• Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

  Hello.

  I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

  I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

  First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

  So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

  (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

  So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

  So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

  Please, please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

  Here's my explanation of how it works:
  Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

  As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
  -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

  HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

  Your questions:
  > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
  > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
  > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
  > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
  If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

  > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
  I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
  > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
  Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

  Follow these steps:
  -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
  -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
  -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
  -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
  -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
  This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

  Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

• The new use of recovery of Windows XP with my q Satellite Pro P300-19?

  I just bought a Satellite Pro P300-19 q with Vista pre-installed. I want to use Windows XP Professional instead and understand that I must use the DVD titled "Product development - Microsoft Windows XP Professional" supplied with the machine. To do this, however, the provided information sheet is not very useful when he says only: «you will have to load this...» »

  My question is: How do I do it from running the disc in the DVD player, just reveals several files which none will get me nowhere?

  Any help would be welcome.

  The recovery of Windows XP product disc contains an image of a Windows XP installation ready with all the drivers and tools.

  Before installing Windows XP, you should burn the Vista recovery disk because if you want to restore Windows Vista you will need this disc. So, you can restore the computer back to wherever it was when you originally received.
  So far as the recovery image (Vista) is only stored on the HARD drive and so you can burn it to a DVD:
  Click on the Toshiba recovery disc creator and insert a blank DVD. Then follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will be created.
  You are now able to boot from this DVD and install Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings).

  When you reinstall Windows with a recovery disk, the HARD disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost. This means that as other partitions so backup your data first.

  If you are using Vista it s also able to restore the factory since the HARD drive settings. Therefore, the files are stored in the folder HDDRecovery.
  So, if you want to put your mobile PC, press F8. Then you can see the menu and there advanced boot options, select repair your computer.
  Follow the instructions on the screen and the laptop will also reinstall.
  But don't forget, this (HARD disk recovery) feature is only available with Vista, not XP.

  So if you understand this and burned the Vista recovery disk, you can start to install Windows XP.
  Boot from the XP Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation of Windows XP does not have a lot of time and this procedure is similar to Vista. After installation you also have an installation with all drivers and Toshiba tools but with Windows XP of course.
  This is the content of the Windows XP Recovery disk.

• Satellite Pro P300-25W - noise fan too heavy

  Hello

  I just got my Satellite Pro P300-25W and I hate the noise of the fan. Is there a way to make it less noisy race less often?
  I updated to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from the Toshiba DVD.

  In power options I selected everything to be optimized battery / record maximum power in the advanced power settings. But still, the fan runs almost all the time. I use Windows to surf a little, the CPU usage is very low (less than 10%), there is no 3D graphics movies or something goes on that would put fun on the GPU.

  It drives me crazy.
  I can do something, or should I just bought a laptop?

  I hope you can help!

  > Is it possible to make it less noisy race less often?

  There is an extra entry called Toshiba Power Saving and there you can change the performance of cooling module for battery or power mode.
  Usually, this should help

  But note; It depends on the internal temperature! Higher temperature means more rapid cooling modules
  It might be also possible that your cooling fans are full of dust and debris and prevents air circulation, remove dust and clean the fan using a jet of compressed air. Who helped in my case

• Re: Microphone completely after installing XP on Satellite Pro P300

  My father bought a Satellite Pro P300 that I went down to Windows XP by using the included CD/DVD.
  Later, we found that the internal microphone is very quiet when we tried to use it.
  We need to yell into the microphone to get any sound at all, more like sounds random blip. Type the microphone sounds more scratch.

  All other sound effects are great. speakers work fine. We connected an external microphone to the mine in the laptop and video calls worked without problem, the problem is only with the internal mic.
  I saw that someone else has the same problem in the forum (link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33844&tstart=0]), but it does not say how or if this problem has been resolved.

  I would really appreciate if someone could give me the fix or a link to the fix to our problem other than plug in an external microphone.

  Hello

  Windows XP supports a microphone amplifier. Have you enabled it?

  Go to control panel-> Audio & Sound Devices-> advance tab press Volume button

  Optionally, select advanced controls

  Then you should see the volume of the microphone. Please set it to a higher value.
  In addition, press the advanced under the microphone button.

  Here, you can mark the micro amp.

• Satellite Pro P300 - his axe with Win XP installed

  Starting with Satellite Pro P300 with VISTA everything was fine including the sound.

  For other reasons, I'm back to Win XP and noise started to sputter and example music was chopped.
  After you have installed the latest driver everything was going well again, at least for a few days.

  The same error came once again, starting with a chopped sound when starting Win XP. Reinstall the latest version of the driver does not help.

  Is anyone able to give me a hint?

  Thank you
  Benjamin

  Have you checked the sound settings in Windows? Maybe there's something wrong.

  You have installed the latest driver on the Toshiba site?

• Satellite Pro P300-19 q and WXP downgrade

  Hi all

  I need to buy a new laptop with windows XP on it. I was initially attracted by the Satellite Pro P300-19 q because of its ability to be downgraded to XP. However, I decided to do a quick serach first to see if someone had encountered problems and I saw a few posts where people are having problems with the wifi on them after decommissioning.

  The Satellite Pro P300-19 q isn't my first choice of PC Toshiba laptop and if the downgrade xp disc is not very effective, so I'd probably rather use my own copy of xp and downgrade a portable me (as long as the drivers are on the Web site). Anyone had any experience with these Toshiba recovery DVD to downgrade?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300-19 q belongs to the portable model PSPCDE and if you check download Toshiba and support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page, you will see that this model of laptop is taken WXP supported.

  I don't know if you will get the recovery media of Windows XP Home edition with this laptop, but Toshiba offers all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities and you can install your own version of Windows XP Home edition.
  You can ask your local dealer if the Windows XP Home edition recovery media is delivered with this media.

  I suppose that it is no longer possible.
  As far as I know the other languages are locked or deleted, and you will be able to choose only the Dutch as language.

• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.
