• Install Windows 7 on Satellite A300-1GC

  I got nearley two years ago to Toshiba dvd with windows 7 + all drivers for my computer laptop buit unfortunately I'm not home and I decided to upgrade Windows xp to Windows 7 so I have a few questions:

  1) there is a software (for Toshiba) that I can load after that I have ionstalled windows 7 that connect on the internet will be automately finde and download/install the drivers?

  (2) or by the way, I downloaded the files Zippes 12 I hope they are all the correct drivers for my laptop but it's hear someody who have the files name complite list I need to do?

  Last thing, I'm really scared to get in shape and rest with a computer laptop ko: (...) Thear is a utility that works in windows 7 that will update the bios without risk or u suggest staying with the bios I have now (that I got when I bought this laptop about 4 years ago.)

  Thank you to

  Hello

  I have Satellite A300 and use it with Win7 32-bit for some time. At first, I must say that my machine still has original version of the BIOS as your one. It turns out that you need new BIOS if the laptop works well and stabile. Don t change anything.
  Back to your questions:

  (1) this application doesn't exist. After the fresh install of Win7, you must download every single driver, tool or utility and install one by one.

  (2) all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  Here's my list how to install everything you need:

  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Adding Vista drivers:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  My machine works perfectly with this installation order. Test it.
  At the end once more: BIOS update is not necessary so don't change anything.

• Can I install Windows XP on Satellite A300-1EG

  What the installation of Windows XP Home on Satellite A300-1EG?

  What sort of change shoul I install before?

  What the difference betweem 32-bit and 64-bit? because it is a 32-bit Vista?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Of course, you can install XP on this laptop
  I put t see no reason why it shouldn't t function.

  Satellite A300-1EG belongs to the PSAG4E.
  Choose this series in the European driver Toshiba page and you will find the correct drivers.

  Please note that you must install the SATA AHCI driver first.
  I think this doc Toshiba should be useful:

  [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

  Also it you asked is what is the difference between the 32-bit OS and 64 bit OS.
  Well, there is a big difference but I n t want to show all
  An important fact is that drivers don't function on 64 bit OS 32 bit.

  For more information between the 32-bit and 64-bit OS recommends asking Google ;)

• How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1 to 9?

  Hello!

  first of all, sorry if I ask something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this questions... sorry for my English, I'm not native.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1 to 9 with Windows Vista preinstalled, but the thing is that I prefer Windows XP. I tried to install it, but it won't work.

  I read a lot of messages and comments on this topic in this forum and also in the web. The problem is that I don't know if the procedure and drivers to download are the same for all models L300. Mine is L300 1 to 9.

  Could someone give me a few extra simple instructions (I'm a beginner) on how solve this problem or a link to this question? I saw a lot of them, but none on this model L300 1 to 9.

  Thank you very much!!

  Hello!

  What do you mean with it doesn t work to install Windows XP?
  Please explain this!

  However, I think you forgot the SATA drivers. These drivers are required to install Windows XP, if your system is running in AHCI mode for better performance.
  The drivers, you can download the Toshiba site or on Intel:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  In addition, I think this link might be useful for you:

• How to install Windows Xp on Satellite L300D?

  How to expel C format Vista?

  Any advice?

  Hello!

  What Windows XP disc do you have? Microsoft?

  Maybe you should do a HARD drive low level format. You can do it with some tools. Google will help you.
  I always use the Drive Fitness Test to do a low-level format:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

  But before you do, back up your data. The HARD drive will erase completely. Have you created a Toshiba Recovery disk? If this is not the case, to do this. Because when you want to reinstall Vista, you need this record.

  Bye!

  So I don't know if this is why I still have to wait that Toshiba are a uograde drivers or because the drivers that I need are the drivers for the Witch of Microsoft Vista are ok 100% except for someone who neades patch appearing on this page.

  Who can give me a help?

• How to install Windows 8 on Satellite C855-21W - no disc

  Hello

  Recently my C855-21W SATELLITE HARD drive crashed. All the clothes of lost data.
  Series: YC273011R

  Now, I would like to reinstall Windows 8.
  But I have no CD /DVD and all partitions on the HARD disk are parties.

  How can I reinstall Win 8 on the laptop again?
  Where can I get a DVD?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's a shame but the HARD drive can still start to dysfunction and, therefore, it s advisable to create a recovery disc before you start using the laptop.

  However, now you can create the recovery disk because the files are lost.
  Now, you have two options:

  (1) you can install the Windows 8 using Microsoft Win 8 disk (you will need to buy 8 win if you n t have it). The essential Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page

  (2) the second option is much easier: you could order the Toshiba recovery from this page http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disk and will mark the laptop back to the factory settings.

  I hope help you how to install windows xp on my laptop.

  Concerning
  John

  Hello John

  It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
  In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

  What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

• Satellite A505-S6922 - how to install Windows 7 drivers?

  I have an A505-S6992 and I try to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate. I created the recovery with drivers and applications disc. In what order should I install and how to install Windows 7 ultimate?

  I tried to install by going just to the bottom of the list of applications/drivers, but has encountered an error.

  I think that the order of the facilities must be similar or even the same as on Vista.
  After the clean install of Win7 continue with:
  Chipset
  Robson driver
  Display driver
  Audio driver
  LAN
  Touch Pad Driver
  Card reader
  TOSHIBA software modem
  Wireless LAN driver
  Chicony camera software
  Bluetooth stack
  Port driver
  TOSHIBA Value Added Package
  TOSHIBA hardware configuration utility
  TOSHIBA supervisor password
  TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support utility
  TOSHIBA SD Memory utilities
  AuthenTec fingerprint utility
  TOSHBA face recognition
  TOSHIBA ConfigFree
  TOSHIBA WPS library
  TOSHIBA Assist
  TOSHIBA Speech System
  CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
  TOSHIBA TRS driver
  HDMI Control Manager
  Of course, it is order facilities Vista and maybe you won't find listed some stuff on the page to download, but at least you can see how it should be installed.
  Next week, I'll get my new Satellite A500 and I'll test the Win7 installation.

  Please let me know if you will be able to install it with success.

  Good luck!

• How to install Windows XP Home on my Satellite L500-1ZP?

  I formatted my Satellite L500-1ZP (PSLS9E) and thought DLI install win xp instead of win7 (do not have the disk/partition backup)
  now, when I start it with the cd of windows XP blue screen 'windows setup' inside start but when its finished loading, it gives me an error code:
  ' * STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF78DA63C, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).

  I read somewhere that I need to download SATA drivers for my laptop and do a disc to install windows xp with the SATA drivers on it?

  I tried to get these drivers, but I don't know that I have need and how to do the installation disc
  I copy my original windows XP Home cd and put the drivers in a folder somewhere on the disk?

  I hope someone can resolve my problem because the laptop is just over a year, and I don't really want to buy a new...

  I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started to install own OS. After clean operating system installation you not longer have access to data recovery.

  You are right. For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. How to install Windows XP Home edition on the new laptop models that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  In the end, I must say that your last sentence is pretty confusing to me. You bought the laptop designed for Win7 and you want to use the old WXP on this. Do you really think you need to buy the new laptop if you want to install Windows XP Home edition?

• Re: How to install Windows XP Home on a Satellite L40 - 17R

  I bought a laptop Satellite L40 - 17r without Windows installed and the store didn t give me all the drivers also.
  When I check your "how to install windows XP on a L40.pdf. It says to download the driver package that I can't find on your website.

  I have a Windows XP Home genuine SP2, but I can t install as WXP does ' t find the hard drive.
  I'd be the appropriate driver package to install Windows XP on my laptop.

  If I have an external floppy drive can't, I used a USB drive external hard also add the necessary drivers so that Windows XP can see my hard drive (160 GB HARD DRIVE (5400 RPM) SATA).

  Thanks for your response
  Xavier
