Need recovery media for Equium A100 - 549

Is it at all possible to have replacement recovery media sent for these machines or a possible download?

Hi Steve,
You can't download a recovery media or image from Toshiba, thats not possible.
You have two options: You can contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to get an new recovery disk or you order one on the website who was posted by Mike30.
An ASP you will find here => Support & Downloads => find an ASP

  • Where can I get recovery media for Equium A100-549

    I need help please, I bought an A100-549 over the internet, it did'nt come with any recovery media.
    It now has a serious virus and I need to restore it. Where can I get recovery media for my laptop?
    Cheers
    perfecto

    Hi,
    where did you buy it?? On Ebay? If yes then you must contact the person which sold you the machine. If you have no chance to get such recovery, then you will have to contact a
    local ASP to obtain a recovery.
    If you dont want to obtain a recovery, and you have a genuine Windows copy lying around, then install it, download the appropriate drivers for that machine from the toshiba website and install
    them afterwards you installed windows.

  • I need recovery media for an old Toshiba but apparently can't order it. Help!

    The other day my TOSHIBA laptop - MODEL # PSM43U-01700P - must've got a virus or something because it started to slow and was unable to open some programs. Thinking the computer was about to go, i started saving my personal files onto a disk, and just after doing so the computer Blue screened and now upon start up it stops and says that it's missing a file <Windows root>\System 32\ ntoskrnl.exe and must have it added in order to continue. I of course, however, didn't realize that upon buying the computer years ago that i should have created my own recovery disks, thinking foolishly that the company would always have this media on hand to order should the need for it arise(Plus i doubt i would've done it properly since i'm not really a computer genius, surprise, surprise)
    Anyway. . .
    My problem is that when i tried to order the recovery media for this ancient model, i was told that Toshiba no longer carries this models media at all. So i was just wondering if possibly there's a similar model's media that Toshiba does carry that i'd be able to order instead of this model's that would still work with my computer. I was able to do this with an old DELL I had, and was hoping the same thing was possible with a TOSHIBA.
    I'm crossing my fingers here guys. Hope to hear back from you. I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • Need Recovery Media for Satellite A660-042 Model PSAW3C-042017

    The hard drive on my Satellite A660-042 Model PSAW3C-042017 died on me. I have installed a new HDD but need the RECOVERY MEDIA. The Laptop was purchased in Canada, Toshiba USA does not seem to have the Recovery Media for this model and Toshiba Canada will not mail it to the USA. Can anyone help? 

    Satellite A660-042 (PSAW3C-042017)
    All the stuff for your Canadian model is here.
    Toshiba Canada will not mail it to the USA.
    I'm really surprised at that. Toshiba in the US mails them to Canada for US models.
    Have you called 800-663-0378 yourself?
    If that's true, you'll need to have an acquaintance order the discs and reship them.

  • I need recovery media for my HP Touchsmart tm2t-2100 CTO.

    I purchased my Tablet PC in December of 2010.  It has worked great until it crashed in the middle of May this year (2012).  I was not able to restore using system recovery through the F11 keys nor my DVD's.  I own a full copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that I was able to use to at least have my PC running again.  My files are also backed up on an HP external hardrive, so I am not concerned about losing any personal files. 
    Need HP Recovery Disks: What I would like to do is purchase HP recovery disks for my laptop, however, when I choose this option from the support site, a screen returns saying the webpage does not exist. 
    Tablet Software for Touchsmart: I have been unable to find the orginal HP software that essentially acts as a shell for my tablet.  It allowed the laptop to behaved similarly to an iPad using an HP brower.
    Hardrive Partions: My hardrive now has multiple partitions, rather than just 2 : System and Recovery.  I am unable to extend/use portions of my drive.
    Warranty: My laptop is still under warranty.
    How can I restore my PC to out-of-box condition?

    Thanks for the feedback.  The weblink you provided is the one that errors out.  Below is the message that I receive.  I will try contacting HP Directly.

  • I need recovery media for HP Pavilion dv7-1285dx Entertainment Notebook PC.

    The hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new SSD. The recovery disks that came from the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy won't work. Best Buy said to get them from HP and they would reimburse me. I can't find out how to order them on the HP website.
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    The product specs for your model indicate it came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
    I do not see that you can order recovery media online for your model so you will have to call HP at this number 1-(800) 474-6836, and see if they still carry them.
    If not, you can still order a set from this non-HP vendor at the link below.

  • Need network driver for Equium A100-306 (PSAABE)

    Hi,
    I have completed a rebuild of XP OS
    The driver I download from the site has no setup.exe file it seems to only have a PROUnstl.exe file which uninstalls the driver.
    I can only see one "Network" driver called lan-20071009151457.zip the other newtork drivers are wireless.
    Can anyone supply me with the correct driver or download loaction.
    Thanks inadvance for you help
    Ciaran

    Hi!
    You founded and downloaded the right driver. You find all drivers on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    To install a driver you dont need a .exe-file. Look in the device manager and right click on the network card, now choose update driver.
    Then you can install the driver.
    Bye!

  • Equium A100-549 - no sound

    Hi,
    I just downloaded the sound driver for Equium A100-549 but my media player still doesn't have any sounds. What can i do?

    Hi
    You should also check if the Mute was not enabled.
    With the key combination FN+ESC you can enable and disable the sound.
    Like above suggested check also the sound volume controller. It sounds very silly but many people forget to set it to the higher level.

  • How do I obtain product recovery media for my Satelite Pro A100?

    When I purchased my A100, I was not given any product recovery media. I assumed that it would be pre - installed on a partition on my hard drive. Seems not to be the case.
    I wish to resize my primary partition to enable me to install linux on the space that would then be available. Whilst Linux will do that for me, just in case there is an error, I need a copy of the product recovery media for XP and other pre-installed software. Toshiba's contact details on the site are hard to locate.
    So I wondered if anyone can point me in the correct direction? I am a UK user.

    Hi
    If the recovery disk was not shipped with the notebook, then you should be able to create an recovery disk using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I think you didnt read the user manual after you have received the notebook
    Anyway usually the Recovery disk could be ordered here:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But not all recovery disks would be available especially if the notebook series has been discontinued this means that you could not order a recovery disk if the notebook series is too old You could also try to contact an local ASP (service partner) in your country for a help and could try to order such disk there.
    Otherwise you have to use an original MS Windows disk all needed drivers are downloadable from the Toshiba European driver page.

  • Equium A100-549 wont boot properly

    On the other day, my Equium A100-549 suddenly couldn't be booted. When the power is ON, there is no anything coming out on the screen (totally dark!). I have noticed the hard derive's light is not on, though the other lights are on.
    I tried to boot with the recovery CD, but nothing came out, even F12 or "C" was pressed following the power on press.
    I am suspecting that there would be a malfunction of the hard drive, but no any experience to judge this.
    It would very appreciated for any advice.
    Cheers.
    Ning

    I'm sure it's not a HDD malfunction.
    If the HDD would malfunction, then you would receive an error message that the OS cannot be booted up or something like that.
    If you don't see anything on the display and if the Toshiba splash screen does not appear too, then I??ve got a bad news for you buddy.
    In most cases the motherboard fault causes such issue. :(
    But this is only a suggestion and maybe you are a lucky guy and a cheaper part instead of mobo could be faulty.
    The ASP can answer such questions... therefore my recommendation is to contact the authorized service provider in your country and to ask for the notebook check.
    Hope the best...
    Best regards

  • Recovery Media for Windows 7

    Hello everyone. 
    I want to buy a Satellite Pro L450-EZ1542.  The statement about the Operating System states:
    Genuine Windows® XP Professional (32-bit, SP3) with Recovery Media for Genuine Windows® 7 Professional.
    Does this mean that I will be receiving the "Windows 7 Operating System Disks" with the package.  Also does this mean that the computer comes with Windows XP Pro installed.   Thank you everyone. 

    That's what it sounds like.  You would need to contact ToshibaDirect to verify that though unless someone here has purchased one and knows.  This is just a bunch users helping other users, not official Toshiba Support. 
    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.

  • Can I replace graphic card on Equium A100-549

    The game ran very slow so i removed programs, pics an videos which I don't use, an tried again an there was still luck?
    I looked on the web an found that the game runs slow on my card drive.

    The card i have is ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M SERIES, an the lap top is a Equium A100-549? can anybody help may thanks chris

    No, graphic card cannot be replaced on the notebooks.
    Mostly the GPU chip is soldered on the motherboard.

  • How to get a Recovery media for Satellite L305D S5900

    I am a Ghanaian who bought a Toshiba laptop about seven months ago. The model is Satellite L305D S5900. I am also in Ghana. I found out from the documents that came with the laptop and your forum that I can order for Recovery media for it with no charge on the software itself.
    How do I get this Recovery media for my machine as I am in a different country? What are the things involved?
    Thank You.

    Your T500 can burn CD's at the least and if you can access Windows, you should be able to burn a set of recovery discs.
    Other than that, I suggest calling support to see what they can do to help. The number in the U.S. is 1-800-426-7378.

  • OS : Win XP Prof SP3 ... with Recovery Media for Win 7 Prof

    i. 2nd attempt. The 1st didn't show. 
    ii.This is my first post in this forum, so I'm not sure whether email Notification is automatically sent if there's a reply.
    iii. On Nov 22, 2010, I contacted Toshiba pre-sales Support for info on the same subject.  I haven't received a response yet. 
    Hello;
    1) I'm about to buy a new Toshiba laptop:
    .... Toshiba TECRA A11-S3540
    .... OS : Win XP Prof SP3
    ......... : with recovery media for Win 7 Prof
    .... Processor : Intel Core i7 - 620M
    .................. : 2.66 GHz / 3.33 GHz with Turbo boost
    2) What is particularly attractive about this model (at least on paper and as I interpret its specs) is that it comes with Win XP SP3 OS, and I can upgrade to Win 7, if I choose to and at my convenience, with what appears to be a minimum hassle.
    3) I have reviewed Jim's article at:
    http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Recovery-media/m-p/9148#U9148
    but still have some basic questions, and I'd very much appreciate your help:
    a--> What does " ... with recovery media for Win 7 Prof" really mean ??
    b--> What does it include ??
    c--> Does the laptop come with Win 7 OS software pre-stored on the HD ??
    d--> Is there a time limit for installing Win 7 on the unit ??
    e--> What if 6-12 months after purchasing the laptop, tried to install Win 7 and it failed and I ended up with NO OS ??
    f--> Can I go back safely to the Win XP Prof SP3 OS ??
    g--> Does Toshiba consider failure to install Win 7 as a major malfunction and would replace the unit at no cost within the provided 3-yr warranty ??
    Your comments and advice would be gratefully received.
    Kind regards.
    Solved!

    Tecra M11-S3450
    I'll take another shot, Monir (with the same proviso that I'm probably not the best one here to reply).
    d. Does it mean the unit comes with the 2 versions of Windows 7 (the 32 and the 64 bit) pre-installed ??
    e. Can one choose which of the 2 Win 7 version to use ??
    f. Let us say the laptop comes with the Win 7 32-bit version:
    g. What does " ... with Windows XP Professional downgrade" really mean ??
    h. Does it mean the Win XP OS software is there if you want to downgrade from the pre-installed Win 7 ??
    i. Does it mean ONLY the option to downgrade from Win 7 is there, but one has to buy Windows XP OS if he wants to install it ??
    d&e. My guess is that when the laptop arrives, you'll have the opportunity when you first boot to choose which version to put on the hard drive. They are stored in another (hidden) partition on the same drive.
    g&h. It means the same as before (except this time for Windows XP), that there are recovery discs included which enable you to restore the hard drive to Windows XP.
    i. Everything is included. You don't have to buy anything.

  • I need a Wi-FI driver for Equium A100-027

    I own a Toshiba Equium A100-027 with the Atheros AR5006EG Wi-Fi Adapter.The Laptop is running on Windows XP and I need some software to use the wireless adapter. Could someone help me somehow?
    The Driver had a Genuiune Windows Vista but it was working slow and I've changed the OS to XP.

    All you need is the right driver for WLAN card. Some special software is not necessary because you can configure WLAN using Windows WLAN settings.
