• Satellite A300 screen keeps jumping up down

  Hello

  What is on my screen continues to jump up and down, ideas, is it a problem with the video card in Satellite A300?

  What part of the screen do you mean exactly?

  Do you mean the mouse cursor or the entire screen?

  I m not very well that this could cause this problem but maybe that there s a problem driver so the first step, you should try to update the display/graphic driver.

  In addition, you can check if the same question would be visible on the external monitor.

• Problem installing XP on Satellite A300 - driver SATA is an .exe file

  Hi all

  Can someone help me? I have read the post "how to install Windows XP Home on Satellite A300? Posted the: June 26, 2008 22:40 "but, when I put the storage (XP) drivers in the Windows XP installation CD (driver is a .exe) and restart the computer, the installation CD does not recognize the SATA drive...".

  What can I do?

  Thank you

  It could be a driver compatibility problem, but also missing some other patches or missing SP2 MS could cause this BSOD.
  So please make sure that you Win XP CD contains SP2 too.
  As suggested try to start in safe mode and reinstall the drivers created for your notebook from the series.

• Satellite A300-15B - 300 SATA-Compatible?

  Hi all
  I only run Kubuntu (64 bit) for the moment on my machine, but I would add an extra internal hard drive, so to reinstall Vista.

  My questions are:
  1. If there is no problem with the extra hard drive, (the beach is empty then why not add a few outside more GB of storage?)?
  2. I found that good part of WD 500 GB but it's sata 300 so I'm not sure if my motherboard can afford it.

  If the above is fine, something extra, off-topic will be if I can still use my windows activation key.

  Many thanks in advance,
  Nikos

  Hey,.

  It s absolutely no problem adding a second HDD. As you already wrote, why not add a few more ;) GB

  General rule, SATA 300 (> SATA2) hard drives are not a problem. As far as I know Satellite A300 already supports SATA2 and if not all SATA2 hard drives is compatible downgrade SATA1 interface. So each SATA HDD work on each controller SATA, no compatibility issues don't.

  If you install Toshiba Recovery disk Windows, no activation or product key is required.

• 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

  Hello

  As much as I know the laptop does not support (hardware) RAID
  You won't find anything in the BIOS.

  But a software raid was possible;
  For this you need a RAID tool.

  Hello

  You simply take a look in the manual of the user that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  On my laptop, the operating manual has been preloaded with too, and I could find all the necessary information concerning the upgrade of RAM.

  The manual says you can use PC2-5300 modules if the A300 would support the RS690M/PM965/GM965 chipsets. But if the laptop is equipped with Intel GL960 chipset, so you can only use the PC2-4200 modules.

  Using the Intel GL960 chipset you can extend the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB RAM)

  See you soon
