  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. I don't know since when you have this strange problem but if possible, try to roll back the OS to an earlier time until she starts to happen. Use the System Restore tool to do this.

  I don't know what is the seriousness of this problem may be but and if the display driver installation can help. To be honest I don't think. My advice to you is to back up all your important data and install OS again using recovery image installation. After doing this you will have factory again and everything will be OK.

  By the way: I think that this old notebook is supported for Win7. A long time ago I ve installed Win7 32 bit on L300 and there HERE perfectly. Much better than the original Vista OS.

• Cannot set in AHCI mode for disc SSD NB300

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba NB300 netbook, running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, very happy with it!
  I have a Corsair 3 112 GB Force SSD drive is installed, and everything seems to work fine!

  Read on the SSDS, I see that a better performance for executing the SSD in AHCI mode.
  So I went to menu configuration of startup and changed compatibility in AHCI mode.
  I actually tried a few times, always with the same result, failure!

  When the system is trying to start I get a message saying that there was a problem and that
  the system is trying to gather information.

  The only solution is to go back in the program installation and handed to the compatibility mode.

  The BIOS is up to date, and I just don't see any way to solve the problem.
  I really want to get best performance with this net book as possible.
  I have a screenshot of the details of Speccy SSD drive, but I don't see a way of fixing?

  If anyone can advise me on how to get mounted AHCI mode and go that I would be really grateful!

  Thank you

  Unfortunately on this forum we don t have reports on the use of the DSS on NBs I have NB520 and I would use the SSD for, but so far I didn't find the right.

  As far as I know by default BIOS is set to AHCI mode. What operating system you have installed? The original that you got with your laptop or your own version? Have you installed the s Intel Storage Manager of the Toshiba download page?

  Hello.

  XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

  To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

  Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
  Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

  Thank you in advance.

  Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
  Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

  Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

• Why the AHCI mode is disabled in some models of Satellite P200/205?

  Hello.

  My laptop model is Toshiba Satellite P205-S6277 (PSPBGU-00W016B). Chipset Intel 945 PM Express, Intel 82801 GBM (ICH7-M).

  According to the information of the intel.com my laptop processor / chipset are fully compatible with the AHCI mode. But my SATA controller works in IDE compatibility mode and there is no way to enable AHCI SATA mode in the BIOS.

  So I have two questions correlated.

  1. why this AHCI mode is completely disabled by the BIOS? Is it possible to activate this mode in future versions of BIOS?

  2 If this mode is completely disabled by the BIOS in the models of laptop of all PSPBG and PSPB0 then why Intel Matrix Storage Manager (driver that improves the functionality of the AHCI mode) is available at downloads driver recommended for these series of laptop on sites European Canadians, Toshiba and even specially for my Toshiba laptop model on the site?

  I already posted the same question to the site we Toshiba but unanswered for a month.
  Maybe there is someone who is able to answer this question?

  >.. There is no way to enable AHCI SATA mode in the BIOS.
  How you tried to activate it exactly?
  I have Satellite P200 and the two modes are available. I have model laptop but can not imagine that the AMERICAN models, or models even Canadian work on a different path and BIOS must be the same.

  Toshiba service best place where you should ask for help. Call them and ask for explanations. If you are right and the AHCI mode is unavailable, they know why.
  Over the past 3 years I have worked with 4 different laptop models and all have absolutely identical SATA settings.

• Satellite L350-172 - slow HDD after set SATA mode for compatible

  SERVUS of Germany

  So far so good.
  Driver found on the Web site and so on that I spend in Bios the SATA Mode on "compatible" because the AHCI mode does not work with XP.

  In my view, disk access is slow and windows hang up so that the closing

  Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is not unusual that your HARD drive runs slower after the change of mode of AHCI SATA compatible.
  You have disabled the SATA feature and so you cannot use the benefits of SATA.

  And I must say that you are wrong buddy if you say that the AHCI mode does not work with XP.

  You can use the SATA in Win XP, but you must include the SATA driver first.
  Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA driver, and you could include using the nLite software.

  Good bye

• Satellite L300D-11V: can I run SSD in AHCI mode?

  Hello

  I just installed a SSD and Win7 64 bit on a laptop L300D-11V.

  Anyone know if it is possible to run in AHCI mode as I don't see the option in the BIOS?

  I saw there is a BIOS update but if it is not updated to enable the AHCI I would rather not bother...

  Hello

  I assume that it should be possible to use the SSD with AHCI mode.

  The AHCI means that the SSD or HARD disk would go with SATA performance but for that you need to install the SATA driver first.
  If SATA is set in compatible mode, then a SATA driver is not necessary to install the Windows operating system.
  Simply said;
  -n t need SATA drivers in compatibility mode
  -you need SATA drivers in AHCI mode

  The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager and you can download this European driver of Toshiba or Intel page

• Satellite P100: How to activate the AHCI mode?

  As all you know, some laptops P100 series are equipped with a controller Intel 82801GBM SATA natively supports the AHCI and with a Fujitsu HDD which takes in charge the NCQ.

  However, the disc is forced in compatibility mode, and therefore the NCQ is disabled, resulting in a loss of performance (which is certainly necessary that laptop hard drives are generally slower than those of office).

  Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS which activates the AHCI mode and no tool like HWUtility that can twist that (although it wouldn't work). As far as I know, newer laptops support AHCI mode and there is also an option in the BIOS to enable it.

  Is it possible to activate the AHCI mode in our laptops beloved and make the most of our hard drives?

  Hello

  Do you think that the AHCI is disabled?
  You can run the Intel Chipset ID utility to determine if the ICH7DH SATA controller is already running in AHCI or not.

  However, I studied a little more on other forums that are a little more specific and find this:
  Activate the AHCI on Intel chipsets, without having to reinstall Windows 2000/XP

• Satellite L350 - don't wake up from sleep mode

  Hello

  I have a new Satellite L350 with 4 GB of RAM on windows 7. whenever he goes to sleep (or put into hibernation) he does not automatically wakes.
  Is there a specific key or sets of traits required keys?
  I find myself pressing the power button which tells me that it is not stopped correctly.

  I disabled the sleep and Hibernate in the meantime functions.
  Thank you

  Hello

  You should check if your BIOS is up to date.

  Usually, there is no special procedure to wake in Unity mode sleep or hibernation, you must press the power button (very short) and it will wake up the unit on the mode 'sleep'.

  Hello

  Thanks for this post.
  It of a normal behavior that HARD drive would go a lot faster using the AHCI SATA mode.
  If the SATA mode would be compatible in the BIOS then your HDD would be much more slowly and it would take more time to access the data on the HARD drive

  Once again... Thanks for this interesting thread and your screenshots!

• Satellite L350-17Z: Question recovery disc creation - problem with calibration

  I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

  So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

  Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

  Hi Snen,

  It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  And what kind of DVD that you use to create a recovery disk? I have good experience with the types of DVD - R and I use Verbatim.

• Satellite L350 plays no more CD

  I tried to delete the UpperFilters LowerFilters en. The Upperfilters was successfully deleted, but I couldn't find the LowerFilters.

  After that, I deleted the software and restarted my laptop, but also, this did not help.

  Tried to open the CD's failure but this mode did not very well too...

  Yesterday I went to the computer store and there they told me that I had to download a player on the Toshiba site. Guy advised me to download the DVD - RAW drive. But this disc is not available for the Satellite L350.

  So, can someone help me?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I doubt that this has nothing to do with the pilot, the point is that Windows does not need additional drivers! It already uses the pilot Ms.

  The reason why you, CD/DVD drive do not read the CD more could be different.
  One reason might be a compatibility problem between the disc and drive would not all 100% compatible discs, the other reason could be failure of laser in many lens laser lens may not calibrate correctly and the drive are therefore not readable

  In this case, the STRANGE must be replaced.
