• Need drivers for Win7 for Satellite M60-159

  I installed the operating system Windows 7 (32 bit) to my Satellite M60 PC - 159 with success. But I could not find windows 7 drivers for my computer. If you help with driver problem, I'll be happy.

  Concerning

  This old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition and Toshiba doesn't support these old models of laptops for the new operating system.
  You can be happy if you will get hardware components of basic as audio, display, LAN, WLAN works properly but all the other stuff can be problematic.

  To be honest, you're wrong any problem with drivers. Problem is you are using wrong OS on this old laptop model.

  Let Win7 search of available drivers.

  The point is to use Rams compatible and not faster. If speed of the FSB 533 MHz is there is no sense to use faster RAM.
  "So we are going to discuss here on the best solution for you;).

  Compatible 1 GB of RAM for your Satellite M60 is with PA3411U-1M1G part number.

  I have a portable satellite m60-164, I put windows 7 on it and windows does not recognize as a multi drive only a dvd - rw.
  can someone help me find a readers who works on Windows 7?

  PLEASE

  Hello

  I completely agree with Akuma. Windows 7 supports and include clean driver CD/DVD from Microsoft. If the optical CD/DVD drive should be automatically recognized by Win7.

  You see the ODD in Device Manager?
  If there is a yellow exclamation point, remove the ODD of Device Manager, and then restart the device after restarting again the laptop must find new device and should recognize this.

• Satellite A500 - 13 c - Win 8 BIOS upgrade

  Hello world

  I have a few laptops Toshiba A500 - 13 c in my company.
  Snice Microsoft began offering Windows 8 our software developer made some important updates, which works well on W8.

  I want to update my computer and I've seen how this system works with the new notebooks including some non-BIOS (UEFI) systems.
  I've read about it and Phoenix (developer of my BIOS) says that my laptop is easy to put up-to-date to be UEFI "ready". Are there opportunities that Toshiba will update this?

  Where should I write?
  Someone help me?

  PS Sorry for my English.

  Regads,

  Hello

  First it's a forum user so nobody can answer a question like: + is it possible that Toshiba will update this? +

  But as far as I know that Toshiba has released a tool to win 8 containing a matrix of all the old notebook series supports 8 Win:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

  Your A500 is + NOT + a part of the list, so in my opinion there is not a driver Win 8 or BIOS support.

  > Laptop computer just turn off after a few minutes of work.

  I think this sentence is the key description resembles your laptop could overheat and automatically stops.
  Why is this happening? Well, the laptop could overheat temperature high inside the laptop. It will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

  My long experience, a clogged cooling fans could be responsible for the bad cooling and the temperature high.

  So what to do?  :|
  In my opinion, he must clean the fans to get rid of dust and debris.

  The jet of compressed air is very useful tool and could help you to clean the fans.

  Hope this helps to get the laptop running.

  So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

  is there any solution for this?

  Thank you very much

  and why you want to update the BIOS?

  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
  This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.

• Satellite Pro L850-1NR - dualboot Win7 / Win8

  Hello world

  I use my L850 - 1NR Satellite Pro for the school. I go to a technical school for information technology, and we use windows 8. The problem is that * Windows 7 preinstalled * on my laptop and home, each PC works with Windows 7.

  When you buy a Satellite Pro L850 1NR, you get two * installation Windows 8 CD *, if I want to make one * dualboot Windows 7 and Windows 8 *. I know how to create a new volume on my hard drive, but when I run the first disc, the only option is to remove Windows 7 and install Windows 8.

  Is it possible to dualboot this and if it is possible, what should I do?  :|

  Hello

  Windows 7 is pre-installed on your laptop. 8 win was provided on DVD discs.

  In both cases; Win 7 and Win 8 is part of the image of Toshiba.
  Toshiba is a package containing all the drivers, tools and utilities.

  It s is not possible to keep the Win 7 on the HARD drive and install 8 additional to win using the recovery disk provided.
  Why? Because this isn't clean system Win 8, but as mentioned; his image.

  But in general, its possible to have a system dual boot (8 Win and Win 7). The start menu will be created that will allow you to choose between Win 7 and Win 8 OS.

  You will need to create simply new partition in Win 7 system.
  Then, you must start the MS Win 8 disk clean and could install the 8 Win on the new created partition.

• Satellite M60-169: BSOD appears after upgrade RAM to 1.5 GB

  Hello

  Satellite M60-169 got 1 GB DDR2 Samsung 533 MHz RAM-Modules (2x512MB).
  Now, I have installed a new 1 GB DDR2 Samsung 533 MHz RAM-Module (1x1024MB + orig. 1x512mo = 1, 5 GB memory)

  The problem is: the system reboots before you start Windows XP or Windows Vista.
  Reinstaling 2x512MB Modules: everything works fine.
  Reinstall the new 1 GB Module: blue screen and reboot. :(

  I tested the memory modules with memtest86 Boot-CD and all DD2-Modules work and produce no errors.
  Why the new RAM is not compatible with the laptop?

  The specifications of the new 1024 MB of RAM is: Samsung 1 GB 2Rx8 PC2-4200-444-12-E3 M470T2953CZ3-CD5 double sided
  The specifications of the orig. 512 MB of RAM is: double-Samsung 512 MB 2Rx16 PC2-4200-444-12-A3-M470T6554CZ3-CD5

  Very strange! The RAM is like the original equipped with RAM.
  Is this a BIOS problem?
  If I don't just install a single module of 512 MB, the system starts without any problem. Even if I install only a single modulue of the new 1 GB of RAM, the system does not boot to Windows.

  There may be a BIOS Solution for this problem in the future?, now more installed new BIOS (1.60).

  BR Pappl

  Hello

  I don t think the BIOS problem.
  In my opinion, there is a problem with the RAM modules.
  The new module of memory is default or it s just not compatible.

  Perhaps the mix of RAM is the reason for BSOD interruptions.
  Have you tried to use only the new 1 GB module?
  Check it out.

  I have additional checked the Web from Toshiba site Options & accessories and according to the news, you must use this memory module 1 GB:
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)
