That's Eno


My Toshiba Satellite laptop has crashed AGAIN. Can I buy a new hard drive and use my factory recover disks to reinstall everything 'out of the box' settings and software?

I guess my real question is, does the recovery disk have windows vista on it and if I buy a new blank hard drive will the recovery disk work? Or does it have to verify the existing hard drive in order to reinstall everything?



Answer
You should be able to do a system restoration on a new hard drive. However, from Vista onward, the system restoration has been included in a partition on the hard drive itself. I recently restored a Vista system for a friend off that partition. You may want to try that first.

How to increase speaker volume on Toshiba Satellite L505?




Ty Duges


I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L505 and the speakers are not as loud as i had hoped. You can hear them, but they are no where near as loud as most laptops are, and i like listening to music on it which is almost impossible without headphones. I have checked everything possible to increase the volume, and it is as loud as it can possibly get as far as i can tell. Is there anyway i can make these speakers louder without buying external speakers?


Answer
welcome to the fold .... toshiba uses the best speakers (harmon kardon) but then puts in a cheep Yamaha soundcard we all have low sound due to this and external amplified speakers are the only way to fix the problem

How do I correctly set up display for my Toshiba Satellite laptop after plugging in a VGA cable?

I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 and I'm trying to correctly set up display for the HD T.V I plugged it into with my VGA cable. Every time I try, it either doesn't work, or all it says is Toshiba with my starting up picture in the back round on the T.V screen.


Answer
You need to tell your laptop that an external monitor is connected. You need to use the function keys to do this. For example... on my HP laptop, I have to press {fn} + {f4} (hold down fn, then press f4) to activate my VGA output. My f4 key has a picture of a monitor on it to show me that it is the right key. If I hit it more than once, it will toggle between laptop only, external monitor only, and both on at the same time.

Since you have a Toshiba, your VGA output key might not be f4. Look at the function keys at the top of your keyboard for a picture of a monitor. That is the right key.
