Satellite Pro S300L - Can I install Windows 7?

Can I install windows 7 on my Satalite pro s300L if so which version 32 or 64 Bit?

Hello
First of all you can install what you want.
Why?
Its your notebook and you can do what you want with it! ;)
In my opinion its depending on the RAM which version you should install If you use 4GB or more RAM, choose the 64bit version. Otherwise 32bit is enough and therefore you can get all drivers here:

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Can't install Windows 7 due missing CD/DVD driver

    Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A200, PSAE4E-046018N5 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I can't pass from step one because it doesn't found a driver:
    A message box saying: A required CD/DVD drive devise driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
    -What to do?
    CD-ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA, the actual driver have version 6.0.6002.18005 (date:2006-06-21)
    Best regards

    Hi Peter,
    Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
    Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
    In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.

  • Re: Satellite Pro C50 - Can't install Windows 8

    Hi.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro c50 with Windows 7 preinstalled.
    It comes with 2 DVD's containing Windows 8.
    I have tried to upgrade to Windows 8 (following the instructions included in the manual: BIOS changes, etc) but I cant install it.
    After booting from the DVD, it doesnt appear the Windows 8 install utility, but the Windows 7 recovery options .
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sergio

    Exactly the same problem.
    Toshiba Portege R-930.
    Comes with Win 7 preinstalled and 2 CDs with image of Win 8 (Win 8 sticker on bottom of the laptop).
    Followed the directions in the leaflet to upgrade to Win 8 (change in BIOS, etc.) like the user above.
    It gets only to a blue screen with two options:
    1) Toshiba recovery - a frightening black screen with warning that every data will be lost) and
    2) System recovery, getting nowhere but to "switch off computer".
    At one point got the message that the disc is locked.
    Gave up, returned safely to Win 7.
    If someone could explain how to do this properly,
    Thanks

  • Satellite Pro A100 - Can't install sound driver

    Hello,
    Hope someone can help, I'm having trouble getting a sound driver to work, I've tried quite a few different drivers now and none seem to work.
    I've tried all the drivers off the Toshiba driver download site with no luck. I'm still left with a yellow question mark in device manager. (Satellite Pro A 100) During the installation the window appears that i must instull MICROSOFT BUS DRIVER BEFORE this audio drive r(Realtek HDA for XP).
    Where can I get this driver(Appreicate if someone could point me in the right direction), or somebody can give me another usefull advice?
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks.

    I think this is a known issue.
    Sometimes its useful to search in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. There I had found these interesting documents:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111
    Its very important to install these hotfixes before you install the driver.

  • Satellite Pro L510 - Can't install and start Intel Link 5100

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite Pro L510 (P/N:PSLFML-002004). Recently, I have updated my WLAN to Intel Link 5100 (my original WLAN is Realtek RTL8191SE). I've tried Windows 7 32bit and 64bit with intel driver, version 13.4 and 13.5, non of them has worked so far. I always get this error "This device cannot start" from Device Manager
    Can anyone help me with this problem, please?
    Duy

    Hello
    > My old WLAN works normally before the upgrades
    So I think this WLAN card is not compatible. Not all WLAN cards are compatible with all notebooks. I think this also depending on the mainboard and BIOS
    Installing another WLAN card will not improve the range or speed. For example if you use draft N you have 300 Mbps with every WLAN card and the WLAN range is depending on the WLAN antennas and not WLAN card itself.
    In your case I would install the old one and be happy with it ;)

  • Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

    Hi All,
    I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
    The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
    When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
    which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
    Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

    Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro, How can I install Windows 7 without an Optical Drive?

    For clarity:  I have a mid 2010, Macbook Pro.  I recently decided to upgrade to a Crucial SSD drive, double the ram (8 gigs), and remove the optical drive in favor of using my old drive as a back up.  I am also currently running Yosemite.
    I want to install Windows 7 onto my SSD, using bootcamp.  Unfortunately I no longer have an optical drive installed, which makes things difficult as Bootcamp does not even give me the option to create a bootable USB.
    Now, this is where things get kinda fuzzy:
    MId 2010 macbooks use EFI, and are quite capable of booting from USB.  How do I know?  Because I booted from a USB drive in order to do a fresh install of Yosemite on my SSD.
    I have read mutliple forums and threads with claims that folks have had no problems doing this on 2008 Macbook Pros running Snow Leopard.  However, what seemed to be required was some clever .plist modding.  I have used both text wrangler, and x-code to do this, unfortunately upon booting of bootcamp, bootcamp instantly crashes.  Naturally, I can restore bootcamp because I made backups of the .plist file.
    It would seem that modffying the .plist file assumes that the option to create a bootable USB device is grayed out.  In my case, it is non existent.
    I have also read that folks have had success using rEFIt, however rEFIt has been forked to rEFIned, and the developer of rEFIned made mention on his site that Yosemite handles booting differently than previous versions of OSX.
    WIth that, I was hoping that some kind person could explain to me whats going on, what I am missing, and what I can do to make this happen just shy of tearing down my MBP and reisntalling the Optical Drive and dusting off my Win 7 disc.
    Also, my Model Number/Bootrom is MBP 6,2.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your reply, and the information.  This is what I came up with:
    I added the strings as instructed, however when I went to sign the script in terminal, I was told:
    /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature
    /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: code object is not signed at all
    In subcomponent: /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/info.plist
    Also, here are screen captures of the lines that I added.  Mine are the top string entries:
    Thank you for your help, thus far!

  • Bootcamp 5.1.1 on Mac Pro Cylinder can't install Windows 8

    Hi,
    I've gone through almost every discussion regarding the common issue "Windows coud not update the computer's boot configuration" but none is related to Bootcamp version 5.1.1 and latest Mac Pro cylinder.
    I already tried the solution presented by Jarvil at this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23545780#23545780
    Based on Jarvil's solution there is a very important thing that is not happening in my case, that is that I never get the option to boot from the "Windows" partition. I only have 3 options, 1) Macintosh HD 2) Recovery 3) EFI Boot.
    By not having the option to boot from Windows partition I automatically deviate from Jarvil's solution.
    So, I proceed with EFI boot, I reach the step where I have to select the partition and I pick the 4th partition and it says that Windows can't be installed in this partition so I delete/format it and proceed with installation and it goes all well until the very end where it's finishing the install that I get the message:
    "Windows coud not update the computer's boot configuration".
    I also tried skipping the install --> login into Mac OS X --> Disk Utility --> Delete partition --> Create ExFAT partition (tried FAT also) --> Reboot --> EFI Boot (Windows partition still not available) --> Format partition --> Proceed with install --> Same error again.
    After the error, it reboots and then I get a blue screen (**** Windows blue screens) with a message:
    Recovery
    Your PC Needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
    File: \BCD
    Error code: 0x0000034
    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.
    So I reboot holding Option key and now the partition Windows appears and if I boot from it I get the same blue screen with the recovery error. So I reboot again and login into OSX, go to Disk Utility and delete the "Untitled" partition and I recreate it using ExFAT but then it gets stuck "Preparing to partition disk".
    I'm attaching snapshots.
    I really hope that someone from Apple support can provide a solution. Thank you very much in advance.
    Alejandro

    It's not an Apple response but it is something which worked for me. This is an exerpt from a post I made on another site. It's a bit involved and you may think this should not be necessary (and you'd be right) but if you want to try it you're welcome. No guarantess.
    Install Windows again just like you did before with Bootcamp (but you may have to remove any traces of it first).
    So starting again with Bootcamp Assistant and with Macintosh using the whole disc again begin the process.
    Allow Windows to be installed as normal.
    When the BCD error box opens up DO NOT click on OK - immediately do a hard shutdown of the Mac by holding the power button. This is so the changes are not rolled back.
    Start up the Mac again holding the Alt key and choose the USB EFI Boot option in the boot menu (it will be orange). At this point if you get a Windows blue screen error shutdown and take out the USB then restart the machine holding Alt and at the boot menu plug in the USB again and do the above.
    At the installer's start screen press shift + F10 to get a command prompt.
    In the command prompt type
    diskpart and hit enter
    type
    list volume  and hit enter
    Note the volume letters and numbers of all the volumes .  One should be an EFI partition of type FAT32 and it will have no drive letter.
    Now type
    list volume and hit enter (note the letters and numbers of the displayed volumes) One will be your EFI partition of FAT32 type and it will have no letter, just a number.
    type
    select volume X (where X is the number of your EFI partition) and hit enter
    type
    assign letter=B and enter
    type
    exit and enter
    type
    bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-GB /s B: /f ALL   *** note the /l en-GB is for locality and language and will default to English US if not changed. Obviously you need to change to your own locale and language code***
    press enter (after checking all spaces etc). You may also struggle to find the \ key on your keyboard, it may change position once in command prompt!.
    After a few seconds it should report that the boot files were written. If it does that you can type in
    wpeutil reboot and press enter at which point your Mac will reboot. Hold the Alt key and choose your new EFI Boot option and hopefully Windows will boot.
    Obviously all of this can be a little daunting and should not be taken on lightly. Having said that Windows is not currently installing and you've got nothing to lose. You can always go back to what you have now (with TM backups of course, and maybe even without).
    Good luck

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 - can i install Windows 7 on this via boot camp

    I have a Mac Book Pro (A1226 -late 2007) and I want to run Windows 7 Ultimate on it via Boot camp.   I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.8  with Boot camp 3.0.    For some reason I can't seem to install Windows 7 through Boot camp.  Can I even install it on this computer?  Would I be able to run Windows 7 on this computer if I purchased Parallels instead. 
    Thanks

    You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

  • Satellite-A300-23E - Can I install Windows 7 Ultimate instead of Win7 Premium

    Hello,
    I bought a TOSHIBA laptop which has the following model: Satellite-A300-23E (Operational system is Windows Vista Home Premium)
    I know that TOSHIBA offers an upgrade to Windows 7 but the problem is that they will provide me with Windows 7 Home Premium which I don't want.
    Thus, I'm thinking to buy a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate (DVD).
    Will be there any technical/software problems in case I remove the original operational system of the laptop and install Windows 7 Ultimate ?
    By the way, I used Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and the result was positive !
    Please, I need your help

    You should try Vista's drivers, as I know, they are compatible:
    For Webcam try this one:
    http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/webcam-en-20090422172230.zip
    For touchpad, there are 2 drivers:
    Alps http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/tpdrv-en-20090320124756.zip
    Synaptics http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/tpdrv-en-20090320132707.zip
    talking about touchpad drivers, it can be Alps or Synaptics for your model, or can be both.

  • Satellite U500-10N - Can I install Windows XP?

    'm afraid if I install XP than some function on my laptop will not work.
    I'm looking for help, plz if anyone know something i will be grateful

    Hi
    Theoretically you can install Windows XP, why not? ;)
    But I dont understand why you want to use such an old operating system. I mean the Satellite U500 is really fast enough for Vista and in few days Windows 7 is the present. You should be happy with your preinstalled Vista version that should run well.
    The point is that Toshiba doesnt offer drivers for U500 and XP so you have to collect all drivers yourself on the Internet that takes a lot of time. Furthermore I think some special functions like the FN keys will not work because there you can only get a driver from Toshiba.
    Its your choice what you do but I would wait for Windows 7 if you dont like Vista Satellite U500 should also support Windows 7.

  • Satellite R630-11L - can not install Windows XP SP2 Prof

    I removed ald Hard disk -> insert new (SATA) Hard Disk -> Insert CD Windows XP SP2 Prof into DVD Driver -> Power Off.
    The Power On -> Laptop reads CD Windows XP SP2 -> Installation process
    But at the end, only "bluescreen": can NOT install (the CD ist already installed successfully for another old laptop.
    I have 5 times to try.
    Who has done successfully ?
    Thank a lot!

    I have a L650-PSK2cu that was a real hassle to get the drivers installed properly, but that was because I installed INTEL HD video drivers BEFORE the AUDIO and it made the installation of AUDIO drivers impossible. I had to do afresh install a second time. Once I did the 2ND fresh install and installed the COnexant Audio Drivers BEFORE the INTEL HD Video drivers it worked great. Live and learn. This machine with XP PRO runs 10 times better than Win 7 64 BIT. XP WON'T die for a while. I just hope people are archiving drivers before they become unavailable.
    Make sure if you have anewer chipset intel i3,i5,i7 etc... tha you set the bios to compatibility mode if possible as well.

  • Satellite L450-136 - Can I install Windows XP?

    I have just got a Satellite L450-136 with Windows 7 and all Toshiba Utillities loaded. I dislike Windows 7 and much prefer Windows XP.
    Can I remove all Windows 7 and install Windows XP on this laptop?
    Thanks.

    Hey,
    > Can I remove all Windows 7 and install Windows XP on this laptop?
    Of course, you can install every OS that you want :)
    But dont forget to create the Toshiba recovery disk as mentioned in user manual. If you want Windows 7 back with all drivers and tools you can restore it from recovery disk because it contains an image of factory settings.
    Have you checked if you can get all drivers for your model and XP?

  • Satellite A100-011 - Can I install Windows 7 64bit?

    Can you please tell me if I install Windows 7 64bit where I can find drivers, because they are not listed on Toshiba site.
    Thanx.
    Akis

    Old notebook models are not supported for all operating system versions so you will not find these drivers on Toshiba support page.
    What you can try is to search them on hardware manufacturers pages but I don't think you will find all of them.
    You must also understand that new operating system is designed to run with newest hardware and it is always problematic to use newest OS with old hardware.
    What you can also try is to check if some Satellite A200 has the same hardware and if A200 is supported for Win7 64bit you can use these drivers and try to install them on your A100.
