I have a toshiba satellite a105 that has a virus. I want to dump my computer and go back to the original factory settings but i do not have any disks. Can you help?
U want to reinstal the OP right?
Well, whitout a windows disc you cant, you hav to buy a new OP.
Drivers for you laptop you will find on toshibas site.
But before you do that, mail Toshiba and tell them that you lost your discs, sometime they help, mostly they dont if it is an old laptop.

I'm going to guess that you want the installation disks for this Toshiba. I can't help you with that as any unauthorised copies are not legal. Microsoft do not allow free copies of installation disks.
Toshiba sell the recovery disks for around about £18 UKP Call their technical support line to order them. Or you could install a vanilla copy of the operating system and download and install the drivers from
I have toshiba laptop satalite with 2 operation windows 2000 and HP windows running thus slowing the system down consiradably. Idealy would like to delete the windows 2000 professinal. Please help
hello. can you explain exactly what is happening.
Does the bios boot up?
Does the operating system start assuming windows xp?
Are you looking to recover previous work or a fresh install?
You need to make a bootable CD, put theToshiba DMI utility on the bootable CD; Boot from that CD, then run DMI utility to set the machine to match the designation on your recovery disks. That'll do it.
I'm not really sure what you are asking. If you see an option on startup that says something like press f11 or something for system recovery, then you can recover from the recovery partition--assuming there is one. You can probably order a recovery CD or DVD from Toshiba, also.
You most likely have a bad hard drive. I would replace the hard drive and run a recover disk to put your laptop back to it factory condition. if you don't have a recovery disk you can get one at one of the sites below.
Google "TOSHIBA RECOVERY AND APPLICATIONS/DRIVERS SATELLITE A100/A105 SERIES" to find the cd delivered with a TOSHIBA. the fourth entry shows what appears to be the real thing. On their webpage EDIT>FIND "A15" to locate the CD.
There may be others in the 355 Google pages listed.
On the original factory disk gives a TOSHIBA Phone number, 1-800-457-7777, for support. I think they sell the disk for @$40.
