• Satellite A300-1PH - why I have to enter a password in the BIOS?

  Hi all, how were u.

  It's been 2 months since I bought the laptop Satellite A300-1PH. yesterday, the first time I tried to see my system BIOS by pressing F2, but it took entry in the BIOS password but I never put the password that I am very first open.

  Can someone tell me what is the exact problem?

  Hello!

  Like Akuma said maybe the store you bought has defined a password
  Or it's a laptop second hand the owner then has set a password and I forgot to remove it

  However, a BIOS password can be removed from an authorized service provider. I'm sure they can help you.

• Satellite A300-1PH and default supervisor password

  I have a laptop that I bought only last week.
  When I press F2 when the system starts, it ask for password.
  Does anyone know the default password for the Satellite A300-1PH model?

  Laptop Toshiba computers are not locked by any type of password and history is somewhat strange.
  Perhaps you should clarify this with your local dealer.
  Purchased laptop, which was in the showroom?

  Has anyone access your laptop?

• Re: Satellite A300-1 b 9 - cannot install updates for Vista and IE8

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 1 9 b I bought 9 months ago. It has Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1. I have serious problems with the updates:

  1 Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 86 - I can't install this for the last two months. Whenever it appears that the installation has failed.

  2 security Update for Windows Vista (KB961501) can be installed as well

  3. my Internet Explorer 8 does not work for the past two weeks. I tried to download it and when I did, then, my computer does not restart. I had to use sans-echec Mode, uninstall IE8 to return to Normal Mode

  4. I also tried to download and install SP2 for Vista, but it failed.

  I am very worried. Please suggest me what I should do.

  Thanks for your help.

  I think that the decision of the antivirus program is a personal opinion

  I put t like McAfee and Norton because they need a lot of system resources and do a slower computer.
  I prefer AntiVir and Kaspersky Security suite. The two programs have good scan engine and don t need a lot of system resources. They are easy to use to use it.
  AntiVir is free but it s just an antivirus. Kaspersky Security suite also contains a firewall, antispam filter and more.

  It s your choice what program you are using. ;)

• Satellite A60 - lack of drivers after installing WXP Pro

  I installed XP Pro instead of XP home with the PC.
  I can't upgrade because of the other language.
  I downloaded all the drivers of your site, but after insttallation I still have a problem with the FireWire (lack of driver).
  Then I also checked that the drivers of toshiba sure power are missing too.
  What can I do?
  Best regards

  Hello

  on the driver download site, you can download the installation instructions. Follow this order of installation. Toshiba Power Saver utility can be downloaded from the pilot site, too.

  You can also use your CD tools & utilities. There you can find all the programs and drivers for XP. Doesn't matter if it's home or teacher, the drivers are the same. But maybe some drivers from the download site are updated to a newer version.

• Satellite A300-1lT - I want to restore Vista with recovery option

  Hello world

  With my Toshiba nothing but problems. First of all, I waited replacement screen for months cause it wasn t all at the warehouse. K, after that I went down to XP but pilot are buggy, sound is poor, cannot get USB 2.0 to work, the system is slower that Vista so I decided to go back to Vista.

  But of course, there is no DVD so I need to restore via the restoration of HARD drive folder that I have. But cool, Toshiba doesn't let me to download the utility to create a backup DVD. So what can I do? I have HDD Recovery folder, how now create DVDs without utility that first of all they gave me.

  PS.
  You can say s not Toshiba fault; you did that blah blah. Of course, but first I waited replacement screen, I have original Vista DVD by wasn t given, I can't even download Toshiba utility. What sad piece of equipment. I have the experience, my first OS installed was BACK and Win95, many OS installation, after that, but I install back my OS in 2009 would not be hoping that its going to happen.

  All the ideas you good ppl

  Sorry mate, but in this case you need a new recovery disk. The HDD Recovery folder is not useful to you because you do not have Windows Vista and as you already know that the Toshiba recovery disc creator cannot be downloaded.

  You must order a new disc of a Toshiba authorized service provider directly:
  [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

  To be honest, this is not a problem of Toshiba. If you start the laptop for the first time, you get the following message and should not be ignored:

  + Important INFORMATION +.

• Satellite A300 - need driver SATA to install Windows XP

  I changed my OS winXP SP3.

  After reading a lot of posts, I finally installed my new operating system but with SATA compatibility mode. I tried to change again in AHCI mode, but every time I tried Windows hangs at loading. I also tried to install Storage Manager after installation of the OS, but it fails. So I decided to change the XP disk, including the SATA driver, but after downloading all the drivers on my computer I can't find the SATA driver.

  Can someone tell me where is the .inf file?

  Thank you to

  Hello

  Firstly it is not possible to change the compatibility mode to AHCI after installing Windows. You can only do before installing XP, otherwise you get a BSOD.

  However, if you have downloaded the Storage Manager you must extract the files from the .exe file. Open a command line and type the following command:
  ' - A - a - PC:------'

  After that, you can copy the inf for external floppy drive files or integrate it into the new XP installation disc.

• Satellite A300-274 - I want to increase the RAM on the video card

  I would like to increase the capacity of my video card.
  I have a toshiba A300-274 co 4 GB of ram.

  Hello

  Your laptop uses 4 GB of RAM?
  Well, usually the graphics card chip supports memory video dedicated and shared system memory.
  The sum of dedicated video memory and shared system memory is the total video memory.
  The shared system memory depends on main memory.
  In your case it s 4 GB of RAM.

  The laptop seems to supports 4 GB RAM max and this means that the shared system memory can not be higher it s already on the highest level.

  In addition, you should know that you cannot assign all values manually everything runs automatically and is controlled by the graphics driver.

  Thanks for all replies.

  Hello

  Yes, you can install Win XP on this laptop with Vista BIOS.
  It might be possible that some features of the laptop do not work with Vista BIOS and therefore you could update the BIOS to the version of Win XP (if available) after Windows XP has been installed.
