Satellite A300 1lW - installation of Windows 7 - any questions?

Good morning/afternoon!

I would like to install a new internal hard drive on my laptop and I want to put windows 7 on it.

The problem is that it is the first time that I'm going to do this and I Don t really know what kind of functionality will be incompatible with this installation.

-You can recommend me a version of windows 7 that may be suitable for this laptop?
-What features will be disabled when I install windows 7 on my new hard drive?

Thank you very much!

Remy

Hi mate

To be honest I wonder about these questions.
Windows 7 is fully supported and normally you should get no problems with Windows 7 running on Satellite A300.

The Windows 7 drivers are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. T
for this I put t expect serious problems.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask the people here in the community. :)

    No one knows how to fix this?

    Hi dilettafornasiero,

    I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

    You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

    Hello

    I m wondering that you want to install Windows server on a laptop...

    In any case, it is a known problem and also happens on XP and Vista. To fix this you need to use the laptop SATA driver or you change the SATA mode in the BIOS by AHCI compatible, then you don't need a driver.

    Here are some instructions that might be useful for you:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

    I do not know if you will get a driver for Server 2003 but you can try the XP driver and in the worst cases, it must use compatible mode m.

    Let me give you a little advice: If you have other questions, use the forum search. You can find hundreds of discussions about this.

  • Satellite A300 BSOD when installing Windows XP

    Bought a new Satellite A300 that ships with Vista and a load of other rubbish.
    Set the BIOS to boot from the installation CD of Windows XP, but just after loading the drivers and files and just before
    from Windows XP installs, crash with blue screen advising me:

    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer,
    blah, blah. In other words blue screen of death that ends with this message - STOP: 0xF78D2524, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000

    Now, I've had quite a few machines over the years, but never something like that before you encounter when you try to
    install an operating system.

    Any advice appreciated, otherwise unit will have to go back to the seller.

    Thank you

    Joe

    Access the BIOS-> SATA mode choose and is compatible-> save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Then try to reinstall Win XP with SP2.

    You get Win7 to older models of laptops. Everything you can possibly do is to order Upgrade DVD but hey Win7 Toshiba DVD facilities can not be ordered.

  • Satellite A300 - how to install Windows XP

    Hello

    In order to use certain virtual machines of Windows, I need to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP... My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A300, equipped with Centrino 2 (2.26 Ghz), 4 GB of RAM

    I would like to know if it is easy to install Windows Xp on my computer, and if there is not driver related to issues of this...

    Could you please give me some instructions to install Win XP and all my drivers to make my laptop works under the best conditions.

    Thanks in advance for your support

    Hello!

    In your case I would visit the Toshiba driver download page. Search for Satellite A300 and Windows XP, you will find all the drivers you need.
    It is therefore no problem to install Windows XP because you can get all the drivers of Toshiba.

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    But don t forget, Windows XP does not recognize the full 4 GB of RAM. I think this should be 3, 2 GB because it is a 32 bit OS.

  • Satellite U840 - new installation of Windows 7

    My U840-113 had a hard drive failure, and I did not all backups of the system image.
    I installed a new hard drive (no problem), but go crazy trying to get Windows 7 for reinstall.

    Here is what happened...
    -Install Windows 7 (service Pack 1) via CD/DVD external, accidentally installed the 32-bit version. No problem, but as I started to go to find all the drivers on the Toshiba site, I noticed some 32-bit options were absent.
    -Tried to install the 64-bit version - NOTE, my Windows 7 original release, so before service Pack 1)
    -Initially I got error messages indicating that the CD/DVD drivers should continue. Really?
    -After research, downloaded the drivers on a CD to use as needed. Did not get this message again because I moved the CD/DVD on another port USB (one who had already given this message!)
    -Got if the whole installation, and I get a message "no compatible hardware. What?
    -Tried once again, the same message.
    -Deletion of the Raid on the SSD drive not... no more Raids on anything!
    -Tried once again, the same message.

    So I'm sure that this issue has to do with the Raid drivers.

    What exactly is the 'trick' to do a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit on this machine?

    I'll see if I can get 64-bit Service Pack 1 (on USB!) to try for my next attempt.

    I left the PC at work, while I wouldn't rest up all night trying to get this to work.

    Thank you!

    I checked the specification for your laptop and it was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64-bit Home Premium so I recommend you to reinstall Win7 64-bit. It is fully supported and all the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Please note that you need drivers for Satellite U840 PSU4SE.

    Here, you can also download RAID driver to load before starting the installation of Win7. I imagine that without this driver drive HARD will not appear. Download and save to USB key.
    Generally installing Win7 on this machine should not be a big deal. I did it on U940 without any problem.
    When external ODD is connected start Notepad and press F12. Choose the CD/DVD as first boot device and confirm with the button enter. I assume you are using the original installation of the Microsoft Win7 disc, right?

    Disc should be read and the installation should begin. When you see that the disc is not recognized SATA/RAID load driver and continue with the installation. Create the C partition and choose as location for the installation of the OS. I can't imagine that you will have some problems with it. On my machine, that it worked perfectly.

    When Win7 is completely installed, you begin with the installation of drivers, tools and utilities. Stuf all install them as follows:
    Windows 7 SP1 of Win7
    Chipset SW installation utility
    Intel Management Engine Interface
    Intel driver
    AMD display driver
    Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
    Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
    Intel USB3.0 driver
    IRSTCreator
    Alcor Micro Card Reader
    Technology of quick start Software Intel
    Conexant Audio driver
    SRS Premium Sound
    LAN driver
    Wireless LAN driver
    Filter driver package Realtek Bluetooth
    Intel Wireless Display
    Bluetooth monitor
    Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
    PatchFiles PCIIDEREG - 1.2
    PatchFiles TosVolRegulator_1.1

    I hope that everything will be OK.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - Realtek in Windows 7 sound card problem

    Hey guys!

    I have a laptop A300 1NO and trouble with realtek audio I installed Windows 7 (x 86, 32-bit) driver.
    When I had Vista, I had 3 options to define how I want to record sounds. There was a microphone, microphone on the front and a "third option" which recorded the voices directly from the map its (perhaps waveout) and not by the microphones.

    Now, I can not find the 'third option' (record sound directly from sound card) just two microphone options. I can see the devices deactivated and disconnected too, but it still does not show me the 'third option' :(

    The freshly installed Win7 recognized my sound card and I got sound on that but he wasn't any icon 'realtek' in the control panel to change the preferences, as in Control Panel of Vista. I uninstalled it from the Device Manager, after that I install 6.0.1.5559 version (I've used it with vista x 86, 32-bit) but still the same problem...

    I don't really know what to do...

    Hello

    To be honest that I understand really what you would expect from an OS that is not released or not on the market yet...

    It takes a few weeks or months more until the official drivers will be available for Windows 7. It s the same as on Vista and XP. After the liberation, most of the drivers have been released.

    You can try some beta drivers for Windows 7 from the Toshiba page we.
    But that's all you can do at the moment.

    As far as I know 8 to win is not officially on the market and currently, the kit upgrade Toshiba win 8 official is not available on the Toshiba site.

    Of course, you can install the 8 on this laptop, but you win will have to wait to win 8 pilots, however you can try some Win 7 drivers in many cases, they would be compatible with Win 8
