Hi
Why you are thinking that Win XP will not run on Sat Pro L300?
Of course you can install the Win XP on this notebook.
I think you didnt read any threads here in the forum regarding such theme.
Am I right? I think you should take a little bit time and should read some threads here
It really useful and could learn a little bit about OS installation.
PS: All Win XP drivers are placed on the Toshiba European driver page ;)

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

Satelite Pro 4600: sometimes applications stop running with new RAM

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone out there can shed some light on my problem. I've recently upgraded for an extra 256MB on my Satelite Pro 4600. The laptop showed the increase in RAM. Since installing it, for some reason after running the applications for a while(this varies between 10mins to a couple of hours since laptop start up), the applications stop running. I cannot open new applications. When I reboot, I can run the applications in my laptop as normal again.
I got my RAM from offtek. The Manufacturer's part number is the same as the one specified in my laptop manual.
Please does anyone have any idea?
Mocha

Hi,
Please check the PA Number from the 256MB Chip, the correctly PA Number is PA3005U-1M12.

Will Windows 8 run on the 110W given the HW requirements from MS?

MS posted the HW requirements for Windows 8 and the 110W doesn't really meet them, do you think we will still be able to run the OS?

They are only guidelines for hardware developers. Its not like Windows 8 will just suddenly not work.

Will Windows 7 run Photoshop CS2?

Will a new laptop running Windows 7 be able to run Photoshop CS2?
Mary Lou

In a nutshell, with User Account Control enabled, Windows Vista and newer try to run your programs as though you're a non-privileged user, even if your account is a privileged Administrator of the computer (most people set themselves up as Administrator). UAC also redirects accesses to certain parts of the file system to other places, and this is what can interfere with the operation of Photoshop.
The idea is that if you inadvertently run malware, it has less chance to wreck your system if you're running it in a non-privileged manner.
If you're confident your good computing practices and anti-malware software are protecting you from malware infections, then you can disable UAC and Windows will run pretty much as it did back in the day (of XP). With UAC disabled (set to the lowest setting), if you're a privileged user all the software you run will have full privileges, and no file accesses will be redirected.
It may be that you can temporarily disable UAC while installing Photoshop CS2, then reset it back to default levels. I haven't tried that but it has a chance of working.
To disable UAC, do this:
1. Click Start, then type UAC into the search box (don't hit Enter).
2. When Change User Account Control Settings comes up, click it.
3. Drag the slider to the bottom ("Never notify").
Some light reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control
It's worth taking the time to understand what UAC does, then you'll fully understand the risks you're taking (or not taking) by changing the settings.

Satelite Pro A60 - Will not start up

My A60 will not start. The power supply is plugged in with a green light on the power block and the A60. The battery has fully charged (light started orange and is now green). Nothing happens when the power button is pressed!
Tried taking the battery out and running on AC but no change.
Any ideas?
Thanks
L

HI Lawrence,
Try removing the battery and also diconnecting the AC supply for a few minutes. Then re-install the battery and try to power on the unit. If this doesn't work then remove the battery and connect the AC supply. Again try to poer on the unit.
If none of the above works then you will need to refer to an Authorised Service Partner to have the notebook checked.
regards,

How well will Windows Server run in a virtual machine on OS X Server?

Does anyone have any experience running any of the flavors of Windows Server in a virtual box (either Parallels or VMware) on OS X Server?
I'm looking at setting up a new server. There are a couple of things for which windows is required. I could set up a separate windows box for these, but I'm wondering if it's feasible to set up Windows Server in a virtual box, and solve my problem that way?
The first requirement is to run an Intuit service for running Quickbooks in a network configuration
The second is a small SQL Server database. My plan is to migrate this to MySql eventually, but that is lower on the priority list.

Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :

Satelite Pro L300 - Can I use recovery disk to get Vista back?

On my computer i am dual booting Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Could i get rid of Vista then later could i use the recoevery disc to recover vista?
P.S i know it wipes the whole hdd

Hi
If you have created successfully the Recovery disk using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator then youve got the Recovery disk which contains the Toshiba image.
The image is a package which contains the OS (Vista), drivers and all the stuff which was preinstalled on the notebook.
This means that if you would use the recovery disk then you would get everything like at the first day of purchase
Simply said: Yes, you can get Vista back using the Recovery disk ;)

New Satellite Pro L300 will not start up or operate

My new laptop will not start operating. I have done everything by the book in regard to installation, but once it asks for my user name and password, it goes to a page where it says "Preparing your system". Then after about 10 mins it goes back to the sign in page with my user name and password, and repeats the whole thing.
How do I fix this? The laptop was bought new from ebay as a gift.

Getting a DOA is so random that it probably won't matter when you place your order. Right out of the box,the machine should start up instantly when you press the power button. Yours doesn't.
It sounds like it arrived with a dead battery and the power adaptor is not charging the battery. Even so, it should start up from the power adaptor alone. It could be that the power adaptor is not being recognized.
If you still have it, you could try resetting the SMC, which could possibly get things working again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
Your satisfaction is important to Apple. If your machine has problems out of the box, they would rather give you a replacement immediately than to mess around with one which obviously has a problem of some sort. The one you return will go to the repair depot and the problem will be found and repaired if possible. Then it goes to the online store and is sold as a refurbished machine.
A power issue like yours may be simple to fix, or it may not be. The last thing you want to do with an expensive brand new machine is to find out it is defective in some way and have to send it off for repair. You would much rather just give back the defective machine and get another one that is not defective, and I think Apple realizes this.
There's really no reason to wait before submitting a new order--you can do it at your convenience.
Good luck!

Satelite Pro L300 - BIOS Issues

I know how to use bios and there are a few values that i need to change in bios, but no matter what i press i cant get it to enter bios. The computer itself has no issues loads fine just cant bring up Bios no matter what i press. Its driving me mental.
I've tried the follow
F1
F2
Esc
Delete
All at different times, or held for different times. Is there some mixture of bottoms i've got to press?

Press F2 when you see the Toshiba Slashscreen.
If you shut down in Suspend or Hibernation Mode, you cannot enter the BIOS. So ensure you shut down Windows completely.
You can also change the BIOS settings in Toshiba Assist or HWSetup.

Satellite Pro L300 - Error when installing Intel Storage Manager

I have downloaded all the drivers. One of them will not install for me. "Intel IMSM Driver SATA V8.0.0.1039 Windows XP 21.12 MB" for PSLB9A-02H002. It gives me an error "This comp does not meet the minimum requirments for installing the software".
Any solution for this. Thanks. Regards.

Thanks for the respond. I should start from the beginning. I am a bit tired already and thinking of installing vista which I don't want to do.
This is a laptop Satelite Pro L300, mod PSLB9A-02H002. I started installing XP on it by changing the BIOS to compability mode otherwise it would not read the XP disk. Installed XP with no problem wiping the hidden partition (if it was there). I downloaded all the drivers from this site for the correct model. The problem starts there. Laptop is freezing every so often, sometime it will boot into an empty screen etc. Just few moments ago a message came up:
"The device driver for the 'Intel(R), Wireless WiFi Link 5100' device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need to update thid driver."
In addition I dont have an access to floppy ext. drive to follow the procedure mentioned above, I dont even know if this can be done after XP is installed.
The BIOS setting has to stay in "compatibility" option otherwise if its on "AHCI" it will not boot.
I would love to make it work with XP but it may not be possible. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

Hi
after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
Its show the blue dead screen!
What can i do?

Hi
Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
Please check this!
Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.
