• Satellite P300D-130 - activate the AHCI on Windows XP mode

  Hello

  I recently bought this laptop and replace Vista by XP to get performance for games.
  I've been reading about SATA (AHCI mode) and WinXP and for the installation, I put the Bios on the compatibility.
  But now I want to install the AHCI drivers but its almost impossible. So please help me!

  My computer:
  Toshiba Satellite P300D-130 (PSPDCE)
  Chipset: AMD 780G
  hard drive: TOSHIBA MK3252GSX
  Southbridge: ATI SB700
  I found a tutorial to install the drivers:
  [http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/07/27/how-to-enable-ahci-windows-xp/]
  [http://www.tt-hardware.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11513] (in french) that they use the driver intel, very simple, with intel, why not with amd?

  But the big problem is to find the driver: in this forum, I see some post reported the drivers are in the display driver in a folder SBDrv name, but it does not work!

  So I did some research on google, ati and amd Web site and I found some drivers and has tested them without any result: still the same message when I try to update the drivers: "the specified location contains no information about your hardware."

  Here's a screenshot of my hardware:

  Thanks (and sorry for my bad English)

  On AMD laptops such as yours, you should display driver.
  The display driver contains the SATA driver to a Windows XP installation on a functional level. The driver, you can also find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  If you downloaded the driver you have two options: you can copy the driver on an external floppy drive and load it after booting from the CD with F6 or you build your own installation with nLite disk: [www.nliteos.com]
  I did good experiences with nLite. It s a nice and easy to use tool.

  Hello

  Start-up of facilities you have to load the SATA driver. I think that your laptop has a Chipset Mobile Intel® GL960 Express with code CrestlineGM + ICH8-M name.

  When WXP facilities charge ICH8 SATA driver. You can find it under http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/stormng-20070827133046.zip

• Satellite 1605cds: RAM has not reported in Windows 2000

  Hello

  I have a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite 1605cds/4.3 (amd k6-2 450 mhz basic system).
  It has 32 MB of ram on board and a dimm slot - so put in a memory of 128 MB.

  But I read this Web page:

  http://fandelem.com/toshiba2.html

  where it says it can be improved with a 256 MB memory module!

  I have it plugged in and it correctly sees 288 MB (32 MB onboard 256 MB on housing) in the bios.
  When I boot from the partition of Windows 98 Second edition, it shows the 288 amount of ram.

  .. .but when I boot on the partition of Windows 2000 Professional, it displays a blue screen saying that the bios is not an improved ACPI bios. It says that I have to push the F7 key during the installation of Windows 2000 to disable ACPI and install HAL.

  But if I remove the 256 MB slot, Windows 2000 starts correctly without any problem.

  I tried to reinstall Windows 2000 by pushing the F7 key during installation, but then Windows 2000 shows that the 32 MB of ram.

  So, what can I do to run Windows 2000 and 256 MB module?
  The bios is the last that can be downloaded on the web page of toshiba.

  Thanks to all and sorry for my English.

  Hello

  According to your description W2k said to update the layer HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). In Windows 2000, there are several ways to solve the problems associated with the material (HAL, Hardware Abstraction Layer) Abstraction layer that may occur due to bad detection, an obsolete or non compliant Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) or incorrectly installed computer type or manually.

  For more information, please see this Microsoft support site:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/237556

  But as I know Toshiba supports the 128 MB only on this unit and if you want to use more ram you can do at your own risk!

• Satellite L450D - 11H - can I downgrade to Windows XP?

  Hi guys

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L450D - 11 H with the following specifications

  -AMD Sempron Processor TR-42
  -DVD - RW SuperMulti drive (Double Layer)
  -1024 MB DDR RAM (800 MHz)
  -15.6 "screen (1366 x 768) TruBrite high brightness

  I was wondering if there is anyway to downgrade my current Windows 7 to Windows XP...

  Thank you guys

  Hello

  I checked the website and Toshiba Satellite L450D, it only shows the drivers for Windows 7.

  Of course, you can install Windows XP, but in this case you need to collect the drivers on external Web sites because Toshiba provides only Windows 7 drivers.
  To find the drivers for Windows XP you should ask Google, perhaps you can find some drivers that they will work.

  But I m wondering you want to downgrade to XP. In my opinion windows 7 works quite well and I m pleased to new OS from Microsoft.

• Satellite P300D - h - 13 (PSPDCE) - cannot use full 8 GB of RAM

  Hello!

  Originally on my laptop's RAM 2x2gb. Given that the fromToshiba of the said sheet max of 8 GB (8192 MB) of RAM (DDR2) is possible, I bought 2 x 4 GB (800 MHz, CL6, DDR2, SoDimm - specifications are the same as the original ones). After installation I tried to start the computer, so it is passed the POST and BIOS see all 8192 MB and when it starts to boot the operating system it just go in to reset. I can stop it with button / stop. The installed operating system is Windows 7 64 bit. I also tried with Linux and had the same problem. I tried with only one set of 4GB (but two of them), but still no luck. New memmory is correct because I tested it on another computer and it works without any problem. So there must be a computer problem. I have the latest BIOS 3.30. I called toshiba and they said it should work with any producer's memory as long as they are DDR2 SoDimm.

  No idea what can be wrong or todo?

  Kind regards
  Sasa

  Hey Buddy,

  If Windows doesn't start with new RAM modules, this could mean that the RAM modules are faulty or not compatible with the laptop itself. All the modules of memory compatible with all laptops. What brand of memory is?

  In your case I would try it with pre-tested Toshiba memory modules. You can buy these modules to a service allowed in your country. I searched a bit using Google and the part number for 4 GB of DDR2-800 is PA3670U-1M4G.

• HIDData.exe has stopped working in Windows Vista SP2

  I am running Windows Vista w/SP2 on a Compaq CQ70 w/an Intel T3200 2.0 ghz processor. I recently installed a USB Bluetooth device. I get the error "HIDData.exe stopped working" reported before with a USB Bluetooth mouse. Every avenue, I used to try to find a solution show KB941600 cumulative update installation. However, when I started to install the update, I learned that it is applied to a different operating system than the one on my computer. I guess that's because it applies to Windows Vista without SP2 installed. Is there a way to solve this problem for the updated Vista version?

  Hi IXOYE4Us,

  This error may occur due to the old version of the HP Quick Launch Button software. If you have installed a HP Quick Launch toolbar, then you can try to disable the toolbar HP Quick launch at startup or uninstall it and check.

  You can try to perform a clean boot and try disabling the HP Quick launch at startup toolbar.

• recently upgraded to windows xp sp2 from sp1, now computer hangs at startup upward?

  Someone has no solution to the freezing at the start up

  If you have been running XP SP1 and everything just recently installed SP2, then I would be shocked to learn that your computer had not been infested with malware.  XP SP2 has not been supported for some time now and there has been no updates released for XP SP1 or XP SP2.  Without SP3 installed, your computer is a duck sitting for malware.

  I suggest that get rid you your computer of malicious software to reformat and reinstall Windows XP.  Then, immediately, before all else, install all the essential and important updates, including Service Packs.

  Be sure to only install a good antivirus before you venture out to surf the internet.

• Satellite P300D - is there a VAP for x 64 Windows available?

  Y at - it a x 64 VAP for Windows Vista or Windows 7, which will focus on a Satellite P300D?

  Hey mate,

  It seems that no 64 bit package of added value for Satellite P300D and Windows 7 is available at this time.
  Maybe it will be released in the coming days or weeks

  But what you can do is to try the value-added package for Vista x 64. The link that you posted shows VAP 64 bit and you should try this. Maybe it will work

  In addition, you can give us feedback on this subject. I am interested in.

• Satellite P300D-h-13 - Impossible to activate the TV-out

  Hello

  I have the Satellite P300D-h-13 pspdce, OS win 7 64 bit and latest display drivers.
  I've been running an extended desktop to my TV with Vista without problem.

  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 7. My graphics card is unable to detect even a TV, even when I do a forced hardware detection.
  I connect with an s-video cable.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and found a BIOS specially for Win 7 64 bit.
  In fact it s a version 3.30.
  I recommend the update to this BIOS!

  Finally, you need to update the display driver.
  Usually, you should be able to get on TV by using the FN + F5 key combination.

  FN keys will not work if you install the VAP (value added package)

• Satellite P300D: Win XP problem display & webcam driver

  Just bought the P300D Satellite with amd and active almost managed to XP operating system.
  Fortunatelly Toshiba provides enough drivers XP but the series driver and webcam driver ATI does not work.

  The ATI installer does not recognize the hardware and the driver for the webcam is not found.

  All advice that I was wrong?

  Hello

  The Toshiba driver page seems offers XP drivers for four different sets of Satellite P300D!
  Have you chosen the series laptop right from the driver download form?

  What version of operating system XP do you have installed?
  From my own experience, you need a XP with SP2.

  Don t install SP3 before you install not XP drivers on the laptop.
  Even if the driver XP Toshiba have been installed on your laptop I would test the laptop without SP3 installed due to some compatibility problems.

  Good bye
