  Hello

  Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
  And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

  You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

  I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

• Satellite Pro A300 - should it BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

  Hi all.

  Any Satellite Pro A300 has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
  It is mentioned on this page: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/easyguard2008/EN/manageability.aspx

  I have A300-01:00 (regular Satellite, not Pro), but its T5850 has not VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS. Wonder what is the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro BIOS and can I try to use Satellite Pro A300 BIOS for my A300-01:00. Of course, I'm afraid I can't :(

  Thank you, Andy

  Hello Andy

  As far as I know the BIOS is not a universal startup program and is suitable for specific hardware architecture. Because of this Toshiba doesn t offer a BIOS for several models of laptops.

  If your laptop doesn't have virtualization option then there is nothing to do. Updating the BIOS will not help any.

• Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
  Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
  I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

  OH DEAR what a big mistake.

  Now the netbook won't start windows.
  So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
  Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

  Hello

  I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
  It's because of the SATA controller.
  You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

  So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

  -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
  Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

• Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

  Hello

  There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

  After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

  But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

  So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

  And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.

• Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

  I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
  I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
  I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

  In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
  Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

  Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

  The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - difficulties in upgrading the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to update BIOS on my new Satellite Pro A300-1EA (PSAG9E-001001EN), requested by Tempro, since version 1.50 to 1.90. The system has completely frozen during the BIOS flash, after waiting for an hour, I decided to turn the power off and pray for the best. Thank God, everything works still, but the BIOS is always v1.50, not been updated. I now read so many posts on the forum about the update of the BIOS of marbled and am now very cautious about subject to any BIOS updates at all.

  My questions are: is there about this particular update and/or with the installation of InsydeFlash problems? The BIOS updates are usually all so difficult that they have better be avoided? What are alternative means for updating BIOS, hopefully less dangerous? Also, could there be potential damage to my laptop that is associated with this is BIOS flash a miscarriage I should know about?

  Thank you very much indeed!

  Monsteress

  You can feel happy, my friend! :)
  I m surprised that your ROM module is damaged or something. In most cases, this occurs if the computer hangs during the update.

  Let me give you some advice. You should only update the BIOS if it of needed or if you have questions-problems with the laptop. You can ignore the messages of TEMPRO if your system is working properly. For example I have never updated the BIOS if my phone goes perfect never touch a running system ;)

  If not, follow the advice posted by Akuma before update you the BIOS to close all running programs, disable the AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.
  On my Satellite U400, I've updated the BIOS without problems.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - how to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

  I tried to enable the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and the setting is disabled and I was unable to change the setting to activate. I have flashed the BIOS to the new version, and now how to enable virtualization has completely disappeared.
  The laptop model is Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 Professional and BIOS version 2.10.

  How do I enable virtualization setting so I can run Windows Virtual PC mode to run compatible programs XP?

  Hello

  Did you check the specifications of your laptop first?

  The fact is that the processor must support this virtualization and according to the Web of Toshiba site, your laptop is equipped with processor Core 2 Duo T5870.
  I checked this on the page of Intel CPU and virtualization isn't supported. That means t, you can use this feature!

• Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

  Hello everyone,

  I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

  Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

  What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

  My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
  Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Best regards
  Osman

  > What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

  I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
  Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

  Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

  Nothing so unusual...
