  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.

  If you need the recovery in French disc, then you will need to order on this page:

• Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m - boot problem: black screen with 3 beeps

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m, I bought a few weeks ago and in time, I had about 5 - 6 times the same rear screen when I tried to start the system. When he does this notebook gives 3 loud beeps (not sure what that actually means).

  When he does this I have to press the power button for 5 seconds and after several times doing this that it will show the Welcome screen toshiba... then sometimes it will automatically restart again and I get this annoying black screen again. Most of the time when I wait about 10 minutes and try to do as well the system starts as usual... Yes... very strange thing here.

  To be honest, I don't want to send the laptop for Toshiba once again, as I could use for my business...

  Then. What could this be? I've already updated the latest version of the BIOS.

  Thnx in advance

• 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.

• Restore CD for XP in combination with double HDD on Satellite Pro P300

  On my Satellite Pro P300, there are two hard drives, two 160 GB.
  Currently, Windows Vista Professional is installed, as it was preinstalled.
  On the first disc, there are 3 partitions, an EISA partition, a partition to boot Vista and a partition for HHDRecovery (contains the image for Vista product Recovery).

  In Vista, there is an option for backing up the computer. This offers the ability to completely restore Vista to the situation at the time of the backup.
  I did a full backup the first complete hard drive (partition 3) PC and saved on the hard disk of the second.

  Now, I want to use the recovery provided product Toshiba for Windows XP to install Windows XP on the laptop.
  I guess that the first hard drive will be completely crushed, but I don't know if the second disc will also be replaced.
  Does anyone know if my data on the second drive will be lost when using the product for XP Recovery?

  I want to keep the data on the second drive, because it gives me the option to restore the laptop to the situation with Vista without reinstalling/activate applications.
  Also all my personal files are on this drive.

  I doubt that installing XP should touch the 2nd HARD drive, but for peace of mind, you can temporarily remove the 2nd HARD drive before installing XP.

• Satellite Pro P300-1EC - cannot get wireless to work

  Hello!

  First of all. Excuse me for my English!

  TEC Spec.

  Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1EC
  Intel WiFi Link 5100
  Windows XP Pro SP3

  I have a big problem. I can't get the wireless LAN working properly.
  And the customer has purchased this computer because his old computer stopped working with WLAN...

  I tried everything I can. And I am a person of educated tech, so I think I should have the knowledge of this, but I do not have.

  Short version.

  1. install the latest drivers. (Also tried more aged)
  2 restart the computer.
  3 WNIC takes about 10 min to find WLAN.
  4. While working perfect with 130Mbps on project N.
  5.i can user logout and change and all.
  6. when I restart I'm back at number 3.

  Long version:

  I installed XP pro since the XP downgrade Cd included and wireless drivers wasn't on that CD so I downloaded them. (And Yes. "This is the correct drivers.)
  After that I installed the driver and restart my computer, I could not find wireless networks. Kind of weird because I have 4 routers/points of WLAN on my company with the range 60-100% and about 3 other public routers without security. I tried to update the drivers to windows update, and WU has found an update for me. I installed driver and the wireless highlight function. I scream YES and restart the computer. Then it stopped working. N° !!!
  I was a little tired on the problem and began installing some other computers that I bought and when I looked the Toshiba computer that I saw that it was connected to my WLAN. Weird, but I thought it worked then I restart the computer again and then his does not work... again! Now, I have analyzedthe problem and it's like that.

  When I start the computer the my WNIC does not any WLAN.
  About 10 min (10m32s) after starting the wireless started working.
  I am able to disconnect and change the user and it still works, but as soon as I restart the computer it stops and I have to wait another 10 minutes. And so on.

  Anyone been trough something like this even if it is not not toshiba or my model?

  Hello

  What is the Satellite Pro P300 - 1EC BIOS is up-to-date?
  Please check everything first.

  You said you are using Draft N did you tried to establish the WiFi connection using other standard WLan as 802.11 A or G?

  I also recommend changing the WiFi channel and try other channels.

  In addition, you can change a WLan option that affects the WLan functionality. You can find these settings in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

• 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 - no recorded on Skype voice

  Hello forum,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300. Configured as a system dual boot, Windows 7 (32 bit) / and Ubuntu 11.04 (also 32-bit).

  I like to use Skype only occasionally. The laptop has an internal microphone, and when using Skype on Ubuntu it works fine. The use of Skype in Windows, however, does not work. When I do the 'test call' Skype and try to save my voice, all I hear is silence.

  I guess that there is a missing driver, or something like that.

  In Windows 7, Skype said "your microphone seems to work very well" and gives me two devices microphone to choose among, both called "Microphone (high definition Audio Device). There is no error message to be seen, but nothing happens.

  I'm sure this is a simple solution, but I do not know how to proceed. Can someone please advise?

  Thank you very much

  Alan.

  Hello

  The microphone is a part of webcam and if it doesn't work, you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Toshiba page.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Also make sure that the microphone is set as default input device. Right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select recording devices. Select the microphone as the default device, and check if the amp microphone is activated.

  Hello

  The European driver Toshiba page provides two audio Conexant drivers for this model of laptop.
  + Driver sound + 4.36.10.0
  + Driver sound + 4.83.1.0

  I recommend the new version 4.83.1.0

  Restart the device and install the new downloaded drivers.

• Satellite Pro P300-145 - sound of frying with my headphones

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite Pro P300-145 and today I started noticing a noise of frying with my headphones. I tested my headphones in a different laptop and they sound good and if I play the same files with my speakers it sounds good too so I was wondering if you knew what could be the reason.

  I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi Andunemir,

  What operating system you are using? You use Windows or Linux?
  In addition, it would be interesting to know if this happens only with headphones/external speakers or portable speakers internal too. You can test this please?

  > I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.
  The temperature of the laptop is enough depending on the applications that you are running. High CPU and graphic card use causes a higher temperature.

  But it s also advised to clean the system at any time using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and the laptop is much cooler after that. I do it every 3 months because I use my laptop every day. If I do that, I followed these instructions:

• Satellite Pro P300 - how to upgrade Intel GM965 display driver?

  Hello

  I do not found how can I update my graphics driver from the Web from Toshiba website. I found some other updates, but not this one...

  And I have a problem with a game (Starcraft II) with "igxprd32" which seems to refer to the Intel Graphics accelerator driver.

  When I go to the update site Intel it tells me:
  "A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. "

  Thanks in advance for your help

  (Satellite Pro P300)

  Hey,.

  I had the same problem on my Satellite Pro U300 but it of easy to solve.

  Go to Device Manager, right click on your graphics card. Select Update driver and follow the instructions in a new window. Select the Advanced installation where you can choose the directory and the driver yourself.

  But don t forget to extract the zip first, otherwise the driver will not be found. ;)

• Satellite Pro P300-1AY - screen and keyboard issues

  Satellite Pro P300-1AY

  First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

  Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

  Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
  Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

  Thanks x

  > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
  > If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy fix

  Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
  Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
  Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

  > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
  and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.

  The product key on my Satellite Pro P300 does not work.
  I entered the key from the sticker on the back of the computer. What I am doing wrong?

  Hello

  Why use this product key?

  Firstly the Toshiba recovery image is already enabled and you don t need this key more activations.

  Second, it's an OEM key and it will not work with other versions of Vista!
