  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)

  See you soon

• Re: How to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300

  I need to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300 because of a problem, I had with it (the computer does not start and the recovery option does not work). It has not come with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  Do I have to get a CD by myself and if so - what version of windows vista is compatible with my laptop?
  (I can not contact the provider because I is not guaranteed).

  > It came not with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  You had an option pre-installed on your laptop that you helped to create the recovery disk. Seems you didn't create this disk in the past

  Well, in this case, you can order the CD here:

• 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.

• Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  5. sometimes it does not install the automatic updates and it shows me Error 8000FFFF.
  Could someone help me? Thank you.

  > 1. they replaced the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?
  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  > 2. The touchpad scrolling does not work everytime I turn on the laptop. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver.

  > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  > 4. Whenever I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I have to turn it on or automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  Please check this: [turn auto update or disable | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-automatic-updating-on-off#turn-automatic-updating-on-off=windows-vista]

• Windows Vista RC1 keyboard & Satellite A100-225

  Hi I have a new laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-225 and as a
  journalist, I obviously do a lot of typing. I'm really very reasonable
  typist with a typing speed of up to 60 words per minute with a quite small
  error rate. In any case I found that when using this system with Windows
  Vista RC1 2600 and typing of reports and so on, only the cursor will often
  inexplicably jump to random page parts - such as for example I can be typing one
  sentence and towards the middle of it, the cursor will jump on the
  the third - or second previous line, or he can jump just at the beginning of the
  first line, or the beginning of the line, I type, or even just to
  at the beginning, or way (or indeed any random point) of the word that I'm
  If you type at the time. (I've only really tested in Windows Mail and)
  Internet Explorer in the forum messages so far - as I still have Windows XP
  installed where I do most of my hits to my work. (Windows XP only)
  shows this fault of all BTW, who would be pretty much eliminate
  any type of hardware failure).

  I also tried a number of other USB keyboards that I plugged in this
  System (3 in total) and they all had more or less similar errors. Some even
  print numbers and symbols in the place where the letters and characters should
  be, despite the fact that my bar of page layout and the language of the keyboard is certainly
  100% (triple checked) updated British English UK.

  Now I am really very worried that late in the day will not be
  possible to fix it in time before Vista gold is released-
  especially since I planned to buy it soon.

  I bought this laptop because he had a "Vista Ready" label on this subject.

  Hello

  This laptop has been delivered not with Windows Vista and anyway; Windows Vista is not official on the market. There is only a BETA version.
  Beta versions of the OS usually include most small bugs. As a result, Microsoft offers Beta version only for the test.

  I think that if you finally get one version of the Vista operating system, all bugs will be fixed. I recommend using the Xp at this time. Sorry, I can see t any other solution.

• Can I install Windows Vista on my Satellite P100 English more?

  Hello

  I had Satellite P100-448 French added to Windows Vista. In the properties for the computer, it is said that the location of the PC is France. Get and install the English Windows Vista for my P100-448?

  Thank you

  You ask a Vista language added? Sorry dude, but something like it doesn't exist.
  If you want to use the English version of the Vista operating system you must buy the full version of the Vista operating system in the English language and install it on the laptop.
  There is not another way to get the Vista in English

• Question about upgrading to Vista 64 - bit - Satellite A300-1EG

  Hello

  I wanted to ask you, how can I run Vista 64-bit without losing all the software that I got carried away with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1EG?
  I would be remiss and so on the Toshiba disk creator?
  Is there a way to extract somehow the recovery DVD?

  Thank you

  Please do not mix two different things. 64-bit and 32-bit versions are not the same and if your mobile phone is supported for the version of Vista 64-bit, you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  Have you already checked this?

  BTW: recovery image cannot be used for spare parts. It can only be used in the package.

• 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.
