• Satellite L300D-242 - cannot install Vista after replacing HARD drive

  Hi wonder if anyone can help mei have a L300D_242 toshiba satellite that broke down and I bought a new hard drive for it because the original was not good.

  I tried to install a Vista premium 32 bit on the new hard drive, but it does not install until the 4th stage and then stops or hangs until he finishes.

  Does anyone know how to install a new hard drive and windows on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  What Vista did you use? TOSHIBA recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista?
  Format you the new HARD disk before starting the installation of Vista?

  It is possible that the new HARD drive is not good and therefore the system can not be installed properly
  You can check the drive HARD using a tool called Drive Fitness Test download this as its a freeware program and test your HARD drive.

• Portege R500 - install Win XP - no hard drive detected

  Hello

  I just bought a new Toshiba Portege R500 notebook - 12 H with Windows Vista, and I would like to format the hard drive and install Windows XP instead.

  I have a Windows XP CD (the one from my old PC), I insert the disk and start the laptop computer on the installation of the Windows XP CD to load, I get the screen asking me "push F3 to quit, entry to install XP" (as usual).
  But when I click on 'install', it says no hard drive has been detected, and I wonder if I have any additional drivers.

  How is it possible that my 120 GB HD is not detected? It is in a format that does not know Windows XP? Can I get a driver, how can I install it? Can I upgrade the bios?

  Please help me ;)

  Thanks for all,

  Missing driver SATA.
  Very good description how to prepare the CD of facilities, you can find HERE.

• Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

  Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
  My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

  You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

  The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
  How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

  2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

  See you soon

  > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
  Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
  You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

  But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

  With regard to the sound:
  As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
  But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
  I recommend to test

  ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS HARD DRIV IS GOOSED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE SO EASILY CORRECTED.

  Hi mate

  I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
  Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
  Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
  Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

  PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

• Satellite Pro 4600 PS460E - cannot install Win XP

  Since there are 2 variants of numbers on this laptop, am confused abit as forums to post on, appologise if I am wrong again.

  Am pretty much run out of idea what could be the problem, so in a last effort to try to solve this problem, I thought to post it here.

  I have a Toshiba SP4600 series (model PS460E), I went to format and reinstall a fresh XP install, it has now got a new 60gig IDE HARD drive, currently only 128meg ram, as it is not easy to find, and I did not belive he can handle a lot of anways.

  To start the automatic windows boot from the CD-ROM drive, it crosses all pretty fine, you see all the options of drivers loading etc. at the bottom of the screen. He then came to the "Setup starts Windows' and just hangs, does not move, do not disable, does nothing, just stay on that screen and nothing else, the CD-Rom and HARD drive seem to just stop as well.

  The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.

  I used a large number of diagnostic tools, to test the memory, hard drive, card mother/etc, the only one who crashed out bombed was a stress test version that starts ok, then 15 minutes crashses, so not sure it would be.

  No idea how to fix this?

  as am enough out of all atm ideas :/

  > The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.
  Did the same problem occurs using the old 20 GB HARD drive?
  If the same thing happened with the smaller HARD drive so I guess that this problem is NOT related to a HARD disk, but in another part

  Eventually he s a RAM who knows
  In many cases the RAM can be the problem when the laptop do not answer...

  What temperature?
  Have you noticed a temperature higher coming or warm air from the vents?
  The laptop seems to be old, maybe the cooling modules are dirty and cannot cool the processor properly?
  In such cases, it s advisable to clean the fan using a jet of compressed air

  In any case, I think you should also test the laptop with other RAM modules

• Satellite NB10-A-104 - cannot install Win 7 64 bit

  Hi all

  I can't install Windows 7 pro 64-bit original, on my laptop,
  probably the bios does not make me the boot on exsternal burner... the bios is version 1.00 and the hard drive is new...

  what I can do...
  Thank you very much

  If you want to boot from an external source (other then the internal HARD disk), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

  But as far as I know the BIOS supports boot devices: USB FDD, primary HARD disk, USB memory and network (LAN)

  I bought a laptop 15 b A300, and it comes with win Vista pre-installed
  I want to change my OS to Win XP.
  After searching this forum, I noticed that I have to make a backup of the original Toshiba Recovery DVD.

  Hello

  You can burn and create the own Vista recovery DVDs using Toshiba recovery disc creator software.
  It s preinstalled on your laptop.

  Please check the desktop shortcuts or folder on the C:\ Program Files

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator will burn the image of Toshiba.
  I also recommend the use of DVD-R discs, some people have an error message when burning because of DVD disc is not compatible.

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) and my question is, can I add second HARD drive? Now, I have a HARD inside drive, Hitachi 250 GB, 5400 RPM. is there a place for the second HARD drive?

  I want to buy some 2.5 in 7200 RPM, thx in advance.

  Hello

  Check the bottom of the unit.
  There should be a second HARD drive Bay.
  If the second HARD drive bay contains the pins of the connector HDD/then you could add a second HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  If the connector is not available, then the second HDD is not possible.

• Pure install Win 7 - hybrid hard drive

  I have a HP ENVY Ultrabook 6-1030sm laptop. It uses a hard drive (hybrid) combined with ssd. I want to install a clean version of Windows 7. After you run the installer, I get an error message indicating "no hard disk found. "Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage. I tried to copy the drivers (both exe and extracted) on USB, but after scanning the content, he always says there is no hard drive found on the selected source.
  
  Google produces an idea that I should use diskpart, select one of the disks and clean it. DiskPart tells me that there is only a single disk with 7 GB in size. I guess it's the SSD HARD drive part.
  
  Please give me help on what I have to do to install a clean version of Windows 7 and always use SSDS. Thank you!

  Hello:

  Try this...

  Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed - 32 or 64 bit depending on the case).

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+RAPI...

  Extract the files on a usb flash drive.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and hopefully W7 should install.

  I had also read that info since you have a hybrid drive.
