Satellite P20: sometimes Windows boot with no sound

• Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Dual boot with Ubuntu based distributions

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)

  I would like to set up my computer to dual boot with Windows 8.1 (x 64) and Zorin OS 9.1 (64-bit).

  ZORIN OS is a derivative of Ubuntu which maintains a binary compatibility with Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu and Zorin use the same drivers and can run the same applications. John Damascene is more or less just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment and some additional preinstalled applications.

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  NOTE: I prefer to do things using graphical interfaces, rather than the CLI. I don't mind given CLI instructions; also just showed me the GUI equivalents if possible. I use the CLI if there is no alternative.

  Hello

  See my responses / comments among your questions (I took part of your message and inserted here):

  So far, I know that I need to disable the QuickStart Windows 8.1. What I have to do something else (for example disable Secure Boot, CSM, etc.)?

  Answer: If you want to dual-boot, do NOT select WSC as preventing Windows to start.
  You shouldn't have to disable startup secure either, but I can't promise that. I think that Ubuntu 14 has support for secure boot.

  In addition, my Ultrabook comes with 2 hard drives: 500 GB HARD drive and a 30 GB SSD. Windows uses the HARD disk for storage and for implementing SSD caching, through technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to set up John of Damascus to do so (preferably without disabling caching on Windows)?

  Answer: No, I don't think that there is a way to use the SSD in Zorin without making it unusable for Windows.
  Suggestion - let it be.

• Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

  I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
  I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

  However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
  Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

  Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
  Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

  I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

  If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

• Satellite M30x - bootsequence Windows XP with blue screen

  I have the following problem: I have 2 different Satellite M Series notebooks of performance!

  The problem, that I wonder happens 100% of the tests, but after turning on the computer laptop and after the bootsequence - at the present time, that the windows XP logo appears - the system halts with a blue screen. Turn to restart and falls into the next blue screen.

  The only thing I discovered is that XP regularly also begins long switch WLAN hardware is turned OFF as soon as I turn this switch with Windows, the blue screen occurs immediately and the system runs out of oil.

  is that what is anyone able to help? -new review of pilots or any other solution to the problem would be appreciated!

  Hansjoerg

  Hey,.

  Congratulations, you have already found the problem! :)

  From my own experience, I can tell you that the same thing happened to a friend of mine. So he replaced the WLAN card with a new one and the problem has been resolved! Windows starts with WLAN turn on () correctly!

  What WLAN card is installed on your laptop?
  In Satellite M30x of my friend a WLAN Wireless Intel 2200 card has been installed. He bought a new one for little money on eBay and replaced it yourself because it s not very delicate.

  So take a look on eBay or other places. You can also ask a maintainer approved assistance if you are not familiar with the disassembly of the laptop.

• Satellite L450-171 - Dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP

  Hi all
  I bought a Satellite L450-171 with pre-installation of Windows 7. For reasons of compatibility, I installed Windows xp on an another computer partitition.

  But in the marketing, I don't see the two operating systems. I don't see Windows xp.

  Please how can I do to be able to also run Windows 7?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi josedunet_1,

  Normally the start menu where you can change between the two BONES will be created if you install XP first and than Windows 7.

  Now in your case, you need to change the boot sector. Therefore, you can use a tool with GUI like EasyBCD. You can manage it in just a few clicks.
  Check it! ;)

• Satellite Pro U500 - multi-boot with Win 7 and Win XP

  Good gentlemen,

  Please help me with this query I have.

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U500 with Windows 7 installed. I also have a TOSHIBA Windows XP product supplied with the laptop recovery DVDs. Was told I could downgrade to XP with the DVD.

  I want to install Win XP in addition to the existing installation of Windows 7 on a different partition, I intend to create.
  Can I create a create a separate partition and then use the recovery TOSHIBA Windows XP product DVD to install Win XP on it?

  Am just worried I might spoil the on the laptop's recovery partition?

  Basically, I want to be able to run the current Windows 7 and Win XP on my machine and want to know the best way to do it without damaging the existing TOSHIBA recovery partitions.

  I want to use the recovery DVDs TOSHIBA Windows XP product to install XP on a new partition with windows 7 OS.

  Thank you

  STRAPPING

  Hi-band,
  + downgrade to xp + means that you are not allowed to use your win7 installation any longer...

  ask problem "dual-boot":
  burn a DVD restore *, choose from the start menu

  After that, you can choose partition wich you like "sacrifice" for xp and install it...
  XP can't 'see' the install of win7, but you need a Boot Manager to boot both systems (xp is crushing the win7 boot code)

  or you go the other way:
  installation of xp and then install win7
  This has the advantage that win7 offers you the ability to boot xp from the bootmenu.
  in both options, you lose the hard drive recovery!

• Satellite Pro L300 - Dual boot with the AHCI mode

  Product series > Satellite Pro L series
  Model > Satellite Pro L300 24L
  Model short-term > PSLB9E

  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.
  Marc

  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.

• Satellite L30-105 Dual Boot with XP Possible

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-105, and while I do not particularly like Vista, I need to keep it for various reasons. However, I must also now use the laptop with a piece of hardware (a North G2 synthesizer) who does no Vista drivers.

  So I think the best thing I can do is to create a dual boot system, but a lot of articles on the net say you need from your CD original Vista, and of course the laptop does not come with one.

  So what I want to do possible? And there at - it a guide for how to do this? I have an XP license and the CD that I can use for this.

  Hello

  I installed the XP and Vista on my laptop.
  It was a little difficult because the XP installation crushed the Vista MBR (master boot record) and the Boot Manager.
  But I solved it by using the original CD of Vista. I had to borrow from a friend.

  I booted from CD of Vista and it repaired the Vista Boot Manager.
  Then I installed the tool called EasyBCD and set up the Vistas Boot Manager.

  That helped get XP and Vista on two different partitions.

  Did you notice the same problem when using original Windows 64-bit Home Premium that you got with your laptop?

• Satellite P20-761: Windows will not start - it loads agp.sys then freezes

  When I pass my laptop it starts with the Toshiba logo as if commissioning, but then the screen goes black with the following message:

  We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware of software change might have caused this... etc etc.

  Then I have a list of options to choose from:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good known Configuration
  Start windows normally

  If I have the choice between the options of safe mode the screen goes through a list of files ending with: multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVE.sys, then freezes.

  If I have the choice between the last two options simply, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

  Of I'm desperate is not to lose all the data that I have accumulated on the laptop. Stupid me not a not bother with backups.

  Discs only can I find supplied with the laptop are 'tools and utilities' and 'product recovery dvd - rom '. Seeing that I am not a technical interest, I'm afraid to try just in case I lose all my most important files.

  Help, please! Answers must be plain English as like I said I'm not really technical. Thank you. I cross my fingers.

  Sounds like something wrong with the graphics card or with the graphics driver.

  I think that you have no other choice than to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and attempt to reinstall the OS. I hope that the graphics card doesn t malfunctions.

  It's very sad, because in this case, you will lose the data on the HARD drive.
  Optionally, you can remove the HARD drive and then to connect to little via the USB port on the other computer, then you can make a backup of your data.

• Satellite A300 and Windows 7

  Hi all. First of all I am sorry for my bad English - I to little practice.

  Can I transfer my win Vista sp2 (x 32) to Win7 (x 32) on my laptop Satellite A300-1QF (?) PSAGCE-06F00JRU)?
  Is there any trouble with drivers/devices/something else? If it is, are there ways to avoid?
  I hate vista (((want to try vin7)))

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  At first, I must say that I don't know what you mean under transfer.
  I have Satellite A300 and dual boot with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 so I can say that Satellite A300 works perfectly with Win7, much better then Vista.

  What you can do is:
  # To upgrade Vista preinstalled for Win7 (the two 32-bit) or
  # Install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  If you need help let us know.

• No wireless LAN on Satellite P20

  As my computer laptop Satellite P20 did´t come with a wireless solution I've manually updated with the PA3212U-3MPC wireless LAN card.
  The LAN cable taken in charge connects perfectly, but I can´t get the hook wireless to work not at all!

  Device Manager tells me fine everything´s, DSL provider, too...
  Toshiba said manual, automatic pilots of Windows Xp would be fine with a 802.11.b configuration.

  So why is it?
  Someone at - it ideas, please?

  Hello

  The card recognized and listed in the Device Manager? If yes the card is correctly activated (switch WiFi and FN + F8 key combination)? If so are there signs of WLAN in your neighborhood?

  By the way: has you connect the antenna cable correctly (white main cable and black to the)?

• Satellite P20 S203: how to change the graphics card memory

  My laptop has 32 MB graphics card I was wondering how I would improve my Vram to 64. What I do how would be, where would it be and what I have to install?

  Thank you

  To my knowledge, the Satellite P20 S203 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32 MB of video ram. But this isn't a shared memory graphics card!
  In this case, you cannot change the settings of video ram.

  In addition he s is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. Unfortunately, there is nothing to see ;(

• No sound in Windows 7 with Boot Camp 4

  On a Mac Mini 32-bit running Windows 7 with Boot Camp 4. I use this set to the top due to other software, I need that requires 32 bits.  There is no noise from the CPU itself, no making helmet. I get the Mac sound at the start of the central unit, then Windows starts normally.  On the Device Manager in Windows two audio devices are: high definition Audio Device and display Intel. The State of the device on these two said they operate both correctly. I have an another Mac Mini that the sound is not working properly, and there a Cirrus S4206B. I tried to find how to add this device and driver for the CPU problem, but in vain.

  The audio works normally on the side of OS X?

  Check if the analog-to-digital composite on the mini has a Dim red light.

  Run msinfo32 on the side Windows and after return your BIOS setting.

  In Device Manager, click view and enable devices show hidden. See all device Cirrus?
