You use the last Ubuntu?

Try setting the SATA Mode to compatibility (located in the BIOS, press F2 at the Toshiba logo after power up).

    PS. would it not under warranty

    > I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer
    This means that you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Have you created a Toshiba recovery disc at the beginning?

    I think that if you didn't use the recovery disc, then the question refers to the missing part of the driver or software

    But Satellite A300-08WB is not known to me what model number of the laptop is it?

    What do you think? I think the case is clear if the error occurs on (Windows and Linux). That's why it of necessary to exchange the motherboard or the touchpad.

    Your laptop must be checked to an authorized service provider. Technicians can determine what is the reason and order all spare parts, they are necessary. Moreover, the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP.

    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 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

    Hello and good day,

    I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

    My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

    Thank you very much
    King Ben Simon

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

    Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

    Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Added Vista tips:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

    Hello.

    I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-149.
    On this system operational Windows Vista has been implemented.
    To use HotKey to include Wi - Fi or Bluetooth. FN + F8 keys. It was displayed in the upper part of the screen in a revealing beautiful graphic menu.

    Now, I had to put Windows XP. I want to use the shortcut key and the menu in the middle of the screen.
    Are these features already in Windows XP, or do not have the driver. This driver is required to put on it?

    Hello

    The beautiful graphic that is displayed with the FN keys belongs to the Toshiba Vista FlashCard utility!
    According to the name it s a tool Vista and can be used _ONLY_ on Vista OS.

    Windows XP supports the functionality of the FN button too.
    Everything is the same, but the icons and the graph that is displayed using one of the FN function is different.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG4A: Webcam not detected in Device Manager

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4A 02L00M with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
    The webcam is not working and it is not detected in Device Manager.
    When I install the Chicony camera drivers, I get the "Webcam driver open fail. Error message.

    The fact that I can't see the Webcam in Device Manager tells me that there may be a hardware failure.
    However, I hope that this is a setting that I can fix myself.

    I had restored the laptop to factory also and I've updated the bios.
    I tried to uninstall all the USB controllers and reboot the PC.

    Is there something I can do?
    It's maybe a software problem?
    There may be a setting?

    Best way to test the operation of the equipment is to check with the factory settings installation operating system with the Toshiba recovery image. As I see that you have done this already.

    So if cam still doesn't work properly, I fear that there is a problem with the hardware.
    It cannot be matter of software because the recovery image contains the driver for the cam.
