• Small Windows XP need help for Satellite A215-S5849

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849, which came with Windows Vista home premium.
  Some time previously, I installed Windows XP SP3 and I also installed some drivers I found here:

  [Page where I downloaded the drivers, click on: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  I had to choose model A210 coz there is no available Satellite A215 (but its probably comparable, coz on my Vista CD provided with the drivers, he also says its for A210/A215)

  Main problem is... is there a simple way to get all the drivers XP for A215... [It is another page, where I have tried exactly my laptop and WIN XP drivers, its many for vista. Select this option to filter for XP... not many riders to tell me id, click on | http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?MOID=1998646&RPN=PSAFGU&CT=D L&BV_SessionID=@@@1886836112.1220191695@@@&BV_En gineID = cccfadefdejeidmcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0]

  I have this small problem I'd like to solve:

  1) Fn + F5 does not work... I have 2 monitors and I can't use the Fn + F5 keyboard shortcut... I have downloaded the driver... and other Fn keys work... but not F5... I searched the forum and the web and found something that I should have a "devices utility display change of ' installed, but this is only available for notebooks (Ive looked, but I found only old driver for this). How can I make Fn + F5 works under Win XP on A215?

  (2) also in my device manager I have three "Base system device" undentified "other instruments". Is this ok... or do I have some drivers or something?

  (3) and I have a question about this utility: [link here, click on: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=1903653&moid=1998646&rpn= PSAFGU&BV_SessionID=@@@0768822790.1220188011@@@& BV_EngineID = cccfadefdejeidmcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0 & ct = D L & all_docs = false]
  This would install all the drivers available for the laptop? If not, what will do, perhaps to update?

  (4) and also... multimedia keys... is possible to select play/pause, stop, next, prev buttons to program other than windows media player. ID like to run these keys on winamp, Ive downloaded a plugin for winamp, and it worked on Vista, but not on XP... in the control of Toshiba utility I can only sellect programs start with the CD/DVD and Internet buttons. Ive read sound is not possible, but it worked when I installed the plugin on Vista.

  Please read this and help.
  -----------------------

  Just in case I added the drivers I installed below. Do not really need to read what I think, but I add...

  The discs that I have installed:

  Hotkey Utility, Toshiba
  Common module, Toshiba
  Controls, Toshiba
  Display driver, ATI
  Toshiba Power Saver
  His driver, Realtek Semiconductor Corporation
  Utilities SD
  Wireless Lan Client Manager, Atheros
  Touch Pad Driver, Synaptics
  CPU driver, AMD
  Atheros wlan driver
  Software of the camera, Chicony

  Available pilots were fairly simple, coz there are an only one available for LAN, audio, Hotkeys etc. I so did not have much choice. I also checked for the material they were made and manufacturer who they are (I found the good... for example, the realtek drivers for my device realtek audio...)

  > I had to choose model A210 coz there is no available Satellite A215 (but its probably similar coz my CD with the drivers on Vista it says also it s for A210/A215)

  The A215 is a series of portable US and typically you use the Toshiba driver page us in order to get all of the compatible XP drivers.
  There is no guarantee that drivers Toshiba XP from the European page driver Toshiba work fine on the laptop Toshiba us.

  With regard to the point;

  (1) you are right. Change the display control device utility the FN + F5 key combination and the Hotkey Utility are also the FN + F5 combination work.
  This tool is available for some A210 series such as the PSAFGE series. But it does not work on all A210/A215 series.

  (2) this could be a card reader. Check if it s already installed. But note; After installing XP you will always have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager because some hardware rely only on Windows Vista. There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

  (3) in my opinion the Toshiba Software updates for Windows Vista/XP reminds on a few new updates of software available that have been published on the U.S. from Toshiba page.

  (4) I have the same problem and I think there is no way to change this in XP.
  Toshiba utility for XP controls is simply different that the version for Vista and in my eyes there is nothing to do.

• Satellite A215-S5849 - cuts off while installing XP

  Hello
  I am a system integrator and have a client who wishes to remove Vista and restore its Satellite A215 to XP recently.

  Unfortunately, the machine will not end the XP installation. I can load the cd and see the HARD drive and partitions so I know it is not a driver of SATA type or f6 related disk i/o. He gets throughout the textual part of the installation, but immeadiately plant outside after the first restart during the loading of the GUI installation part. Since that's when device drivers are loaded and the registry hive is built, I think that perhaps driver display.

  What of weird is theres no BSOD or error code reported. The laptop cuts just immeadiately power on setup windows gui loading. No problem from the cd, but not any version of xp Vista re-loads. I have tried Home - Pro - and MEdia center 2005 versions of xp, both OEM and retail box, no version of xp will complete the installation. The model No. side to the bottom is PSAFGU-07101J.

  Anyone has any ideas.

  Hello

  I think the reason is clear: you use a bad SATA driver I think, because you need one suitable for the installation of Windows XP.

  I checked the Toshiba page we where is your laptop. I think it might be a little difficult to get all the drivers because it s official XP unsupported. So in your case I check the Intel page and download the Intel for Windows XP Storage Manager.

  If you have other questions, use the search in the forum here. You will find hundreds of threads here!

  Hello

  Why do you not use the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  On this CD, all of the programs, tools, and drivers of Toshiba are preinstalled and should work without any problems. The installation is very easy.

• Need drivers Win XP for Satellite A215-S5848

  Good day, official fans!

  I bought my laptop (Satellite A215-S5848) with pre-installed Windows Vista with all the drivers and additional programs of Toshiba. But I like about Windows Vista! Now, I want to install Windows XP SP3. But I am worried about the lack of all the required drivers for Windows XP on the official site!
  I found some of them (5) for Windows XP SP3 but (nearly 40) for devices of all the portable.

  Why is it so? Why is there no drivers for Windows XP for my laptop on the website official? Where should I get them, tell me, please? I don't like Windows Vista, and it's just my choise which operating system I'm. Don't you think that such a policy (to force users to change XP on Vista) restrict the rights of customers who'm Windows XP? Where can I find all the XP drivers for my model?

  Thank you!

  Best regards

  > Good day, official fans!
  LOL: D it's maybe s doesn't know is not for you, but it is a companion of user forum. Anything with a ;) support representative

  Regarding Win XP drivers;
  I see that your laptop model is Toshiba USA.
  So if you need drivers (no matter that drivers), then you should check out the Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp#

  Unfortunately, it seems this page doesn't provide all of the necessary drivers, why? Who knows
  Anyway, the fact that not all drivers have been published on the page shouldn't t prevent you from installing XP.

  I recommend collection the drivers of your own hands.
  Many laptops are equipped with the same features and so pilots released for other series of laptops should run on your laptop too.

  Check the Toshiba European page too and check some drivers released for Satellite A200/A210 series.
  Maybe some drivers single would go too.

• Satellite A215-S7422: black screen after ATI driver installation

  Please help me. I buy the Toshiba Satellite A215-s7422 laptop and install Windows XP.
  After that I have download the driver for ATI Radeon x 1200 and install. After you reload a see black screen.

  Hmmm on which site did you download and install the ATI graphics card driver?
  The laptop seems to be produced and designed for the American market. That's why drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba site we!

  In any case, this problem seems very strange. In my opinion, you used everything simply wrong driver.
  Try to start in safe mode using the F8 key at the beginning of the startup procedure and remove the graphics driver.
  If this does not help, try to install the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD!

• Is it possible to install Win XP on Satellite T110?

  IS IT POSSIBLE TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP FOR TOSHIBA SATELLITE T110.
  BECAUSE WHEN I START INSTALLING XP IT SAYS SOMETHING "HDD ERROR" PRESS F3 YOU QUIT SMOKING.

  WHAT SHOULD I DO?

  Of course its possible.
  Win XP does not recognize the HARD drive due to lack of SATA driver.
  Add driver SATA during the installation procedure.
  The SATA drivers are part of Intel Storage Manager, which you can download from the Toshiba UE driver page.

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

  Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

  In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

  So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

• Is it possible to install a card 3 G SIM to Satellite M645-S4070 reader

  Hello!

  I have laptop Satellite M645-S4070 with serial No. YA153766K.

  It is ready for WiMAX and also has a slot for SIM card but does not have a SIM card reader.
  I took a slight peek inside and it doesn't have something that has '3G' written on it.

  Would it not possible to install a SIM card of my portable player?

  I know, I could also use USB 3 G modem but it would be much more convenient to get connection without additional devices around my laptop.

  Thank you!
  Taros

  Hello

  As far as I know there are models that supports 3 G or 4 G WiMAX Intel
  Your device supports 4G (WiMAX)

  I m not quite sure if it of possible to update this unit with a module 3G but if it would be possible, this should be done by an authorized Toshiba.

  By the way: your laptop belongs to the Toshiba US series and was released for the American market so I recommend the Toshiba forum we:

• Is it possible to install XP on Satellite A300D-155

  Is it possible to install the Windows XP on this laptop (Satellite A300D-155 PSAKCE) operating system.
  Meabe other Os like Linux?

  Meabe know someone on tols, energy saveing, I looked on the website of AMD, but I found no anythink for Vista, tols ewery to "AMD PowerNow! Technology"does not work on it.

  Meaby there of other leasing tols to save energy working on Vista?

  Hello

  The reason why the technology AMD PowerNow! Technology works' doesn t could be a fact that the BIOS does not support APM (Advanced Power Management).
  But the BIOS supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)

  However, the installation of XP is no doubt possible. I put t see serious reasons why the XP shouldn't t run in the Satellite A300D - 155 PSAKCE.

  On the Toshiba European pilot page you will find the XP drivers too, so installing XP is no doubt!

• Is it possible to install the second disk in Satellite A300-15 a PSAJ4E

  Hello!

  I just bought Satellite A300-15A (PSAJ4E).
  I read in some reviews that these models have an empty space for an additional HARD drive, but that some models do not have an additional connector for a second HDD.

  I wonder if it is possible to install the second HARD drive in my A300-15 has.

  Thank you!

  Hello Ivo

  To be clear: A300 laptop come with a few different hardware configurations. Some of them with one and some of them with two hard drives. The plastic case is the same for all models of laptops and you can find room for the second HARD drive, but the motherboard is not the same and not stretch with the second HARD drive.

  Remove the cover from the HARD drive to the second HARD drive and let us know if the HARD drive connector is available.
  I'm sure that there is no connector.

• Satellite L650-14F - it is possible to install Windows XP

  Hello and sorry for my language.

  It is possible to install Windows XP on this laptop?
  I have the Satellite L650-14F and I want to install XP 64. but the problem is, with the drivers. are they compatible?

  Help, please
  Thank you

  Yes, you can install Win xp on this laptop, but you will need to use the drivers for Win XP 64-bit.

  European driver Toshiba page provides accurate drivers for 32it version, so you have to collect drivers 64-bit with your own hands...

  But to be honest; I do not recommend using Win XP 64 bit... either you choose 32 bit or Win 7 64 bit.

  Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as the 32-bit version and most of the applications and the software is compatible with the 32-bit version.
