Satellite A300D - 14 p Windows Vista OTB for Windows XP

Satellite A300D - 14 p Windows Vista OTB for Windows XP?
Is it possible to install Windows XP on the satellite with no complications (bad drivers and other things). I hate Vista!
I heard that some laptops require modding some files .ini to install Xp on vista.

If you want to install Win XP on this laptop and want to use this OS instead of vista, then you should check out some threads here in the forum.

There are several discussions on the installation of Win XP.

Just a comment:
The Satellite A300D - 14 p belongs to the series of PSAK8E and all the XP drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.

  • Satellite A300D with 64-bit Vista - drivers for Conexant High Definition

    Hello

    I got Satalite A300D-15B AMB 64-bit laptop with Vista 64-bit installed. After I installed Vista, it automatically takes the audio drivers for sound card, but Dolby has failed.
    I tried to install the drivers of toshiba, it fails.

    Can someone guide me how to install the drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio Vista 64 bit please...

    Kind regards
    Ganesh

    Hello Ganesh

    Sorry, but this laptop model is not supported for Vista 64 bit and I don't know what the driver installation you are writing about.
    What you can try is to download and install THIS driver.
    It's driver for Satellite A300 but this laptop has the same sound card as your Satellite A300D - Conexant CX20561.

    Please post the results.

  • Satellite A300D - 18 H - Forgot login password for Vista

    Daughter has forgotten its login password Vista for its Satellite A300D 18 H.
    Is there a way to recover the password, and if so what is the best way?

    Thank you!

    There are ways to reset the password to a blank password. I don't think that Toshiba would allow us to post tools like this on the forum, so having a search in google.

    Another solution would be to fix the HARD drive on another PC using a USB adapter, copy your documents and other important files, then put the HARD return drive to perform the recovery and then copy backup your files/documents.

  • Satellite A300D-15B - upgrading Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit?

    I added an extra 4 GB of memory to my Satellite A300D-15B (PSAKCE). When I try to run the 64-bit Windows 7 update, it will fail with a blue screen.

    Is it possible to update this model for 64-bit Windows 7?

    I could not find the driver for Win 7 64 bit on the page of the Toshiba driver, but Vista 64-bit drivers should be consistent, at least most of them.

    > When I try to run the 64-bit windows update 7 it will fail with a blue screen

    To be honest, I never did upgrade of Windows that I always prefer a clean install.

    Can someone help me please

    The only way is to search on websites external to pilot because Toshiba does not Vista drivers 64 bit for your laptop model.

    Here are some sites where you can search for it:
    http://ATI.AMD.com
    http://www.Realtek.com
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    And don t forget to upgrade the BIOS to the version that is compatible with a 64-bit Windows OS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
    Your model belongs to the PSAKCE series.

  • Satellite A300D-17F - HDD is the reason for the slow-running?

    Hello

    For long time I wrote the problem of my computer that is on the performance and today that I realized its hard drive is ATA. You have an idea the reason for the slow performance is?
    Satellite A300D 17F

    By the way who advised thanks me avira antivirus, perfect :)

    Hello

    I put t know if the HARD drive is the reason for the slow performance. The Satellite A300D is normally very good laptop and quite fast for all applications.

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Maybe the performance issue is software partners and so a reinstall of Windows would be very useful.

  • Fan runs so fast on Satellite A300D

    Hello world!

    My machine's Satellite A300D 17-F with Vista!
    For a long time, it was a problem that is on the HARD drive because of the bad sectors. I guess that I solved it with a program called blast4 maxtor. I've implemented it to xp sp3 and it became faster.
    But fan! Fan does not work so fast :) I try power saver driver but it was not configured.

    What can I do?

    If you want to slow forward speed replace cooling method option min level.
    This option, you can find in the Toshiba power saver tool.

  • Satellite A300D-11 t - external microphone does not work

    Hello.

    I have the Satellite A300D-11 t, Windows Vista HP 32 bit SP1.
    After almost a year of functioning of the system, Vista decided to fail. So I reinstalled it.

    I downloaded all the necessary drivers and forgive me - no unnecessary waste, such as + help +, + acoustic silencer +, + Config Free + and so now (surprisingly fan slowed down and all the computer is colder).

    Now. When I plug the headphones with built-in microphone system does not automatically switch on this one.
    In + Control Panel / sounds + I can see that I plugged it, I can do a test and the test itself works perfectly with a helmet but + recognition + however receives sound from microphone.

    Also when music plays of any player, plug the headphones does not switch anything - music plays again from built-in speakers. The same situation with + Skype + and change any setting does not help.

    Initially, I forgot to install the audio drivers because Windows has done it for me, but adding it did not improve the situation.

    I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't install anything. Here's what I have so far:
    -lan drv - 20080715144843
    -modem drv - 20080403094119

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    As far as I know that the laptop supports the audio chipset Conexant CX20561 then you must install the Conexant audio driver!

    Please install the SP3 of XP Win first before install you the audio driver.

    PS: If the newer BIOS version has been released then update also!

  • Satellite A300D-15B - off and charging problem

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300D-15B, running Windows 7 32 bit, which has bought used recently. I encountered some problems and I hope that someone can help me with!

    First of all, the day I got the machine, he spent all of a sudden, but turned back immediately and seems to be ok. Subsequently, 3 weeks later (Saturday 2 July) I was installing some software when I got an AGV virus warning, in a few moments the machine again is turned off suddenly. Unfortuanetly right now it will not turn back and the costs/AC power indicator do not come. After some research, I found that remove the BIOS battery and power dissipation allowed me to turn on the machine. Are there any known issues that could be the cause?

    Second, once I had the laptop to turn on after you stop suddenly on Saturday, I found that the charger will not yet be you register as being plugged in unless I have use the folling procedure.
    (1) disconnect the power cable fuse from the transformer block
    (2) remove the battery
    3) plug into the DC Jack
    (4) plug the power cord for the transformer that causes the power led on the laptop to turn on.
    (5) reconnect the battery

    The laptop then charges normally, I use it to write this post.

    I must use this process whenever the unit is unplugged the sector or charger, which is irritating and also concern that there could be trouble on the horizon.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
    see you soon
    John

    Hi John,.

    You wrote that your laptop runs with Windows 7 and the first question you mentioned could be linked to the operating system only. You can test one thing please? Restore factory using Toshiba recovery disc. The disc will restore original settings of the case which is pretested by Toshiba.

    If it s just a software related problem the recovery disc will resolve this problem.

    Unfortunately, it could be a malfunction of the motherboard also. Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or 3rd party one?

  • Re: Satellite A300D - 15 c - external microphone does not work

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D - 15 c with Vista 32 bit.
    My microphone works fine, but I can't get the external microphone to work.

    I would really appreciate help with this problem.

    Thank you!

    Edit: The microphone is enabled of course, it is not cut and the level is set to max.

    Hello

    It looks more like a hardware problem, I mean a problem of external microphone jack what you think?

    Just a question;
    It is perhaps a silly question, but are you sure you used a right sleeve to 100%? Maybe you mixed the headphones with mic jack

  • Satellite A300D-21W - need touchpad drivers for Windows 7

    Please help me with this one!

    I am happy with my Satellite A300D - 21W PSAHCE, out it came with windows vista (and battery life could be better). The guy in the store said I could upgrade to Windows 7 so I did and I love Windows 7!

    But the touchpad does not work! Have been looking around for solutions, but the problem seems that there is not even the drivers for it on the Toshibas Web page! I understand that I need synaptics and Alps Electric drivers.
    Have tried a few pilots of similar models, but no luck at all.

    Please, I want that my touchpad to work! It's a pain # to connect a mouse all the time! (more his hogging a usb port)

    See you soon!

    I am not owner of a300 d, try the driver for the touchpad of Vista, most of them are compatible with Win 7.

    Pilot 8.634.1 display - zoom settings do not work. New Catalyst 9.11 does not help me.
    Audio driver 4.98.6.61 - is not instaled.

    I installed the driver for Vista display and sound for XP, but I think that I need a update because video card with this driver 8.452.2 - 080130 a-059298C works very slowly.

    What should do?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi mate,

    First of all, you can use Windows XP on Windows 7 drivers. It will not work.

    You wrote about the different drivers for Vista and XP Ok, most of the Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7 but Satellite A300D is Windows 7 supported. This means that you can already get Windows 7 drivers on the Toshiba page:
