• The new use of recovery of Windows XP with my q Satellite Pro P300-19?

  I just bought a Satellite Pro P300-19 q with Vista pre-installed. I want to use Windows XP Professional instead and understand that I must use the DVD titled "Product development - Microsoft Windows XP Professional" supplied with the machine. To do this, however, the provided information sheet is not very useful when he says only: «you will have to load this...» »

  My question is: How do I do it from running the disc in the DVD player, just reveals several files which none will get me nowhere?

  Any help would be welcome.

  The recovery of Windows XP product disc contains an image of a Windows XP installation ready with all the drivers and tools.

  Before installing Windows XP, you should burn the Vista recovery disk because if you want to restore Windows Vista you will need this disc. So, you can restore the computer back to wherever it was when you originally received.
  So far as the recovery image (Vista) is only stored on the HARD drive and so you can burn it to a DVD:
  Click on the Toshiba recovery disc creator and insert a blank DVD. Then follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will be created.
  You are now able to boot from this DVD and install Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings).

  When you reinstall Windows with a recovery disk, the HARD disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost. This means that as other partitions so backup your data first.

  If you are using Vista it s also able to restore the factory since the HARD drive settings. Therefore, the files are stored in the folder HDDRecovery.
  So, if you want to put your mobile PC, press F8. Then you can see the menu and there advanced boot options, select repair your computer.
  Follow the instructions on the screen and the laptop will also reinstall.
  But don't forget, this (HARD disk recovery) feature is only available with Vista, not XP.

  So if you understand this and burned the Vista recovery disk, you can start to install Windows XP.
  Boot from the XP Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation of Windows XP does not have a lot of time and this procedure is similar to Vista. After installation you also have an installation with all drivers and Toshiba tools but with Windows XP of course.
  This is the content of the Windows XP Recovery disk.

• Satellite Pro P300 - update graphic card and CPU

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

  I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

  Hello

  Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

  In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
  Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
  The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

  Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

  I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
  The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

  I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

  Any advice on how to remedy this?

  Hello

  If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
  Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

  But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
  Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
  If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.

  Hello

  The European driver Toshiba page provides two audio Conexant drivers for this model of laptop.
  + Driver sound + 4.36.10.0
  + Driver sound + 4.83.1.0

  I recommend the new version 4.83.1.0
  Uninstall the old driver first in the Device Manager.

  Restart the device and install the new downloaded drivers.

  Hope this helps to get better sound quality :)

• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro P300 - how to upgrade Intel GM965 display driver?

  Hello

  I do not found how can I update my graphics driver from the Web from Toshiba website. I found some other updates, but not this one...

  And I have a problem with a game (Starcraft II) with "igxprd32" which seems to refer to the Intel Graphics accelerator driver.

  When I go to the update site Intel it tells me:
  "A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. "

  Thanks in advance for your help

• Satellite Pro P300-26U - can I use a second HDD?

  Satellite P300 obligations food raid0 and double HARD drive. All models? Manual of 26U don't say a word on the subject. Model as P300-1BP has double HARD drive.
  Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.

  Thank you.
  Guido

  Hi mate,

  Who said that the Satellite Pro P300 takes supported RAID? AFAIK P300 series don't have RAID controller and in the specifications detailed on the Web from Toshiba site I can't find anything about this

  Satellite P300 it of only possible to use a second HDD if it has a second HARD drive connector. You can check it if you remove the second HARD drive. If you can see a second HARD drive connector, you can use a second HDD.

• Satellite Pro P300 just died on me

  Hello

  Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) died just the'm... no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the power button it is DEAD.
  The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still give me almost 20volts.

  I took the laptop goes to check the DC in connector, it's ok.
  I guess that, after some research, it is a fault of the motherboard. In general my warranty missed 2 months ago!
  A new motherboard replacement so far here quoted costs £180, not too eager to pass that as I have a tax account at the end of this month!

  Any ideas of what could be the problem?
  I found a mobo on eBay which is a course of p300-1 to 8 for a song, but which would be compatible?
  What are all the variations in motherboards?
  Any other motherboard would be compatible?

  All ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated, and I thank everyone in advance for ideas.
  See you soon
  Steve

  I think motherboard is dead too. My brother had a similar issue when he wanted to connect the external HARD drive.
  Simply, there is an electro shock and from that moment the cell phone was dead. No reaction at all. Drive external HARD even was dead and it smells like burned plastic.

  Anyway, if you want to have the same hardware, you can buy identical mainborad of a PSPC1E model.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 18Q - upgrade to Windows XP

  My colleague is about to buy a new laptop Satellite Pro P300 - 18 Q and asks me to perform the downgrade it to XP.

  Are there instructions with the machine on the way to do it. ?
  I know that it comes with Vista and XP Professional as recovery on DVD media.

  Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  If this laptop comes with Windows XP Home edition recovery media, I don't understand why ask you the next question. Your colleague can decide which operating system they want to use. If he wants to use the Windows XP using WXP home edition recovery media and install the Windows XP Home edition operating system.

  Someday, if he wants to use Vista, it can install it using sent Vista recovery image.

  I hope you understand what I mean.

• Satellite Pro P300-1EC - cannot get wireless to work

  Hello!

  First of all. Excuse me for my English!

  TEC Spec.

  Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1EC
  Intel WiFi Link 5100
  Windows XP Pro SP3

  I have a big problem. I can't get the wireless LAN working properly.
  And the customer has purchased this computer because his old computer stopped working with WLAN...

  I tried everything I can. And I am a person of educated tech, so I think I should have the knowledge of this, but I do not have.

  Short version.

  1. install the latest drivers. (Also tried more aged)
  2 restart the computer.
  3 WNIC takes about 10 min to find WLAN.
  4. While working perfect with 130Mbps on project N.
  5.i can user logout and change and all.
  6. when I restart I'm back at number 3.

  Long version:

  I installed XP pro since the XP downgrade Cd included and wireless drivers wasn't on that CD so I downloaded them. (And Yes. "This is the correct drivers.)
  After that I installed the driver and restart my computer, I could not find wireless networks. Kind of weird because I have 4 routers/points of WLAN on my company with the range 60-100% and about 3 other public routers without security. I tried to update the drivers to windows update, and WU has found an update for me. I installed driver and the wireless highlight function. I scream YES and restart the computer. Then it stopped working. N° !!!
  I was a little tired on the problem and began installing some other computers that I bought and when I looked the Toshiba computer that I saw that it was connected to my WLAN. Weird, but I thought it worked then I restart the computer again and then his does not work... again! Now, I have analyzedthe problem and it's like that.

  When I start the computer the my WNIC does not any WLAN.
  About 10 min (10m32s) after starting the wireless started working.
  I am able to disconnect and change the user and it still works, but as soon as I restart the computer it stops and I have to wait another 10 minutes. And so on.

  Anyone been trough something like this even if it is not not toshiba or my model?

  Hello

  What is the Satellite Pro P300 - 1EC BIOS is up-to-date?
  Please check everything first.

  You said you are using Draft N did you tried to establish the WiFi connection using other standard WLan as 802.11 A or G?

  I also recommend changing the WiFi channel and try other channels.

  In addition, you can change a WLan option that affects the WLan functionality. You can find these settings in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY: Vista does not display computers XP network group

  Hello!

  Have you disabled the firewall on the XP computer?
  Maybe a 3rd party security software is blocking it.

  Check the registry and go to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\lanmanserver\parameters
  In this case don't Scream no entry with the name of Hide.
  If you have such an entry, delete it.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P300-20 q - I need 64-bit XP drivers

  Hello.
  We are dealers Italians.

  We, our customer bought a Satellite Pro P300-20 q PSPCDE-01V003IT, he needs 64-bit Windows XP to work.

  We can not find the drivers for these devices:
  Audio device on High Definition Audio (Conexant) Bus
  (AuthenTec) fingerprint sensor
  (Unknown) mass storage controller
  Device modem on Bus High Definition Audio (Conexant)
  For audio and modem we already tried the driver for XP on site support but not installed and report this error mmdriver.inf found c:\windows\system32\, even if this file is there.

  For the fingerprint sensor package install just the software but not the driver because that missed the file: atswpdrv.sys. The file is not in the package.

  For mass storage controller, none of the files of this laptop corresponds to this device.

  Also: The electric driver for XP for the Alps touchpad in the support site does not work with XP 64-bit.
  Tips for solving these problems?

  Thanks, hope to receive a reply soon because what is urgent.

  I thank once again.

  Have you checked the European Toshiba driver download site?
  Well, I think the case is clear. Support from Toshiba doesn't Windows XP 64 bit on all laptops and Satellite Pro P300 it s the same.
  I think that's bad new for you.

  The only solution is to search on the external Web site or on the site of the factory unit.
  If you n t get all the drivers it s time to install another OS.
