• Re: Satellite A300-234 - product key does not work with another disk the

  Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

  The key away. What should do?

  Hello

  The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

  Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
  The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

  Good bye

  Satellite A300 - 234 MODEL NO. PSAGCE. What RAID levels? 0 or 1? or 2,3,4,5?

  Hello

  As much as I know the laptop does not support (hardware) RAID
  You won't find anything in the BIOS.

  But a software raid was possible;
  For this you need a RAID tool.

• How to disable Hypermemory on satellite Pro L650 - 17 p

  Hallo,

  in my computer laptop are 4 GB of installed RAM, but due to Hypermemory, I'm only able to use less than 3 GB. I often use a lot of RAM, so my question is how to disable the function Hypermemory.
  I've planed to upgrade memory up to 8 GB, but then I read that if 8 GB are installed, the use of memory by Hypermemory will extend up to 3 GB so that I can only at the user up to 5 GB of RAM. This makes the insane level RAM.

  * So, is it an opportunity to disable Hypermemory? *

  I looked in the BIOS (version 2.20) for this purpose, but it was not such an option.
  I'm under Win7 in 64-bit, so the allocation of memory is not a problem.

  Hello

  > So is it an opportunity to disable Hypermemory?

  It is not possible.
  A part of the main memory is shared by the graphics card and this is controlled automatically by the graphics driver.
  AFAIK you can also find this information in the user manual

• Satellite A300-Y00 - how to use a joystick for games?

  How can I connect my Satellite A300/y00 with joystick so I can play without a keyboard because its very difficult to use?

  What one should I get, like joystick ps2 or gamepad xbox since the microsoft xbox and im using microsoft software such vista...?
  But my laptop has what we call the game controller in the Control Panel, it means that I always install the software to use the joystick?

  Thanx

  It s your choice what joystick you want to buy. Go to a computer store and take a look at all the joysticks and buy one of them.

  Normally you need a driver for the joystick, but the joystick should be bundled with an installation disk that contains the drivers.

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

  Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
  My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

  You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

  The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
  How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

  2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

  See you soon

  > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
  Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
  You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

  But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

  With regard to the sound:
  As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
  But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
  I recommend to test

• Satellite A300-148 how to increase the size of the graphics memory?

  Hello..

  I have satellite a300-148, I update my laptop RAM from 1 to 2 GB but the VRAM is always 128 MB. and in the toshiba site write this:

  ((Graphics Adapter:))
  Manufacturer: Intel
  type: Intel® GMA X 3100
  memory: up to 358 MB total graphics memory available with 2 GB of system memory
  memory type: shared))

  But my laptop no graphics card (intel GMA X 3100) is (mobile intel 965) how can I solve this problem?
  There are different between the two adapters? How to increase my laptop memory graphic size?

  Please help me...
  thanx

  Hello

  > How can I solve this problem?
  Problem? What is the problem?

  Take a look here on this page of the Toshiba hardware specification:
  [Satellite A300-148 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 150445]

  Laptop supports the Intel® GM965 Express chipset but the graphics chip is Intel® GMA X 3100
  As you can see the type of memory is shared
  What does that mean?
  This means that this graphics card shares memory with the main memory. Everything is controlled automatically by the graphics driver.
  If the memory of the graphics card is required then graphic driver would assign memory automatically to GPU.

  I hope this helps...

  If you are using Windows XP, then you can view the tool called; Toshiba controls
  It s in the control panel.

  Here you can configure the buttons; CD/DVD and lighting On / OFF

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• Satellite A300-1QD - how to restore Vista preinstalled?

  Hey,.

  I made a big mistake, two years ago. I installed windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1QD but on the laptop Windows Vista was installed and I have no recovery disk, but I have the original serialnumber of it.

  Are there opportunities to put Windows Vista on the laptop without buying a new version of Windows Vista?

  welcome them

  steste123

  Hello

  If you don t have a recovery disk, you must order such a Toshiba drive directly to restore preinstalled Windows Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings):
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  But it s not free as far as I know it costs about 30 Euros.

  So I t understand why you didn't create the recovery disc yourself. Everything is mentioned in the user manual
