Upgrade to Windows XP on Satellite Pro 490CDT

Hi people,

I have a portable Satellite Pro 490CDT with a P2-233 processor and 64 MB RAM/4 GB HDD running Windows 98. I am interested in upgrading to Windows XP, mainly because I'm in photography and want to use Adobe Photoshop parties4 (XP only, I think). I used "Upgrade advisor" of Microsoft and he suggested that there should be no problem. I'm not so sure?

Someone at - it experience to do it with a computer configured the same way? If you think I'm could having problems - need more RAM etc - someone tell me? If I have to install a hardware could someone tell me "a way idiots to do?

See you soon

Hello

First if you use Windows XP, you need more RAM 64 MB.
To use Windows XP, you must pass the memory. You can upgrade this laptop for max 160 MB. Well well, in my opinion it s not enough to use the WinXP with a maximum return. I'm also sure Adobe Photoshop software use more than 160 MB memory m.

  • Can I upgrade to Windows 7 on Satellite Pro L510

    Hello. I recently bought a Satellite Pro L510.

    It came with a program to upgrade Windows 7 with PSLFFL-002002 part number, which shows that they are eligible for the upgrade of windows to windows 7.

    However, when my windows 7 cd came and when I tried to install it, there was a notice saying that my model is not eligible to upgrade to windows 7. When I referred to the given site 'http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/mlist_sp.htm' I noticed the L510 Satellite Pro series is not found in the list.

    Later, I called the center of Contact from Toshiba for re - confirm whether or not L510 pro series can be upgraded to win 7, and the person told me to reformat my laptop to factory settings. He said that I should refer to 'http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/portal/public/win7/specs.jsp?model=proL510' instead in regards to laptops for the upgrade of windows.

    However before I reformat my laptop I clarify / re - confirm L510 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to win 7. I don't want to reformat my laptop for nothing.

    Hope someone could help me.

    Thank you.

    I don't know how it works in Asia or with Asian laptops but the fact is that all new laptops are designed for Win7 and I see no single reason for your laptop are not upgradeable to Win7.

    Asian laptop models are not known to me, but I did not understand in your ad which OS came preinstalled as factory condition. Your laptop came with Vista pre-installed and you have upgrade you DVD Win7 or what?

    AFAIK preinstalled Vista can be improved using Win7 upgrade DVD and after upgrade you must not activate it. It will be automatically activated.

    So please be so kind and explain to us exactly what you want to do and how you want to do.

  • No CD/DVD drive after upgrade of Windows 8 on Satellite Pro S300L

    The cd Rom drive no longer works after upgrade to Windows 8.
    The drive is not displayed in the Solution Explorer, either. It is mentioned: error in the register.

    I can not change the right driver in Device Manager - probably it was deleted.
    Is the driver of the * MATHSITA DVD-RAM UJ880AS drive * for Windows 8 available?

    How can I make my cd Rom drive working again?
    How can I fix the error?

    Could guide you me in registry change (upper and lower filters) if necessary?

  • Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

    I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

    I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

    I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

    And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

    In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

    8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

    Win 7 would be the best choice in this case

  • Windows XP on Satellite Pro 4310

    Are there problems in the installation of Windows XP Pro on a Satellite Pro 4310, running Windows 2000? Download from Toshiba site has no drivers for this OS and the model (except a BIOS upgrade).

    You are right. There is no drivers available on the Toshiba site Toshiba. This unit is very old and I guess that Xp was not available. Unfortunately, there is no other possibility. You can try to install Windows XP but everything also features Toshiba will not work.

  • The upgrade memory and HDD on Satellite Pro A300-1EA

    So, I'm new to this forum so first of all Hello to all!

    I plan to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1EA and I came to the conclusion that I need to buy more memory that the thing has already installed (2 048 MB).
    I tried to search for information through Kingston and OCZ, but have not found something solid on what memory modules are supported by the A300-1EA.

    The A300-1EA uses DDR2 800 Mhz type of memory (max 8192MB) instead of just dealing with one module 2084 installed, I had intended to get two of them.

    What I have to buy two identical modules, or can I increase memory by simply adding a module to match installed?
    So if anyone has an idea where I could find on the modules of memory supported, that would be swell! :)

    The other thing is quite the same, but only with hard disks. I found many potential readers than fullfill my needs for a faster drive (upgrade of 5400 RPM / min-> 7200 RPM), but I don't know which ones work with this laptop.

    After all, I'm in the impression that laptops are not so easy on these pieces as desktop computers.

    Thanks in advance!

    Satellite Pro A300-1EA belongs to the series of PSAG9E, and it seems that it was fitted on the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express.
    As far as I know, that you can improve this laptop 4 GB RAM max so I wonder which tells you something about 8 GB support.
    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB, and you can use the 200-PIN SODIMM 800 MHz modules.

    But to be honest I don t understand why you want to upgrade if the 32-bit Windows operating system will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system.

    With regard to the drive HARD;
    You need a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  • No sound after installing Windows 7 on Satellite Pro U200

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional on my Satellite Pro U200 10 p.

    Available for XP Pro.

    Sound has stopped working since the new facility (which fromatting the drive - no partition) and can not find a solution. The v6.10.1.6000 of SoundMAX Integrated Digittal HD Audio Driver is installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but this doesn't seem to be the right driver. I can't find info to tell me what the correct driver can be either. The Toshiba site is a little sparse on Windows 7 drivers for this model and gives no indication that the driver may be is.

    Windows 7 does not think that there is a problem and some reports that "this device works properly." in speaker properties > Configuration information dialog box. However not coming out, the speakers or the 3.5 mm jack

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    Go to Device Manager and check what sound chip you have exactly:

    Use this statement:
    [How to identify an unknown device? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]

    Then you should be able to find a good pilot.
    I also recommend remove/delete the sound card in Device Manager.
    Just select the audio remove card and press on, and then restart the laptop

    PS: Are you sure that the sound is not muted? Please check this too!

  • Re: Windows 7 on Satellite Pro C50-A-1HQ

    I have a Satellite Pro C50-A-1HQ with windows 8.1 and I'm pretty tired of this OS because of problems with the use of disc 100% that I get sometimes and I have not been able to solve.

    I would like to install windows 7 in this labtop. Do you know if there is a problem with that? Windows7 will work fully? I need to change anything before I install it?

    Thanks to you all!

    I don't know what can be wrong with the use of disk, and I hope that you tried to optimize version of the OS preinstalled.
    I visited the Toshiba download on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and I found all the drivers, tools and utilities for Win7 64-bit if your machine is fully supported. To be honest I think that your machine will work fine and stable with Win7.

    Before do you anything create recovery disk (DVD or USB) using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and you can use it at any time if you have notebook with factory again.

  • Memory should what upgrade I buy for my Satellite Pro A60?

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E, who currently has 192 MB of RAM and 2.8 GHz Celeron processor.

    My problem came when I tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 on it, but it would not allow me to do so because he needed 384 MB of RAM to run it. I was wondering if someone could tell me what RAM upgrade is compatible with my machine and if it inserted in another port or if I have to get out the old and replace?

    Thank you

    Hello

    your laptop is 256 MB internal memory, I'm not sure why it shows only 192 MB. This internal memory can be replaced only by a technician. But you also have a currently unused memory slot, in which you can place a maximum of 1024 MB of RAM.

    Here are the modules from Toshiba lets you:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

    In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

    So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)

  • Upgrade of Windows 8 on Satellite P300 - possible?

    Thank you.

    Yes, it is possible to install Win 8 but as Satellite P300 is not part of the Win8 laptop models supported, you will not find to win 8 drivers.
    You will need to search for and collect these drivers with your own hands
    While this may be a little problem but its certainly possible to use Win 8
