Just the fact that the m200 external USB Drive costs that much and is intended to be the only one properly working is deep shit from toshiba.
I´ll never buy Toshiba again >:|
Had no Recovery CD with my M200 and had quite some work to get it run.

Believe it or not (and it does sound far fetched) the problem with the Recovery DVD not working can be caused by the hard-drive label including one or more spaces!

e.g Label= ‘BigDisk’ - Recovery DVD works
but Label=’Big Disk’ - no joy

Toshiba ’support’ totally ignorant of this issue

I too have felt Toshiba’s sting. I bought a Notebook from them some years back in the Windows ME stage. The cpu was a piece of crap the screen had problems fromthe get go, was hard to see would fade out by itself during typing etc, the unit itself would overheat to dangerous proportions duting normal operation, and even when just in screen saver mode. I called Toshiba and I went threw the same isses expressed here but I refused to give them any money, I just bought a new one. The gresat part was the jolk was on Toshiba. I paid with a cheque and couldn’t make it to the bank to transfer the funds to cover it, thus when my laptop screwed up and Toshiba refused to help I didn’t transfer any cash so the store called and wanted the crappy laptop back whic hI gladly gave them. Then I bought a MAC, nothing but hapinesss.

I just got me a used M200 but were struck by a virus that killed my windows… and NOW i find out that my recovery discs are faulty And toshiba those idiots say that they dont have them anymore because of a agreement with microsoft. Microsoft dont wanted them to have any discs with XP SP1.. and guess what.. the recovery discs are SP1 and therefore destructed.. Do you have a replacement for them then.. noooo why should they.. its discontinued.. in other words “screw you silly customer”…

in short.. Does anyone have a M200 recovery disc they could send to me eventually ?.. (email, ftp, letter (will pay the costs), ect.)

rasas,

Please e-mail with a price for a copy of the recovery disk, My tablet PC has been great up until now when I need to reinstall the operating system, no chance of getting them from Toshiba

Thanks

I bought an M400 and the screen was on crooked. It took many calls before they would replace it. The next one had a broken pen. I took it in for repair (yes repair, because they would not replace the pen without inspection), and 2 weeks later I was told nothing was wrong and that they had done nothing. I’ve already registered a BBB complaint, and I urge anyone else with similar problems to do the same. I have dealt with Dell tech support, MS, Bell, etc, and while they are all annoying they usually do solve the problem. Toshiba does not care beyond the original sale.

I bought a Tecra A6. After 3 months it stopped suddenly. I took it back to the Toshiba reseller who told me that they couldn’t fix it but to take it back to Toshiba Mobile Care. I left it with Mobile Care after they informed me that it would take between 3 and 5 days to repair. I contacted them after day 2 and was told that they had ordered a Main Board and a CPU, that the Main Board had arrived but not the CPU. I contacted again after day 4 and was told that the replacement Main Board didn’t fix the problem but they would try a replacement VGA card (?). I contacted on day 5 and was told that the replacement VGA card didn’t fix the problem so they would have to try the CPU which hadn’t arrived. Mobile Care called me back later that day to advise that Toshiba had no CPUs and that they were on back-order for another 3 weeks. To summarise, it took Mobile Care 5 working days to interchange two parts and order a 3rd and it may be fixed 1 month after the problem. I have used Toshiba Notebooks extensively for a number of years and never had a problem but now I have had a problem I find that the service support is terrible…..how can one of world’s largest notebook manufacturers not have a spare CPU?

IF anyone needs a copy of the M200 recovery disk(s), I got them. My tablet runs perfect, all these problems I have never had. Well maybe the OS reinstall, but wtf why give it to Toshiba to do, when you can just do it yourself for free and quicker.
