Satellite L300 PSLB8A: BSOD appears when insatlling Win XP

Old HD is dead, so bought a new one (WD 320).
Win XP Home Ed CD in the drive. Appears to begin loading, and then blue screen appears.

HD format and chkdsk without error.

Released, still the same error.
Any ideas?

Hi mate

The BSOD appears because you try to install a Win XP without the SATA drivers.
You have two options to install Win XP; with and without SATA drivers.

_Without SATA drivers: _
In this case go to BIOS (press F2) and there you have switch compatible SATA to AHCI mode.
You can install Win XP without including the SATA drivers

_With SATA drivers. _
AHCI mode should be set in the BIOS.
Then, you must include the SATA (part of the Intel storage Manger) for Win XP drivers.
You can use nLite (this tool is free) which would help you to create a new Win XP disk with SATA drivers or you could include the SATA drivers using an external USB FDD drive.

PS: I recommend looking here in the forum for similar discussions you will find a lot of information.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8A - Webcam failure when installing Vista SP2

    Hello

    Since I've updated my Satellite L300 PSLB8A 047004 to Service Pack 2 of Vista there was a dialog box that is displayed at startup reported that the driver of the webcam has failed. Everything else is Ok.
    When I searched in the Panel of control-> system area and select the menu option to find the newest driver, it was reported that the latest driver is installed.

    Anyone can help please, would be much appreciated?
    Best regards... KeV.

    Hey Buddy,

    I think you need to reinstall the webcam driver and that should be all...
    You can download the latest driver for the webcam on the official website of Toshiba.

    But I recommend to remove the old display first driver. This means that you need to check the control panel > Add/Remove programs for the old software assistant camera. Uninstall and restart your laptop. After that, it should be possible to install the latest driver of the webcam works correctly.

  • Satellite L300-145 - BSOD appears if I installed 4 GB of RAM

    Hi all

    I have this Satellite L300-145 PSLB0E-03601LPT and I want to install 4 GB of RAM, but when I install 4GB on boot THEN BSOD appears.

    I try to change with the other memorys brand with equal modules, I'm trying to install Windows 7 64 bit, Linux 9.10 64 bit and it the same things. I try too update the BIOS but it the same thing.

    I think it's remapping feature memory on bios but does not have this option.
    So what I have to do?

    My laptop has now 3GB
    CPU: T2390 1, 533 Mhz 86Ghz
    CHIPSET: GM965
    RAM: 2 GB DDR2 at 533 Mhz
    HDD:Hitachi 200 GB

    After upgrade
    CPU: T8300 2.4 GHz, 800 Mhz
    RAM: 2 GB DDR2 667 Mhz
    HARD drive: Seagate 7200.4 250GB

    I really need 4 GB

    Hi mate,

    I m really confused now. As a first step, you wrote that you get BSOD if you upgrade to 4 GB, but the specifications after the upgrade are really different. You have a new CPU, RAM and HARD disk with another specification.

    Anyway, at first I checked the specs on the Toshiba website for your laptop and this model can only be upgraded to 2 GB; not 4 GB!
    This means that you can only use two modules of 1 GB in this notebook.

    Sorry, but you will not be able to use 4 GB in this model of laptop.

  • Satellite A500-1 - BSOD appears during the installation of Win XP

    Hello

    When I try to install Windows XP, it displays this screen on my laptop:

    http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5498/img0159ni.th.jpg

    Greetings

    Hello

    I think that the BSOD appears because the Win XP cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of SATA driver.

    There are two solutions;

    (1) you need to add a SATA driver for Win XP (done SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager)

    (2) or you need to set the Compatibility Mode AHCI SATA mode. This allows you to install the Win XP without the SATA drivers.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8A - Australian driver download page is lazy

    "95 drivers found for Satellite L300-(PSLB8A)"

    There are many aspects of the idiocy that might lead to this declaration, the main being:

    * You do not follow your model numbers despite going to the effort to put big stickers on all the products you sell.
    * You use numbers of different models in different regions of the world which means that I have to find the right site of Toshiba, before that I have no chance of finding my (Australian) model.
    * Your web developers are too lazy to set up a simple filtering so I can refine the selection of downloads.
    * Your Cree support site to find support right but no has no connection of "drivers", as you don't want to give them in the first place.
    * Even once, despite having the exact model COMP you have no idea of fscking this real piece of hardware I cling.

    I have to deal with support sites almost every day and you are the worst I've seen for some time. I sincerely hope that I don't have to support another Toshiba in the near future.

    Hello

    You are right. Satellite L300-(PSLB8A) seems to be an Australian for Toshiba laptop model and usually you have to download the drivers for Toshiba Australian page.

    But there is also the same model in Europe for laptop Toshiba Satellite PSLB8E.
    I think that it of not really different Australian brother. So, you can also use the European driver of Toshiba page to download driver.

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> support download &-> download drivers

    This page is very nice and clear. You can choose the laptop model and you can search for different operating systems. So you won't have any problems to find the right tools and drivers.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8A display, only a black screen

    Hi guys

    Please help if you can; This morning I turned on my laptop (Satellite L300 PSLB8A-04R004 running Vista family) and all I get is a black screen.

    I tried removing the battery and turn on while plaugged in the power supply, same black screen.

    I tried to remove the battery then replace after 10 minutes, but the same black screen. All the power lights are on (but non-corps House).

    I tried everything suggested in support on the site page, but thought that you guys might have the answer?

    Thank you.

    > I have tried everything proposed in the support on the site page, but thought that you guys might have the answer?
    Seems that you have already tried a workaround solution that I would recommend.
    Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery, wait 1 hour or more.
    Reconnect the two parts and then try to switch on the appliance.

    If that does not help, then you might try to start the device using a single module of RAM.
    Maybe it's a question of s a RAM...

    Otherwise it s necessary to test the material parts and run diagnostic checks.
    This can be done by a Toshiba ASP.

  • Re: Satellite L300-1AP BSOD when installing Windows XP

    I have a new L300-1AP and would like to intall XP Pro but when I try it I get the stop message 0x0000007b.

    Made a new installation disc integrated with all updated sata drivers, I still get the message. I'm not sure about how I would install drivers of third party on the F6 function because it has not a diskette and cany to find how to do the same thing in a CD anywere.

    I appreciate that we should all try to use the vista OS that came with it, but it is a problem of compatibility with older software that I use.

    Can anyone help please?

    In the Microsoft Knowledge Base is an article about it:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3ben-us%3B324103&x=17&y=8

    I think that there is something wrong with the SATA drivers. My Satellite L300 works with XP without problems or BSOD when installing.

    The SATA drivers are in this package, and the Intel Storage Manager you can download on the Toshiba site.
    You can create your own installation with nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) disc.
    If I have integrated the SATA drivers, you do not have to press F6. The HARD drive will be automatically recognized.

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8A-0VK004) - cannot find the webcam driver

    Hi everyone, I recently had to do a clean install of Vista Ultimate (32 bit) on my Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8A0VK004

    Unfortunately I could find the drivers for the integrated Webcam. I installed several different versions of the Camera Assistant Software without success with everything that ends with the window, that drivers have failed. Please restart your PC or something similar. After several boots the same problem appears. Device Manager only tells me that all drivers are missing - however I don't seem to see anything on a webcam?

    Everyone knows the same thing? I don't think that Webcam drivers would change within each variant L300?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    Hello

    Your model is a Australian and can be found on the Australian Toshiba page:
    www.MyToshiba.com.au > Support > downloads

    Then enter your model number (PSLB8A-0VK004) and all the drivers will be listed for this model. There is only one pilot of the webcam that you can download for Vista 32 bit: Chicony Camera Software and this is the correct driver.

    Check this box!

  • Re: Satellite L300 - Keep recovery partition when you use DBAN

    Hello

    I usually use DBAN to wipe my drives, however, I am interested in doing this on a laptop without destroying the recovery partition.

    Essentially on a satellite L300 I want to erase the HDD using DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) (while maintaining the recovery partition), and then perform a clean installation of Windows 7. Is this possible or should I look at another alternative?

    Thank you

    I don t use DBAN and may not give you the right answer, but one thing I must say: create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator pre-installed and after doing this, you can do whatever you want.

    If a problem occurs, you can install OS using these disks.
    Please note: when you install using Win7 clean recovery of recorded disc image non-Toshiba makes no sense more because you will not be able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. For factory again, you must use Toshiba recovery DVD.

    Hello!

    You can start in safe mode?

    I tried a bit with Google and I founded out that the problem could be due to perhaps the HARD drive. In your case I would test with Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.

  • Satellite L300 - 16L - BSOD with new modules of RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 - 16L and make me the same problem.

    Has got 2 x 1 GB DIMMS standard and ordered 2 new 2 GB DIMMS. If I put the 2 new 2 GB DIMMS in I get the BSOD, Memtest also crashes as soon as it starts to test. If I place a 1 GB Dimm in the lower slot and a 2 GB in another windows starts fine, if I try to put the 2 in the lower slot and 1 GB in the higher the BSOD that he.

    But if I put either of 2 GB on the lower slot his own windows boots fine, mem test has also allows to test the two GBs 2 individually and said no problem.

    Any ideas anyone? My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB, I'm sure of it.

    Thank you
    JJ

    Hi Jack_Jumpin,

    > My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB, I'm sure of it.
    Why you are sure that your laptop supports 4 GB of RAM?

    I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this L300 - 16L supports only 2 GB. This means that you can only use two modules including 1 GB of capacity.

    Sorry, mate, but you can use t 4 GB. The chipset supports only 2 GB.

    Hello Nick

    Please do not be angry on me, but the whole story is completely strange. I don't understand what you mean.
    Best thing you can do is to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. They can remove the BIOS password for you. Of course, you must pay for it.
    If the laptop is bought legally it has no problem at all.

    Sorry but there is nothing that you can do it alone.
