• How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

  Please, I desperately need help.

  My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
  It's on the screen threre.

  He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

  How am I suppose to install windows vista?
  Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

  Anyone with an idea. Please

  > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  It was a big mistake buddy
  The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
  But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

  Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

  You need a recovery disk, and you can order it here:

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

  Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
  My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

  You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

  The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
  How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

  2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

  See you soon

  > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
  Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
  You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

  But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

  With regard to the sound:
  As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
  But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
  I recommend to test

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA-03C010 - downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello

  I'm really new to all this, so I hope that will not ask a question that has already been answered :)

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 (model PSAGCA-03C010) in October 08. It came with a preinstalled version of Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Initially, using Vista was not too bad, but it happened at a point now where his things slows down and is really frustrating. Want to downgrade (/ upgrade) go back to Windows XP and I want to know the "implications" of this and if the Toshiba Utilities are consistent and will work with XP.

  First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?

  Also, I am concerned about the Wi - fi, bluetooth, finger scan and HDMI applications - will this work with XP?

  Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?

  Thanks in advance and again once, apologies if these qns have already answered in other posts (im not too technical).

  Tools and Vista drivers are not compatible with Win XP. If you want to install Win XP and want to use all the features of the laptop you must make sure that the Win XP drivers are available for this model of laptop.

  Satellite A300 PSAGCA seems to be an Australian model. The drivers are placed here:
  http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

  I checked this and found a few tools and drivers for this device.

  > First of all, can I use my ID current product that came with Vista and it enter the product ID when I install XP?
  No, you can not use it because it belongs to the Vista operating system preinstalled on your laptop.

  > Finally, when I created the "recovery disk", should everything go 'bad' when installing XP or if something does not work, can I use this recovery disc to return to the original "out of the box" installation?
  Yes, the recovery disk allows to reverse the laptop back to factory settings.
  You will get the same as on the first day of purchase

• Need advice for installing Win7 on Satellite A300

  Hello

  I intend to buy Satellite A300-1MT (PSAGCE), and before I do I just check if there are still some problems with drivers for W7 for this model?
  On other forums, I saw that there are some problems with drivers like music keys, webcam, touchpad and FN keys and so on...

  So, can someone confirm me that all drivers are now available and everything works?

  And also until I started installing drivers is there anything I need to know (wait used?) Or perhaps better: does anyone have a special notice?

  Please, find the will to respond! Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A300 running Win7 32 bit, but my model is PSAG8E.
  To be honest I have very good experience with installing Win7 on Satellite A300 and I can recommend you to install on this Satellite.

  If you visit the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads you will see that your laptop model is supported Win7 and it shouldn't be problem to install all the necessary drivers and other stuff of Toshiba.

  Here is the list how I did this exactly:
  atellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7

  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches 1.2
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

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

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied. No problems with the feature keys FN.

  If you are going to buy this laptop start installation Win7 following this order of installations. Please inform us of problems and I hope that we can help you about this.

• Satellite A300 PSAGCA - blue screen using Windows 7

  > Can anyone clarify this for me.

  You are right that the last digit or the letter designates the region. Then E means Europe and Australian way.

  It s an Australian series for Toshiba laptop and, therefore, you need to download the drivers from Toshiba Australian page

  The BSOD may be a result of not fully compatible drivers

• To install Vista on Satellite M60

  Is that what anyone has experienced hardware problems during the installation of Vista on the laptop above. I have already increased the RAM to 2 GB, which is the maximum.

  I'm sitting looking at a copy of Vista and do not know to install on my laptop or home built PC, Help!

  Thank you

  Hello amber

  If I remember well satellite M60 is not portable to Vista and there may be a bit more problematic with Vista support. I imagine that you will have problems because of incompatible BIOS version, but you can check your hardware using Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. You can find it HERE

  Please use it and see the hardware compatibility report.

  Just for example: I managed to install Vista on Satellite M70. It is also portable to Vista but Vista works well.

• How to install Vista on Satellite M40-237?

  Can help guide me how to install vista on satellite m40-237?
  It hangs at the starting phase.

  Vista compatibility tool has shown this compatible machine to install vista.

  Hello

  Satellite M40 is about two years old and this laptop is not taken in charge of Vista. I guess this hood must be new BIOS for Vista installation. Unfortunately will not create new Toshiba Vista supported BIOS and all drivers for this model of laptop. :(

  Computers laptops capable only Vista will be supported as far as I know.

• Win7 drivers for Satellite A300 PSAGCE

  Toshiba will support win7 for Satellite A300 PSAGCE?
  If so it will be soon? There is no driver for this model how is it?

  Satellite A300 will be definitely supported, but no one knows for sure when the Win7 drivers for some this model will be available.
  Every day there are more pilots. From time to time check the support page. I think that these days, pilots should be there.

• Can I use European 2.1 BIOS update for Satellite A300 PSAGCA?

  Hello

  My toshiba's Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02Y010, bought in September 2008.
  I want BIOS update latest version 2.10 for windows 7, but in the Web of Toshiba-NZ site, I can only find the version 1.9, I find 2.10 for A300 Toshiba Europe, but Europe models are all different from NZ.

  My question is: could I use this BIOS 2.10 europe in my toshiba A300 nz? Thank you.

  Hello

  I would not recommend using a BIOS that is not released for your laptop model.
  There are a lot of different series for laptop on the market.

  You must use the BIOS that is designed exactly for the portable model!
  As you know, the BIOS update is a reasonable process and can damage the ROM chip using BIOS wrong!
