Help with Factory Reset on Toshiba Satellite C845

It's just a doubt.
I have a HDD (Toshiba Hard Drive 930 GB)
And i used it to make a USB Recovery Partition.
Now, with this done, can i Restore my pc to Factory settings (Startup and F12 process)?
I mean erasing EVERYTHING, and restoring it with the recovery partitions in my Hard Drive?

Oh! and another thing, can i use my HDD to save the recovery partition AND my other stuff like music and videos?

Yes and/or you can do it from windows. select the charms, then settings, change pc settings, update and recovery, recovery. The descriptions tells you what each option does -see picture:

Help With Factory Reset

I ran over my Blackberry Tour, rendering the screen unusable.
I can access the device from Desktop Manager, and I can run exe.Autoloader/factoryreset from the Windows command prompt.
However, this does not remove the Verizon phone number from the device. Verizon won't work with the phone because the screen is cracked.
What's the correct way to wipe the Verizon data from the command prompt?

Are you going to get a new device from Verizon? Once you get another device you can just dial *228, then choose option 1 to program the phone. that will move your # to the new device. Until then you can ask Verizon to suspend your number

Problems with Factory Reset on EPC3925

After performing a factory reset on my router, I am unable to log into the router in order to set up or change my wireless settings.
The default admin/password login does not work (I've tried all combinations), and I am only able to login as a guest user (blank username/password), which does not let me change any settings.
It is also stuck on bridged mode (router page is 192.168.100.1 instead of 192.168.0,1), which I am unable to change both due to both the lack of admin account as well as the fact that the factory resets do not revert it to router/non-bridged mode.
Any help at all on how to log in and change these settings would be very much appreciated -- thanks!

Problem with brightness control on Toshiba Satellite R830 [SOLVED]

Ever since I've been using Linux on my Toshiba Satellite R830 laptop I had problems with the brightness setting after wakeup from sleep. The solution I had found was to use a custom xorg.conf setup. Actually I was creating a 20-intel.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with the following content:
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
This worked until today. Now I realised that Xorg is somewhat ignoring this configuration file. I looked in the wiki and this suggested that any such config files should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. I copied the file there and rebooted. I opened a terminal and checked the value of /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness. Modified the brightness with the Fn + F6/F7 and checked again and it was controlling these.
But after closing the lid and leaving it for a while, and wakeing up the PC the Fn +F6/F7 keys started controlling /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/ which never worked after sleep. Somehow on wakeup the custom config files are being ignored. It seems this is related to the upgrade to Gnome 3.16. I'm using linux-lts kernel.
How do I make Xorg use intel_backlight instead of Toshiba for brightness control?

It seems that the culprit is /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-backlight-helper. In this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11910629 there's a procedure to patch the source file (for an older version). There's a section of the code like this:
/* available kernel interfaces in priority order */
static const gchar *backlight_interfaces[] = {
"nv_backlight",
"asus_laptop",
"toshiba",
"eeepc",
"thinkpad_screen",
"acpi_video1",
"mbp_backlight",
"acpi_video0",
"fujitsu-laptop",
"nvidia_backlight",
"samsung",
NULL,
Patching this file, eliminating the toshiba device from the preferred list and adding intel_backlight to it might solve the issue.
On another page, https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-po … issues/135 they suggest another possible hack: changing the priority of device type
file plugins/power/gsd-backlight-helper.c
/* search the backlight devices and prefer the types:
* firmware -> platform -> raw */
path = gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "firmware");
if (path != NULL)
goto out;
path = gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "platform");
if (path != NULL)
goto out;
path = gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "raw");
if (path != NULL)
goto out;
Changing the order to firmware -> raw -> platform would solve the problem for me too.
Unfortunately I've never done any patching yet. How would I go about it?

Problem with factory resetting Airport Express

I am trying to do a hard factory reset my airport express. I want to reset it to the factory default so that I can change the settings so that it connects to my comcast wirless modem. I followed the instructions on the apple support site. I held the reset button will the device was unplugged and then plugged it in while still holding the reset button. I held it until the green light flashed four times. But the stupid thing will not reset at all. Just the same blinking orange light. No green light. And of course, non identifiable on airport admin utility. This is really frustrating. Anyone know how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I have the exact problem described by AKAPLG. I've tried EVERYTHING with no good result.
- My network does NOT show up in AirPort Utility (and even the old Airport Admin Utility)
- Even after hard reset I can still see the old name of my network but am still unable to join it.
- I've tried connecting directly with Ethernet to my MacBook Pro, but it is unclear what I'm supposed to do next, the manual doesn't mention this at all. When it's connected I do not see my AX in the AirPort Utility menu when I rescan.
- The "Factory Reset" described by the booklet that came with the 802.11n device is inconsistent with what I see when I try it. I get a single green blink followed by a long solid yellow (sorry Amber) followed by blinking amber. I never see 4 green blinks, as described.
This is the worst Apple experience I've ever had. Period. Any more advice please before I take this POS back to the store and trade it for a punch in the ribs or a hot stick shoved in my eye?

Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A60

I have toshiba satellite A60 and I need to know steps of reformatting the hard drive and installing Winxp. what do i need and how?
also..how can i save all the files and emails on Microsoft outlook? i'm not well experienced with this.

Hi,
the installation of XP is very simple. You just have to put the CD in and start the installation, the installation wizard is guiding you through the whole process. A little advice: when it comes to partition the drive, you should delete the old partition, create a new one and format it with ntfs. Dont worry the installation wizard will guide you very detailed trough that process so it will go very easily.
Regarding your backup:
Thats my way to backup my files:
I have a external USB-HDD drive and I put all my files on it so I can copy them back after I install a new system. To save your outlook you can check this site:
http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/outlook.htm
They describe very nice how to backup you outlook.
Good luck

Hi,
So, you want a separate total whenever there's an 'ACT'. That's what PARTITION BY is for. You need to add the number of ACTs already encountered (which I called act_cnt) to the PARTITION BY clause that gets you the SUM.
We can get act_cnt using the analytic functions like COUNT or SUM, but, since one analytic function can't depend on another computed inthe same query, we need to use a sub-query to compute act_cnt.
Here's one way:
WITH     got_act_cnt     AS
     SELECT     stat, beg_dt, end_dt, dur
     ,     COUNT (CASE WHEN stat = 'ACT' THEN 1 END)
              OVER (ORDER BY beg_dt)   AS act_cnt
     FROM    t
SELECT       stat, beg_dt, end_dt, dur
,       SUM (CASE stat WHEN 'LOA' THEN dur ELSE 0 END)
         OVER ( PARTITION BY stat
                 ,                act_cnt     -- ***** NEW *****
             ORDER BY      beg_dt
           )       AS totl
FROM      got_act_cnt
ORDER BY beg_dt
;Are 'ACT' and 'LOA' the only possible values for stat? If so, the query above can probably be simplified.

Strange Problems with Two Brand New Toshiba Satellites

Hello,
Two weeks ago, I purchased a brand new Toshiba Satellite C55-A5300 from Best Buy. Several days ago, it began having strange problems and I had to exchange it for a new one. However, my new one is having the exact same problems as the original. I’ve enjoyed working on and troubleshooting computers in the past, but I’m completely baffled and cannot pinpoint what could be wrong.
Here are some of my symptoms:
Whenever the computer boots up, I cannot click on anything unless I perform Ctrl-Alt-Del.
No matter what web browser I use, there are certain things I cannot click on. For instance, I cannot click the X at the top right corner to exit the browser. When I go on YouTube, I cannot pause the video, adjust the volume, etc.
I cannot drag music onto iTunes from any of my folders or external HDs.
Whenever I try to download a program such as VLC Media Player, the computer won’t let me and considers the file “damaged.”
In Microsoft Excel, if I select one of the cells, I cannot deselect it; and in Microsoft Word, I cannot right click on certain things.
As mentioned, I had these exact same problems on the previous C55-A5300 that I returned. I’ve tried performing system restores, but they do nothing. I haven’t downloaded anything except the programs listed above. Plugging in my external HDs seems to somehow worsen the problem.
I’ve also tried using several mouses, but have still had the same problems. Perchance is there something wrong with my mouse settings, since all my problems seem to be mouse-related?
Any and all feedback is substantially appreciated! Thanks.

glad to hear it fixed itself

Working with Macbook Pro and Toshiba Satellite

My girlfriend and I are looking into a wireless router to extend the range of a router in a different area of the house. The previous router doesn't have reliable signal in our apartment/suite/room/whatever. My main questions are this:
Can I run an ethernet cable from the existing router, plug it into the Airport Express, and have it run that way?
My girlfriend's laptop (Toshiba Satellite, one of the newer models) runs Windows 7; will it be able to connect to the Airport Express? There's (obviously) no point in getting the router if it won't work with BOTH computers.
Is AirTunes as awesome as it sounds? I'm a big music guy and with my education-pricing/deal I got a free 8GB iPod Touch, anyone have any comments on how well the music streaming works?

Hello Riel. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I run an ethernet cable from the existing router, plug it into the Airport Express, and have it run that way?
Yes. However, since you will effectively have two router in series, you will want to reconfigure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge.
My girlfriend's laptop (Toshiba Satellite, one of the newer models) runs Windows 7; will it be able to connect to the Airport Express?
Yes, it should. The AX supports wireless clients that are 802.11a/b/g/n capable, regardless of OS.
Is AirTunes as awesome as it sounds? I'm a big music guy and with my education-pricing/deal I got a free 8GB iPod Touch, anyone have any comments on how well the music streaming works?
In most cases it works pretty well. iTunes uses AirTunes to stream audio to either the AX or an Apple TV. It can also stream to multiple AXs simultaneously. iTunes uses the QuickTime Codec to convert any iTunes audio source to Apple Loseless, and then, uses AirTunes to locate, and then, stream to these devices. If you want to stream audio sources other than from iTunes there are other third-party products, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil, that will allow you to do just that.
On the audio receiving side, the AX audio port is a combination analog/optical digital interface ... so it will support either type of audio for either powered speakers or an audio receiver.

DVD with dual layer on Toshiba Satellite L10?

Hi,
I've bought a Toshiba Satellite L10 recently. How do I know if the DVD burner has got the new dual layer system? It's neither written in the user manual nor on the DVD/ROM drive. There it says: DVD+ReWritable, whereas it says on the DVD I've bought: DVD+R DL. So if there's no "DL" written on my drive does that mean that is does not do dual layer DVDs?
I hope you can help,
Sunflower

Hi,
as far as I know the L10 can have only a CD writer or it has, as Quad says, a DVD Super Multi drive. In your case I think it is the Multi drive, which should be able to use DL.

Re: Satellite A500 - need some help with FN button and Toshiba programs

Hi,
The FN button, Eco button and other specialized buttons such as the one which opens Windows Media Player have stopped responding on my A500 PSAM3A-03P00E which runs Windows Vista. I can still change screen brightness with the FN button but no menu appears at the top of the screen.
Also the Toshiba programs which are meant to run at start up such as PC Health Monitor are not auto starting, even though they are selected in System Configuration (msconfig).
Bluetooth manager is however running at start up.
I have previously had blue screen errors however they are not a problem since I updated the BIOS to 1.5 and uninstalled Zonealarms.
Cheers

Thanks all,
All problems have been fixed after downloads of Toshiba value added package and the new version of PC Health Monitor (V1.3.2.0).

Help Please -Factory Reset Failed on HP Envy

Recently my laptop touch screen suffered from extreme "ghost touches" that made the laptop basically unusable until I disabled the human interface and only used the mouse. I went to a popular computer site that walked me through numerous detailed scans and determined it was not a malware/virus issue. So, I tried a system restore and that didn't help. Next step was a factory image reset using the recovery disks that I made upon purchase. After 3 tries the reset continues to fail. It always looks promising and gets to the "Administrator welcome" screen but then goes back to "software installation" eventually ends up at the "Restoration Incomplete" screen. When I try to save the log detail to a DVD it says there's not enough free space even though it's a blank 4.7GB disk. I took a pic of the log (attached) if that helps. On a side note during the "Software installation' process the frame blinked randomly and what appeared to be drop down menus opened randomly for split seconds in the background... none of which appeared kosher to me - but I'm no tech expert. I do have an extended warranty and may end up having to send it in but would prefer to fix here if possible. I love this laptop and am at a total loss here - thanks for any help/advice!

Help with logging in to my Satellite L10

I have a Satellite Pro L10 with WinXP Pro installed in it.
One day, when I started my notebook, a Windows logon window came up and was asking for a password. It already had my name in the username box but no password. I did not enter a password when I was using it or had this window before, it just suddenly showed up.
Whenever I try to enter any pasword it says, "The system could not log you on..." and when I just press OK without entering any passwords it says that it is loading my personal profile and I see my wallpaper but then it says logging off and just goes back to the Windows logon screen.
The Windows logon screen that I have has a name of "Log On to Windows" in the Title bar and 3 buttons(OK, Shutdown, and Options) and has a little blue square with the letters EN at the bottom left corner. When I click on options it just removes the blue square.
I just use this notebook to learn about computers so I have not yet connected this to the Internet and did not save any files or documents.
I tried restarting in Safe Mode, Last Known Good Configuration, and Directory Services Restore Mode but it still brings up the Windows logon screen.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot in advance.
