Satellite A100: Can WXP during the installation of Vista - I use Vista drivers

Hello

Will really appreciate if a member of the community could help sort my confusion...

I had to reinstall Windows with XP SP3 in place and place of Vista the A100 was delivered with. I now need some drivers (Lan, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB) and wanted to know if I can still use the Vista drivers for the A100 (PSAA8E) available on the Toshiba support site, or should I look XP compatible drivers in other places.

In the hope of receiving help from you guys.

Thank you
Gerard

Hello

If you have installed Win XP you use drivers designed for Win XP and not Vista.
Win XP drivers do NOT work on Vista OS.

In order to check the Toshiba page if some XP drivers are available.
If you find not all drivers XP then you have to collect the XP drivers to your own hand

But I m sure that some XP drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.

  • Satellite Pro A10 stops during the installation of Windows

    I have a satellite Pro A10, which stops during the installation of Windows. The installation gets to the part where I need to select the HARD drive to install, then the system off just. I can restart it immediately, and the sdame happens.

    If I enter the BIOS, everything is detected OK, and I've updated to the latest version (V1.4). Also when in the BIOS, the system will remain under tension for ever and a day! and no downtime. I have a couple of diagnostic CD, then run the tests is the same thing, but I ran the seagate diagnostic tool and the HDD OK passes, as does the main map, but cannot perform detailed testing that the system shuts down during the tests.

    I suspect an overheating issue but would like advice.

    Hmmm it s very strange. I thought that the HARD drive could malfunctions but it of very impossible if the HARD drive has passed the Seagate diagnostic test.

    However, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of the OS would end with another HARD drive.
    You know, it of always difficult to provide an exact solution without any diagnostic tests.

    For me, it really looks like a hardware malfunction. So perhaps it would be advisable to contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer for a control of the laptop.
    Guys could run tests and would situate the fault quickly.

    Hello

    I think that in this case you must go to an authorized service provider. If the laptop freeze during the BIOS update module ROM needs to be reflashed.

    On the Toshiba site, you can search nearest ASP and download all the drivers. Check this box:

    Hello

    I imagine that you didn t include the driver to CD Win XP SATA.
    The point is that Win XP needs an extra SATA driver in order to be able to recognize the HARD drive that is connected to the SATA controller.

  • Satellite A100-773: problem with the installation of WinXP Pro

After that black screen and nothing more happens.

    Also, I tried to start Linux (Knoppix) CD. Same problem, at some stage, the system stops and doesn't do anything.

    Anyone has any idea how this problem could be solved?

    Hello

    Have you tried to boot form CD recovery Toshiba or on the original CD of Microsoft?
    The recovery installation CD should generally work without any problem.
    In addition, if you want to retrieve the unit with the Toshiba Recovery CD you will get 2 modes. Standard and expert mode.

    I guess the message because there might be something wrong with the hardware or any device. I would recommend to enter the BIOS and check the settings. You can also try the options default and safe change.

    But first try to boot from the recovery CD.

  • Qosmio G30-153: no drivers were found during the installation of Vista

    Hi I tried to install Vista on my computer, but there are some bad things. I just insert the Vista CD and restart my machine.

    Vista has started to install and I have reached the point where Vista should find the drivers to choose, but its tells me no drivers were found.

    I took it to the Agency in Syria and they told me that this (Qosmio G30-153) machine comes with vista only.
    If you have upgraded from XP applies to the Qosmio only.

    I think there is another problem, but they could not solve it because I told them when I go to the configuration of the system, I found the drivers, but the names are different.
    Driver (C) named Raid 0, but the names of the drivers D Jbod and I think they should be eponymous.

    If they are different name, but they don know what I mean.
    do you know how to change the name of the pilots and why they are different.

    I hope you can help me and I will answer you on my email address if you don't mind my ([email protected]) is

    Thanks alotttttttt Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Here is no problem at all. Visit the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page

  • Satellite M70-164 PSM71: after the installation of Vista the display flashes

    Hello

    I have a M70 - 164 witch has an ATI mobility Radeon x 700 with 128 MB dedicated. I installed Windows Vista Business on it, but sometimes, when the LCD resolution changes (IE, when I start a game, when I close the LCD screen and open when I connect,...) the screen becomes stupid...

    You know, with lots of color, but I don't understand anything in it! As you was whatching a coded TV channel, flicking and with no image defined.

    Anyone know what it can be? It started to happen when I installed windows Vista. I already did twice, but the problem is still present. I've used Vista drivers, the drivers from the ATI site, toshiba.ca drivers, drivers of other toshiba computers...

    I don't know what to do more. If you can help, I would like to say thank you.

    João

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a graphics driver issue.
    Your M70 seems to be a European model and this is why you must use the graphics drivers that are specifically designed for this model of laptop but unfortunately I checked on the European pilot site and found nothing :(
    I noticed that Toshiba releases every week new drivers for various notebook series.
    Maybe you unit series will appear both in the text

    But nevertheless, this problem is very strange, a friend of mine installed Vista on the M70 and something like this didn't happen.
    Maybe it of not a driver problem; (but related material?  :|

  • Satellite Pro A10 hangs during the installation of Win XP

    Hi guys,.

    just thouth I would ask why my new laptop will not install XP.
    Only, it crashes during installation. No n' achete purchased on this occasion, had no operating system installed.

    I wonder if it's a driver problem, using my xp disc I bought, but like I said that just, it will hang during installation.
    What I need to intergrate drivers somehow?
    I'm guessing that this is the problem?

    If so, how do I?

    see you soon

    I really wonder that your new laptop is probably produced about 5 years ago. ;)

    In any case, to install WXP use WindowsXP SP1 installations CD (factory settings). If you want to discuss a little more please explain to us what exactly is happening.

  • Satellite L355D-S7825 - hangs during the installation of recovery

    My laptop girls. She asked me to restore the computer to factory settings. It is running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I tried the restore disks 4 times now to pretty much the same results. It will get all the way to the "application final Configuration where it installs the user manual and the office links and then it's there. After reading several posts here with the same problem, I decided to let it sit all night. This morning it had expired. I clicked on the button of the mouse to wake him up. It passes to the logon screen. It shows login Admin and says that the account has been locked, please contact your system administrator. How can this be? It won't let me! My only choice is to restart the system. After the reboot, it displays the screen of the AFC and reinstalls the two same files manual user and links and then it's there.

    I can minimize the screen of the AFC I did and then I changed the power settings to never expire. I have the WiFi off button as requested by AFC screen, as it will not be installed file links with WiFi turned on and the user manual. I don't know what else to do.

    Anyone has any ideas on this? What would you say if I was totally format the HD and then try to restore? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Poppi,

    What you mean with screen AFC?

    Well, if recovery installation doesn't work properly, it s hardware malfunction or the disk recovery...

    Hi ClementLo,

    > error #49 with writing problem appeared.
    I put t know when you get exactly this message but theoretically, it might be a problem with the HARD drive. Perhaps he has bad sectors and must be replaced

    Can you also test the same using a disc of Microsoft? Maybe the disc is scratched
