    Howdy!

    I installed win 98 is for my sp 4200 series laptop. Before the installation, I formatted the C drive. After installation, I discovered that the screen resolution is 640 x 480 (1024 x 768) and there were 16 colors. Windows won't let me edit these settings.

    Hello

    I managed to find the drivers for Windows 98 on the site of Toshiba Canada:

  • Satellite Pro P300: Need driver "Mass storage controller" of Vista 64-bit

    Hi, please help.

    I just upgraded my laptop from Windows Vista 32 bit Vista 64-bit.

    I don't know where to look for this driver.

    Hello

    I guess you didn't search in the forum for similar issues? Is this good?
    I think that I m straight because I searched the forum and found that Toshiba FAQ doc.

    + No driver Windows XP for PCI Memory Controller +.
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB83023N0000R01.htm

    Here you can find this text passage:
    After the installation of Windows XP, there might be a yellow exclamation by a "PCI memory controller" or * "Mass storage controller" * in Device Manager.

    _Solution: _
    This unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory.
    This material will be supported only by Windows Vista.
    There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

    Now, everything should be clear ;)

  • Satellite Pro S200 - need driver SATA for installation of WXP

    I'm trying to load a portable Satellite S200 with WinXP Pro.

    It doesn't have a floppy drive and I have no idea how to access the BIOS or driver load in my WinXP custom disc so that I can load windows.
    Please help as it is constantly with no hard drives have been found

    You need the Intel Storage Manager. This package contains the SATA drivers to use the AHCI mode which has better performance than the compatible mode.

    The drivers, you can integrate with nLite ([www.nliteos.com]). It of pretty easy to use and I have good experience with this tool.

    If you have further questions, you can also read the discussions here in the forum because this procedure is on each identical laptop.

  • Satellite Pro A210 HDD, Windows Vista & BIOS problem

    Hello

    We have an A210-1 b 3 - PSAFHE-01500PEN - running Vista which has had a hard drive failure.
    We have replaced the old drive SATA (250 GB) with a 500 GB SATA drive and used the recovery disc to install Vista and specific software from Toshiba. We intend to restore our backup data that a Vista is installed.

    That is the problem. We have installed the new hard drive, ran the recovery and after restarting, we got a Windows could not sating error set up the hardware and then restarts. I suspect that the new drive is not recognized by Vista. I looked around and it was suggested to the SATA Compatible parameter value in the BIOS. However, the BIOS (V1.5) has no options for this.

    So, can anyone suggest anything please? Any ideas where I can get the latest update of BIOS (pref one that allows me to create a boot disk and update BACK)? Any help appreciated because she has completely baffled me.

    Thank you in advance,

    Jamie

    Hello

    Seems that A210 BIOS does not support the SATA option, that would help you to switch the AHCI compatible mode. That is why the SATA drivers must be included in the configuration of OS install.

    But if you use the Toshiba drive recover then you n t need to install the SATA drivers from the Toshiba drive recover contains the image where the SATA drivers are already included.

    Now the question is why the Vista Setup program cannot complete.
    Have you used the good drive recovery for the right portable model.
    I read in a number of threads that people used bad disc

    Well, it would be interesting to know if you can install the Windows operating system using the disk from Microsoft. On the other hand, you can try to format the HARD drive before launching the recovery disk

  • Satellie Pro A40: need driver Cardbus

    Hello

    I just bought a second hand A40 offshore from a friend who has managed to turn the wine around his machine.
    She had lost the recovery CD, so I re-installed Windows directly from CD, download additional drivers from the support site.

    However, I couldn't find a CardBus driver for my model. I searched high and low and even tried the drivers for A30, A60 and A80 etc in the hope that they are compatible, but unfortunately they are not.

    Does anyone have a copy of this driver or know where I can download it?

    Desperate,

    Lutfi

    I m not 100% sure, but as far as I know that you can not download explicit the cardbus driver.
    Please do not forget that you have installed the drivers of Tosh in the right order.

  • Satellite Pro 4200: need driver card PCMCIA Win98

    Hello!

    Driver with Ms issues I´m 4200 laptop computer series with win 98. I managed to find the display driver, but the driver for pcmcia card is missing. And I can't connect to internet because im using for internet access Wlan pcmcia card.
    I m writing this with my friends computer.

    Could someone help me please?

    Hello

    AFAIK the PCMCIA port uses the common Windows drivers and so there is no driver PCMICA.
    I recommend you to install SP all the updates for W98
    In addition, you must enable the PCMCIA in the BIOS
    This should help to solve this problem.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - need driver for network card

    If someone could help... thanx

    Hello!

    Do you mean the LAN or WLAN card?
    The device is listed in the device with the yellow exclamation point Manager? And what OS are you using?

    What exactly happens if you try to install the driver?

    Just a question: why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery disk? There are already all the drivers installed and after that the laptop is ready for use. :)

  • Broken left hinge on Satellite Pro A40 - need part number

    Can anyone help? I broke the left hinge on my A40. I can't find anywhere to get a replacement and I don't know where I can find the part No. so I don't know, I get the right one.

    Does anyone not know the part. and where I can buy a hinge?

    Hello

    Replacing display hinges is not easy and kinda hard you must remove the entire screen, and I imagine that someone without experience could damage parts during disassembly procedure.
    I recommend you contact the ASP for details and help.
    The authorized service partner can also order the right and new hinges for this laptop directly from the head of Toshiba warehouse.

    Good luck and best regards

    To send a fax, the modem must be installed correctly and that's why you can find the driver on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite Pro A40 - driver Windows 7 sound.

    Hi, IM running Win 7 beta on one of my laptops, which is be a satellite pro a40.

    Ive got everything right except the "multimedia Audio Controller" aka the soundchip and the display adapter, which doesn't really count that I can see the screen etc anyway.

    Now all I really need are vista 32 drivers where they are compatible with windows 7 32 OS.

    But I can't find anywhere and archive here only has win2000 and xp more, I tried both and no work.

    Help!

    Thank you

    I think you should search for drivers if external websites on the Toshiba site are not drivers for Vista available.

    As far as I know that the Satellite Pro A40 is equipped with an Intel graphics card and so you should find the driver on the Intel page
    [www.intel.com]

    In addition, the laptop has a card his Analog Devices. I checked the manufactures Web site and in the [FAQ-area | http://forms.analog.com/Form_Pages/soundMax/soundMaxSupportFAQ.html#question1] I founded the following information:
    > SoundMAX provides no drivers or software directly to computer users. To download drivers, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer
    You will not find a driver for the sound card, but maybe an another Toshiba notebook is equipped with the same sound card so that's why you can find a driver for Vista.
    Check it!

  • Replace the drive DVD/CD-RW on my Satellite Pro A40

    Hello

    Does anyone know if a Toshiba DVD/CD-RW drive with model number SD-R2412 will be compatible with my Satellite Pro A40? If not, anyone know where I could find? Some muggins broke the CD drive on my laptop by bumping the case off a cargo cover. As a result, I can't claim on the warranty... statement of accidental damage... bah. :-(

    A friend of mine, think the new drive can need CSEL or M/S setting... What is it exactly and I need for an A40 Pro Sat? The laptop model number is PSA45E - 0184H - EN

    Thank you!!

    Hello

    Sorry, but I can't tell you which model will fit your laptop because there is not a public document on this subject. I know that your drive is set up and if the warranty is still valid you should not o alone because you can lose your warranty. I also found information that your device may also use a DVD-R, - RW drive. These types of information have all authorized partners. Try to contact them. I'm sure they can give you correct information on this subject.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

    I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

    The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

    If this is true, how should I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
    The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

    But back to your question;
    If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
    The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

    If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

    I hope I could help
