Help! XP and BIOS problems! Satellite 2410

Hi all

I had trouble with XP Pro for a while and finally decided to reinstall XP Pro - easier said than done!

My questions are:
(1) how to access the bios so it starts from the CD?
(2) once it reboots from the CD can just reinstall XP?

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi George,.

Normally by pressing ESC when starting poster system BIOS load progress. You can try pressing and tenuous F2 which normally brings you to the CONFIGURATION of the BIOS screen and hold F12 that will take you to the SELECTION of BOOT menu, F8 will bring you to the boot option screen where you can select mode without FAILURE etc.

Try to press F12 when the Toshiba start screen appears and see if you get the boot selection menu.

    Dear friend

    Now the situation is more complicated. To be honest, that certain parts of your reports are not logical for me to be discussing this.

    As you know in the BIOS boot options where you can set the boot sequence there. With other words, you can define which device should be the first, second and so on. To start notebook BIOS check this defined order and try to start the operating system. If the first boot device is not found for some second reason for notebook control device. If there is no portable bootable option check the following.

    This message PXE occurs when the laptop cannot find the boot device and try to start the LAN (network card) device. Why does this happen? I put t know what the problem is here.
    At this point, I have to say that I m really confused when you say that you can continue to windows after this message appears on the screen. How do you do that? Can you start preinstalled OS now or not?

    BIOS password
    This method with the removal of battery can run on desktop computers, but with laptops is the history a little bit different. If you are not able to remove or change the password of the BIOS, then you have a big problem. Now this can be done by only authorized service.

  • Need help to update BIOS on Satellite L30-113

    Hello

    I just downloaded the latest update of the BIOS for my Satellite L30-113 (PSL 33) and I was about to install when I remembered that I actually downgraded to Windows XP(this notebook is originally with WIndows Vista).
    My question is it will produce no problem when I run the .exe file, because it can be programmed to update BIOS under Windows Vista only?
    I know there are a lot of competent users who can help me in this forum.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I just got a check for the BIOS on the support and downloads page and I found the inscription as "OS independent. This essentially means that the update is compatible with both operating systems.

    Remember that when you update the BIOS, you need ensure the power supply is connected, software security is disabled, nothing is attatched to (other than the power cord) system, power is turned off (such as screensavers), saving features and no other software is running. Also disconnect from the Internet, too, if possible.

    You can download the latest version of the BIOS here:
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20071106150302.zip

    Also, you can find the update may not work if a BIOS password is set, if this is the case, you need to delete that, too.

    Kind regards

  • Need help to update BIOS on Satellite P200D - 11L

    I have a portable satellite P200D - 11L. I have a problem recently with my FN key is not working and a few problems with my camera. My BIOS version is 1.00, and I saw that there is a version 1.2. Although I downloaded the update when I went to unpack, I have seen that there are 2 versions of it. We called Setup and another called Setup64.which one should I launch?

    Any help would be extremely useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I guess you have 32-bit of Windows Vista or Windows XP 32-bit installed and not a 64-bit operating system.
    Thus, it would be optimal to install program installation and not Setup64. If you install the Setup64 your won´t OS works as it should.

  • Update for Windows 7 and BIOS on Satellite L300D-23D

    Hello guys

    I ' v just installed Windows 7 32-bit on Toshiba Satellite L300D-23D, I has not installed the update to the BIOS, but everything works fine.
    Can I update the BIOS?
    Thanks in advance.

    If everything works well I don't think that you need a BIOS update.

  • Pavilion dv7 7080el: big problems of overheating and bios problem

    I have this laptop for a few years, but earlier I use constantly and I see that much when heated work not reached an average of 65 °, but if you work with graphics or other temperature increases considerably, and sometimes when I go to reset the bios auto-recovery, finished the procedure, I have to turn it off and let it cool to be able to use it again as well as garlic this causes too much heat ruined even the battery that won't re - calibrate, but must be replaced, even if it is almost never used, so I would keep less software until the fan at will but cannot find compatible software and wish that the problem is solved for you because I think it's very serious the laptop not think that it is so plugged in but really many flaws

  • Driver nVidia unrecognized and other problems satellite P855 - 30G:

    Hey guys,.

    I recently bought a P855 - 30G to use as a portable desktop computer and the first thing I did was install Windows 7 Ultimate on it ratther than to use the pre-installed Windows.

    Now, however, every time I try and install the nvidia drivers, it says: "No compatible hardware" and the Wireless does not work on the box it has on any other laptop I've owned.

    How can I fix? :(

    Hello

    You have installed another version of Win7 and now you're talking about problems
    I think you have not had any problems with Wlan or a chart using the preinstalled... system right?

    I don t think that laptop has any problem here, but you have just installed a driver compatible or used the wrong driver.

    Did you choose the nVidia driver and the European page WLan driver driver Toshiba?

  • Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

    Hello

    I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

    I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

    Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

    Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

    The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

    I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
    The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
    But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

    But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
    Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

    However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
    On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
    Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

    To manually update your driver:

    1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
    2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
    3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

  • Satellite 2410-303-display flashing, update the BIOS

    HY!

    I am the owner of the Satellite 2410-303 series. Display does not work very well. I do not know it is because of drivers (even me, I installed the drivers by default) or maybe it's because the LCD screen. Maybe poor contact or something like that? I don't want to take my turn for the service center more because they don't know how to solve the problem. Only what they say is: «I'm sorry, but you have to buy a new...» »

    In speaking of the bios it is 1.20 in 2002. I want to download 1.40 (think it's most recent) but do not know where to download... Please help because this is my first tour & I want to revive his soul... THX.

    Hello

    I always thought that this forum is serious, but you try to make us laugh reading your ad.

    Sorry, but your comment about service is for me really ridiculous. Do you really think that all the issues can be fixed and nothing should be exchanged? I respect your opinion, but I think you're not qualified to talk about. Or maybe you're a technician material. If so, then I feel sorry for my comment.

    Anyway, if you have a display problem trying to connect to external monitor and see exactly what is happening. It will be interesting to know how starts flickering.

  • Satellite 2410-303: Question about software update and service in the northern part of Cyprus

    First of all, I have a Satellite 2410-303 and I hoped that I can update my toshiba but there is no my toshiba model name in the Download Center. It has 2410-303 in the Download Center and I install the update on my toshiba. This will damage my toshiba?

    Secondly, I recorded my toshiba. I can access my account, then I'll download center update but my toshiba model is not correct (Magnia 550 d isn't my toshiba). I do not have other updates. How can I solve this problem?

    Finally, studying at University of the Eastern Mediterranean in Northern Cyprus. I am waiting for this area, but I could not find any point of service. Is there any point of service in the northern part of Cyprus?

    Thank you very much for interested in my topic and your comments!

    The simple driver update will not damage your laptop but the incorrect BIOS.
    Anyway, Sam is right. The S in the first step means satellite. This is why you must use drivers for 2410-303. These are the correct drivers and they should work on the laptop.

    If you are looking for the right service partner I would say visiting this site:

  • Satellite Pro M70 and chariging problems

    Hello everyone,

    I wonder if anyone can help me with my problem, my Satellite Pro M70 sometimes does not load when I put the charger into the socket, if I out of the power supply and leave it for 2 days I have costs for a period of time up to 20 hours, and then did the same thing.

    I tried to turn it on without the battery, to check whether the problem is with him, but he turns. So this led me to believe the problem isn t the battery.

    Can anyone help?

    > have tried to turn it on without the battery, to check if the problem is with him, but it won't turn
    You mean the power of t n for laptop up connected to the sector, but without battery plugged in?

    Hmmm, to me this looks like a bit of a problem with AC adapter or an electrical problem of power offers the Board of Directors. As you probably knew that, it is really difficult to provide suggestions without touching the laptop.

    First of all, you can check if the machine uses latest BIOS. If this isn't the case, update the BIOS.
    Check if the laptop would go also without battery and only connected to the network.

    If this does not work, then the adapter should be verified.
    If the AC adapter is ok, then, the motherboard must be verified
