You can use either the HDD recover or the Recovery disk.
If HDD recover does not work and if you dont have the disk then you could order this here:

  • Restore macbook pro back to the factory settings, Snow Leopard, then back to Mavericks

    If I restore my macbook pro back to the factory settings with the OS X install disc, it came with Snow Leopard.  Would I have to pay to go back to Mavericks OS?

    If you have Mavericks now, why not just boot into the Recovery partition, erase the disk with Disk Utility, and reinstall Mavericks? Command and R at boot should get you to the Recovery partition.

  • Error restoring satellite pro A200-ez2205X

    I tries to reload software by using the disks I made off of computer. I recieved an error stating my machine wasn't a satellite pro. I recently found directions how to reload software from my hard drive. I then recieved a screen saying Wrong Machine! Now I can not use my computer. How do I fix this or who do I need to call?

    Have you had your machine serviced recently? What you are experiencing is the data in the DMI strings do NOT match that in the repair disks/partition. Generally speaking, I've seen this when a system board has been replaced and the repair center did not reflash the system's DMI. It's not supposed to affect the system, but have you flashed a BIOS yourself recently? A repair center is likely the only way to get the DMI reflashed.

  • Restore Macbook pro Retina 13' to factory settings

    Hello ,
    I need some help, i want to restore my mac to factory settings, now i already have a backup for all my data
    I 1st tried a internet recovery and i got a message saying "unable to verify info." (or something like that) contact apple care."
    I then took my mac to an apple store for help. They re-installed OS for me.
    But it comes with their settings and now i cant even connect to the internet. (which i have no idea why that is).
    And to make things a little harder for me im currently in Thailand, and i dont speak Thai,
    So language is a BIG barrier :-( . i know if i was in the States i can get it fix in 2 seconds!
    But thats not the case.
    Thank you for your time ! I do appreciate any help.

    Hello
    Well i tried both the recovery hd and and the internet recovery none work for me.
    and yes i mean is working, but im having difficulties with everything imessage wont work because it still has this other user's information i tried changing it .. i did and now i cant acces my imessage account from my itouch 5th.
    same with mail app. wont load it says my apple id is registered to a different mac.
    now i have to use gmail app for my mail instead .. :-(
    iphoto wont even open because it says "library not located please restore library"... (i tried getting my pictures there it says it doesnt recongize it)
    dont get me started with iCloud. its just not working.
    i justs want to see the "Welcome" intro on the screen like if this mac was brand new. so i can get the right settings from the beggining.
    plus my app store software (apperture, final cut, microsoft word, keynote, pages, the list goes on and on..)
    i can download them with my apple id. but then i cant run them cause it says they are registered with another mac.
    and i need all this for work. :-( ...
    but oh well ... perhaps you are right is because of the ISP... for this country....
    i'll try to find way around all this if i can not restore it to factory settings then.
    Thanks for your time :-)

  • Need help restoring HDTC610XK3B1 usb drive to original factory condition

    A program on my computer, unknown to me, reformatted my drive. I lost all of my personal files thanks to this, and using a recovery program, Recuva to be exact, did nothing for me. I do not know any other options that wont cost  me anything, so I am giving up.
    I reformatted the drive back to NTFS and ran into two problems. First of all, the drive will not show up in file explorer, however it does show up in device manager. Second, I cannot find any way to restore the original factory installed files and software on the drive. How do I solve this problem, and is there a way to restore these original files back onto the drive?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You don't tell which version of Windows you have access to.
    I would remove all the partitions and data from the drive and repartition/reformat it.
       See DiskPart.
    Maybe you want this software. (I wouldn't.)

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA: Need Lan and display driver for XP

    Hey
    please help me!
    I have just installed XP on my new satalite pro, but i have had trouble with the drivers.
    At the moment I have installed most but from this site i can't seem to find a driver that will help my network card, nor my video NIVIDIA drive...
    any suggestions would be very valuable

    The Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA is not known to me. I know only the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1, PSAE4 and PSAE7. So could you please confirm your Pro A200 series?!
    If you cannot find the single XP drivers on the Toshiba page I would recommend checking the LAN and the graphic chip which is installed on the motherboard and use the XP drivers from the chip manufacture.
    If you need an graphic driver I would recommend using the drivers from the www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com site
    Regards

  • Satellite Pro A200-1MI - Need driver for PCI memory controller

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-1MI(PSAE7E) having a problem with PCI Memory Controller on my notebook.
    When I go to Device Manager it shows question mark in the tab Other Devices and when I go there, it's yellow ?(question mark) and !(exlamation mark) at PCI Memory Controller. I took and downloaded all the drivers from your site:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    for XP but I am not sure what type of drivers do I have to install for PCI Memory Controller, is it bios driver or something else? I just need to know what to install to overcome that problem with my Device Manager and PCI Memory Controller.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello akibono
    I presume you have installed clean WXP on your notebook and now you want to install all drivers, tools and utilities. Am I right about that?
    Anyway, after WXP installation you must install all drivers, tools and utilities in specific installations order. After doing this everything should be OK and every hardware component will be properly configured.
    Please install all stuff as follow:
    WXP
    Chipset driver
    Display driver
    Sound driver
    Modem driver
    Storage manager
    LAN driver
    Touchpad driver
    WLAN driver
    Toshiba Assist
    Flash Media driver
    Webcam driver
    Hardware setup
    Controls
    And so on
    I hope everything will be OK.

  • Need ATI XP driver on Satellite Pro A200-15G

    Hi,
    I'm italian so my english will be not very well :)
    I've installed XP on my toshiba Satellite Pro A200-15G.
    I've searched the display driver for this model of notebook on this toshiba site, but i didn't find it.
    Where i can find it?
    Ah, another thing: i've installed xp without update bios for xp... is necessary to update it?
    Last thing (for the buyers of a satellite/satellite pro a series): what is the autonomy of your notebook's battery (in various modes and in various SO)?
    Thanks.
    Bye

    Hi,
    if you need a display driver then go here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    or especially for ATI cards you can go here:
    http://www.omegadrivers.net/
    Regarding BIOS: yes, if you want some things on your machine working properly then update your BIOS to the XP version.
    Hm, battery lifetime... should be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours
    But I am not sure, it depends from so many things.

  • Satellite Pro A200-1MN correct sata contoller needed for xp install

    hi
    i thought i had the correct file for my xp install on my floppy but the windows install still can't see my hard drive
    i don't have the recovery media hence this problem
    Satellite Pro A200-1MN
    PSAE4E-01R00WEN
    i have it as 82801 sata ahci controller and ich8m storage controller 2850
    it doesn't seem to like them though, can anyone help?

    Usually this option you can find in advanced BIOS options and you can choose between AHCI and compatibility. Option is SATA controller mode.
    Anyway, it is better to install OS with AHCI mode and have full HDD performance.
    Download storage manager and there you will find folder called F6flpy.
    There you will find ICH8M_32bit folder with WXP sata driver.
    When you start WXP installation use F6 button to load SATA driver. After doing this HDD will be recognized properly and you will be able to continue WXP installation.

  • "Common module" missing for XP on Satellite Pro A200

    Hello everyone,
    I received my Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) laptop with a Vista OS.
    I have made a fresh & clean XP installation on it using the Toshiba's installation instructions document.
    Everything is working fine except my Fn+F6 Fn+F7 Fn+F8 hotkeys for Wireless and screen brightness.
    I have made a few search over the internet and I found that page :
    - http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7401VB0003R01.htm
    Looks like that I need to setup "common module" installer in order to make work those hotkeys.
    But the problem is that the "common module" is not available on the driver page for XP ....
    If I change the OS type to Vista there is "Value Added Package" available but it's not compatible on XP ...
    I tried to download and setup a "common module" for Sat Pro A120 model but i got an "TVALZ" error during the installation ....
    Did Toshiba support forget to put online a "common module" installer for XP for Sat Pro A200 ??
    How can I make work my Fn+F6 Fn+F7 Fn+F8 hotkeys ?
    Any help will be really appreciated !
    Thanks,

    Hello darkmatterman,
    First of all thanks for you reply and for your tips about the Bios version (Vista vs XP).
    The first day I received my laptop on Vista OS, I already made a Bios update "the Vista compatible one". So my Bios is v1.70 actually.
    I will try monday morning to update the latest XP compatible Bios version which is v5.20...
    Do you know if it's possible to apply the latest XP bios upgrade on a bios which was already been upgraded with a Vista compatible version ?
    And if the XP comptabile Bios upgrade works, do you think that I will need to setup my fresh XP again (with all Toshiba drivers & utils setup order...) ?
    Regards,
    Can

  • XP via RIS installation on 32 Satellite Pro A200 laptops

    Hi,
    Can anyone help? I'm trying to install 32 laptops (Satellite Pro A200) via Windows 2003 Server Remote Installation Services. I've got past the problems with network cards and now have these working by adding the drivers into a $OEM$, $1, Drivers, Nic folder and thought that it might be simple to use the same solution to install the drivers for the SATA controller. How wrong could I be! I'm now pulling my hair out. The machines have the drivers installed in the same way ($OEM$ etc) in a directory marked sata. I have used the drivers from Intel's site - extracted to floppy disk and copied from there. Every time I try to re-image I get the same error "Windows did not detect any hard disk drives" and it's driving me crazy! I have edited risstnrd.sif, textsetup.oem etc etc to no avail.
    I found a link on Toshiba's German site for downloading drivers in this situation but the link is pretty slow I've tried to download those drivers now from three separate locations (3 different ADSL accounts) and each one starts off at about 36k per sec then dwindles down to bytes per second and then fails. (It's only a 21Mb file!)
    Has anyone managed to deploy these laptops via RIS? If so can you please let me know how you did it and what drivers you used?
    Many thanks,

    Hello Mark
    In my opinion RIS installation is pretty complicated theme and I am really skeptic someone will be able to help you. If you have some time try to use advanced search and check the results for RIS as searched term.
    Other way you can create your own recovery DVD and use it for OS installation. For recovery procedure you need about 20 minutes.

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4): DVD drive permanently blinking

    Hello,
    I have been using a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4) laptop for some time now without any major issues.
    My dvd drive (tsst crop TS-L632H) is no longer working for a few days now... More precisely, its LED is permanently orange blinking. Drivers are up to date. The eject button doesn't work either. No disc is inserted. The drive seems fine in the Windows device manager...
    If opened manually and if a disc is inserted in the drive, I can't see any data. Can't boot on the disc either.
    I'm running under Vista 32bit SP1 with the latest bios available on the toshiba website (2.40).
    Since I need to fix the frequently reported "black screen" issue before login prompt, using the windows installation disc
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks !

    Hi
    According to you page you are not able to boot from any CD or DVD, not even from the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Am I right?
    To be honest, Ive no idea why such issue happened but in my opinion its related to the hardware malfunction and only the replacement could helps
    I dont know how old you notebook is but maybe the warranty is valid and you could replace it for free
    What do you think?

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Utility Setup fails

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I started installing the various drivers and utilities downloading them from the Toshiba site.
    When I try to install the "Supervisor Password Utility" the setup fails showing a message box which says "The serial number is invalid".
    Same problem with another setup: "Flash Cards Support Utility"
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem and which serial number is invalid?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    Hi,
    You are having the same trouble as other people on these forums.
    If you want to fix it yourself, you would need to look at the disk image on the disk that came with your toshiba, figure out which version of the application was included on that, you might be able to find that version on the website for a different model and different country (for instance, on the canadian website, for a totally different computer than my UK computer, i found a version of the flashcards support utility that works with mine.) But i don't think its possible to see what's on the restore disk without instaling it, i.e. wiping everything off your harddrive in the process.
    It really is extremely disappointing and frustrating. If anyone knows a way to communicate directly with toshiba about this problem without having to pay some sort of support fee, I would be very interested to hear about it. It seems noone from toshiba actually reads anything from these forum. It seems like a real wasted resource to me....
