Satellite L300 PSLB0E - cannot install Vista and Win XP

Hello

I have a L300, model number PSLB0E sat. \
It was originally loaded with vista home premium, but it starts now not at all.
I made a disc of vista Home premium and the number to go with it, but it gets as far as "windows installation" but then it stops.

I tried to new hard drive, same loading XP pro not working!
I think it's Bios, but after the download from Toshiba on this PC and transfer it to a memory stick, my laptop can't see it?

Please can someone point me in the right direction?

A big thank you in advance Paul

Hi mate

Please check in the BIOS if the disc is visible.
If so, then set compatible SATA to AHCI mode and then try to boot from the Vista or Win XP disc.

But if the HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS then it would mean that the HARD drive is dead and so you cannot install the operating system.

Check it!

  • Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

    When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

    Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

    I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

    I really need that data, please help!

    Hello!

    I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

    However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
    These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

    Good bye

    I want to know if I could install windows Vista Ultimate Edition, and where can I find appropriate devices for Windows Vista drivers.

    Hello

    Of course, you can install Vista on your laptop. I installed Vista on my old A50 and it works. OK, I m not able to use the extra features such as Aero for example but the operating system is running.

    The driver is a bit tricky simply said, there are no Vista drivers published, I found a few singles Vista drivers on some sites of s manufacturer of device but at the moment, there is no drivers for this laptop Toshiba.

    PS: on the site of Toshiba Canada, I found the only drivers for some new laptops Toshiba:

  • Satellite M35X-S111: cannot install W2k and Vista

    Greetings! Today I tried to install windows 2000 on my computer laptop m35x-s111 but my attempts were not successful. After you have copied the original drivers, there was 'Blue screen' talk that it is necessary to disable the Bios shadow and the shadow of the video. These options are not present in the BIOS, it is generally whatever is not present adjustments.

    Today tried to install Windows Vista RC1, but lead to this screen and the message that this is full not ACPI (is not compatible). I understand it, it is necessary to disable all these options and then the system will be installed but how do?

    Hello

    Generally, Windows 2000 installation should not be a problem and it is not necessary to disable anything in the BIOS. The fact is that Satellite M35 is designed for Windows XP and I really don t know if the device is supported for W2000 but on WE download page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp) you will find several drivers.

    If possible please send us the error on blue screen code.

    Hello

    What Vista did you use? TOSHIBA recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista?
    Format you the new HARD disk before starting the installation of Vista?

    It is possible that the new HARD drive is not good and therefore the system can not be installed properly
    You can check the drive HARD using a tool called Drive Fitness Test download this as its a freeware program and test your HARD drive.

  • Satellite A200-TR6 - cannot install Vista SP1

    I have Windows Update automatically installs updates the value, but it fails to install SP1. Specifically, I had SP1 in my file "Updates on hold" for a few months now, but it never installs. When I try and do it manually (as in by selecting 'Install now'), he goes through most of the process and then said it didn't and he'll try again. It restarts, try to install it again, then after 45 minutes reports that it cannot.

    I remember reading somewhere that it was due to an incompatibility with the driver for the built-in webcam, but there is never presented solutions. Any ideas?

    Help, please.

    Hello

    You can try to define compatible SATA mode in the BIOS and then could attempt to boot from the Win XP disk without installation of SATA driver.

    But if you want to use the AHCI SATA so this must be set in the BIOS.
    Next, you need the RIGHT Intel Matrix Storage Manager to Intel page.
    You check the chipset that has been integrated on the motherboard and download the right IMSM.

    Then use the nLite to include the SATA drivers and finally use this CD to install the Win XP.
    Sorry, but it's the whole statement and it should work.
    If it will not work then you have used a wrong Intel Matrix Storage Manager or the XP didn't include SP2

  • Satellite L300 freezes with Windows Vista

    I use the Satellite L300 laptop with Windows Vista.
    Once the connection is freezing, so I used to do Toshiba HDD recovery and formatted and installed with its recovery tools.

    Now its connect with normal mode.
    The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    Again, I have to forcely, I need to start with safe mode and normal mode then again once I get the same problem.

    Can someone tell me the solution?

    > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
    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 - 22L - cannot reocver operating system after installing Win XP

    Hello

    I bought the Satellite L300 - 22L with preinstaled Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    My computer has a problem and the blue screen appeared on my screen so I tried to reinstall it.

    I don't have any recovery CD, so I decided to install my old Windows XP.

    In the BIOS I changed the hard drive SATA compatibility mode before installing.
    During the instalation I deleted the partitions of origin and the new C: and D: partitions with sizes like origins.
    XP works fine, but I would like to recover the original Vista Home Premium laptop.

    I can't launch the utility of recovery with 'Zero' button after starting.
    How can I start the other way recovery utility?

    Thank you

    > I don't have a recovery CD so I decided to install my old Windows XP.
    You didn t receive the recovery disk because there was an option to create the recovery disk!
    Mentioned everywhere, you should read the user manual.

    > During the instalation I deleted the partitions of origin and the new C: and D: partitions with sizes like origins.
    > cannot start with 'Zero' button recovery utility after the start.

    First of all, I think that it is a European model for Toshiba laptop. In this case, you must press F8 for advanced boot menu and there you can choose repair my computer option. In a new window should appear the recovery option.

    BUT it will not work now because you have formatted and recreated the partitions!
    Now, you have no choice as to order the new recovery disk to reinstall Vista again.
