• Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

  The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

  In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

  Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!

  I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

  Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

  Hello

  I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
  I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.

  But this would format the system partition :(

  In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
  Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

• Shutdown on Satellite Pro A300 problem

  I flashed the Bios with the latest version, did not help my problem.
  After stopping the machine down, the slot voltage stays on, even if the disks hard etc. are off.

  If you hold down the power button on this point, the machine turns off completely, then you can start again.

  Also, when the machine is turned on, the power button is strangely.
  Sometimes a single press stops the machine, sometimes it restarts. Sometimes, he won't do anything

  Someone at - it an idea of that which is the cause, now that an update of the bios did not fix.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Looks like you would define the notebook in Hibernate or standby mode setting and would not shut down the Satellite Pro A300.

  Please note that the closed button Vista default settings are set to sleep.
  If you want to change the settings go to:
  -Control Panel > Power Options > change Plan settings
  -Click on advanced settings
  -Expand power buttons and lid. Then Expand the menu button start and change of sleep at the stop.

  "If the laptop has been on standby mode it is possible happens that it wakes up automatically because of some options activated as alarm clock on keyboard ' and 'Battery critical WakeUp' or 'wake on LAN '.

• Satellite Pro A300 - removed HARD drive recovery partition, but have backup ghost

  Hello

  I deleted the partition HDDrecovery by chance but I have all the files in the saved partition.

  Is it possible to recreate the partition?
  Or create a files recovery disk? -
  I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?

  Concerning

  > Is it possible to recreate the partition?
  I know it s not possible to create it again without use of the Toshiba Recovery disk AFAIK this partitions contains also some brands that are necessary at the start of this partition.

  > Or create a files recovery disk? -
  I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?
  Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool usually needs the HARD drive partition to create the recovery disk. But I doubt it will be functions if you've already deleted this partition.
  But nevertheless, you can see it.
  Create the partition (Vista disk management), copy these files on this partition and check if the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool would find it.

  If not, I don t think you could create this partition of HARD drive

  In this case, you will need to purchase a Toshiba Recovery disk

• HDD on Satellite Pro A300 problem

  Okay, so basically, my laptop broke down and I am addicted in my hard drive via a usb cable to a laptop different, copy of my files on to this laptop. Now my problem is that all the time when I was running out of space on my laptop, I transferred to some files on a disk E: (My Documents, my music and my pictures), which was just sitting there basically empty. I checked beforehand with a computer expert to see if it was safe to put the files on this drive and he said yes.

  What confuses me, is that I always thought that the C: drive was my hard drive, one that I am currently taking files but the files on my hard drive seem to be those that I had copied the disk hard all the time! (My Documents, my music and my pictures)

  So basically my question is, how can I get my files from my C: drive, or are only they doomed to sink with my broken laptop? I had nothing exceptionally important on it, just a few programs and issues that I want to like!

  I have a last option of the station to perform a recovery system on my broken laptop, but I'm scared that it could wipe on all files on the C: drive, can anyone confirm if this would indeed happen?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm a little confused about your ad, if you connect internally to computer portable HARD drive to another computer, you are able to backup all the files of all the scores of Mr. According to the save location, you can back up all the files on another HARD drive.

  If you connect the HARD disk to another computer, partitions will have different drive letters, but the content is still the same.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - Windows startup with a wrong display resolution

  OK so I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 64 bit and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card.

  Recently, I have connected my laptop to a TV using the S-video connection. It worked well. The problem is that since then, and every time I start my laptop Windows starts with S-video of 600 x 800 display resolution.

  I tried changing the settings in the Panel and using the ATI CCC, having once selected and applied these settings, but whenever Windows starts now it starts with the above display resolution.

  As a result, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled my display driver both package Toshiba value added but the same problem persists. I searched with Google about this problem and have not been able to find something useful.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi dude

  How did you produce the video signal?
  Did you choose Office expanded or all simply the option external monitor by using the FN + F5?

  I think that you need to press once more the Fn + F5 and should switch to a view, internal laptop display.

  Please check if this could help you!

• Satellite Pro A300 - for Windows 7 power management strategy

  Hi all

  I have the following on my Satellite Pro A300 problem:

  My laptop fan works continuously, which means almost always turn. I cleaned the entire cooling with compressed air, so it is not clean, no problem with that. The reason is that in browsers when Adobe Flash Player runs, it loads the CPU and the GPU, so that the fan trying to cool the system.

  Now I ask you, is there any solution to fix this? I mean even to reduce the GPU clock speed when I do not use the graphics intensive applications.

  I use Google Chrome as default browser and the Windows 7 OS 32 bit.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If an application load the CPU and the GPU it s normal behavior that the fan rotates and probably on top level so it s high usage. So don t you worry because everything is normal. The fan protects the equipment from overheating.

  What you can do is updated Google Chrome and Flash Player. Also try to use the most recent version, they also contain security updates.

  Last but not least, you can change the cooling method in the power management Windows (change the power plan settings). If you have installed Toshiba Value added Package, you can choose between optimized battery and a maximum Performance. Select optimized battery and fan activity will be less.

• 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 Raffaella

  To be honest I don't understand what exactly you want. Help with what exactly?
  There is mistake, but I hope that you can still use WXP.

  I don't know what that means but if portable WXP supported is installed with Windows XP SP2/SP3 home edition and if all the stuff from Toshiba are installed in the order of good facilities all work OK.

  I get the Windows XP Home edition recovery media with my Satellite A300 and WXP works perfectly. Another thing is updated Microsoft. It is well known that these updates can have a negative influence on already preinstalled Toshiba drivers and you can lose the functionality or the driver will stop working. So if you want to install Microsoft updates install some updates marked as important.

  By the way: do you too use WXP recovery or your own installation of Microsoft?

  One last thing: PCIIDE ATAPI belongs to integrated controller and control the readers. Your laptop HARD drive is drive SATA drive PCIIDE Standard cannot be dependent.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - how to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

  I tried to enable the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and the setting is disabled and I was unable to change the setting to activate. I have flashed the BIOS to the new version, and now how to enable virtualization has completely disappeared.
  The laptop model is Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 Professional and BIOS version 2.10.

  How do I enable virtualization setting so I can run Windows Virtual PC mode to run compatible programs XP?

  Hello

  Did you check the specifications of your laptop first?

  The fact is that the processor must support this virtualization and according to the Web of Toshiba site, your laptop is equipped with processor Core 2 Duo T5870.
  I checked this on the page of Intel CPU and virtualization isn't supported. That means t, you can use this feature!

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

  Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
  This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

  Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
  Thanks in advance!

  > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
  Yes. Without a doubt.

  New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  If so avoid any problem.

  Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

• Satellite Pro A300-2CW - necessary with Windows XP recovery disc

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 2CW. I bought it with the software Windows XP (included in a CD), which worked perfectly for years. I reinstalled several times this year, but now the CD has deteriorated and it no longer works.

  The machine was originally WIndows Vista installed with the option to create DVD recovery and a recovery of HARD drive option, but I think that it is not possible for Windows XP.

  Do I have any options? Where could I buy the original Windows XP CD?

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE Touch pad and fingerprints fingerprint sensor problem

  I have been runing Windows Vista on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE. Because my original Windows Vista key has been blocked I did a system recovery CD Toshiba vith XP. Everything work fine except the fingerprint sensor and the touchpad. Manager access suite said he couldn't connect with equipped and the driver touch pad in the taskbar icon shows but it seems to be inactive. The touchpad does not work even though I have pres FN + F9.

  What should I do to save this problem.

  Sory for my bad English, I just form Slovenia, I hope you understand.

  Somehow the material is not properly recognized.
  It will be interesting to see if the fingerprint sensor and touchpad may work with Vista preinstalled originally.
  I think that Alex is right. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They should check the functionality of the hardware.

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - cannot create own recovery disks

  Have a portable Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista Business 32. After a HARD disk recovery partition recovery, I decided to use the PC function full system backup to make a picture for later retrieval with all my current settings. Too inconvenient for factory reset default (Thunderbird 3.0 Mail, Open Office and some other small applications already running no problem for years on another computer in the office).

  The system needs 5 to 9 DVD and he wrote the first DVD. Takes about 30 minutes. Then, during the audit of this disc, it crashes. Audit bar stops at about 30% complete.
  Anyone with this experience? No, the company "Complete PC Image" works well on an OEM of Vista installation?
  Or maybe it's the DVD player in need of an update? I do not use a 3rd party burning software.

  Hello

  What program you use to create your own recovery discs? For example, I mean Acronis, Norton Ghost, etc..

  In your case I would try with another program like Nero or CD Burner XP burning.
  In addition, you can try to remove upper and lower filters in the Windows registry, maybe that will work.

  Finally, and especially on the Toshiba site, you can check if there is an update to the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.
