Satellite P300-150: Boot xp-vista & only 3 GB of memory with the xp

Hello

I have a Satellite P300-150 and I have two problems:

(1) I install XP in my second partition and I can't boot to vista, I can start only for XP

(2) I have install Windows XP Pro SP2, but Windows only shows 3 GB

Thank you
Fotis

Hello

> 1) I install XP in my second partition and I can't boot to vista, I can start only for XP
The problem is known to me I installed the XP too on my laptop and after installing XP, I was not able to start the Vista because XP destroyed the Vista boot Manger!

If you need now a Microsoft Vista DVD original (not Toshiba DVD recovery) and you should boot from the Vista DVD. This allows to repair the Vista Boot Manager.
Then, you will be able to boot into the Vista operating system. Then, install the free tool called EasyBCD.
This tool allows you to change the Vista Boot Manager and add the XP operating system to the Boot Manager.

(> 2) I install Windows XP Pro SP2, but Windows only shows 3 GB
I guess that your XP is a 32 bit OS and so he can see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
More details you can find on the Microsoft page

Good bye

  • Satellite P300 - 150 PSPC4E: can't get slot Express Card work with XP

    Hello.

    I downgraded to XP on my machine and unfortunetly I am unable to get the Express card slot to work.

    The Intel chipset on the Toshiba site drivers do not have not anything.

    I'm trying to get an eSata port works thanks to the Express card as I did with Vista, but not with joy at all.

    Any ideas?

    Concerning
    Rob

    Go to the Device Manager and check if the Express card is installed properly, or if its an error.

    You must update the BIOS with the latest version. BIOS updates can sometimes solve problems like this.

    And make sure you have XP Service Pack 2 or 3 installed.

  • What can be done to improve the performance of the Satellite P300-150

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300-150.
    It seems powerful enough but struggles with some of the latest games.
    It s not my main but game machine I m aware if he's struggling now, it won t well before he won t be able to run at all.

    And I wouldn't be able to play on the move...

    What can be done to increase the capabilities of the laptop - like tweaks, tools and upgrades?

    Thank you
    Max

    Hello

    You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
    The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
    In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.

    Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.

    Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)

  • How can I configure the keys easy to work with iTunes on Satellite P300-150?

    I have a Satellite P300-150. The easy (the illuminated keys above the keyboard) keys work fine when iTunes is in the foreground, but I want them to work when I minimized iTunes or switch to another window. I found the "TOSHIBA button Support" utility help within TOSHIBA, but it only allows me to set it up as the "Enlightenment" and "CD/DVD" [drive] (the two left most) easy keys make...

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you.

    I doubt that this is possible
    I m using the WinAmp instead of Windows Media Player and the CD/DVD button works with Winamp. I want to say I can run Winamp by pressing this button, but I can't use the game, break, buttons forward in WinAmp.
    I think that it is not possible also with ITunes I've never tested, but it seems that it s not configurable.

  • Satellite P300-150: slow processor during the test with the id tool intel

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite P300-150 and it was working well in general... play lotro with few problems, but not in dx10 cos it chuggs as hell.

    I noticed he had a genuine problem of warhead of the crisis in the recommended settings, but thought it was just cos he couldn't do.

    But I downloaded the untilty of Intel processor id and he gave the following results... as you can see on the bottom 4 lines the processor is very upset with the expected results for the frequency and buses (fewer than half actually).

    Intel recommends if there is a huge gap, I need to contact the manufacturer... which brought me here.
    Any advice before contacting tech support directly?
    Just maybe I can play warhead after all! : o).

    Hello

    Satellite P300-150 was equipped with the Intel Core 2 Penryn T8300 processor.
    This processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.

    Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the tension and the processor core frequency. This means that the CPU doesn't always work with maximum performance, but only if it of needed. This helps minimize the heat dissipation and allows to secure the battery energy!

    The CPU seems to be slow check with the Intel ID tool ;)

  • Installation of drive HARD recovery does not start on Satellite P300-150

    I have a 2008 Satellite P300-150 I want to restore factory settings.

    I followed the steps described in the manual of s to do it from the hard disk (F8 at startup), however, when I try, a screen will appear with a warning with the topic box"system recovery options"then below says "cannot start the installed program. Click ok to turn off the computer.

    I don't know m which is better to do it now if someone could suggest another way to do this, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

    The situation is quite simple to explain. Recovery image installation can be done on two tracks:
    -using the HARD drive recovery or
    -using the create recovery DVDs.

    I put t know if you created this disk after advice from Toshiba, but if you use for the installation of operating system.

    By the way: Satellite P300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit, so if there is a way to install do. It works much better than original Vista.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome. ;)

  • Satellite P300-150 - impossible to record all sounds

    Hello, someone has an idea why it is not possible to record all the sounds (for example with the Audacity software)? -Other classes of water-recorder do not work too...

    Demand for Win "SndVol32.exe" shows that as a result of input sources: Mic and Line in French - output, it is shown SW-Synth., wave, CD player and Master Volume. -In the case of P300, Mic is in fact only to the webcam mode. On my old P20-852, here I could record the flow of the web and for expl WMP 10. and sometimes I use it for the soundtrack of the synthesizers installed.

    I have de - and reinstalled the rather (Conexant August 2008 version) and a newer version of SndVol32.exe... I tried with a new installation of XP on a 2nd partition program... same result. What's the reason, because I have a modification nLite XP Pro SP3? -My laptop is a Satellite P300-150 /PSPC4E

    Sorry, I have not analyzed all the discussions for an answer to my probs.

    Sincere friendships of Chris

    Normally it should not be a problem to record sounds with a installed and modified Windows XP with nLite.

    But have you tried to install the laptop with the recovery disk? Try this!
    The recovery disk contains all the drivers and tools to use all functions on the laptop and it should work.

    You can format the USB on the laptop, and you can see it in disk management?
    Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?

    This shouldn't be a problem with the USB ports, I think that the USB have some errors.

  • Re: Satellite P300-150 and HDD upgrade

    Hi, my wife Laptop(P300-150) has developed a tick unit HDD1 - I would like to replace this 250 GB drive with other, larger capacity HARD drive. So my question is twofold

    (1) what is the maximum size of disk HARD of this laptop can tolerate? -500 GB?
    (2) does it matter if I buy a SATA - II - when the original disc in a SATA drive?

    Thanks in advance
    IMM

    Unfortunately there is no document where you can find this info on the maximum capacity of the HARD drive that can be used with the Satellite P300 but I m 100% sure you can use 500 GB on Satellite P300.

    I don't know if your laptop has a SATA II controller but, as far as I know, SATA II is backward compatible and I think you can use it on your laptop, but it runs with SATA that access speed.

    Upgrade disk SATA I HARD and you will be happy with it.

  • Satellite P300 150 - need of the product recovery disc

    My Toshiba P300 150 was delivered today and I mess things up. I got a Toshiba P200 product recovery in the P300. I am not able to get on the desktop, because everything was erased when I put the P200 product recovery disc in the new laptop.

    I'm not able to get the recovery of Toshiba products until January 7, because the site is down.

    I'm so desperate, so if anyone has the same laptop, I would be very grateful if you would be able to make a copy of the recovery of product, just send me an email if you are able to help.

    Hello!

    Why you insert the recovery since a P200 laptop disk? When you get a Toshiba laptop it s all preinstalled Windows, drivers and tools.

    It s a user to user forum and I think that it s not allowed to copy these disks. ;)

    But you can also get a new drive to an ASP (authorized service provider). Here you can find one:

    If it starts on the desktop in safemode, I suspect involvement of conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I would like you to put your computer in a clean boot State. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
