• Cannot install Windows XP Pro on the Satellite A100-411

  Hello

  IA´ve you have a question. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-411 with Windows Vista Home Premium. Because of the performance that would have me much better with Windows XP, I tried to install Windows Xp on a second partition, but on the same hard drive.

  The problem is that it did not work, I put the Windows XP cd in my DVD player, did a restart and started from the cd.
  The first window Windows Xp installation opened and checked my system, but when he did and
  wantet to start the main installation, I got a blue screen, where stood her system was closed due to an error and that I should change my video card, or should I turn caching and shadowing in my Bios.

  But my video card really works and is ok and I can't find the caching and shadowing in bios, so I can't install windows xp.

  So my question is is it possible to install Windows XP on the A100-411 when Vista is installed on the other Partition.

  I did something wrong or isn´t is it possible to install Windows Xp after Windows Vista on an A100-411
  Sorry for my bad English and greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  Of course, it should be possible to install Windows XP on the second partition.
  First you must create the partition. Vista provide a clean option for partitions of creation because the 3rd party applications such as Partitions magic doesn't work under Vista. In disk management you can reduce the size of a partition of first and could create a second partition on the HARD disk free space.

  All your Windows XP CD contain service packs? I myself remember more old CD s WinXP don't were not delivered with SP2! In such cases, it s a good idea to create a clean XP Boot CD using 3rd application called nLite. Its freeware and you could find on the net!

• Satellite A100-411: yellow mark (!) in device after installing XP Manager

  Hello

  I just get the Satellite A100-411 new but I want to downgrade the preinstalled windows Vista to Windows XP Pro.
  After Installing Win XP, I have no sound and the WXP 'driver manager' shows 'other devices' - Ethernet controller - device modem on high definition audio - and 'controller memory of mass' bus with a yellow (!).

  Pilots I've tried from the Toshiba homepage do not solve the problem.
  Sorry for my bad English I hope you can help me with my problem.

  Hi Sebastian

  It of funny, it seems that you are the first person who wants to downgrade the OS and not up-to-date laptop computer for Vista.

  Anyway, at the moment, I prefer to use XP.
  It seems that you have the drivers installed in the wrong order or some drivers are missing:
  Very important is the V7.2.1.1006 of Chipset Intel

  -> Lan Ethernet controller or / and WLan driver
  To my knowledge this device supports this LAN card: Intel 10/100 (Ekron) /GbE(Vidaria/Tekoa) Wired and you would need driver version 9.3.29

  You will also need and driver sound. I think that you need to install the Realtek audio driver with V5.10.0.5253 UAA bus driver.

• What temperature is essential - Satellite A100-411

  Hello

  I use my laptop for DJing and a stop would be terrible on a concert.
  I installed speedfan on my Satellite A100-411 and when I was in her setting, I was wondering, what temperature would be critical, causing a cpu stop or other errors.

  SpeedFan is followed by three CPU (Core Duo T2250), HD (Hitachi Travelstar) and GPU (GeForce 7600) temperatures.
  It would be great to know what are the maximum temperatures of security of each of the components of this.

  Sincerely,
  DJ Hondai

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I n t think that Toshiba provides such information in any other public document.
  I found in the user manual that the requirements of the environment and the laptop should be used in the temperature range of 5 to 35 ° C.
  But there is nothing about the temperature of the single components.

  You can try to check the Intel website for details of the CPU and possibly it you will find information on critical operating temperature.

  on unknown device you want to install
  Choose Properties
  * find the button "install driver".

  But it does not work on the Satellite A100-411. Windows XP says it cannot find the appropriate driver. Archive of the pilot (lan - 20071009151457.zip), or the Toshiba web page gives no clue for the installation.

  Can anyone help?

  Micronius

  On the Toshiba page, you will find two Intel Lan drivers; a v 9.2.24 (it s for Pro1000) and a v.8.0.43.0 (it s for Pro100).
  Have you checked the two pilots?

  Did you also install the Intel Chip Set Utility 7.2.1.1006? Do it!

• Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

  Hello

  cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
  Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

  Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

  First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
  After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

  Simple disc burning layer without problem.

  Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
  Thank you
  Luci

  Hello

  tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

  I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

  Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

• Wi - Fi dies in Satellite A100/002 with Vista Business 64-bit

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite A100/002 with Windows Vista 64 - bit Enterprise edition. My Wi - Fi died shortly after a random time. When I try to search for a wireless network, he found nothing. The only working solution is to restart the computer, and then it works fine until it dies again.
  I have updated the Wi - Fi drivers but it didn't solve my problem.

  It's really annoying especially when I play any game online.
  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Have you updated the BIOS? Check the Toshiba site for a newer version.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Also try an update of the firmware of the router. You can find it on the site of the factory.

  Last but not least, you must disable the security features of the router for the test. I mean hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far.

  Also, make sure that the option of the energy-saving WLAN card is disabled:

• How to use the recovery on the Satellite A100-192 with 2 partitions CD

  I have a satellite a100-192 with 100 GB hard drive.
  When I bought it I used magic norton 8.0 partion to divide the disk into two partitions, c drive (used for files of program and other things; 20 GB) and d ' drive that I use for all my documents, music, videos and similar stuff...

  and now, because of a few bad shots, I made (the software bad... lol) I want to reinstall windows. and honestly, I have no idea how to proceed. what I mean, I don't know what cd to use (I have two CD when I bought the computer), in fact I guess that's the one with ms a note on it, but how to do it safely without losing all my data on the d drive?

  The problem is that I did a lot of relocations on desktop computers when you hava clean facilities and then I know what I'm doing, but I have no experience with bundled windows installations.

  Hello

  Usually, Toshiba laptops are supplied with a Toshiba restore CD.
  On this CD, you will find the image of Toshiba which contains all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

  The question is what CD image you received.
  Some people here in the forum suggested that, since January 2006 the Toshiba Recovery CD supports another recovery procedure. The new recovery CD does not support the ghost but the surface RECO and it s not possible to choose the partition for the installation of the OS.
  In this case the whole HARD disk will be deleted and you will lose all your partitions.

  I have only one old recovery CD and so I can't say if it is possible to choose the right partition. It was possible on the old recovery cd by selecting the expert mode.

  In my view, that should make a backup of you all important files before you begin the recovery procedure.

• Satellite A100-683 with Win 7 - screen brightness adjustment does not work

  Hello

  I have a model of Satellite A100-683 PSAA9E with Win 7

  My problem is that I don't have a brightness in my dashboard-> laptop Center

  I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

  I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

  Please help me!
  Sorry for my English mistakes.

  Hello

  The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
  I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
  After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
  Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
  It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
  After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

  Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

  Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
  Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.

• Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

  Hello!

  My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
  First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

  Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
  (The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

  What can be the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Maria

  Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

  1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

  2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

  3 > BALANCED > POWER SAVER > HIGH PERFORMANCE

• Satellite A100-411: one or the other DVDs cannot be recognized

  Hello

  I work with my new Toshiba a100 411 since the end of February here at I m happy w / my choice.
  The only point is that I found that one or the other DVD cannot be recognized by the Pioneer K17A.
  Need me possibly new drivers?
  Thks in advance for yr help.
  Jürgen

  Hello

  Hmm I n t think so.
  As far as I know that these drives support not all CD or DVD and it s nothing unusual that one or the other DVD may not be recognized correctly.

  Sometimes a firmware update could allow the reader to recognize more kind of CD and DVD, but on the other hand, no one can say that this update might help.

• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.
  STL

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• Last updated by Satellite A100-289 with a new CPU and additional RAM

  Hello. Sorry for my English in advance :) I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-289. Despite I am satisfied with the laptop, it is possible for me to update, so I have a few questions on this topic.

  Fact laptop support Modules-SO-DIMM 2 GB of RAM? Also, what mobile CPU is supported for upgrade? Is it possible to replace the Core 2 Duo T5500 (default), with a few other Core 2 Duo processor, such as T7400, T7600, T7700? And if I install a new processor, it will influence the energy consume and warming temperatures drastically?

  Thanks :)

  Hello

  with regard to your question: Yes you can.
  Usually your chipset is capable of a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, but due to the limitation of the slots (Slot 1 cannot handle a 1 GB module), you can move only to 2 GB maximum, because your machine has only 2 slots.

  And what with your CPU? You can certainly try, but you won´t have a lot of luck. Excluding the small fact that each machine has it s own system of cooling for the processor which is equipped with this machine.
  the won´t CPU run at full speed.

  Why not? The problem is and now speak from experience;) that when you replace the processor in a processor intel pentium M or Core(2 Duo) system, something in the bios change, then the new processor
  will not properly recognized. And then the old? Nope. After you swap the CPU, you will have to bring your machine to an ASP.

  They have software that reactive something in the BIOS and the CPU runs at full speed. Since then they to the ASP will notice that you tried to Exchange something in the Board of Directors,
  you will face a cancellation of the guarantee and you will have to pay for everything that happens to be broken after the revocation.

  So I propose: update your RAM, but don t touch your CPU.

  Have a nice weekend

• Satellite A100 reboot with USB

  I have a new laptop satellite A100. I installed 2 device (modem ADSL and Webcam).
  I can't reboot my pc with the device, because I have a black screen. The hard drive does not work,
  and SO does not start.
  SO, if I reboot reboot without device, start corretely.

  Can you tell me why? and what I have to do?

  Thank you.

  Hello Pippo

  I noticed the same thing. If the USB memory key is attached to the unit needs a lot of time to start. Once I wait about 20 minutes, but if I remove the key USB the unit will start immediately.

  Believe me, that I tested it with four different Toshiba notebooks and everywhere that I got the same result. I put really know why this is happening but maybe you can try to use the USB hub with own power supply.

  Satellite A100 is a fairly new unit and I don t think that there is a problem with the operating system. The fact is that all the USB ports don't external devices of t with the same power supply. Sometimes may happen this work one device on a port USB port but not if you are connecting to another.

  As I said, you can try with USB hub.

• Satellite A100 compatible with DDR 667 memory?

  Hello
  I have a question about the compatibility of memory, it seems that the Toshiba Satellite A100 series has the new motherboard (945 PM).

  The site intel, he says that this motherboard supports DDR 667. Although if you look closely at the specifications the A100 comes with memory DDR 533, isn't that strange? Or toshiba made to reduce the cost?

  Thanks to all those who are willing to clearlify this problem

  Hello

  There are different models of Satellite A100, but I found information that these modules of memory are supported:
  DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
  1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

  Depending on your region, can be supplied with the DDR2-533 or DDR2-667. These can be mixed, however, when mixed will default DDR2-533.
