Change computer model
« on: September 12, 2007, 07:13:10 AM »
I lost my recovery disk for my laptop (toshiba) I got a new one from toshiba but it was for a different model, they dont have my model as it came from the USA. Is there a way of making my computer think it is a different model?
Thanks for any feed back.

    Look HERE for your model and see if you can find anything useful. They may have sent you disk for a model sold only in Japan.

    I got my laptop in USA back in 2004 while I was over there for work but now that I am home in Australia. The model I got was not sold here and Toshiba Austraila sold me a disk for a different model when I told them about this they told me that I would have to ring Toshiba in the US, I have been able to find an email for Toshiba USA.

    Contact Toshiba

    I'll also see what I can find as far as recovery media goes...

    UPDATE:

    You may run into a little trouble when it comes to finding recovery software for your Toshiba...due to its age.

    A recommendation would be to decide what Operating System your computer can handle and install it.

    If you have problems finding drivers for your computer, you can locate them here.

    Good luck!
