• Satellite P305-S8832 - media buttons do not work with Win7

  Hello friends, wise

  I recently installed two new hard drives (500 GB 7200 RPM OS / 500 GB 5400 RPM DATA) and I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit on my 3 1/2 Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832. Everything except the media buttons works well enough.

  I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba repository, including the installer of the Software for Windows 7 Toshiba and package valued Toshiba. These touch buttons above the keyboard and between the speakers still doesn't work, no light, no response, nothing. I checked the bios.

  These buttons work out of the box with Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  Any advice?

  Hello

  In General, the multimedia keys are controlled by VAP (value added package) and the buttons should work after the installation of VAP.

  Found the drivers here:

• Satellite P305-S8832 - NXP Tuner utility DOES NOT WORK!

  Hello friends, wise

  My machine is a Satellite P305-S8832 (three months) Windows Vista Home Premium fully updated and virus-free. Everything except the tuner FM works fine. In fact, the Fm tuner to work initially. I had not used for the two last month and today, whenever I start the application of FM tuner, it happens, but there's no signal no matter which radio station or I get out all the sounds. I reinstalled the application using the provided by Toshiba Recovery DVD, but nothing takes place.

  I went to the Toshiba site to search for an updated driver, but the site is inaccessible for maintenance :-(. Search Google doesn't have something useful.

  Any advice of mine from sabby here in the forum?

  Hello

  To be honest this tuner does not for me because I use the European model of laptop and I presume this tuner is available on mobile phones in the United States only. Because of this I recommend you to look for the solution to the US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1

  Sorry, buddy, but I think that you may have more luck there.

• Satellite P305-S8832 - is second possible drive HARD internal

  Hello friends,

  I recently got a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832, which came with a Toshiba 250 GB HARD drive.
  The machine has a second SATA slot. I opened it and Wow!

  A sata connector was there! As the cover of the location 'has 5 pins little stick down' I cut carefully and soft as a result of the borders so I was able to throw a WD SATA 250 GB HARD drive there. I was able to screw the cover in his position without problems at all.

  Now the second HD works perfectly as data storage.
  I moved all of my folders in C:/USERS to it. This way my drive C is dedicated only to the system, software, and the other (E) only for data. Just open and try! A WD SATA 320 GB 7200 RPM, would be an excellent option for this location.

  Thanks much for this information.
  It might be useful to other people here in the forum :D

  Hello

  It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

  First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

  Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

  If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

• Installation of Win XP on Satellite L40 - 18Y

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y Vodafone along whit the preinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium. I want to put Windows Xp but it sems that the installer does not recognize the HARD drive (in the BIOS displays the HARD drive). I have

  have shearched other threads and found answer but seems that doen't work. I have a USB flash drive. My flash is considered to be a boot and I can install windows on it for :).
  Help pls to install Windows Xp (to see the HARD drive) and pls if can tell links to all the programs that I have to download and what to do the passing noobis :)

  Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  If the laptop is a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download and Flash the BIOS on the Vista BIOS XP.

  If the installation of XP does not detect the SATA hard drive, simply turn compatibility SATA Mode in BIOS if this option is available.

  If this option is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

  (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
  If an individual F6 driver is unavailable, download and uncompress the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: database ICH7M_32bit for an ICH7 chipset during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

  (2) copy the files from the driver F6 (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk. For example, A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

  (3) use a Toshiba USB floppy drive with the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

  (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that the disk is inserted in the floppy USB drive.

  (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

  (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue. For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

  (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation. Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.

• Re: Installation of Win XP on Satellite L300

  I want to install Win XP on my laptop, but when I come to the part of the set up to select the disk to install at all I have is a FAT 700 MB drive.

  What do need me to let him see all 104 GB SATA HDD and how do I use the program?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Windows XP offers a format function in specific SETTINGS.
  It asks to format the disk to NTFS.

  If you need to format it first!

  I assume that you have already installed the SATA driver. Is this good?
  Such SATA driver is usually necessary to recognize SATA HDD.

  If you don t have an external floppy drive to install the SATA driver, then use nLite free application that would be you can create a new XP CD and include the SATA drivers.

  For more details please check this doc from Toshiba:

• A few questions after the downgrade of Win 7 on Satellite U940 - 11L

  Hello

  friend of mine bought the Toshiba Satellite U940 - 11L which had Windows 8 on it, due to some reasons that she wanted to have Windows 7 installed on it, which was pretty easy.

  Trouble came with the installation of the Symantec touchpad, after installing the drivers, it worked for about 10-15 minutes but then it stopped working.

  Tried to uninstall and install again but no luck, found a few discussions where it was suggested to remove all the devices, remove the battery and the power cord.

  Press the power button for 15 seconds and then power back on but still not lucky (I wasn't in the restoration of the default settings of the Bios I did not any change it outside disabling secure boot and replacing UEFI CSM that was needed to run win 7 on it).

  Tried about 4 different sources when it comes to the drivers but still does not work. I checked the Device Manager Dev but see no conflict, and it shows that the unit works fine but the problem persists. Please note that the drivers were specific to windows 7.

  Please if you have any suggestions we would greatly appriciate it.

  On another note, I'm not able to install the bluetooth it (HW ID shows as ACPI\TOS6205), I tried to install it several times but no luck because it always shows as unknown device in the dev Manager. The driver that I use is Bluetooth Filter Driver Package as info.

  Also, the computer is slower than it was with Windows 8, I suspect the reason for this is the fact that the installation of win 7 I accidentally erased part of the hybrid drive SSD (the size was 11.2 GB if I remember correctly, yes silly me...). I wasn't looking for a while on the net to see if there is a way to fix it but no luck so far.

  Thank you very much for your time and your suggestions!

  With regard to the question of the touchpad.
  To my knowledge, the touchpad should work even if the Synaptics touchpad driver has not been installed. Windows system contains own driver that control the touchpad and provide standard settings. Of course after installing the Synapatics driver, you should get a few more options and features more touchpad.

  I recommend you to download the driver for the touchpad from Synaptics driver page and install it again: http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers

  With regard to the problem of BT.
  The laptop supports WLan Intel (Intel Wireless-N 2230) card that supports BT connectivity. Bt driver filter pack is ONLY necessary if you laptop would use an Atheros WLan card or Realtek WLan card. For the Intel WLan modules such package of filter is NOT necessary. To get BT to work, you must install the battery Toshiba BT!

  Hey Buddy

  First of all, you can install all possible OS on your P305.
  It true s that the P305 has been pre-installed with the Vista operating system, but of course, you will be able to use other OS like Win XP

  Why you n t check the European driver Toshiba page and choose the show Satellite P300. It of similar to the Satellite P305 (U.S. series) and you'll find the Conexant audio driver!

  As far as I know at this time the 3.47.1.50 versions seems to be a more recent.

• TouchPad does not scroll with Win 7 on Satellite A200 PSAE3E

  Hello

  I have a little problem with the touchpad after update my OS for Win7 (x 86 32-bit).
  Scrolling with the latest drivers for Win7 from Toshiba and Synaptics does not work well.

  14.0.3.0 driver version (2009-08-27) Toshiba A200 PSAE3E

  Does anyone have a solution?

  Best regards

  Hello

  > scroll with the latest drivers for Win7 from Toshiba and Synaptics does not work well.
  Is this means that the scroll function is available after the installation of Win 7?

  UM, to me, looks like you need configure the touchpad function.
  You can do this in Control Panel-> mouse-> device settings
  There should be an additional tab containing the options of touchpad

  Here, you could change and increase the contact surface is needed for scrolling and similar you could increase the sensitivity too

• Satellite P305-S8822 - withdrawal of the dedicated graphics card

  Dear members of the forum,

  probably due to a fault of the graphics card dedicated to my

  Toshiba Satellite P305-S8822 (PSPC4U - 02T 014)
  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T 5550
  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card
  3072 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM
  200 GB Serial ATA hard drive

  I'm not able to install Windows 7 or an another Version of Windows. Because I don't have the dedicated graphics card (only the onboard integrated graphics card) and found no BIOS option to turn it off, I would like to remove it from the motherboard. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out whether or not the ATI graphics card is welded (which this would make very difficult). Thanks a lot for your answers and a better idea to solve the problem.

  To be honest, it won't be easy to solve your problem. Why?
  Many people who have mobile machines the same logic valid for desktop computers. Exchange upgrade or hardware components on mobile units is very limited and you can simply swap the GPU or change the BIOS settings.

  If the GPU is faulty in many cases entire motherboard must be replaced. I don't know what other people will write here, but what you can do is contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice what can be done about it.
