• Satellite Pro P300 BIOS not only flash through recovery CD en

  Hi people

  I tried to update my BIOS on my laptop Satellite pro P300 series, and it seems to have gone wrong. I have now read a lot about the winphlash version goes wrong. I managed to create a recovery CD, and it starts the procedure of flash and works almost to the end, but then shuts down and restarts. I have no idea how to solve this problem. I don't know that I have the correct procedure and BIOS recovery. I can boot my laptop with Ubuntu, but I really don't want to get rid of my windows installation.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to Flash the BIOS in the Windows operating system?

  The BIOS is focused on victory and you can Flash the ROM module using the version of the BIOS based win.

  This, to a Windows operating system installed.

  Found a doc HowTo very interesting on the update of the BIOS.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 18Q - upgrade to Windows XP

  My colleague is about to buy a new laptop Satellite Pro P300 - 18 Q and asks me to perform the downgrade it to XP.

  Are there instructions with the machine on the way to do it. ?
  I know that it comes with Vista and XP Professional as recovery on DVD media.

  Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  If this laptop comes with Windows XP Home edition recovery media, I don't understand why ask you the next question. Your colleague can decide which operating system they want to use. If he wants to use the Windows XP using WXP home edition recovery media and install the Windows XP Home edition operating system.

  Someday, if he wants to use Vista, it can install it using sent Vista recovery image.

  I hope you understand what I mean.

• Satellite Pro 6100 BIOS upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

  Hi Christian,

  I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

  It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A210: BIOS upgrade/downgrade to XP fails

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest BIOS for XP on the Toshiba site, as I lowered the from Vista to XP.

  My A210 has v1.70 BIOS (for Vista) installed.

  The XP BIOS I downloaded works Winphlash and stop trying to install the current BIOS is different from the one to be installed.
  I tried to use the advanced settings, but the update crashes just before writing the new BIOS.
  Is there a way I can download a version to install on a boot CD, or any other means of installing Winphlash.

  Thank you
  Paul.

  I was a little confused m

  First on the European driver Toshiba page you will find only in the BIOS for Vista 32 bit OS.

  I didn t find a special version of the BIOS for Win XP!

  Furthermore the released BIOS can be updated ONLY of the operating system running. You cannot update the diskette or CD!

  Hello

  You did a clean install of Windows 7, or you have upgraded the Vista to Win 7?

  I recommend a new installation of Windows 7. It's better, because an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 could leave some junk on the HARD drive and some tools/drivers Vista is not compatible with Win 7 OS.

  So to do a clean install of Windows 7, then download and install the new BT stack from this page:

• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro P300-20 q - I need 64-bit XP drivers

  Hello.
  We are dealers Italians.

  We, our customer bought a Satellite Pro P300-20 q PSPCDE-01V003IT, he needs 64-bit Windows XP to work.

  We can not find the drivers for these devices:
  Audio device on High Definition Audio (Conexant) Bus
  (AuthenTec) fingerprint sensor
  (Unknown) mass storage controller
  Device modem on Bus High Definition Audio (Conexant)
  For audio and modem we already tried the driver for XP on site support but not installed and report this error mmdriver.inf found c:\windows\system32\, even if this file is there.

  For the fingerprint sensor package install just the software but not the driver because that missed the file: atswpdrv.sys. The file is not in the package.

  For mass storage controller, none of the files of this laptop corresponds to this device.

  Also: The electric driver for XP for the Alps touchpad in the support site does not work with XP 64-bit.
  Tips for solving these problems?

  Thanks, hope to receive a reply soon because what is urgent.

  I thank once again.

  Have you checked the European Toshiba driver download site?
  Well, I think the case is clear. Support from Toshiba doesn't Windows XP 64 bit on all laptops and Satellite Pro P300 it s the same.
  I think that's bad new for you.

  The only solution is to search on the external Web site or on the site of the factory unit.
  If you n t get all the drivers it s time to install another OS.

• 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.

  "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. "

  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 - update graphic card and CPU

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

  I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

  Hello

  Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

  In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

• Touchpad on Satellite Pro P300 does not work with Windows 7

  Hello

  Recently, I load Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Satellite Pro P300. I downloaded all the drivers for W7 64 bit and installed everything, fortunately, most of the time.

  The touchpad, however, is not completely functional. The upgrade page says to use the Vista drivers and did not provide any drivers for win7. Installing the Vista drivers didn't really go so well.

  In any case, the essential element of the missing features is this thing where you drag your finger up and down the right edge of the touchpad, and it scrolls for you. I can click and double click and move the slider. But I can't scroll. And it's such a pain with move the slider above the scroll bar of the application, with a big screen.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

• 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.

• Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

  Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

  Running Windows 7.

  ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

  BIOS 2.5

  All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

  Wireless is annoying...

  Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

  When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

  Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

  When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much...

  Hello

  You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

  It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
