Satellite A300 and Windows 7 drivers

Hi
Is anybody know, when or if actually will be a drivers operative for Windows Seven for this laptop????

Hey buddy
Are you sure that you want to use Windows 7?
Dont forget that Windows 7 is only a beta version and it could include a lot of problems or something else.
I think the better solution would be Windows Vista or the older XP.
However, try to use the Windows Vista drivers that you can find on the Toshiba website or you search on external websites for drivers.
Good luck! ;)

  • Satellite A300 and Windows 7 - missing "Create a disk" option

    Hi.
    I installed windows 7 professional in my laptop A300 - 15C (PSAJ4E) two weeks ago and i have a problem.
    I Installed all drivers for win 7 from the official site of toshiba and i can't see the option of "Create a disk" where i can install the firmware update.
    So, my laptop hasn't install the firmware updates and it's very slow on the boot.
    Any idea about this problem?

    As I can see your posting is mix of three different issues but described in two sentences.
    Can we please discuss about each issue separately?
    At first I must say that I have installed Win7 on my Satellite A300-1LI successfully and I am happy with performance and must say that all hardware components run perfectly.
    So, back to your notebook:
    # What do you mean with "Create a disk" option? Maybe you think on some preinstalled Toshiba tool, I don't know exactly. The fact is that Toshiba offers many useful tools and utilities with factory settings only and such tools cannot be downloaded and installed additionally.
    # Firmware update? Do you really need this? I don't think so. Have you noticed some problems with optical disc drive?
    # Slow boot-up? Have you installed all listed drivers for Win7 especially chipser dtiver and storage manager? Please note that SATA settings in BIOS must be set to AHCI mode.

  • Satellite A300 and Windows 7

    Hello all. First of all i'm sorry for my poor english - I have to little practice.
    Can I transfer my win Vista sp2 (x32) to Win7 (x32) on my notebook Satellite A300-1QF (?PSAGCE-06F00JRU)?
    Will there any troubles with drivers/devices/something else? If it will be, are there some ways to avoid them?
    I hate vista ((( wanna try vin7 )))
    Thanks for helping!

    >What should I do to upgrade my vista to Win7?
    Best thing is to upgrade it using original Toshiba upgrade kit but I think it is not available anymore.
    As far as I know you can also upgrade it using Microsoft installation disc but it can be little bit complicated because some tools and drivers must be removed from the system before upgrade installation starts.
    Best way to have well working Win7 on Satellite A300 is not to make upgrade but clean Win7 installation. With other words: install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. After doing this install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities one by one from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    I have checked this page and all Toshiba stuff is available for Win7.
    If you need assistance for this clean installation let us know.

    Hey
    I just have done format on my pc Satellite A300-15B from windows vista (32bit) to windows 7 (64 bit) enterprise Greek edition!! But my driver of webcam doesn't work.
    At first it worked but the last 4 days it not. :( What can I do??
    Thanks

    Hey,
    To be honest I dont understand what you mean. Do you talk about webcam or some Toshiba utilities now? Im confused
    If you want to update the webcam driver, you can download it on the Toshiba page:

  • Satellite A300 1lW - Windows 7 installation - any issues?

    Good Morning/afternoon!
    I would like to install a new intern hard drive on my laptop and I want to put also windows 7 on it.
    The issue is that it is the first time I will do this manipulation and I dont really know what sort of functionality will be incompatible with this installation.
    - Can you recommand me a windows 7 version which can be suitable for this laptop?
    - Which functionality will be deactivated when I will install windows 7 on my new hard drive?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards
    Remy

    I use Win7 32bit on my Satellite A300. It works perfectly and all Toshiba specific functions are there.
    Here is the list how I have installed all stuff on my Satellite A300 (PSAG8E):
    -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 works well but some drivers are missing
    Added Vista stuff:
    -Toshiba assist - work properly
    -Card reader - installed properly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
    -Synaptics driver
    Win7 works much better and faster as original Vista.

  • Re: Satellite L855 and Windows 8 - can not adjust screen brightness

    Hi everyone !
    I installed Windows 8 on my Satellite L855 and it is running pretty well except that I can no more adjust screen brightness !!! I updated all the drivers for Win 8 but it didn't resolve the issue.
    Hope someone can help me !! Thanks !!

    Hi
    Did you install the VAP (value added package) provided with Toshiba Win 8 upgrade assistant?
    Its necessary and the brightness can be controlled pressing F button
    F2 Decreases screen brightness
    F3 Increases screen brightness

  • Satellite A300 and WXP 64-bit

    Hi,
    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-15k, it has CX20561 sound codec, I Found drivers for XP 64 but they are not working in 100%, I have sound but, when I plug in headphones, build in speakers still playing, i cannot mute them and second thing, build in microphone doesn't work, also when I plug in some other microphone to laptop it also doesn't work...
    I know that Toshiba doesn't support this OS, but maybe someone know how to fix this, or found better drivers, please help...

    > I have these problems because drivers which i used are not exacly for this model
    Hm I think thats the reason.
    You can Google for your sound chip and try to find a XP 64bit driver but its not sure that all will work because from Toshiba are no 64bit XP drivers available.
    Maybe a BIOS update could solve the problem.
    Good luck and post your result!

  • Satellite A300 and WIn7 - cannot use media buttons

    I have Satellite A300 laptop.
    Recently I reinstalled my Windows 7 Pro x64 using update option (not clean install). So I kept my program and settings. However the media player panel (or whatever it is called) that lets me play, stop music, change songs etc. is not fully working. I can't use 2 "buttons": one that lets me turn on/off highlighting and the other one that turns media player on.
    I need them working. I tired Toshiba button support, but I don't know what to do there.

    Hello
    What you must install is Toshiba Value Added Package. I use Win7 on my A300 and all buttons work perfectly. But I use 32bit version.
    I dont know if your A300 is supported for Win7 64 bit but you can try to use THIS version.
    Before you start installation remove old version, if exist, restart notebook and install this version.
    I hope this will help you.

  • Bootcamp 3.2 and Windows Drivers 2.2

    Hi all,
    i'm a little bit confused: There's Bootcamp 3.2 and there are seperate Windows Drivers (current Version 2.2).
    So, does the Bootcamp 3.2 update include a Windows drivers that are included in the 2.2 version of the drivers download?
    Since i updated to Bootcamp 3.2 i have some issues like: Display drivers issue an error (NVIDIA display panel extension can't be loaded), also NVIDIA desktop manager can't be opened (i worked fine when running Bootcamp 3.0).
    I thought about running the Drivers 2.2 update, too but since it's nearly 1 year older than the Bootcamp 3.2 update i didn't do so.
    Just in case: i'm on a MacBook Pro running Windows XP (NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M, Driver version 6.14.11.8861).
    Thanks: Lars

    Hi,
    it's easy to get confused.
    The 2.x Driver packages were introduced with OSX 10.5 Leopard.
    The 3.x Driver packages were introduced with OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    When you have the 3.2 Drivers installed you are up to date with the Drivers Apple provides.
    Nonetheless, especially the Graphics Drivers "outdate" the moment they are released.
    There might be a newer / better driver for the 9400 M avaiable at Nvidias website.
    As always with driver updates: have/make a backup before or at least a 'System Restore Point'. Just in case.
    regards
    Stefan

  • Satellite P300 and Windows 7 Beta..

    Hey guys..
    I updated the horrible Vista that my P300 came with to the new Windows 7 beta.. Most of the features are working correctly.
    Here are the problems i ran into.
    *HDMI* - it does work, but i lose audio via HDMI if i pause a video. If i'm on youtube and i watch a video the audio will be fine until i either pause it, rewind or fast forward the video, if i click on another video it will also stop working. This goes for any sort of video i watch on the pc.. not just youtube.. even DVD's.
    To get the audio via HDMI again, i need to go to audio devices and select pc speakers as default, then chose HDMI as default again.. then it will work until i pause or skip videos again.
    *Wireless Card..*
    If the P300 goes into sleep mode, sometimes i will not be able to re-connect to the wireless network again. I need to reboot the P300 to get it to connect again.
    I also have 4 or 5 items in the device manager that are not installed properly.. i cant list them now cause i dont have my laptop with me.
    Anyone else running Windows 7 Beta?? If so do you have any issues?

    Hello
    We all know that Windows 7 is still as beta version on the market and official support is not started.
    So to discuss about some issues on Windows 7 is for me definitely superfluously.
    The drivers, tools and utilities are not available yet and if everything works well it OK, if not we must wait until Windows 7 support starts.
    I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro P300 and play a little bit with it but I am not wondering if something wont work as it should.

  • Satellite T230 and Windows 8 compatibility

    Hello,
    My Satellite T230 (PST4AE) is not listed on Windows 8 compatibility's page. Is it not compatible at all?

    The Win 8 matrix lists only the notebook models which were delivered and preinstalled with Win 7 and will get Win 8 driver via Win 8 Update Assistant.
    But the list does not mean that not listed notebooks are not Win 8 capable
    Here is a official information from Microsoft about Windows 8 system requirements
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements
    If you want to run Windows 8 on your PC, here's what it takes:
    Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (more info)
    RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
    Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
    Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

  • Satellite A60 and Windows XP Recovery

    Hello all.
    I have recently bought a second hand Satellite Notebook from a friend (slightly older Notebook- from 2004.) When booting into a virtual environment and running anti virus applications (for the memory) and diagnostic tools (Everest and Memtest etc), all hardware appears to be functional and in good order. The HDD was dead when originally bought, so I have replaced that with a new one (first replacement was faulty, but was written to initially in tests, while the second is still RAW and unused). When attempting to do an OS recovery/reinstall off the original OEM product CD (T#R-02163001 PMR400170EN1 2/2) nothing happens to begin the process (no BootCD in drive- this despite the boot order being set correctly.) The single file on the CD is a 02163001.GHS file (615,722KB) inside a TOSHIBA folder. This I would guess to be the second or more of spanned Ghost files. However the first part, which, I imagine, should be a .GHO file, for automatically starting the bootup/recovery process, is absent. Assuming the CD-ROM (definately not the optical drive) to be defective, I have attempted to purchase a replacement over the net and by phoning the local suppliers. This CD is apparently no longer available, anywhere!
    Is the CD-ROM defective, based on the single file, its size and the possible missing .GHO file ?
    Is it possible to still make use of the image of the .GHS file on the original product recovery CD and incorporate it to recover the machine with a new CD with an .iso file, which I could create. If so, how would I go about that?
    Norton Ghost 10 cannot recognise this file type, for recovery. I have Norton Ghost 2003 too, but it is not meant to be used on an XP based machine platform. The Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 might do the job, but is $39 and I think a bit of a risky purchase. Using pirated software is not a viable option either.
    Purchasing at some cost, a non-OEM, generic Windows XP PRO is probably a solution, but I would preferably like to use my original OEM CD.
    If anyone knows any useful information or could provide a workaround, it would be appreciated.

    Hi
    You might find that you are missing the first of two recovery CD's . You will probably battle to get a replacement Product Recovery CD, as the laptop is about four years old. You could try your local ASP's or alternatively install an original generic (non OEM) Windows XP Home/ Pro CD.
    Maybe other users could confirm this???
    Cheers

  • Satellite A200 and Windows 7 64bit - How someone test it?

    Has anyone test and works with it.
    I have *A200 23W* with 4 gb memory, vista sp2 installed and i want to have a clear install on *windows 7 but 64bit version*.
    What do you think about?

    Loaded windows 7 on an A200 psace with 2gb of memory, most things are OK. video drivers initially was generic vga but after windows update the correct geoforce go driver was loaded. The flash media was not working as windows couldn't find a driver, downloaded vista driver from toshiba website which corrected problem. I have the professional version of windows 7 so I tried the xp compatibilty mode, this doesn't work, it says that the virtualization option in bios isn't enabled even though it is enabled in bios. It's ealy days yet but everything is looking fairly good, I had the beta version running for 2 or 3 months without too many problems

  • Re: Satellite A300-1EI: Windows 7 "consider replacing your battery

    I have my Toshiba two years.
    I bought it witch Vista, but I install to Windows XP.
    Laptop worked very good. In December 2009, I decided to install Windows 7.
    All drivers were available so I done it. Windows 7 worked perfect to yesterday.
    I have a communique from Windows 7 "consider replacing your battery" and laptop works on battery too short.
    Before this problem I could works 1 hour and 45 min. Now it is 15-30 min.
    I read in some forums in Internet that Windows 7 damage laptop's battery. Is it true?
    Is there any idea to repair it?
    I afraid to buy new battery if windows 7 damage it too. Thanks for your help.
    P.S.
    Sorry for my low English.

    Hi
    The Windows 7 has recognized that your battery performance it too low and that battery needs to be replaced.
    Please take a look here:
    +Notfication in the battery meter of Windows 7 "Consider replacing your battery".+
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0302U30000R01.htm
    As mentioned in this Toshiba document, this Microsoft this message is correct and the battery is really end of life (<40%).
    Seems its time for a new battery
