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.

  • Re: Satellite L300-1AP BSOD when installing Windows XP

    I have a new L300-1AP and would like to intall XP Pro but when I try it I get the stop message 0x0000007b.

    Made a new installation disc integrated with all updated sata drivers, I still get the message. I'm not sure about how I would install drivers of third party on the F6 function because it has not a diskette and cany to find how to do the same thing in a CD anywere.

    I appreciate that we should all try to use the vista OS that came with it, but it is a problem of compatibility with older software that I use.

    Can anyone help please?

    In the Microsoft Knowledge Base is an article about it:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3ben-us%3B324103&x=17&y=8

    I think that there is something wrong with the SATA drivers. My Satellite L300 works with XP without problems or BSOD when installing.

    The SATA drivers are in this package, and the Intel Storage Manager you can download on the Toshiba site.
    You can create your own installation with nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) disc.
    If I have integrated the SATA drivers, you do not have to press F6. The HARD drive will be automatically recognized.

  • 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.

  • Qosmio G30-176: BSOD when installing Windows Vista Edition full

    To restart the Qosmio stop with the blue screen of death and the "SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" message "STOP: 0x0000006f (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  • Tecra A2 - BSOD when installing Windows

    Hello

    I have a Tecra A2, I have not used for some time. I decided to start again and he gave me the blue screen of death just after loading Windows XP (before selecting your user profile). He continues to do so after I restarted several times, so I decided to reformat the computer.

    I have reformat the computer and Windows XP begins to resettle. After installing I go through all issues of installation such as name, country, time zone, recording etc.. After that's done, I get the blue screen of death again. I restart the computer and it tries to load Windows XP. Then he told me that "the system is not fully installed. Please run Setup again. "Then he gives me the blue screen of death.

    Rereformating laptop computer does exactly the same thing as the first time. So I tried to boot the computer with the recovery discs, and that did not help. He finished just gives me the blue screen of death.

    Can someone help me?

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. You should post the BSOD code because there are many of them. If you have the BSOD code, you can search in the Mircorosft Knowledge Base. Often you can find an article on this issue.

    In my view, it could be a HARD drive or RAM problem, but together you can check with special tools. Use Memtest86 for RAM and the aptitude Test drive to the HARD drive. The tools that you can find with Google.

  • Satellite L510 - BSOD when you try to install Windows XP SP2

    I have a Satellite L510 purcahsed with Vista home premium, but when I try to install XP Professional it screens just as it tries to start windows and blue right after the installation of the part of pilots to the beginin.

    Anyone has an idea why this would happen?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I m a bit confused now... When you get exactly the BSOD? After complete installation of Windows or after that?
    By the way: BSOD code what you get exactly?

    I often read on codes of BSOD when installing XP so I guess that you didn't use the correct driver SATA. You need the Storage Manager to properly install Windows and you can find this driver on the Toshiba site.

    By the way: you can also use the forum search to find similar topics.

    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.

  • Satellite A300 - restarts when I plug it into a power outlet

    Hi guys this seems to be the place to ask this question,
    My laptop is Satellite A300

    When I connect the adapter it restarts all of a sudden, if I stay on the battery, it is fine if I am running Windows and plug power will be locked up and restart. It starts so that plugged either, unless it is in safe mode. With the power of the battery (with power adapter) machine works without any problem.

    The problem (reboot) occurs when I connect to the AC adapter. I have change the power supply and tested. Remove the battery and tested. In addition, reformat and reinstall Vista and BIOS update.

    But the problem is still there, please can someone help me?

    Thank you!

    Hi icebunny,.

    Do you use an original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or a 3rd party one? This would explain why the computer restarts. Probably he doesn't use the correct specifications for voltage or intensity thus restarting the laptop.
    Did you check the characteristics of the AC/DC adapter? The lower side of your laptop, you can check which adapter AC/DC (e.g. 19V 4, 3 a) is necessary.

    Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off?

    At the moment I think that it s mainboard malfunction and that would mean that he must replace :(

  • BSoD when installing driver display on Satellite P200D - 11 L

    I just installed Windows 7 and everything works fine but I decided to install the drivers of Toshiba and when I was installing the display driver (for ATI mobility radeon HD 2600) I've got the so-called 'Blue screen of death '. Then every time that windows starts, he gets the same blue screen. Windows start repair corrected this by using the system restore.
    I think that windows 7 installed a different driver and they interfere with each other. The other driver works fine for now.

    I also tried to uninstall everything first, but then would not even to begin the installation.
    So, what should I do? I think it's fine, but I want to ask someone with more experience first.

    Hello

    Please see the Knowledge Base Microsoft for all BSOD codes:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324103

    In any case, this means that you have integrated a bad driver AHCI or you don t use a.
    The point is before installing Windows XP, you need the right driver AHCI because otherwise you will get a BSOD or your HARD drive will not be recognized.
    On laptops equipped with Intel chipset, you need the Intel Storage Manager driver package because it contains the correct driver for you. You can download it on the Toshiba site or the Intel Web site.

    The drivers, you can copy on an external floppy drive and then you load it after booting from the XP disc by pressing F6. Or you create a new installation with our own drivers disc, and then you don't need an external floppy drive. For this, you can use nLite.

    Finally and most importantly, I think that this Toshiba link might be useful for you:
