Windows Vista on Satellite M60-104

I need to install Windows Vista RC1 to test the operation of the applications under Vista, and my Satellite M60 is the only PC with a pretty good spec to run it. Are there problems installing Vista on this model?

Don't know if it will have the same problem as the M40, where there seems to be a conflict with the PCMCIA drivers that keeps him from start. (The unit on the M40 motorway is Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia.) There is a way around this, however.

With a name like "techpro" maybe it's a bit basic, but:
You have a complete, tested backup?
You plan to use it on dual boot?

On the M40, the installation runs smoothly until the second reboot "Finish Installation" and after that just hangs.

You must boot from the dvd, choose the line of command/Install/repair/advanced option and rename (or delete) the following files:
Pcmcia.sys Windows\system32\drivers
windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository pcmcia.inf_* (numbers here are different on the build 5600/5728).

Or it may be a different configuration and install and start very happy...

  • Drivers for Windows Vista and Satellite M60

    I´d would like to know when Toshiba will release drivers for this type of laptop for sure Vista premium computer laptop.

    We have been waiting 1 month and a half, why users like me of this laptop are declassified on this way?

    Hello Tomas

    You should know that there is no producer of laptop that will support all models of laptops for the Vista operating system. The same situation is with models of Toshiba laptops. Each laptop producer must create dead line. I assume that this deadline may be portable production data or maybe hardware configuration because Microsoft gave some hardware requirements for the installation of Vista.

    It seems stupid, but Microsoft has obviously quite a lot of influence on all of this. In any case, on the latest portable WXP, you will see sticker to Vista. This means that devices with this sticker that can be preinstalled Vista (home to the less basic edition). For these models, you can expect a Vista support but for your older Satellite M60 chances are not so good because this laptop has probably no Vista capable sticker. My M70 also comes without this sticker.

    I'm sure that you can install Vista on your device. I recommend you create the second partition on your HARD drive and install Vista to test the feature. I'm sure it will be successful. I tested it on my Satellite M70 too and it works well but I am certainly not so happy with it and will use WXP Pro as before.

    Bye and good luck!

    I need to install the latest driver for the video graphics card but am unable to locate it. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
    I looked at the section Download Files, provided all the information in the drop-down menu, but every time I type driver VGA in the search box, all I get is a message saying that there is no results matching my criteria.

    Vista driver, you can find it here , and for all versions of Windows, you can find it here

    But, if the driver does not work or not found, use Lavalys EVEREST Ultimate Edition

    The Trial Version should be OK.

  • Satellite M60-104 - vertical lines on the LCD

    Hello guys,.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M60-104 and in recent months, I noticed vertical lines on the LCD screen. How can I solve the problem?

    Any response will be useful,

    thanx

    Hello

    First of all, you should check if you have the same problem on an external monitor. So you can check if the problem is the graphics card or screen.

    However, I think that the motherboard or display needs to be replaced. To do this, you can go to an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite M60-104 Bluetooth?

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help, I bought the laptop above (ser:75389208 K) and cannot determine if he admitted it BT., there is nothing in the spec to say there, and there is no sticker on the base. But it has no software BT installed and there is a BT device listed in the hardware Manager. Odly, it has no option of Toshiba to buy a BT device? Try to use BT, I get the message device not active, I tried switch hard and soft.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Each unit with BT also has label of BT in the lower corner of the laptop. I found the info Satellite M60-104 has no BT and it's not about BT. S image designed for the M60 Series. If a unit has BT, the software is ready for use.

    If you want to use BT the best advice is to use the key USB BR.

  • To install Vista on Satellite M60

    Is that what anyone has experienced hardware problems during the installation of Vista on the laptop above. I have already increased the RAM to 2 GB, which is the maximum.

    I'm sitting looking at a copy of Vista and do not know to install on my laptop or home built PC, Help!

    Thank you

    Hello amber

    If I remember well satellite M60 is not portable to Vista and there may be a bit more problematic with Vista support. I imagine that you will have problems because of incompatible BIOS version, but you can check your hardware using Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. You can find it HERE

    Please use it and see the hardware compatibility report.

    Just for example: I managed to install Vista on Satellite M70. It is also portable to Vista but Vista works well.

  • Need of Windows Vista on Satellite M30X Toshiba power management tools

    Hi all

    recently switched to Windows Vista with my Satellite M30X.
    Unfortunately I can't manage my power options, because Windows doesn't let me do for the original use Toshiba machine tools to the place, but those with my laptop, I received are not compatible with Vista.
    There are no files available in this category on the download from Toshiba site.

    Do you have any ideas where to get these tools? Toshiba, or something different, but still compatible with Toshiba and Vista?
    Or at least how do to enable advanced power management options in Windows?

    Thank you very much for all the advice!
    Martin

    Hello

    Toshiba Power saver for Vista is not out for Satellite M30X, and it seems that you use clean Vista power options.
    But to be honest, clean Vista power options aren't bad and can be configured easily.

    Best regards

  • Drivers error recover Windows Vista on Satellite A200

    Hello

    I replaced the HD of my Toshiba Satellite A200. Replicate the original drive of partitioning in the new drive and installed the original SO (Windows Vista) from the recovery disc.

    Everything was fine. However, when I booted Windows for the first time, he could not put an end to the automatic configuration phase. An error message appears on the screen: he had been unable to find all the drivers it needs.

    After accepting the error message, windows has restarted the system without giving me no chance.

    Can anyone tell me what was wrong with the Windows recovery process?
    How can I add the necessary drivers or skip the process of autoconfiguration to do more later?

    Unfortunately, no one can say with certainty what went wrong.
    Please set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install recovery image once more. It will be interesting to see if the same problem occurs again.

  • Formatting and recovery of Windows installation on Satellite M60

    Hi guys!

    I want to format my Toshiba Satellite M60 soon. But I don't have the slightest idea how to do this and even more I don't know how to recover my Windows XP. I have Toshiba Express Media Player Recovery CD but nothing else because Windows was already on my drive.

    Can you help me how to format and recover my factory settings on my laptop?
    Help, please
    gasina

    Hello

    Without much discussion: factory settings you can have if you install the operating system via original Toshiba recovery CD/DVD. Unfortunately, you do not have it.
    Now, you have two options: either you try to order and buy a new one (by authorized service provider), or you install WXP using the facilities of Microsoft CD. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support site.

    If you need more info please let me know.

    What should I do? My friend who knows something about computer told me that I should get a new windows Vista and installed in my computer but I should have a legal program of Toshiba - even I had when I bought it.

    Could U tell me how can I get it and how much it cost?

    Hello!

    Quad is right, you can order the Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly.

    Or you ask your local ASP. They can order it for you also. On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:
