Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

Thanks for anyone who can help you.

Hello

First of all it is an American notebook series.
[Satellite L305D-S5895 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2144776& rpn = PSLC0U & modelFilter = L305D-S5895 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663]

The laptop supports a processor AMD and ATI chipset.
This means that the drivers SATA is part of the ATI graphics card driver.

You must include the first SATA driver in order to install the Windows operating system.
You could add the SATA driver for the Windows disk using software like nLite / vLite

    Hello

    first sorry for my English

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with Windows XP, I need a software, but the function keys does not work.
    So I need a driver, but I can't, and wireless internet does not work.

    > Where could it find special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion, there is problem because most threads here are on the European laptop models. then come to question United States. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. do not work together and each of them is responsible for own models and provide support for specific country notebooks models.

    For most models, so here in Europe Toshiba has offered two BIOS. We were already on the delivered Vista laptops. The Toshiba page download available BIOS for Windows XP Home edition. in most cases, it was version 5. XX and this BIOS was designed to support public services and specific tools of Toshiba. For example, all the FN key features was only available with this BIOS WXP.

    So if any of you have laptop model US they would see how the solution with Toshiba U.S. or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1

  • Satellite L305D - S5895 WLAN driver for Win XP

    Hello

    I had a new Satellite L305D-S5895 and downgrade to Win XP for software configuration required.
    The system does not recognize the wireless LAN adapter, and I got the features of trees not recognized in Device Manager:
    SM bus controller, Ethernet controller (but actually I'm connected ethernet now) and modem device.

    How can I install the WLAN driver?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Controller Ethernet, two devices; LAN or WLan. If the network card is recognized, then the Ethernet controller can be only a WLan card.

    I put t know what card WLan supports this laptop but you could install a hardware diagnostic software such as Everest home edition and could know what card Wlan. Then, visit the WLan card manufacture page and download the driver.

    Device-> you can try to install the drivers for modem of dome published for other series of laptop. Maybe it will work

    SM bus controller-> I guess it is a card reader. The same procedure as a modem device. Check some drivers published in other series

    By the way; It is a model of cell phone US to look for on the Toshiba U.S. page

  • How to speed up the process of updating after clean install

    original title: updates after a clean install

    I just performed a facility clean my machine that runs Vista Home Basic Edition and is now trying to download all the updates it has had over the past three years (ex-factory).

    However it will slowly (no surprise) and I was wondering is there something I could do to speed up the process.  Currently, I am just by clicking on start - Windows Update and let it download what they want from there.  However I have noticed saying she "Download 80 updates", it installs then say 5 of those, restarts and then says "Download 75 updates"-have I really downloaded updates and then lost 80 them, or he really download only 5?

    I also thought the oldest download first, but I can't seem to find an opption to do this - is - it possible?  It seems just stupid for me to download updates of 2010 before those of 2008 (assuming that's what he does lol!)

    All advice or pointers that would help to do that, go a little faster would be immensely appreciated.

    Q

    Start by installing the latest Service Pack (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935791). You'll have so far fewere updtes to install.

    Also note the following regarding your answer to the question of PA Bear "clean install has been through choice. After 3 years machine has become bloated and slow, and I decided to wipe them fresh, start over and give up unused programs that seemed a good idea at the time. » :

    In my view, it is usually a mistake. With a minimum of care, it should never be necessary to reinstall Windows (Vista or any version). I ran Windows 3.0, 3.1, WFWG 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 now, each for the period of time before the next release is out and everyone on two or more machines here. I never reinstalled none of them (with one exception--a problem that I worked on for weeks without success), and I've never had anything more than an occasional minor problem.

    It is my belief that this erroneous notion comes from the technical support people in most of the major OEMs. Their solution to almost any problem, for they know not quickly answer is "reformat and reinstall. It is the ideal solution for them. It gets you phone turned off quickly, it almost always works, and it does not need to do any real troubleshooting (a skill that most of them has obviously not in any great degree).

    But it leaves you with all the work and all the problems. You must restore all backups of your data, you must reinstall all of your programs, you must reinstall all Windows and updates of the application, you must locate and install all the necessary drivers for your system, you will need to recustomize Windows and all your applications to work the way you are comfortable with.

    In addition to all these things being long and painful, you may encounter difficulties with some of them: you will find all your CDs application? You will find all the necessary installation codes? You have data backups to restore? You still remember all the customizations and settings that can be installed to make everything work the way you like it? Sometimes there are problems that are so difficult to resolve that Windows has to be reinstalled properly. But they are few and far between; RESETTLEMENT should not be a substitute for troubleshooting; It should be a last resort, to do that once all other troubleshooting by qualified person attempts have failed.

    And perhaps most important: If you reformat and reinstall without knowing what caused your problem, you will most likely repeat the behavior that caused it and quickly find yourself in exactly the same situation.

  • Re: Satellite A660 - 12 p - can't find the right poster driver for Win XP

    Hey everyone, I need help with this one:

    I have a dual boot Win7 (x 64) / XP (x 86) on my laptop, but I can't find the right poster drivers for compatible video controller VGA on XP.

    Anyone know where I can find them?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A660 laptop - 12 p belongs to the PSAW3E series and it was equipped with the chip to display NVIDIA GeForce GT330M.

    You can try to check the drivers provided by pages:
    -laptopvideo2go.com
    -omegadrivers.net

    But in both cases, the use if these drivers are at your own risk since these drivers don t contain overheating protection!

    If a person has found that xp drivers?

    Hello

    You are right. The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a Win XP drivers for this laptop yet.

    But I think that you should not worry much laptops are equipped with the same GPU chip.
    I recommend checking the previous series of Toshiba laptops and trying to install this driver.

    In the worst case you will have to google a bit for a Win XP ATI mobility Radeon HD 4500 driver.

    If you find such driver then you could install it in Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This will help you to point to the driver files that you have downloaded and stored on the HARD drive. This facility works almost every time
