• Install Windows 2000 on a Satellite M30X

  Hello everyone,

  I know that this subject has been discussed in 2005, but I can't find the thread. So if someone could help me, it was very appreciated.

  My problem: when I tried to start my laptop yesterday he told me, that a file in windows\system32\config folder was corrupt. I should try to run the installation-CD a pressing R - key. The problem is that the bootprocess since the Windows 2000 CD is finished with a blue screen every time.

  The former thread said that I had to press a special key, after a menu apperas where I can choose the boot options. But I do not remember which key it is.
  Anyone know it?

  Thank you for the good old Germany

  Hi Stefan

  By pressing the F12 should appear in the start menu and you can choose between several boot devices.
  By pressing the C button also allows you to boot from the STRANGE House.

  Good luck

• Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1 possible?

  Thank you for reading my topic.

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1 and I can't install Windows 7 on it.

  I updated the BIOS V1.30 again after that, I have only the Secure Boot option to enable or disable

  There is no option to switch to the CSM or inheritance, because I know that this MUST be done before I can install Windows 7.

  Is it possible to install a Win7 on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Elmar

  Hello

  I ve checked the download from Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and I see your model of laptop is not supported for Win7, so I think that it is meaningless to install if the drivers, tools, and utilities are not available for download.

• 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!

  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

• Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

  I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Hello
  Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.

• Satellite M30X and the new Windows Vista

  Hello!

  I have the new windows Vista Business installed on my laptop Satellite M30x!
  Now I have a problem with my SD card reader... sometimes I noticed that if I put an SD card in, but most of the time, nothing happens. So, there is no any drivers or firmware to date.
  I don't know what I'll do because there are not too all the compatible drivers for my digital camera...
  Of this, I just want my SD card reader is probably running on vista!
  Can someone help me please? It would be great!

  Nice greetings
  Markus

  Hello

  I guess you need a driver for Vista compatible cardbus.
  I noticed that Toshiba provides the Vista driver not for all Toshiba laptops.
  Right now the Vista drivers are provided only for several series of laptops.

  I got this Toshiba document on the support home page, and it seems that satellite M30X is not listed in the Microsoft Windows Vista support driver index ;(

• Windows XP installation is not possible on my Satellite L40

  I had a Toshiba Satellite L40 32 computer with vista preinstalled premium pieces. Once I managed to install XP in dual boot vista/xp thanks to vistabootpro. But my computer has been infected by a virus and because I couldn't clear it, I formatted my XP partition.

  I tried to reinstall windows XP, but in computer installation warmed me that there was a file that could not be installed and I choose to click 'ignore' and my computer started automatically on my vista operating system. I checked if it was not because my CD is not bootable, by nothing, because I use it on another computer to install vista.

  I would like to know what is happening?

  For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need the Intel Storage Manager. Without this disk manager HARD won't be visible for the installation of Windows XP Home edition.
  About installing Windows XP Home on Satellite L40 edition you will find so many threads. Use the option search on this forum and you will find a lot of discussions with explanation how to install WXP on L40.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M30x - bootsequence Windows XP with blue screen

  The problem, that I wonder happens 100% of the tests, but after turning on the computer laptop and after the bootsequence - at the present time, that the windows XP logo appears - the system halts with a blue screen. Turn to restart and falls into the next blue screen.

  Hey,.

  Congratulations, you have already found the problem! :)

  From my own experience, I can tell you that the same thing happened to a friend of mine. So he replaced the WLAN card with a new one and the problem has been resolved! Windows starts with WLAN turn on () correctly!

  What WLAN card is installed on your laptop?
  In Satellite M30x of my friend a WLAN Wireless Intel 2200 card has been installed. He bought a new one for little money on eBay and replaced it yourself because it s not very delicate.

  So take a look on eBay or other places. You can also ask a maintainer approved assistance if you are not familiar with the disassembly of the laptop.

  After starting the system, start ing starts up (TOSHIBA, touch tomorrow, then press F2 or F12 something like that) then a disc comes the error message saying: read error and ask me to restart with ctrl + alt + Del, which is not raise bone...

  I removed the hard drive and cleaned, dust re inserted to check if it can solve, but no!

  Thanks a lot for your help.
  The bans.

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma sounds like a HARD drive problem
  The Hitachi Drive Fitness Test is not bad, that you can use to check the status of the HARD drive.
  You may need to replace the HARD drive.

  Hey,.

  I m a bit confused now
  What exactly happens on your laptop? You can start Windows?

  I think the article MS says it all: to repair Windows you need a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Alternatives to reinstall the entire system use the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. Have you created this disk?

• Satellite M30X: Cannot add i386 Windows components

  Hi guys

  I'm having a problem with my Satellite M30X laptop because it does not read in folder i386 to the hard drive, when I try to add Windows components. I only got a recovery DVD with my PC, so I can't try to use a Windows XP Edition family normal drive, as I do not have.

  It might be worth mentioning that I've updated the hard drive in my laptop, using some HDD cloning software called Paragon Drive Backup Personal 8.

  It has some impact, in order to cause the problem I am experiencing?

  Hello

  On the restore CD, you will find only the image files. It s CD not similar as an original CD of Windows.
  To my knowledge you always the original Windows CD if you want to install all additional Windows that were not installed on the HARD drive components.
  So I assume that the components are not placed in the folder i386 therefore, you cannot use it.

• Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total Formate with recovery disc?

  Hello

  I had a Trojan horse on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted, but every time I've been connected to the Internet, it appeared again. Not connected to the Internet it doesn't give me any problems. As I couldn't get rid of him, I backed up all my data and do a fresh install from the recovery disc. As long as the button for LAN wireless is disabled, everything works fine, but just a little while, after I turned on it, I get a blue screen. When I restart my computer with WIFI turned on, it produces a blue screen before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried restoring 3 times, but it's always the same result.

  1 is it possible, that the Trojan horse destroyed things of the pre installation?
  2. I can't choose to make a formatting during the recovery process. All data are lost, but I feel that's not formate the hard drive correctly, when everything is destroyed. It crushes just stuff?
  3. is there a way to make a good formatting, then install completely new Windows?

  It is not a problem of my WLAN card, internet being no problem under Linux.

  Thank you for your help

  Hello!

  If you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be formatted so if you have any virus or Trojans on your laptop, they will be also deleted.

  But what BSOD code are you have? Are you sure that's the reason why the virus?
  You have the same problem if you connect a network cable to the laptop?

  Good bye
