Satellite A300-1 - disk HARD for XP drivers

Hello

I have Toshiba Satellite A300-1.
No recovery CD were delivered by Toshiba.
I have a laptop formatted, a valid key of XP, but I can't install it because it does not recognize the hard drive.

Where can I find the hard disk for my A300 1 drivers.

I'm really tired of finding a sollution for my new laptop.

Thank you

Hello

You are right. Recovery DVDs is not delivered because recovery image is saved on the second partition of HARD drive. After the first start, there is recall with exact explanation to create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool.

If you ignore it, now you don't have the ability to create this DVD again. Really great!

Anyway, what you need now is driver SATA and it must be loaded at startup by using the F6 key. You can save it to diskette drive or create a clean bootable media.
On this thread, you can find an exact explanation on laptop Windows XP Home on Satellite Pro computer installation but the principle remains the same and you can do the same on your laptop.

    Hello

    The point is Toshiba doesn't provide all driver Linux for laptop, so you must look it up. Toshiba offers only Vista and XP for Satellite A300 drivers that can be downloaded on the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

    Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

    Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
    The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

    I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
    In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A300-PSAG8E - drive HARD light flashes even when I do nothing

    These are my problems

    1. my HARD drive indicator flashes even when I do nothing (flashes every half second or more)

    2. when I go somewhere my screen turns off and when I move my screen mouse lights up but nothing happens. Everything stands still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes) and it is ready to operate.

    BIOS upgrade to the version 2.20

    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG8E

    Someone knows the solution?

    Need help please! Thank you

    > 1. My drive HARD light flashes even when I do nothing (flashes every half second or more)
    Even if you n touch cell phone t, the disk is running and different applications, access data. Applications and processes that are running in the background cause this blinking. Notes; This isn't a problem!

    > 2. When I go somewhere, my screen turns off and when I move my screen mouse lights up but nothing happens. Everything stands still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes) and it is ready to operate.
    Disable the support by modem and disable the settings turn off the screen while the laptop is not in use. This is possible in the Windows 7 power management.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1GN - required XP for a long time to start

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300-1GN.
    I reinstalled from Vista to XP Home.
    After you have installed all the drivers from my system starts more than 4 minutes. I'm on SATA (no AHCI) compatibility mode.
    You have the same problem?

    I can't go because I have the blue screen to AHCI.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    If you have disabled the SATA feature then the HARD drive and the entire operating system can not be used with better performance and this could be the reason why the laptop needs a little more to start.

    But the problem is that if you allow the AHCI in the BIOS, then your operating system would not start and you need to reinstall new OS using the SATA drivers.

    Another reason why Notepad starts slowly could be a large amount of running system process in the context of the BONE.

    Factors that could affect the start-up procedure

    Hello!

    To be honest it's a little hard to understand your question.

    What exactly is your problem? I think you want to register on the site to upgrade to Windows 7.
    I n t have experience with this because I didn t buy such a phone compatible update yet, but I think that you need the serial number and the model number of the laptop. The two pieces of information you can find on the underside of the laptop.

    Don t forget that this upgrade option is available for laptop purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

  • Satellite A300-1ED-CD-key for the installation of Vista OEM?

    Hi all!

    I have question. Can I legaly use cd key of windows vista Home premium preinsaled on my Satellite A300-1ED to install a clean oem Windows Vista Home Premium without toshiba or mcafee software?

    Many thanks for the answer!

    You can try to do, but it won't work. This key will not activate your own operating system preinstalled.
    This product key is for the recovery image, that you got with your laptop.

    Many people understand this wrong, especially when they sell old books on eBay and wrote: legal production key is on the bottom. And what to do with this key? You can't do anything with it.

  • Satellite A300 - 15 d: good for games?

    Hello
    I'm about to buy Satellite A300 - 15 d, and my question is:
    Is there someone at - it tested about this laptop with latest games?

    Since he gets some nice hardware (on paper), so I am abit frustrated if it runs smoothly to new games, or it to freeze or restart every 5 min. because of overheating problems.

    I can't find a good review of this book, so please if there is someone who has tested A300 - 15A with games like Crysis and Age of Conan, please can you me if this machine is stable for the games or not!

    Thanks in advance

    P.S. - Very very sorry for my bad English! : P

    Hello!

    First of all, I want to tell you, that I do not own this piece of hardware, but I would like to discuss some points with you, which can help you, I hope.

    To be honest, I don't think you'll be happy playing the high end like Crysis on this machine games. As I play this game too, I can tell, it's a killer of real hardware and even on my very good desktop PC it does not also smooth I wanted he would run.

    I don't like online RPG like Age of Conan or World of Warcraft, so have not checked this hardware configuration recommended, but everything I read it too has some powerful hardware.

    Not knowing does not, if you want to play your game with all the detail on a high and maximum or simply resolution settings happy that if games are playable, I don't know if this is the right machine for you.

    Have you already checked other series like Qosmio? Looked to me like a beautiful piece of hardware but did not have one or let me know better.

  • To change the Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 for another similar model

    I started using the Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 in October 2008. I liked its sleek black design perfect, but his memory crashed. The service center offers to change my laptop for another with the same characteristics. But I put t know which one to choose. I would, of course, Toshiba.

    I will be grateful to everyone

    If you want to have the Satellite A300 once again I recommend to use the model of PSAG8E. I have more than a year now and I'm really happy with it.
    If you have the opportunity to take other, more recent, portable check new Satellite A500. I like it.
    There are 16 display, refined design and wonderful backlit keyboard.

  • Satellite A300 - multimedia key starts for laptop

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite A300 and it was turn mysteriously. After an inspection, I discovered that while the computer is totally off, if I press one of the multimedia keys (the other starting on the left) the books starts as if it had hit the power button.

    This happens to you one of you? How can I stop this?

    By the way, I installed windows 7, which I think has nothing to do because this happens with the laptop is turned off, but who knows.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think it's normal, the than mine did the same thing.

    When you press the Internet button, it will start Windows and start your browser.
    When you press the media button, it boot Windows and start the Media Player.

    I do not know how to turn it off, but it doesn't bother me anyway.
