Re: Installation of Win XP on Satellite L300

I want to install Win XP on my laptop, but when I come to the part of the set up to select the disk to install at all I have is a FAT 700 MB drive.

What do need me to let him see all 104 GB SATA HDD and how do I use the program?

Thank you

Hello

Windows XP offers a format function in specific SETTINGS.
It asks to format the disk to NTFS.

If you need to format it first!

I assume that you have already installed the SATA driver. Is this good?
Such SATA driver is usually necessary to recognize SATA HDD.

If you don t have an external floppy drive to install the SATA driver, then use nLite free application that would be you can create a new XP CD and include the SATA drivers.

For more details please check this doc from Toshiba:
[How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

Good luck

    Hello

    I have a lot of problems with Vista. First it took me a week to install my printer WiFi. (sollution: install local lpt1 as the printer, change port properties en gives a location network (computer/printername).)
    Last problem: vista give no right to copy my USB hd protable with xp files.

    Is there anyone with experience in the installation of win xp on this laptop. And is it possible to tell me the steps that you have been taken to do so.
    Are there concerns as none have some drivers, things that do not work or problems with sata hd.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's a difficult topic-> XP on Vista machines.

    First: Yes, you can install XP on it because all the important factors are available (VGA, SATA, wireless, XP BIOS, BLUETOOTH) and that should be enough.

    Because your computer has a BIOS for Vista (I guess there a) Please install the BIOS XP first and then start the installation of XP. In the case that your HARD drive is not recognized then you need to install the SATA driver during the installation of windows XP. The procedure is described in the statement of the Satellite L40-> XP installation, so if you want to install and problems SATA (HDD, not during the XP installation), you must check the installation instructions for Windows XP for a SATELLITE L40!

    If you have additional questions, I recommend allows you to place your question here before doing something that may stop your nerves later. :)

  • Installation of Windows XP on Satellite L300 11G

    Hello

    I have a problem installing windows XP on my Toshiba Satellite L300 11 G.

    It does not recognize the SATA HDD. SO I downloaded the files that were needed (Intel storage...) and then I get an error: iaStor is corrupt. I'm pretty new in computing, so I don't know if I downloaded the right thing. Please if someone could guide me trough and give me a link to download the correct file.

    And this message comes only if I can't choose the right driver when asked? Or is there something else that I do wrong...?

    Help, please. I am trying to solve this problem for several days and I bought my laptop a few days ago and I need it for business. I would appreciate your help.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Sorry, but this error is unknown to me, but you shouldn't t be worried.
    I think I know how solve you the problem.

    You used the external floppy drive to install and register the SATA driver in the installation of XP. Am I wrong?

    There is another way to include the SATA drivers.
    You must download the freeware app called nLite. Google simply.
    This software allows you to create a new XP CD and include the SATA disk in XP operating system.
    Then you could boot from the XP CD again created and should be able to reinstall the system.

    I have tested this tool and it works very well.

    By the way; the Intel Matrix Storage Manager is available for download also from Intel and the Toshiba driver page page.

  • What SATA controller driver is necessary for Win XP on Satellite L300 BRAND

    Hello

    I need to get rid of vista on my new laptop preinstalled and was going to put Win XP. Of course, Win XP doesn't have SATA support. I've read on how to do (i.e. nlite drivers during the installation of Win XP disk in some way), but I could not find the drivers for it on the web page of Toshiba. Could someone please help and point me to the correct driver for this machine?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    What you need is the Intel Storage Manager.
    The European Toshiba page provides this crib of storage, but you can also download it from the page of Intel. Simply search for Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

    The package contains files different and different SATA drivers for different chipsets.

    Check it out I m that the Storage Manager is the key ;)

    have shearched other threads and found answer but seems that doen't work. I have a USB flash drive. My flash is considered to be a boot and I can install windows on it for :).

    Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the laptop is a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download and Flash the BIOS on the Vista BIOS XP.

    If the installation of XP does not detect the SATA hard drive, simply turn compatibility SATA Mode in BIOS if this option is available.

    If this option is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

    (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
    If an individual F6 driver is unavailable, download and uncompress the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: database ICH7M_32bit for an ICH7 chipset during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

    (2) copy the files from the driver F6 (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk. For example, A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

    (3) use a Toshiba USB floppy drive with the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

    (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that the disk is inserted in the floppy USB drive.

    (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

    (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue. For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

    (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation. Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.

  • Installation of Win XP on Satellite P305-S8832

    Yesterday, I received a brand new WD SATA HDD 250 GB and a brand new Windows XP Home SP3 CD and I swap the HD of my P305-S8832 and began the Odyssey of the Windows XP installation.

    I didn't have all my data on another hard drive, so no risk. I started the Setup in compatibility mode affect the HARD drive and proceeded.

    Once the installation is finished, I went to http://downloadcenter.intel.com and tried XP drivers, that I couldn't leave toshiba Download Center (almost all of them I got from Toshiba). Namely video and wireless. His driver has been the most difficult (Conexant Smart Audio 221), I got from HP Download Center after a long google search.

    Yes looking first to the template page of Toshiba. These driver not available at toshiba, I got the name correct to each driver installer of dvd of the machine and then searched for everyone either download Toshiba, Intel download or finally Google.

    Then I did the entire updating process, installed AVG free antivirus, Firefox 3.5 and Thunderbird, Office, Nero, etc...

    Now the evaluation:

    1. almost everything works. Only FM Radio does not work. I wasn't able to find any XP driver for it. All the work of Fn, lighting of keyboard keys, etc.

    2. as the sata HDD THAT works on compatibility mode, it is a bit slow. I tried everything: defragmentation, triggering the search indexing, moved the pagefile for hard disks. Still a bit slow for applications like burning a DVD on nero.

    3 applications work just fine even if they seem to stand a little before you start: Office 2003, Bible Works 6 and 7, Libronix 3 (8.5 GB databases)

    4. I'm looking for a floppy drive external to try to install the sata drivers and then enable the sata HARD drive mode, but I have the sata drivers in the Windows version. I think I need them in DOS version and I did not get them so far. This may make the drive more fast I think.

    5. huge amount of memory free (Machine has 3 GB of DDR2 667 memory). At the start of Vista Home Premium already swallowed 1.3 GB while XP does only 450 MB after the start.

    Well, I hope that this could be useful for someone. I look forward to suggestions.

    Hi mate

    I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
    Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
    Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
    Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

    PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

    Hello

    made me this Satellite L300-1F8 as hand down from my sister, and first glance seems he was in working condition.
    There is no OS on it and I decided to install it with windows 7.
    It starts up fine on the disc, but after some time on the installation process, it freeze or reboot.

    The next thing I did was have it running on an Ubuntu live CD... it did boot from the live cd, but after a while it froze again. I've done a memory test and all modules are very well.
    I check the hard drive, and again, it was ok. So I tried to install Windows xp on it and to my surprise it is installed without any problem.

    Does this mean that I can just install XP on this model?

    Also, I noticed that whenever the battery (the orange on the front of the unit) light is turned on, the computer restart or hang...
    This means that this device has a power problem?

    and oh, as I currently running on Windows XP, I have updated the Bios of 1.50 to 2.20 and even once tried to install Win 7, but had the same problem again.

    I returned to Win XP and installed without a hitch.
    Here is the complete model in my unit: Satellite L300 - 1F8 PSLBGE00T004AR...

    any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you...

    Hello

    > Does that mean I can only install XP on this model?

    No, you can install any system. The hardware specifications of the Satellite L300-1F8 seems ok: processor Intel Pentium dual-core T3400, 4 GB RAM, 250GB HDD and Mobile Intel GMA 4500 M graphics card is good enough to Win 7

    I m wondering why the laptop froze running Windows 7 or Linux

    > Also, I noticed that whenever the battery (the orange on the front of the unit) light is turned on, the computer restart or hang... This means that this device has a power problem?

    Do you mean the battery indicator? The battery indicator is the 3rd left.
    The battery indicator indicates the State of charge. Green: charging completely charged and orange way.

    There are also other indicators:
    The first left is indicator DC IN which turns green when the AC adapter DC voltage. If the output of the adapter is abnormal this indicator shows no light.

    The second on the left is the led lights green when the laptop is running. If you turn off the computer in standby mode, it starts flashing orange. If the computer turns the indicator shows no light.

    So please help me with wlan and the Fn keys problems

    Hey Buddy!

    I m using a Satellite L300 too with XP and I t notice any problem. It works correctly and the Web from Toshiba site displays all the drivers and tools for this.

    However, firstly everything that you should make sure that you have installed all the drivers for your laptop. The site Web of Toshiba shows only Realtek driver for WIFI then I guess you have Realtek WLAN card. You can run setup.exe to install drivers or if you get an error message?
    If you are not sure, you can also check what WLAN card you have on this site:
    http://www.PCIDatabase.com/
    The vendor and device ID, you can see in-online WLAN card properties Device Manager.

    Toshiba tools for FN keys, I can only say that you must install applications first Toshiba and then all the other common Modules. Common modules are required for all Toshiba applications works. Then remove the tools installed Toshiba and use this installation order that I used successfully on my Satellite L300:
    Toshiba Common modules
    TOSHIBA Hotkey utility
    Toshiba Touchpad POWER utility
    Toshiba Utilities
    Toshiba controls
    TOSHIBA Power Saver (not necessary, but very nice tool).

    I hope I could help a bit.
