• Dual boot on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

  Computer details: * Satellite A200 PSAE6E... *.
  The laptop came with Vista... I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it ' s working fine * BUT * after reboot, Acronis OSS does not recognize Vista and the computer starts directly with Win XP only. (I need two BONES...)

  I'm looking for a lot of instructions now of hours * dual boot *, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!
  Toshiba came only with the product recovery CD, so all the instructions of MBR and solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all...) it does nothing!

  Is there anyone out there?
  Please... If you can give me no hint at all... it would be just a miracle... Thank you

  Hello

  have you heard of 'Vistaboot'-> http://www.vistabootpro.org/

  A program that allows you to change the bootoptions, so if you want to change the boot settings, then try this program.

  Otherwise, you can also consult the "UBCD4Win" program which is a live cd of windows xp with many tools, you may find something to change the Boot Manager.

  Good luck

  Hello

  It's about dual-boot for Toshiba Satellite M300.

  I bought Toshiba Satellite M300 in January 2009 with preload MS Windows Vista OS, and now I wish to dual boot with Linux.

  Is there a possibility of conflict between Windows Vista and Linux installed and running on the same drive (C :).

  Help, please...

• Dual Boot on Satellite A205-S6808

  I tried to dual boot on my Satellite A205-S6808. I installed W7, and I want to boot with XP Pro.l Lap Top does not accept them Pro.What of XP is possible?
  Thanks in advance.
  Lucanio Ramucci

  Hello

  What do you mean, the laptop does not accept the XP Pro? You can not install Windows xp or it is installed and you cannot start it upward?
  AFAIK, the best solution is to install Windows xp, then Windows (Vista). Otherwise, Windows Xp will delete the bootloader of Windows 7 and you will need to get it back

• Windows XP - Dual Boot for Satellite U300-134

  Hello. I have read other responses to this problem of the addition of Windows XP (as a dual boot) but it still doesn't work. My laptop (I bought a few days ago) comes with Vista, and I bought Windows XP Home Edition - OEM. I got the intel matrix storage manager on a floppy USB drive, but now it gives a message "the txtsetup.oem file is not found." I have XP because it turns out that my work WHAT VPN does not work under Vista (I found that out AFTER I bought the computer unfortunately).

  Can you please tell me what I should do next to get this working? And any other surprises I might encounter? I looked around the internet but cannot find the answers to this. I tried nlite, but have not managed to get this working but either.

  Thank you.
  Ian

  Hello

  There are different reasons why you can not install Win XO on the U300.

  First use the right Manager, Intel Matrix Storage Manager?
  Laptop you seems to support the Intel GM965 + Intel ICH8M chipset!

  Please check this thread!
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  The user Markus77 has listed the details!

  Also please don't format the HARD drive or create any installation AFTER the partitions of the Intel Matrix Storage manager. This would remove the driver already installed.

• Dual-boot on Satellite A300 - 21 H

  Hello

  I'm trying to dual boot this machine with Windows XP Home edition as a second operating system. The drive is already partitioned and ready to take the bone, but when the machine is started with the xp cd it will get only in what concerns the installation of base drivers and you get the BSOD, it is before you get even to specify options etc. I have two of these machines, and they both do the same thing.

  Any help would be fantastic.

  Tom

  Hello

  I think you get the BSOD due to lack of SATA drivers in Windows XP
  You must include the SATA drivers to the Win XP operating system first.
  To do this, the nLite software could be used.

  Google and the search here on the forum for nLite, SATA and Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers there are a lot of discussions on this theme.

  PS: After installing Win XP you will not be able to start the Vista because Vista boot manager would be a shame to Win XP.
  To do this, you will have to start Microsoft Vista DVD (not Toshiba recovery disc!).
  The DVD of Vista would be fix again the Startup Manager and you could start in Vista.

  Then, you need to install the free tool called EasyBCD.
  This tool allows you to change the Vista Boot Manager and include the Win XP on the start menu.
  This menu appears at the beginning and will allow you to choose between Vista and Win XP.

  I did on my laptop and it worked perfectly!

• Dual Boot on Satellite L775

  Think about putting a L775-119, and as I already own a copy of Windows XP, wondering how it would be easy to install Windows XP Home on a L775, in a dual-boot configuration?

  In General dualboot is not problematic, but you should check first if your phone model is supported for Windows XP Home edition.

  You know, new laptops are generally not supported for old WXP so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install old OS on the new machine.

• Dual-boot a Satellite A660-18 - BSOD install Win XP

  I recently bought the laptop above for use on astro photography.
  A lot of the software I use is 32 bit and XP to use so I thought that I could set up a dual boot on the laptop using Win 7 64 bit OS (pre-installed) for processing in CS5 after that I captured the images using XP Pro 32 bits of the image.

  I use XP Pro 32 bit to control the astronomical mount follow-up and to capture images of the Canon DSLR as they won't work on a more recent OS and most certainly will not work on 64-bit and will not work in compatibility or any virtual box modes.

  I started by cutting the main 50 GB partition and creating a new 50 GB partition to install XP Pro on and then tried to install XP Pro from the CD on the new partition. The initial back based races common installation ok with loaded drivers from the CD, but until the installation either by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.

  I would be grateful pointers for getting this working to dual boot, I realize that some of the features of the laptop will probably be lost under XP Pro but I don't need of work for you USB ports connect to external equipment to control system astro and then I can reboot in win7 OS.

  Best regards

  > Based initial backs racing common installation ok with the drivers loaded from the CD, but before the installation is by selecting the partition to install XP Pro system stops with a BSOD and I can only turn off the laptop.
  Please use the forum search option and search of SATA drivers and the installation of Win XP.
  There are a lot of discussions about this...

  The point is that new notebooks need driver SATA to reinstall the OS.
  Win 7 already includes new drivers SATA but Win XP doesn t.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager you can download this from Intel page too.

  I used the program nLite to build a new Win XP CD that contains the SATA driver.

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

• How to install windows 7 in dual boot on Satellite M840?

  Hello

  I've had this laptop M - 840 a week ago, pre-installed with windows 8. I can't replace the operating system with windows 7 as most of my Win 8 incompatible applications. I'm tired of clean install - does not work. I created a NTFS partition and tried to install win 7 on the new partition, but this isn't just beyond 'Windows startup screen. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Kind regards
  C4I - OPS

  >. I'm tired of clean install - does not work

  To install Windows 7 on the laptop of Win8, you must change some settings in the BIOS.
  First of all, you have to disable startup secure in the BIOS.
  Second pass of the UEFI BIOS for the CSM and save the changes.

  Now you should be able to install Win 7

  But before doing this, I recommend that you create the recovery media (Flash disk to USB memory or recovery Toshiba

• Satellite A200 - STARTING problems, freezes on the connection of the power adapter

  My 3 YO A200 (PSAF3A-08202D has developed a problem with starting.
  I can start on battery power with WINDOWS VISTA BUSINESS (after 10 attempts, but freezes immediately when the power adapter is plugged in.)
  Display sometimes boots wide-screen, but mostly freezes before windows welcome.

  When running, the battery produces about 1 to 2 hours before a complete evacuation.
  When executing a battery, computer freezes when I plug Charger AC/DC immediately and going with my A100 charger as an alternative.

  Initial problem was a faulty hard drive and super hot air flow due to fluff the cooling block fan.
  Tech replaced original 120G HDD with 500 G and reloaded at the factory. works well for 3 months, then started with the same problems so conclude original disk HARD was just a secondary issue.

  So maybe fixed I overheated components on the motherboard. Reset of data cards initially fixed a problem starting but is gradually degraded.

  Reading through the forums seems that there is a huge amount of these laptops with similar issues. Is this a design flaw, like my other Satellite A100 is solid as a rock. All forums, which suggests resetting the cpu is running slow or be disconnected seem to be temporary repairs. Boot in safe mode and reset the default settings have no effect.

  A suggestion that a capacitor is at fault seems to be the fix is valid but which involves specialized tools is not available locally. Local agent of Harvey Norman for Toshiba are best part of unnecessary because they can send in Australia from Toshiba. Machine has been close to $2000 and is now worth Zip.

  I am unable to do anything with this machine, as all the ways of upgrading or resetting calls for AC power available and running.

  I'm about to do radical things and hope that this forum can enlighten us.

  Hi Mickaël

  You might be right. It seems that the motherboard is affected.
  Don't know why but higher temperature can still affect the internal parts.
  The temperature may increase if cooling fans n t working correctly. For example dust or debris leads to a higher temperature because cooling air cannot circulate properly.

  I have to clean my laptop's cooling grilles from time to time using a jet of compressed air. This allows to keep the temperature at the lower level.
  Of course the internal temperature is not always a reason for portable computers hardware malfunction equipment can begin to malfunction as always in an other products too: TVs, cars, game consoles

  I bought an extended warranty for my laptop, also for my LCD TV mercy always if a high-end product begin to malfunction and in the case of a warranty claim, the fault can be fixed free of charge.

• Satellite A200-1TS (PSAE6E) freezes

  Hello world

  First of all, my English is very bad, so I hope someone can understand me. In any case thanks for the effort.

  I have a Toshiba A200-1TS I bought 10 months ago. I have two problems that I don't know how to solve. One of the problems is that Vista SP1 starts very slowly, it takes about 4-5 minutes before I can use any program. I have a long startup list, but many of these startup applications come from drivers Toshiba so I guess they can't be disabled. Here is the list I have...

  http://www.imageflux.NET/ver.php?v=774738startup.jpg

  As you can see, I added 3 applications, Comodo Firewall, Antivir Personal Edition and Driver printer HP4380. I installed these applications on my other computer and I don't think they are the reason for the slow start. The boot process is fast until I see the office, then the volume, network and battery icons are loaded, and after that I have to wait 2 minutes see the Comodo or Antirvirus icon...

  I am very disappointed with that because my computer have never started quickly (my sister has a computer with a slower processor (NOT T7500) and does not have these problems). After 10 minutes of my Toshiba becomes what it takes 'Ferrari' (sorry jeje).

  The second problem is more serious. I can't use any of the Fn keys(F1-F12) because my computer hangs when I press the fn (the one which is near the CTRL key). I noticed this problem two months ago (my work leaves me not a lot of time to solve this problem) and I decide to reinstall with the CD of factory two weeks ago.

  Everything was fine, I use no problem for 3 three days and after a Windows Update, I noticed the problem again. Then I formatted my HARD drive and I installed a clean Windows Vista SP1 version (thinking that might be a problem of Factory Settings CD so I spent money for nothing), I installed the drivers from the website of toshiba europe, everything seemed OK, but once again after a Windows Update, I can not push FN key because my computer crashes.

  I don't know if it could be a Windows problem. Yesterday when I went to sleep, worked the keys Fn and hardware configuration. I accept the updates of windows and does not check after the process.

  Today, the computer crashes when I try to load the installer of equipment, or when I press the FN key, so can't change brightness, turn off the touchpad or use the zoom utility (use of flash-cards with the mouse is OK, but I prefer to use the FN keys).

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  I also put t that this could be a hardware problem, due to the fact that your machine and the FN keys worked properly after installing new Toshiba DVD recovery.

  I recommend you to download the new VAP Toshiba Toshiba European pilot page and reinstall.
  You need to remove the old VAP first. Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCleaner (it the free tool) and after a reboot reinstalled the VAP.

• Satellite A200-24 c (PSAE6) - display crashes when the images are zoomed

  Dear Sirs, I can't believe that there is no solution for the product that you produce. As my Toshiba I bought 14 months ago and try to fix it. I have a problem with my map displays 'ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600' when I see photos with Windows Photo Gallery and try to enlarge... display screen will hang and go with black and red blocks!

  I tried to install all kinds of windows (XP - Vista Basic Ultimate). I tried to download all versions of catalyst for the version 6 and 9.7. So what is happening!

  Do you know that most of my friends and the people hated the Toshiba brand because of this bad reputation on the market... remember that Toshiba laptops with Nvidia graphics card doesn't have the same problem. Please please please help me!

  Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

  Sincerely,

  Hello!

  You have installed the Catalyst 9.7 driver. Don't know that this driver doesn't have protection against overheating and could destroy your graphics card?
  I would recommend so install the latest driver of display on the Toshiba site. These drivers are pre-tested on your laptop.

  In addition, I would try to update the BIOS. AFAIK some A200 models are special BIOS available for XP and Vista version.
  Check and update the BIOS!

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-10 x and video crashes when the volume is high aid

  every time I watch a video, and the volume is above a certain level (not even maxed out) the video begins to freeze and the entire system after that... If I turn down the volume of the small wheel at the front, sometimes he gets after several minutes, but some other times, it shows just the Blue error screen and restarts immediately... I almost tried everything... had more memory (2 GB), formatted and installed win 7 32, installed all the latest drivers for this version of windows...

  I'm totally frustrated with this laptop... He had problems from the beginning, I mean, they have launched it with Vista Home and 1 GB of ram which was simply too small for the system working properly... So they forced just buy you mem more because you wouldn't be able to work.

  If someone knows one any solution please help me

  > I have almost tried everything
  Have you also tried to install original recovery image Toshiba (OS that you got with your laptop) and test it with the factory settings?
  What videos you watch? A few stuff downloaded or original DVD movies?

  When you look at the film and the sound is low is all OK?

  I have Satellite P200 and it's the same as yours, but a bit bigger notebook with 17-inch screen. I have 2 GB of RAM inside, and it works perfectly with original Vista and now Win7 32 bit.

• Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
  The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
  Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

  I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
  Any comments?

  Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
  I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

  So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

  If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.

  Best regards
