Unable to recover for Satellite 2415

Hello,
I am using Recovery CD provided by Toshiba at the time of purchase to re-install the OS in my Toshiba Laptop - Satellite 2415-S205. I get to the point where the following message appears:
“ERASING ALL DATA FROM HARD DISK 1
Creating partition for C: (FAT32 – NTFS)”
but then it stays there? Could someone help me how to proceed and what I should do?
Some details about the laptop:
Toshiba Laptop S205 (Satellite 2415-S205 NoteBook): Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor
at 2.0GHz with 256MB RAM and 40GB Hard Disk. DVD-ROM/CD-RW Multifunction Drive
SKU: 5263742
Part Number: PS241U-85143V
Would appreciate a quick response as I am sort of blocked in my daily work.
Thanks,
Anant

Assuming there is no physical issue with the hard drive, you need a boot disk (CD, USB) that you can boot from and manually prep the drive. OR You may obtain a cheap USB connector that you can use to externally (must remove drive from machine) plug into another machine and then prep it.

How do I tune TCP SYN resend/retransmit rate for satellite?

On a satellite internet connection MacOSX (and, I believe, iPhones) have excessively aggressive SYN resend timing.
The existing settings make iTunes and SSL based services (banking, email etc) unreliable and often unworkable.
Plain HTTP (most web browsing) gives the appearance of working because browsers quietly retry.
I have been unable to find a setting in Preferences or sysctl to adjust this. And of course there's nothing useful on an iPhone. It would be helpful if there was some switch for "satellite" or "high latency" networks.
Summary:
When combined with the (common) TCP accelleration in a satellite modem, TCP connections from a Mac over satellite often get reset right at the start when the connection is commencing because of a race condition between the modem's stateful connection proxying and MacOSX's excessively rapid SYN resends.
Workaround:
Running a proxy between the Mac and the modem (in our case, in our firewall) where the proxy runs on a more conventional machine with much slower (normal) SYN resend times seems to work around the issue by making the Mac's connection to the proxy, and the proxy's connection over the satellite connection. Because the proxy's host has better TCP behaviour, the connections succeed.
Detailed problem description and explaination:
At times, SSL connections (HTTPS, POP3S, IMAPS) and other connections receive a batch of RST packets just after setup, leading to connection refused or connection reset by peer. Depending on the app, you get an assortment of errors messages of varying vagueness. iTunes is especailly useless here, just saying an unknown error occurred.
For something that reports the OS-level error you get message like this:
socket error ([Errno 54] Connection reset by peer)
Generally, if the connection succeeds it will stay up. The failure occurs at connection setup time.
From running tcpdumps on my firewall when this is happening, the behaviour is as follows:
For background to understand what follows: a TCP connection is established by you sending a SYN (synchronise) packet to the far end. The far end replies with a SYN/ACK acknowledging the connection. You then send an ACK ackowledging receipt of the SYN/ACK. And then you send and receive data packets.
A successful connection looks like this (you may need to make your window rather wide):
16:47:47.896426 172.16.3.7.50142 > X.X.X..995: S 2233798023:2233798023(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 4,nop,nop,timestamp 1306458055 0,sackOK,eol> (DF)
16:47:48.597903 172.16.3.7.50142 > X.X.X.X.995: S 2233798023:2233798023(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 4,nop,nop,timestamp 1306458755 0,sackOK,eol> (DF)

So: the normal SYN, a duplicate SYN 701ms later (much too early), a SYN/ACK from the far end and an ACK for that from this end. And then normal traffic.
An unsuccessful connection looks like this:

A normal SYN, which gets repeated 703ms later, then 302ms after that, then 301ms later, then 302ms later. Then a SYN/ACK from the far end 2097 milliseconds after the first SYN. Then yet another repeated SYN from our end 303ms after the last SYN, then immediately an RST. Our ACK follows (probably already dispatched by the Mac before the RST, but arriving at the firewall just after the RST) and a PUSH with the first data. Two more immediate RSTs come back, presumably for each of these data packets.
By comparison, our BSD firewall resends the first SYN 6 seconds after the original, then even slower. Comparsed to 600-700ms, then every 300ms from the Mac. The Mac's resends interact very badly with sat modem TCP acceleration and sat latency.
There seem to be a few things going on here:
Firstly, something is sending too many SYN packets. There is no need to send repeated SYNs every 300ms. Certainly the best round trip latency over a satellite is about 700ms. The coincidence of the satellite latency and the first resend time probably exacerbates things.
Secondly, sending a SYN _after_ the far end's SYN/ACK has come back seems to elicit an RST packet. I think this is because the modem has established state for the connection because it has seen the far end's reply, and is rejecting what it now thinks is an attempt to set up a new connection using the same ports (forbidden).
Third, this happens more at times of congestion, because the SYN/ACK takes a little longer to come back.
Fourth, the immediacy of the RST packets seems to suggest the RSTs are coming from the modem. So it is probably doing TCP accelleration, and that is producing the RSTs.
There are two problems here:
Up front, the Mac is producing SYNs too often when starting a connection. This exacerbates the problem into something that happens frequently (when it happens at all). This may be TCP "fast mode", but regardless I cannot seem to turn it off.
Second, one could argue that that modem is being overly strict about rejecting the extra SYN. Probably better to pass it through to the far end and let that decide whether to RST it. The modem is doing TCP accelleration (which is fine – it permits better behaviour once the connection is established) but is considering the connection "established" too early. It seems to do it on seeing the SYN/ACK, instead of waiting to see the third packet (the ACK).
I also suspect this happens with plain HTTP as well, but that browsers hide it by retrying connections. The modem is not going to get fixed.
While I think I'm working around this in my firewall now by diverting all outbound satellite connections through a proxy, many users will not have that option, nor any ability to diagnose the issue. They'll just see "Macs don't work on satellite". I'm not alone; there is a scattering of posts on Whirlpool recounting similar symptoms on satellite with Macs.

Hi Peter,
Simultaneous scanning attacks can be achived when the attack is launched with a botnet. At that moment "n" number of systems are launching attack without their knowledge.

Eroor after ligin - Unable to Recover Previous State

Hi,
I have fresh eBS vision installed on suse 9.0,
1. I logging in to eBS home page
2. I traing to open resposibility and getting error:
'Error: Unable to Recover Previous State
Transaction context has been lost for the page you requested. This error could have been caused by an expired user session or a system failure.'
What does it means, how to avoid this error?
Tnx,
Edgar

Did you re-run all the updates to get your computer back to the point it was at prior to "initilization" (by the way, "initialization" really refers just to formatting a disk and not all the subsequent OS installation, etc. that you did)? It is possible not all components of your applications are in synch with each other. I could easily see this happening with Quicktime and possibly Safari. Text Edit is probably so simple that it is not trying to interact with other components on the computer.
Since Safari and Quicktime are easily available I would just download them and reinstall them.

Unable to recover deleted item in Exchange 2010

I'm on Exchange 2010 Sp1 and Outlook 2010. I'm trying to recover a deleted item from the dumpster and when I do I get the following error message.
"Outlook was unable to recover some or all of the items in this folder. Make sure you have the required permissions to recover items in this folder, and try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator."
I am the administrator and I fairly sure I have been able to do this since migrating my mailbox to Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2003. I've rebooted my PC. Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks for all the suggestions. That's correct. On my second non problematic PC I can login to my mailbox and recover deleted items without any problems. So same mailbox but different computer no problem. Actually I can recover a deleted item on my problematic
PC for other mailbox no problem too.
In regards to Mumin CICEK question my dumpster is set to 30 days. I tried multiple messages. Even messages that I had just deleted and emptied from deleted items. And again I can recover those same messages from another PC no problem.
In regards to the Windows profile may be corrupted I thought about that too. But what is interesting as using the same Windows profile if I login to a different mailbox I don't have any problems either.
I'll try fixmapi.exe as that seems like a good idea.
One last bit of additional information. My Outlook has hung and crashed on me several times of the past. It has happened when I've been connected to differernt mailboxes. From memory the debug mentioned something about a sharing violation. Maybe I should
turn off my anti virus to see if there is a corralation?

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5. If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version. Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html ( http://adobe.ly/1aYjbSC )
If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

Unable to recover Windows 7 Starter version!! Please help me !!

Dear All,
I was accidentally switched off the power cord whilst I was installing software since then, I was unable to recover my Windows 7 Starter in my HP Mini 1100 (Intel Atom). currently, I am trying to recover my Windows 7 Starter through HP Instant Web but to no avail !!! Please kindly help me to recover my Windows 7 Starter in my HP Mini 1100 ( Intel Atom). Please help......thanks......Beginner00.

Hi,
Here's an alternative option you could try.
You can use the following method to create your own Windows 7 Starter 32bit installation media.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the entire 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create Windows 7 installation yourself using another PC. However, there is no download directly available for Windows 7 Starter, so you'll need to download another version ( any one will do, but the link below is for Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit - the source is Digital River ).
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 32bit.
For the key on your COA label to work, you will now need to use the method described in the following link to convert this ISO to an all-version installer– the section you require to modify the ISO is Stage 1 Universal DVD ( although you’re going to be creating a usb installer, the method for modifying the ISO is the same ).
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/85813-windows-7-universal-installation-disc-create.html
Once done, use an application such as Rufus to create a Windows 7 bootable usb flash drive.
Use the Flash Drive to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Additional drivers and software you may need for your notebook can be found by entering either the full Model No. or Product No. Here.

Do anyone knows drivers installation order for Satellite A660-11M

Do anyone knows the drivers installation order for Satellite a660-11m?
I've got some issue installing Win 7 pro (wlan do not work properly,
freezing few minutes after laptop startup, unabling to run CHKDSK on C:).
Reading this forum it seems to me these aren't new issues for Toshiba users.

Hi, friends.
I've installed the the Flash Card Support Utility. In effect, now the function keys work. ;) <img class="emoticon" border="0" alt="" />
Unfortunately it seems that problems are hard to die. The Laptop, in fact, keeps freezing, tipically but not exclusively, after resuming from suspension due to lid closing. System can stucks during windows login or after a while that user is logged on.
During these days i've discovered that SPTD.exe x64 v.1.74 (Daemon Tools) and Nod32 x64 makes impossible launching chkdsk on %SystemDrive% (countdown stucked on 1 and hdd led blinked with very short ON state). However, even without installing those, it seems that one is not able to break the countdown (that windows shows before it starts chkdsk) pressing a key.
But maybe I should open a new topic for talcking about this.

Unable to Check for Update on OS 5.1

My iPad 2 will not update its software over the air and comes up with the message Unable to Check for Update. I have tried updating via iTunes 10.6 and it just sits there trying to contact the update server. I have also reset the iPad and restored from backup. Exactly the same problem!
Its nothing to do with the network as i get exactly the same problem at work as i do at home. My iPhone 4S updated to 5.1 without any problem. However my iPad just does not want to know.
Please help!

Correction. I started the update on my iPhone and my wife's iPad. However, they never finished. Each one returned an error message stating that the "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 5.1." I can't even get my ipad2 to get that far. It returns an error when trying to contact the server.

I just bought a MBP after my PC crashed. How do I set up my itunes library on my new Mac? I do not have a backup drive, and I was unable to recover anything from the trashed PC drive. Can the library be rebuilt/restored??

Finally made the switch from PC to Mac, after my PC crashed and burned. I Do not have a backup on an external drive, and I was unable to recover any data from the trashed PC hard drive.
Can I download my library, or is there a way to get my itunes content on my new Macbook Pro? I have almost 10 years of music and stuff on my iTunes, so I really hope there is a fix!
Thanks!

No backup is a huge mistake.

Hi Jon
According the notebook description you must be from Venezuela. Am I right? ;)
I really do not know if there is Toshiba some support page for South America but few guys from there have had the same problem like you. I can not say for sure if you can use BIOS update from US support site. I recommend you to call Authorized service partner in your country. They work with this stuff and I am 100% sure they will be able to give you right info.
The addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

Hi mate
As far as I know Toshiba European driver page does not provide any details what has been changed in the BIOS.
But I found some details on Toshiba US page.
It seems that Fn+N+1/2/3/4 debug function has been removed in BIOS 2.0 to avoid keyboard abnormal behavior.
