Can satellite L300 - I play region 1 DVD?

I'm having a slight dilemma and would like to request a preview. I am owner of a Satellite L300/L300D and I have my eye on a specific DVD set, however its marked as region 1. I would like to know if he would play on my laptop without any requirement must be respected (basically I question whether it is multi-region).

I have not fiddled with the operating system (it came with Vista) or drive DVD Toshiba delivered pre-installed, etc..

Hello

Theoretically, there s no problem to change DVD region because you can change it in the properties of the Device Manager > CD/DVD drive.

But don t forget the region code can be changed 4 times and then it is not possible to s more, but in Device Manager you can see how many times you can change it.

  • How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

    Hello

    I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

    1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

    I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

    Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

    Hello!

    The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

    Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
    But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

    Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

  • Can satellite L300-19F - I change the Vista of French to English?

    Hi all

    I brought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19F
    I want to change the OS language french English full is possible

    If this is not the case, do I have to buy a new cd englsih for the same thing or can I get assistance from toshiba for the french to English

    Salim

    It is not possible to change the language on an already preinstalled OS. What you need is new DVD installations on the English language. You'll have to buy one. Toshiba has nothing to do with it.

    The software is delivered on the hardware and you have paid for a license only.

  • Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

    My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

    Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

    Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

    All advice welcome please.

    Hi mate,

    I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

    In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

    What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Can satellite L300-0HH (PSLB8C-0HH01X) - I install XP?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me if I can install XP on this computer? It's a Canadian model and they list only vista drivers (cough, sputum) on their Web site.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Of course you can install Windows XP why not? ;)

    I have Satellite L300 too but it s a European model and so I downloaded and installed all the drivers for the Toshiba European page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    There's the PSLB8E listed series, which should be similar to yours. In your case I would try, normally it should work.

    It would be nice if you give us feedback that it worked or not! :)

  • Can satellite L300-29V - I roll back to Vista after installing XP?

    Simple question: assuming I made the recovery discs, is it possible to erase Vista, install XP and then re install Vista using recovery disks? The laptop is a Satellite L300-29V.

    A big thank you in advance I can see no clear answer elsewhere.
    John.

    Hello

    If you created the recovery disc, you can do what you want. Why? Very simple: the recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings. This means that the version of Vista pre-installed with all the drivers and tools. It is him you even have started the laptop, the first time.

    You can install XP, Linux or whatever you want. Demarrer start from the recovery disk, follow the instructions on the screen and you go back to Vista.

    I hope this information is useful for you.

  • Can satellite L300 - 18 d - I create Win7 system recovery?

    Hi I just installed Windows 7 on this Satellite L300 - 18 d laptop standard. I am really a novice in computer science.

    In any case, there is a HARD drive recovery file reserved by the OEM from Toshiba which I use from time to time to restore my computer to factory conditions, whenever my laptop becomes too slow or infected by a virus. But it restore Vista.

    Since I now have Windows 7, is there a way to perform a recovery system directly to Windows 7 instead of Vista and Windows 7? The only way I am aware of this fact creates an image of the system control panel (backup and restore), but it takes 25 GB which is far too much data to store. Can I replace the recovery partition OEM Vista HARD drive with a recovery of Windows 7 one? The Toshiba HARD drive recovery file does that 4.68 GB against 25 GB for a Windows 7 system at the address image self-created.

    Anyone know of a solution?

    Kind regards
    Kristo

    > Can I replace the recovery partition OEM Vista HARD drive with a recovery of Windows 7 one?
    N ° something like this is not possible. Original Toshiba recovery image is not editable.

    All you can try to do is to clean Win7 installation and create the own image using some third party like Acronis software.

  • Can satellite L300 - I upgrade Vista SSD?

    I'm looking to upgrade a L300 Vista to SSD. Has anyone tried to cela and what SSD for what they recommend?

    In my opinion, you should update you with Win7 32 bit on SSD. A long time ago I installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. The laptop works much better with Win7.

    Upgrade SSD shouldn't be problematic. You can get the Toshiba SSD or some other manufacturers SSD.

    If you need help or assistance please let us know.

  • Can satellite L300 - I use the microphone as line-in port?

    On Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLBGE, there are too many plugs: microphone and headphones.

    I would like to copy and transform in digital music from my old analog tapes thorugh an audio cable and a former recorder. Before, I use a desktop PC, which was a line-in Jack (I use Sound Recorder). But the laptop has only two Sockets mentioned. Can I use taken mic as line - in one? At the present time, I installed Windows XP.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hello

    Did you check your user manual? I doubt that this is because there, I created the following information:
    Standard 3.5 mm mini jack microphone allows the connection of a microphone or any other device for * audio *.

    This means that you can also connect other devices to input for audio recording. ;)

  • Can satellite L300-B13 - I install graphic driver Intel Intel page?

    The drivers from the Toshiba at this Satellite L300-B13 site don't work very well for me when using an external display (blue screen and other).

    So, can I fix Intel drivers to install on my compyter? Toshibas OEM windows Vista does not allow me to install.

    The non-Toshiba drivers may be used ONLY at your own risk.
    So it of your choice if you want to use these drivers.

    But installation is possible from the Device Manager. You need to download the driver package first, and then you need to update the driver from Device Manager.
    Then choose Advanced installation and point to the driver that you downloaded!
