• Satellite P100-387: how reintall Windows XP Media Center Edition

  Hello

  I work with P100-387. Today, I realized, that there is a problem with the new upgrades for windows and update for Office 2007. I'm not able to open Word. Excel is workin, Power Point also. Opening remarks, the remains of screen splash long (about 3-4 minutes), the menu is being loaded, but when I try to click on something... does not.
  I tried to delete some KB, but nothing helped. I have downloade also all the updates for Office 2007 - still does not.

  If the last option is to reinstall Windows. Please tell me how to do?

  I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message (for the time being, I have 4, and I want to do all the time with all the data). My goal is to format only C: (the system) and install the fresh news or Windows XP MCE.

  Please give a solution, how to solve this problem.

  Best regards

  > I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message

  Well generally it of true the recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions and set the laptop to factory settings.

  But the question is; what recovery CD Toshiba do you have? I presume that it is the new version of the recovery CD because the laptop Satellite P100-387 is not very old.

  You can choose between the Standard recovery mode and Expert mode?
  Using the expert mode you should be able to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.

  But if it is not able to choose between these two recovery modes, then I guess you have the new recovery called RECO CD and there is no other choice than to format the whole HARD drive. In this case, the backup of the data would be desirable

  Of course, you can use the original CD of Microsoft. Using this CD, you will be able to install the OS on the single partition without format the whole HARD disk.

• System recovery media is not delivered with my new Satellite P100

  Hello world.

  Two weeks ago, I bought my first laptop of Toshiba (P100-324). Before, I had many doubts about the facilities of Toshiba. Now I have to say that I am really very pleased with the quality of your product. The laptop itself is great and everything works fine.

  Except a problem: in the box, it there was only one disc: the CD entitled "Express Media Player Recovery CD. When I checked the database online of the Toshiba with my s/n, she showed a Windows recovery DVD in the package list. So I did what you guys recommend to: contacted * all * the FSA in Poland. Surprisingly, the quality of the customer service was not so good. Each of them told me as if there were no real DVD in the box, it MUST be a hidden partition on my HARD drive, and if I want to buy the CD/DVD with the operating system (I have a license/sticker OEM to use: XP MCE) I pay about 20 EUR

  Wow. A price of 20 EUROS for a single value of CD... 5 cents? (the media itself, not the software) In fact, when I was paying a lot of money for my laptop I expect something more in terms of customer service. But anyway, I'm just one customer, probably worth less than nothing to the FSA. So, after this long and boring, prologue here are my questions:

  (1) should there be another DVD in my Inbox that contains the Windows XP MCE OEM installation?

  (2) otherwise - y at - it technique uber-elite that Toshiba is using to hide the Windows recovery partition me? There are only 2 partitions on my HARD drive: one with 250 MB (which is IMHO far too small to contain all the windows + drivers) and one that fills the disk completely (~ 200 GB). Is there some magic bios that would display the partitions one another?

  (3) otherwise - is it possible to "produce" somehow a windows recovery DVD? I mean, on my c: drive is CMPNENTS, I386, directories VALUEADD I somehow recognizes Windows installation CD. However, when I try to use nLite on the root of c: (or the i386 directory), it indicates that not all the installation files are present.

  (4) and finally - how do I reinstall my Windows XP MCE?

  I really, really need to have an option to reinstall my operating system. It would be a shame for Toshiba that I had to buy another copy of Windows XP Home edition oem (and scratch the key oem sticker).

  Hello Tomasz

  First of all, I am very pleased to hear that you are satisfied with your new P100. Right now I use the older Satellite M70 with ATI graphics card, but I think buying Satellite P100. Satellite P100 has long been on the market and I hope that very soon, Toshiba P100 successor. Maybe something like P200 and I think I'll wait a few months see what happens in the future.

  Back to your question:
  As far as I know recovery DVD should be bundled with the new and original packaged product. On your laptop, it is also preinstalled Express Media Player. It's a small application based on Linux that allows you to watch DVD movies or listen to audio CDs without booting the operating system. It is preinstalled on small partition unallocated. Express Media Player using supplied restore CD you can install it anywhere, anytime. As I said recovery DVD should be supplied with your laptop. But in this whole one thing confused me: autour Googling, I discovered that the Satellite P100-324 is available in Germany and Austria. Because of this I really don't know how you could buy this product in Poland? Have you branch new or perhaps as some showroom products.
  Please give some info about it.

  Maybe is my view too long but I wanted to just tell you one thing. May be pretty important thing: many users mix of Toshiba service and authorized partners. Each authorized service partner is not directly Toshiba. All these partners are independent companies that have contracts with Toshiba (and very often with other laptop manufacturers) and they repair laptops. Please note that they operate as independent businesses and create prices on its own (free market). If there is a communication problem you cannot say: bad or bad service from Toshiba. Yes, in a certain way, they represent Toshiba but if personal service is not qualified or hostile he really has nothing to do with Toshiba himself.

  They are also right on self-created recovery DVD Toshiba a few notebook models are supplied without the recovery DVDs and the user must create one. But it is absolutely not the case with your P100. For most computers business notebooks have this option as Portege and Tecra.

  Dear Tomasz at the end it is not easy to say what you need to do. If you have a portable German perhaps it is best to order the DVD of recovery on your tongue. He's still irritated when you have additional costs but 20 euros is not a lot of money. Fill in your new toy and enjoy your life.

  Bye and good luck!

• Where can I find drivers for XP for Satellite P100-437?

  I need urgent help!
  Where can I download the drivers for TOSHIBA Satellite 100-437 P?
  I want to change my Opperating Vista system and install the older version of Windows XP. I met a lot of problems under Vista.

  I did score and when I want to recover using the recovery disk utility provided with the system, I got a big surprise: I lost all my data and all my partitions.

  This is a great stupidity and that's why I want to change this Vista OS with the old Win XP.

  Hello

  > I did partition and when I want to recover using the recovery disk utility provided with the system, I got a big surprise: I lost all my data and all my partitions

  Why it was a surprise? It is known fact that the defined recovery CD notebook on factory settings!
  This means that the whole HARD disc will be deleted. This procedure will delete all partitions and formats the HARD drive! Nothing unusual

  OK, now something about XP drivers
  I m wrong but as far as I know the Satellite P100-437 is a part of the PSPAGE series.
  The number can be checked at the bottom of the unit.

  I visited the driver Toshiba Europe page and found this number and all compatible drivers.
  Choose the right series, pilots and be happy B-)

• Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

  My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

  Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

  Best regards

  Yvonne

  Hello

  You need description step by step? Come on man :)

  Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
  Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

  In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

  Best regards

  Goodbye ;)

• Satellite P100-257 does not work with the new drive HARD WD SATA II 320 GB

  Please could someone knows how to solve my problem.
  I bought new HARD drive to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite P100-257:
  Western Digital SATA II WD3200AAKS 320 16 MB
  (Originally was installed Toshiba MK6034GSX 60 GB HARD drive)
  When installing Windows XP (from Toshiba disk recovery or all other disks), when the Installer starts copying the files to the temporary directory HDD (after HDD format) encounter a problem like "cannot write files to the HARD drive.
  I tried to format the drive before installation (even to split to 2 smaller logical drives).
  Also I have updated the BIOS at 2009-03-04.
  But nothing changes.
  What is the problem?

  Hello

  It seems that the HARD drive has been recognized because you can receive the error message about the Master Boot Record.

  I think that there is something wrong with the partitions on the HARD disk.
  I put t know how you formatted the HARD drive, but I think that you must first reinstall the operating system on a partition in order to check the functionality of the HARD drive.

  Once you have started using the Windows XP disk, try to create more than one partition and this format to NTFS. Then follow the installation of the OS!

• Re: Satellite P100-160 - is there a Wireless N card?

  Hello

  is there a WIFI Wireless N card which you can adapt the P100-160?

  Anyone know?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  I have of course there are a lot of network WIRELESS n draft cards they will be insert in Satellite P100, but I think that you will not be able to use the draft N speed because need you so 3 instead of 2 m antennas.

  It s doesn't know only not for me that some Satellite P100 has been bundled with the project so I m sure that 2 antennas are not installed.
  With other words, it would be useless if you upgrade project ;) WIRELESS n network adapter

• Pascal boot from a DVD on my Satellite P100

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100. I want to boot on a DVD. When the computer starts, the screen goes from black to the Welcome to windows screen, and there is no message that indicates which key to press to access the boot menu. I tried to press F2 or F12, but if I do the screen remains black and that windows won't even start. F1 or F10 or del have no effect. ESC for 5 seconds, either.

  A few weeks ago (I did not any changes in bios or anything like that, what I did is updated on windows), I had a white line that says press key (F12), but now this is not more. I don't even have the toshiba logo.

  I flashed the BIOS with the latest update, with no result.

  Edit: I have new intel: since the problem seems to come from the screen (some keys (F2, F12) 'work' in the sense it does something special, rather than just logging on to windows and this unusual thing they do is to make the screen stay black - as if the screen wasn't turned on yet, but the computer was waiting for a response from the user) I tried to connect my laptop to another screen. I have counfounded the vga cable ends and ends by connecting my laptop to a desktop instead of his screen. The result of this was rather strange: when my laptop is connected to a desktop computer, the laptop screen is lit normally, and I see the toshiba logo and the boot/bios menu shortcuts. Other that taking the power of the display, the connection had obviously no effect: I don't see the content of the desktop on my laptop, I just saw my laptop because I usually do, and it's because the vga port is usually intended to be connected to another screen and not to another computer.

  So what do you think about this experience, which is certainly interesting, and you now see what could be my problem and so how to fix?

  Thank you.

  PS: If you have more questions/details, please do not hesitate to ask.

  Hello John

  To be honest, I wish I had your laptop in front of me and see exactly what is happening.
  Is that this message be down occurs when the cell is on a regular basis down. If the laptop wakes mode sleep or hibernation, this message will not appear.

  So I m pretty confused with all this and can not understand what is happening exactly.
  When the operating system is loaded click please Windows Start button and choose the option closed and don't forget the laptop shut down correctly

  After doing this book for beginning and check how it looks like new. Please post comments.

• Satellite P100-423 - RTC battery replacement

  I'm happy enough to replace the CMOS / RTC on Satellite P100-423 battery because the device is out of warranty and the battery needs to be replaced.
  Le-423 is a build of Costco and not much found after the mandatory, manual Google and research forum.

  Can anyone recommend a type satisfying to do this, no clue on the former.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Are you sure that the RTC battery is replaceable?
  I ask this question because as much as I know it is not possible on all s models and if it is replaceable you can find the specs on the battery itself if you disassemble the laptop.

  Normally, this battery can be charged if you leave the AC/DC adapter plugged in for 24 hours. Have you already tried?

• Satellite P100-307 - massive heat problem, keypad heater

  Had my Satellite P100-307 for almost two years now and it's a good and useful media-notebook, but it never HOT side left keyboard, especially games.

  But in recent weeks, the keyboard is pretty HOT and I don't know why! Because I6vgt ´m using only low level applications.

  I did a full restore to clean any virus or other malware, but it continues to get hot, as if I where in the highest graphics modes, the games, but just I m using IE7 and a LateX editor for the creation of PDF Documents - that s nothing for a dual-core processor! Kaspersky 7.0 has been throtteld down, as far as the security is allwoing it.

  So why it s heat like that in 30 to 60 Minutes. He has never done this before, I m sure.

  It s so hot, it's quite unpleasant to work with her, because placing even the heel of your hand next to the touchpad makes my hand sweating!

  Would be grateful for any comment or advice,

  Greetings
  AFK

  Looks like the laptop is overheated, it is a common problem with laptops that are used in a dusty environment (a room with carpet, for example).

  Buy compressed air in a box and spray it in the vents to remove dust.

• Fractures of fatigue on the Satellite P100-423

  Hi all

  This is my first post here.
  The hinges on my Satellite P100-423 have always been fairly rigid. Thus fractures of stress now appeared on the back of the lid near the hinges.
  I bought in Nov/06 and it seems to be now out of warranty.
  I would appreciate any advice on what I can do about it or how to get it fixed.

  I totally agree with codes for the ASP must replace it and I think that this plastic cover should t be too expensive.

• Satellite P100 loses its next update

  Satellite P100 V3.30 Sound BiOS: Conexant HD Audio v 4.8.0 Windows Vista 32 bit

  Following a Vista Windows Update which contained an update of his Toshiba, all sounds have disappeared from the laptop. I did a system restore to before the update sound, and the sound is back.
  Update details: Conexant - Audio - Conexant high definition Smartaudio HD2. (The current sound details: conexant HD audio v 48.0)

  The sound went twice already, back after a re - install, although I only made the possible link with the update.

  Please advice!

  My advice is: do not touch the well-executed system. I have Satellite P200 and I don't do any driver updated or upgrades. If everything works should well, why I do this?

  Good bye

• Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

  I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

  Thank you!

  Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

  If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
  This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.
