Satellite A300-276 - nvraid.sys error on Windows start

Good evening,
I am recently trying to install Windows 7 in my Satellite A300-276. I actually install it but when I want to start it apears a message saying:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix (...)"
and then, in the same page:
"File:\Windows\system32\Drivers\nvraid.sys"
"Status:0xc0000098"
"Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, or corrupt"
Could someone help me with this?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Andr

I have installed Win7 32bit on my Satellite A300-1LI and on P300D successfully and it runs perfectly.
I don't have time to read the whole thread but what I sugesst you is to install Win7 32bit again and all other stuff following my installations order. It worked for me so I think it should be ok for you too.
Here we go:
Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7
-Win7
-chipset driver
-storage manager
-display driver
-sound driver
-modem driver
-supervisor utility
-infrared
-patches
-configfree
-VAP
-toshiba hardware setup
-HDMI control
-WLAN driver
Everything runs well but some Win7 drivers were missing so I have installed follow Vista stuff.
Added Vista stuff:
-Toshiba assist - work properly
-Card reader - installed properly
-Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
-Synaptics driver

Nvraid.sys error on Windows 7 bootcamp install

Hello everyone. I have a 27inch i7 imac, and am trying to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate on a bootcamp partition. When I try to install windows 7 it goes through the installation process, and upon the reboot where it attempts to load windows for the first time I get an error message saying that nvraid.sys is not present or corrupt.
Has anyone else seen this issue or know how to resolve it? I installed windows 7 into a virtual machine just fine on the imac so it's not the disc I have. I followed the instructions exactly from the apple site, including putting the display drivers on a usb drive. I have no external devices other than the mouse connected. The keyboard is wireless, but none of that should matter since the issue is with what appears to be a raid driver.
I have tried all the obvious stuff like starting over from scratch, installing on a different system to ensure the disc is fine etc. If you can help or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks.

well, there are threads in here about what issues there are, and to uninstall and delete the nvidia drivers, esp the ones from apple, but you never got that far.
And then to download and install the latest Catalyst driver.
Boot camp, Windows is running natively on its own partition.
The Assistant just partitions. Apple confuses the matter and in their docs, and there is a control panel added to Windows from your OS X DVD along with drivers and services. But you are simple running Windows. But unlike a VM that runs under OS X.

Satellite L300 - Disk.sys error on Windows start up

I got my recovery disk today inserted and after a couple of reboots I managed to to get the Advanced menu F8. I selected option for Safe Mode with command prompt. The window started to load various windows drivers etc. It has now stopped at the line of code with a please wait and has been like this for over 2hours.
Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys
I booted up in VGA mode same
I tried last known good configuration no joy.
what's left for me to do it is obvious that I have a bad driver how do I interrupt the command prompt and run chdisk or check for corrupt drivers etc.
If I have to reload the OS can this be downloaded from microsoft or is it chargeable.
If anyone has any new ideas I would be very grateful need to get this sorted.
thanks
Franco

Hi TwoLags,
as you can see from the paper trail I originally could not get into advanced mode the forum suggested I purchased a recovery disk . The disk now allows me to get into F8 and advanced mode if I choose safe mode it scrolls through all the drivers but halts at \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys with a please wait message in the windows bar.
I have tried booting up in safe mode with cmd prompt same,last known good config dark screen?.
My question is what happens next am I looking at a complete OS reinstall which I don't have windows vista home premium edition 32 bit.
Surely there must be a way of intreput the safe mose cmd and run a disk check to repair any corrupted files etc.
cheers
Frank

Satellite A300-1PH - Very slow statrting of Windows

Toshiba Satellite A300- 1PH.
Due to some Viruses, I started the recovery on my laptop and installed the fresh windows Vista Home premium. But now I am facing a problem.
My windows load very slowly. When I start my Laptop, after the logo of Windows appear, it takes almost 4-5 minutes to load the Destop and the Secreen shows the message "Please Wait".
Before recovery it never took such a long time. It's been onliy 1 month I have bought it.
Can any body tell me please what is the actualy problem?

I am very happy you are satisfied now. Many times on this forum I wrote about right OS configuration.
Anyway, Tempro is nice application and useful for people with low level of notebook knowledge who need some help with updates and notebook monitoring. In my opinion this can just confuse notebook owners with different messages and upgrade notifications.
I recommend you to remove it from the system. Believe me with les such background running processes and applications your notebook will run better and more stabile.
For years I use Avira Antivir and it the best solution. It runs in the background, doesnt need many resources and make updates automatically. You can get it for free under http://www.free-av.com/
Latest version is 9.00.
If you have more questions please let me know.
Bye and good luck.

Satellite A300-1J1 - Sound not working with Windows XP

I have a problem, Yesterday I've installed WindowXP on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1J1, but no sound!
I tried all Toshiba driver sound given on Toshiba web site but no result !
Some can help us?

Hello
Your notebook has a Realtek sound chip. So you must install a Hotfix from Microsoft before you can install the drivers.

Satellite P200D - Value Added Package error on Windows 7 64bit

Satellite P200D-12F (PSPBQE) and Windows 7 64bit
TVAP ERROR!
I cant find any solution to this problem on the whole internet. can someone please contact Toshiba providers about this because this is really silly?
Noone wanna answer me!
PLZ!
help

> this has to be fixed. i just dont understand the Toshiba people. Why dont they TEST the drivers before they upload them for the rest of the world?
The Win 7 VAP 1.2.28 which you can download for P200D is the same package for all other notebook series and its working because Ive installed it on my U400 and A210 notebook series so its NOT VAP issue.
It must be your Win 7 installation issue
First of all check if your BIOS is up to date.
If not then update it.
The VAP must be unzipped firstly before you would start the installation
I did it many times and if worked!
If nothing will solve your issue then you should renew your Win 7 insatllation.

Satellite A300-1N9 - Where can I download Windows 7 drivers and tools?

Welcome
At the outset I want to thank you for any help or steer me to an idea about the drivers for this model, for a moment I will describe what exactly it.
I bought this laptop with Vista I got him a CD with the system and on this record were already drivers and add-ons to your laptop or other cool things such as Toshiba drivers for camera, Bluetooth, Synaptics, dvd software, and a program or driver I do not know exactly what it is, but such a cool thing that allows you to set the lights on the whole panel, including a laptop with the word "Satellite". Everything fits nicely, but only with Vista that I got on the board from Toshiba.
Now, I went on Windows 7 As for the fundamental drivers that have them from the manufacturer Toshiba eg driver webcam or mouse. But the more I depend on these great things that I had under Vista, even though that panel backlighting laptop.
Does anyone have any idea on this that all additives in the CD that I got, where it is Vista, you can somehow extract these extras, or is a site where you can download it all, or a list of these additives to Win match 7
Thanks in advance again for any help.
Yours
wolfmark

Hi
First of all you can download all drivers and tools from the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
For the illumination buttons and illuminated Satellite you have to install Toshiba Value Added Package. It activates also all functions on the FN keys.
As far as I know the illumination can also be turned on/off in BIOS. Check this!!!
The webcam driver is also listed on the Toshiba page and touchpad driver to enable virtual scrolling.
I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

Satellite A300-1NO - Realtek soundcard trouble on Windows 7

Hey guys!
I have an A300-1NO notebook and some trouble with realtek audio driver as I've installed Windows 7 (x86, 32bit).
When I had Vista, I had 3 options to set how I want to record sounds. There was a Microphone, Mic in at front panel and a "third option" that recorded voice directly from sound card (waveout maybe) and not by any microphones.
Now, I can't find the "third option" (record sound directly from soundcard) just the two microphone options. I can see the disabled and disconnected devices too, but it still doesn't show me the "third option" :(
The freshly installed Win7 recognized my sound card, and I had sounds on it but there was not any "realtek" icon in the control panel to edit preferences, as in Vista's control panel. I uninstalled it from the device manager, after that i setup 6.0.1.5559 version (I used it with vista x86, 32bit) but still the same problem..
I really don't know what should i do..

Hi
To be honest I really not understand what you expect from an OS that is not released or not on the market as yet...
You have to wait some weeks or months more until official drivers will be released for Windows 7. Its the same as on Vista and XP. After the release, the most drivers were released.
You can try some beta drivers for Windows 7 from the Toshiba US page.
But this is all what you can do at the moment.

Malfunctioning key on Satellite A300

Good day,
Yesterday I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 and then I installed it, Windows 7 RC1 and now there is a problem. Key to that is to Slovak keyboard symbol "?" for English is "\" in combination with the Shift key does not work :-( If you press a key on the keyboard itself is displayed as the character but if I use the keyboard combination Shift key and the cursor is not removed.
Can someone advise me whether there is a problem with the laptop or is the problem of operating system and drivers?
Thanks

Hello,
Today I am Winodws Vista installed and do not help either. I rather I'm afraid that the problem is with the BIOS, because this is not one problem with this laptop that I have.
As I also wrote on this forum in any operating system run startup screen "Windows is starting" and as being booting system of loudspeakers is unbearable ringing, it takes about a minute, the system run properly. And this problem will certainly be concerned because the BIOS whistle occurred install Vista or Linux.
So I think that these two problems together.
Can you advise how I could update the bios?
Thank you

Satellite A300-1N8 on XP in AHCI - "iaStor" error and freezing

Hello guys,
A friend of mine has bought a new Toshiba A300-1N8 without OS a month ago.
I've installed Win XP Pro Sp3 and after 2 days of wondering how to enable the ACHI (because in compability mode it was hellish slow), I found how to do it and I made my XP with NLite and the extracted drivers from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager - ICH9M and reinstalled the windows in ACHI mode without any problems (because i still didnt know that there is way to install it without reistaling of windows)
I've installed all the drivers from the site and everything was fine till the moment we discovered that randomly the system stops responding and freezing... then the only way is restarting from the Power Button.
I found that in the Event Viewer (in the control panel - administrative tools) on the System information randomly appears an error:
{color:#ff0000}"The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor, did not respond within the timeout period". {color}
And the Iastor.sys actually was the system driver for the Intel AHCI controller, is it right?
So after that error apears - the the HDD lights permanently on and the system stopped responding after a few time or after trying to restart or turn off from windows start menu.
i found here
[http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1368385]
that the error may be can be fixed by changing the parameters in the LPM from 1 to 0.
I fixed it but the error still apears and the system crashes randomly :(
Any suggestions?

Exactly the same problem here on a Satellite L300.
I also made an ISO file with nlite and the F6 SATA driver disk.
The system freezes (in fact its the windows explorer or "My computer" that freezes) and the harddisk LED remains solid on. But the drive remains working if a program was having access to it. But it's not possible to start an explorer based program.
The freezes appear to be randomly, sometimes after many hours.
After reboot there appears to be an "iastor" time out in the Windows log files some time before the freeze.
No IDE settings available as there is no IDE drive in the XP hardware manager...
Only thing I could try right now is set the BIOS to compatibility mode and use a "normal" XP install disk without the sata drivers and see if that works better for me.

System recovery error in satellite A300

Hi. Sorry for the bad english. I have a problem. In my satellite A300 Vista comes a blue screen error.
I followed the instructions in the manual to make system recovery. At the boot press f8 and select "Repair your computer". Seems to start properly restored, but leaves an error message that says: "Could not start the program installed. Click OK to turn off the computer."
I do not know what to do. Help me.
Thanks, Enrico

Thank you for the STOP 0x00000024 information, Enrico.
Bug Check 0x24: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
You may be able to resolve this by running a System Restore or Chkdsk /r from the Recovery Environment.
At the boot press f8 and select "Repair your computer". Seems to start properly restored, but leaves an error message that says: "Could not start the program installed.
Unfortunately, the only way to reach it now is with a Windows Vista installation DVD or by downloading a recovery disc from NeoSmart.
Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download
Maybe you can borrow an installation disc from a friend?

Re: Satellite A300 - Error loading operating system

Hi, I have a laptop satellite a300 and when I boot the system I get an error message 'Error loading operating system' - if some kind poster can help me on this matter it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Don

Do the BIOS recognize the HDD? Check this in BIOS.
Can you boot in safe mode?
If you can go in the advanced boot menu, choose repair my computer and select the Toshiba recovery option. This procedure reinstalls the OS.
This feature is only available with a preinstall Windows Vista. If you have Windows XP, you must use the CD.

Satellite A300-1LT - Webcam driver for Windows 7

Hi,
I have a problem with my webcam driver just after installing Windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1LT, I had win XP before and it works fine. In downloads is offered just for xp, vista 32-bit and 64-bit driver (I tried all with same results). Webcam app starts with windows and gives me an error msg that I must reinstall or install new webcam driver. Webcam work in eg. skype buth with (very) poor quality.
I tried to find wich cam is integrated ( chicony? ) also but nothing.
Does enyone else had experienced this issue and know how to resolve it ? please help...

Hi glava11,
As far as I know you can also use the webcam driver for Satellite A500 because its equipped with Chicony webcam too.
So have a look for A500 downloads. There you can find Windows 7 driver for webcam that should work on your model too.
Check this!!!

Satellite A300-20P - Games with Windows 7 not working in full screen

I have Satellite A300-20P and VGA ATI 3650
I made upgrade to Windows 7 Professional
All games working well but not in full screen. I installed the last driver for ATI for Windows 7. It was working in full screen in Vista before I make upgrade.
Same problem on my brother`s laptop after he make upgrade to Windows 7.

Hi
Normally you can change the screen resolution in every game and if they should run in full screen mode or not. Check this!!!
Can you also tell us what display driver you have installed? The drivers from the Toshiba page are for desktop cards and not for mobile cards. So please use only the Toshiba drivers.
