Satellite L300D - can downgrade to XP from Vista

• Satellite L300D - cannot downgrade from Vista to XP

  Yes, I realize that Vista to XP is technically a downgrade but in my current situation, its nothing but an upgrade.

  Right, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D-PSLC8A.

  I ve only had it for 3 months now and I've experienced various problems with it, the DEP, on the one hand, is a real problem.

  I ve had problems with my hard drive, began to really hurt at some point to the point she would have a continuous loop of repair and just wouldn t start correctly.
  I had it sent back under warranty, thinking it was a hardware failure, but apparently not, blah blah, whatever.

  My main problem right now is that I don't like Vista on this machine and have tried to format / install XP on it, several times, without success, using XP service pack 2, then one, then none

  Each time I boot from the CD, it will start the initialization components needed to launch the formatting and installing XP, gets to the point where it says "starting windows" downstairs, and it blue screens on me, every time.

  Now, I ve tried check disk, virus scans, I even got paranoid after this happening the first time and I have 3 firewall on this machine, but it's just will not work.

  Any suggestions or anything like that would be very useful

  Hello!

  BSOD code means you are using a wrong driver AHCI.

  You integrate the AHCI driver? To the Satellite L300D, you must download the display driver package because there you can find the AHCI driver. Then, copy the drivers on an external floppy drive and load after you have started from the CD by pressing F6. Or allows you to create your own nLite installation disc and then you don't need the external floppy drive. Here you can download: [www.nliteos.com].
  In addition you will find hundreds of discussions here in the forum about this audit as this!

  Alternatively, you can install XP without AHCI drivers if you change the mode in the compatible BIOS. But some users here reported that the AHCI mode is faster

• Satellite L300D - can't watch movies using a Toshiba DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D - 12L and the toshiba dvd player has stopped working.

  The laptop is always able to recognize the dvd as the 'AutoPlay' box appears when a DVD is inserted and says ' DVD RW drive (e :)) "at the top of the follow-up to the title of the film.
  I then click on 'play the DVD using a DVD TOSHIBE movie'... and nothing happens.

  I tried several different DVD, which I know work in other laptops or DVD players.
  I tried by following this link...

  http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/topic27616.html

  and deleted the lowerfilters and upperfilters but that cause problems and I had to perform a system restore.
  I'm running out of ideas and I would like to be able to watch DVD on my laptop again because I don't have a TV or a DVD player.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the CD-DVD drive can read the disc, but it seems that the Toshiba DVD Player cannot play video files

  Then maybe you should try to play the DVD using other software like Windows Media Player or VLC player download VLC player this small software and install it
  Then try to play the movie

  I recommend also to install the tool called DVD Player Update Check Tool that you find on the European driver Toshiba page.

  With this tool, you can check your laptop, if your DVD player needs an upgrade and if so, it gives you the download link for version upgrade needed.

• Satellite L300D - no Manager Realtek Sound in Vista?

  One of the tasks that I use my laptop records the music.

  My friend also has another laptop with the running XP Realtek audio driver. When right click on a speaker icon list drop down pulls up with the Realtek Sound Manager option. With this Manager, it is possible to assign a microphone or a line-in to the entrance. Also you can mix several devices to enter the desired volume, combining the computer sounds (midi or wav) with the sounds of the line-in Jack.

  In my laptop L300D runs on Vista, this is not the case, although I have installed the latest driver Realtek (version 6.0.1.5898 20/07/2009).
  Can someone help me with this? How to set the Realtek settings to view and use the sound Manager?
  Or is the only option to get an external sound card? Or do I have to install Windows XP instead?

  Thanks in advance.
  Frans

  Hello

  I have an A300 Satellite with Windows Vista. This laptop is also equipped with the Realtek sound card and drivers Realtek sound card but Manager Realtek HD audio is finally available!

  Look in Control Panel, and then switch to Classic view. Then you should see the Realtek HD audio Manager.
  Check this box!

• Satellite L300D - 12L does not start from CD/DVD drive

  Hello.

  I noticed a couple of threads on L3x who sometimes won't start but have a blinking cursor.
  I also have this problem with my daughter satellite.

  It occurs when there is a disc in the DVD player. The PC does not start, I get a black screen with a cursor and the DVD flashes regularly as if she is trying to determine if there is a bootable disc inserted.

  I tried several discs with similar results.
  Everything that happens the DVDRW ejects, and I have to force a shutdown, then eject the disc immediately when I start her for it boot on Vista.

  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba?

  Fact is if you try to install the Windows operating system on the new laptop series, you must install either the drivers SATA or you must set compatible SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS!

  That's why check first before you would contact any ASP guy to replace the STRANGE.

  See you soon

• Anyone know if I can improve my C762NR from vista to windows 7?

• 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.

• HP G60 - 127CL with XP laptop hardware Downgrade from Vista to XP question

  We have recently bought a HP G60-127 CL laptop and downgraded the OS from Vista to XP Professional with SP3 home.  I found all the drivers and installed them.  All pilots show that "working properly" and everything works except the network controller (wireless I think).  When I go to Device Manager, then in the other devices section, it says "network controller" with yellow?  Note: I installed the driver wireless adapter lan Broadcom 802.11 including hp recommended, rebooted, but still does not work.  I tried reinstalling the drivers, installation of versions of different driver, installation of service pack 3, reinstall XP, etc, but nothing works.  My network card works fine, so I figure that he need Wireless Lan because I can't turn on.  Any ideas?

  Here is the answer. It's an Atheros card not a Broadcom. Atheros AR5009.

• Satellite L300D-13s will slow down the boot process

  Whenever I start the Satellite L300D-13 s computer laptop (using Vista Home Premium with factory settings) I am presented with a Please wait"" message. The startup process can take up to a minute! Is it because of McAfee installing and executing a Bios check, because this does not happen on my desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) except if an update has been installed?

  Apologies for the fundamental question, but this is getting frustrating that this happens every time you start and I don't know why. Please help if you can?

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  There are different reasons why your Vista runs slowly.
  The main reason is the enormous amount of processes that are ruining to the background of the OS.

  You should know that the laptop uses different features that are controlled by drivers and tools.

  If you want you could disable some processes using the MSCONFIG. Check the Startup tab.

  Verify that the processes are not really important to you and turn it off.
