Satellite M100 - 165 PSMA1E - XP Pro updated to Win7 Ultimate problem

When installing Win7 Ultimate (Eng) with current XP Pro en shows system error (something like could not find a certain file) and the installation will stop.

At the beginning of the installation, I delete all partitions and create new ones.

At the same time Win7 creates, it's own partition with the size of 100 MB.

Using the same disk I installed Win7 on Compaq Presario CQ60 no problem. Also instead of XP Pro.

What could be a problem?
I have to download and use a special software from Toshiba?

Currently I just get XP Pro using from an external drive USB Acronis Universal Restore.

I'd really appreciate for your help.

Stand by?
First I would like to know which version are you trying to install?
I checked the Toshiba download page and saw that this old notebook is supported for Win7 32 bit only so I hope you are using the 32-bit version.

Are you using the original installation disc for Microsoft?
Usually clean Win7 installation should work without problems, especially if you make clean OS install. I ve tested on several old notebooks and didn't note any problem.

Set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  • Satellite M100-165 cannot stop - lights up immediately

    Hi all!

    Here's my problem: whenever I have shutdown or Hibernate my Satellite M100-165, it will light within 5 seconds. Standby does not either - instead of normal going in standby mode (power LED turn orange) it shuts down completely and has the force of will to 5 seconds upwards again and freeze. The computer only lights when plugged into power alternative, with or without a network cable. Wake-on-LAN is disabled. No other event trail is accessible from the menu of the BIOS Setup.

    I tried the system restore to a date before the problem was uccured, I've updated the BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba Power Saver utility, set closing the lid to take no action, scanned with HijackThis and found no suspicious processes.

    The problem started shortly after I installed Motorola Phone Tools (i.e., a driver of USB modem for my mobile phone). I don't know if that could be related but uninstalled/reinstalled the software nothing works.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

    Lately my windows xp that they updated and the effects Manager appear in the control panel.

    But after an another update of the effect window manager disappear

    Hello

    Hmmm... only the TOSHIBA Virtual Sound is known to me, and certainly, this tool is installed on the image of Toshiba. The image of the BONE was delivered on the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    As you say, the laptop supports a smart Audio HD Realtek ALC 861 but only the Realtek driver was installed and not the extra utility.
    Maybe the Realtek provides this tool that could be installed and more? Who knows... but I'm sure... the Realtek HD sound effect Manager is not a part of the image!

    By the way; Several weeks ago, I noticed an update of Microsoft, who has had a bad influence on the chip realtek audio.
    2 days after Microsoft released a patch for this update. Perhaps it has something to do with your problem...

  • Satellite M100-165: connection to the LAN operarte correctly

    I have a Satellite M100-165 for about 2 years with the original Setup (win XP etc) and I make all updates.
    The problem is that the connection to the local network is working properly from the beginning.

    I can connect only if I set the NIC property "link speed & Duplex = 10 Mbps Full Duplex", but on some LANs operate at all.
    I appreciate any response.

    Thank you

    I'm a bit confused now. What you mean with connection to the LAN working correctly from the beginning? What is started for you?
    I can't believe that you declare on that now, two years later. Have you already tried to install recovery image and test it with the factory settings?

    When I try to turn off my Satellite M100-165 ("shut down" in Windows or even by pressing the power button while I'm in BIOS) it lights up after a few seconds. It lights when it runs on batteries. She also doesn't appear when I press the button for 4 seconds.

    I tried to recover the system with the recovery CD (Windows XP Home). I also tried with Windows Vista. Always the same.

    In fact I have BIOS version 2.90 (updated from version 1.90, as far as I remember) but with an earlier version, the problem exists also.
    I think when I got the version of the BIOS before 1.90 this problem did not exist (but I don't remember this version number).

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    Hello

    It's a very unusual question and, for me, there is not just some explanation. It will be interesting to know what Toshiba experts say on this subject. Make a call and let us know what they say.

    The strange is that the same thing will happen with two different operating systems. I can't say for sure why this happens, but your laptop is a bit confusing and of course change the shutdown with restart. If it is result of BIOS update service people should know about it.

  • Question about HDD temperature on Satellite M100-165

    My Hitachi 80 GB HDD on Satellite M100-165 is getting very hot. 50 - 55 c in general using Windows. And warmer that I see is 59.

    Is that normal values for M100?

    Hello

    How did you check this temperature? Did you use the 3rd party applications?
    To my knowledge, these applications don't provide a temperature exactly.

    Anyway, in my view the 55-60 ° C is not very hot for a HARD drive. You know that the temperature is dynamically the value and depends on how fast and time the HARD disk rotates.
    The HARD disk also turns when you use Notepad with General Windows applications and access the OS from the HARD drive.

    The temperature may also increase because the other parties such as the processor and graphics card produces heat. This temperature can increase the temperature of the HARD disk level.

    PS: The specifications are supported protection against overheating. If the temperature is too high the laptop will automatically stops.

    Thanx.

    Hello

    I think that your laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits, then it will be only 132GB recognized. You can learn more about this here: http://www.48bitlba.com/

    What can you do now? Nothing. You can buy a 120 GB HARD drive.

    You should also check if your external enclosure supports 320GB. Not every external HARD disk supports each size of HARD drive.

  • Where is the second slot of RAM on Satellite M100-165?

    Hello

    Sorry in advance for my English :)

    I have Toshiba M100-165 (PSMA1E-01W00PG3) and you want to upgrade memory RAM. But I see just a free memory slot on the bottom of my laptop. According to the manual and specifications of the laptop, there should be two slots. Where is the other? There for you, and how can I access it?

    I will be grateful for the answer.

    You are right. There are two locations of memory, but only one is user expandable!
    In my view, the other is placed somewhere under the keyboard.

    But like I said it's only one scalable user. So, if you open the laptop to access the second slot, you will lose the warranty.
    It is therefore advisable to ask and ASP technician to upgrade memory on the second slot.

    Best regards

  • Satellite M100-165 - need drivers in Windows XP Home edition

    Any body please help me where can I download a newer driver for my laptop Toshiba Satellite M100-1211E (PSMAAL - 01 P 004) run with Window XP SP2 comfortable, when I use Windows Vista, driver it is OK but use with Window XP driver fail to function as for example could not found mic, Fn key could not operate with all functions

    Thank you
    HChau

    The PSMAAL series is unclear to me. I guess you mean the Satellite M100 PSMAIE.

    From my personal experience, the FN keys does not work because the BIOS does not support.
    Toshiba European page offers two versions of the BIOS.
    One for Vista and one for XP. Seems that the 2.8 version supports only the XP and not Vista.

    So if you have installed the XP you must update the BIOS to the correct version to get all functions running.
    In addition, please follow the installation instructions located on the driver page.

    Please install also all MS QFEs. This is very important! And upgrade the XP to the last State.

    Best regards

  • Question about the picture of the screen on the Satellite M100-165

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba M100-165 and I do not know is my bad screen. ?

    I noticed that when I look on the screen and when a color is exposed and look more closely (for example gray) I don't see a color but I see only pixel everyone is on the same color. I see a little shade of that color on the screen. I think that this is not a problem of bad pixel or subpixel.
    Imagine that my screen is a sand. And when I put for example a flat color on my screen, I can see that not all pixels are in the same color. Some of them are a bit more clear and other slightly more dark. It is a very small difference, but I see this difference. And I don't know what is normal thing or my matrix display is damaged in some way. ?

    Thank you for everything.

    B.

    Hello

    Is perhaps a possible for your problem.
    Go to the control system and the display used. Until the click Properties and check the display properties. Go to advanced and check the properties.
    Check the color management.
    Go visit the Toshiba download of an update of your drivers.
