Satellite P300 PSPC4A - BIOS no updates required for Win 7?

I have a Satellite P300 (PSPC4A-03P01P)
Currently 2 hard drives, both are partitioned.
Disc 1 - C and D
Disc 2 - F and G
Current operating system on the C drive is OEM Vista 32-bit HP
BIOS version is V4.20. 05/01/09

I want to upgrade the Win - 7 HP 64-bit operating system
I know that this will require a format the C partition.

In preparation, I downloaded all the drivers for Win 7 64 bit

My Questions:

The BIOS will require the update to support 64-bit?

If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
Or these partitions will also require formatting?

Thanks for any help

Hello

There is no relationship between the BIOS and the operating system. Thus, you need not upgrade Bios for Win 64 bit.

> If partitions D, F and G are left intact, Win-7 64-bit on the C drive will be able to read?
> Or those partitions will also require formatting?

You can install the Os on C: and it will be able to read information on other partitions too.

  • Satellite P300 (PSPC4E) - BIOS is damaged

    I have some problems with my Toshiba Satellite P300 (PSPC4E).
    The BIOS is damaged and I am trying to get it back.

    I disconnected the battery, HDD and DVD.

    I managed to create a USB startup disk using the USB HP and CrisDisk.
    It was empty after I run it. I copied the three files into it, PHLASH16. EXE, Autoexec.bat and my laptops bios, named bios.wph (version 4.20).
    CrisDisk using the required files are transferred automatically.
    I tried plant key combinations, following the instructions of starting (USB->-> start button / stop power cord), such as the FN/WIN + B / F, FN/WIN + ESC.

    When I boot with FN/WIN + B / F, it starts only upward 'normally', all the lights on and the screen remains black. USB is not flash or anything.
    Using FN + ESC is another story, well that without LEDs light up, except for the power button.
    The USB flashes, for a few seconds, and shortly after, the laptop starts to beep.
    When I say beep, it really will beep, loud and clear that h * l! 1 long beep 2 short beeps, who will be permanently.

    I left it for about 10-15 minutes, but nothing happened. The tones were really strong, so I stopped it.
    I tried to make the combination of keys without connecting to USB, and it did the same thing, 1 long + 2 beeps.

    So, I'm doing something wrong here?
    Also, I wonder if it is possible to reduce the volume of the beeps.

    Would be really grateful for any help I can get.

    Or failing that, some general tips on an adapter compatible Please, I bought an adapter for the correct base - 19V, 3 specification. 95 a, (75W), Connector (PA3715E-1ACE) 2.5/5.5mm however, it does not work. The toshiba site lists another card of the same specs (PA3468E-1AC3) but I am reluctant to risk without being sure that it is just to buy it. I'd be happy to buy a universal adapter but only a high quality which will not be an electrical danger.

    Hey Buddy,

    You can search for options and accessories here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/PC-options-Accessories-EU/

    Why you need an email at Toshiba?
    If you have questions about spare parts, you must contact a Toshiba instead authorized service provider.

    In general, I would recommend the original adapter because it of tested and designed for your laptop. With other words, it s a product of high quality.

  • Compaq DV7800: A Bios Configuration is required for the PCIE graphics card

    HII

    I have a small form factor dc 7800 Desktop

    And I also have a Nvidia 8600GT graphics card

    When I mount the graphics card on the computer PCIe slot

    would you like to work in VGA connector and when I use tha Port DVI form map

    Nothing... So I need a Bios Config to work?

    For the factor, I put the motherboard can configure the card

    I have all the equipment, power supply, HARD drive...

    Can you help me?

    Thank you

    This card is perhaps too powerful to 240W power supply that has your PC.

    I would go with a less powerful card like the Radeon HD 6450.

    Also before installing the video card, uninstall you the card integrated Intel graphics and check the driver to uninstall before installing the nvidia card?

    NVIDIA used to list the current of each of their cards, but now when I click on the sheet for the 8600 GT, I get very little info.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-8600-GT/specifications

    The PCI x 16 slot in your PC has a certain power of only 25W max draw and I'm sure that the 8600 GT draws more power than that.

  • Missing satellite C870 - 11G - "SM BUS controller driver" for Win 7 64 bit

    Good afternoon

    After extensive research of the forums, I was unable to find a solution so far.

    A few months ago, after the demise of his previous Satellite, my friend has acquired a Satellite C870 - 11G on Windows 7 (64-bit).

    She acquire the machine online from PC World, and after that make the updates of windows put in place using the Zonealarm free firewall & 2013 AVG antivirus free. We have installed the Microsoft Office 365 and the bundled drivers for HP Deskjet F4180 sound.

    Initially, everything went very well, but a month ago, the machine does not recognize the printer.

    After the troubleshooting thing, the machine has reported a "SM BUS controller driver" as being missing.

    "Search etc, after much net more faffing autour with the restoration of the system", I could not yet set and so went to the "nuclear" option i.e. I backed up all its data and doing a complete reset of the recovery partition.

    We have gradually been put back together, reload its data, re-installing of ZoneAlarm and AVG, Picassa & Office 365. Yesterday I went to re - install printer drivers, but before doing so checked Device Manager to see that the error "SM BUS controller driver is missing" was. Grrrrr...

    I tried to use system restore to return point of restoration of a restore point but that too now fails every time with error (0x80070005).

    Before we go again nuclear, anyone has any ideas please...?

    Best regards & thanks in advance.

    Try please reinstall the chipset driver. I found this for your machine and you can download it here.

    Test it please and post comments.

    Hello

    I have been stuck in a long convo the techsupportforum courses and was finally told to try here.

    So, I own a C850D PSCC2E - 11 c Satellite with Windows 7 x 64.

    I can't find the driver of my laptop chipset in the list of drivers.
    I first tried to install all the drivers available, but it is obvious without a chipset, I'm having problems, and I do it.
    USB ports do not work as they should etc.

    Where is the driver for chipset for the C850D PSCC2E - 11 c?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Your laptop is equipped with a graphics chip Ati (AMD).
    This means that the chipset too AMD.
    According to some information that I found on internet, AMD A68M chipset should be built in Notepad.

    Furthermore AFAIK ATI chipset driver is part of the ATI/AMD graphics card driver and that's why you should install the GPU driver for the installed chipset driver
