  Any help would be most appreciated, Please help!

  There is no reason to discuss on the RAM upgrade, because things are clear: RAM upgrade will be successful if you use only compatible modules and module 1 GB for your laptop with PA3411U-2M1G part number.

  Use two of them, and everything will be OK.

  Back to WXP stuff.
  Installation of WXP can be quite complicated as all things, especially specific tools Toshiba and public services must be installed in the correct order. Before you begin to install Toshiba stuff, you must install common modules. It is a fundamental tool, and it must be installed first. Problem is that we support for your laptop model page, I can't find common modules for download.

  What you can try is to install from the European page. You can find it HERE. Check it out.

• Satellite A105-S4074 - which HARD drive for upgrade?

  I want to replace the Toshiba MK1234GSX (120 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-150, 8 MB cache) hard drive on my A105-S4074 laptop with a bigger. My question is whether it is good to buy a Toshiba HDD no.

  Available on direct to my computer Toshiba laptop is only the following HARD disk:
  HDDR320I02X
  Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "5400 RPM internal notebook hard drive - SATA"
  Capacity: 320 GB
  Interface: Serial ATA 150
  Speed: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB

  I wonder if such a 320 GB or 500 GB WD HARD or Momentus drive will work very well, for example
  -Western Digital 320 GB / 500 GB Scorpio blue SATAII 5400 RPM 2.5 IN. 8 MB in bulk / OEM hard drive (WD3200BEVT/WD5000BEVT
  -Seagate Momentus 5400.6 320/500 GB 5400 RPM / MIN SATA 3 GB/s 8 MB Cache 2.5 inch internal NB Hard Drive (ST9320325AS/ST9320325AS)

  Also, is it wise purchase a 7200 RPM HARD drive for this laptop? Would this work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First on interface SATA there is no capacity limit. This means that you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface and it should work fine.

  It is also irrelevant if you buy a Toshiba, Western Digital, etc. There is not much difference between the models. It of your choice what you buy! ;)

  Theoretically, 7200 RPM HARD drive should work but don t forget that they produce more heat and need more battery power. 5400 RPM should be sufficient for most applications.

  Good bye

• BSOD appears during installation of XP Pro on a Satellite A105-S4074

  I'm trying to install XP Pro on the existing XP MCE on my laptop A105-S4074. After the installation is complete windows inspect the equipment, it stops with a blue screen saying:
  ----
  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates...

  STOP: 0X0000007E

  This is a result of the Intel 82801GBM Serial ATA (ICH7-M family) storage controller in the system? Or is it something else? How can I overcome this?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Have you used a CD Windows preinstalled SP1 and SP2?
  I remember that something similar happened to me several months ago.
  I have one of the first versions of XP without Sp1 and Sp2.
  The installation was not possible until I implemented the Sp1 and Sp2 on Win's CD.
  I did it with 3 application of the part called nLite.

• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

  You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)

• Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
  I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

  Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hi Pranjal,

  You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
  http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

  You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

  I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.

  Kind regards

  Then I put the Satellite P100 - 188 T2400 T2500 or T2600 CPU and can I use ddr2 667 mhz Ram?

  Any suggestions how much performance increase if you upgrade hard drive 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM with 8 MB of cache?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The CPU cannot be replaced. But you can expand the memory with the modules:
  PA3499U - 1 M 25 (Kit of memory 256 Mo DDR2-667)
  PA3511U - 1 M 51 (Kit of memory 512 MB DDR2-667)

• Satellite A105-s4074 need to recover my system

  Looking to recover my system to factory settings, but have lost my recovery disc.

• Satellite A105 freezes after loaded Windows xp

  I have a Satellite A105 - S4074.
  The operating system loads then freezes.

  I tried safe mode and ran the error checking and defragmentation. I tried the config sys and when the system is loaded, then freezes.
  I have the week last to system load and have an internet connection. But it froze again the next day.

  I can't get a consistent performance. I have windows xp media center. I've recently upgraded ram to 4 GB.
  What are my options? I lost the original restore disks.

  I'm ready to reformat the hard drive if necessary.

  > I recently upgraded ram to 4 GB.
  Have you checked if the laptop would freeze using the old RAM modules?
  If this isn't the case, then you should check this!

  In many cases of bad, no compatible or defective modules could cause these issues

• My Satellite A105 is trolling

  I have a Satellite A105-S4074 and we work badly lately, I did not install any drivers or program. The problem is as a 'delay' in everything I do. I noticed that when I was listening to music or when I started a program that has sounds because they cannot be read fluently.

  I have this problem windows starts slower that it usually does. I had this problem once and the solution was to reinstall windows. I wish that any solution that you can give me. Thank you for your attention.

  Hello

  To be honest, I also think that the new installation of the operating system is the best solution. Especially if you don't have enough experience with the operating system.

  This time, you can try to optimize the HARD drive activity and run the Disk Defragmenter tool. You can find it under start all programs accessories tools drive system Defragmenter.

  Please mark the C volume and click DEFRAGMENT.
  After you have finished, restart your laptop. Please post the results. There are a few more things you can of but we do this step by step.

• Satellite A105-S2194 acknowledges that half of the installed RAM.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A105-S2194 I bought in January 2007 from Walmart. It came with a single stick of PC - 4200 512 MB of RAM. Later this year, I bought a 1 GB of RAM PC-4200 (Crucial memory) key, so it has been read 1.5 G since then. Last week, I bought another stick of 1 GB of RAM (Kingston), which is PC-5300. Today, I installed the second stick, and when I started, it shows only 1 GB of memory in the BIOS and Ubuntu.

  If I take one of the sticks out (any), then it also shows 1 GB. This isn't a case of the PC-5300 is not not retro-compatible.

  Then I have three questions.

  1 is actually able to give me 2 (as advertised in different memory online configurators) GB the laptop?
  2. the fact that I mix PC-4200 and PC-5300 the reason why it does not show 2 GB now?
  3. If it's the fact that I mix speeds, should I buy another PC-4200 (which was originally installed) or another PC-5300 (I'm leaning toward the 5300, since that would mean only two brand new sticks as opposed to one that is 4 years old and a brand new).

  Thanks, and have a great day :)
  Patrick.

  In your case the problem is compatibility.

  Please visit THIS page and clck on detailed specifications. You will find all necessary information on your laptop and also part of the compatible memory modules number al.

  My answers to your questions:
  # Yes.
  # Probably
  # Use two modules with the same specifications. (PC-4200)

• In Satellite A105-S2236 RAM upgrade problems

  I'm working on a Satellite A105-S2236 for a customer. She has Windows Vista Basic - and did not come with 512 MB of RAM, so it is very slow. I went by Crucial and got another chip 512 MB for this computer - after installation, it shows again that 512 - I tried to change the chips, each chip individiually running into the two slots to see if 1 chip or locations did not work, and everything works fine - except with 2 512 chips - it shows more than 512 RAM.

  I spent some time on the phone with Toshiba - bascially for them to tell me that the motherboard is picky and will not recognize 2 different brand of chips of RAM. 2 chips are quite identical features except the one who came there is Samsung and the new is Crucial. I can't believe they don't work together.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You won't believe me, but many people have reported the same issue with the essential modules. The best thing you can do is to return and buy products known and of good quality. If you want one, order the module of RAM Kingston. They will work for sure.
