Re: Satellite C660D-102 - How to copy Windows on DVD?

Hello people. I have bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660D-102.
The seller told me to copy Windows on DVDs soon to open the laptop. Do not know where to take the Windows installation files. You've encountered this problem? How can I fix this problem.

Hey,
I think the seller did mean creating the Toshiba recovery disk that contains an image of factory settings. In case you cant start Windows anymore or the HDD must be replaced you can use this disk to restore Windows with all drivers and tools. With other words you get factory settings back, the same settings as you purchased the notebook so its very useful and easy.
You can create this disk if you start Toshiba recovery media creator that is preinstalled on your computer. Depending on the installation you need some blank DVD mediums. I would recommend high quality mediums, Typ: DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. They work good and other users here can recommend them too.
Last but not least you should also read your user manual. It contains interesting information about this and other interesting things. Its also preinstalled on your notebook. :)
But its really great the seller gave you a hint about this. If you check other forum threads you will read about lot of other users they forget to create this disk and are not able to restore factory settings if Windows failed to start.

How to split Windows Vista DVD image?

I would like to ask how to split windows vista DVD image into specific size using Windows PE Tools Command Prompt.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
You can try the following method:
1.   Install UltraISO and Windows AIK.
Windows AIK:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=94bb6e34-d890-4932-81a5-5b50c657de08&DisplayLang=en
2.   Use UltraISO to open the Windows Vista DVD and extract install.wim under the Sources folder to the local hard drive, for example: D:\Vista\sources\install.wim.
3.   Run Windows PE Tools Command Prompt in elevated mode and type the following command:
imagex /split D:\vista\sources\install.wim D:\temp\install.swm 380
Note: D:\vista\sources\install.wim is the name and location of the file which will be split from. D:\temp\install.swm is the name and location of the target file. 380 is each target file size.
Note: Before doing this, make sure partition D has at least 5GB of free disk space.
After that, you will get 6 target files named install.swm, install2.swm, install3.swm, install4.swm, install5.swm and install6.swm in D:\temp.
4.   Use UltraISO to open the Windows Vista DVD. Delete install.wim under the Sources folder and drag install.swm to this folder. Save the whole disk to the local hard drive and we will get CD1.
5.   Open UltraISO and create a new folder named Sources. Drag install2.swm, install3.swm, install4.swm, install5.swm and install6.swm to the Sources folder. Save install2.swm to the local hard drive and we will get CD2. Use the same method to create CD3, CD4, CD5 and CD6.
6.   Burn the iso files to CDs.
The steps above can be a little complex. I recommend obtaining a DVD drive to install Windows Vista.
Hope it helps.

How to copy window from one smartform in sandbox to anotherin development

Hi Friends...Kindly let me know how to copy a window from one smartform which is in sandbox to another smartform which is in Development...Thanks in advance

<u>Source system:</u>
In the SSF editior double click on the window you want to download.
Go to Utilities/Download Subtree and save he proposed XML file on your PC.
<u>Target system:</u>
Open the SSF in edit mode; go to Upload and select the same file you just downloaded.
This will copy the window in the clip board (a message in the status bar should cofirm this).
Now go to Edit/Node/Paste; this will add the window to your tree in the left hand panel of the SSF editor. All you have to do is to rename it (optional if you want it to have the same name as in the source SSF).
This is on an NW2004s; hope this works the same way on older versions...

Satellite A210-15Y - How to install Windows XP?

I had Windows Vista and I upgrade it with Windows 7. Now I really want to install Windows XP.
When I put Windows XP CD in after a while I get an blue screen whit an error .
pls tell how to install Windows XP on my notebook and if I need some drivers to do it pls put links from whereIi can get them.
P.S. sorry for bad english

Hi
I think the problem is that you tried to install the Win XP without installation of SATA driver.
The A210 needs SATA driver in order to recognize the HDD.
You could also check the BIOS settings. There should be a option called SATA mode.
This can be set from AHCI to compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.
Please also check other threads here in the forum about the same theme!!!
PS: It's advisable to use Win XP including SP3!!! You can include the SP3 using the nLite software!!!

Satellite Pro L300 - How to transfert Windows on new HDD?

Hello,
I recently got an hard drive from a broken laptop bigger than mine.
I would like to put it in my computer, but I don't know what would be the way to transfer the installation partition (or even better also the windows already installed partition).
I will be able to reinstall linux in few minutes, but for windows... it's another subject.
Do you have any idea of the procedure ?
The best would be to do a mirror copy, or something like that for me, to just have to extend the size of some partition.
Thank you.
Pierre

Hi
I would recommend you creating an image.
You could create either an image containing only the content of one partition or the content of the whole HDD.
There are different image tools on the market. Mostly you have to pay for such software.
But you could also use an internal Microsoft Windows 7 utility. Its part of Win 7 system.
If you use Win 7, i would recommend this solution.
Here an nice Microsoft page about this tool and how to do that:

Satellite A200-17O - How to restore Windows to factory settings?

Hi
I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I do not need to back up any files. I do not have the Product Recovery CD. When I press F8 and click the "Repair Computer" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click the option to fully recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open up a window telling me to back up my data, then theres an "OK" button, and when I click that, the window will simply close and go back to the options menu. All I want is to get Vista back to Factory settings.
Thank you for your help.

Hello
Yes, normally you can restore your notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery option. Therefore you should follow the instructions here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
If it doesnt work you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk. If your notebook didnt come with such a recovery disk you have to create it yourself using preinstalled recovery creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?
Therefore you need some blank DVDs. I would recommend DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have good experience with these brands.
If you have more questions, just post again! ;)

Satellite A60-102 - How much HDD is possible

How much harddrive capacity used in this Laptop

Hi
The Satellite A60 is a little bit older series and I think the notebook supports the IDE HDD controller
Possibly the HDD controller would supports only 28bit LBA and this means that only 128GB would be recognized by BIOS.
I think a 120GB HDD should work but Im not quite sure if bigger HDDs would be supported due to mentioned 28bit LBA

Satellite C660d-A2k - How to increase display backlight using battery mode

I bought a new laptop, installed all the drivers and it works.
How to turn on the backlight?
It only works when I charge the laptop. turn off when it goes off.
If add the screen brightness to maximum and turn charging the screen becomes even brighter.
How to make led lights fixed, I have it switched on only when charging.

Hi
The display brightness can be changed using the key combination FN + F6 (increase) and FN + F7 (decrease).
Did you read the user manual? This is mentioned in the manual preinstalled on the notebook.
Furthermore you should also check the Win 7 Power Options.
You can find this in control panel -> power options.
I assume the notebook switches to another battery optimized power plant while you disconnect the AC adaptor. In such case the display brightness goes down to ensure longer battery working time. You can change the brightness level for this power plant too.

Satellite C660D-10P - USB Connect issue Windows 7 64bit

Hello!
USB drive is no longer recognized shortly after the start.
According to "Unsubscribe" or "Change user" again OK, but even for a short time.
Have no USB Updat found at Toshiba, a controller failure will probably be.
Can anyone help?
Greetings Harald

Hi Harald
Can you please tell us which notebook model do you have?
Do you use original OS version that you got with your notebook?
Maybe I didnt understand your problem description but I presume USB ports are not working on your Satellite notebook? Right? have you tested it with different USB devices?
When you open device manager can you see some unknown devices there or some hardware problems?

Satellite Pro A120: How to remove the CD/DVD drive

I have 2 main problems and can't seems to fully open case.
Does anyone know how to remove the dvd-rom?
But my mainproblem is the power swith ribbon (blue) has come loose from the motherboard. But as i can't fully open the case im using tweezers to try to recconect it.
Doesn't seem to want to go in.
Is there a clip on the motherboard connector or is it just push in? A photo or diagram would be useful.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

One question; why do you do this?
I mean why your want to open the notebook?
Fact is that the Pro A120 Satellite is not a old notebook and I presume the warranty is valid.
If you remove the notebook covers you will lose the warranty!!!
The CD/DVD removing is very easy.
Usually it is secured with one screw which can be found at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove it firstly and then it should be able to take off the ODD.

Satellite A350-12D - How to recover from recovery DVD?

Hey!
Recently i purchased a Toshiba A350 disc. I've format both the discs and went with a clean sweap install of windows vista. Now, a few months later i want to use the Toshiba Recovery Discs i made on the first startup, to recover my Toshiba laptop and set it back to the default installation.
With the tool to create Toshiba Recovery Discs, i had to make 2 recovery discs. The first DVD contains the Windows installation, and the 2nd DVD contains SWM files.
I started the recovery by putting recovery disc 1 in my DVD player and boot it up. After boot it installed Windows Vista, and it never asked for DVD2. After the installation, I have a clean Windows Vista, but no Toshiba pre installed drivers, software etc.
How can I recover my laptop to the default settings, the way i bought it?
thnx for ur awnser,
sincerely, Frank
null

Hi
Usually the Toshiba Recovery disk should contain the image.
The image is the package which contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers/tools and the additional software.
The Toshiba Recovery disk Creator can create the Recovery disk using the image on the notebook and therefore its not understandable for me and I cannot believe why you get only clean Vista without the Toshiba drivers and tools and 3rd party software.
You did everything right. In order to recover the notebook, you have to boot from Recovery disk and have to follow the instruction on the screen.
Thats all.
PS: I the drivers and tools are really missing then you could download it from here:

How to copy CD or DVD -- I have 2 drives

Is there a convenient way to copy a CD or DVD. I have 2 drives in my Mac Pro and would like to avoid having to create an image first. Thank you for your help.
Olaf

If your intent is to make a true duplicate then use Disk Utility's Restore option to perform a clone of one to the other.
Could you please be more specific? I tried above, was able to select the first drive as the source (of the restore) but could not select the second drive as the destination. Many thanks.
Olaf
