Hi fardei,
If you use the HDD recovery to reinstall Windows, your whole computer will not be formatted. Only the first partition will be deleted and thats all. Check the Toshiba document how the HDD recovery option works.
Using the Toshiba recovery disk creator tool allows you to create a recovery disk. Normally on the first start up where you purchased the notebook, you did get the following message:
+Important INFORMATION+
+your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. if you need to repair+
+your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly+
+from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer"+
+and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.+
+Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to ensure+
+hat you are able to restore your computer to the original factory installed state, even if your computer+
+gets seriously damaged+

Trying to repair iTunes on Windows Vista will not allow to do so except to uninstall it

Trying to repair iTunes on Windows Vista. Will not allow me to do it. I've followed the instruction to select the programme in control panel, the select 'repair', unfortunately, the only option available to me is 'uninstall.' Therefore, I tried to uninstall with a view to reinstalling the whole programme but it wouldn't let me do this either because the .msi file could not be found.
Can anyone out there help??

Therefore, I tried to uninstall with a view to reinstalling the whole programme but it wouldn't let me do this either because the .msi file could not be found.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

MSI 975X PROBLEM WITH INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS VISTA

I have MB MSI-975X PLATINUM v.1 withbios ver 1.3,processor Pentium D940 (3,2GHz/800/2x2MB),2X512MB DDR-2 667MHz,in the beginning when I start the installation on WINDOWS VISTA the computer is bloked od it is restart.This problem I solved when I put another processor INTEL 541(3,2GHz/800/1MB) whit this processor everthing is ok,but with INTEL 940 it can not be install WINDOWS VISTA .
I’m asking you for a new superstructure on bios update .

Beta 2 or RC1 candidate???? RC1 should support..........
Beta 2 is real, slow and you have alot of updates to DL, but both are pre-release products and will not work 100%.
Even when Vista is released, they will still be alot of hardware that will not work 100% and this is purely because software is always playing catch up to hardware.
It was only September, when Nvidia released some Beta2/RC1 drivers that worked properly........

SAP WAS J2EE server installation on Windows Vista

Hi Experts,
Is there anything latest on SAP WAS J2EE server installation on Windows Vista. In SDN download section I see SAP NetWeaver 7.01 ABAP Trial Version available with Vista compatibility.
Is there SAP J2EE server also available with Vista compatibility ?

The problem with J2EE is the support status of the used JDK. Sun does not support 1.4.2 under Vista/Windows 2008, technically it works.

I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition.

I cannot connect to the Internet after installation of Windows Vista Ultimate edition. For some odd reason, it seems my ethernet has not yet been installed to my operating system and I do not know how to do that even with the internet, I have the LAN cable hooked up to my computer but I do not know exactly what to do about it. Is there some sort of driver I need to install, or what? How do I do that without the internet?
This operating system is on a separate partition to my other operating system that is connected to internet already (Windows Vista Premium) that I do not wish to use anymore because of it's corruption. I tell you this because you may know a way of finding the driver files on my previous operating system that I may be able to transfer to the other.

Re: Satellite L300-PSLB8E runs super slow on Windows XP

I have a Satellite L300-PSLB8E. It came with Vista Home Premium. After I made my recovery DVDs, I made a SATA disk from the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba website. I did the F6 thing, but kept still getting a blue screen when the setup program got to the "starting windows". I changed the SATA from AHCI to Compatibility in the BIOS and then managed to install XP without the SATA Disk. What is strange is that the sound lags and the disk access is super slow. I ran a speed test program and it showed that the HDD performance is only 5% of the performance in Vista. I have actually tested this on another identical laptop that was downgraded and it had the same problem. Any advice? Is it the AHCI Mode?

I think your have simply used wrong SATA drivers.
The point is that you need the SATA files from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (if your notebook supports Intel chipset.)
So the SATA driver can be downloaded from the Intel website; search for Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
On the Intel page you will find a different packages; One with the .exe file and the other with dll files. You need the one with dll files in order to include the files using the nLite!
Last but not least check what Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports your chipset. The Intel page provides ALL details!

Satellite L300D-21P - Installation of Windows Vista 32bit failed

Hi!
I have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D-21P and now I wanted to install Windows Vista Business 32bit.
But the installation always stops at the point where the screen says "Completing installation ... ".
Do you have any idea what I have to do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Greetz

If you are using the Toshiba Recovery disk then you dont need to install SATA drivers.
If you are using Microsoft disk then you will need the SATA drivers.
But if the error message says that the installation is complete then the HDD has been recognized properly and you should not need the SATA drivers in such case.
> From where do I get the SATA-drivers?
It looks like your notebook supports AMD CPU and ATI chipset.
Graphic card driver contains the chipset driver and the necessary SATA drivers.
The graphic card driver contains the different folder and the drivers are placed in folder:
Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\Filter\NB

Satellite L300-13R - WLAN not working on Windows 7

Hi i am using Windows 7, it can't detect the wireless device, says i need to reinstall driver, the vista and xp driver wont install as they say they dont support my opperating system.
I currently have to plug in ethernet cable to get internet. I am using a Toshiba Satellite L300-13R PSLB0E.
Please could I have some help, many thanks.
P

Hi!
I think this is not a problem. Windows 7 is only a beta OS and at the moment the driver support is not so good.
Maybe you will find some drivers on the manufactures website from the WLAN card. In your case it should be Realtek.
Bye

Trying to install FF5 crashed my laptop. After several system repairs to open Windows (Vista) FF5 is now gone, but I can't open FF4.01. I just get a blank white screen w/ the FF logo across the browser window.

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit version on a Toshiba A215 satellite with 2 GB of RAM. I had to repair/restore Windows several times after the initial failed FF5 install to get Windows to start.

Sorry for the duplicate questions. My internet connection failed just I hit submit and I wasn't sure if my first question went through. I wanted to attached an image of what my screen looks like when I try to open FF.

Java installer in Windows Vista: error 1721

Hi,
I cant install java SE in Windows Vista. I get always this error:
error 1721. There is a probleme with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Anyone knows how I can solve it? I tryed with other java versions but I get the same error.
Thanks in advance.

If all else fails, your Vista could just be screwy.
If you're willing to go that far, and you've exhausted all other options, you could try reformatting and reinstalling Vista. (Or even XP, since it's way more stable. :D)
At any rate, this doesn't seem to be the file's problem, as plenty of people have gotten it working.
Have you installed any ... "distasteful" software on your computer, or tweaked stuff like a hardcore techie? Because it's quite easy to screw with Windows. :)

HELP!! iTunes installation causes Windows Vista Activation corruption

We bought a new Dell Inspiron laptop from Dell that came with Windows Vista (32 bit)= a legal copy. I have tried to install the latest version of iTunes. The software seems to install ok, but when it is finished, I get messages from Vista that the my Windows Vista may be counterfeit, that I need to validate it. When I try to validate, it fails and never validates, and the machine no longer boots up in normal mode. The only thing that I can do is go into safe mode and restore the operating system to before I tried the install. The end result is no more iTunes until I can figure this out. Has anyone else seen this problem? Everything else is working fine.

Try following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

ITunes installation on Windows Vista

Hi there. As everyone knows Windows Vista is already available in MSDN. I've already got it. The problem is that the installer of current iTunes version (7.0.2) doesn't want to install the program. The error message tells smth about wrong or impossible disk E:\. So please update the installer because I want to update my songslist in iPod:)

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
