  Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

  I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

  Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.

• Satellite L300 - cannot install Vista - HARD drive not detected

  My laptop model is Satellite L300. Model No.: PSLB0E-06U01HAR.

  I am facing problem with Windows Vista Home Basic.
  In the middle of the instalation, it does not detect the hard drive.
  Its shows me the error that is your hard drive erased or not connected the power cable.

  But I installed the operating system like UBUNTU successfully opened.

  Let me know how to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Did you include the SATA driver?
  If this is not the case, this could be the reason why the HARD drive is not detected.

  However, you can disable the AHCI in the BIOS and it could spend in compatible mode. In this case the SATA driver is not important

• Satellite L300 - need to Win Vista product key

  I have a Satellite L300. OS recently broke down and recovery CD does not work.
  I got another CD of instalation windows vista but windows at the back of the laptop dispelled the label, and I can't read the code.

  I can provide the invoice product or information of the laptop required for security reasons.

  How can I return the product key?

  Thank you

  Product key placed in the lower corner of your laptop is useless for you. Why?
  This product key is for the original version of recovery that you have with your machine and cannot be used for activation if you install Windows by using the original Microsoft facilities.

• Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

  Good evening

  I have a Satellite L300. A month ago, I bought and install an upgrade to Windows 7 (I had Vista). Last night, my laptop was working fine and this morning when I opened it I got this error:

  BOOTMGR is corrupt. the system cannot start.

  I did some research and tried to boot from the recovery disc. Laptop computer the disc I get the windows is looding files screen and then a company Microsoft is displayed with a bar above it and then I get a blue screen that says:

  PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED vista

  Now what can I do to reformat my computer and reinstall if I can't load the recovery disc!

  I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

  Can someone tell me what I can do now?

  Is it because I have a recovery CD for Windows Vista and not 7?

  Okay, so I read several post here and the only thing I can't think is the hard drive... but it had already changed a few months ago by Toshiba... now my laptop is not less guarantee more with Toshiba, but I have an extended warranty with my VISA... If anyone has any idea here, I'll try to bring it where they change HARD drive the last time...

• Satellite L300 - can't reinstall Vista using the recovery disk

  My daughters Satellite L300 gave problems that seem to be hard disk errors.
  I installed a new hard drive and tried to reinstall vista from the recovery of the product CD.
  Partitions are created successfully and then I get an error "C:\program files\adobe\acrobat restoration...". several times followed by etc

  "image restoration of error."

  "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

  "Imagex error not to VISTA F:\06235XSP.svm Index 2 odd c:\!

  "Press a key to continue."

  And thye ned.

  All ideas

  Hello

  Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
  To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

  Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
  Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
  Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  Maybe it would work

• Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

  I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

  Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
  Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

  To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

  > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
  Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

  Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
  Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

• Re: Satellite L300 - cannot access BIOS

  My daughter has a Satellite L300 suddenly failed so that on the net. Computer suddenly locked with the whitewashed display picture. Computer could not be shutdown and the task manager would not meet Alt, CTRL, DELETE.

  Laptop was forcibly stopped with a 5 seconds press the power button followed of a reboot. The unit began to start the system, showing the "f2" Toshiba bios or f12 for boot selection, but not details. The "f2", or the f12 key had an effect - i.e. the parameters of the BIOS could not access with f2 & startup option has not posted with f12. Have a set of Toshiba Vista recovery disc I inserted the disc 1, forced another followed stop of a reboot. The disk ran upward and displays "Windows is loading files...". "with a progress below bar that gradually developed 100%, followed by the"Microsoft Corporation"logo with the loading above bar. This lasted a few minutes, but then only shows one arrow big mouse controlled. Disc 2 has never been called for, no program loaded and none were available.

  The loss of access to the BIOS me was more concerned the inability to load Vista, but none are good.

  I'm calling on the cell phone of the guru to help me with this baffling problem - HELP!

  Hello

  Normally you can access the BIOS if you press the F2 key once you have turned on your laptop. Press on and hold this key until you are in the BIOS menu.

  If you can boot from the recovery disc, it should be possible to access the BIOS because it passes the BIOS self-test and until there is no hardware problem.

  If you connect an external keyboard, you can access the BIOS? An alternative you can also try to press F12 for the boot menu.

  You can also try this, if nothing else works:

  Another question (I'm not an expert): my laptop has 4 GB of RAM and a couple guys told me that only a 64 bit OS can use all my 4 GB of RAM. Is this true?

  > I just bought a laptop, Toshiba Satellite L300-1 year and I intend to install Vista 64 - bit OS but I did not find the drivers for Vista 64-bit (only for 32-bit Vista). Can you help me with information or links?

  As already suggested in this forum the Vista 64 bit drivers are not available for all Toshiba laptops.
  What you can do is to search on different websites for these drivers for Vista 64-bit.
  For example, you can search on the page Intel or Realtek.

  Chip manufacturers should provide 64-bit drivers too.

  > Another question (I'm not an expert): my laptop has 4 GB of RAM and a couple guys told me that only a 64 bit OS can use all my 4 GB of RAM. Is this true?
  The 32-bit OS no matter if it s Vista or XP would recognize only 3.2 GB of RAM.
  Only the 64 bit OS can see 4 GB of RAM or more

• Satellite L300 Windows 7 to Vista with Toshiba Recovery CD

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Series (2008 model) cell, which was originally Vista but I installed Windows 7 Professional on this topic. I would now like to go back to Vista.

  I noticed that the "Windows.old" folder created on the c: / drive appears to be missing a lot of files and could have been modified since the date of that its creation. I think it would be too risky to use it to recover back to Vista.

  So my question is can I use my original Toshiba Recovery DVD set to return to Vista? I want to do a full factory reset to restore my system when it was purchased with Vista.

  If the recovery DVDs is not an option and was the only is by using the Windows.old folder, if it is missing important files so she could leave my corrupt system? I don't know there is a way to get back to Vista by restoring factory somehow.

  Comments and reactions to urgent!

  Thanks in advance.

  > So my question is can I use my original Toshiba Recovery DVD set to return to Vista?
  Without a doubt. Only using original recovery disks you will have factory settings again.

• How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

  1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

  I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

  Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

  Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
  But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

  Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

• Satellite L300 - 1F5 PSLBGE Windows Vista 64-bit display driver

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite L300 PSLBGE two weeks; as you know, the operating system is not included.
  I installed Windows Vista 64, and since then I struggled to find the drivers.

  After weeks of struggle, I managed to get all the necessary drivers, except the "Display Driver"

  On the site of Toshiba, this driver is none that does not exist. There is a display driver for the same model but for Vista 32, I downloaded it but it is impossible to install (indicating that I have not the minimum standards to install this driver).

  Help, please! I need this driver for Vista 64. It is urgent...

  Thanking you in advance,

  > I installed Windows Vista 64, and since then I struggled to find the drivers.
  Usually, you must check if the laptop is supported for some OS at first and then install the operating system.

  In any case, according to the specifications of the laptop, your laptop must have the Intel GL40 graphics card. The same Satellite Pro U400 PSU45E and it is Vista 64 bit supported.
  HEREis the link to the driver.

  Check it out!

  Thank you

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite L300 too but I can t view such a question because I often use the Hibernate and the day before.

  In any case, I think you should try to install the latest driver from the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  But before installing the new version, you must delete the old first and then reboot the laptop. After that, you can install the latest version.
  And if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS that you can find on the Toshiba site too.
