• Satellite Pro A100-830 - clean install of Windows 7

  I want to install a new larger HARD drive in my machine and want to try Windows 7 while keeping XP Pro on the old HDD (just in case).

  All the world did this on this machine?

  Were there a driver or compatibility problems?

  The machine is certified "Vista Capable" so must deal with Win7 if the drivers are not a problem.

  You can install Windows 7 on this laptop.
  It shouldn't be a big problem.
  IF you miss a few drivers, then you can search for these drivers manually.

  This is an interesting and enjoyable instruction how to find drivers if you have an unknown device in Device Manager:

• Satellite Pro A100-830 with 4 GB of memory but the BIOS tells me that I have only 3 GB

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-830 and I bought the maximum memory for what is 2x2gb, for a total of 4 GB in my world. When I put the DIMMs in themselves in a slot, the BIOS reports 2 GB. BIOS Bravo! When I put both together, I see only 3 GB in the bios!

  I found this link on the Crucial site. http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.asp?QID=4251

  Suggest page files, peripherals etc. occupy memory on your system at startup, before the operating system is used I guess. If you do not have the maximum memory installed, you should see the total memory. If you got the maximum memory installed, you will not see the memory used by page etc. files. Why would it be? Why you would see 2 GB if you have only 2 GB but then see 3 GB if you have 4 GB due to the system!

  Anyone can shed some light on this subject and be eligible or reject the information in this link. I need to replace the memory and/or the pc?

  Thank you

  This is not a BIOS problem but a Windows.
  I found this info:
  Windows XP Professional 32-bit is limited to 4 GB of address space. If you have 4 GB of RAM installed, it won't show 4 GB in Windows. You will probably get what the size of your pagefile subtracted the 4 GB.

  Some of this address space is reserved for the hardware and the operating system... so you will never have access to the 4 GB maximum in any case. If you want access to 4 GB of RAM +... your best solution is to pick up XP Pro 64 - bit... but this will only work if your CPU P4 has EMT64. (64-bit)
  You can also try to turn on DEP if it is not already enabled... This will also allow EAP that can give you access to all 4 GB

  So finally a response:
  > Do I need to replace the memory and/or the pc
  -> No, everything is ok... you need not to change the hardware

• Need best driver of ATI X 1600 for Satellite Pro A100-830

  Hey

  I use my Satellite Pro A100-830 (PSAACE-00W002EN) for the most part to play my games, but unfortunately I can't. It seems that Toshiba doesn't provide good enough graph-drivers because every time I play, for example: half-life 2, I get this error specefied: internal driver error in IDirect3ddevice9::present()

  I tried to reinstall my computer all with CD distribution which followed with my PC, but this work of t is not a long time. I also tried to download than the latest ATI drivers, but they can not be installed, nor OmegaDrivers (Installable but didn t work).
  I use Windows XP and I have all the updates of 'Windows Update'...
  Just when I reinstalled my computer, I downloaded all Windows, then the most recent BIOS updates, and after that, I deleted the ATI driver that was limited to the CD and installed the ATI driver 'later' of Toshibas own homepage.
  (Not only Steam-games doesn t work, almost none of my games...)

  Please help me on these "desperate times." Would be happy if you could write the answer directly to my email address:
  [email protected]

  Hello

  To be honest, you are not alone in this and many laptop users want to have better performance and play the latest games which can be played with the latest and newest materials. If you have a portable way but want to have maximum on graphics performance.

  Sorry but I think you wait a little too long. We are talking not on desktop computers and notebooks. As a player, you understand without doubt that high-performance graphic has a result a lot of heat, and it can be very dangerous for the portable equipment (placed on the square). Using the most recent and better display drivers will require you probably to a graphics card to work under pressure but the result may be overheating or even damage the material.

  Be reasonable and understand that laptops have lower graphics performance and laptop manufacturer has only one priority: to protect the equipment. Because of this there not much updated graphics card drivers.

  I don't really know what games you try to play, but I tested my old M70 (also ATI) graphics card with several games (not later) and it runs good.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

  I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

  I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

  Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

  This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
  Thank you!

  Hi magicmat,

  Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

  Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

  So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

• Satellite Pro L40 - sound after installing Windows XP SP3 driver

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite Pro L40 about 6 months ago and the speed of the laptop is too slow with windows Vista. So I decided to install an old copy of windows XP that I had purchased earlier. I updated the windows SP3 installation before installing the drivers.

  Now, all the drivers have been installed correctly except the audio driver. I downloaded the XP version of the driver on the toshiba site, but it did not work. So I though that maybe the vista version would work, so I downloaded that. But that no longer works.

  Can someone suggest a solution where I can get the audio driver to work? Preferably without having to get the reinstalled windows again.

  Please help me...!

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro M70 - how to install Windows XP?

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 of second hand and I want to reinstall WinXP.

  I did not have the Toshiba Recovery CD but I have a my own WinXP disk. It would be OK to reinstall Windows with my own WinXP disc?
  If the answer is Yes, should what order I install the drivers

  Your help is appreciated

  Hello!

  In my opinion it's is not a problem if you use your own Windows XP to install it on the laptop that you can do this of course.

  Have you checked the Web from Toshiba site?
  You will find a document setup instructions for Satellite Pro M70. This is a list of the recommended driver and the order of installation of the tools. Check it!

• Can satellite A200 - 14 d - I install Windows 7?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200 - 14 d and I think to install Windows 7 on it.
  I put 1 GB of additional RAM.

  Is it possible to install it?
  And if so where can I find the drivers for it?

  Hello

  Theoretically you can install Windows 7 Why not? What do you think about this?

  But in your case I would not install Windows 7 because it s only a beta version and can cause many problems. Moreover, I don't see a reason to install Windows 7. I am still using Windows XP and it s enough for me.

  Normally, you can download the drivers on the Toshiba site, but for a beta OS you won't find not all the drivers on the Web site. If you're searching on external sites as Intel find some.
  Good luck.

  Thanks for the reply

  Mario

  Hey Buddy,

  You re right. After the download European driver Toshiba for Windows 7 64-bit are not all drivers available. I checked the downloads for Vista 64-bit and all the drivers you need are available.

  Drivers Vista and Windows 7 are similar, then you can try to use the 64 bit Vista drivers. Most Vista drivers work on Windows 7.

  In addition if something does not work you can use other Satellite A300 drivers for example. This laptop supports Windows 7 64 bit and the drivers should be similar, in my opinion.

  Good luck! :)

  Laptop specs

  Intel Core2Duo T7200 2.0 GHz
  RAM DDR2 677 MHz 4 GB
  ATI Radeon Mobility X 1600
  120 GB HD

  Hello

  Have you already checked the BIOS? How much RAM show the BIOS?
  And what kind of modules you have exactly?

  Normally, it should be possible to use full 4 GB of RAM on a 64 bit OS as your laptop also supports 4 GB.

  Maybe you should also try updating the chipset driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  The problem is that your unzipped folder name is too long!

• Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE: cannot install the ATI display driver

  Hi all

  I experienced a series of problems with my card graph Mobility Radeon X 1400 that I'm sure that can be resolved by downloading the latest drivers. What I have to do on the Toshiba site like the ATI site offers no support for it. But I've known several problems to download the file archive.

(missing or corrupted) "and he asks me to redownload the file, I did this three times now, with the same results, I'm starting to get a little frustrated - can someone + please help. I noticed that the file downloaded (and useless) is smaller (by more than 50%) than the expected size - I don't know if this helps all the...

  Preemptive thanks if you can help me with this problem.

  Hello

  What to say I noticed that drivers download server is very slow. Resembles overload eventually all packages have not passed correctly and so this error message is displayed.
  I know that this could be very frustrating and I really understand you because I tried to download the other driver and performance is really slow, but I put t see any other solution than to try to re-download the graphic driver package

• Satellite Pro A100 - can I exchange the CPU?

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-198 with a core duo processor. I would like to replace the processor of a Satellite Pro A100 830, which is Core2Duo in the Pro A100-198. They both have the same chipset-expected-they be any problem with that? This would increase the clock speed of 1.66 GHz to 2.0 GHz. They all have two Intel 945 PM Express chipset.

  I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 32 bit and the performance score is 3.4. My BIOS version is 1.9 and I see there is an upgrade to win all the version 6, but I can't find the BIOS version history - it is better to upgrade. For the moment, I'll see if there are problems.

  Thanks in advance Mick

  Hi Mick,

  As far as I know the two books belongs to the PSAACE series. Can you confirm this? You can find this information on the underside of the laptop.

  Normally if the books belong to the same series, it should be possible to exchange the CPU. They use the same hardware, so you can exchange.

  But don t forget this isn't supported CPU upgrade. If you have the warranty you will lose it. Other s CPU are pre-tested not on your laptop.

• Satellite Pro A100 - no restore CD - can I use the key to Toshiba?

  Hi all

  I bought quite old friend Satellite Pro A100 laptop and lost windows XP Pro CD,
  I have the product key.

  Can I get Windows xp pro eng cd somewhere and install it on my laptop with my cd key?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  The serial key you found at the bottom of the device belongs to the Windows OS preinstalled Toshiba and touches it s an OEM that will NOT work with the other disks in Windows XP.

  This means that if you want to install Windows XP on this notebook then you buy the Toshiba recovery disc again the ASP in your country or you will take an original Microsoft Win XP disc and will use this disk and the key that belongs to this Win XP OS.

  You have these two options.

• Satellite Pro A100 and load problems

  Hello everyone. New Member here.

  Got a huge problem with my laptop. I have a satellite pro A100-830. Part number: PSAACE-00W002EN. About 2 years ago

  I can run on the current system. But it will not work on battery. I just bought a new battery and it shows on the computer.
  I get indications are:

  battery charge amber lit.
  Light on power
  Power meter indicates the battery charge. I connected new battery and it shows 47% and now 3 hours later its still 47%
  If I unplug the power to the computer shuts down and will not work on battery.

  the AC light seems to be slightly duller than the one next to him, if that makes sense.

  Ive tried updating the BIOS etc but I'm ideas if im honest as im not a computer pro. I searched the internet but I can't find an answer

  Huge thanks in advance

  Stand by.
  We need more explanation here.

  You have the same problem with the battery and you have bought one new in the hope that everything will be OK?
  Have you noticed the same problem with the battery?
  You bought original Toshiba battery?

  In my view BIOS update won't help you much. I think electronic power is responsible for this BIOS update ahs no influence on this.
