• Satellite Pro U500 - multi-boot with Win 7 and Win XP

  Good gentlemen,

  Please help me with this query I have.

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U500 with Windows 7 installed. I also have a TOSHIBA Windows XP product supplied with the laptop recovery DVDs. Was told I could downgrade to XP with the DVD.

  I want to install Win XP in addition to the existing installation of Windows 7 on a different partition, I intend to create.
  Can I create a create a separate partition and then use the recovery TOSHIBA Windows XP product DVD to install Win XP on it?

  Am just worried I might spoil the on the laptop's recovery partition?

  Basically, I want to be able to run the current Windows 7 and Win XP on my machine and want to know the best way to do it without damaging the existing TOSHIBA recovery partitions.

  I want to use the recovery DVDs TOSHIBA Windows XP product to install XP on a new partition with windows 7 OS.

  Thank you

  Hi-band,
  + downgrade to xp + means that you are not allowed to use your win7 installation any longer...

  ask problem "dual-boot":
  burn a DVD restore *, choose from the start menu

  After that, you can choose partition wich you like "sacrifice" for xp and install it...
  XP can't 'see' the install of win7, but you need a Boot Manager to boot both systems (xp is crushing the win7 boot code)

  or you go the other way:
  installation of xp and then install win7
  This has the advantage that win7 offers you the ability to boot xp from the bootmenu.
  in both options, you lose the hard drive recovery!

• Satellite Pro U500 - update the BIOS does not start on Windows 7

  Try to update BIOS on Satellite Pro U500 PSU9CA. The download site says there is a new version available, after that download and run the program nothing happens. You can see the Winflash process in the Task Manager but it never appears"". If this has yet been tested by Toshiba?

  There are no instructions, no readme or whatever it is.

  Did somebody get the BIOS update?

  Hi torana.

  As far as I know Toshiba always test their drivers or updates tools before they will be released and I have never had a problem with the new updates, so I think that the problem is lreated to your laptop, maybe something wrong with your installation.

  In General before you start the update of the BIOS you have to decompress all the files in archive zip and launch the update as an administrator.
  Also make sure that the value added package is installed and no firewall is not blocking the update program.

• Question sleeping on all new Satellite Pro U500-1EX

  Hi guys,.

  I have a new Satellite Pro U500-1EX with Windows 7 64 bit.

  The laptop is having some problems with its function of sleep. I wonder if others have had the same problem - and if anyone knows anything that can be done.

  OK, there are two questions;
  1. when the laptop enters sleep mode - it will come out it its own after a while. He goes to the login screen and wait about another hour before falling asleep. That's when it is plugged into the power - and no LAN.

  2. when I close the lid to put the laptop into standby - and while on battery - after awhile he will supply any. Connect the power supply won't do anything - the power light not at all - which suggests that the laptop don't even note not be plugged. I have to then remove the battery and turn the computer on (thus losing all the data that I had when I put the computer to sleep!).

  So, have you seen this issue with your satellite pro? This is something common and being ignored - or y at - it an easy solution for it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Audette,

  I have the Satellite U500 also but I can t notice any question about fashion 'sleep'. It works perfectly with an OS preinstalled Toshiba and the latest version of the BIOS. Then perhaps you need to update the BIOS as suggested Timox.

  Before you begin the update, close all running programs (also, AntiVirus and firewall), make sure you are logged in as administrator and do not stop the computer being updated.

  By the way: you use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

• Satellite PRO U500 - LCD screen size is reduced

  Hi all,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 with one small problem, the size of the LCD screen is reduced. I have a white border to the right and down. The max resolution is 1024 x 768.
  The problem is visible also when I enter the BIOS, so I think that the problem is not Operting System drivers.
  Is there a solution to my problem? I have to send in the audience?

  Thank you for the help
  Giuseppe

  H

  It is really strange, especially if you see the same thing in the BIOS settings?
  Since when did you notice this behavior?
  Do you use pre-installed OS original you got with your laptop?

  Have you done something that may be responsible for the issue described?

  I U500 and default display resolution is 1280 X 800 t, so I understand why you have 1024 X 768 on your U500.

• Satellite Pro U500-1DK - upgrade to Windows 7?

  Everyone has lowered the note a Satellite Pro U500-1DK for Windows 7 32-bit?

  If so, were all the drivers available?

  Hi jazzydog,

  I guess you want to do a downgrade to Windows 7 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit. Right?
  Well, the question is why you make such a downgrade because 32-bit is more obsolete because it supports only 3 GB of RAM.

  Satellite Pro U500 belongs to the series of PSU9CE and are therefore no drivers on the official page of Toshiba. So in my opinion, you should always use 64-bit Windows.

• Ubuntu 9.10 on Satellite Pro U500

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 1EQ PSU83E (I think this is a special edition for the school).

  I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 but the wireless LAN card is not recognized.

  If there is no native Linux driver, I think that I try to install Windows by Ndiswrapper player.
  The problem is that I can't know who is the manufacturer/model for Wi - Fi card.
  Is there someone who knows what model of card Wi - Fi is installed?

  Many thanks and best regards.

• Satellite Pro P200-14W and WXP - no driver for PC memory controller

  I installed Windows XP on the Satellite Pro P200-14W and installed all the drivers I could find on the Web of Toshiba site following the instructions provided.

  I always have a controller memory PC that appear in hardware Manager who is not driver related to it.

  My main problem however is that at random intervals (sometimes when you pull the power cable) the defects of the screen and turns into a mess of the desktop computer and the computer must be restarted because it does more. I tried several types of graphics drivers, but this does not stop the problem.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  If you have installed XP on this laptop Vista you must also update the BIOS to the version of Windows XP.
  Seems that at this time it s a 5.00Win version of the BIOS.

  To get rid of the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager, you must install the
  Flash Media Driver. This is the driver for your bridge Media Slot. This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.

  Good bye

  Hello

  I want to say clearly that portable computers technology design is not the same as on the desktop and if you have a good experience with desktop computers, you'll know that upgrading the graphics cards is not so problematic, but on laptops, the situation is very different.

  Laptops design and construction doesn't allow such flexibility for upgrades, upgrading the graphics card is not possible.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - how to change the date and time in the BIOS

  Hello

  I received a satellite pro 6100 that had not been used for some time. Windows does not work then he reinstalled with the good drive.

  When I try and windows 'enable', I get the error 32777 and the laptop is unable to connect with the activation servers that a google leads to believe me that the date and time are incorrect in the bios.

  I know that Press esc to access the bios but there is no option to change the date and time in there. I put the date / the correct time in windows, but this does not seem to synchronize with the bios. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, but this is not enough.

  How can I change or update the time in the bios?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I doubt this time and date setting BIOS does affect Windows activation time Windows doesn t affect it in my opinion. There must be another reason for this problem.
  You can activate Windows by phone?

  Normally the date and time in the BIOS can change you if you mark the date or time, and then press on + or - to change this. Sometimes you have to press PageDown/to the top according to the model of BIOS or laptop.
  Usually in the configuration of the BIOS you will find a brief info how changing the values.

• Satellite Pro L870-15F and missing compatibility Windows 10

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite Pro L870-15E.

  I saw in a compatibility list, that I was sent via Tempra that my laptop is not compatible-10 victory.

  How is it that a laptop that isn't so old or so cheap does not have to be compatible with Windows 10?

  Concerning
  ARI

  How is it that a laptop that isn't so old or so cheap does not have to be compatible with Windows 10?

  I guess that in this forum from a user to anyone will be able to answer this question, but from my point of view of a few each notebook / computer manufacturer must decide which models would get additional software support...
  Toshiba released still many laptop models in a short period of time, and in my opinion that it is not easy to provide support for all series laptop... so somewhere it is necessary to make a clear cut...

  But you can still install Windows 10 laptop and I am sure that the system will work perfectly, but probably some portable devices is not available due to lack of software...

• Satellite Pro A10 display and DVD issues

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 about 2 1/2 years and have never had a problem with him, but the other day when I tried to watch a DVD, look at a program (InterActual Player) opened as usual and then a few more seconds later the display will change in very low resolution (something like 14 colors, almost a negative and all image was massive Although I don't remember the actual numbers) and he said that I had to reboot in order to return things to normal. I tried the same DVD in Windows Media Player, as well as to try other DVDs and initially that the DVD would play in Media Player but not Interactual but now the same thing happens any DVD or player that I use.

  Also, I went on the computer this morning and got a message saying that the battery is low (although it was because I had not plugged the computer again, nothing to do with the last errors) and the computer is in standby. I plugged in the computer and you press the power button to wake the screen is very dark but visibly pixelated (I think that's the word, he had visible points, as if someone were holding a magnifying glass up to her) and got very slowly brighter until there has been a series of narrow bright stripes, like a giant pixel or a tv test screen.
  This could be a problem with the display drivers (even though I tried to update and we found since I always see a message 'Cannot find the requested string' by the icon for display in the control panel), the screen itself, or something else entirely?

  Sorry it's so long, but I thought it is best to include all the details in case it has been important. I hope someone can help!

  Hello Nicola

  As you know on this path is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, it is important to see what is happening exactly. I assume that your problem is not caused by the display driver. Try to properly test and notice where the screen is very dark.

  If this problem is repeated again and again that I recommend you backup your data and reinstall the unit with recovery media. On this path of unity will be factory configured and you can see if the problem still occurs. If so, it may be just caused by a malfunction of the equipment.

  Good luck!
