Satellite A300 - 1 MM-can I switch to Windows 8?
Hello!
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 MM.
It is Windows Vista, which is preinstalled.
I can it move to Windows 8?
Thanks for the tips.
In general your old A300 is not supported for Wn8. It is supported for Win7 only. Not same A500 is supported for upgrading Win8.
I have also, but running with Win7 32 bit and I m very happy with it.
As far as I know that Vista Win8 upgrade is not supported so that you can try is to install Win7 and install the upgrade for Win8. With the drivers and especially with Toshiba Utilities and tools can be a bit problematic, but you can try to use the stuff proposed for the new model of laptop.
Unfortunately on this forum we don't have much information about these updates.
If you try to install Win8 thanks for posting comments.

Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?
Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price. You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.
Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them. See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

Satellite A300 - 1 MM-can I make the memory at 800 MHz?
My TOSHIBA Satellite A300 - 1 MM has 3072 MB of DDR2 800 MHz memory, but the memory running at 667 MHz. is there a possibility to make the memory at 800 MHz?
Given that my laptop came with ddr2 800, why not work natively at this frequency?Perhaps a future update of the BIOS will solve this problem.
As far as I know the speed of the FSB is not editable and there is nothing you can do to force the RAM modules to work with faster speed.
Same BIOS update will not help you change anything. -

Hello
I tried to find the drivers for the laptop model Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 - PSAJ0E, but it seems that they are no longer available...
Does anyone know where to find these drivers (preferably for XP, but Vista also appreciated) or if any other laptop model uses the same material (if I can use its drivers)?Thanks in advance,
Victor.Hello!
I searched a bit on the Toshiba site and I think you don t have a portable Satellite Pro. The PSAJ0E is a Satellite A300 I can find on the Toshiba site:

Satellite A300-1GN - where can I find a new display driver?
Hello to you all.
I bought last year, Toshiba Satellite A300-1GN, which has ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 VGA mode. I searched on the ATI site for new drivers, but there is no driver for my graphics card. I only found drivers for ATI Radeon 3650 HD, which is not marked as MOBILITY.
Can someone help me with this problem?
Hello
Yes, that's normal that you can t find the drivers of mobility on the ATI Web site because they are designed only for cards of office.
But why do you need a new display driver? You may notice a problem with it?
Normally, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site:

Satellite A300-1JH - Vista can run mode "compatibility"?
Hello!
I searched this forum to see if my problem has been already asked and answered, but I couldn't find any relevant information, so here it is:
I have a Satellite A300-1JH (short name PSAGLE) and so far I've used with XP SP3 and everything worked perfectly. But now I installed Vista 64 bit and there are many features that does not work, because there are VERY few drivers available for the 64-bit version of Vista.
The problems that I hate the most are: turn on/off the touchpad and making multimedia buttons don't work (they are turned on - I changed the setting of the del in the BIOS, however they do nothing).
And another question: to install XP, I changed the hard drive in the BIOS of the AHCI (or *-something) to "compatibility and now I forgot and installed Vista on the compatible mode.»When I tried to change Vista in AHCI (or other) no longer works. What is the difference between the compatible mode and A mode * and has a negative influence on my computer if I use it in compatibility mode?
I hope that you will answer :).
Thank you!Hello
Vista need to AHCI mode and there is nothing you can do about it. In addition, you cannot change.
So, put it in the BIOS and reinstall Vista.
I know you won't, but Vista must be installed again. I'm sorry. -
Satellite A300 - 1MX Win7: can't capture video from conencted Camcorder FireWire
Hello
I have a problem with the video capture from a Sony TRV60E with a Satellite A300 1MX and Windows 7 camcorder via the firewire connector.
The camera is not recognized (or more) Windows.
I already changed the firewire driver under windows to the "legacy", also often described in other forums.
And for a few hours, everything worked fine. The camera has been recognized and Pinnacle Studio 14 could capture video of him.But after eight hours, the camera was suddenly is no longer recognized.
-l' camera is immediately recognized by a XP system
-On the system W7, I uninstalled, reinstalled the driver firewire, powered down the material (shot of power and the batteries for several minutes), but nothing helped.I may have a different firewire driver? Or another operating system?
Thank you.
kJIt is not easy to say what the problem is here.
For confuses me the fact that cam has BEEN recognized in the past and now for some reason any it is not recognized correctly.All devices are properly recognized in device (firewire port) Manager?
You can test the firewire port using another device?You have discovered what may be the problem. Test port firewire with other devices to see if other devices will be recognized correctly.

Satellite A300 - 1 5 - can I put it to WiFi draft N?
I have the Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 5 with the Chipset Intel GM965. The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection has been pre-installed in it.
Currently, I want to update for the Intel N wifi card 5300 wirelss. Is it possible to do?
As I'm not sure whether the motherboard is compatible with it.
If so, is there a guide on how to do it?Thank you
Kiki
> Do you want to say that if I buy the card and buy an additional antenna, it will work?
I doubt that it will work because the antenna is hidden behind the screen of the laptop and I don t think that replace you it.
First of all it s really complicated and secondly, you will lose your warranty! -

and so on...So, how do I know I've got the exact material?
Hello
Your laptop belongs to the series of PSAG8E (model number located at the bottom of the unit).
You must choose this model number in the form of driver download.It seems that the laptop has been equipped with the

-Realtek LAN card
-Graphics chip: INTEL GM45However, all the Win XP drivers are located on the European driver Toshiba page.
Choose the right model, as I said above!
