  AFAIK this chipset provides only the 2 GB support

  The BIOS recognize the drive? Check in the BIOS.

  You can start in safe mode?

• Satellite A300 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hi all
  I just bought a new Satellite A300 laptop, preloaded with VISTA with XP Downgrade option.

  I finished the VISTA (Setup) and the recovery of the DVD. Now, I really want to downgrade to Windows XP, using the supplied with the Toshiba laptop recovery CD, but the instructions are vague.
  I tried F12 at startup and select CD/DVD as the boot, but it seems to hang on the black screen.

  There are files on the disc (3.2 GB) I covered it on another PC. I also tried the option of recovering your system start-up (F8), but it does not determine that the drive is a recovery / disk backup. I don't want to just run right XP installation of my copy of license of Volume for obvious reasons.

  Does anyone have information / procedure on how to switch using the Toshiba provided CD?

  Any help gratefully received.
  With our thanks,
  Stu.

  Hello!

  You hear that the drive reads the disc XP if you boot from it? What is the computer hangs on empty screen or if you get an error message?

  You can boot from another drive? Maybe the downgrade does not work properly or it s a problem with CD/DVD player. Check it!

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

  Good bye

• Can I put a Satellite A300-15 b Vista 64-bit?

  Hello

  I think to buy a satellite A300-15B, which sounds like a great machine for the price, but when I asked at the store if I can run Vista 64-bit, they told me that I can't do.

  What is the point of having 4 GB RAM (8 GB disposable?) then?

  Please can someone confirm if I have the opportunity to opt or not? (Living in the United Kingdom)

  Thank you

  Have you checked page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com drivers download 64-bit Vista and the availability of tools on Toshiba?

  Check if the drivers are available for this model of laptop PSAJ4E.

  > What is the point of having 4 GB RAM
  Good question for Microsoft. ;)

  By the way: is 4 GB maximum RAM capacity for this model of laptop.

• How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

  A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu...

• Satellite A300-1BZ with Vista - Port Com disappeared

  Hello world.

  My first time and I'm a bit of a dunce with technical stuff, so please be gentle with me!

  A300-1BZ with Vista.

  Some time ago I installed "CarSoft V.83" (diagnosis engine) of CD on my laptop. He asked me to check the com port.
  I looked in Device Manager and in the list that I saw "port com 4". OK, we'll go with that then. Everything worked well and I was luckily away talking to my car.

  Yesterday I went to use it for the second time and he says there is an error with the com port and 'check' the com-port.
  So, I got the Device Manager to the top and there is no mention of any com ports in the list! It is the last time I looked, and now he's disappeared!

  I was at a loss what to do, I uninstalled the CarSoft, then re-intsalled once again. Received the same error message.
  Went to Device Manager. Still no com port 4 from the list, or anything that pertains to a com-port.

  I don't know how or if I can get it back.

  Help, please!

  Hi mate

  First of all there is no COM port. The com port that you could see in the Device Manager has been a virtual port created by the software of the car.

  What to say
  I recommend to remove the software of the car of the first installation.
  Then download the CCleaner and clean registry and system entries.
  Restart the computer, and then rerun the CCleaner
  After that, install the software in the car again

  Maybe it helps

• Satellite A300 - 1 c: Vista freezes sometimes

• Satellite A300 - question about Vista license key

  Hi all,

  I bought an A300-149 with preinstalled Vista.
  One of my friends told me, the partition that was used to install Vista is not useful, it consumes space from my HARD drive, so I deleted the partition and rearranged the partitions that I was going to use them.

  I just found out it's a big mistake to do that, because the contained all partition drivers and Vista with the license key.
  I'm losing my windows license, if I eventually have to reinstall it? (I have the label on the underside of the computer with the key...)
  I can not download the content of this partition (in the form of an ISO standard) somewhere in this site? (and use the key to the label, as it is usually done with the software)

  I paid for this OS... so I don't understand why I have not received a DVD with the software? (When I opened the box, I was looking for the DVD and I wandered why he is missing...)
  It's frustrating...

  Waiting for your answers,
  Thank you

  Hello

  It's really stupid situation now, but certainly not frustrating.
  Here a few facts to better understand:

  New Toshiba laptops are delivered without recovery DVD and images of recovery is recorded on the second partition. All of us must create own recovery media. To do this, this Toshiba has designed little tool called creator of Toshiba recovery disc. With this tool, you can create recovery recovery CD and DVD. When you have these media you can do with the data you want. To install Vista over these media must be used.

  So many people may forget or simply ignore it. Because of this Toshiba has designed reminder with the trace message:

  Because of this, Toshiba has designed little reminder that will be shown in short time after first start with track contents:

  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair *.
  * your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
  * and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to *.
  * ensure hat you are able to restore your computer to the factory installed state, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  I can't imagine you didn t see.
  In any case, your friend probably has no idea how it works, and now you have a problem.
  To be honest you have no problem, but the additional costs. You can order the following original Toshiba disk link given by Akuma, but you must pay for it.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A300: Move from Vista to Win 7 OS - Upgarde isue

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite A 300 series laptop PC with Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
  I want to swith over to Win7.

  My question:

  (1) if I format 'C' and install Win7 fresh, will I be able to use the recovery disk (stored on 'E') option to boot - recovery option F8 - repair - HDD to swith back to original Vista at any time?

  (2) how to ensure that all drivers in particular for all software from toshiba as "Disc Creator", "WLAN", "BT", 'Recovery disc creator', 'Toshiba DVD Utilities', "System Diagnostics" will be mounted like new?

  Thanks in advance.

  Dimitri

  > 1) if I format 'C' and install Win7 fresh, will be that I can use the recovery disk (stored on 'E') option to boot - recovery option F8 - repair - HDD to swith back to original Vista at any time?

  No, if you install Windows 7 on the C partition would have replaced the old Vista Boot Manager and disk for Vista recovery option will not be available.

  (> 2) how to ensure that all drivers in particular for all software from Toshiba as "Disc Creator", "WLAN", "BT", 'Recovery disc creator', 'Toshiba DVD Utilities', 'System Diagnostics' will be installed as new?

  Well, if you install Windows 7 and then the tools mentioned as Recovery Disc Creator or commercial DVD Toshiba could not be used because these done software part if the image only Toshiba! So if you are using Windows 7, you can buy such tools.
  All other drivers can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

• Satellite A300 - after reinstalling Vista touchpad and FN doesn't

  Hello

  I reinstalled Vista Home Premium (before removing the old, I saved "Toshiba" folder with the drivers) and now the touchpad does not work + FN key does not work.

  Should which driver I install and where?
  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Normally it is not necessary to install a driver for the touchpad because s he s always activated, but you can do this also with FN + F9.

  However, you should try to install the Toshiba Value added package. This is necessary for the FN keys and on the Toshiba site, you can also find the touchpad driver. Check it!

• TOSHIBA Power Saver on Satellite A300 PSAGCE with Vista OS

  I just bought my new satelitte, but now I see that the best tool of the old line of Satelite is missing!
  ENERGY SAVING! I am running vista at the moment, but power saver is not what it seems!
  I was wondering if it's true, or it just nog is there in my language!

  If there isn't, I would suggest Toshiba, bring it back, but it is a most useful tool, mutch better then one that is standard on windows vista!
  If anyone has a solution, I would be happy to hear from you of course!

  PS I tried to install the version of windows XP witch that I downloaded from the Toshiba site, but it does not work on Vista of course!

  Hello

  Energy saver is installed under Vista too, and you can find it under:
  Start Options system & maintenance Power Control Panel > select a settings change plan Plan to modify the power Toshiba Power Saver advanced settings V.xxx settings

  As you can see that the parameters are not like before as Windows XP Home edition. The fact is that most of the settings is now controlled by Vista and Toshiba power saver has no great influence in the settings of power as before.
