Satellite L300D-200 - I can do a system dual boot?

Hello

My toshiba satellite OS is Windows Vista Home premium.
Does anyone know if the satellite L300D can have a dual boot of Windows Vista home premium and the Linux operating system?

Hello

Why it shouldn't be possible to make a system dual boot?

You can install a Linux distro without problem. What distribution do you want to install? If you want Ubuntu I can recommend the Wubi Installer. This tool is very easy to use because it installs Ubuntu as a Windows application.
But of course you can also use another Linux distribution ;)

Last but not least, let me give you a tip: before installing something, make sure you already burned the Toshiba recovery disc. If a problem occurs, you can restore the factory settings every time.

Good bye

  • Satellite X 200-245 can I install a second HDD

    on the satellite X 200-245: can I install a second hard drive?
    is this possible?
    There is a place for him but no sata connection on the motherboard where can I find this connector

    No you can not install the second HDD because there is no connector on the HARD drive that would be impossible to connect the HARD drive to the mobo.
    And no, it of not possible to upgrade the mobo with this connector.

    The X 200 has two HARD drive bays because certain X 200 support 2 hard drives and some don t support.

    Your X 200 doesn't support 2 HDD

    Yes, you can use the installation of Windows 7 to qualify for the upgrade to Windows 8.

    You can then install Windows 8 on Windows 7 partition and dual boot with XP.

    For reference - if the computer had installed XP you could not dual boot with the help of an upgrade of Windows 8.

    In addition, to back up important data before installing a new operating system is recommended.

  • What is the purpose of the BOOTSECT. BACK file on a system dual boot?

    What is the purpose of the BOOTSECT. BACK file on a system dual boot?

    Hi Clyde,

    What is the operating system installed on your computer?

    Bootsect.DOS is the boot sector loaded by NTLDR charge BACK, or if there is no file not specified when an operating system is not NT-based loading. When your computer is configured to dual boot in Windows NT version 4.0 and another operating system, it uses a hidden file called Bootsect.dos to boot into the no Windows NT operating system. If the Bootsect.dos file is damaged or is missing from the root of the C drive, you receive this error. Bootsect.DOS is created by the installation of Windows NT. The boot sector in sector 0 of the C drive is copied in Bootsect.dos until the installation program writes the Windows NT boot sector. (Setup will not overwrite an existing Bootsect.dos.) If you choose a previous operating system, Windows NT runs Bootsect.dos, simulating the normal procedure to start the previous operating system. Because the information contained in Bootsect.dos is really created by the previous operating system, it is very difficult to re - create.

  • Satellite L300D-13s - how can I restore with corrupted disk 2

    The laptop is a Satellite L300D-13 s.

    I tried to restore the laptop using the restore discs, the first disc has worked well, but he did not recognize the second disk. No matter what I have I could not get to read this disc.

    I then tried the F8 option of us to restore the drive, but I got the missing Bootmgr message. I tried F8 using the DVD, but it doesn't have a restore option.

    Using the option to boot with a record I did access the E drive and discovers the HDDRecovery directory but not found something that would allow me to run a restore.

    Y at - it an option to do a restore in this way, or can I restore another way?

    Your help would be appreciated gratefully.

    Hello

    Recovery procedure can be performed on two tracks:
    -Via recovery CD/DVD or
    -From the HDD recovery procedure

    If there is problem with the created discs, then you should try to use the second option. It works as follows:
    -Start your laptop and press F8 for Advanced Startup Options
    -Here you will see the option to fix my computer
    -Choose this option and follow the on-screen menu.
    -Then, you will encounter the system recovery options
    -The last option is the Toshiba recovery procedure. Select it and follow the on-screen menu.

    Please note: this will work if you didn t change partition structure, installed OS clean or deleted the folder HDDRecovery.

    At the end I have to say, if nothing helps, and if you are not able to install the OS by using one of these methods I see a solution only: you must order the new recovery DVDs.

  • Satellite L300D - 13 X - can't find it on the Toshiba site

    Hi all!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300D - 13 X

    But on the site Web of Toshiba, if I get his nr series, then he doesent get recognized. If instead of that, I use the small software that are supposed to log the computer model, which also fails to recognise my model. And last I tried to manually enter my model. I chose the Satellite L300D and then the nearest I can choose is L300D-h-13, but mine is L300D-13 X, should I choose the L300D-h-13 anyway?

    All those who recognize this problem, I would be most grateful

    Best regards.

    Hi QWERTY,.

    I put t know what hurts you, but I find your model of laptop on the Toshiba site. As far as I know it belongs to the series of PSLC0E then follow this:

  • Satellite X 200: Vista can't to the internet via a LAN network cable

    Hello.

    A month ago, I bought my Toshoba Satellite X 200.
    Everything worked fine until 3 days ago. I had been downloading over night and when I came home from work it was still downloading but I couldn't visit our Web site, or I could write about messenger, but I put online...

    I unplugged my bit torrent client, but that did not help at all. I can't connect to the torrent thing now and I can't connect to messenger, or the internet.

    If I'm looking for in what Messenger is the problem it says that there is a problem with the gateway can I fix this and the following problem is DNS and main ports... If I use windows own tool for the research of the reason is that it cannot communicate with the server dns tha. If I try to log in on the wireless, there is no problem and my friends can easily use my internet but I can't.

    I can see also all other computers on the network. I think I have almost tried everything... Hope you guys can help me

    It's a very strange question! You can use the LAN connection when the WIFI network is disabled?

  • Satellite L300D - 18 d - can I he move to 4 GB of RAM?

    I bought a satellite L300D - 18 d, model Intel Centrino.
    It has 2 GB of RAM.

    Can I upgrade it to 4 GB? If so should what memory I buy?

    Thank you
    H

    Hello!

    I'm a little confused right now because you said that you have Satellite L300D with Intel Centrino m processor.
    Normally all models ending in D have an AMD processor and not an Intel processor.

    If you have a Satellite L300 - 18 d (not L300D) you can be upgraded to 4 GB. Therefore, you must SO-DIMM DDR2-RAM that supports to 667 MHz.

  • Satellite L300D-11Z - where can I find XP drivers?

    Hello

    My computer works verry bad becuse I just can't find the right driver for my computer, looking at your page, but could not find driver for Vista or Windows 7? My model is Satellite L300D-11Z and I am running Windows XP Home Edition.

    Can you please help me find a driver that can run Windows XP home Edition on my model?

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know Satellite L300D-11Z belongs to the series of PSLC0E and is therefore no XP drivers on the Toshiba site available.

    But if you're looking for without model number or let's say for all models L300D you can find XP drivers. Have you tested these drivers?
    Normally most of them should work for you too. The models are similar, I think Yes it s worth a try! ;)

  • Satellite L300D has decided to go a sort of boot loop

    My laptop decided to go sort of boot loop where it load and displays Toshiba screen, you can press F2 (for BIOS) or F12 (for the boot sequence) then shows a screen saying "Windows is loading files...". "with a progress bar and once who reached 100%, it restarts. Its kind of like the operating system does not recognize the HD. You can not press F8 to boot into safe mode or anything.

    Its a L300D Satellite from Toshiba with Vista

    I replaced the hard drive about a year on the computer and reinstalled vista OS with recovery disks and its been working very well. Ive tried reinstalling several times, ive also tried another hard drive and the same results with it also. I took the disc out and put it in a cage of external hard drive and can see everything ok. So I don't think it's a problem with the disk that initially, I thought it was.

    Ive also tried to format the drive (via the external hard drive cage) and resettlement, repair of vista, which dates back to the last know good configuration etc, but I just get the same results. I also downloaded and tried all the options with recovery of neosmart disk. And I can browse the hard drive at the command prompt ok, which lead me to think of the boot partition has been corrupted somehow. I thought the full format would be cured it but no luck. It comes down to the boot loop.

    So I'm running out of things to try.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    Which disk you used exactly?
    Have you tested the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    If Yes, and the same problem exist, it appears to be a malfunction of the equipment. So, I would contact an authorized assistance service provider.

  • System dual-boot programs wrong volume.

    My system: MacPro3, 1 - dual-booting with Snow Leopard and Yosemite.

    Having Photoshop installed on the two volumes, but work especially in the snow, Wacom has failed to make a control panel operation Intuos for my tablet that works in Yosemite.

    Not great, but a few days ago, snow leopard threw a wobbler on me and decided to launch PSCS3 installation of Yosemite, which means that it does not launch when I right click on a file and choose 'open with '. I'm told it's been moved and need to be repaired. Super frustrating.

    What is the preference I have mix - Finder preferences? -in order to get the leopard snow to see it's own programs installed, instead of it can use on Yosemite.

    Thank you

    Deb.

    The first thing I would try is to make a nice with and change the default application for a snow leopard. I would just try.

    Do you Yeosemite hd mounted when you're in snow leopard.  You might disassemble the drive, you don't need.

    Let me know, I got a script for this at some point.
