Satellite L300D148 slow Windows XP

Hello

I bought the Satellite L 300 d and it downgraded to Windows XP Home SP3. I've implemented the SATA driver with nLite (for AHCI) and everything went well.

The installation was no problem and I installed all the drivers from the toshiba europe site.
But the problem is, that the slow natural short sys.

Any ideas?

Hello

Did you change the SATA mode in the BIOS?
What SATA drivers did you use?

Have you tried to disable some unnecessary processes that are always conducted in the background of the OS?

Use msconfig and check how much and what process are activated

    Hi nicoletrist,

    I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but I think that the slow start Windows is caused due to viruses you have or had.
    A few years ago I also had a virus and it was causing a very slow start to the top, he did take up to 10 minutes until Windows has been loaded and the only solution to get rid of this used Toshiba recovery disc.

    I would like to recommend you. Use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings and save your data, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
    I'm sure after using the laptop recovery disk will work like a charm again! :)

  • Satellite A100 - starts Windows

    Without changing anything, my Satellite A100 starts Windows.

    A screen with Windows foutherstel (failure recovery) gives two options; Start windows normally and start recovery. When I push the first option, there is a quick blue screen, which disappears too quickly to read the music. Finally the resumption of failure screen comes back. in the alternative, there is a system that is said; Recovery Options screen It cannot start the program installated. Click Ok to shut down the computer.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hi hans_3,

    Maybe something has confused the Windows registry or some important system files and thus, you can t more to start Windows or start the system repair option.

    I think in this case it of necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore, you can take the Toshiba recovery disc that brings your computer back settings factor o where all the drivers and tools are already installed but it erases the entire HARD disk.
    It only takes a few minutes and needs just a few clicks.

    Good luck! :)

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J, Windows 7 64 bit, 4 GB RAM and it do not start Windows 7. He begins to see you logo startup Toshiba etc and then it goes to black and it loads Bootmanager of Windows with the following message;

    + A problem on your computer has occurred during communication with a device that is connected. +

    + This error can be caused by an external storage device as a drive external USB, the device in use, or damaged hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive disconnect that is damaged. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer. +

    I tried to download a Windows 7 recovery disk, it burned on DVD. It works, I'll get to choose where he was working to correct (I get an error) or use a Windows 7 from disc (does not work). And if I start it in safe mode I see that it stops and freezes to the file; Disk.sys

    Someone at - it an idea?

    Greetings,

    Hello

    And have you connected an external USB device as says the error message? If Yes, remove all USB devices and try to restart your laptop.

    If you can t start in safe mode, your operating system is confusing upward and the only option to get rid of it is to reinstall Windows.

    You use the preinstalled version of Windows 7 in Toshiba? If yes go to the start menu Windows by pressing the F8 button where you can select the safe mode, etc. and choose Advanced repair my computer option. Then select Toshiba HDD recovery and factory settings are restored. Also see this article on HARD drive recovery:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If disk HARD recovery doesn't work, you need an original Toshiba recovery disc. If you didn t create this drive just order a new one here:

  • How do I defragment & cleaning Satellite C650 with Windows 7

    How do I defragment & cleaning Satellite C650 with Windows 7?

    Hi toddlingham,

    I agree with Akuma. Disk Defragmenter tool is also available on Windows 7 and CCleaner may clean the registry and delete the temporary files and not used. It is very nice tool.

    Also I recommend you to uninstall all the programs you n t need more to clean install. For example, you can remove all evaluation software and applications that you don't need.

  • Lost icon volume - Satellite C660 running Windows 7

    I was wondering if someone could help me with a little annoying problem...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 running Windows 7, since working I could use the function button to turn the sound off, I lost the icon for the volume control on the taskbar... it's one of the things that I use a lot, so I want to recover!

    I checked for other people with the same problem and there is a little, but most seem to be able to remedy this by going into the properties of the taskbar and by turning the volume on. The drop-down list is gray for me and will not work :( I can't restore the default behaviors and on the notification icons page it says she is silent, but "Show icon and notifications" is selected.

    I hope someone can help!
    Thanks for reading :)

    Hello

    The sound volume icon belongs to its driver.
    Recommend reinstalling the audio driver to address this issue.

    But I can give you some short tips:

    -Disable the start up programs you don't need msconfig

    Can I reformat and load XP?
    Please stop punishing the smart to the actions of the ignorant
    KISS

    Of course, you can install Win XP. Why not
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find some Win XP drivers.
    If some drivers would be missing, then you could look for drivers with your own hands.
