site said I can copy bootsector from bootable DVD and copy to new DVD, in this case even though  it is not same version, for example, if I copy from 10.5 version and copy to 8.6.2, does it make bootable DVD ?
    3. How can I remove all configuration on CUCM ? is it CLI command if I can ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jason,
    There is a way, however if you got into any bad situation or needed any help during the process TAC WILL NOT be able help.
    http://htluo.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-make-non-bootable-iso-image.html
    Try this method, and you should be able to create bootable DVDs from non-Bootable ones.
    Secondly, you may raise a TAC SR and request them to release the Bootable media for 6.0.1

  • Installed new update but don't have any new features

    Besides having to install/restore on another computer before I could actually do anything... I've now FINALLY got my iPhone 3G working again BUT I don't have any of the new features that come with the iOS4 update except for the folders feature. How do I fix this?
    I'm really looking forward to the homescreen background wallpaper feature...

    A lot of the updates (wallpaper, multitasking) sadly weren't released for the 3G due to Apple not being satisfied with the performance on the 3G's slower hardware.

  • Need Boot Camp drivers, but don't have the restore discs for 17" iMac

    Where can I get drivers for my 1.83ghz iMac if I don't have the discs? I don't only need drivers but software so that I can boot BACK into OS X when I want because my keyboard does not respond until the OS boots so I can't use the Option key at startup.
    I need Vista or 7 32-bit drivers.

    Hi Mr. Cheeto,
    you signature states "OSX 10.6" so I assume that you have a 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD somewhere.
    Use that disc which incorporates the BootCamp 3.0 Drivers.
    After that you can download the 3.1 update and apply it while in Windows.
    The 1.83GHz iMac you have came out in 2006 with OSX 10.4 Tiger.
    The Tiger restore disc that came with your iMac didn't had any BootCamp Drivers on it.
    BootCamp was then released as a seperate download as long as it was in Beta state.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Need to reset ipad but don't have original owners apple id just password

    I manage a pawn shop and we reset apple ipad to factory settings now it say's owner has used find my phone to link their id. I do not have the owners apple id but I do have password and have no way to get ahold of owner what can I do

    In future you must verify that 'Find My iPhone' is switched off, that is the key to all the security. If it is on you will not be able to get around it unless (a) you have the seller demonstrate that it is off by showing you that it has been disabled or (b) have the seller go to his account on the iCloud website, then go to Find My Phone (on the site) and remove the item from his account. In your case I would guess that the first method would be preferable.
    The one you have can be sold for parts value, but that's about it, sorry to bear the news.
    PS: You are not the first Pawn Shop operator to post here with this problem. I don't know your business but if there is some kind of trade publication this may be a good item for it (and it is already spreading to other manufacturers devices), Galaxy G5's have a similar system, the EU will require it by law. The clock is ticking

  • Reinstalling CS6, but don't have the original disk.

    So a couple years back, I bought the Adobe Master Collection CS6, and it worked great. I've recently run into problems with my computer unrelated to Adobe and had to Reset Windows to factory state. My PC was in such bad shape, there was no way for me to back up important files before resetting. Now I have to reinstall Adobe CS6, but I can't track down the original disk. I do however have the product code and serial number, is there a way for me to get CS6 back? Please help.

    You can download and use the serial number you have to acrivate it.

    Driver being the key word here. Palm the device manufacture and there sister company access never wrote a 64bit windows driver. All desktop versions have the 32bit driver in them. Aceeca a little over a month ago came out with a 64bit windows driver and offered it to the palm community. I am using it on a windows 7 64bit computer. If you have a 64bit version of windows XP, Vista, or 7 than you need this driver so you can cable hotsync with your computer. The driver does not come in an executable file so you need to do a manual install. The driver and directions on how to install are in the pose (64bit drivers are here). Aceeca 64bit driver
    You can use the 6.2 desktop if you want but if you want the version that came on the TX to use along with this driver here is a link. It will say 700p on it but both the 700p and the TX have the same operating system. TX palm desktop
    This will not have the extra software on it like documents to go and eReader. If you are interested in eReader just google it there pro version became free a while ago.

  • How do I easily redownload all my purchased songs that I got on my computer but don't have any more because I recently had to get a new hardrive?

    I recently had to get a new hardrive for my computer from the apple store when my hardrive failed.  I wasn't able to back up all my purchased itunes items before my computer crashed.  Therefore, I've been trying to redowload them all by just going through my past purchase history in itunes and press reodownload.  But this is really tedious.  Is there a faster way to get all the music back? It doesn't redownload it when I press check for dowloads because it thinks the songs are already on this computer because they once were....

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Need to deauthorize computers I don't have any more.  Help!

    I am trying to authorize itunes in a recent MacBook Pro I received from my company, but my account says I already have five computers authorized. How can I unauthorize three of the old ones?
    Thanks!!

    When you reach your limit of five, you have the option once a year to deauthorize all. Then you can start authorizing again. There is no other way to deauthorize a computer you do not have access to. Deauthorize all then start over.

    My mail badge on home screen shows 2472 emails but when I open it there is no messages I have deleted them all. I can't get rid of red badge showing 2472 emails

    Reset your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data.
