Satellite Pro A30 with BIOS not fully ACPI compatible for VISTA

I would use my beloved sitting Pro A30 to dual boot with Windows XP Home edition and Vista but having bought a 80 gig HARD drive and would divide in 2 partitions, I have now WXP SP2 running on the first partition, but try to install vista on the second I get the message: "BIOS IS NOT FULLY ACPI COMPLIANT".

I ran the compatibility of vista online check and gave the OK and have the latest version of the bios v1.80. Do I have to buy a laptop?

Yes. Your laptop is not supported in Vista. Sorry but there is no chance of having Vista BIOS support.

  • "Stop 0x000000A5 the BIOS of the system is not fully ACPI-compatible every time as the installation of a new windows 7 integral over Inspiron 15R N5110.

    Hello

    I have installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on many brands of laptops, but when I installed it on Inspiron 15R N5110, (core i5 and 4GBRAM). I faced an error at startup of windows 7 after completing the installation.
    NOTE: When the installation finished and restarted my computer, this window shown to me.

    Two options from the two options above I chose, I found myself with the blue screen:

    Error blue screen said something these ' BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Contact your system provider for an updated BIOS I don't know what that means and I don't know where is the culprit. I wish I could capture this error screen. However, it is impossible to do because I wasn't the Windows environment. 

    Even if the error related to BIOS necessary for the update, so how could I update as long as windows has not begun.




    Is there something that needs to be configured in the BIOS before installing Windows 7 on Dell laptops.
    I'm quite surprised that the previous system was windows 7, but it was Home Premium.

    The strangest thing is when I tried to start to repair the disk and even disk instillation of Windows to resolve startup problems, I found that this startup repair couldn't fix problems.

    When I tried to do these steps:

    1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD.

      Note Some computers may require you change basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For more information about changing the BIOS, see your computer documentation.
    2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If your computer is configured to dual-boot or multiple boot, select the appropriate installation of Windows XP.
    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password and press ENTER.
      Note By default, the administrator password is blank in Windows XP Home Edition.
    5. By default, Hiberfil.sys is usually located in the directory root (C:\). At the command prompt, type del hiberfil.sys and then press ENTER.
    6. Restart the computer.
    When I arrived at "system recovery options, I saw that my system is listed, then I chose then, but I found myself with this ' this"system recovery options"version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are trying to fix." Try to use a different compatible with this version of windows recovery disk, even if I'm sure only that the same disk to install windows I have installed since.

    NOTE: I do not add RAM or other devices. There is a windows 7 Home premium and I just re installed a windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I don't really know what the previous windows version 7 is 32 or 64 bit.
    I checked the dell forum and I found ' your computer goto your BIOS F2

    That goto advance Select ATA to instead of AHCPI save the setting, and then try to restart your Windows 7

    hope it will work. »

    But he did not AHCPI, but I found AHCI and let ATA instead of AHCI, but no difference that happened.

    In addition, every time a new windows installation 7 and facing the Blue error screen, I started to Macrium Rescue CD and clicked "fix windows startup", and then when restart my windows, I was not facing the the Blue error screen. If windows starts successfully.

  • Can I go through Satellite Pro 4300 with disk HARD mk8032GAX?

    Hello and thanks in advance. The question is: can I upgrade the hdd by default in satellite pro 4300 with mk8032GAX model?

    (Sorry for my English)

    Concerning

    The question is whether the laptop and the BIOS is able to manage the size of the HARD drive.
    The mk8032GAX is a 80 GB, 2.5 HARD disk at 5400 RPM and 8 MB cache.

    I discovered that this laptop supports these drives:
    5,59 GB Toshiba MK6414MAP, Toshiba MK6411MAT
    11.2 GB Toshiba MK1214GAP
    16.9 GB Toshiba MK1814GAV

    Perhaps also a 30 GB might be compatible, but to be 100% sure, a test is necessary.

  • Compatible BIOS ACPI for Satellite Pro A30

    Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1 GB RAM and 2.8 GHZ P4 processor. I was wondering when toshiba would provide ACPI compatible BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, when running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will work Windows Vista professional, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.

    So I started the upgrade of Windows XP, and once the computer is restarted to begin installation of Vista I was faced with the blue screen, indicating that my BIOS is not fully ACPI.

    It seems such a shame that the machine is up to running under Vista, but Toshiba did not provide updates to bios ACPI. My bios version is 1.80.

    Any idea?

    Hi Keith

    Sorry to say but I agree with the above stanislaus.
    I'm wondering if this laptop has Vista capable sticker? Not?
    Well well, in such cases, it of not a big surprise that Vista can not be installed.

    Of course, I installed Vista on my M40 unit.
    I was a lucky guy ;) But I put t expect that Vista will run on each computer on this world some laptops really supports Vista and some not :(

    By the way: I found this document:

  • Fully operational GPS on Satellite Pro S300 with F3507g card

    Hello

    Some good news. I have the GPS works entirely on the Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 with F3507g 3 G card. I think that the measures to make operational work on any Toshiba laptop with the same card.

    It requires new 3G Toshiba drivers for the card that exposes the COM7 GPS port, some trick with the COM port for the card out of the location data (this would have been done by a Toshiba application if they support the GPS), then it will work with any application that supports GPS.

    I used the land bridge to verify this works and this allows tracking on Google Earth, see [image here | http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2262/earthbridgepd2.png] (note that I blanked my exact location because it locates my front door). This signal was achieved with the laptop near a window.

    What I plan to do is to make a small application to enable or disable the GPS receiver and will post some instructions on how to address all this, which is quite easy other cunning of Com port that I hope, I can make do with a small, free program.
