• How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

  Hello

  Since a few days, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I am very satisfied with the laptop, although I do not work with Vista, so I prefer the laptop reformat and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).

  However I do not know if I have to do something special for him, because it's my first laptop I have and I haven't had that one time a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now I'm spending operating system, I think I need some disk driver for my webcam and stuff like that.

  I hope some1 can help me :)

  Thank you very much

  BTW, I'm Dutch, sorry for my English.

  > And I have a legitimate XP Pro license, but I n t understand what you mean with the things of the sata driver. do you mean that I have to ADD the drivers on the disk with windows XP?

  The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers that are needed to recognize the HARD drive during XP installation procedure.
  So, you need to include the SATA driver by pressing the F6 key while installing XP is loading. For this procedure, an external floppy drive unit is necessary.

  If you n t have an external USB FDD drive, then you could create a CD of Win XP and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.

  A single note; Use the search function of the forums for research on other threads on the nLite and how to create CDs. I remember that there are many discussions in the forum on this topic.

• Update BIOS on Toshiba Satellite A300-1MW

  Hello.

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-1MW with version 3.5 of the BIOS. Can I upgrade to version 1.7 which I downloaded from the Toshiba site?
  Whay I want to do?
  Because I have a lot of problems with this laptop. For example:

  (1) slow loading on the compatibility mode system
  (2) when I put the AHCI mode and reinstall the drivers SATA then loading is faster, but I have problems with the critical error

  I don't know what to do :/ Maybe I have bad drivers (it is not possible because all the drivers are of the Toshiba site) or maybe I didn't install drivers (there are many drivers on the Toshiba site, I don't not download and install all the)

  Can someone write a list of the drivers I need to install?

  Thanks in advane and have a nice day.

  Yours,
  Tralla

  Hello Tralla

  As I see you have already posted a thread with the same question and I wonder that you ask the same question again.

  You have these problems, because you didn t install WXP correctly. If you want to have many preinstalled WXP and use with full speed use the AHCI settings in the BIOS and load Windows XP Home edition with all SATA drivers.
  After having this laptop will run fast and you won't have problems BIOS update should not be done at all.
  This theme is very often discussed on this forum and please take some time and check this forum on the installation of Windows XP Home edition using the SATA driver.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - HARD and the Installation of the OS disk replacement

  Hello world

  I watched a few videos online regarding how can I do to replace the two HARD drive in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4E-04901CEN. However, I have a few inquires before that I undertake this task:

  (1) are there any recommendation to which HARD drive should I buy for this laptop. I want something affordable with speed and relatively good ability.
  (2) how I would go about installing Windows 7 OS on the new HARD drive. I have to update my BIOS and drivers when I finished installing?
  (3) are there other guides (written or video) that you would recommend that I go through before making the replacement?

  I appreciate any help on this matter.

  A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to help. HARD on its A300 disc was defective. We bought the new 250GB SATA HDD, succeeded him, and after that, I installed Win7 32 bit.
  Now the machine works perfectly.

  Do not do anything as the BIOS update. Just put the new HARD drive and launch the installation of Win7. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Here's how I installed all the stuff on A300 friends:
  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

  If you need help more made me know.

• Cannot start the Toshiba Satellite A300 in normal mode or safe mode.

  Original title: Normal and safe mode start two taped please wait

  Hi my problems started last night when I tried to open my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300 Windows Vista)

  In normal mode starts near the top of the screen loads fine up please wait...
  I left on until this morning that then the screen turned black and nothing was clickable.
  I can't boot mode safe either, as it happens the same thing.
  Sometimes when I try and start it tells me that the C drive has something wrong with it and what are the fixing.
  A warning saying that this file is corrupted and unreadable left me with a scintillating display that fluctuated between black and the background of vista.
  I managed to log on once while my office quickly froze and I had to close my laptop.

  Startup Repair cannot detect all problems. I restore Windows to an earlier date with the system restore but that did nothing to help and when I tried to restore the system to an earlier date of even the sign of a catastrophic failure rises.

  I'm really ideas outside the restoration of factory settings.
  Someone please help.
  Thank you

  Hello

  
  Have you tried another recovery option?
   
  
  I suggest you to press the F8 key as the computer starts up to the top and check the option in the advanced boot menu.
   
  
  Advanced, including safe mode startup options
   
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode-1
   
  
  If you are able to open the advanced boot menu then you can execute the menu command prompt and type the command and check.
   
  
  Type CHKDSK c:/r or
  
  Type CHKDSK c:/f
   
  
  Important: even if running chkdsk on the drive if any bad sectors are found, chkdsk attempts to repair this sector and if all data on this sector it could get lost.
   
  
  If you are not able to perform the steps then you may need to get the Vista installation DVD. You can contact the manufacturer for more details.

• Satellite A300-129 - Sound is mute and icon does not

  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.

  Heleen

  > 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.

• Power adapter for Toshiba Satellite M40X 129

  Hello guys,.
  hope this is the right forum to post my question in:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X 129 (model No.: PSM4XE-01600CGR). My adapter is buggered so I need to get a new one. Bought the machine in Germany, now am in Tasmania / Australia. Being in a camp of the Valley remote until April, I won´t be able to go into a store with my laptop to try and understand, that the AC adapter / CC is suitable. We have internet here as our only communication, it is very important for me that sort.

  Can someone tell me, what type of adapter / power supply is planned or where to look?

  The one I ve been before is a LITEON, part No.: PA3432U-1AC3, model n °: PA-1750-09, input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, 1. 5 a, output: 19V, 3. 95 a.

  Thanks for your help and have a nice day
  Peter

  Adapters for your Satellite are:
  PA3432U-1ACA
  PA3432U-1AC3
  PA3432C-1AC3.

  Put this number in Google and you will find very precise specifications.

  By the way: If you already have the old adapter specifications I put t understand why you need some additional info. If there is no possibility to buy again until April, how do you get a new one?
  Sorry, but I m confused.

  Usually you could install it over the old BT stack.
  But if you receive a notification that an old BT stack must be removed first, then remove it and then install a new one.

• Satellite A300 - value added Package installation fails

  Hello

  I'm running a new Satellite A300, Vista Home Premium.
  I wasn't able to run PC-diagnose and volume button wasn't working so I uninstalled the existing extra value package, rebooted the system and tried to reinstall the latest version.

  In many cases these issues is NOT related to the applications that you are trying to install, but the Windows operating system. especially he confused s upwards and therefore this installation fails.

  In your case, I recommend you to clean the operating system using the CCleaner and if necessary to reinstall the operating system in order to solve this problem.

• Satellite A300 and Windows 7

  Hi all. First of all I am sorry for my bad English - I to little practice.

  Can I transfer my win Vista sp2 (x 32) to Win7 (x 32) on my laptop Satellite A300-1QF (?) PSAGCE-06F00JRU)?
  Is there any trouble with drivers/devices/something else? If it is, are there ways to avoid?
  I hate vista (((want to try vin7)))

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  At first, I must say that I don't know what you mean under transfer.
  I have Satellite A300 and dual boot with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 so I can say that Satellite A300 works perfectly with Win7, much better then Vista.

  What you can do is:
  # To upgrade Vista preinstalled for Win7 (the two 32-bit) or
  # Install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  If you need help let us know.
