Recover fails on Satellite A85

I'm using the disc provided with purchase and have run the recovery. The process seems to go alright and the files are all copied. i get a message to remove the disk from the cd drive and press any key. Then all I get is a black screen with blinking cursor in the upper right corner. Computer is stuck there and also returns to that screen when I try to restart. can anyone help?

Does it ever progress past that screen, or is it permanently stuck there? Is this after POST(and the Toshiba splash screen), and can you get to advanced boot options(accessed by pressing F8 while booting).

Satellite A85-s107 - blank screen on boot up using battery power

Satellite A85-s107 blank screen on boot up using battery power
When I boot up A85-s107 in battery power, it is getting booted up in the background, but my screen is blank.
After that if I connect it to AC power and switch off/on the laptop power button, the display comes back to life.
There is no problem when I boot up when connected to AC power.
Battery is fully charged and computer will run off battery if I remove AC after boootup
Any suggestions?
Ps:
also notice that when I remove AC and then reconnect I have to start the computer twice as it doesnt boot the 1st time?

hi nick34_99,
sounds to me like a bad charging electronic...
i got this issue on my sat3000 too, but only when battery is not fully charged...
start the unit with a dos-disc (freedos has an cd image) and let the battery run "dry"...
after that boot without battery (ac-adapter connected of course) and log on.
after that shut down insert battery and try with batt only....
this trick has done magic on my machine...

How to recover Bios on Satellite A300

How to recover bios on satellite A300 laptop?

> Somebody told me that the bios must have infected and asked me to rewright the bios.
So this someone hasn't got much savvy.
Sorry mate but this issue has nothing to do with BIOS. BIOS is saved on the ROM module the virus cannot affect the ROM module since it needs to be flashed and I dont think that this a case on your notebook.
You just deleted something in registry?? Im afraid this is not enough to get rid of a virus
The best solution is to format the HDD and to reinstall the system once again
Use the recovery disk because the recover would delete all partitions and would reinstall the system, drivers and tools again

Error message: "Webcam driver open fail" for Satellite L305-S5875

Problem: Webcam is not working and when Camera Assistant Software is started up, the Error message, "Webcam driver open fail" pops up.
Computer: Notebook Satellite L305-S5875
OS: Windows Vista
In troubleshooting, I have unsuccessfully tried the following: Changed the webcam driver several times, rolled back driver, updated driver, and tried Chicony 2.0 USB driver, and a few other webcam drivers. The webcam initially worked fine, but about a month after installing and using Skype video, the webcam suddenly stopped working and on reboot I got the error message.
I've stopped Skype and Camera Assistant Software at startup and manually start them, as someone suggested this as a solution. I've uninstalled both and reinstalled several times. I've tried one software without the other installed... trying every possible arrangement for a solution, to no avail.
I called Customer Support and John, although very nice and patient, was not helpful. He said he'd research and call back. Didn't.
I've gone to Chicony website to try to find an more current driver than January 07. When I let Windows install the latest from the web, it installs a Microsoft 2006 driver. I don't think it's a hardware issue, as it started acting up after Skype installed. I also tried System Restore, but that didn't work either.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
SteveCo

Thanks Jerry. I spent hours going through the links you provided and tried some of the suggestions looking for a solution. Nothing worked.
I tried uninstalling Toshiba's Camera Assist software and Skype (Skype initially seemed to be the instigator of the problem), completely removing both from the registry, and removing the webcam with Device Manager. Then I made sure Vista was up to date, and then installed the latest Toshiba Camera Assist software from the Toshiba download page. After installation and rebooting, I'm getting the same error message: "Webcam driver open fail."
The webcam used to work, before we installed Skype and used it a few times. From the other posts I've read, it does seem to be a common problem... usually after Skype or another webcam-using software is installed and run.
We have another Toshiba laptop: A215-S4757, that has the same OS and webcam-using programs, and it does not have an issue. Apparently though , after going through all the links on the European message board, you provided, the L305 model is having a problem.
Open for suggestions.

Win7 install with multiple/all the FAILS! Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)
Installing: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64 bit)
Background: Laptop is around 2-3 years old now. Formatting and installing a fresh copy of Win7. Doing this for a close friend.
Issue #1: Using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" off the microsoft website, I attemped to install Win7 via USB drive (had so many issues before using this tool ). It boots to USB perfectly and starting going through the installation options. When it gets to "Where do you want to install Windows?" (creating and seleting HDD partitions) I hit a major road-block!
p.s. USB in USB2.0 as I originally tried 3.0 and coudln't even make it that far....
I get the Error "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing systm partition. See the Setup log files for more information." Basically the Primary disk is created but the system disk wont.
p.s. The HDD still does show up and worked before this all. it's not a failed HDD.
I've tried (most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Creating different size partitions, multiple partitions, leaving GB's of "Unallocated Space" hoping it will create a system partition. Didn't work.....
2. Formating the whole HDD using Command-line and wiping it completely clean. Honestly, this was stupid because now I cannot even go back! Didn't work.....
3.Changing BIOS settings and praying it will work. Most of the BIOS settings these fixes told me to change, aren't actaully on this Toshiba model. I even restart to default settings. Didn't work....
4. Even tried a "load Drivers" fix I found. The fix asked for a SATA driver, but I got every driver just incase. Not a single driver even appeared on the "Select the driver to be installed" screen. Unticked the "hide drivers.." box also... So that didn't work either...
At this point I was pretty mad so I went and purcahsed some DVD-RW's to burn the ISO onto and try that instead.
Issue #2: Using the same tool as before, I installed Win7 onto a DVD. I then ran the DVD on my PC to test and the setup.exe showed up. I then put the DVD in the Toshiba laptop and using F12 to select "ODD TSSTcorp CDDVDw TS-L633F" (the other options were "HDD/SSD, USB and LAN).
p.s. The DVD drive lights up and I can hear it reading the disc (normal slight humm).
I then get:

or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and Press a key_"
To me, this is the LAN controller boot, but it didn't even read the disk.
I've tried (and again, most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Changing Boot priorities and settings. I even tried to disable LAN boot in BIOS (but you cannot on this model). Didn't work..
2. Yelling at it and holding myself back from hitting it with a hammer. Still attempting..
3. Praying to a higher power. Didn't work...
Ideas I have left that may work:
1. Downloading and burning a different ISO. maybe even trying 32bit. (was 64bit before starting)
2. Waiting for someone much smarter than me to reply on this post and help me!
3. Telling my friend that "It's not my problem, while I run off into the sunset!"
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! This is doing my head in!
and yes, I've tried turning it off and on again

oh my **bleep**ing god...... I am so mad right now! 95% butthurt infact!
MY RAGE IS STRONG!
Just found out off the owner that the DVD drive doesn't work..
SO! The DVD drive doesn't work and it seems like the only way to install Win7. I have a feeling that this model doesn't do USB very well....
will an external DVD drive work for this? or some I find someone with a toshiba that has the same model dvd drive inside and swap them for an hour while I do it...
or should I try LAN... havn't one LAN install in a home environment before..

Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant failed on Satellite P775

I tried running the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant on my Satellite P775.
It started by displaying
Checking Components; download Windows 8 Components data.
Reading Components.
Got component TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Indicator
... etc ...
Got Component TOSHIBA Contrasena de supervisor
Reading Windows Components.
then displayed a Message Box
"Failed to read Target (Windows 8) INI file."
How can I solve this?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I followed that procedure.
My model is Satellite P775-112 PSBY3E and is listed as being compatible
After installing Windows 8, I noticed that the DVD drive was no longer accessible, as described in the following thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68222&tstart=0
So I disabled the Windows Service "Toshiba Optical Disc Drive Service" (TODDSrv.exe 1.0.0.8), and the DVD drive is now visible. However Toshiba Video Player still does not work (says it has compatibility issues) and I can not view DVD videos.
I then ran the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant, which failed immediately with the error "Failed to read Target (Windows 8) INI file".
I found some posts on the forum with a similar error with the Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant (Failed to read Target (Windows 7) INI file. None of the posts has a clear description of what this error means but I've tried all of the suggestions.
Here's a list of what I've tried:
- Rebooted
- Upgraded BIOS to latest version (2.10)
- Run Upgrade Assistant as Administrator
- Run Upgrade Assistant with "Toshiba Optical DIsc Drive Service TODDSrv.exe 1.0.0.8 started or stopped.
My main problems at the moment are:
- Toshiba Optical DIsc Drive Service causes DVD drive to disappear
- Toshiba Video Player won't run
- No way to view DVDs
I'd be happy to install the drivers and applications individually if the Upgrade Assistant doesn't work - is there anywhere I can download them?

Booting Windows 7 install DVD in uefi mode fails for satellite p870

So as the title says, I'm trying to boot the windows 7 installer in uefi mode. It gets pretty far into the boot process, but then just falls flat on it's face. Booting the DVD in safe mode, I can see that it loads all the drivers up to disk.sys, then it seems like it's trying to display the installer GUI and fails. The top quarter or so of the screen gets blanked to black, and then everything just sorta stops. DVD stops spinning, and nothing else happens. I'm kinda restricted to uefi at the moment, as the drive i want to install on has some stuff i'd rather not lose on it, and i've just carved out some empty space for windows.

Hello Jerry:
Trying to help a friend who just got a Satellite L875D that needs to downgrade from factory Win8 to a purchased disk of Win7-64 to continue using his legacy software & not have to re-train himself & buy more stuff. Tried putting in the Win7 disk before starting the first time, but it didn't boot from that drive. Then the initial start-up factory screen didn't give an F-key to enter BIOS. Some forum notes say it might be F-2 or F-12; another post says he tried every F key.
Do I have to do/finish the Win8 installation, and then let Win7 format the C drive? One post talks of the Win8 method to reach the UEFI, and then you say to disable secure boot. And I am not sure if the Win8 is in a "safe" partition since there are no disks included; or if I should do the Win8 install and make a backup of it, and then do the Win7 clean install.
Thank you.

Issues trying to recover failed Exchange Server 2013 in a DAG

Having several issues attempting to recover a failed Exchange Server 2013. To start out, the failed server was mounted on a virtual server using hyper-v. The virtual server failed due to some hard drive partition issues and would no longer boot. As there
really was no purpose to having Exchange on a Virtual Server I decided to rename the host to the same name as the virtual server. I reset the name in AD and proceeded to rename the server. Then made sure all the necessary things were installed and proceeded
to do a recovery installation. I neglected to properly delete the old databases belonging to that server. I simply deleted the files off the hard drive instead of doing it properly. I should mention this is a two node plus witness server installation.Now,
it seems I cannot delete the former server in either ECP or command line. I have attempted to clean up the mess with the old databases but there is one that was mounted only on the failed server that I cannot remove. It seems until I can remove that, I cannot
remove the failed server from the DAG and do a recovery install. The steps shown in the tech net articles to remove a failed database have also failed. At this point I am wondering if I should just give up on the server name and do an install on a new server
name or if someone can give me some information on how to clean up the mess, that would be better I am sure. Here is a list of the things I have tried.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876880(v=exchg.150).aspx and in this article, the item mentioned is not in ADSIedit.

To disable a non-arbitration mailbox so that you can delete the mailbox database, run the command Disable-Mailbox

Step to Recover Failed Database Move

Hi All,
I'm trying to move the one production Database with some critical mailboxes to a new drive.
How do i recover if the move failed in the middle or verse case scenario? what is the basic steps.
This is a VM and backing using veeam software.

Hi,
You can restore mailbox database from backup, however, when restoring Exchange data, all backed up databases must be restored together. You can't restore a single database.
To restore the individual database, you can refer to the workaround provided in the following article.
You cannot restore an individual database by using Windows Server Backup in Exchange 2010 or in Exchange Server 2007

Cant recover/reset my Satellite C850 series

I have just recently attempted trying to fix this computer again, and not having any luck what so ever. All of a sudden when I turn the laptop on it shows the Toshiba start screen than goes into automatic repair which than goes into a blank screen and sometimes reads that it has found a error than shuts off. I have tried the f12 which brings up HDD recovery which eventually shuts off and I have also tried 0 which brings up nothing. Is there anything that I can do to get this brand new computer up and running again? Any help, advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Satellite C855D-S5320
If you're persistent, both Microsoft and Toshiba say you can reach the Choose an option menu (the Windows 8 version of a recovery environment) from startup.
Microsoft says that repeatedly failing to boot automatically gets you there. You can also get there by booting from a system repair/recovery/installation disc or flash drive.
Toshiba says tapping the F12 key early in the boot gets you there. (You may need to Select <HDD Recovery> after that.) The zero key at the top also seems to work for some.

WEb camera initializtion failed in Satellite P750-114

Dear All,
I am facing a problem with the web camera in my Toshiba Satellite P750-114. The laptop is less than two months old and the web camera was working fine, then it suddenly stopped working. The error message is "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer". The Microphone stopped working as well, as it is related to the web camera device. The operating system is Windows 7 64bits. It seems that the operating system is not seeing that there is a webcam anymore. I tried the following things:
1- I uninstalled the web camera driver, downloaded the most recent driver from Toshiba website (the link is http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=UK) , and installed it, but it did not work.
2- I restored the original setting for the laptop, but still the web camera is not working.
Two ways I am using to test the web camera: the Skype and "Web Camera Application" from Start/Toshiba/Utilities
Please if someone has any idea on how to resolve this problem, the laptop is band new and it is fantastic, but this problem is annoying. I searched the Internet for similar problems, some Toshiba models suffer from this problem but not P750-114,
Please help
Bashar

Generally speaking, after recovery image installation all hardware components should be recognized and installed properly so with this factory settings everything should work as on the day after you purchased your notebook and started it for the first time.
If the cam doesn't work with factory settings I can imagine there is some hardware problem.
I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check cam functionality using their diagnostic tools and exchange cam if necessary.
Of course it will be covered by valid warranty.

In-built webcam fail on Satellite P200

Hey guys, need help with this!
I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 and when I try the webcam, a pop up comes saying that the webcam driver has failed! I want to talk on Skype, so how do I solve this problem?
Thanks!

Can you please tell us more about your notebook?
Which operating system do you use?
Does cam work with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook (Vista 32bit)?

How to recover Vista on Satellite L500

Hello guys,
I bought a Satellite L500 with Windows Vista...unfortunately I am not a Vista-lover, so I installed the good old WXP.
However, I forgot to burn a copy of the vista-version.
Then I realized that there are no xp-drivers available for the Satellite. So I installed the vista-drivers. Almost everything worked, except the graphics drivers.
My notebook, of course, now uses the default graphics drivers from windows, but now everything is distorted.
Now my question: Is there a way to recover Vista? Of course, I own a product key that I have acquired with the purchase of the notebook.
I have also a Vista CD from my other computer, but it does not accept the product key from the notebook.
Thanks for your help!
ps: Sorry for bad english ;)

@xaver
I have a original Microsoft Windows Vista DVD, but if I install Vista with this DVD, I must activate it after approx. 2-3 weeks of Vista online. If I give the key which stands on my notebook comes an announcement that my key is invalid. I think this is due to the fact that the notebooks have a kind of protection and therefore only the Vista version functions which was from the outset on the notebook.
I think it really sadly that there are no drivers for WXP.
Nevertheless, the choice of the operating system should be with the customer: (
@ZiglioNZ
I do not believe that I still own this partition. As this activation came I had to develop the hard disk and delete completely. Otherwise I could not even have installed any more WXP.
Nevertheless, already thanks:)
I hope somebody has one more idea
