• Problem with the new installation of Windows XP on the Satellite A100-259

  Hi all!

  I have a problem with the fresh install WIN XP on Satellite A100-259 (PSAA2E).
  I already deleted the partition, formatted (NTFS) and tried to reinstall from recovery disk that initially provided with the laptop. But whenever I try to install a problem is detected (for the most part it's 'page in the nonpaged area failure').

  I also tried to install the OS directly from MS Windows XP Home Edition SP2 CD - the same problem.
  I checked the partition using PQ Magic and discovered that there are ' partition table error #110 ".» So, what I did:

  (1) delete partition-> create new partition-> format (NTFS)-> reinstall from recovery disk-> has not yet;
  (2) partition delete-> install WinXP CD original by create and format partition option-> has not yet;
  (3) delete the partition (using the magic of pq)-> create partition (using the magic of pq)-> format NTFS partition for win xp option-> check partition-OK no problems don't-> installation of original win XP CD-installation without changes-> option failed even once
  (4) delete the partition (pq magic)-> create partition (pq magic)-> format NTFS partition for win xp option-> check partition-OK, no problem-> installation of the recovery disc-> has not yet

  Whenever a different error is detected, so I can't identify the problem. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  Seems that there are some problems with the standards of the partitions.
  A friend of mine has tried to install the OS on the recovery CD on the laptop that has been formatted with Partitions Magic 8 and the installation failed.
  It was very strange

  Finally, we have formatted the whole HARD drive using the CD original Windows XP Pro.
  We did not remove the partition but simply kicked this CD and after the configuration process spent, we formatted the whole HARD disk and install XP without creating all the partitions.

• Satellite A100-259 and PCMCIA card reader no longer works

  I have a Satellite A100-259, I've had for about a year with no problems... so far, the PCMCIA card slot reader seems to have stopped working.

  When I insert a card reader SD PCMCIA discover the laptop hardware as a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURE' and subsequently can not find the drivers for it. I tried a couple of different PCMCIA devices and get the same question every time, I checked also double the card reader works by trying it in PC laptop Toshiba-not to the woman.

  The PC is a XP/Vista installation start-up duel and I get the same question under each operating system. I also think that it may have started after I installed upgrading the BIOS to 2.20.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, b
  Kind regards.

  Try to access the BIOS and set the defaults.
  Don t forget to save the settings after the change.

  By the way; Are you trying to reinstall the PCMCIA driver?
  Go to the Device Manager and remove the PCMCIA computer location.
  Then restart the laptop and check if Windows detects and installs the removed slot.

  Good luck

• Re: Missing ms-bus control driver Win XP for Satellite A100-259

  Hey,.

  I looked around my driver missing for awhile now, but I can't seem to find anything on the toshiba download page.

  I need a ms-buscontroler driver for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-259, for Windows XP Pro.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hmmm. In my view, this could be a card reader device that needs a compatible driver.

  I didn t find anything in your area download, but in the series A100 PSAA8.

  There is a Flash Media Texas Instruments driver. Download and try to install it.

• Updated graphics for a Satellite A100-163

  Hello
  I was wondering if it is possible to improve the graphics in the Toshibe Satellite A100-163. In the specifications of this Web site, it says it is connected by the new card PCI Express x 16 bus, this means that it is infact a graphics card in my laptop at a later date, I would be able to upgrade?
  Thank you for your help,
  M_Taylor40

  Well, the unit was delivered with an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 128 MB.
  But generally, it is not possible to update the graphics card on the laptop.
  The graphics on laptops are all just different such as a card in the desktop PC.

• Update the processor on satellite A100-528

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A100 - 528 PSAA2E model and I want to improve it with a new processor. Which processors are ok for me?

  Hello

  first of all, you cannot upgrade the machine. I mean, you're a cell phone technician to know how disassemble your machine, put the good cooling of paste on the CPU, running programs that are required to configure the processor in your system and see if the BIOS supports supported CPU?

  It s not like a desktop system, where you can exchange the VGA of CPU, RAM, and so forth. The components of a laptop are "wired", which means are not for Exchange. Only the HARD disk and the RAM can be improved but not the CPU or VGA (GPU).

  In this case, it would be best to upgrade the RAM/HDD, or buy a new machine.

• Need drivers for Satellite A100-259 wireless

  Hello

  Had to reformat my computer laptop girls (A100-259 PSAA2) due to virus issues and am trying to rebuild. Close to there, but can't get the cordless drill to work. Nothing is displayed in the system tray when it is switched on (switch on the right a light). I guess that because I reinstalled XP I need to reinstall the wireless drivers but I can't find them on the toshiba web site (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK). It only shows the Atheros management utility.

  Any advice would be very happy, especially since I'm pretty new to such things, and she lost the manual that came with the laptop.

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  I put t know why no WLAN driver is available for this model A100 and Windows XP, but if you're looking for another model A100 (e.g. Satellite A100 PSAA8).

  Then, you will find a driver Atheros WLAN for XP and it should also work.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-259 slitters

  Hello

  I had my A100-259 for 3 and a half years, had no problems (apart from I got a flat battery a couple of years ago and have been using the power since).
  I turn it on get so far and then the power cuts just the led shuts off as if there is not being able to run to him.

  I unplug it and leave it for a while, and then when I connect power, the lights come on and I can turn on, but then he lost power again. I removed the battery and tried, but still happens.

  Any ideas / solutions greatly appreciated :)

  Hello

  Well, to me it sounds like that it s a hardware problem, maybe the card mother or something else.
  Just one question: you use original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or another?

  In your case I would contact an authorized service provider. Technicians should check your laptop and tell you what is the cause. I think it would be the best way to repair the laptop.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-259: low noise level

  I just bought an A100-259. that seems to have the reading levels of low level on all sounds. I turned all maximum devices but the level is still not sufficient on the speakers. The earphones are about right.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I found the details of the A100 and there should be installed virtual sound application.
  I recommend you to check the parameters in this application.
  Play around with these settings and try to change it.

  In addition you will also find a reltek affect his manager in the control panel.
  Here, you can also change the audio settings which are responsible for the sound quality of the speaker.

• Question about the new disk on the Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

  Hello!

  To extend time to work on the battery to make hard disk access faster and to extend the disk space, I upgrade my hard drive.
  I found this beautiful disc:

  Link:
  [http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=Momentus_7200.2_SATA_3.0Gb/s_160-GB_Laptop_Hard_Drive&vgnextoid=546207c8108dd010Vgn VCM100000dd04090aRCRD & vgnextchannel = c021a47948a3d0 10VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD & reqPage = model]

  This hard drive is compatible with my Toshiba Satellite A series and you have a better solution please respone?

  Love, peace,
  Vasja.

  The HARD drive is very nice.
  The A100 PSAA9 series supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.
  The 160 GB should also be compatible because some units of the A100 series were already equipped with 160 GB hard drives.

  I think it s a HARD drive supported.

• Update disk on the Satellite 4030CDT

  Hello!

  First "Sorry!" for asking such a stupid question.

  I've Googled, manuals, forums, eBay... but nowhere find an answer exactly. I have an old laptop Satellite 4030CDT. I want to change the old 4, 3 GB of hard drive for a bigger to use it as an MP3 player and musicvideo in my bathroom.

  Can what type of hard drive (space) I use? Is it possible to use a higher than 40 GB HDD? The latest version of the BIOS is installed but I have found no info on higher disk space. Hope someone could help me.
  Thank you and greetings from the Germany
  Micha

  Hello Mich

  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find much info on this old laptop model. According to some info on the net this laptop was designed in 1999 and you must understand that there is not much info on these books.

  I don't really know what is the capacity of HARD drive max, that you can use, but if you need it for music I think only 20 or maybe 30 GB should be enough and I hope that the full capacity will be recognized correctly.

  20 GB hard drives are more expensive and you can get n eBay for little money. Buy one and test it with your good old classic.

  Bye and good luck!

  Dear wabz

  For an adequate explanation, you don't need chain. Perhaps people have posted about the same question and the answer is always the same. You cannot solve this alone because of the BIOS chip is damaged. Partner service allowed only in your country can help you.

  Please do not waste your time and contact the closest service. Addresses and phone numbers, you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support % downloads find an ASP.

• Update disk on the Satellite M70-131

  You want to upgrade my M70-131 original 60 Gb HDD.
  Is this a good choice?
  * HARD DRIVE IDE2.5 160 GB AT 5400 TR/MIN/8 MB CACHE SAMSUNG HM160HC. *

  Hello

  I searched the forum and found many threads on Sat M70 and HDD upgrade.
  Check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=41092

  The Satellite M70 (any sub-model is) seems supports the SATA HDD controller and, therefore, you need a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  But as mentioned in the other thread, you could install a hardware diagnostic tool to ensure what controller it s is exactly.
  But I think it's a s SATA

• Update disk on the Satellite M60-139

  Hello Forum friends and once again greetings from Cologne/Germany.

  Can anyone tell me what size I can switch the disk hard 80 GB of my M60-139 origin? I think it would be nice to have more space but I have heard that not every hard drive works with this model and its BIOS?

  So did someone has changed the internal hard drive--that model, what size and what service... partition? Any manual how to change?

  Concerning
  Friedel

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HDD, maybe also a 120 GB but I m not 100% sure of this size of HARD drive.
  Try it simply.
  It is important that the HARD drive will support the enhanced IDE ATA-6 interface and the 5400 RPM disk rotation.
