Satellite U400 - 10 M - XP Pro facilities failed

Hello guys,.
Please, I need your advice.
I bought U400 - 10 M, model PSU40E, with Windows Vista Home Basic pre-installed.

I tried to install WinXP Pro, but during the instalation Windows sends me a message - Setup did not find any hard disk.

BIOS recognize the drive HARD, like TOSHIBA MK3252GSX.

I visited the Toshiba homepage, in order to find all the drivers, but no result.

Maybe someone has the same problem?
Thx for the support.

  • Re: Satellite U400 - failed to start the system recovery

    I have a Satellite U400-PSU44E and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit preinstalled and having some problems with my computer, had decided to use the hidden partition on the hard drive to fix the system.
    I chose 'Repair your computer' (or something similar to this), but having done, a message tells me that,

    "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer. »

    I don't know why that is. Can anyone help? It would be greatly appreciated.

    The Partition Recovery seems to be defective. You can order the replacement of Toshiba recovery disks. Which country are you?

    Another possibility could be that the HARD drive has failed. in this case, you will need to send the system to an ASP for repair.

  • Satellite U400 - failed to create the recovery disk - bad DVD player?

    Hi all

    I have a 13 inch Satellite U400.
    Due to problems with my Softkeys, lighting and hibernation status (any help on thos would also be useful) I want to create a recovery DVDs with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    The thing is: it starts when I have a CD in the DVD drive, but as soon as I put a DVD in (what is needed), it gives me an errormessage that said something like 'another application is using this drive or no disc recording where found in the laptop. 0D00E4-F0-00000000 error code).

    My DVD player does not work properly, I can play movies and the drivers and the status is ok too.
    I noticed, that error code changes, but I don't know how to get the recovery disk creator will.

    What can I do? Change something in the registry?
    I don't know what happened on my laptop, I bought a few months ago - new. I guess that, reset everything would bring my softkeys, lighting and hibernation status back.

    So, if someone nows how to work at least one of the problems, please give me advice.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    Did you create virtual CD/DVD drives with special software? If so, remove the software completely. In addition, if you have installed burning, programs, you should check if they will be started when Windows starts and if so, disable the beginning upward. So go to start > run > msconfig > start. Here, you can disable the start of burning software (for example Nero, CD Burner XP, etc.).

    And what DVD are you using for burning? I have good experiences with DVD - R Verbatim and TDK discs. These are high-quality discs and you should try it too!

    Last but not least, you need to remove the upper and lower registry filters. It is always advisable to the problems of the CD/DVD drive:
    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    Depending on your problem with the keys to enlightenment that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines the buttons of enlightenment, FN keys and other special functions on your laptop. I had a similar problem with my Qosmio F50 illumination buttons and I posted something on this subject in the Qosmio forum that you should try it too!

  • Satellite U400 - S00 Wireless connection problem

    I have a Satellite U400, which was lowered to XP Business.
    Wireless networking seems to work only intermittently.
    I can see several netoworks available and that you have selected the office, wireless access Point to connect automatically. It is the only network that I listed for to connect you.

    The laptop often fails to connect the access point, often trying to connect to another nearby wireless device unsecured.
    If I manually select the office network and click 'Connect', it asks for the key wireless (I have enter) and then it connects briefly, gets an IP via DHCP and disconnects quickly about 10 seconds later.

    If I repeat the reconnection attempts, sometimes I am able to keep the connection for several hours, but if I stop and restart I have to repeat the same procedure. I downloaded what I think is the most up-to-date intel wireless drivers, but I would appreciate a pointer to the most recent.

    I'm not using the ConfigFree, just the menu of Windows Wireless configuration base (Zeroconf service)

    This is driving me crazy. Help, please.

    Hello

    I found this thread and I would like to my experience with the U400.
    Yes, I have a U400 and I installed Win XP Pro.
    I have an Intel WLan card and I already updated the driver WLan to the State.

    I found new drivers here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    I must say that my WiFi works without problem! I have the latest version of the BIOS and I never noticed any problems.

    I must also say that I have don t use tools of any additional WLan configuration but ONLY options specific to Windows and its ok.
    I have disabled the Intel ProSet utility Msconfig and it does not load at the beginning.

    I have configured my OS and laptop computer ONLY connects to my wireless private network.
    Of course if my private Wlan is not available it automatically connects to a WLan unsafe in my range.

  • Satellite U400 chess backlit

    The backlight on my Satellite U400 guard failed. If I close the lid and open again once it comes back for a few seconds and then fails again UNLESS the power cord is out and the laptop running on battery power at which case it acts normally.

    I changed the inverter. Any other ideas?

    > UNLESS power cord is out and the laptop running on battery power, in which case it is normally.

    Did you check if the key Fn + F6 and Fn F7 combination would increase and the brightness of the screen?

    Please check if the brightness of the screen can be changed using these buttons then the FL inverter should be ok and the problem could be linked to the Win7 power management setting.

    If the problem is related to power management settings, then I would recommend this change.

    * Go to control panel-> power-> Settings Options * change Plan

    Here you can adjust the brightness of plan
    You can set this separately for the use of the battery or AC mode

    Hello

    I've got the same laptop model and updated the BIOS to version 4.70 - Win and everything last week went well.

    I also have Win 7 OS but 32 bits.

    Just a question: have you you uncompress the package correctly before you run the exe file?
    You should do this in a folder created. Moreover in the majority of cases the VAP (value added package) must be installed on your machine.

    Check it!

  • Have 4 GB of RAM on Satellite U400 but says OS only have 2 GB

    Have recently downgraded notebook Toshiba Satellite U400 (model PSU44A-00J00C) of original Windows Vista business to Windows XP Pro (pack 3 update service) assistance of the system recovery discs. Have 4 GB of RAM installed on the laptop with 32-bit system and was reading that this amount with Windows Vista, but now the figure has decreased!

    I got the digits in the information system:

    Total physical memory: 4 GB
    Available physical memory: 2 GB
    Total virtual memory: 2Gb
    Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB

    My available physical memory should not read at least 3 GB? BIOS is reading at 4 GB. Have updated the bios and chipset without change.

    Want to tighten a little more memory to the computer, since I installed it - is the best I can get 2 GB?

    Thanks for your interest, look forward to your response.

  • TPSMain.exe does not start on Satellite U400 - 14 p PSU44E running Win XP

    Hello

    I found all the drivers on the official website of Toshiba (thank you) but one in the origin of the problems: TPSMain.exe does not start when I start the computer.

    Once I type my password and login, I hear a typical Windows error sound, but no message is displayed. I noticed that when you try to start the Toshiba Power Saver utility from the Control Panel, I got an error message telling me that I have enough privileges to run this utility...

    I am the administrator!

    If you guys encountered the same problem and got a hint of trouble, feel free to post here. THX.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400 and I installed Win XP too.
    I have a user account administrator and Toshiba Power Saver works properly!
    No problem don't like on your system!

    However, in the Toshiba Power Saver Settings (installation options), you can find the option called limited allows the user to change the settings and allow different actions for each profile.

    Check that both are enabled!

    If this doesn't help then reinstalling again this tool.

  • Try to restore Satellite U400 with external ODD

    I recommend you the Win - USB forum of possible solutions.

  • Satellite U400-22Z - random character of space in addition to the letters types

    Hello!

    On a whole new Satellite U400-22Z by pressing the letters on the keyboard sometimes it types a space character in addition to the letter pressed after the letter. for example, by typing the word "test" it may look like in "you st" or "t" or your "t" (although if the problem appears, it allways inserts space at the same location in a word give, then it would always be "t's" If that Word is typed several times). the problem occurs randomly, sometimes, that the problem does not appear for an entire session or day, sometimes several times after another. the probleam appears in several programs (IE, explorer, firefox, Word, even to the connection of the user to the start!)

    I tried (after talking with toshiba support) and an update - chip and bios does not work remove the problem. even after a complete roll-back to the original state of pre-instaled/factory using the disk HARD recovery has failed. It is very difficult to locate/pinpoint the problem to some show because the problem might appear only a few days and then "strike" again...
    I am running vista home 32 on the laptop, and given that the bug appears when using only the installed software origin I dosent seem to be caused by something other than the original software...

    Any help would be greatly apreciated!

  • A sensor of fingerprint Satellite U400-151?

    N ° Satellite U400-151 doesn t have fingerprint sensor. If you control s operating manuals, you will see that the fingerprint sensor is optional and not available on each Satellite U400.
    Maybe Satellite Pro's fingerprint sensor. For this model of laptop, there are several different hardware platforms available.

    Anyway I like this small Satellite and I hope you will enjoy it a lot. ;)
