• How to install Windows XP Home on Satellite A300?

  Please help me! How to reformat and install the operating system Windows XP Home for Satellite A300?
  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you...

  Hello

  First you need to download xp drivers: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  Second, you must create the floppy or custom installation CD of Windows XP with integrated storage drivers. the custom installation CD, you can use Nlite http://www.nliteos.com/. There are guides in different languages, so you won't have a problem to create a. Don't forget it will have to include "Storage drivers", without them, Setup does not recognize the hard drive.
  Third install XP :)

  But be aware, you may encounter some problems, as audio doesn't work do not (updated Windows XP specific need or Service pack 3), some Fn keys not working do not, some unrecognized hardware and so on... You really have to patient when installing XP on new laptops. So good luck

  (Tip: download all readers and store it because it is quite possible that the LAN/WAN connection will not work without a driver)

• Windows 7 drivers for Satellite A300-20v necessary

  Hello:

  I bought Windows 7 from Microsoft, but I faced the most difficult thing: that Toshiba did not support win 7 drivers for my computer laptop "Satellite A300-20v.
  I don't know what I can do now.
  Thanks for supporting me in this situation.

  Thank you.

  Satellite A300 is certainly supported and I can't believe that the Win7 drivers will be offered for this model of laptop.
  I am owner of Satellite A300-1LI, and I checked Toshiba support page first. At the time current stuff Win7 is not available for my PSAG8E model and I have to wait with the Win7 installation.

  I just hope that the drivers will be available soon.
  Did you have a Win7 DVD under Vista? Can you use it for upgrading too?

• How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

  Hello

  Since a few days, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I am very satisfied with the laptop, although I do not work with Vista, so I prefer the laptop reformat and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).

  However I do not know if I have to do something special for him, because it's my first laptop I have and I haven't had that one time a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now I'm spending operating system, I think I need some disk driver for my webcam and stuff like that.

  I hope some1 can help me :)

  Thank you very much

  BTW, I'm Dutch, sorry for my English.

  > And I have a legitimate XP Pro license, but I n t understand what you mean with the things of the sata driver. do you mean that I have to ADD the drivers on the disk with windows XP?

  The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers that are needed to recognize the HARD drive during XP installation procedure.
  So, you need to include the SATA driver by pressing the F6 key while installing XP is loading. For this procedure, an external floppy drive unit is necessary.

  If you n t have an external USB FDD drive, then you could create a CD of Win XP and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.

  A single note; Use the search function of the forums for research on other threads on the nLite and how to create CDs. I remember that there are many discussions in the forum on this topic.

• I can installi Windows XP SP2 on Satellite A300-15 has

  I bought the laptop Satellite A300-15 a, where Windows Vista was preinstalled.
  I want to uninstall Vista and load Windows XP SP2.

  Can I do this? All the drivers will work once I do this?

  Thank you

  Ravi

  Why not!

  Have you read some discussions on this topic here in the forum?
  Isn't it? So, you should do this!
  There are enough threads that are very useful.

  PS; new laptops series supports the controller SATA HDD and SATA drivers, which are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, should therefore be included in the Win XP operating system.

• Windows Vista freezes on Satellite A300

  Hi everyone, I recently bought a Satellite A300 pre loaded with Vista just before Christmas.

  Everything seemed to go OK first but now my computer has taken to freezing on me at least once a day and to do everything I have to the control + alt + delete and restart. It is extremely annoying. Can someone advise me (in really simple talk as I am not techhie spirit!) what is the problem and how to fix. All responses appreciated!

  Hello

  I too have a PSAG0A of A300 Satallite that freezes in Vista Home Premium. It varies between 30 seconds and a few hours before he can lock up, but it has been getting worse over time. Analysis antivirus shows an own system of several vendor scanning but it is difficult to make them fill out now because of the freeze. I am looking for a factory reset with the recovery CD, otherwise I'll have to take for a cheque of guarantee. If anyone knows of a driver who needs to update or what can be the cause please advise.

• Problem Windows 7 MaxxAudio on Satellite A300-1EG

  Hello

  I install Win 7 x 64 on my Satellite A300-1EG (a Vista x 32) and when I install Realtek hd audio driver I found not the boost volume options (low bosst and terrible thrust).

  If not turn on this options sounds not good quality but now Realtek Control Panel don't have this option.

• Impossible to update driver Windows XP Home on Satellite A300-1 EC edition graphics card

  I just changed my OS from VISTA to XP.
  There is a new update of my graphics card (Intel GMA965 express chipset X 3100 display card). When I scan my system to the Intel web page, a new update being found but I can not download because the Intel driver update utility cannot be updated.

  Latest version is not signing by TOSHIBA. So, how can I update my display adapter driver?
  MW I use laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 EC

  Hello

  The display driver should be used from the Toshiba driver page.
  This view is a driver that has been designed especially for the use of the laptop and it s certified by Toshiba.
  If you want to use another driver, you do so at your own risk.

  The update should not be really problematic. Download the driver package and store somewhere on the HARD drive.
  Then go to Device Manager, choose graphics card, then update the driver.
  Here, you choose the advanced option. Then choose the last option (called I want to select the driver, or something like that) and point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD drive.
  Complete the update and restart the laptop.

  That s it.

• Windows 8 Upgrade, Toshiba Satellite C660 Matshita DVD does not work error code 19

  I just upgraded my Toshiba Satellite laptop to windows 8 and having a problem with my Matshita DVD-RAM UJ890AS. In Device Manager, I got the error "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19).

• A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

  Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
  I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

  * Some info first.*

  CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
  Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

  * Questions.*

  1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

  3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
  If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

  > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
  The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

  > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
  But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

  Hi mate

  To be honest I wonder about these questions.
  Windows 7 is fully supported and normally you should get no problems with Windows 7 running on Satellite A300.

  The Windows 7 drivers are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. T
  for this I put t expect serious problems.

  If you have any questions, feel free to ask the people here in the community. :)
