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.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista cling - what can I do?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with operating system Windows Vista Home Edition.
    After a few weeks of work with my laptop, it cling.
    I reinstalled the OS but and it works fine for 1 or two months, then the laptop to hang again.
    October 2008, I bought this laptop and I reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.

    What can I do?

    You mean that Vista does not answer after some time?
    Well my friend, this may be a software problem.

    I mean there is no quick fix for these issues, I assume that you have installed and used many different applications on this laptop.
    It is possible that one of the applications is causing this problem
    It would be also possible that entries in registry and system files have been changed during Microsoft updates

    In my opinion, you must use some cleaning as for example the CCLeaner tools.
    It s free and it cleans your registry and other files

    You should also check the applications that are running while the system would begin to cling
    Finally and above all I recommend you memory, you can run a memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find some problems of memory.

    Good luck

  • 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.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - Vista does not start, a lot of corrupted files

    My PC (toshiba satellite A300 1J1) suffered some random freezes for the past month. A few days ago it froze so I restarted and it could not start. He got as far as the scrolling green bar under the name of microsoft and then progress any more. I tried to start it in all different modes but without prevail. I tried to do a system restore, but it can't find any restore point, or all the files to reset to factory specifications.

    The hard drive works as I could locate all my files via the command prompt. When I run the check disk tool it says many files are unreadable, so I want to reset the PC but can't due to lack of points on each side of the partioned reset disk.

    My PC came with no recovery disk and I fear that in the past, I accidentally deleted file recovery on the HARD drive. What can I do? will be Toshiba sent me disks so I ask them or I have to wipe the drive and buy windows 7 as a last resort?

    > will be Toshiba sent me disks so I ask them or I have to wipe the drive and buy windows 7 as a last resort?

    No, dude, it won't send you free and you must order for money https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx you can also install Win copy yourself if you get the windows disk.

  • Satellite A300 - Win Vista instalation disk missing

    Hello world.

    This is my first time on any forum ever :)

    In August 2008, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 149. There was a lot of turbulence in our relationship, but we always went by them so far.

    Some time ago I added an additional hard drive just for the system. I did it just to have all important data in the entity. This extra drive decided to die.

    The problem is that there is no more the oryginal disc recovery so I have a laptop, hard drive and the product key for windows, but no instalation windows disk or at least file.

    Can you please help me and tell what should I do now because I can't undo what I've done already :)

    Hello

    Your A300 was delivered with the operating system from Vista preinstalled (recovery image). This recovery image is saved on the HARD disk. Operating manuals s described document that each owner of the laptop must create the installation of recovery disk using pre-installed recovery media creator tool.

    If I understand you right you didn't he create if it is your only error.
    What can you do now?
    You have two options:
    1 / you can order the original recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    2 / you can install own OS version

    I have too many A300 and for three years I use it with Windows 7 32 bit. It works perfectly and much better than original Vista.

    In any case, you do need to make the decision. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good bye

    You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
    If Yes use this support to reinstall the original Vista recovery image.
    Is preinstalled original Toshiba Vista or your own installation?

    Hello

    Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
    The Sat A300-1GN belongs to the PSAGCE series.
    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there are two pilots;
    I think that you should choose the ATI driver 8.477 display because this driver supports the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips.

    Other base system devices could be Bridge Media slot (for SD cards), touchpad, HDMI Control Manager.

    I didn't find these drivers 64-bit on Toshiba page. Maybe you should choose some drivers for Vista 32 bit

  • 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.

  • Satellite A300 (PSAJ0E) - where can I find the drivers?

    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,

  • Satellite A300 PSAG0A: Vista to XP downgrade question

    I just bought a Satellite A300 with the following details:

    Model satellite A300/Y00 (exclusive to Dikc Smith Electronics in Australia)
    PSAG0A-02Y009
    2.1 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100
    2 GB RAM DDR2 (667 MHz)
    250 GB SATA HARD drive
    Graphics Intel X 3100 (GM965)
    MS Windows Vista Business pre installed
    MS WIndows XP downgrade for A300 recovery disk media

    Basically, I just turned on and configure everything, nothing about that fact yet, not even other software installed.
    I immediately made 2 copies of the recovery of the product for Vista media. So the disc XP and Vista should have all the drivers on them.

    I want to install a software particularly (for programming electronic components), but the company said that it is not fully compatible with Vista. Therefore, I would like to downgrade to XP and use it for 6 to 12 months, and later POSSIBLY roll back to Vista.

    Now, the information provided by Toshiba are limited with respect to the downgrading to XP. (And there is absolutely nothing about to go back to Vista).
    The documentation provided shows four options at retirement:
    1) recover to out-of-box-state,.
    (2) covers the single State of Windows,
    (3) recover without changing hard disk partitions,
    4) recover on a custom size partition. He then goes on to say "Please do not select 'Recover without changing the partitions of hard drive' as a method of recovery." Windows XP cannot be used by the composition of the partition of Windows Vista".

    First of all, what are the ramifications of the other options? What is the best/worst one and why?

    If I understand correctly, the partitioning of the hard drive must be changed for the downgrade to XP.
    But in Vista, there is a separate partition to store data recovery, so that the partition will be changed (lost).
    If ever I decide to go back to Vista, the Vista recovery media I created also change the partitioning to the way it was originally?

    I dared not touch anything until I'm 100% sure of what needs to be done.
    If anyone has any experience with this or advice, I would be grateful for your expertise.
    Feel free to be as detailed and technical that you like - I want to 'understand' and not just 'do '.

    Thanks in advance,
    Robert.

    Hi Robert

    I put t have Satellite A300 and I don t have an Australian notebook but I m, owner of another European model Satellite with preinstalled Vista operating system!
    In any case, I want to share my experience with Vista and XP and of course the recovery procedure on E

    First I noticed that the new notebook series is not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD but the image recovery is store on the HARD drive and you can create and burn image from own DVD.
    Seems that you already have.

    As you already suggested the Vista supports 2 different partitions. A partition is the system partition and the partition of the other, smaller, hidden was created for Vista backup files. So if something goes wrong with your Vista operating system, you can use the repair function on Vista to repair the operating system. In this case, small backup partitions, hidden in necessary.

    I also like Xp and that's why I installed it on my laptop. I didn't format t disc installed HARD but the XP on a new created partition.
    You can create a partition in Vista's disk management.
    In any case, I now have a dual boot OS and I use Vista and XP.

    With regard to the use of the Vista DVD recovery;
    If you want to go back to Vista, you will need to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD and the Vista installation process should begin.
    But be aware that the Vista recovery CD would format the whole HARD drive.
    It would erase the partitions and remove stored data.
    Therefore, you must back up your data before that you would use the recovery CD!

    Hope this little info will help you.

    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:
