Satellite A100 - re - install Win XP

I have another Satellite A100 (PSAA2E) in which I upgrade the hard drive as the current is too small and slow.

I have the cd - key stuck at the bottom of the laptop, but I wanted to know I will be able to use a disc windows xp home SP3 install or do I need a disc of xp without service pack home?

Hello

It s advised and recommended to use a Windows XP disk that includes at least SP2.
If your Win XP disk is not contains SP2 or SP3, then you could create a clean Win XP disk and could include service packs using nLite.

Google for nLite in order to get more details about this nice tool.

  • Satellite A100-683 with Win 7 - screen brightness adjustment does not work

    Hello

    I have a model of Satellite A100-683 PSAA9E with Win 7

    My problem is that I don't have a brightness in my dashboard-> laptop Center

    I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

    I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

    Please help me!
    Sorry for my English mistakes.

    Hello

    The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
    I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
    After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
    Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
    It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
    After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

    Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

    Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
    Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.

  • Satellite A100 - incorrectly installed processor

    Hi team,

    With much hope and reputation, in the month of October 2007 (app) I buyes a Toshiba Satellite A100 series laptop. When I buy I was told that the laptop contains an Intel Dual Core processor, and even being mentioned as a label on the laptop. Seeing that I bought the laptop.

    After the purchase of laptop with the same hope, thinking that thosiba will give good service, I tool a warrantry of extension for another two years.

    After a few days of my purchase of laptop I got to know that the laptop doesnot contain processor dual-core Intel but is to have the Intel Core Duo processor that I don't want any.

    Immediately I took the laptop to nearest HCL care in chennai, they took the laptop protographs, xerox copies of my purchase and the warranty extension books and informed me that they will come back to me. I've been in regular contact with them during the month of may, but they have not responded to this.

    Now it's almost more than 1 year and the issue is not resolved

    We hope that you will look like this. I write here waiting for that I will get some justice at least at this point of time

    With the last hope on Thoshiba

    Hello!

    I think Garrett is right and I checked the specs on the site posted by Garrett.

    I think the sticker on your laptop is the same as on any other laptop, so I think that you don t have a bad processor installed in your laptop.

    Simply follow the links posted by Garrett. On the Wikipedia site, you can see that everything is ok!

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100 - cannot install VAP - ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE

    I got a Satellite A100 (PSAA9E)
    I downloaded Toshiba VAP for vista from the Toshiba homepage.
    When I try to install it, I get this error:

    ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE

    Can someone help me get PPV on my Satellite to use the FN buttons?

    Hello

    The VAP can be installed only running Vista OS and also the BIOS should be updated too.

  • R850-14 t - FN feature satellite lost after installing Win 7

    Hey,.

    After Installing Win 7 32 bit, I had no functionality of FN.
    I tried to find and also tried some drivers on the homepage, but I don't have the right one.

    If some know what driver I need exactly?

    Thank you!

    Hi mate

    Did you install VAP (value added package)?
    If this is not the case, to do this. After that, restart the laptop and check the functionality of the FN button.

    If the FN button would not work, install utility Support Flash Card which you could find in the box driver for other portable computer laptops; for example L500

    Hello

    I read in a forum that the map graphic of this laptop a geforce go 7600 is. So now, here's the problem. In another forum I read that some graphics from nvidia with 128 MB cards have a 64-bit technology. So now, I want to know if this card in Satellite A100-495 with 64-bit technology?

    It would be nice if you answer and give an experience with this laptop.

    MFG

    PS Sorry for the bad English.

    Did you mean graphics drivers with 64-bit technology or the graphics chip?
    The different Geforce graphics chips are supported values of up to 256-bit
    As far as I know this laptop with GeForce Go 7600 Code name G73M graphics controller takes in charge a time memory 1000 MHz 128-bit memory interface.

  • Satellite L300 - clean install Win 7 SP1 64 bit

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, replacing the normal 32-bit Vista that comes with the laptop.

    The facility has been good, but I have a few questions about the following:

    I adjusted the automatic run settings to ask every time for all selections. The problem is that when the game DVD in WMP or VLC disk reads but is noisy. It is very good for the s CD without excessive noise. The acoustic silencer on the download site is for 32-bit, but can be used in this laptop. In the original Vista there is no noise at all, so I wonder if there is other parameters that can sort this point, otherwise I'll have to keep changing things manually with the acoustic silencer.

    I noticed a very low noise coming from laptop (like a lighter version of a business when you're boarding Jet it). I ran a video memory Stress Test CE and he showed a few errors. If I reduce the brightness of the screen there is less noise so I wonder if it's something to do with the Panel of inverter of screen I'm sure that's not the HARD drive or the cooling fan, but it could be something on the motherboard.

    On the backup plan Acronis will slow down my system or are Win 7 OK backup options?

    Thanks a lot for all the possible solutions to these problems.

    A long time ago I've installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. It worked perfectly. Much better than original Vista.
    > I still don't know what is the best test for the screen.
    I put t understand what kind of test do you mean. I hope that you have installed the right display driver and LCD works perfectly with a native resolution.

    Win7 recovery with Acronis image creation is, generally, the right decision. With this disc, you can install Win7 again and again very rapidly and you should not install every single driver separately.

    If you want to keep this laptop any longer I think it is worth to buy it. One last thing: you will buy it once and you can use it in the future too if you decide to buy the new laptop or PC.

  • C850-F0152 - Wireless satellite went after installing Win 7

    Hello

    I have a C850-F0152, I got with Win 8 so I reformatted with win 7 x 64, but my wireless has disappeared...

    What I mean, it's, I had wireless with win8, I could connect to networks and things, but with reformatting its just went, there is no adapter wireless picked up in my device manager and I don't see anything in the network and sharing Center.

    All my drivers are installled... I think, I let windows download most of them and the only ones that I can't find online and that windows is also not's. Controller, USB network controller, then it lists 1 unknown device.

    Someone help please, I had no idea whats going on.

    > All of my drivers are installed, I think,.

    Well, I think that you have not installed a compatible WLan driver

    The laptop seems to support Realtek Wlan / BT combo card.
    This means that a single module shares the Wlan and BT function.

    In this case, you must install Realtek Wlan driver, Realtek BT filter package and finally the Toshiba BT stack.

    PS. Satellite C850-F0152 belongs to the PSCBWF series. All drivers should be available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver

  • Satellite A100: Cannot install recovery after having deleted the Ubuntu partition

    Hello friends,

    I have the Satellite A 100. I was using dual OS - windows vista home edition and Ubuntu. Now I wanted to remove Ubuntu and so I did the stupidest thing - directly delete the partition with Ubuntu which had the GRUB files. Then to the laptop computer restart of course the Grub bootloader wasn't there and if the computer is not started or load any OS. Then I thought that I will reinstall Vista with product recovery CD but the progress reached at 2% and then I keep getting error 1117 a failure to read. I tried so many times without success. I even tried to install XP, but it says Intel boot agent cannot make connection. And it also fails.

    Please help to reinstall Vista or XP. I'm really stuck and I learned a lesson not to tinker in mobile when it isn't those of Cup of tea!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    > Now if I download EasyBCD how would I be able to run it or how should I use it?
    You will not be able to run EasyBCD because you are not able to boot Vista.
    EasyBCD can be installed only in Vista and will allow you to change the Vista Boot Manager.

    I think you need to format the entire disk HARD again should erase all partitions and must attempt to reinstall Vista.

    I recommend using a free tool called GParted LiveCD. Google for what it helps format the HARD drive!

  • Satellite A660 - cannot install Win 7 using the external DVD drive

    Hello

    You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
    Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
    Press F12.

    Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

    In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

  • Satellite C650 - after installing Win 7 SP1, computer does not start

    Hello

    When I tried to launch the Win 7 Service pack 1 update, it 'impossible' and now I can't start my computer, even in safe mode. When I turn it on, no matter what I do (including let it run or by pressing F8) results in the message:

    "For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.1.0 (15/12/09)
    Check the connection of the cable!

    i.e., I can't go to the start menu.

    The only thing I can access is the utility Boot screen by pressing F12. Experience with Service packs, I'm trying to access the system restore to undo the update, but I can't get there.

    Win 7 came preinstalled on my computer and my computer was working fine before I tried to install SP1, so all the solutions / advice would be much appreciated!

    Thank you
