Portege 3440: Where to get Recovery disk & drivers

Firstly hello to everyone,
This is my first post and i'm afraid it concerns a bit of an oldey.
I have come into the possetion of a Portege 3440 netbook with the external fdd and cd drives.
The problem is the cd drive works via the network card port ( i think it's pcmia?)
I'm a silver surfer so not to sure.
Does anyone know where i can get the system disk for this machine and how to go about installing relevant drivers etc,
I am hoping to get it up and running using win2k but would revert to win98se if nescessary.
Sorry this is so long winded but hope you can help me.
Grateful thanks in advance to all.

Hi mate
This is very old notebook machine and Im afraid you would not be able to order the recovery disk for this notebook.
You will need to install the Windows OS using a Microsoft disk.
On the Toshiba European driver page you will be able to find drivers and software for this notebook.
You need to choose Archive in Product Type because the old drivers are placed in Archive.
There you will find USB-FDD Driver. When connecting the USB floppy drive to the notebook there will either be prompted for a TEAC driver (mainly Europe) or a YE-data driver (mainly Asia). Please check which of the two drivers you require by connecting the floppy drive to the notebook in order to download the right driver.
You will also find Companion Diskette. The Companion diskette contains programs to configure Toshiba computers with setup information and to test the hardware. It also contains files and utilities that allow you to get the most from your Toshiba computer.

  • How to restore the Satellite L25 - where to get Recovery disk

    Hi..
    I wanted to format my hard drive on my L25 laptop which currently has Win XP, but am not sure if I ever got a recovery CD/DVD from the person I bought it from.
    Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) would contain an image of the recovery disk or if I can get a recovery disk from somewhere or any other way to format the disk and reinstall the original contents of the laptop?
    Would greatly appreciate if you could reply back.
    Thanks.. Amare

    Hi
    Usually the older Toshiba series were equipped with the recovery disk and the Toshiba image is placed on the recovery cd.
    If you have a recover disk then you will have to boot from such disk to start the recovery procedure.
    If you dont have a recovery disk then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the OS and the necessary drivers could be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page.
    This is a US notebook and you have to search on US page for drivers.
    Greats

  • Cannot get recovery disk to work on CQ58

    Model Compaq CQ58
    Product number is C2M29UA#ABA
    Purchased 11/22/2012
    Windows 8 preinstalled.
    Turned laptop on and it came up with "No operating system found on HDD.
    I inserted my recovery disc's and chose to install operating system and drivers image. 
    It will complete the reformat...but while it starts to copy the files needed to reinstall the files it wil get to 16% and then gives the error message "Destination Drive not connected"
    I ran the hard drive diagnostic, chose the complete test as opposed to the quick test and it passed with o problems detected.
    Need help as this laptop is not even 3 months old

    Sorry about that. I should have caught it.
    Did you happen to have virus or malware activity as the reason you want to use the recovery disks?
    Download this utility from HP and run it. You will need a blank  recordable CD-R. It was meant for Windows 7,but it may work for Windows 8.
    it is meant to:
    Resolves an issue where Recovery Discs sent from HP do not work on a new hard drive or one that has been fully cleaned or "wiped".
    Enables the creation of a bootable CD that can be used with a set of Recovery Discs sent from HP to install software on a new or "wiped" hard drive.

  • Getting Recovery Disk for nw9440

    I was able to get to a screen to download drivers for this laptop with Windows XP, but I can't find where to order a recovery disk.  Is there a recovery disk available for this laptop?
    Also, would a recovery disk even be of assistance if I get the blue screen of death every time?  Sometimes it makes it into windows but dies shortly after, so I won't be able to actually RUN anything off the disk.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi clevelandjon,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that you are looking for a Windows XP recovery disk. It should help with the blue screen of death if the issue is software based. If it is hardware error then you might still experience it afterward. To order recovery discs from HP as Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • Satellite Pro A10 won't boot up - Where to get the disks

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 which currently won't boot up Windows (XP) as it says
    The following file is corrupt or damaged:
    C:\Windows\System32\Config\System
    The Tools & Utilities CD-Rom which came with my laptop has unfortunately been scratched and won't boot.
    I have the two System Recovery Disks, which are fine.
    My questions:
    1. Is it possible to purchase a replacement Tools & Utilities CD-Rom?
    2. If so, where from?
    3. Is there a way of restoring my laptop without having to completely reinstall everything and lose all my files?
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Stuart_2007

    Regarding the point;
    a) Usually it should be possible to order the Tools & Utilities CD-Rom but I ask why?
    b) You can purchase the CD from the ASP in your country
    c) The older recovery CD supports an expert mode. You can use this mode to choose the partition where the OS should be installed. In such case only this partition will be formatted.
    But listen dude. You dont need to order the Tools & Utilities CD because on this CD you will find only the Toshiba drivers which can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.

  • Where to get Old Oracle Drivers (for Mac)?

    Hi, I need to run an old Mac OS 9 application (actually I'm trying with Classic under OS X on a Mac Mini G4)
    This application needs the OCI library OracleOci73Lib.
    I've been searching it in Oracle web downloads section, but i can't find it.
    I've tried installing the newer OCI drivers, but these are for Mac OS X and I suppose Classic doesn't even "see" them.
    Does anyone know where could I get old Oracle drivers?
    thanks!

  • Hp Pavilion, need to get recovery disks.

    Hi there,
    I have been asked by my girlfriends aunt to fix her computer, which i've agreed to do. However on receiving the computer I have discovered that I appear to be in a long line of people who have tried to fix it. And sadly it looks as though i'm the only one who knows what i'm doing.
    The problems i'm having is that whoever has tried fixing it in the past has done so by installing an illegal copy of vista onto the machine, thus stopping me from being able to create the recovery disks using the recovery disk creation program.
    The hard disk is in such a mess with several copies of windows.old etc... that it needs to be completely erased, as there appear to be errors on the disk i'd like to lowlevel it.
    The recovery partition is still in tact but is there any way that I can get the recovery dvd's from this as nothing else is working properly?
    This is causing a few headaches I can tell you.
    Cheers if anyone can help.
    Mike

    Hello 2kmike, Since you did not mention the Model Number of the system, it would be a little difficult to advise.
    If it is a fairly new HP computer, you might try booting the system and when the HP Logo appears, start tapping the F-11 key and see if you can enter the HP Recovery Restore Utility. If so, select the destructive recovery method and the hard drive will be formated and wiped clean of all the previous data.
    It should then proceed to install all the original software and reboot the system, just as it was when shipped from HP.
    If you manage to get the system back as it was originally, you could then make the HP Recovery Restore Disk set for later use if you ever needed them, such as a hard drive replacement.

  • Re: Satellite C75-A-10W - - Where to get Win 7 drivers

    Hello,
    I recently ordered a Toshiba Satellite C75-A-10W and i installed Windows7 64bit operating system on it. I noticed that i miss a lot of drivers so I decided to look them up on the official website.
    I entered Toshiba Romania, filled in the blanks until ''Operating system'' - there i could only select windows 8 and OS independent if i wanted to look up for drivers.
    What should i do? Can you help me, please?
    Where can i find Windows7 drivers? Can I use win8 drivers on my win7?
    I really need some help finding these drivers.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi
    The Satellite C75-A-10W is new series on the market released with Win 8 system
    I assume that Win 7 drivers are not available yet. As far as I know Win 8.1 is a new candidate and possible the next bunch of drivers would be released for Win 8.1
    Lets see if Win 7 driver would be released for these new notebook series.
    In your case I recommend searching for single drivers at your own hand.
    Use the mini PCI database to get details about the parts and devices built in the notebook as described here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD0302U00000R01.htm
    You can also check some Win 7 drivers released for other, older Toshiba notebook series.
    In cases the built in parts are the same, the driver should be compatible.

  • Satellite L300D - Where to get Recovery Disc?

    My Grandson's L300D has got a damaged HDD which I want to replace for him.
    However he doesn't have a recovery disk and the recovery file on the original HDD are not accessable.
    Does anyone know if there is a recovery disk available for this model?

    Hi sisgen,
    > he doesn't have a recovery disk
    Its really hard to hear such things
    Why? That means you and/or your grandson didnt read the user manual. The user manual contains a lot of interesting informations and also about Toshiba recovery disk. You can find the information, that you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator.
    Anyway, now you should visit the Toshiba page for ordering a new recovery disk.
