  Hello

  This should normally does not affect the recovery of HARD drive but make sure to burn the disc of recovery if you didn t it yet.

  If you have the recovery disk, you are on the safe side.

• Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - cannot start the cam software

  I bought the Satellite Pro A300-1E7.
  Webcam does not work in MSN messenger video call.
  Will have problems similar to the previous posting, except that I use Zonealarm.

  I think that Zonealarm has disputed cec_main.exe in a similar way.
  I tried to follow the instructions here, but without much success.
  I removed the Camera Assistant SOftware and re-installed the driver but does not seem to have improved things.
  Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  I used the Zonealarm happened and I was not really satisfied, because this software locked everything and most of the applications didn't work properly even after the new configuration! Finally, I removed this software and I noticed more advantage. my laptop starts much faster!
  I think this software would lock the cam software too.

  > Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.
  This means that the software has been removed and is not installed correctly.
  But to be sure, check in Control Panel-> Software (Add & Remove Programs) if the webcam is installed.

  I have the internal cam of Chicony too and it s works well as part of the software Skype. I didn't test t MSN but I don t see serious reasons why it shouldn't t work.

  In my view, you must first remove the zonealarm. Then clean the OS using CCleaner. Finally, redownload the webcam software and reinstall it!

  The toolbar of the webcam is not always visible on the desktop.
  It seems that if you move it the mouse cursor to the place where the webcam tool bar was hidden.

• How to install the recovery image on Satellite Pro A300?

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 and I need factory reset. I learned from my teacher of computers there is a unknown virus on this subject. Apparently, it has been downloaded when I downloaded Malware bites. I got the laptop free of Set - BC because I muscle Handi-trophy and get tired of writing.

  My teacher told me that I need to Factory Reset, but when I got the laptop, she had everything installed on, (kurzwell, Chrome, etc.) so I don't have the disc to factory reset. In addition, the virus has disabled everything that has anything to do with the internet, (Chrome, for example, Firefox, Outlook, malware bites, etc.).

  Y at - it all means I have factory reset the laptop without the need of the disc.
  Any suggestions will help.

  Thank you

  Hello Steve

  Portable, delivered without reinstall drive have recorded on the HARD drive recovery image and if you're still using an original preinstalled operating system you can try to install this recovery image according to the recovery procedure. How to this is described in the document s user manuals or you can do this following statement described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  It works for you?

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

  AHOY!

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

  It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

  However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

  * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

  I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

  + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

  And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

  (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

  I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
  A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

  With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
  If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
  On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

  Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
  > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
  I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• Satellite Pro A300 - driver Webcam cannot start under Win 7

  Recently bought a satellite Pro A300 and immediately updated from Vista to Win7 Pro Bus.
  Do not use webcam before upgrade.

  After upgrade, after downloading and installing the Toshiba Chicony webcam software, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail." "Please restart camera or computer.
  Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver v dated 06/21/06 (very pre-Win7!).

  Have you tried unistalling/reinstalling software camera assistant with and without first uninstalling the program camera in Device Manager, but the same error message comes back every time. I would appreciate suggestions for a fix.

  Hello

  In your case, I would try to install the latest driver for the webcam of Toshiba. Install this driver and try again. Also, make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed for your laptop.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same problem happens on Vista. You should try it with the factory settings. So that you can identify if it s a hardware or software problem.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - shows horizontal stripes

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?
  Once I rang Toshiba UK Technical Support and a rather impatient adviser said it was a discharge of static electricity problem, but why is it not with my laptop Pavilion?

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 is less than one year, but the problem occurred repeatedly. I also had to replace the power adapter already because of the cable being too steep to the piece of cylindrical shape next to the Jack. Is this all I know a question of production with this series of laptops?

  > My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?

  These symptoms of display can be connected to a screen, graphics card driver or the graphics chip.
  First of all, you should try to update the graphics driver and should check it again.
  Secondly if this problem would appear then you must connect an external monitor to the laptop to check if the same would be visible on the external display.
  If so, the problem could be related to the graphics chip.

  It would be the worst case, a graphics chip cannot be replaced, but the whole mobo must be replaced in order to solve such a problem.

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. Should I keep or not?

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. It came pre-installed with Vista and also a DVD to upgrade to windows 7 Professional (that I installed).

  I tried to start the machine this morning, but for some reason it wouldn't start. All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

  The thing is that I have seem to have been able to solve this problem, but I do not understand how and why this happened!
  The issue seems to be related to the battery. At first, I tried to boot up the laptop (with only the battery connected) however it would not start. I don't think this has nothing to do with the amount of battery charge, because it had more than enough in it. I then tried to start it with just the power cable (and no battery). For some reason any that seemed to do the trick, and the laptop has been able to start. The laptop has now also boots when battery and the attached cable.

  Why is this happening?
  I am interested to know, is because this laptop already has given me a few problems. The laptop also bought very recently, so I can still return it for a refund (which I seriously think!).

  What should I do guys? Any help/advice you give to this topic would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you
  Jay

  > All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

  Underscore flashing in the left corner means that the BIOS battery was empty or something wrong with the HARD drive (possibly BIOS didn't find the right source of start-up)

  I recommend access to BIOS and set it to the default value. Save the changes and try to start the device again.

  You should also keep the laptop connected to the mains for about 24 hours and the laptop should be ON as well.
  This will help the CMOS battery.

  I'm wondring if it's related to camera problems.

  Help me please thank you

  The unknown device is bound to the controller USB (USB\VID_0000)
  Webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
  That's why I'm quite sure that this unknown device is internal webcam m

  I recommend you remove the unknown device from the list of devices (mark and press DELETE)
  Then clean the registry with freeware CCLeaner tool.
  After this reboot of the laptop.
  Download webcam for Win 7 software and launch the installation.

  In case its just software problem of workaround should solve your problem

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.

  Hello

  Have you tried reinstalling the driver for the webcam? You can download it from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Before installation: remove the driver current webcam and restart your computer. Try a registry cleaner like Ccleaner, then stop and try again. Now, you can install the latest driver for the webcam.

  I hope it works! :)

  The webcam can be used with programs like Skype communication where you can make a video call. Of course, there are other messengers or programs they use the webcam.

• Satellite Pro A300-1OP - Missing FEPs disk partition E:\

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1OP with Windows Vista.

  The hard disk is partitioned into C:\ and E:\, each about 75 GB with a hidden options of system recovery partition. E: / shows that about 5MB, left free while C:\ shows 28GB. However, the list of files/folders to E: / shows a total of about only 10 GB. I put the hidden files & folders to be displayed in the Control Panel/appearance but no more are listed to explain the "disappeared" 65GB. I also have a warning window telling me to free up space in E:\ drive to appear.

  What is the problem and how to fix it? I run Disk Cleanup, but get more no free space.

  I am quite often here on this forum and I always wonder what kind of problems people have with their laptops.
  If you created the recovery DVDs move all the files to the C partition and start the computer management > disk management. Deleting a volume E second partition). After having this recreate and do the full format.

  It will be interesting to know if the partition will display correctly after that. If so, move all the data back and hope that everything will be OK again.
  Please note: after doing this, it may happen that you will not be able to create recovery DVD or use HARD drive recovery facility then please do this if you created DVDs.

  Hello

  Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
  And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

  You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

  I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.
