Re: Satellite L300-18D - How can I get a Vista Restore disk?

Hi everyone
My laptop (Satellite L300-18D) was seriously infected by viruses, everything corrupted. I need to resinstall Vista but don't have the restore disk. After searching around I managd to download a restore disk from some site, but when I used this disk, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that will work with my OEM product key.
How can I get this restore disk that will work with my OEM licence?
Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying it could not detect the hard disk, there is nothing wrong with the hard disk, I have tested it on another laptop. Is there any sort of barrier o installing XP on this laptop which came with Vista originally. Is there a security meassure somewhere that stoped me from installing XP?
Thanks in advance

Hi
The original Toshiba recovery disk can be purchased here:

My MacBook Pro doesn't accept CDs or DVDs anymore, but it did when I bought it 2 years ago. How can I get it to read disks again?

My quess is that the new software just doesn't allow the disk drive to work. I would love an explanation why this doesn't work and some help getting it to work. It's really frustrating because I get a bunch of CDs from work and never get to listen to them on my MacBook.

Make sure the discs are free of finger prints. The optical drive cannot read a disc with smudges and dust.
Check Finder > Preferences > General
Make sure: CDs, DVDs, and iPods, is selected.

How can i get my icloud restored back to a previous date

Does anyone know how I can get my icloud restored back to a week ago? My two separate apple iPhones had their iCloud accounts merged and I got my personal accounts and work accounts merged. When trying to split them back up again, I deleted all my contacts on icloud and now I can't get them back. can i get my icloud restored? I restored my phone, but that didn't work. Thanks for your help.

A partition is just a section of the disk set aside for a particular purpose. In this case, we're talking about a Mac partition and a Windows partition. They have different formats, which is how the data is stored. The disks that came with your Mac will create the Mac partition when you install, but most likely you'll lose the Windows partition. You've got kind of a mess at this point. What you should do is install the Mac OS and get everything as you want it. Then run Bootcamp to create a Windows partition and let Bootcamp do the Windows installation for you. Grant gave you good advice earlier. Don't let Windows do any partitioning. That's how you got into this mess.

Satellite L300-19U - How can I reinstall Vista without working DVD drive?

Hello
I have a big problem with my notebook Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.
I did installed 1month ago Windows XP on it and now is my DVD-ROM broken, it didn't read DVD just CD's. So I can't use my Vista recovery DVD to reinstall Vista. Did anyone had the same problem?
I heard there is a partition (hiden) where the recovery is on it. How I can find this partition? And if I find her, can I boot directly from the partition to recover Vista? If no,is there a other chance to recover it?
Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

Hi!
The hidden partition that you mean is a Windows Vista feature but you cant restore Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.
Restoring Vista without recovery disk is only possible if Vista is still installed on it. Then you can go in the advanced boot menu and select repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
But as I said only possible with installed Vista.
Just one question: Why do you dont go to an authorized service provider? If your notebook is still under warranty you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should only take few days and then you are able to install Vista again! :)

Satellite L300-1AM - Where can I get drivers for Windows 7?

How in the title
From where can I download drivers for Windows 7 RTM (32bit) for Toshiba Satellite L300-1AM? Is it possible anyway? I see on the website only drivers for Vista/XP/OS independent.
Which of them are compability with Win7?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
>I see on the website only drivers for Vista/XP/OS independent.
>Which of them are compability with Win7?
The drivers for Windows Vista are compatible to Windows 7 and most of them work on Windows 7.
So you can try these drivers.
But drivers especially for Windows 7 you will not find at the moment because Windows 7 isnt on the market as yet. You have to wait until the official release because some days or weeks later normally the drivers support starts.

My restore didnt work when i updated to IOS5, and then it was overwritten. How can i get my old restore back??

Ijust updated my ipod touch to ios5 and it didnt restore. i unplugged and reconnected my cable to the PC but when i reconnected it, it backed up over the restore i was trying to get.

You can only get your old backup back, if you included it into your computer backup routine and could restore the backup folder for your ipod.
If you have no other backups, your info is gone.
iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
iTunes will not back up automatically if you are using iCloud.
Have a new iOS device and need to move your previous backup onto it? Follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device.

Satellite L300-19J - How can I change the warranty registration details?

I live in Romania and I bought my Toshiba L300-19J from Romania on the 9th of February.
I have registered my Standard Warranty upon installing Windows. When trying to also register the International Warranty Extension, I noticed that there are some problems with my registration.
1. I have received a registration ticket via e-mail. If I click the link in that e-mail for registering the warranty extension, I am redirected to the UK Toshiba site, instead of Romanian one. The real problem is not the language, but the fact that the notebook model that I have is produced exclusively for Romania, so it is not available for selection in the drop-down menu available on the UK site.
2. If i visit www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails and enter the serial number of my laptop, it shows that it is registered, but the purchase date is shown as 2008-10-29 (which is one day after the production date). I have no idea why it shows like this and what this means, nor do I know if there is a way to change that information.
3. If I try to use the Romanian Toshiba website for warranty registration, it says that my serial number is already registered.
Now the question: is there any way for me to see / edit the registration details? The confirmation e-mail I got contains very few information about the registration.
Thank you.

Hello
As far as I know you cannot edit registrations data. What you can do it to contact Toshiba and explain the situation.
For contact use follow mail address: [email protected]
You must contact Toshiba in your country. Contact details can be found at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/contact_toshiba.jsp
Good luck!

HT5824 I've lost my iphone, it has iCloud back up, how can I get the data restored and on to my laptop without a new iphone

I've lost my iPhone and have not got the finances to buy a new one, investigating insurance options but only 6 months left on contract so may not bother, however I want to get all my info off iCloud but can't work out how to get it, I'm not very computer savvy to be honest.

You can only restore the backup to another iOS device. Also, Apple will delete an iCloud backup after 180 days of inactivity so it won't be there forever.

How can I get a stuck mini disk out of the slot?

I know that I am possibly the most stupid prson in existence however I inserted a mini disk into the slot of my 1 day old 1st ever Mac ( a macbook).
Needless to say from reading other posts here, and based on the fact that I cannot retrieve it I have discovered that this is a big no-no!
Is anybody able to bestow some sympathy on the village idiot, and offer some suggestions as to how I can retrieve this disk?
Thanks
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the discussions!
I have read that some people have been able to get those disks out by gently inserting a business card into the slot and pressing the eject button.
Do not put the business card in all the way. Hold onto it with your hand and see if you can wiggle it under the stuck CD.

Hello: My 4s phone turned off and when I tried to restore I got a 4014 error. What is this error and how do I restore the phone?

Hello Linda,
Thank you for the details of the error you are getting when trying to restore your iPhone. I recommend the steps below for error 4014:
Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
Restart your computer.
Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
Use a different USB cable.
Uninstall third-party security software.
Try restoring using an alternate computer.

How can I get another vista disc to reboot my laptop

Hi all
I had a system crash about a year ago due to a virus and one of my friends wiped my laptop and installed xp saying it was better than vista.
However, I have had nothing but bother with it for about 6 months now it just doesn't work the same and obviously I can't update the system either.
I have hunted for the vista discs that came with the laptop but I can't find them anywhere and it will cost me a small fortune for a shop to reinstall vista for me even though I have my product key.
Is there anyway I can get this disc from toshiba or Microsoft to reinstall?
Thanks
Ang

Hi afraser1,
Normally you have to create the Toshiba recovery disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but now its too late for this.
So you can order a recovery disk from Toshiba directly as already written or you use a Microsoft disk to install Windows. After this you can download and install all drivers and tools from official Toshiba website.
