• Need advice on the installation of WinXP/2000 on Satellite Pro 4270

  Hello!

  (Sorry for the redundancy of this topic on this forum, too.)

  Please, any suspicion on this strange problem will be appreciated.

  I bought a used Satellite Pro 4270, with totally empty 6 GB drive, a pretty neat and apparently well kept machine...

  But, trying to make a new clean Win2000Pro installed on it, as previously successfully dozens of times on other PC machines, installation will be ending in a minute after that is to start with the 4 on setupdd.sys error!

  On WinXPPro new clean install, that the procedure will be stuck in less than 10 seconds, without any error at all...

  So, it might be the reason the cause?

  I tried several different corrective actions on this machine and guess several reasons, the cause, for example

  -the hard drive works fine on other machines and has also been fully verified and updated in shape at low altitude
  -copies of CD installation I tried several all work fine on other machines
  -the BIOS has been upgrade v2.70 just some time ago
  -the CMOS was turned off, i.e. in default some time ago
  -the machine was torn off at the minumum on audio memory, PCI, USB, etc.
  -the machine must be somehow strangely, which on the BIOS or HDD?
  -are there some 'weird' IDE or other driver disappeared on this case?
  -tests with installing Win98SE and FAT32 will not lead to a better result, just somehow different...

  Hello Pete

  It's a really bad situation. If you do clean install of the OS you na? t need any special drivers. Everything must be preinstalled when installing the OS is completed successfully.

  If you have a few HARD drive replacement, you should try to use it and see if the HARD drive is certainly not responsible for this. The fact is that W2000 and WXP can be installed successfully on many other old models of laptops and because of that I can't imagine that it is not possible to do the same on your device.

  Is it always that W2000 is supported for this device and you can find that page to download all the drivers of W2000 on Toshiba.

• Satellite Pro 4270: after update BIOS CPU speed at 250 MHz

  Welcome.

  I have upgraded the BIOS to version 2.7 (downloaded on toshiba website) in Satellite Pro 4270 and after her, my bus speed decrease to 250 MHz, so now I have Celeron 250 MHz instead of 500 MHz. You have some suggestions? Where can I find the old version of the BIOS in v2.7?
  Thank you

  HI Artur,

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to download an older version of BIOS on yout laptop since the BIOS update procedure is written to test later versions pre-installed and not too write.

  You will need to take your laptop to a Service partner certified to have a previous version of the BIOS re-installed.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Also, I wasn't able to find the drivers for Win XP for this device.
  However, if you want to install Windows XP you can do, but as said above some functions may not work.

  The last possibility is to check the other laptop computer series and try to install drivers other laptops that support the same features.
  Maybe you about success.

• Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

  I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

  But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

  In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
  The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

  The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

  In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

  Hello

  I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
  Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

  While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

• Lack of Win98SE PCI/Sound driver for Satellite Pro 4270

  Hello

  I have an old Satellite Pro 4270 with Win98SE license.
  I have no driver CD and only a Win98SE installation CD. So I installed Win98SE.
  From Toshiba Web site show me a lot of drivers for Win98SE which I installed.

  But I have not found a driver for the PCI card that has a yellow "?" in the Device Manager. I do not mean the PCMCIA slots.

  I installed the driver of his Yamaha DS - XG, but I can not here any sound.

  So where can I find the PCI driver and sound driver better.

  Great! :)

  Thank you for your comments.

  I have more or less of work Satellite Pro 4270 (4200 Series) computer laptop with XP on it.

  IrDA works very well.

  Some suggestions please. Thank you

  Hello!

  I understand, were you solder the module USB motherboard and then solder another module?

  I mean, what have you done with the module USB, replacing? Sorry, I don't remember exactly how the USB module is connected to my mobo SP4270 seen last about the half a year ago... If the welding, I don't wonder the problem... but if not, there may be a solution...

  I Satellite Pro 4280 14 "and have no problem. I bought a second hand Satellite Pro 4270 13 "but the graphics on the screen appear to be slow. Tests using Direct X cube rotation is unclear. I've set up two screens mod with a CRT 17 '' monitor and two screens side by side, the CRT is icon perfect, but the 13 "laptop screen is too blurry.

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro A120-184 - SATA or PATA interface

  Hello

  I have a 120-184 (1 year) and want to know if there a SATA or PATA interface? I need to upgrade the hard drive, but here? m do not know what model to buy... To be honest I don't really know the difference!

  Sorry for stupid questions,
  Thanks in advance,
  Mike

  Hey Buddy

  You need a SATA HDD.
  The P - ATA is a technology more old which has been replaced by a new interface standard called SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).

  As I m wrong not the satellite Pro A120 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive.

  I think you should be able to use the 100 GB or maybe a 120 GB hard drives.
  More big disk HARD s could not be recognized by the BIOS correctly.

  In case you I would not try larger 120 GB HARD disk sizes.

  See you soon

• HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

  Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

  The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

  PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
  PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

  You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

  All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
  Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

  I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
  Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB
  Number of discs: 2
  Number of Heads: 4

  Well, you have the difference between SATA and IDE hard drives.
  This laptop was certainly equipped 2.5 HDD that support the IDE interface.

  I know that some L10 notebooks were shipped with 40 GB and 60 GB HARD drive.

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  I want to exchange the hard drive of my Satellite Pro M10. Can someone tell me what drives can I use? On ebay, I found a disk HARD 160 GB fot this model, but in the manual they talked only about 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.

  Thanks for any help!

  Your old laptop IDE interface for the connection of HARD drive, so I think you can use max 120 GB HARD drive.
  It should be enough for this oldie? Do you agree with me?

• What is the interface for a HDD Satellite Pro L20?

  I want to upgrade the hard disk of 40 GB in my Satellite Pro L20 to a larger drive. The manual does not say what type of interface, it is. Any hard disk of standard internal SATA 2.5 "x 1/8 H will be adapted?

  Hello

  You will need the height of 2.5 9.5 mm IDE HDD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB or 100GB.

  As you can see the IDE and not SATA HDD is necessary!

• SSD upgrade for Satellite Pro P200 (PSPB7A-01000J) - possible?

  Hello world

  I had a Satellite Pro P200 for 3 years and more. It came with Vista Business pre-installed, but I have successfully installed Windows 7 a few months ago.

  A few months ago, I replaced the C drive in my office with a Solid State Drive and now he sings - program start and loading of the system is much faster than before.

  Now I'm wondering if the SSD upgrade even could be done to my trusty P200 and if yes, what brand/model of SSD could be better. It should be 128 GB or 256 GB maybe.

  Anyone else been in this way? The results? Pitfalls?

  All responses appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Greg.

  Hello

  I think that it should be possible.
  You must use a SATA SSD drive since the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  To be honest, I never tried to upgrade the laptop with a SSD but SSD is not very different from the HARD drive and normally should not be a problem.
  In some cases, an update of the firmware of SSD may be necessary but usually these firmware updates should be available on the SSD drive manufacturer support page.
