• Restore CD for XP in combination with double HDD on Satellite Pro P300

  On my Satellite Pro P300, there are two hard drives, two 160 GB.
  Currently, Windows Vista Professional is installed, as it was preinstalled.
  On the first disc, there are 3 partitions, an EISA partition, a partition to boot Vista and a partition for HHDRecovery (contains the image for Vista product Recovery).

  In Vista, there is an option for backing up the computer. This offers the ability to completely restore Vista to the situation at the time of the backup.
  I did a full backup the first complete hard drive (partition 3) PC and saved on the hard disk of the second.

  Now, I want to use the recovery provided product Toshiba for Windows XP to install Windows XP on the laptop.
  I guess that the first hard drive will be completely crushed, but I don't know if the second disc will also be replaced.
  Does anyone know if my data on the second drive will be lost when using the product for XP Recovery?

  I want to keep the data on the second drive, because it gives me the option to restore the laptop to the situation with Vista without reinstalling/activate applications.
  Also all my personal files are on this drive.

  I doubt that installing XP should touch the 2nd HARD drive, but for peace of mind, you can temporarily remove the 2nd HARD drive before installing XP.

• Satellite Pro P300-26U - can I use a second HDD?

  Satellite P300 obligations food raid0 and double HARD drive. All models? Manual of 26U don't say a word on the subject. Model as P300-1BP has double HARD drive.
  Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.

  Hi mate,

  Who said that the Satellite Pro P300 takes supported RAID? AFAIK P300 series don't have RAID controller and in the specifications detailed on the Web from Toshiba site I can't find anything about this

  Satellite P300 it of only possible to use a second HDD if it has a second HARD drive connector. You can check it if you remove the second HARD drive. If you can see a second HARD drive connector, you can use a second HDD.

• Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - how to install a second HDD?

  Hello

  I would like to install a second hard drive to my Satellite Pro P300-1F1.

  I would like to know if I need a "cellar" special to set the hard drive inside the Bay? Where could I get such a thing in Germany (near Cologne)?

  On the inside of the drive Bay cover HARD are four plastic pins that are so long that it is impossible to close the cover when a hard drive is built in.
  What I have to just shorten or do I need a new cover or pins work like a kind of attachment?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Is there a connector from the HARD drive in the second span?

  If this isn't the case, then you can not install a HARD drive in any case. The second span is because he shares a common design with models that have a second HDD of the factory.

• Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - mounting additional HARD disk

  Hello

  I'm hoping to add an extra hard drive to my satellite pro p300-1f1 laptop. I know that he has an extra compartment and it has a sata connector, so I know it's possible. But I need a support or mount or a caddy/adapter to the hard drive in place of the crew. When I contacted the Dutch Office of toshiba, they said that they did not support it and do not have this part. And the manual of the user on the site Web there says nothing about this compartment.

  I hope that one of you may know part whitch I need (the second compartment of the hard drive need to another mount/support/caddy/adapter then the hard drive that is already installed.

  I live in Holland, so no response with the Dutch dealers or websites would be great but uk / us is also appreciated.

  Update: here are some photos I did inside the compartment. Maby he helps :) ([Fig 1 | http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8240/dsc01104h.jpg]) ([photo 2 | http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/585/dsc01102s.jpg]) ([photo 3 | http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/2536/dsc01101l.jpg])

  Hi Thijsm,

  If you have a second HARD drive connector, you can add a second HDD. But as you wrote, you need a shopping cart to install it.

  I put t know you contacted exactly, but on the Toshiba site, you will find a list of all ASP s:

• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  Aernout

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

  How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

  Because you talk about audio driver Realtek and sound chip and my knowledge, that the Satellite Pro P300 was equipped with the audio chip Conexant!

• Occasional Satellite Pro P300-1FP - gel during video playback

  Hello forum,.

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1FP, age about 4 years old.

  Running Windows 7 (32-bit version).

  An occasional but annoying problem: when playing video, from time to time the whole system freezes. Sound continues to come from the speakers, but it is usually either an idle down & distorted version of what I should be heard, or a noise buzzing/scream loud, repetitive.

  System retrieves ever - only freezes completely, unresponsive, frozen display, the mouse pointer moves, etc.. Have to restart every time.

  Anyone know what could be the cause of this & how can I fix this?

  Thank you
  Alan.

  As far as I know SP P300 works well with Win7 32 bit. My brother has the same machine and use it with Win7 too. We checked often performance with different games or playing different videos, mostly from avi or mpeg files. Also very good race and YouTube videos smoothly, so I really don t understand why you have this problem of gel.

  Have you installed the Toshiba download page display driver?
  HARD drive is extremely busy before that happens?

  The same thing happens when you play games?

• Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
  Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
  The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

  Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

  I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
  The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

  I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

  Any advice on how to remedy this?

  Hello

  If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
  Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

  But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
  Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
  If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.

• Satellite Pro P300 best exit way to get audio for blu - ray player or projector

  Hello

  Would be great if someone has experience on the following points.

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - PSPCDA 03 P00D: I would like to know the best option for high-quality audio from this unit to a blu - ray player or an optoma projector. (Or a good way to find the answer)

  The blu - ray player has hdmi (the satellite does not work) and the optoma projector has a 3.5 mm mini-plug.

  The satellite has a sound piece dolby - is it possible to get a feed for audio output dolby?

  Any thought / experience welcome.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Not sure but I think that the headphone socket supports S/PDIF
  I think you should check the user manual for more information on S/PDIF
  If his support, then you can use it to get the best audio quality

  Also found this doc in the knowledge base of Toshiba

  Hello

  The European driver Toshiba page provides two audio Conexant drivers for this model of laptop.
  + Driver sound + 4.36.10.0
  + Driver sound + 4.83.1.0

  I recommend the new version 4.83.1.0
  Uninstall the old driver first in the Device Manager.

  Restart the device and install the new downloaded drivers.

  Hope this helps to get better sound quality :)

• Satellite Pro P300 BIOS not only flash through recovery CD en

  Hi people

  I tried to update my BIOS on my laptop Satellite pro P300 series, and it seems to have gone wrong. I have now read a lot about the winphlash version goes wrong. I managed to create a recovery CD, and it starts the procedure of flash and works almost to the end, but then shuts down and restarts. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I don't know that I have the correct procedure and BIOS recovery. I can boot my laptop with Ubuntu, but I really don't want to get rid of my windows installation.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  This, to a Windows operating system installed.

• Satellite Pro P300 - update graphic card and CPU

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

  I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

  Hello

  Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

  In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.
