Toshiba sattelite

When I bought this laptop it said "The hard drive in this unit has been wiped of all previous data.
No Operating System is installed or included".
when I try instaling windows xp pro i get a error message that said hard drive driver missing or not powered up what could the problem be?

That is a old unit...  The orginal hard drive was 810mb  Or 770MB according to the specs.  So it is PATA not SATA, which means it is nto the SATA issue and the XP install disc should recognize it.
Try powering on and pressing the ESC key to get into BIOS.  (You might have to try the F2 key instead, as it is one or the other.)
Then in BIOS see if the hard drive is listed.  If not then it appeats the hard drive has come loose or is dead.  Possibly somethign else is causing it, but that is most likely.
If the drive is listed,,, well I don't expect it will be.

    i format it and i change it from windows vista to windows xp
    Your model belongs to part-number family PSLB8U, which corresponds to European-models' part-number family PSLB8E.
    Go to the European download site and look up the Satellite L300 with Short Part No. PSLB8E.
    When you filter for Windows XP, you'll find there are 35 drivers, utilities, and so forth listed.

  • Toshiba Sattelite A300

    I have a Toshiba Sattelite A 300 notebook and recently it start heating. I mean really heating, if you keep it on your feet it can get you burns, any thoughts what can be my problem? 
    HowToLounge

    Check the vents on the bottom and sides of the computer. Make sure that there is no dust or dirt blocking the vents. Make sure that you are using the computer on a hard, flat surface. Blocking the cool air coming in from the bottom is a sure way to overheat the computer. If the computer is 3 or more years old, you may need to get the silicon grease between the CPU and the heat sink replaced. It can dry up or dissipate over a period of time. You're going to need Toshiba Certified tech to correctly install the right silicon grease in the computer.
    I never use canned air to blow the dirt in the vents. It just moves the dirt around without removing it, and the compressed air is often damp causing liquid to get in the system.

  • Toshiba Sattelite PSAA8E BIOS issue

    Hi there!
    There is a problem with my Toshiba notebook Sattelite A100 - 811 (PSAA8E-0YT040G3). Everytime I turn it on I see the folowing information on the screen:
    "*some usualy seen information*
    No TPM or TPM has problem
    *some usualy seen information*
    System Configuration Data updated
    WARNING
    0251: System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used"
    *Press [F1] or Press [F2]*
    And nothing changes when saving system BIOS configuration settings or just leting to use default settings. I've tried to update system BIOS to the newest version and succesfully done it but the problem with "Press [F1] or Press [F2]" still exists.
    Can anyone help me?
    P.S. I've found one solution (thanks Google) with using USB-FDD drive but i haven't and can't get it. I don't believe there is no other simple solution for this issue!

    Google "Toshiba crisis Recovery" and helpful info should come up.

  • Toshiba sattelite pro l40 stuck at splash screen

    i was resizing some partitions and when i restart, it freezes at lubuntu starting up, restart again? stuck at toshiba splash screen. if theres no battery and just ac, f2 says enterring setup but stays in splashscreen,with onlly battery f12 says entering boot. and dosent change screen, i tried proper reset but still nothing, recovery cds spin up but the screen dont change.

    I had a similar problem with FCPX sticking at the splash screen, this procedure worked for me.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches and delete the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file.
    Then launch Logic Pro/Audio Units Manager and rescan all the audio plug-ins.
    FCPX should then startup normally.
    If you don't have Logic Pro/Audio Units Manager try removing third-party audio plugins at ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

    PC fell, screen is broken and windows will not start . I used external Monitor.

    I don't have media dvd for recovery.
    I tried another win 7 version, is booted from CD, but I did not contiue, because it is wrong version, and I need the same to be restored.
    From bios setup it sees the HDD.
    When I boot it on external monitor, it gives toshiba logo for short time and goes to curser screen and stops responding.
    I want to restore the same version without getting on activation and drivers obstacles. How can I do that please??

    That procedure is described in the section Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method), which begins on p. 63 of the User's Guide.

    Be sure to burn recovery discs as described on p. 70.

  • Toshiba Sattelite P20-404 Drive

    Hi,
    I have a mat****a dvd-ram uj811 drive in my notebook an after inserting a cd which it couldnt read, it stopped working (I think that was the reason).
    In the device manager it is marked as ready and working, but if I click on it in the explorer, the system tells me that there is an E/A device-error (I am not sure if this is the right translation, because I have a german version). I cannot access the drive, read or write CDs & DVDs! Two friends of mine have a similar problem with the same drive (they have the satellite p10). It stopped working without any reason!
    I found a new driver on the internet, but couldnt install it, because it tells me, that the device is not found on this computer
    Is there any help, or is it broken?
    Thanks,
    Junior

    Hi
    I am owner of Satellite P20 too. I have changed my DVD drive. Original drive was DVD-R/RW. Now I have DVD-RAM drive inside.
    Like you know it is really easy to change the drive and I have checked which drive model I have now. It is TEAC DV-W22E and it works properly without any problem. If you want to use a drive like this one you need DVD-RAM driver but you can find it on Toshiba web page.
    Bye

  • Network controller and pci device driver missing for Toshiba Sattelite c55t b5109

    After resetting windows 8.1, I only my ethernet works and I cant turn my wifi. I looked in the device manger, and under "unknown devices" are listed Network Controller and PCI Device with yellow alerts near them. I know that these are related to the wireless card, but everytime I try to update them they say that there is no driver for them.
    These are their hardware id's:
    Network Controller:

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    search your laptop for the Toshiba application installer, open it and use it to install your Wireles lan driver.
    The application installer is easier than guessing which one you need from your support page.
    OR
    Your support page is here - http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200008391
    You can select the drivers tab then down the page on the left hand side select Windows 8.1 64 bit to narrow down the drivers for your operating system. Then also select Wifi and the available drivers will be displayed.
    If you are getting a corrupted system after a reset your hard drive may be failing or your recovery partition may have been corrupted .  Create your recovery media if you have not done so already.

  • Toshiba Sattelite C55 B5296 - Power issues

    I purchased this laptop in December 2014.  It has been nothing but problems trying to turn it on since day 1.
    I troubleshot it early on and they shipped me a new battery.    It did not resolve my issue
    I run through the whole "remove battery, unplug, hold power button for 20 seconds, plug back in" thing.  it worked in the begining but now it takes 10-15 minutes of trying that over and over to get it to turn on finally. I have to do this every single time.  
    It is still under warranty but i have to pay for phone tech support.  What do you think the issue is?  how can i get toshiba to fix this?

    Hi,
    First, I don't know what do you mean when you said "power issues"
    Is it not holding any charge? or is it really not turning ON?
    If the battery has been replaced already, then it requires servicing already. It needs to be sent to them.
    It is still under warranty but i have to pay for phone tech support - if you suspect that your laptop has HW problem then you don't need to pay for the technical support as long as it is still under warranty. However that would really depend on what kind of power issue you are having.

  • New Toshiba Sattelite L750-10F audio freezes in place for a second then returns to normal

    I recently bought this notbook and the audio constantly freezes and makes a squealing noise for a second or two then returns to normal. Any suggestions? 

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Toshiba Sattelite C660 Intel i5 CPU 2.3GHz - Locked to 1.3GHz only!!

    Hello, 
    I have Toshiba C660 Satellite Laptop with Intel i5 2.3Ghz - Turbo Boost 2.9GHz.
    I'm running Official Windows 8.1. 
    I recently noticed that my laptop is slow and laggy, and upon checking on task manager CPU stats, i noticed that my CPU is locked in between 0.7 GHz and 1.36GHz.
    What ever i do it remains maxed out on 1.3.
    What can I do ? is my CPU fried? I tried re installing windows with no luck.
    please help! thanks
    This is my task manager screen: 
    Also here's HW Monitor screen:

    in order to determine if the cpu is able to reach its max speed, you need to run a bench program like IBT, Prime or the like.  Download the program then run and check the cpu load and speed to see if it is functioning as expected.  Also, if your on battery power, the default power plan may limit the max cpu speed.  You can temporarily change this or run on the power adapter which usually allows the cpu to run at 100% max by default.

  • Toshiba Sattelite A200-1A9 Built in microphone not working

    Model Name: SATELLITE A200-1A9
    Model NO: PSAE0E-01S025AV
    Serial NO: 47193782K
    I install Windows 7 on my laptop and the built in microphone stopped working. Tried everything suggested on all posts for not woking built in microphone and still I am not able to record any voice or to use Skype, etc.
    When going to 'Recording Devices' I have two Microphones (one front and one ATAPI), but the green bar on the right does not move when making sound. I tried disabling the front microphone, still no success.
    Any help will be appreciated!

    Hi Dokie,
    I scan my pc with a Device Manager and it showed these results. Some of the drivers are not correctly installed I guess and these are the Realtek driver and the Chicony camera driver. Do you think this might be the reason? 
    Thanks
