Satellite L300 - 18 d - cannot install Win XP and Win 7

Hi people,

I inherited from my brother a Satellite l300 - 18 d...
He has no BONES. When I try to put an XP installation disc I know work it crashes as soon as it gets to the first windows loading a party Executive.

I'm trying to use the Win 7 disk, I also know the work and he gets the original file little 30 seconds loading, then it comes up a column just the letter h like that
H
H
H
H

ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS HARD DRIV IS GOOSED, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE SO EASILY CORRECTED.

Hi mate

I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk

  • Satellite P750 - 02Q 001 - cannot install the Bluetooth and Tuner DVB-T_ATSC Yuan

    I have more than 20 years and the first time ever answer concerning support for the installation of a driver... sheeezz

    Recently bought laptop below and formatting of disk with WIndows 7 ultimate + SP1 (64-bit)

    Australia
    TOSHIBA SATELLITE P750 - PSAY3A - 02Q 001

    Cannot install the latest drivers below (everything worked when bought the laptop):

    -Yuan DVB-T_ATSC Tuner driver (for TV Tuner model only) driver 2.3.3.31 Windows 7 64 - bit 2.9 MB
    -Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba Bluetooth 8.00.06 (T) Windows 7 64-bit 78,08 MB

    * DVB - T Tuner Driver *.
    The EXE file extracted in the temp folder and goes no further.
    The device driver shows "STK7700D" with an exclamation mark against it. See the image below.

    * Bluetooth Driver *.
    First installation install the original driver, then he received close to 50% through the installation (appears to fail to install the components of RF RFBUS).

    Then install attempt fails to go too far (is unable to install the driver at all).

    Third attempt and subsequent attempts to repeat the foregoing in order. Install it just gets to a point and is unable to go any further.

    I tried to disable all Wireless WAN and various other comments and try the install again. Repeats exactly as above!

    > The EXE file extracted in the temp folder and goes no further.

    Try to extract the exe from another place, not in the temp folder.
    In my case, I created a folder on a second partition (D) and have extracted the exe file in this folder. Can go to the Device Manager, and then can install the driver through the Device Manager.
    Choose the installation procedure advantage and point to the folder that contains the extracted files.

    With regard to the issue of the BT;
    Download the new battery of BT from here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    Then clean the registry using the CCleaner.
    This tool is freeware and can be downloaded on several different pages.
    So after cleaning check if you could install new BT of the register stack.

  • Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need assistance with Windows.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
    I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

    So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
    I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
    Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

    Thank you for your help
    Julie

    As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
    I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

    To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

    When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 PS460E - cannot install Win XP

    Since there are 2 variants of numbers on this laptop, am confused abit as forums to post on, appologise if I am wrong again.

    Am pretty much run out of idea what could be the problem, so in a last effort to try to solve this problem, I thought to post it here.

    I have a Toshiba SP4600 series (model PS460E), I went to format and reinstall a fresh XP install, it has now got a new 60gig IDE HARD drive, currently only 128meg ram, as it is not easy to find, and I did not belive he can handle a lot of anways.

    To start the automatic windows boot from the CD-ROM drive, it crosses all pretty fine, you see all the options of drivers loading etc. at the bottom of the screen. He then came to the "Setup starts Windows' and just hangs, does not move, do not disable, does nothing, just stay on that screen and nothing else, the CD-Rom and HARD drive seem to just stop as well.

    The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.

    I used a large number of diagnostic tools, to test the memory, hard drive, card mother/etc, the only one who crashed out bombed was a stress test version that starts ok, then 15 minutes crashses, so not sure it would be.

    No idea how to fix this?

    as am enough out of all atm ideas :/

    > The HARD drive has been replaced as it had an old 20gig I thought could have been the problem.
    Did the same problem occurs using the old 20 GB HARD drive?
    If the same thing happened with the smaller HARD drive so I guess that this problem is NOT related to a HARD disk, but in another part

    Eventually he s a RAM who knows
    In many cases the RAM can be the problem when the laptop do not answer...

    What temperature?
    Have you noticed a temperature higher coming or warm air from the vents?
    The laptop seems to be old, maybe the cooling modules are dirty and cannot cool the processor properly?
    In such cases, it s advisable to clean the fan using a jet of compressed air

    In any case, I think you should also test the laptop with other RAM modules

  • Re: Satellite L300-10 q - cannot install the recovery disk with XP SP2

    Hello

    My laptop started giving problems (slow start & suspended inbetween) so I tried to re-installation with installation disk but recovery whaile there ask lang. & confirmation of removal of data and after the installation of minutes collapsed & turn in DOS (X :) for admin.

    When I restarted labtop it shows Bootmgr has failed.

    So I contact customer Service & they replaced the HARD drive with new, but still the same problem.

    I even tried to install XP SP2 after copying the files, it displays HARD drive not found.

    Pls help

    L300 - 10 q series

    Pls advice also how to check Windows XP is 32 or 64 bit?

    Thanks again

    Alvares

    If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
    You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

    For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
    If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).

    It is impossible, because I can't turn on my laptop with Vista every day.

    Perhaps is - this error connect disk sata HARD... driver or bios driver?

  • Satellite NB10-A-104 - cannot install Win 7 64 bit

    Hi all

    I can't install Windows 7 pro 64-bit original, on my laptop,
    probably the bios does not make me the boot on exsternal burner... the bios is version 1.00 and the hard drive is new...

    what I can do...
    Thank you very much

    If you want to boot from an external source (other then the internal HARD disk), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    But as far as I know the BIOS supports boot devices: USB FDD, primary HARD disk, USB memory and network (LAN)

    had to install xp because vista is not good for me. the system does not install sound card drivers, and Device Manager, there is no listed his card.

  • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

    Hello

    My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
    I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

    The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
    SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
    He said that there is a missing driver.

    I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

    I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

    What can I do?

    Thanks for the help.
    Best regards
    Bruno Moreira

    More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
    In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
    As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

    However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

    But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
    Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
    Give it a try.

  • Satellite L655D-S5050 - cannot install Win 8 due to lack of driver SATA HDD

    Hello!

    I would like to reinstall the operating system on my laptop.

    I've never had problems with this before. I am trying to install Windows 8.
    And the problem is that it asks me the HARD disk driver.
    First of all, I changed in the BIOS in compatibility mode.
    And that did not help.

    Then I downloaded the drivers for my laptop chipset on the Internet, but it did not help.
    Then I thought it might be a problem with the HARD drive. So I formatted completely. But it did not help either.

    Where can be a problem? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think that the Satellite L655D - S5050 (PSK2LU) supports graphics AMD (ATI) and chipset.
    This means that the ATI driver package contain the SATA driver files.
    I found the driver on the Toshiba page here we [Satellite L655D-S5055 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2711088& rpn = PSK2LU & modelFilter = L655D-S5055 & SelCategorie = 2756709 & selFamily = 1073768663]

    Hello

    You will never get Bluetooth works on Satellite L300 - 22 X because it s not equipped with Bluetooth. I put t know who told you this information, but it s wrong.

    Hello

    You can try to change the mode of the SATA controller in the BIOS from AHCI compatible mode.
    This would install Win XP without including the SATA drivers.

    Otherwise, you will need to add SATA drivers if you want to use the AHCI mode.
    Notes; There are a lot of discussions in this forum about the SATA drivers and how to install win XP using the search function of the Forum!

    Good luck
