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.

  • 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.

    Since the new pc will be mo more loaded with win xp, can demote us ourselves?

    License wise you can license windows 7 legally allows you to downgrade if you wish, for compatibility reasons.

    It's the OEM to support OEM systems, so if you have any questions, then the supporting manufacturers cannot help if what the other poster said is true insofar as they will not support a drop in ratings more.

    XP mode is a very good concept, but it falls really flat in some areas.  Printer redirection is not reliable, you can't automatically USB devices like scanners attaches, communication between the Windows 7 host and guest of the XP mode is slow if you try to use a printer or shared folder to work around the problems of redirection.

    I have not found a viable solution for companies that use older scanning applications that don't working correctly in windows 7.

    Hello Adobe,

    When will the new raw update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with support Nikon D750 version come?

    Best regards

    Frank

    There will be an update to Lightroom 4. The only way that you can work with your raw D750 files is to use the autonomous and free DNG Converter to create DNG copies. If you want to be able to work on the NEF files, then you must upgrade to Lightroom 5. Lightroom does not use plug in Camera Raw. everything is part of the Lightroom program. If you want to stay up-to-date with Lightroom, you must follow the path of update/upgrade. This means than buying each new major version of Lightroom or you subscribe to plan creative cloud.

    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
    Uninstall the old driver first in the Device Manager.

    Restart the device and install the new downloaded drivers.

    Hope this helps to get better sound quality :)

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

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.

    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.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

    I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
    Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
    The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

    Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

    I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
    The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

    I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

    Any advice on how to remedy this?

    Hello

    If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
    Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

    But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
    Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
    If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - driver Webcam open fail on Windows 7

    I installed the RC of Windows 7 64 bit on my Satellite Pro P300 PSPC5E and I have problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.

    I tried to install the Wizard software for the camera, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I get an error message with "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer.' nor a camera photo or computer restart the job. I get the image in Skype, but I can't change the settings or so (dark) and the microphone is much quieter, so it was on windows XP, it is set to its maximum.

    Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

    Hello

    I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment, because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there is no official driver for Windows 7.

    Have you tried the driver of Windows Vista so that s what you can do. Alternative visit you the Toshiba us page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for driver of Windows 7 beta. Maybe it works.

    Good luck! :)

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

  • Satellite Pro P300 - install the graphics driver

    Hi all

    This is my last resort before I throw this laptop through the window - and it is a gift for someone for Christmas.

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro P300 - model PSPC1E-005008EN, 2 GB RAM, 17 "display and Intel GMA X 3100 video card.

    As a very experienced engineer, same one that makes me tear my hair out.

    When the bike video car is installed with the ATI drivers what we call, or drivers intel I get an error 12 code saying there are not enough resources to launch pilots.

    When I discovered the Device Manager with the hidden devices turned on that I have 2 video cards, 1 that works properly and 1 in the error state.

    I uninstalled the drivers, all the video cards software related and reinstalled all, or just the drivers and still no joy. I have a laptop that shows no model model of monitor or video card in display properties and the resolution doesn't go above 1024 x 768, and the image is so bright.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello!

    Your P300 has an Intel GM965 graphic card so I put t know why you want to install ATI drivers?

    I think the best way is to reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Or you try the graphics driver from Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Normally when you purchase a Toshiba laptop do not install some drivers or utilities from Toshiba, it s all preinstalled.
