Satellite A300 - upgrade to Windows 7

Hello, I have Windows 7, but before I upgraded, I was wondering what exactly to do with drivers etc. I was going to do a clean install, but I don't have driver with the portable disks, so I was wondering how exactly I was going to install the new.

I know there are a few on the site but I was not sure of those who I need download and thought it would be the best place to ask. Thanks for any help that can be given.

Hello Joe

I also prefer the new installation of operating system more update/upgrade at installation level.
In the history, I see a problem only. Don t install Win7 start Toshiba Win7 support on Toshiba s. be sure support page that all Win7 drivers are available and ready for download.
Did you already check Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page?

I assume that you got your laptop pre-installed with Vista and without recovery DVDs. That means, before anything create recovery DVDs with preinstalled Vista 'Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator'. This DVD can be used if one day want to install Vista and have once again the factory settings.

  • Satellite A300-1RZ - stucks Windows 7 upgrade on the first step of the installation

    Hi all

    I'm Italian, I an A300 Satellite with Vista Home Premium I paid 30 euros for the free upgrade to Windows 7, which reached my House yesterday. I got 2 DVD:
    -1 to 'prepare' my phone: * TOSHIBA UPGRADE DVD *.
    -1 upgrade operating system: * WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM UPGRADE DVD *.

    + The first step: + use the first DVD: all right, "the system is ready to install Windows 7, insert the second dvd. When I insert the other, I accept the license and after that, the first step of the installation: * "check system compatibility."
    * These steps is my problem.*

    I reworded more than 10 times the praxis but it blocks at this stage, I left the laptop at this stage, throughout the night, but today morning she was always there, no progress, it is clear that there is a problem, but I do not understand if it depends on my cell phone or on the DVD.

    I tried to boot the laptop with Windows 7 DVD inside, start the system by the DVD, but it ask me to format the partition where are the files of vista and is not an upgrade. I bought an upgrade just do not remove previous programs and do not format the first partition of the drive of my laptop.

    How do, which can, I turn to?
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Does anyone know to escape?

    I have a toshiba satellite l300-1dn notebook running vista premium.
    Upgrade to windows 7, I'm worried about losing part of the toshiba programs installed on my pc.
    I wanted to do a clean install on a new drive, but do not want to lose the toshiba dvd creator and dvd ulead movie factory, which came installed as standard.

    I want to know if I lose these two programs, if I do a upgrade and clean installation
    And if I do, is there anywhere I can download these programs in safe or better yet a way to save training I use now to reinstall them later after the new installation.

  • Satellite A300-1CO - missing Windows XP Drivers

    Hello

    Have a seller assured me that the Satellite A300-1CO (PSAJ4E) is fully compatible with windows XP, I just bought a.

    After a few hours of the depth of evil, I managed to install Win XP SP3 and get almost all the components under it.

    I have just 2 missing... Ethernet and a mass storage device (I think that its the card reader).

    Howerver, I had installed the following drivers:

    Card reader controller - O2Micro
    Driver LAN - Marvell

    Two components should not work properly?

    And Daniel "controls - Toshiba" for windows ON THAT XP won't install win XP?

    Another question... There are components that have more of a driver more... which ones should I choose? The most recent?

    Best regards.

    Pedro

    The Ethernet device could be LAN wireless, and mass storage could be the Intel Matrix Storage Manager or Intel Chipset. You have installed these drivers?

    Also install common modules, if it is available for this model.

  • Satellite L650 - upgrade from Windows 7 Home Professional

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L650 - 15G with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. Due to some limitations of this OS, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 professional since I am in Dubai, WAU is not available for me. I called Microsoft and they said I have to get through retailers.

    My query is, is it all Toshiba support available in the UNITED Arab Emirates, to upgrade the operating system? Toshiba allow the upgrade through the channel of the where I bought my laptop?

    Microsoft is not good!

    Hello

    As much as I know there no support for Toshiba to upgrade the operating system. Only the preinstalled OS will be supported, and some models are available with different versions of Windows.

    In any case, I think that Microsoft is right and you will need to purchase a Windows 7 upgrade disk. Using this disk, you can start the upgrade. This should be possible without new installation so that all programs and data will not be erased.

    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 A200 - upgrade to Windows 7 - DVD Player problems weird!

    Hello

    I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 rather than replace my A200, which is always good as new after 3 1/2 years...

    In typical MS fashion, the upgrade was not incident free, but the main problem is that my DVD drive will no longer read my 2007 Microsoft Office installation disc.

    I CAN read the disc I've burned before the upgrade (with files/photos matching on etc.)

    Someone at - it ideas? Tried to update the driver and by stopping the service Detection hardware kernel (such as recommended on a forum of MS), but no luck

    Thanks in advance!

    > main problem is that my DVD drive will no longer read my 2007 Microsoft Office installation disc.
    A friend of mine had the same problem with the disc of MS Office.
    It was not possible to read this disc, but other drives were compatible.
    He cleaned the drive laser lens with a hint of alcohol and cotton wool, and it helped.

  • Satellite A300: upgrading the graphics card question

    HI :)

    I am a new user of portable computers...
    Like nvidia geforce graphics cards can be installed in my Sat A300? extent to which max mem I can install?

    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded.
    In most cases (with the exception of the MXM module) the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and I don t think you could remove it.
    But even if you were able to remove the chip, you won't find any GPU that would be compatible with laptops card mother and BIOS.

    So in my opinion don't forget this upgrade
