• Satellite A300 - cannot find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello!
  I'm of the Greece so I apologise for any errors of syntax, I can do.
  My girlfriend has the Satellite A300 PSAJ4E but his hard disk was destroyed, so I bought him a new (WD Scorpio Black 500 GB) and I downloaded the original Windows 7 MSDNAA to install on the laptop.
  The problem is that it doesn't have the drivers cd so I have to find them on the internet. The other problem is that on the Toshiba official support site it is not found the laptop or the drivers for it.
  So please help me find them. Or tell me if I can insert some of the other Toshiba laptop drivers to it.
  I am ready to format and everything and I don't have the drivers.
  Thank you!

  PS. I found this site but I don't know if it is normal to download them from this site and also, I don't know if I should because I will insert Windows 7 64 bit.

• Windows Update - it gets to the final stage of the update every time it goes to "Starting Windows" and then it all comes back to the update

  Original title: Windows Update keeps reseting

  My computer had a mandatory update that began when turned on. Happens to the last step of the update every time, it goes to the "starting Windows" and then it all comes back to the update. Turn on the computer and then next turn has not changed anything either, and I can't after that.

  Hi Reilly,

  Thank you for the update on that.

• Satellite A300 - installation of Windows XP

  I need help for my recovery. The model is a Toshiba Satellite A300. To retrieve and recover Vista's partition E.
  I do Windows XP in the C partition.

  When I install my back I can't
  When I install I get it back press kay F9 and it not install

  When I install Windows XP CD I closed my SATA
  I need now my SATA is good from my computer or not

  I'm frome Egypt and I'm so sorry about wrong everyone

  Hello

  To be honest your ad is a little difficult to understand

  What you mean by install get it back? You want to install now Windowsxp or the Toshiba Recovery disk?

  If you want to install Windows XP, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it in the Intel Storage Manager package.
  Here is a useful document of Toshiba on this subject:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  But before you install Windows Vista, you must create the Toshiba recovery disc. Then you can restore the factory settings (Vista) at all times. If you don t have the Toshiba disk recovery you can restore the factory settings with the folder HDDrecovery on the E partition. You have the Toshiba recovery disc!
  If you didn t that still run the Toshiba recovery disc Creator for this before installing Windows XP. It only takes a few minutes!

• Satellite A300 - no power light and won't turn on

  Hello:

  My satellite A300 fell off my office. It has been disconnected.
  A few hours later, I tried to turn it on, but does not work when I plug the ac cable lights that turn on normally.
  Ive opened to check if there is nothing broken, but it seems all good.
  What can I do?

  My battery is dead, so I can't do anything with it.

  on the virtual path that is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if there is no reaction and led DC is not on I assume that there is a problem with the power of electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  Visually, everything can be OK, but some connectors are probably damaged.
  Repair (Exchange motherboard) is quite expensive, so I think you should sell it on eBay and get any other machine.

  Satellite A300's beautiful machine, and you can get another A300 used on eBay for about 100-150 Euros.

• Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

  {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

  This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

  Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

  ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

  Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

  I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

  Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

  This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
  I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

  However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
  Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.

• Re: Satellite A300 cannot start, cannot use the factory recovery

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A300, which gave me problems in the past few weeks...

  I use Windows Vista

  There are about 2 months in the beginning of the laptop problem, it restarts itself automatically before enter in windows (while in the windows loading screen, no blue screen, screen just suddenly darkens and restarts itself), but it will get finally in windows successfully after a few loops

  but about 3 weeks ago, it just keeps looping and never get into windows, good news, it is that it can capture mode safe without problem

  I've done everything I can to try and save, as play with msconfig, drivers, removing the Rams etc, but not luck

  so, I save everything in safe mode and decided to restore the machine factory, but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!

  any idea? or y at - it another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop? is it a hardware problem or software?

  I thought about the creation of recovery disks but my cd drive is not working properly, and I don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...

  Thank you very much!

  >.. .i don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...
  That of right, but you must understand that it is not easy on this virtual path to offer an accurate explanation and diagnosis for your problem.

  It is not easy to tell whether it is hardware or software related issue. best way to test is installation of recovery image. Recovery image is tested and if there are no some portable hardware problem should work fine. How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  >.. .or is there another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop?
  Something like this is not possible. Windows that you use now needs to be reinstalled. I don't know why you the laptop restarts, but it's also the risk of recovery image installation. In case this recovery image installation will be interrupted, you will have two problems:
  -image of original recovery saved on your HARD drive will be unusable
  -you will not be able to start t

  In your situation the best is to minimize this risk and have original recovery DVD that can be used if something goes wrong.
  > but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!
  Can you please explain what is exactly happening? Is - this laptop is simply cut off / go to the coast and then reboot again or what?

  Hello

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Hello

  This process will allow you to do a Vista repair disc. This isn't an installation disc, but will allow you to use the Vista Recovery Console that is available on commercial versions of Vista.

  Download the file from the link below.

  Vista 64-bit

  It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip, when installed, right-click on the zipped folder, select extract files and then click Ok.  You should now see another folder containing the ISO file.

  You will need software to burn the ISO to a CD.  If you don't have that guy on the software installed, download and install ImgBurn and use it to burn the ISO to a CD.

  Once you have created the Vista repair disk, follow the guide on the link below to see if it undertakes to repair your installation - you may need to run this several times.

• Satellite A300 - cannot locate any wireless network

  Hi all

  I just bougth today a Satellite A300, everything works fine except the wireless access. Ethernet access works very well, and the problem is not with my wireless device since it works with my old laptop.

  It cannot locate any wireless network. It does not appear to be activated WLAN and I don't know how to enable it in the BIOS.

  The swicht wireles on the front of the laptop is turned ON, but not the function Fn + F8 appearing at all.

  Can anyone help please?

  What you mean with this WLAN is in the BIOS not enabled? Normally, you can change all BIOS options then try to activate it.
  Also make sure that the WLAN switch is on and active with FN + F8.

• Satellite A300 - cannot install the BT stack

  Hello evryone,

  I had a problem with the bt stack and the file "setupdiu.exe".

  When I try to install battery bt it tries automatically to uninstal the battery, the problem is I get the error:
  "The file Setupdiu.exe is not marked for installation.

  I looked everywhere, but the only solution given is: delete the folder "C:\Program Files Toshiba Stack.

  I got this deleted file, I got the hidden files and I tried to remove the map with CMD and all other means to delete something with her, but he tells me that the map does not exist.

  I deleted the folder bluetooth stack for windows by toshiba in my registry and restarted, this also does not work.

  I have Windows Vista Home premium (32 bit) and my laptop is a toshiba satellite A300-1OS.

  I tried the "Difficulty" of Toshiba, this installed bluetooth stack tool and I run, helped not a little.

  I really want to have this problem, because he bug on the other bluetooth software and connection.

  (Sorry for my bad English)

  I am grateful to anyone who can help,
  Live Justin

  I think the problem is, as you said, that the previous version was not properly removed. I would setup a tool such as
  "ccleaner" (free Internet) and clean your system registry and files. Maybe it works eventually. If not then your system in Mode safe start (press F8 during startup and check your system files again if some battery Bluetooth related files still exists and remove them if necessary)

• Satellite A300-1QD - start some time and memory errors won't test

  Hello

  I have some real problems with a brand new satellite A300 1QD.
  After update of Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (Service Pack2) Vista unbootable. After the reboot of forst, it showed a message:

  File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
  Status: 0xc0000221
  Info: the file is corupt possibaly. the header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

  AprΦs the dΘmarrage of the original CD Vista Home Premium or the Systembuilder OEM another error appeared:

  Error: 0xc000000f
  Missing or damaged \Windows\system32\winload.exe

  Does not even work by pressing F8 during startup. I have a chance to start even a repair because there is no option that I could choose.

  After a few resets the A300 seems to have some problems.
  A few times the display does not start, after the other it does not, start by hanging up during the automatic test etc.
  I have reset the BIOS by default Options, but it does not help.

  The A300 are one week. Am I allowed to remove a RAM bar without losing the warranty?
  I have read that sometimes it helps. I was able to do a memtest software vista. It is said that some hardware conflicts appeared.

  I am desprate, please help.

  EDIT:
  I did another test memory with linux 64 bit (openSUSE 11.1) and many erros occurred.
  What can I do now? The laptop is a present fpr my girlfriend Monday 15. Can I order other RAM and return that broke with a Numbor RMA or something?

  EDIT2:
  I recognized, that sometimes, when I start the laptop, the power led is the lightning to the top, but the satellite logo in the left corner remains dark.

  Oh, by the way, excuse my English, I hope that I can make myself clear enough that you can help me ^^

  I guess that you have solved this issue thank you for your comments mate!
