• Need SATA drivers for installation of WXP on Satellite L40 - 18Z

  Hello

  I bought my laptop in a local computer store and I was not given any CD or anything. I recently had to replace the HARD drive due to issues listening "classics." In any case trying to reinstall my personal copy of Windows Vista I had to include the SATA drivers to install.

  I downloaded those required for Windows XP, and it worked well before that, incidentally, but now when I try he doesn't know... I even tried to install Windows Seven, but this has always had the same problems. For the moment, I'm just under Ubuntu, but I really need windows for my work.

  SATA what drivers do I need to install Windows Vista? - And before someone says; the BIOS does not allow IDE emulation, or a other SATA mode.

  Thanks I would really appreciate any given notice...

• Satellite L40 - 18Z - how to turn on wireless?

  I have Satellite L40 - 18Z running Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

  I've had a few cases where the wireless seems to have failed. On this instance, the LED at the front does not shine despite the switch is either off or on position. I checked the network card settings and it is activated. I have disabled/enabled the adapter, but without success. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver - with no success. I checked for the latest drivers, but they are already installed.

  I also deleted and reinstalled the adjacent wireless card to memory, there still without success. The network and sharing Center diagnosis indicates only that the without wire must pass away - but I am unable to do so.

  Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

  Hello

  The WIFI connection can be activated in different ways: with the hardware switch you have ever tried and key combination FN + F8.
  So have you activated the wireless network card by pressing FN + F8?

  From my own experience, I can say that the WLAN led is only if you use this key combination too.
  Check this box!

  In addition, you wrote on reinstall drivers WLAN you have installed you exactly? The most recent and pre-tested WLAN drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

  Last but not least, I also updated the BIOS, if nothing else works.

  Hello.

  I just bought a Satellite L40 - 18Z. I tried to connect to the internet wireless, but I get the following message: "this computer doesn't have a card installed and configured wireless network."

  When I bought it I was told that it was active wireless.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello!

  Have you checked if the hardware switch wireless on the front of the laptop is on?

  You have yellow exclamation points?
  The wireless adapter is recognized?

  Maybe you should also update the driver and/or BIOS.

  Thank you

  Hello
  You said, did you check if the device is properly installed in Device Manager. Is there a red X on the wlan module in the list? And he must have this name: RTL8187B.

  There are several ways to enable the wlan on your laptop. One, is the hardware switch of your laptop, the other thing you can try is a combination of FN to FN + F8.
  You can control if the WiFi is working when you see the symbol of the LED is on or not.

• Satellite L40 - 18z - what motherboard can use

  Hello

  my laptop has a motherboard very defective toshiba satellite L40 - 18z model no PSL48E-033008EN.
  My question is; are there other phones I could use to replace my motherboard with.

  I'm looking on ebay etc for a laptop of donors but they are few and far between, where the question on the search for another brand/model that would suit.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Laptop motherboards are always different so that there is not a lot of opportunities.
  You must use a motherboard that has been developed for Satellite L40 / Pro L40 series.

  But note; new motherboard is one expensive laptop parts maybe that it s better to buy a second hand instead of the new motherboard unit. I think it would be a less costly solution

• Satellite L40 - 18Z: warnings of Tempo that 75% of the memory has been used

  My dad recently bought a satellite L40 - 18z.

  Tempo began to give warnings that 75% of the memory has been used.
  When I checked there a 74 GB HDD with 3 partitions top - 1.46 GB (which I assume is the recovery partition), GB 37.26 labeled 'Vista', containing the OS and all the rest, and finally Go 35.80 labeled 'Data' which is empty.

  The partition 'Data' is necessary?

  Or do I have to move all of the documents on this partition, and if so why not been put there by default?

  My father is not very computer and I find it strange that the hard drive is not that way. It could very easily write the Vista partition and thought it was! And ended up paying someone to put a bigger HDD in or sorting.

  It seems to be no mention of partition 'Data' in the documentation or advice on how to use it.

  > Is the partition 'Data' necessary?
  Well, you can use this partition for data storage.
  I mean you don t need to store files such as mp3, jpg, etc. on the system partition, but on this partition.

• 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

  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?

• Cannot install VAP on Satellite L40

  Hey people,

  I have a model of Satellite L40 - S13, which I formatted today. In this process, I installed Win 7 (32 bit).

  Now, the FN keys do not work. I read, so I have to install the Flash Cards Support utility and Vaule added package.

  The installation of the Flash Cards Support utility has no problem, but I can't geht the VAP to work. I tried the version of Win 7 and vista version. I always get the following error message: ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE.

  So I read, I have to update my bios. I downloaded the update to the Bios of toshiba home page, but even that does not work.

  Can you help me please, I'm kind of stuck here. Searched the Internet for hours and downloaded like 20 different packages...

  Thanks in advance,
  Kind regards
  n.

  It is sometimes problematic to install and get configuration working 100% on old machines with Win7.
  For example, I installed Win732bit on two Satellite A300 with no problems. I installed VAP only without flash cards support utility and everything works perfectly, so I think you don t he need for your L40, no more, just VAP.

  Have you tried already?
  Now is better to install OS again and start over.
  After that OS installed driver chipset display driver, driver sound utility password and then VAP.

  It is not so easy.
