• Satellite A300 - and Vista recovery Question

  I bought a Satellite A300 a few days previously, it automatically installed Vista without CD when I opened it.
  Is it joint to come with a vista CD/DVD or I need to burn a Toshiba Recovery disk?

  Pkozerski is right. Toshiba offers no support for recovery with new laptop models and this media must be created using the preinstalled recovery Toshiba creator tool.

  To do this I advise you to use high quality in DVD-R format media. My favorite is TDK or Verbatim.
  If you change anything in the future on your laptop, you'll be able to find your laptop using recovery image stored on the second partition.

  If you need instructions specific to how make it please let me know.

• Satellite A300 - Win Vista instalation disk missing

  Hello world.

  This is my first time on any forum ever :)

  In August 2008, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 149. There was a lot of turbulence in our relationship, but we always went by them so far.

  Some time ago I added an additional hard drive just for the system. I did it just to have all important data in the entity. This extra drive decided to die.

  The problem is that there is no more the oryginal disc recovery so I have a laptop, hard drive and the product key for windows, but no instalation windows disk or at least file.

  Can you please help me and tell what should I do now because I can't undo what I've done already :)

  Hello

  Your A300 was delivered with the operating system from Vista preinstalled (recovery image). This recovery image is saved on the HARD disk. Operating manuals s described document that each owner of the laptop must create the installation of recovery disk using pre-installed recovery media creator tool.

  If I understand you right you didn't he create if it is your only error.
  What can you do now?
  You have two options:
  1 / you can order the original recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  2 / you can install own OS version

  I have too many A300 and for three years I use it with Windows 7 32 bit. It works perfectly and much better than original Vista.

  In any case, you do need to make the decision. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300-1JH - Vista can run mode "compatibility"?

  Hello!

  I searched this forum to see if my problem has been already asked and answered, but I couldn't find any relevant information, so here it is:

  I have a Satellite A300-1JH (short name PSAGLE) and so far I've used with XP SP3 and everything worked perfectly. But now I installed Vista 64 bit and there are many features that does not work, because there are VERY few drivers available for the 64-bit version of Vista.

  The problems that I hate the most are: turn on/off the touchpad and making multimedia buttons don't work (they are turned on - I changed the setting of the del in the BIOS, however they do nothing).
  And another question: to install XP, I changed the hard drive in the BIOS of the AHCI (or *-something) to "compatibility and now I forgot and installed Vista on the compatible mode.»

  When I tried to change Vista in AHCI (or other) no longer works. What is the difference between the compatible mode and A mode * and has a negative influence on my computer if I use it in compatibility mode?

  I hope that you will answer :).
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Vista need to AHCI mode and there is nothing you can do about it. In addition, you cannot change.
  So, put it in the BIOS and reinstall Vista.
  I know you won't, but Vista must be installed again. I'm sorry.

• Satellite A300 - 16L - Vista will not repair

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite A300 - 16L. And it must recover Vista.
  But he'll do.
  I tried the F8 key during startup, but that foesnot give me the recovery menu.
  I tried the solution key 0. But this does not work either.

  It remains startsup windows in a recovery status. And ends with a message (in Dutch): "Kan geinstalleerde niet het programma starten. Klik op OK als u wilt uitschakelen computer.

  I do however can start with a knoppix cd and see the entire disk. And I could save almost all the data.

  Can someone help here?

  eyes of Jan

  You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
  If Yes use this support to reinstall the original Vista recovery image.
  Is preinstalled original Toshiba Vista or your own installation?

  By the way: I have the same machine and I use Win7 32 bit. It works perfectly on the A300.

  Hello

  Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
  The Sat A300-1GN belongs to the PSAGCE series.
  I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there are two pilots;
  I think that you should choose the ATI driver 8.477 display because this driver supports the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips.

  Other base system devices could be Bridge Media slot (for SD cards), touchpad, HDMI Control Manager.

  I didn't find these drivers 64-bit on Toshiba page. Maybe you should choose some drivers for Vista 32 bit

• 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

• Satellite A300 - Windows Vista restarts on shutdown

  I just have to drive HARD on Satellite A300, Vista recovery and it gives me problems when I try to close it, it just restarts. It doesn't matter if it is on battery or plugged in. I have the point on the BIOS, did you install in power options, but still the same problem. I have the card WiFi and non-functional network, if anyone thinks that maybe that's the problem. All entries are welcome.
  Thank you

  Hi dadtheman,

  Did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager? Check for exclamation marks Device Manager yellow and if there are some unknown devices.

  Also try to disable wake up on LAN and keyboard as Akuma has suggested.

• Problem with Satellite A300 and Vista 64 bit

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1CO model: PSAJ4E-03R015PT, which came with an impressive 4 GB of ram device.
  I knew with Vista 32-bit, only 3 GB would be available, but since I got a license of Vista 64 bit I care, came home and installed it.
  When I looked up the drivers on the toshiba site, no drivers for Vista 64 bit drivers were available!
  I have now 4 GB or RAM available and I also have problems with face recognition software, microfone, sound card, card reader and a few other things.

  I searched the websites manufactors drivers and I managed to get some of these things barely usable, I don't think that it is a SD solution.
  Other laptop brands are made available long drivers for vista 64 bit some of them even for XP 64 bit!

  I would like to know how long take to Toshiba do official drivers available for vista 64 bit on their Web site.

  Best regards, Pedro P.

  I was looking for 64-bit drivers for my laptop, but since this is a new model, the drivers were not yet available. I checked a few weeks later and they were no longer available.

  Just wait awhile, they should be available soon.

• Satellite A300 - 1HP Vista x 64 drivers

  Hello

  Since 2 days I have Vista Ultimate x 64 on my Satellite A300-1HP and I have several problems.
  First of all, I badly need some drivers. And to be exact I need drivers for

  -Sound card
  -Modem
  -O2Micro SD storage device
  -J' I need the Toshiba Value Package too

  If anyone can help me please do!
  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards

  Atanas

  Your Satellite A300 belongs to the series of PSAJ4E and the Toshiba site for this model are not 64-bit drivers available.

  I think you must search on external Web sites for the drivers and try to download and install the VAP from another model of laptop.

  As far as I know the sound driver and modem, you can get on this site:

• Satellite A300-1J1 - Vista does not start, a lot of corrupted files

  My PC (toshiba satellite A300 1J1) suffered some random freezes for the past month. A few days ago it froze so I restarted and it could not start. He got as far as the scrolling green bar under the name of microsoft and then progress any more. I tried to start it in all different modes but without prevail. I tried to do a system restore, but it can't find any restore point, or all the files to reset to factory specifications.

  The hard drive works as I could locate all my files via the command prompt. When I run the check disk tool it says many files are unreadable, so I want to reset the PC but can't due to lack of points on each side of the partioned reset disk.

  My PC came with no recovery disk and I fear that in the past, I accidentally deleted file recovery on the HARD drive. What can I do? will be Toshiba sent me disks so I ask them or I have to wipe the drive and buy windows 7 as a last resort?

  > will be Toshiba sent me disks so I ask them or I have to wipe the drive and buy windows 7 as a last resort?

  No, dude, it won't send you free and you must order for money https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx you can also install Win copy yourself if you get the windows disk.

• Satellite A300 - 1 L 0 - display compatibility question

  Hello!

  One of my friends got a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 L 0 Notebook with broken screen.
  On Ebay that he was lucky to get a laptop Toshiba A300-1HP, which is optically identical to his book and regarding the roadmap Toshiba product has almost the same technique except the Core 2 duo model, ATI HD 3xxx model specifications and the size of HARD drive, as far as I can tell. The screen has the same features on the product sheet.

  More on ebay, there are "universal" sold screens for satellite A300 - meaning if you type "Satellite A300 Display" didn't it specify which A300 model you have.

  What you mean?
  Are the poster at least "Pin Compatible" or why it has an engineer / engineer use a different layout of the pins on the same box for laptop?
  The A300 has more motherboards even?

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  I guess that all screens for a Satellite A300 series should be compatible with the unique Satellite A300 model.
  All laptops Satellite A300 was equipped with a TFT 15,4 "billboard and it is the most important fact. You must use this display TFT 15,4 "Panel.

  The resolution may be different and will not affect the display compatibility because the graphics card is able to support different resolutions.

• Is impossible to recover the Satellite A300-1QD (VISTA)

  Hey I have a problem.

  I tried to restore my Toshiba Satellite A300-1QD parameters by pressing the F8 key.
  I followed every step correcrtly, but when it came to 99% the computer was off all of a sudden.

  I don't know why, but maybe the computer got overheated or something, but I've had enough battery life.
  Then I tried to turn it on again and it is said there may have been some damage and he said I should put a "a CD to install Windows" as a first step, step says that I should choose a language, and step 3 says I should click on REPAIR.
  HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO OTHER OPTIONS.

  Then he said: if I do not have the CD, I must contact the producer.
  As I remember, I do not have any what CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.
  All I have is a yellow mini CD that says DISK of DRIVER on it.

  Is anyone of you know if a recovery CD is shipped with Toshiba Satellite A300?
  And no one knows what I have to do because I think I don't have it?

  Thanks in advance.

  > I can remember, I don't have any CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.
  > All I have is a yellow mini CD that says DISK of DRIVER on it.

  You didn t get the recovery disk because there was an option to create the recovery disk clean you had to read the user manual
  The preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator can create a recovery disk
  Now it s too late you are not able to boot the system

  In this case, you must order the recovery disk;
  Here you can do;
