Satellite 1130 can not install OS

I have a satellite 1130. It got dropped a few weeks back and then refused to work. I have obtained a new main board from E-Bay, but after installing, although the system now powers up, the BIOS is Japanese. Some of the keyboard controls do not work either, mainly the direction arrows, so I cannot go through the BIOS to see if I can change the language.
I have tried updating the BIOS, with a bootable CD, as the system has no floppy drive, but keep getting told invalid product ID. The system originally had Win XP, but I cannot get it to boot, because I presume its a new main board that the install of XP does not recognize. I cannot install XP, as I cannot change the boot sequence, it always tried to boot from the HDD, although if I take out the HDD, it will boot from my XP CD.
If I took the HDD out and formatted it in my desktop system, and then installed it black, would it try and boot from the CD, if it doesnt find a valid OS. If so will English copy of XP work, even if its a Japanese BIOS, and if I can get it to install, can I flash the BIOS to an English version through windows?
Many Thanks
Chris

Hi
In my opinion this is only one way to solve this issue.
Unfortunately, you need the external FDD to update the BIOS.
After BIOS updating you can change the booting frequent.
Please check this Toshiba FAQ How to update the BIOS on this unit.

  • Satellite M60: can not install the newest driver for my graphic card

    Can not install newest driver for my graphic card

    Hello
    First of all I really dont understand why you start two topics with the same theme. It is much better to have one topic with good content and interesting comments. Am I right? ;)
    Anyway, in your case it is interesting that Toshiba use adapted drivers because of hardware protection. That means that graphic card will not be forced to run at the maximum level. Hardware cooling in notebooks is very problematic and high temperature can result with overheating or hardware damage. All hardware components are placed on small place. Graphic card produce a lot of warmness and it is not so good for all other hardware.
    When you use non-Toshiba driver graphic card will be forced to run faster. Because of that every notebook manufacturers dont support usage of third part drivers. The fact is that hardware protection is priority.
    I didnt make any experiments but according to some reports on this forum there is way how to install non-Toshiba graphic card driver.
    Please check this forum and you will find many comments about that. One interesting topic is http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=18063&messageID=66186

  • Satellite C50-B-13D - Can not install display driver

    Hello,
    I have a notebook Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13D. I had to reinstall my Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit OS. Now i have a problem with the drivers. For example i can not install the display driver. After i give permission to make changes on my computer the Error message "This computer does not meet the minimum requierments to install this software. Does anybody know what i can do?

    So you need to install the Intel HD 4000 display driver.
    Usually you have two possibilities to install the driver.
    You can execute the installation.exe (setup.exe) file or you will install the driver within the device manager. I recommend you to choose the 2nd option in case the standard procedure does functions.
    The driver from Toshiba EU driver page has to be unzipped.
    Within the display-20140528122046 folder you would find the TC40214900E.exe
    This is an zipped folder. Click right on this file and choose “unzip here”.
    Now you will get another TC40214900E folder where you would find all the driver files (dll).
    Next step: go to device manager, choose graphic card and click update/install driver
    Now choose the “Advanced” installation option and point to the unzipped driver folder.
    The system will pick up the files automatically and you could finish the installation.
    That’s it.

  • 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 P105 - Can't install nVidia display driver

    I tried completing the download multiple times for the nVidia Display Driver 9.7.5.4.
    The first times the setup would not complete citing "that this computer does not have the correct hardware.." , then the Windows message came up and said that "if this setup did not complete successfully click here blabla" and I did that.
    Now when I run the setup it still stops in the same spot. But now it says that *"the setup can not be completed because this driver only runs on Windows Vista, and this is not Windows Vista." But the thing is I do have Windows Vista!*

    Hi
    > Current Display Driver: Mobile Intel(R) 945 GM Express ChipSet Family
    And then you want to install an nVidia display driver?
    LOL :D
    I think you can not install an nVidia display driver because your notebook is equipped with a Intel chipset and graphic card.
    You will never be able install nVidia display driver and so did get the message that you don’t have the correct hardware.
    Intel graphic cards and nVidia graphic cards are different things so do not mix it!
    Some P105 was equipped with nVidia cards and otheres with Intel card and it seems that you have an Intel card.

  • Can not install device driver in Windows 8.1

    I can not install driver of my webcam(Odyssey OD 202) windows 8.1 (upgraded from windows 8)
    The USB webcam is shown in Device manager.
    When I attempt to update driver and search for it automatically it shows the following message.

    Hi Atanu Barai,
    There may be a compatibility issue between the Microsoft driver and the device . I agree with ZigZag ,you may need to download the driver from the manufacturer website .Please pay attention to the compatibility ability issue with the
    Windows 8.1 when you try to download the driver.
    If the issue persists, try to plug in the device with another USB port to have a check .To verify whether it is caused by the USB controller ,we can try to connect another USB device to have a check.
    Meanwhile ,please check the Event Viewer for related information.
    Best regards

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
