    Hello

When I start with the install of Win2003 CD and access the Setup screen, I get the following error: «Setup didn't find any hard drives installed in your computer» I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) I have need to install the drivers for the SATA controller during the installation when he says "press F6 to install 3 pary SCSI or RAID drivers.

Helpful suggestions and solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It is important to doesn´t if toshiba does not explicitly have the F6Floppy drivers for your machine. You can go to www.intel.com and download the drivers from F6Floppy from there.

    On the issue of the 'no-floppy", you can easily find a way just in slipstreaming with nlite for self made Win2003 Server drivers CD.

    To learn more about "slipstreaming" CD with nLite, simply type 'Nlite slipstream XP ICHM8' or some of these words in google and you will find all THE answers. Or you use the forum search and find only 10000 messages on this slipstreaming with nlite, etc...

    How could I install an operating system of Windows XP and all keeping my Windows Vista.
    It's like having two operating systems in one.

    My laptop model is Toshiba Equium L350 - 10L.

    Hello Carol

    Just in a few words: If your laptop is preinstalled with Vista original recovery image please make sure that the HARD drive has two partitions (C and D also check disk management). Windows XP must be installed on the second partition. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need Storage Manager. Without this Storage Manager disk HARD won't be visible for the installation of Windows XP Home edition CD.

    On this forum, you will find number of threads with the exact description how do.

    At the end you must start Manager. Using this boot manager, you will be able to choose which operating system you want to use.

    If you have any other questions please post again.

    The key is the Intel Storage Manager.

    It contains the SATA driver for different Intel chipsets.

    I found the compatible driver here in page Intel:

    [Intel® Matrix Storage Manager: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go % 21]

    It is a driver that can be included by using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

  • Re: Equium L350 - 10L - start with battery power

    I just bought an Equium L350 - 10L. When he arrived, he has been turned on using the battery and started installing Windows. However, the battery expired and I can't cross the message of "close unexpectedly" even after reboot.

    How can I go back to square one and restart the installation process? Advice.

    Oh buddy, a stupid idea. I really do not understand you. After several weeks or months in the box, maybe it makes sense that the battery cannot run with full capacity.

    In any case, connect your laptop to power supply and leave it for a while. Departure for laptop to see what will happen. If the installation process can not be finished early new laptop computer and immediately press F8. First option to choose repair my computer and follow the on-screen menu. The OS will be installed again and you will be able to complete the operating system installation process.

  • Equium L350 - 10L - memory upgrade question

    Hello

    I have the Equium L350 - 10L. Is it possible to upgrade the memory on my laptop. For the moment, it has 2GB (2x1GB).

    Thank you

    Of course you can upgrade the RAM.
    Did you look in the manual that was stored on the laptop?
    I think that you should do this it can you did many details, photos and any other information regarding the upgrade of RAM.

    Check the memory extension Chapter 8 option aircraft.

    In addition, you should know that if you would upgrade the RAM to 4 GB then your 32-bit Windows system will see ONLY 3.2 GB.
    So if you want to use full 4 GB, you will need to change the operating system to 64-bit.

    In my opinion, 3 GB of RAM are more than enough

    Hi all!

    I'm tryin to get my my satellite A30-414 to boot from the floppy USB drive and enter the dos mode, but all I get is a black screen (without a slider, of course!), and then the windows XP login page directly. Can you tell me if this model has a boot device menu shortcut keyboard?

    Also, I may be permanently changed some configurations of starting (to know by pressing F12 at startup, then press F2 to try later) with my attempts to get the machine to boot from the floppy drive: now even when the floppy drive is not connected, I get this black screen awkward and then, after a few seconds, the logon windows page. How do I access the Setup menu and check?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello

    You can access the start menu by pressing the F2 key during the boot process. This will take you in the "setup" menu where you can change the order of selection of boot device as well as the other BIOS settings permanently.

  • How to move the original system to the SSD newly installed without an optical drive?

    I want to buy a W530 and spare SSD upgrade.

    I want to order one without a DVD player.

    How to move the system of origin, drivers and other software for the SSD newly installed without an optical drive?

    Hope someone could help me. Thank you.

    The two utilities that I mentioned manage alignment automatically. Also, I photographed my hard drive, then restored the SSD. I have no clone, which means a direct copy of the HDD to the SSD.

    I just went through this myself in July, using Acronis True Image 2012 to get my existing on my 256 GB SSD mSATA HARD disk image. It worked like a charm. I checked that the SSD has been properly aligned.

    See:

    Migrate to SSD

    and:

    Check the alignment of SSD

    Now stop worrying!

  • Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

    History:

    I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

    IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

    IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

    I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

    The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

    How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

    I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

    This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

    However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

    Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
    Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

    For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

    Good bye

    Here's the question. I have the * satellite Toshiba L350 - 10L. (PSLB2E) *, I bought last week and I really hate Vista that comes with the machine. I also have XP Pro and I want to put this on the machine instead of use the preinstalled Vista.

    Problem is that I can't find the XP drivers available here to use once I put XP on the computer.

    Anyone know it if they are available and if so where can I get them?

    In addition it is possible to use the drivers vista on XP or if they will not work. I won't try to install XP until I have all the correct drivers. I tried to find this info anywhere and nothing helped. Certainly, demand for XP should toshibe free drivers. I see other people the same questions, but to different machines and I'm wondering are they available for my specific machine.

    In this guys any help would be greatly appreciated, or even advice to if Im barking an incredibly bad tree.

    So I ve searched a bit on the European driver Toshiba page and I used the series laptop drivers different

    Still many laptop series uses the same hardware devices and also the drivers would be functions too

    Check just. it worth a try.

    PS: I m ensure that drivers Toshiba of origin should be released in the next time don t lose patience ;)

  • Equium L350 - 10L PSLD2E: FN + F6 does not work under Win XP

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite L350 - 10L PSLD2E and just have it downgraded to XP of the original Vista.

    I have all the drivers set up were needed, that didn't they no yellow question mark in Device Manager.

    My problem is that I can't change the properties of the screen.
    The screen is high heat and using the button with number F6 FN does not bring the brightness.

    All the options of the FN do not work.

    Anyone can guide me please to sort it?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Have you installed the common Module and Hotkey Utility?

    The common Module software is an essential element for the use of the FN button.

    It should be installed first

    Please download and reinstall. In my view, this should allows to get the functionality of the FN button.

  • Partition of hard disk for Equium L350 - 10L

    Hello

    I am a new owner of a L350 - 10L. Loading the files from the laptop, I was told that I had run out of space. Investigate a bit more it seems I drive hard havea partitioned. I think that I expect that the "valorisation" of files are stored on the hard drive. But the size of the partition seems a little odd to me. The disc has a pertition to Vista and a called E:\Data being 54.5 GB in size.

    Question - can I safely reformat the hard drive? Should I run the Setup again. This seems a bit odd. Is there a reason for the size of partition?

    Kind regards
    Paul

    Hello
    I have the same laptop. Download GParted LiveCD and boot inside. Then resize partition D:\ lower then resize the partition above C:\ with unallocated space. Is not wipe your data.
