  > Where are a lot of drivers on toshiba site but I don't want to install them all because some of them are unlesses.
  Funny... I doubt that. ;)
  Why do you think that should Toshiba offer drivers that they are not needed?

  To be honest, I can't tell what drivers are missing because the screenshots are not in the English language.

  In your case I would visit the Toshiba driver download site. Download and install each driver and tool that you can find for your laptop model. It's really important. Otherwise, things will not work properly. They do not slow laptop because they are needed.

  Hello!

  On your BSOD, you can search the Knowledge Base Microsoft for this question. You can find good descriptions how to solve problems.
  I searched for you and founded this interesting link:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314063/

  As for the other problems I can say not easy to understand because s he s is not English but I think that the reason for this is the BSOD so try to solve this first.

  Good bye

• Re: Toshiba Satellite A300-129: Windows XP installation

  Hi people,

  I have a question regarding Toshiba Satellite A300-129;
  I would like to install Windows XP on it (because of stability issues with Vista), but when I enter in the configuration of Windows XP, I get the message that Windows Setup did not find any HDD installed on this computer, even if the BIOS says there is one installed. Do I need a driver disk to install Windows XP on this machine?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I guess, you should integrate sata drivers:

• Cannot start the Toshiba Satellite A300 in normal mode or safe mode.

  Original title: Normal and safe mode start two taped please wait

  Hi my problems started last night when I tried to open my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300 Windows Vista)

  In normal mode starts near the top of the screen loads fine up please wait...
  I left on until this morning that then the screen turned black and nothing was clickable.
  I can't boot mode safe either, as it happens the same thing.
  Sometimes when I try and start it tells me that the C drive has something wrong with it and what are the fixing.
  A warning saying that this file is corrupted and unreadable left me with a scintillating display that fluctuated between black and the background of vista.
  I managed to log on once while my office quickly froze and I had to close my laptop.

  Startup Repair cannot detect all problems. I restore Windows to an earlier date with the system restore but that did nothing to help and when I tried to restore the system to an earlier date of even the sign of a catastrophic failure rises.

  I'm really ideas outside the restoration of factory settings.
  Someone please help.
  Thank you

  Hello

  
  Have you tried another recovery option?
   
  
  I suggest you to press the F8 key as the computer starts up to the top and check the option in the advanced boot menu.
   
  
  Advanced, including safe mode startup options
   
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode-1
   
  
  If you are able to open the advanced boot menu then you can execute the menu command prompt and type the command and check.
   
  
  Type CHKDSK c:/r or
  
  Type CHKDSK c:/f
   
  
  Important: even if running chkdsk on the drive if any bad sectors are found, chkdsk attempts to repair this sector and if all data on this sector it could get lost.
   
  
  If you are not able to perform the steps then you may need to get the Vista installation DVD. You can contact the manufacturer for more details.

• L750-1LC - BIOS Update & policy of Toshiba Satellite

  I own a Satellite L750-1LC and got not even 2 months ago so it is covered with the guarantee and the additional service of guaranteed etc. nomatterwhat.

  A few days ago I was updating the laptop as Tempro prompted me to do, and generally update is not
  something I was doing for the first time.

  On the latest BIOS update, the pc restarted and then when the Office stood, process the Flashmemory - erase/write went up and out of nowhere, a pop-up message with an error halted all, computer laptop froze and officially since that time, the laptop was kind of death.

  Searching through forums, I discovered that there is a problem with this update of the BIOS and others
  had passed through the same.

  Now, what is the policy of Toshiba when you give them the laptop for the problem to be solved.

  First, they asked me WHY I was updating... (emm, own software guests of Toshiba you too even if you are just a beginner with the PC is not so difficult)

  Secondly, they said that I am lucky because they will fix it for free because I have this nomatterwhat warranty... (... I thought guaranteed nomatterwhat would be a replacement laptop dead...?)

  Third, told me that usually the BIOS update is made of Toshiba service and not only by myself and because the laptop died of a software problem is not their fault... (Excuse me? BIOS update pushed at Toshiba... makes your laptop dead and is your fault instead of Toshiba, recognizing that it's absolutely their fault in the
  first place...)

  The thing is that I wanted to share it with you all and of course I try to contact Toshiba with the history because I can't accept their mistake became mine and I have to pay for something they have caused intentionally or not...

  Hello

  This interesting story from my experience I never had problems with a BIOS update. I did it several times on my two different laptops Toshiba.
  I always used a version of BIOS based on the victory, which must be secured.

  But a friend of mine had an update of the BIOS issue... something went wrong during the procedure because the antivirus and Firewall blocked something, but not sure about that the laptop was not too bad however, the ROM module had to be flashed once more using crisis disk that I can remember the ASP could again using this flash drive was all done for free even if the warranty was not valid

• Re: updated the BT Stack for Windows by Toshiba - Satellite A300-1 ms

  How to upgrade the Bluetooth stack for windows by toshiba? I need to uninstall the other existing on my Satellite A300-1 ms or I just install above?

  Hello

  Usually you could install it over the old BT stack.
  But if you receive a notification that an old BT stack must be removed first, then remove it and then install a new one.

  By the way:
  This portal of BT from Toshiba is really useful and helpful. It contains a lot of FAQ s o that could be interesting for you.

• Can not enter into the BIOS of Toshiba Satellite Pro S500-15W

  I am trying to enter a Toshiba satellite pro S500-15W bios. I tried the key F2 and FN + F2 keys don't set fixed no joy. Then downloaded the latest version (2013) the update of the bios for this series and windows 7, 32 bit. When I try to run the update I get the message "this computer is not supported". If anyone can help.

  Try to hold down the F12 key during the restart of the unit. You will see several options on the page that appears. You'll want to install at the bottom. I have the case of the warning you will are you aure you have win 7?

  Most of the time you get this error, or you have a different version, in this case 64 bit? or another OS 8.1 or 10? Take a look at your computer, control panel settings of IE - settings then you can ook at what OS you have and the 32-bit version of or64.

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

• Firmware update & alerts registration on Satellite A300-15 b

  Hello.

  I had 2 problems with Toshiba tools on my Satellite A300-15B (Vista)

  1. alarm remember to save my computer is displayed every time you start the system, and I am already registered in my computer some time ago...
  I tried to disable the alert, but once I used an option to disable alerts record, it turned grey and nothing has changed. What should I do to get rid of this alert? :)

  2 Toshiba Tempro reminds me the upgrade of the firmware of the DVD-ROM. But I can't find my version should be upgraded... The readme file wants me to check if I had 'TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - 1632H (TO02)', 'TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - 1632 (TO01):' or "TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - 1632H (TO03)". But I myself "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA T - 40N (JT03)". Maybe I did something wrong...

  I'd be happy if someone answered my questions. :)

  Hello

  With regard to the point;

  (1) this alert can be disabled easily in MSCONFIG.
  Use the msconfig command to start the system configuration tool. In the tab called start System (it s a last second) provides a list of applications that load automatically when Vista loads.
  There, you can try to disable (uncheck) the application that is responsible for these alerts.

  (2) alert tempo always if a new driver has been published on the Toshiba page.
  The fact is that many different series laptop was equipped of various CD/DVD players. Then maybe the firmware is not available for your drive and the update is not necessary. In any case; my recommendation is; never change a system running and don't update anything if she s not really necessary ;)
