• Can satellite P100-387 - I use a solid state drive?

  Is it possible to change the disk hard original toshiba satellite P100-387 with new SSD. i.e.: Kingston SSDNow V-Series 128 GB?

  Hello

  Hmm generally, it shouldn't be a problem since the P100 supports a SATA HDD controller.
  To be honest I n t have an SSD and I can't say that an SSD can work properly, but theoretically it should not be a problem because the BIOS shouldn't differences between a common SATA HDD or SSD SATA.

• Satellite P100-387: how reintall Windows XP Media Center Edition

  Hello

  I work with P100-387. Today, I realized, that there is a problem with the new upgrades for windows and update for Office 2007. I'm not able to open Word. Excel is workin, Power Point also. Opening remarks, the remains of screen splash long (about 3-4 minutes), the menu is being loaded, but when I try to click on something... does not.
  I tried to delete some KB, but nothing helped. I have downloade also all the updates for Office 2007 - still does not.

  If the last option is to reinstall Windows. Please tell me how to do?

  I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message (for the time being, I have 4, and I want to do all the time with all the data). My goal is to format only C: (the system) and install the fresh news or Windows XP MCE.

  Please give a solution, how to solve this problem.

  Best regards

  > I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message

  Well generally it of true the recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions and set the laptop to factory settings.

  But the question is; what recovery CD Toshiba do you have? I presume that it is the new version of the recovery CD because the laptop Satellite P100-387 is not very old.

  You can choose between the Standard recovery mode and Expert mode?
  Using the expert mode you should be able to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.

  But if it is not able to choose between these two recovery modes, then I guess you have the new recovery called RECO CD and there is no other choice than to format the whole HARD drive. In this case, the backup of the data would be desirable

  Of course, you can use the original CD of Microsoft. Using this CD, you will be able to install the OS on the single partition without format the whole HARD disk.

  I don t understand Russian and in this forum you can post ONLY in English! So please respect it!

  On your screenshot, I see that you tried to install a driver from nVidia.
  You have to use and install the graphics drivers from the Toshiba page!
  The other pilots graphics from NVidia or ATI are not supported and usually these drivers should be used due to the risk of overheating graphics.

• Fingerprints and the remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

  P100-387 has a fingerprint and the remote? Please, someone answer me.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not supplied with the remote control.
  But you're right.
  The fingerprints and the remote control are optional and some laptops in the P100 series support fingerprint reader and are delivered with command remotely.

• Satellite P100 - 387 CPU fan works like crazy

  Hi all
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-387. I bought it with 2 friends. The same model.

  The problem exists only in 2 of the 3 laptops. It looks like this. When I start the machine everything is ok. While windows starts cpu cooler (or video card cooler if it exists) starts to work. If the fan starts to work the low speed at the highest. And did it for 5 - 10 times. Then a few minutes break and again. It's really noisy. It seems that when you insert a CD or a DVD.

  It goes like this also when windows is started. No high consumption of CPU, the fan works like crazy. Start at full speed for 2-3 seconds, then for 1 second and still the same.

  Everyone has the same 'characteristic '?
  What is this Toshiba Power Saver software works with p100-387?

  Hello

  I P100-109 close to me and I noticed the same thing. There is no difference between preinstalled WXP or Vista and because of this, I assume that this is a normal behavior. I know it's sometimes troubling, but unfortunately you have to live with it.

• Need for a disk to boot flash BIOS for Satellite P100-240

  I need to Flash my Satellite P100-240 on a bootable CD.
  The BIOS only I can find on this site must be run from windows.
  I have seen BIOS 4.40 for P100 on another Toshiba sites, for example:

  http://askiris.Toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2115 524xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 56504155 & stateId = 0% 200% 56506013 20

  But do not know if it is appropriate for P100-240.
  They seem to be named completely differently. Not sure if that's a thing based country.

  The BIOS in the mentioned link will be allowed to run on my p100-240?

  Your laptop is NOT American series but the European series and you must use the BIOS from the European driver Toshiba page!
  The incorrect BIOS may damage the BIOS ROM of portable module! And this would lead to the point where you wouldn t be able to boot the machine!
  This is why you should ALWAYS use the BIOS designed for this series of laptop!

  In addition, you won't find updates of the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page!
  There are only updates to the BIOS windows-based and you can update ONLY run under windows.

  If the notebook WHAT BIOS s cannot be updated to the Windows operating system, then you must contact the Toshiba technician and must ask for help!

  That's all you can do

• L50D-B - reset of the Bios password satellite

  Model: Satellite L50D-B-17J
  Serial number: YE031145C

  So, one of my cousins has managed to put a BIOS password on his cell phone and then forgot the password. Now, I was invited to see if I can fix it.

  First of all: this notebook, while relatively new, is essentially fixed or trash, she already has a new. I already opened it upward, so the warranty has technically been canceled already. All this means it does not matter too much if he breaks in the process of fixing. They say that they have contacted support and not really gotten an idea clear of what to actually do, and I'd rather not have to worry about support (the Support System site is not even working for me right now).
  
  Long story short: Is it possible to reset the BIOS password on this model? I understand that it is possible on many laptops to do by removing the CMOS battery. Now, this model does not have a (I opened it and found no one). Instead, I understand that the newer models may have a circuit that can be shorted to possibly reset the BIOS? Is this correct, and if so, what is it?

  Once more, the laptop is practically acquired anyway, so if possible, I'd take the chance to do it myself, if it's at all possible.

  Well, the circuits in question would be JCMOS1 riders normally located under the RAM. Bridge them while the power is turned off the first. If it does not then on the screen by removing the battery and drive, press and hold power for 10-15 seconds, then hold down Fn + ESC, holding down it to the bottom of the plug in the power lead and switch on the device. When the fan starts release Fn + ESC. If you see a post screen then bridge JCMOS1 jumper then and that should reset the BIOS. Unplug the unit and hold down the power button for 1 minute and then plug it back again. It should start up with asking to specify a password. If you could not to post, then refer to the manual to see what it flashes the procedure. The buttons used for flashing procedure will be the same to make this post. Only fill the JCMOS1 jumper while the machine is running if you see the post screen, no other time. An easy way to bridge them would be to use a paperclip and bend it on and use the ends of it.

  Hello

  What version of BIOS you have loaded? Version 4.20?

  Normally it shouldn´t do problems, especially after upgrading your BIOS. May I ask if the version of Windows installed on your machine you´d is on the media recovery or from scratch (from scratch means install with a genuine Windows CD and install the downloaded drivers)?

  If everything fails then send you the machine and let check the laptop on certain shortcomings of the BIOS.

• After the last update of BIOS that Satellite P100 locks with BSOD

  Hello

  Due to several problems meeting with updated Toshiba Satellite P100-221 (PSPA6E) launch second online BIOS updated. I have download and I solve problems with my video card and the race of missing keyboard. After a short period, they put on the update of the BIOS rd page 3 drivers.

  I'm trying to find what ever they change with this new update, but I na? t find anything. So I decided to update my BIOS again. Now as a result my system crash very often when I quit & restart my computer (blue screen).

  Microsoft advised me to reduce the video acceleration for video adjustment.
  Maybe can someone explain to me why I have this problem?
  I use the same drivers and software same as in the second update
  I can find BIOS previous to rewrite again, because this one works very well with my laptop?

  Thank you!

  Hi Sebasian

  I use very long books and I've never updated the BIOS if not necessary. What laptop works well, OS stabile, why should I do it? I don t care if new BIOS update is available or not. I've always been skeptical about the updates to the BIOS. That's just my opinion.

  As far as I know, it is not possible to downgrade the version of the BIOS without special tools and it can be done by service partners. It is not easy to tell if the BIOS is responsible for this, but if possible, try to send us illustrated if BSOD errors.

  If I were you I backup all important data and reinstall the recovery image, configure OS for my needs, and make sure that everything is clean pre-installed. My experience with BSOD were always related software.

• How to access the advanced settings of BIOS on Satellite P100?

  Hello.
  I have Toshiba Satellite P100-324.
  How can I access BIOS adv, such as USB Legacy Support settings?
  For example, Free BSD so requires, also my older hardware.
  Help, please! :)

  To enter the BIOS pleas try to press "F2" immediately after booting the laptop.
  I think Phoenix BIOS has been installed on this device, and therefore the F2 key must be correct.

• Squeak inside the Satellite P100-387

  I updated the BIOS in my laptop P100-387, to version 3.30 (from probably 2.20). After that, I hear a silent scream, especially on the left side of the laptop. The intensity of squeak has changed when I run glxgear (in linux with opengl support) and resize the window. The grinding is not audible when the window is maximized.

  This happens on windows and linux. The State of the battery makes a difference.

  I would like to know if there is a Posibility to damage the material. Also, I would like to know if you plan to perform another a BIOS update. If this isn't the case, then where can I find the original version of the BIOS (I forgot to backup)?

  I don't want to send my laptop in the service of the technique, because I can't stay without a computer for 1 month or more.

  Hi Peter

  At first, I just want to say that if you write these questions to Toshiba, you're on the wrong place here. This is a user forum and no place where you can talk directly with Toshiba.

  It is not easy to discuss some strange noises because here on the forum, no one can imagine how it sounds and the best solution is to contact the service and deal with this issue. Of course there is possibility of damaging the material, but here on the forum person cannot confirm with certainty.

  One last thing on BIOS. There is just the latest version of the BIOS available on download from Toshiba site, and you will not be able to find an old. Speak with the service. They can help you and maybe all this ca be repaired in a few days. Please do not panic, make a call!

  What do you do?
  You want to install applications on the hidden partition or what?
  Why did you hide the partition?

  I use also the 8 and I must say that it s a fantastic program.
  I divided my HARD drive into 3 partitions C, D, E
  On C, I have installed Windows operating system and all applications like MS Office for example.

  On the partition D and E, I placed all the documents, files, images, etc.
  As you can see, the programs are installed on the same partition as the operating system Win and I didn't hide all partitions.

  It works very well
