• How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu... It seems that the laptop is made ONLY for Vista and I think that it's... pathetic...

  Can someone help me? I tried to search for information on the web, forums, etc., but it seems I'm the only one with this problem.

  Thank you!

• Mute or LED on / off button question on Satellite A300 - 15 c

  Hello

  I have a similar problem. I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 c.

  Until recently, the multimedia keys worked fine. I have assigned an exe file to the second to the left key and been happy to use the power button lights and the dimmer.exe, but a few days ago the drive key stopped turning lights and acts rather as a key to turn off/turn on the sound. I checked the SCT and the key is always associated with the dimmer.exe. I even tried to associate the key with another function, but it remains just mutes / restores the sound the sound. You have an idea as to what could cause this problem and how can I solve this problem?

  And no, apart from updates to Vista randomly I have not installed anything new since before the key drive started acting weird...

  Hello!

  Value added package regulates these buttons and in this case, you must reinstall and use the latest version on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  As Garrett says you have to remove the old version first, restart, clean the system and then install the most recent drivers.
  I started this thread and I think it might be useful to you, because the user Raver posted a nice workaround and you should try this also:

• Re: Two questions on Satellite A300 and Win7 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a satellite A300 PSAJ4E windows 7 32 bit.
  I installed all the drivers to Toshiba support, but I have 2 problems.
  the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning. I know that his work because when I plug another screen his everything is ok.
  the other problem is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you

  > the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning properly
  It is still problematic to discuss problems that sometimes occur. When this happens you can see Toshiba welcome screen or hear sounds of windows?
  > another DIF, is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)
  I think that you need to install the bluetooth drivers.

• Two questions with Satellite A300-18

  Well, I have a Toshiba A300-18 and when I use it for a long time, about five hours, for example, the programs seem to "freeze" and I can't work on it or open up new. Another problem is when I try to stop the laptop because the screen turns off but the lights remain and the computer didn't stop and rest as it until what I stopped it manually with the button WORKS. I tried to recover the factory values, but it stills equal.

  (Sorry for my English, I'm Portuguese)

  > when I use it for a long time, about five hours, for example, the programs seem to "freeze" and I can't work on it or open new ones.
  It sounds like the laptop could freezes due to a higher internal temperature.
  The high temperature could affect the functionality of memory and it would lead to this issue.
  Please check if the vents are free of charge and ensure that there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.

  Conversely, the temperature can arise at a critical level if n t cooling modules work as it should in this case the technician must check the laptop!

  The second questions (the screen became black) could be resolved by the BIOS updated.
  So check to see if a BIOS update is available and if it is possible

  Best regards and good luck

• Satellite A300-1MX - get only to use 2 GB

  Hello world

  I have a question:
  My Satellite A300-1MX has 4 GB of RAM... now that I have Windows XP Professional, its only able to 3 GB...
  But how is it, I don't get to use 2 GB... Probably because my graphics card uses 1 GB.
  How can I pass... as in how do I can change the amount of RAM uses the graphics card?

  I've been usin Adobe after-effects, and in the options of memory & cache, it says I have 2 GB of ram maximum...
  I want to say is that I buy a laptop with 4 GB and end use only 2 possibe really!
  The graphics card (3650) a 512 dedicated... but sound using 1 GB.

  I shud have 2.5 GB of RAM then if it wud be logical.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you very much
  Sasch

  Hello

  The 32-bit of Windows XP manages 3.2 GB of RAM max.
  3.2 GB of RAM are only possible due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  The ATI graphics card supports dedicated video memory and he shares part of the main memory too.
  But look, man. everything is controlled automatically. This means that the graphics card driver assigns parts of memory needed.
  If memory is not necessary the graphics card driver assigns not all memory main room in memory of the graphics card.

• Satellite A300 1lW - installation of Windows 7 - any questions?

  Good morning/afternoon!

  I would like to install a new internal hard drive on my laptop and I want to put windows 7 on it.

  The problem is that it is the first time that I'm going to do this and I Don t really know what kind of functionality will be incompatible with this installation.

  -You can recommend me a version of windows 7 that may be suitable for this laptop?
  -What features will be disabled when I install windows 7 on my new hard drive?

  Thank you very much!

  Concerning

  Remy

  Hi mate

  To be honest I wonder about these questions.
  Windows 7 is fully supported and normally you should get no problems with Windows 7 running on Satellite A300.

  The Windows 7 drivers are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. T
  for this I put t expect serious problems.

  If you have any questions, feel free to ask the people here in the community. :)

• Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

  I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

  It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

  Hello

  BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
  If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

  Good luck

• Question on recovery for Satellite A300-15 b DVD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-15 b, bought almost 2 months of age. I created a DVD using Toshiba Recovery DVD Creator, as mentioned in the manual recovery. The question is, I created this months DVD 2 when buying and I used Notepad for this period. My recovery disk would be identical to a recovery disk created just after the purchase?

  Content of my recovery disk doesn't include any setup I see makes me think I could you created a wrong. Can I use this disc to re - install Vista assuming that I am currently using Windows XP?

  And how many recovery disks are required for this model of Toshiba? I have only one.

  Thank you for your time and your consideration.

  Kind regards..

  > My recovery disk would be identical to a recovery disk created just after the purchase?
  The recovery image is always the same. When you use the laptop will have always the same configuration, the same that you got after it for the first time.

  > Content from my recovery disc doesn't include any setup I see makes me think I could you created a fake. Can I use this disc to re - install Vista assuming that I am currently using Windows XP?
  Because the installation cannot be started under the BONE, or in a sort of DOS mode, there is no setup.exe. Just put the recovery in the optical disc drive disk, start your portable computer, press F12, choose the CD/DVD drive, press ENTER and follow the menu on the screen. You can now use what you want. After the use of DVDs, you'll plant more recovery settings, even you got after it for the first time.

  > The recovery discs how are needed for this model of Toshiba?
  This issue is understandable to me. It usually depends on media that you use to create a recovery media. Simply follow the instructions for Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. It may be that you need two DVD-R virgins.

  Do you have more questions?

  Hello

  I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1LI and can confirm that everything works perfectly. I am very satisfied and it works really well. I use it for 6 months now and so far, I don't notice any problems or a strange question.

  I did the clean install of Windows 7 and not an update.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

  I don't know which version you want to use now, but if you use 32 bit, you cannot upgrade to 64-bit. It must be a clean install.
  Advantage? I don't test it on my satellite with 64 bit but theoretically OS must use more material resources, but it may happen that several software you are using is not designed for the 64 bit OS.

• Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

  Hello everyone!

  I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

  These are my questions...

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
  (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

  (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
  How will this affect the battery consumption?

  (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
  When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
  Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
  I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

  can I fix?

  Thanks in advance...

  Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
  In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
  In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

  In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

  What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

• Questions on on Satellite A300 HARD drive partitions

  Hello

  I would like to install a new OS (new operating system: Windows 7, old OS: Vista Edition Home Premium) on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300-237) to repartition the whole HARD drive. I see a non-standard partition, its size is of ~ 1 GB, can I delete this partition?

  What information contains this partition?
  I did the recovery previously by Toshiba HDD Recovery disks. Guess when I delete any partition and put in place and installation of the discs, will recover the initial state (including the hidden partition)?

  Thank you

  If you want to install your own Win7 version delete all existing partitions and then create a C partition for the installation of the OS.
  I guess you write over WinRE partition and it is about 1.5 GB.

  I installed Win7 ultimate 32 bit on my Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

• Re: Can foreign supply in question on my Satellite A300

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my satellite A300, which is difficult to explain, and I have not found this problem anywhere elsewhere in the forums. I'm not a computer expert and I will try to explain the problem.

  When the battery is fully charged and I turn on the laptop, I can use the laptop for 5 minutes and I get a warning to reconnect. When I plug in, the system crashes. Nothing don't move or nothing happens. Press and hold the power for a few seconds and the system is off. I reload and restart once again and I play video sopcast or request some other videos and then plug-in system, it works fine. Once again I can use the system unplugged for just a few minutes, if I plug it crashes.

  If you play sopcast, plugin, it works.
  If I start the system in safe mode, it starts very well and I can use the system as long as I want. Even though I have the plugin in safe mode, it works fine.
  I checked with some experts and they say that the graphics card has disappeared. Some say that it could be a virus. Some say that it is a problem with the battery and charger.

  Please help me. I am writing my thesis today, and all my data is in this system.

  Thank you

  Have you noticed similar problems when you use the laptop with AC power only, without the battery?

  Start the laptop with AC power and when Windows is loaded correctly put the battery inside. What happen exactly when you do this?
