• Installation of WXP Pro on Satellite P200

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite P200 today and I want to remove the Vista Home Premium and install a WXP Pro, but I can't do it. There the chipset is Intel GM965 Express. I have compiled a DVD with files for the above mentioned chipset inf, but I have problems, if she sees HARD drive as 110 MB instead of 250 GB. I would really appreciate it if you would tell me step by step what to do to be able to install XP Pro. Thank you very much.

  PS: Sorry if I misplaced this thread

  do not take account of my thread... + solved the problem myself. drives the way I solved the problem is using a recompiled Windows xp pro with an ich + inf for intel. ;)

• Satellite Pro L40-15 has: motherboard problem

  Hi all

  I have a satellite pro L40-15 and it was running vista basic but very slowly.

  A friend advised me that I needed to renew the bios for xp install xp. I did, and now he's dead. The fan is not still running, even if the wireless lights and 3 lights above the power switch will Flash once.

  I took the motherboard out (part number 08g2002ta22jtb). During the inspection, there seems to be a reset button on the plateau (near the battery terminals). It is only accessible with the removed card. Does anyone know haw to restore bios factory settings please?

  Thanks in advance.

  John.

  Hi mate,

  It's cool to you finally disassemble your machine. But you won´t get no benefit from this action given that the bios needs to be reflashed by a technician of toshiba, BECAUSE they have the right tools to do this.

  I don't know how or what tools they use, but I had a similar problem on my Satellite A100 and they fixed without the motherboard. (So it was told to me).

  If I were you, I would send the machine to another and the closest to the ASP (certified partner) in your country. They should bring back your machine to life.

• How to connect satellite Pro L40-15 has to my TV?

  Hello

  I would use the laptop connected to my TV to watch movies. Can be connected using the TV as a monitor and what kind of cable would you use?

  Thank you
  Malc

  To connect the laptop to the TV is very easy. If you look at the user s manuals document you will find exact explanation how proceed.

  If I remember well your laptop should have S-Video output and video signal transfer port, you must use S-video cable. I hope your TV's S-Video IN port. If this isn't the case, you can use different cards.

  Please check this thread and read carefully reading written by Miro. He explained very detailed how to connect the laptop to the TV.

  If you have any other questions please post again.

• Satellite 1800-712: slow after WXP Pro included SP2 installation

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba 1800-712 and I've recently upgraded the memory with another 256 MB.

  Before the upgrade the laptop run very fast because there where loads of unnecessary applications installed. I bought a Windows XP and it installed on the laptop with SP2.

  Since then, the laptop is very slow to access the DVD drive and the HARD drive.

  He ran before that kind of OK with XP Home, but since XP Professional you cannot watch DVD as they stutter and if play you MP3 in Mediaplayer the possibility is also not in sync with the music.

  It seems that there is missing specific IDE drivers or the wrong with those supplied with XP.

  I had a glance on the toshiba site, but the drivers only I can find that there is the display and audio drivers.

  The motherboard seems to be an ALI M5229 Chipset

  I need to restore professional XP and re - install my whole machine with XP Home that comes with it?

  I also tried the DVD player to be upgraded to the latest Firmware but that does no change.

  She is running in UDMA 2 and I tried PIO and I also had a peek into the Bios with IDE Standard or extra but still the same.

  Anyone?

  Hi James,

  In principle your laptop should also work well with XP Pro installed as it did with XP Home. However, I would be inclined to check in the Task Manager to see what processes you really have running and also make sure that your installation of XP Pro is not make the repeated attempts to access a network or network resources.

  Also, I would like to run a disk cleanup and Defragmenter of given that the installation process tends to leave the hard drive in a bit of a mess of the nature of the facility.

  The fact that your DVD stutter when playing suggests that there are other CPU activity going on in the background.

  Kind regards

• Have now installed XP on my Satellite Pro L40-134 that had OS Vista as OEM

  high-definition Intel (azalia) codec adi ad1986a audio

  Hi, I have a problem a lot of time with the sound on my laptop.
  Description
  * No sound
  * An exclamation in device saying management "Audio device high definition Audio Bus".
  I removed Vista (which came with) and installed a genuine XP PRO SP3
  Downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Download Center (used the Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H, this is a similar model with XP as the operating system OEM)
  Installed in the correct order according to "how to install" Toshibas pdf

  Had a typical saying "Audio Modem Bus High Definition Audio" for awhile, but it disappeared during the installation of the drivers in the correct order.

  Now I sculled the Earth for a solution, but found nothing.

  Answers to these questions would be very apprechiated.
  What is my motherboard model name?
  who is the manufacturer of the MoBo?
  Who made my equipped with a sound card?

  The best course would be if I could get a link to a nice download that solved my problem.

  All the best.

  C_sdi

  After reading your ad something was strange for me on this pdf "how to install". Now I know what the problem is here.
  Your laptop model has the name of the European model, but on the European download page, there is no pdf file "how to install".

  Now I wonder what you do exactly.
  If you check the European download page, and it's right for you, you'll notice that Toshiba doesn't offer WXP stuff for your laptop model. So you will be unable to find the proper drivers and Toshiba-specific tools and utilities, and I assume that you will not be able to complete the configuration and installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Anyway, you can try to find the proper drivers that Googling around or you can try install stuff designed for model laptop similar but I can't say for sure if it works or not.

  On your Satellite pro motherboard is Intel 943GML + Intel® ICH7-M, then you can try to find suitable driver on Intel support page. Sound chip is ADI AD1986A.

  Good luck.

• Satellite Pro L40 - 15A - Windows XP screen white when the cover is open

  Hey,.

  So when I closed the lid on my laptop for a while and then reopen the lid, the screen remains white (black). The only way I found to get back on the screen is to re-boot.
  In power management, I put 'Status quo' for when I close the lid on my computer and power management is ' Always on '.

  I have the latest Bios and updates to the system.

  Satellite Pro L40 - 15A

  Any help appreciated.

  Hi ib1.

  You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or is it your own installation?

  What to update the display driver? Take a look at the Toshiba page for the new display driver:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Don t forget to look in the * archives * on Toshiba page because this model is a little older, so all of the downloads are moved in archive.

• Satellite Pro L40 and it crashes and freezes

  Hi guys

  I have a Satellite Pro L40 and it crashed on me a few weeks ago.
  It will turn upward, but everything freezes.

  They gave me a copy of Vista to friend, but this only loads until it said 74.5 MB necessary and only 74.4 on the partition so I guess it does not load the full program of vista.

  I don't have the original backup drive so cannot use it.
  Is my only need to get a new hard drive and if what kind do you recommend.

  Sorry if I have'nt it explains very well

  Derek

  In my opinion, it is always good to have original Toshiba DVD facilities. If you want to order a visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx, and how much you should pay for it.

  As Akuma wrote before starting installation Vista delete existing partitions, create new and install Vista on it. I don't think that you need a new HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro L40 - sound after installing Windows XP SP3 driver

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite Pro L40 about 6 months ago and the speed of the laptop is too slow with windows Vista. So I decided to install an old copy of windows XP that I had purchased earlier. I updated the windows SP3 installation before installing the drivers.

  Now, all the drivers have been installed correctly except the audio driver. I downloaded the XP version of the driver on the toshiba site, but it did not work. So I though that maybe the vista version would work, so I downloaded that. But that no longer works.

  Can someone suggest a solution where I can get the audio driver to work? Preferably without having to get the reinstalled windows again.

  Please help me...!

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro L40 - freezing recovery utility

  Hello

  I'm trying to restore my Satellite pro L40 via the recovery CD. The utility starts and then as soon as I select a language the recovery utility screen freezes with the list of countries endangered and section of flag having a small gray box that just overlap it.

  Does anyone have ideas, what is? I've never been able to get this new laptop to work, it is not the first time I turned it on and then I ordered a recovery CD and recovery utility is now a failure as well.

  This question is unclear to me. I got several notebooks A200 and P200, but I have never seen anything like it. If you aren't really able to use recovery DVD I recommend you contact the service provider authorized in your country. They can order for you the new copy.

  You may have some Microsoft CD/DVD installations to see if the installation of the OS can be finished without any problems. I really hope that this problem occurs due to recovery media.
