Installing WXP on Satellite L300 (PSLB8E)

Hello

I have a Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) laptop computer and I want to install Windows XP, but unfortunately, I still get an error message after you start the XP CD (XP Setup has encountered a problem, the Setup will leave...)

Is there a solution?

You use the Microsoft disk to install Windows XP? Then you need the SATA drivers to install in AHCI mode or the consistent value in the BIOS but so will lose some system performance.
In the Forum are already a large number of discussions on this subject, in order to check the threads here.
And take a look at this: http://195.182.196.33/kb0/TSB8602DB0001R01.htm

However, it could also be that the CD is noisy or something else. Try another disc.

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - after update BIOS no longer start

    Hello..
    Please, help me to overcome this problem.

    I downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework of error so I thought to upgrade the BIOS can help solve. I have download a new BIOS which is the exe 2.10, its installed successfully, and then shut down, but never started again. I tried to start it several times. I tried all the keys. I don't see a power led and two battery light.

    I don't know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also does not work. I'm stuck. II had built a bunch of emails to answer that I am lost now.

    Please help me someone.

    Hi dhaval2000in,

    Unfortunately, I think the case is clear: something was wrong because the BIOS update and now your laptop can start t more :(

    The Toshiba Recovery disk will not help you because it doesn't contain any BIOS programs it contains only an image of recovery of Windows with all the drivers and flashing tools.

    In my opinion, please contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of it because the guys do reflash ROM. module
    I m that you can clarify this issue with the technicians and then you can use your laptop again :)

  • Satellite L300-PSLB8E - screen becomes all white and the laptop freezes

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8E. I initially bought with Windows Vista already installed on it. After a few years, I changed the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed the display and all the other necessary drivers (that is, sound, network, etc.).

    After I installed Windows 7, when I use the laptop for a while, the screen becomes all white and the laptop hangs. This happens spontaneously. Sometimes, in less than 10 minutes and other times that it can work perfectly for hours. I checked for loose batteries and other components, but everything seems fine.

    Physical damage only that there is a tiny crack on the screen in the bottom right of the screen. The operating system is not good? If I put windows Vista back as it was?

    Please advise and help understand me what the problem is with the laptop.

    Until we start discussion can you tell me what you do when this happen?
    Hard stop and restart?
    Is everything OK again when you do?

    It is not easy to say what exactly is the problem, but I put t think there is problem with OS and preinstalled display driver. A long time ago I installed Win7 Home Premium on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

    What you can try is to use the external monitor for a while and see if everything works well. If so, there is no problem with the operating system, drivers or graphics card. It may be that the display problem.

  • Re: Satellite L300-PSLB8E works super slow on Windows XP

    I have a Satellite L300-PSLB8E. It came with Vista Home Premium. After I did my recovery DVD, I did a SATA drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site. I did the F6 thing but kept getting always a bluescreen when the installation program got the 'starting Windows' I passed the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without the SATA drive. What is strange, it's the sound LAGS and disk access is super slow. I ran a speed test program and he showed that the performance of the HARD disk are only 5% of the performance in Vista. I actually tested it on another laptop the same which was decommissioned and it had the same problem. Any advice? What is the AHCI Mode?

    > I had the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without SATA drive

    This is the reason why your L300 runs slowly using Win XP.
    You have set the SATA in compatibility mode and now the HARD drive is not able to use the SATA performance.

    Your laptop would be faster using mode SATA and SATA drivers.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8E - connection WLan keeps falling

    Hi all

    Have gotten my Satellite L300 PSLB8E some 2 months ago and since the first day (RTL8187b) wireless is having serious problems.

    Continuous wireless connection drop if other phones that I use at home are very good.
    LAN on the same Satellite works fine as well, it's just wireless problem with this particular machine.

    I have tried to restore the system, using recovery discs, tried every possible update Toshiba as Realtek, but problem remains intact.

    Help, please!

    Mustafa

    Hello

    What version of BIOS you have on your laptop?

    There is a version v1.8 of BIOS on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Check if you have a lower version. If so update!

    In addition, I would recommend WLan driver download Realtek page:
    http://www.Realtek.com.tw/

    You can find the most recent driver.

    Last but not least that it would be a good idea to verify that the settings in the Panel-> WLan card properties-> Advanced tab.
    Here you can change the encryption, the channel and the power saving settings.
    I recommend turning off the energy-saving WLan card.

    You should also update the Vista of the State. I read that Vista has caused a lot of issues that have been fixed with the latest patches and fixes.

  • How to restore the Satellite L300 PSLB8E to factory settings?

    I have problems with repeated "crash" of my system.
    I get the dreaded blue page, which then restarts (usually) pretty quickly.

    I think trying the option 'Restore factory settings', but I've never done this before.
    If I do, which will leave it on my computer?

    I have my own disks which I was invited to do the last few months (I just got this machine since May this year) will be I need it, or is there something else that is needed?

    I have a Satellite L300, PSLB8E, using Vista Home Basic

    Hello

    Hmm. I m wondering if you checked a few discussions here on the same theme.
    Did you?
    There are more that enough son and I m sure you will not need to create this thread after reading some reviews.

    Just a tip; the use of HARD drive recovery option will format the system partition, but the D partition (where the HARD drive recovery files are placed) wouldn't be formatted!

    If you are still not sure after reading some discussions, please ask again ;)

  • Modules common Toshiba is not installed on the Satellite L300-01:00

    Hello

    The common Modules is very important and I can't install it.
    My OS = XP SP2 64 bits SATA
    laptop model: L300 01:00

    There are very many questions on this topic (not the common Modules installed) and support boys don't give a solution.
    That is to say is not possible to install common & other Modules for certain types of laptops.

    These posts are good only for SEO.

    I am unable to reinstall XP again. I saw in the forum "the common Modules is very important, you should always install it as soon as possible". How long? before you install XP? This is a great stupiness.

    Thank you for using the most supportive online namely Toshiba.

    Hello Chris

    Can you please tell me what SEO?

    In any case, what about your ad? Information about the common modules are right, but I don't understand your problem with it. Your laptop is supported for Windows XP Home 32 bit edition, and you want to use 64-bit Windows. So first problem you have is that Toshiba doesn't offer tools and utilities for Windows 64-bit.

    On this point, we can stop the discussion.

    If you want to know how the works of common modules and why is it important, we talk about it too, but it has nothing to do with your question on installing WXP 640 bits on your laptop.

    I'm really surprised Toshiba Guy didn't explain it.

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L30 - 10Y

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L30 - 10Y (PSL33E 03L031EN) (about 2 years), it is running Vista (installed come) and I'll replace it with XP pro SP3.
    I already have the drivers (from the Division of driver Toshiba), but I wonder if there are any issues that anyone knows how I could run in this case?

    I installed OS to my house several times, built offices with absolutely no problems whatsoever, but various articles I read there seems to be a bit of a 'ball game' different when it comes to laptops?
    Also I have Vista disks more so if XP will not install I can not simply go back to Vista.

    Tips, advice or warnings very welcome...

    Thanx

  • Re: How to install HDD on Satellite L300-19Y?

    Hi guys

    I'm not too good with computers but have bought a new HARD drive for my L-series I've been informed that my HARD drive is maybe broken due to errors when I perform chkdsk checks and the fact that it freezes and crashes randomly.

    In any case, could someone tell me how to install the HARD drive? I bought an another similar to the original hitachi in the laptop, that is to say sata, 2.5 ", but got a 250 GB, rather than the 160. What I have to install anything, or have complicated everything to do? I don't know how to install it physically just don't know if I have to use my discs of recovery or something like that?

    Bravo guys

    Hello

    There is no difficult things to do to swap the HARD drive. Which is a fairly simple process and he s done in 5 minutes I think.

    I have the Satellite L300 in front of me. To swap the HARD drive, turn off the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter. On the underside, you can find the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive, you are now able to exchange the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

    Hello, my friend

    To be honest, I don't understand what you mean with this error message. The fact is that report of people here on the problems with the installation of Windows XP Home edition because the HARD drive is not visible when installing WXP begins.

    To install Windows XP edition family on this laptop you need Intel Matrix Storage Manager and you can download it from the Toshiba support page. When installing Windows XP Home edition begins to press F6 and load this driver. The HARD drive will be recognized correctly and you can continue the installation of Windows XP Home edition. The problem is that you need USB floppy drive. You get one somewhere?

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - Driver for Ethernet controller

    Hello

    I just reinstalled Vista (my records of repair so so borrowed a Vista DVD of lost friends). I have installled the LAN driver (here) and can connect to the internet fine (via cable in any case, as I have no wireless).

    Anyway when I go into Device Manager, that the only problem seems to be that there are no installed driver for the ethernet controller, there is no information about drivers when I look in its properties and do not really know what I have to download. If it's something to do with the wireless, I looked at article in the knowledge base on how to determine which type you have and as I said, I can't find any info.
    It is not a problem as such, but I want to just correct if possible.

    Thanks fo all help.
    Jim.

    Hi, Jim!

    I think he should install the WLAN driver for the laptop. I mean if you can browse the internet via an Ethernet cable, network adapter driver is installed and you are now the WLAN driver.

    Then go to the Toshiba page and download the driver for your Satellite L300. The WLAN driver installation can be done in a few minutes, it's really easy.

    Check it!
