• Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
  Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

  Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
  I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

  Hello

  I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
  I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

  Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

• Satellite P100-160: How do I get an audio driver for XP

  Can someone tell me how to get a sound driver for the P100-160.

  I have a bought a machine expect to be able to use it for my work, as Vista does not support applications that I use I have to install XP. Then I find that Toshiba seem to have selected the material that is not compatible with the drivers for XP and XP. The only ones that seem to work (after wasting much time on trial and error and forcing drivers) work very well for the session (showing that it is technically possible) but stop working after a reboot.

  Someone at - it an idea how to solve this problem? (No, I do not accept the answer 'buy a XP machine', people write drivers from scratch for Linux by reverse engineering, I'm sure that the producers of the sound card can make one for XP)

  Hi guys

  Please check section P Satellite and you will find useful topics how to install and configure Windows XP Home on Satellite P100. Some users have reported on the installation of Windows XP Home edition successfully.

  BTW: don't wait for the drivers of Toshiba. It may take some time. Of course, any upgrade support is not finished and, as you know, the upgrade is more important than the downgrade.

• Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE: Question on the driver installation instructions

  Hello.

  I recently bought a P100-160 model PSPAAE with Vista pre-installed. Like many others, I had no choice with the OS and my experience so far has left me wanting to go back to XP.

  I found the page of appropriate support for the drivers (I guess I have to use the drivers for the PSPAA) and read the instruction sheet that comes with them. There are some questions I want answered before I start on this particular cliff.

  The guidelines mention the SD card Format utility, but I see no mention of one in the list of drivers. It is included in one of the other drivers or is it not found elsewhere?

  Why the Sun Java Runtime Environment is necessary?

  I guess if my machine has no Bluetooth or Infra-red that I didn't need to load the drivers.

  Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

  Kind regards

  Hi John, I recently went through the same process and after a few attempts, settled on the following as a reasonable XP installation (I don't need all that other stuff):

  Satellite Pro P100 (PSPAEA)

  Chipset: Mobile Intel (r) 945 PM Express Chipset
  Memory controller: 82945 PM
  I/o Controller: Intel (r) 82801GBM i/o controller hub (ICH7M)

  What I installed...

  03 - display Driver
  04 chipset Driver
  05 - network - upgrade Ethernet driver
  06 - network wireless driver
  09 - sound Driver
  10 - driver CardBus controller with UltraMedia
  12 - modem Driver
  13 - modem region Select utility
  14 Bluetooth Stack
  15 - Bluetooth monitor
  17 Hotkey Utility
  21 - SD Secure Module
  22 - SD memory card format
  28. DVD-RAM driver software
  33 user manual
  TOSHIBA fingerprint digital-software (from Vista drivers)
  TOSHIBA-disk-Creater (from Vista drivers)

  What I do not installed...

  01 - Microsoft Updates (I used Windows Update to do this)
  02. Sun Java Runtime Environment
  07. customer Intel utility

  30 - RecordNow

  32 - DVD player

  Note: for 05 - pilot network to install correctly, I had to upgrade the Device Manager ethernet controller.

  The numbers relate to roughly the original installation instructions. I do not pretend that it's the perfect installation, only one who appears to be stable and suitable for my purposes...

  With respect to the SD memory card Format driver, I found it somewhere, but I don't remember where (sorry). It has the following file name, even if once extracted (ToshibaSDMemoryCardFormat_v2100A.exe).

  Hope this helps and please post your results as it is good to share their experiences.

• Satellite L650-11F - how to access HARD drive recovery?

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-11F.

  The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

  So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

  Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

  Hi dakova,.

  Ist it Toshiba's original OS is still installed? I ask this question because it of necessary for the recovery of HARD drive. If you have installed another OS, you can access t HARD drive recovery option.
  In addition, recovery of HARD drive option is available if you press the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer. The exact procedure is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  Alternative, you can take the Toshiba recovery disc. This will also restore the original settings. :)

• Satellite P100-160 - how to connect the camcorder?

  Hi all!

  Can anyone can advise, try to connect the Sony camcorder with 4 pin i.link, but can't seem to connect the two devices.

  I have AC power on the camera, tried to use the other movie maker, adobe, etc. no joy.
  is thinking why is this?
  Thank you

  Hello!

  As Garrett Satellite P100 supports the firewire port.

  Normally, the port is always on and you need an application that does not recognize your camcorder correctly. You can then copy the videos on your laptop.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

  I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

  Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

  Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

  In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

  Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

  I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

  I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

  My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

  What would you recommend I do?
  My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

  Hey,.

  Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

  So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

• Re: Satellite P100-160 - failed display driver installation

  Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, 32-bit vista.

  Today, Aero is not working and not available in graphics properties. Later installed the site of Toshiba UK, 15.0.1.1114 Intel display driver. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe she was the only availabel that it must be correct.

  The driver installation failed with an error (no details don't just "year error has occurred"). Now, I don't have aero and my screen resolution cannot be set above 1280 x 800 - 1440 x 900 is expected

  To say that I'm pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? Thank you

  Hey,.

  If Aero is not available I think that it s display driver problem

  In any case, did you remove the old display driver before installing a new? Go to Device Manager > right click on the graphics card > uninstall. After the restart the display driver must be uninstalled and you can start with the display driver installation.

  If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Reboot once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.

• Question about the update of value added for the Satellite P100-160 package

  Hello

  I got an email off the coast of Toshiba today telling me there is a value added package update available (PVAT (v1.0.25).
  I downloaded and unpacked. It contains three options:
  2 don't buttons, button 6, no button but there is no readme etc to tell me which version is my P100-160.

  I have added, trying to install one of them gives me an error that it has already installed older versions that should be deleted everything first.

  Can someone advise please that I should use?
  Thank you!

  Hi guys

  Value added package contains many different Toshiba and utility tools!
  Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAA series! So, you should always choose this series if you want to download the drivers from the Toshiba page!
  This number can be checked on the bottom of the unit.

  I visited the page of the Toshiba driver and checked the details.
  You will find an info that this package installs a range of important public services.
  -TOSHIBA components common Driver: this module is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
  -TOSHIBA Power Saver: The energy saver controls energy by opting for optimal power settings, if the machine is connected or battery-based knowledge and based on the remaining battery power.
  -TOSHIBA utility: this program allows you to customize the settings of your hardware, depending on how you work with your computer and the devices you use. To start the utility, click the Start button and select Control Panel, and select Configuration HW TOSHIBA icon.
  -TOSHIBA password utility: this utility allows you to set a password that restricts access to the computer.
  -TOSHIBA Flash Cards: This utility provides the Hotkey function and the function of pitcher who starts the keyboard shortcut function and sends the other TOSHIBA utilities.
  -TOSHIBA PC Di

  In my opinion, if you want to update the package of value added, you must remove all the tools of this and after new reboot you must install it again

• Satellite P100-160 - system does not boot

  Hi all

  I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a problem I have with my Satellite P100-160.
  I was using it the other night without power connected when my battery ran out and he stopped.
  When I reconnected the power and it works I got the usual message asking if I wanted to start as normal I did.
  To do this i Gets the icon in the lower right corner telling me the system was trying to install a new mass storage device driver.

  He couldn't find it and I haven't added or removed something in my system.
  When I stopped and went to the re - start the next time, I received a message on the start screen in the sense of:
  error
  conflict of resources - controllers USB bus pci motherboard bus: 0a, device: function 04:01

  error
  resource conflict - controller mass storage of the pci on motherboard bus: 0a, device 04 function 02

  error
  resources - bus pci motherboard conflict: 0a, device: 04, function 03

  Press F1 to resume F2 to Setup

  I cannot go into the installer, but if I take the system just hangs and stop all the hard disk activity. I have managed to do successfully start once but no more, can't get into safe mode or anything. When I have it at my local computer store the guy he looked the error and said: it's broken, the motherboard has gone and there is nothing I can do with it. Im very disappointed that the laptop is only 2 years old and I would have thought that it would last longer than that.

  So my question s are the right guys, it's broken or is there something that can be done with it? If it is broken I can access the contents of my hard drive with another laptop (the guy from the store said something on to using a hard disk enclosure and use it as an external hard drive?)

  Thanks in advance for any advice

  Hello

  It seems that the motherboard is affected
  In the message error - bus motherboard pci resource conflict: 0a, device: 04, function 03 the motherboard is mentioned, so everything looks like motherboard failure.
  But to be 100% sure you should ask the authorized Toshiba service provider of the opinion.

  Good luck

• Satellite P100-160 with Vista: No TV-OUT after downgrade to XP

  Hi guys hope you can help me out here...

  I recently bought a laptop (satellite p100-160) with Vista on it to know that it was not compatible with wot I bought dethrone so I decided to downgarde for XP Home Edition... Solange decommissioning that I had to install a few drivers like there's do and everything went well...

  Anyway, a few weeks later (yesterday), I went to watch a movie and when I pluged in my tv out cable, I have nothing. I tried to unplug and plug in again a few times but still nothing, it normally switches on in about 20 seconds... So im guessing that either I need to a driver or a Summit.

  Can someone help me out here?

  Thanks a lot

  You n t need a special driver to use the s-video port.
  You must install only the compatible graphics driver.

  How have you tried to switch to the TV device?
  Have you used the FN + F5 key combination?
  You should do this.

  Connect the TV to the laptop using the s-video port. Then select the s-video on the TV and choose the right channel.
  Press the FN + F5 several times until you get a picture on the TV.

  Please note; Don t start the DVD software like DVD win until you have not enabled on TV!

• Satellite P100-160, not compatible with the latest games graphics card

  My laptop is the Satellite P100-160, which has a 945GM Express chipset is not able to play the latest games. I understand that the graphic card cannot be replaced. So, which eliminates this option...

  Recently, another solution I've heard of is an external graphics such as the Asus XG station...
  http://www.Trustedreviews.com/graphics/News/2007/01/15/ASUS-makes-first-external-laptop-graphics-card/P1
  either this...
  http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20070611/MSI-luxium-offers-external-graphics-solution-for-notebooks/

  However these devices large need an express card slot, which I'm not sure that this laptop has even?

  If it's not there ways to add to my laptop? And if not, what other options are available to me that may help my laptop to face the latest games?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hello

  The Intel graphics card is simply not powerful enough to handle the latest PC games.
  You think so, why all the hardcore gamer don t buy computers laptops, but during the CPU clock and buy new graphics for PC s Office cards?

  The laptop is not comparable with the desktop PC. It's just different technology according to the limitations of hardware upgrade on your laptop, you can spend only the HARD drive and RAM.
  You cannot add also all other ports for laptop. It is not possible :(

• Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

  My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

  Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

  Best regards

  Yvonne

  Hello

  You need description step by step? Come on man :)

  Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
  Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

  In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

  Best regards

  Goodbye ;)
