Re: Satellite A300-15 b Model_No: PSAJ4E and windows XP

Hi guys,.

I bought Toshiba Satellite A300-15 b model_No: PSAJ4E and I am trying to install windows XP. but when the installation message comes out says no hard drive found. I know that this question that I have to use the disk driver hard for allows me to do this.

My Question is, I need hard disk drivers to support SATA in windows xp?

Note: I have read in this forum that I can do it in the BIOS Setup, but I don't need this response.

Thank you very much in advance...

I think that the chipset for laptops is the same - Intel® PM965 + Intel® ICH8M. You need load the files in the folder Ich8M_32 bits.

Good luck!

  • Satellite A300 - its different in PSAJ4E and PSAG8E

    I have two Toshiba Satellite A300. An A300 - 15K (PSAJ4E) and a driver Conexant instaled. Second is A300-20th (PSAG8E) and the driver of Realtek Semiconductor Corporation.

    The sound coming from harman/kardon in the first is beautiful and the second worse. I tried to install Conexant drive in the second Toshiba, but it does not work. I tried to sound installation, but without positive result. My system in the two Toshibas is Vista 32 bit. Are there opportunities to improve the quality of the sound in the second Toshiba?

    Thank you

    Hi marcino,.

    I think that you have answered the question yourself. Your laptops of different sound cards and I think this is the reason why the sound is a little different. I think only that the same as with the graphics cards: some cards are faster, and other cards are not so fast. ;)

    What you can do is to install the latest sound driver and check the sound settings. You can play around with the bass, treble, and different equalizer settings.

    Does not even work by pressing F8 during startup. I have a chance to start even a repair because there is no option that I could choose.

    After a few resets the A300 seems to have some problems.
    A few times the display does not start, after the other it does not, start by hanging up during the automatic test etc.
    I have reset the BIOS by default Options, but it does not help.

    The A300 are one week. Am I allowed to remove a RAM bar without losing the warranty?
    I have read that sometimes it helps. I was able to do a memtest software vista. It is said that some hardware conflicts appeared.

    I am desprate, please help.

    EDIT2:
    I recognized, that sometimes, when I start the laptop, the power led is the lightning to the top, but the satellite logo in the left corner remains dark.

    Hi maestro2118,

    Since when did you notice this behavior and what operating system is installed?

    Before install or reinstall a driver, I recommend you to remove the old driver first. Then, restart your computer and run CCleaner to remove old registry keys. A reboot, and you can install latest driver of the webcam of Toshiba page.

    Hi all

    I am trying to turn on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I cut it a couple of days, but the icon does not respond.
    When I click on the right button of the mouse, I can go to sounds etc, but "open volume Mixer" is not responding or the other. I also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
    What can I do? Your help will be very appreciated.

    > How do I do that safely without the risk of losing her forever?

    LOL you don't lose anything forever. : D in the worst case you have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Access to Device Manager-> mark the sound card-> with the delete key-> restart the laptop

    After restarting again the audio driver needs to be reinstalled again and should detect the sound card.

    Hello

    Maybe your CD/DVD drive becomes faulty... What do you think?

    But before you think to a new disk, you must remove the server - and lowerfilters in the registry. You can follow the workaround from Microsoft:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    Also, make sure that the CD/DVD drive lens is clean. You can use a microfibre cloth to clean. This rag doesn't scratch the lens.

    Finally and above all, there is no special driver for CD/DVD drive. It s a part of t Windows and can be updated.

  • Satellite A300-247 - cannot register for the Windows 7 upgrade

    Hi all

    I have the problem by registering for free Windows 7 Upgrade.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-247 and in their registration require the number of room and the j) not it is only numbered series. I bought the laptop in Israel. Is someone know what to do thank you to useful... Lars_3 thank you very much you the answer.

    Logo of the model is still off I wanted to say thank you, there are problems in the site of the browser servers think so much

    Hello!

    To be honest it's a little hard to understand your question.

    What exactly is your problem? I think you want to register on the site to upgrade to Windows 7.
    I n t have experience with this because I didn t buy such a phone compatible update yet, but I think that you need the serial number and the model number of the laptop. The two pieces of information you can find on the underside of the laptop.

    Don t forget that this upgrade option is available for laptop purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

  • Satellite A300-1N9 - where can I download Windows 7 drivers and tools?

    Welcome

    First of all I would like to thank you for any help or direct me to an idea about the drivers for this model, a moment, I will describe what exactly it.

    I bought this laptop with Vista I got a CD with the system and on this recording were already pilots and Add-ons for your laptop or other cool things like drivers Toshiba for camera, Bluetooth, Synaptics, dvd and a program or driver software I don't know exactly what it is, but such a cool thing that allows you to adjust the lighting on the whole Panel , including a laptop with the word "Satellite". Everything fits well, but only with Vista that I received from the Board of Directors of Toshiba.

    Now, I went on Windows 7 as for the fundamental factors that have webcam driver from the manufacturer Toshiba for example or a mouse. But most I count on these things I had with Vista, even if that Panel backlight laptop.

    Does anyone have an idea on what all the additives in the CD that I got, it of Vista where, somehow, you can extract these extras or is a site where you can download all or a list of these additives to win game 7

    Thanks again in advance for any help.

  • Re: Satellite A300 of start-up problems and time

    Hello everyone,

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A 300, and I have some problems with it.

    Problem is when I leave my computer (without external energy source) the time resets 2007, after several hours about (could be 6 hrs)., and computer quite often begins immediately after that I push the power button.

    I don't know the cause of the problem, because the battery is OK., computer running long on battery.

    I think the problem is in an internal battery in the CMOS, but I don't know if there is in portable computers.

    Suggestions will be highly appreciated!

    Kind regards
    Osman

    Hello

    > The problem is when I leave my computer (without external energy source) the time resets 2007, after several hours about (could be 6 hrs)., and computer quite often begins immediately after that I push the power button.
    Which is strange, I want to say the CMOS battery should not unload even the main battery is not empty as it s really strange to happen after 6 hours of non-use...

    What you can do is to let the laptop connected to the AC adapter for over 24 hours
    During this period the laptop should be lit!
    Then you can check the operation of the CMOS battery and if this behavior will always be

    If Yes, then you will need to contact a local ASP. Maybe the CMOS or the motherboard needs to be replaced

  • Satellite A300 1 5 stops instantly and then won't start.

    Forgive me if I posted in the wrong section, but I do not know if this falls of virus and security.

    Since about 3 weeks my A300 1 5 has been stop under its own, however, it does NOT close properly, all that happens is that when I'm in the middle of something (whether it's watching a movie, student or even the cat) he just stops instantly. When I say instantly it is just to stop in less than a second. There is no closing down message, or anything for that matter, he just blanks (as when it is extinguished, even the power button is not lit). When I try to turn it back on, it loads up to the screen telling me that it had closed badly, either because of a program error or that it was for security reasons. then it stops again instantly. It keeps it constantly and does not start beyond this point. My only solution is to remove the battery.

    1. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, it is always up to date and I always perform analyses every 4-6 days to highest possible scanning depth.
    2. I don't have a virus, I tried to uninstall Kaspersky and resettlement and scan then again, which there still he finds nothing.
    3. I believe that something causes a memory dump, ALTHOUGH the laptop stops immediately, way too fast for a memory dump.
    4 when he stops, he will not resume, it will charge for 30 seconds and then turn off exactly the same way.
    5. I tried to use Toshiba recovery to make a backup of my things (twice now), however, it's just down the middle of it.
    6. all possible scans of system health and material have been completed and there is no indication of a fault.
    7. the only solution is to remove the battery (to wipe everything in memory), however, I continue to have this problem.

    Can someone give me an idea as to what is happening?

    Thank you in advance.

    Gokz777

    I doubt that it is a virus or security issue. If you have a virus on the computer normally it doesn't stop instantly. It stops normally.

    At the moment it is really hard to say what the reason is for this it could be an adapter AC/DC, battery, motherboard problem or something else.

    You use the factory settings or you have installed your own Windows?
    As Akuma has said, use the Toshiba or another original AC/DC adapter?

  • Satellite A300 - after reinstalling Vista touchpad and FN doesn't

    Hello

    I reinstalled Vista Home Premium (before removing the old, I saved "Toshiba" folder with the drivers) and now the touchpad does not work + FN key does not work.

    Should which driver I install and where?
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    Normally it is not necessary to install a driver for the touchpad because s he s always activated, but you can do this also with FN + F9.

    However, you should try to install the Toshiba Value added package. This is necessary for the FN keys and on the Toshiba site, you can also find the touchpad driver. Check it!

    Thank you in advance!

    As far as I know it was a special offer from Toshiba at the launch of Win7. I think that you can not order more.
    What you can do now is to buy the original installation disk Microsoft Win7 and install Win7 clean version on your A300. I have the same machine and Win7 works perfectly on it. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page.
