  Hello

  Theoretically, you can install Windows XP, why not? ;)

  But I put t understand why you want to use such an old operating system. I mean the Satellite U500 is really fast enough for Vista and Windows 7 is present in a few days. You should be happy with your pre-installed Vista version that should work well.

  The point is that Toshiba doesn't offer drivers U500 and XP so you must collect all the drivers yourself on the Internet that takes a lot of time. In addition, I think that some special functions, like the FN keys will not work because it you can get a driver from Toshiba.

  It s your choice what you do but I'd wait for Windows 7 If you don't like Vista Satellite U500 n should also support Windows 7.

• Can satellite L300 - I start BACK recovery?

  Hi all, is it possible to start the recovery of a L300 DOS image?

  The reason why I ask, I have a laptop that does not start in a form in any way. If put a Vista disk and go to the DOS prompt I see the partition recovery & files, so is it possible or what are my options?

  Thanks in advance
  Best regards, Ciaran

  >, is it possible to start the recovery of a L300 DOS image?
  I doubt that this is possible

  What you could do is to start the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure by pressing the F8 key.
  A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
  Then it should open a new window with an option called Toshiba recovery.
  Choose that and usually drive HARD recovery must begin.

  But this procedure is possible only if the second partition and HARD disk recovery file has not changed

• Re: Satellite U500 - can I install Windows XP?

  Have recently bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 laptop. It came with Windows 7. It is very unstable. Programs that don't crash XP, crash regularly in Windows 7. Including Windows Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer (especially painful if you have run a great search).
  I hate the way that it is unstable on where he puts the files. I hate the way it hides files and blocks access to others. My list of complaints about Windows 7 is too long to list here.

  Is there a version of XP that I can install on this laptop?

  Hello

  Generally speaking, it of depending on your model of laptop you exactly what Satellite U500?

  Before you install another operating system make sure that you can get all the drivers for the new operating system in order to check the Toshiba page first.
  For U500 XP drivers are available according to the official website of Toshiba, so it seems that he supported s. Just download all the drivers and tools and install them after the installation of Windows XP, but install the SP3 for XP before you begin with the installation of the driver.

  By the way: Please create Toshiba Recovery disk before you install another OS. In case you want Windows 7 back you can use this disk to restore the original settings.

• Satellite U500 - 10L - how to bring it back to factory settings?

  That if I don't have any of my Satellite U500 - 10L recovery disk and I need to format this laptop and bring it back to the factory settings and Windows? It is true that it is inside the laptop?
  Previously I formatted and installed windows 7, in this case is the recovery has been removed from this laptop!

  Thanks :)

  Hey Buddy,

  I think you didn't read the manual right? ;)

  Recovery procedure is very easy and you have two options: HDD recovery or recovery disk.

  HARD drive recovery can be used with the version preinstalled Windows only so if you have installed another version of Windows this option isn't available anymore. The exact procedure is described in the user manual, you need to enter the advanced Windows (key F8) boot menu and choose fix my computer. You will see a new window where you can choose the HARD drive recovery.

  The Toshiba recovery disc yourself using the preinstalled Media Creator Toshiba recovery must be created. That's why you have some blank DVDs and the tool will automatically create the discs. This disk can still be used to restore the original settings, independent what OS is installed, as well as on the new hard drives. If it still works because the HARD disk will be cleaned completely before installation.

  Now it s also too late for disk recovery, but you can order a copy here:

• The GMA 4500 can be activated on Satellite U500 - 115 (PSU5EE)?

  Hello

  I own the U500-115 PSU5EE for about a week now. Today, I looked again on the Toshiba site and I noticed that the U500-115 uses the Intel GM45 Express chipset, see here: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-U500-115/1070387/toshibaShop/false/

  http://www.Intel.com/CD/products/services/EMEA/DEU/chipsets/398739.htm
  Intel says that this chipset has a device integrated video GMA 4500MHD.

  I have not seen the GMA 4500 in the Device Manager and I have not found a possibility to active it. Everest Ultimate says there is an Intel GMA 4500MHD built in and it is disabled.

  So, can be activated and used instead the 4570 to save energy while being on the battery?

  If it s not active, then from a good reason. The manufacturer doesn't have to trigger specific in a chipset functions, even if the manufacturer of the chipset says it is applied.

  BUT: If there is a powersaving option that switches between graphics cards, then you won´t have influence on that because this will be controlled automatically by the system and the drivers.

  Hope I could help... :)

• Satellite U500 - 18L - can not update display driver

  I have a Satellite U500 - 18L running Windows 7 HP 64 - bit, which has a NVIDIA GeForce G210M GPU inside.
  The problem is that I can't install the latest 64-bit drivers for Win 7 for laptops from NVIDIA.
  I get an error message saying that no driver was found for your hardware configuration.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.
  Olivier.

  It is well known that the drivers for laptops must be installed manufacturers support page only. Graphics manufacturer doesn't want to be responsible for possible damage and display drivers are modified by the manufacturers of cell phones.

  It has a few tips how to install them anyway, but I think this isn't the best idea.

• I can't download drivers for Satellite U500-1f4

  Hello!
  I just bought a toshiba U500-1f4. But I can't download any driver on the official website of Toshiba. By clicking on the download link for any driver, I get "403-Forbidden".

  Any advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Can I ask you a question? Why do you need satellite U500 drivers if you have just bought?
  Everything has been already installed.
  You're right about the "403-Forbidden" error, just checking to download any driver, but get the same message.
  Wait, maybe there's a few problems with the server. Try again later.

• Need new keyboard for Satellite U500-1F4

  Hello
  I was visiting my friend in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, it has a Toshiba Satellite U500 - 1F4 Laptop, the subtemplate is PSU9ME-OOCOOXAR

  She bought while working in Dubai, Saudi

  She spilled coffee on the keyboard, and of course, it now does not work correctly.
  I thought that it would be possible to remove and just wash it in hot water, perhaps to dissolve the coffee, but it does not work. There are six or seven key doesn't work is not on the keyboard.
  The rest of the laptop is great, no problem.

  I am now back in the United Kingdom, and I will try to find a keyboard for it. There is a lot on eBay and other places, but whenever I do a search for its model I get nothing.

  The numbers on the back of the keyboard are:-

  MP - 08H56A06528

  09K37200523M

  OKNO - VGIAR0209493000523

  I found various models U500 and U505 keyboards, so one of them would be?

  Thank you
  Geoff

  On eBay you can find so many keyboards. Just find one for U500 and it will fit for sure.

• Satellite U500/00 x PSU5EA - second partition disappeared

  Hey...

  I have the Toshiba Satellite U500-00 x his Australian machine... This is the second time it happened...
  I have two partition one is for Windows Vista and other where I put the data... before suddenly two weeks less than one second my other dissapeard in car and when I saw him in my Comp-> Manage.

  She gave free space for this player and when I allocated space for a player, it was empty, but later I was positive to bring the data back with 80% recovery software...

  Now, yesterday happened the same thing and this time the software recovery isn't yet able to return data only 10% data are back and even some files of them are corrupted...

  can we know what is the reason to go by car?

  Hello

  To be honest I have never heard of this show something like that's never happened to me and I didn t read all other threads like this.

  Usually the partition should not be affected by installed applications.
  In my opinion, this issue may be related to a HARD disk problem
  The partition was perhaps not created correctly partition table has been damage.

  However, I think you need to format the HARD drive again and it must recover in order to recreate the partitions.
  Maybe this could helps avoid the problems of the others.

• Satellite U500 - Bluetooth emits BT monitor vs Bt Stack

  Hi all

  My wife machine is a Satellite U500 - 10 L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with pre-installed Vista, later with W7Pro 32-bit).

  Now, I always had various problems with Bluetooth on this machine, and it is the only machine I've ever had problems of Bluetooth with, for the most part related to connectivity to the internet via mobile phones.

  More generally, I connect to the internet using a mobile phone to control Bluetooth Sony Ericsson and Sony Ericsson PC Suite software (currently and elm and occasionally a hazelnut or a C702.) This configuration has always worked without problem on all the other machines I used, like my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710 b given to me by my former employer for a few years and even my old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased) and my mother's old Macbook untrustworthy. With these machines, I've never had problems connecting to one of the phones or internet, without any drops of connection or any other problem issues.

  Not the same with this U500. I write this when connected through PC Suite, Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works perfectly for days at the end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. As a general rule, however, get a connection more often than otherwise, but the question is annoying nevertheless.

  Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack Panel and managed to establish the connection, well. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it is actually connected and if the BT stack control panel and monitor Windows 7 connection in the system tray, but there is no real access to the internet (I have only the small yellow triangle with the no message + internet access, but the phone is dialed in.)

  Then, I tried to reinstall PC Suite (with BT present Stack), and things became even worse: now the BT itself between PC Suite and the phone connection is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it works well enough to get a connection (although somewhat reliable).

  So now I have uninstalled the BT stack, reinstalled the monitor BT and went back using PC as a result of the composition and the same issues that I mentioned previously to persist.

  Now, my two questions are as follows: a. Why did not get any Internet with BT Stack, even if the phone was actually composed for the connection? and (b) assuming that the internet access issue is resolved, I'd maybe get a connection more reliable (i.e. one that is not suddenly decide to drop from time to time) with BT Stack instead of the installation of PC Suite/BT monitor?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  A long time ago I ve tested the BT feature with my laptop LG and everything was OK. The configuration was not so complicated.

  Unfortunately, I can't help you with your problem. I put t knows anything about your mobile phone, internet provider, or anything else, so the only thing I can do here is to you recommend to visit the knowledge base of Toshiba BT under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=howto

  You will find lots of interesting documents and also documents how to connect your laptop to the Internet.

• Need help to solve the problem on my Satellite U500 PSU9ME

  Dear Toshiba

  I've always used laptops for years working time or personal laptops; I decided to change Toshiba because I hear a lot how they are and high quality!

  Since I bought my laptop and I'm having all sorts of problems with it!

  1. 1st day I bought the laptop, the screen started black out on me and come back several times, I went to the dealer who has replaced for me right now, but the replacement does the same thing for a while even with the bios and drivers updated and then after a few days it worked fine.

  2. I've updated of bios easily to v1.6 and now 1.7 released and I tried hard updated but the update won t work at all, it keeps stuck to the CMD screen.

  3 today, I had a massage from warning saying that the problem with the cooling system has been detected and I need to return it to the service!

  I'll take it tomorrow at the service, but the laptop was purchased on March 24, 2010 only! And it has been registered online on March 26, 2010;

  The service will open and check it out or fix it but it is neither normal nor acceptable when a laptop cost me almost 1200USD and worked less than 2 months and the experience of this.

  I have didn't even use it again as heavy I used to other brands which has never had a single issue!

  This does not mean your laptops are bad, but IE please help and provide solutions or maybe this model needs an urgent review!

  Thank you!
