Satellite C850-1G2 can't upgrade Win 8 to 8.1

When I try to upgrade Win 8 to 8.1 I get a message that says update Win 8 first.
When I try to update Win 8 I get 132 updates.
I have spent many hours trying to perform this task but the updates are not installed.
I tried using the troubleshooting tool which did some fixes and allowed me to install some updates but now nothing will install. There are still 85 updates which won't install.
The computer seems to hang a lot and run slowly. I have also performed a complete fresh install and recovery several times. I purchased the computer second hand.
I am tearing my hair out.
Can anyone please help?

Hi
I think first of all perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8
aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
then try to install all the Win 8 updates once again.

Satellite A300-1G2 can't install Win Xp - missing HDD

Hello,
I have just bought a new Satellite A300-1G2 without an operating system. Now I would like to install Win XP, however during instalation I receive a message that says that windows setup cannot find any hard drives installed on the system. What could be the problem?

I'm not sure whether what I'm going to write here is correct or not (oops) because I never did some of these stuff myself. To install XP I put my hard drive in compatibility mode just like you did and so far my XP works fine. BUT my install CD was a weird one so I cannot guarantee that this is the case for all others.
Apparently to put it back on the SATA AHCI mode you need to install a driver or software (sorry about being ambiguous but I decided to stick to using XP in the compatibility mode) called Matrix something. I'm sure there are hundreds of other threads on this issue so it's best for you to check them again and get some more correct information.
If you don't that and change your bios to SATA AHCI mode you'll get those horrible blue screens... That's as far as I know. Hope that helps

My Satellite C850-1G2 can't find BT device

Hi
I have blutooth switchen on on my laptop but it cant find device its a bush speaker. any ideas please?

I don't have this speaker and cannot test it with my machine but important is that your speaker must be in visible mode and can be detected by your notebook. Only in this case your speakers will be ready to pair.
Check users manuals and be sure your speakers can be detected by your notebook.
When you open Bluetooth option in Win8 you will see that BT is active and your notebook is searching for and also can be discovered by other BT devices.

Satellite C850-1NU does not boot Win 8.1 - Error Code 0xc0000098

Windows 8.1 will not boot
Laptop is *Toshiba Satellite C850 1NU*, as from Saturday it will not boot up!
*Error states "The boot configuration Data File doesn't contain valid information for an operating system.*
*File:\ BCD*
*Error Code 0xc0000098*
I have transferred recovery tools from another laptop to a USB stick and then enter bios of the Toshiba Laptop to make the USB drive to boot first.
It then comes up with the recovery tools.
I clicked on "Refresh your pc" it then reports "The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again".
I clicked on "Reset your pc" it then reports "Unable to reset your pc. A required drive partition is missing".
I have also tried "Automatic Repair" and it reports "Repair couldn't repair your PC".
I am at a loss as to get my sons laptop up and running again. Advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Further to my question, *I have now resolved the issue.*

Can't upgrade Win 7 Pro/64 to Win 8 Pro - setup can't continue

Hi,
When I try upgrade Win7/64 to Win 8, after "Collecting files, Settings and Applications (100%)" , error message says "setup can't continue".
The setuperr.log says basically "Failed to backup BCD database". So I have reinstalled Win 7 (over the current installation, so all basically remains the same, updated ALL, made
Clean Boot as described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 (loaded just system services and stopped ALL other services), but the error log remains EXACTLY the same:

What can I do more?

Happened to me, too.
I realized that on my Windows 7, "bcdedit /export" resulted in the same error ("The handle is invalid." == ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE == 0x00000006). Apparently the problem is not in Windows 8 but in the running Windows 7.
So I followed the procedure here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392/en-us which is renaming the old BCD and peforming "bootrec /RebuildBcd". (Note: Without renaming the original BCD, "/RebuildBcd" did nothing effective.)
After that, "bcdedit /export" started to work. Upgrading to Windows 8 also went through.
Thanks Bolean for the hint.

Satellite L655-149 - Can I upgrade from Intel Core i5 to i7?

Hi everybody,
I have Satellite L655-149 Satellite. Can I replace the processor from Core i5 to Core i7 and how?
Thank you.

Hey,
Theoretically you can upgrade the CPU but if you do this you will loose your warranty and everything happens on your own risk. Furthermore its not supported from Toshiba that means nobody can say if the new CPU would work properly or not.
You should check this article:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ35006D000RR01.htm

Satellite 1900-303: Can I upgrade the Hard Drive up to 120GB

I've a S1900-303 and I'm thinking of upping the Hard Drive to 120gb. What problems, if any, will I encounter and can I do it froom the Toshiba boot disk or should I just install XP from a XP disk?

Hi
As far as I can remember the Satellite 1900-303 was delivered with the 30GB HDD.
So in my opinion the 120GB HDD size is a little bit too big and I presume the notebook BIOS will not recognize this HDD!!!
I think you can use a 40GB, 60GB and maybe a 80GB HDD.
PS: you should search for the HDD with the enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface!!!
Good luck and have a nice day

Satellite C850 - Where can I get and Win7 istallation .iso from?

Hi guys,
I've searched around and found lots of threads, but haven't actually found a solution.
I bought C850 with Win7-64-home-premium preinstalled for my wife.
First I wanted to decline Microsoft EULA and claim money back for Win7 licence, but I thought its only 50 or 60 quid, and I might want it once a year so I left it as is.
First impression - its Terrible slow !!!
I have an old NB100, with Atom and 2GB RAM running Linux witch I use from time to time when I work on the move and this old tiny netbook is A LOT faster then my new C850 with i3 and 8GB of RAM. I mean A LOOOOOT faster.
Then I run Mint Live-CD and then I saw how fast C850 can be if only given real operating system instead of Microsofts crapware.
Then I installed WIn7-64-professional and there was a BIG difference. It wasn't nowhere near as fast as on Linux Mint, but it was whole lot better then original install.
That was only to check how it goes on clean install. I do not have licence for Win7-pro for C850 and I have not even a slightest intention of paying for something as useless as Win7. People should be paid for all the suffering caused by Win7.
On the other hand I would gladly pay for Linux Mint and in fact I have made a nice donation to the project not long time ago :)
Conclusion - slowdown was casued by Toshiba bloatware (which is completely not needed for proper operation of laptop!) and all the other stuff like McAfee or Nero.
I've tried to do reinstall but the reinstalled Win7 comes with all this bloatware and I need clean Win7 install.
To cut short answers like "install and delete waths not needed" - that doesn't solve the problem for two reasons:
1) if install and delete, a lot of stuff stays on the system, registry entries, lots of files etc
2) I need and .iso of Win7, so I can slipstream few things and get rid of WHOLE LOT of useless things
Where can I get and istallation .iso from ?
I mean clean Win7 without all that Toshiba bloatware, McAfee, Nero and other rubbish.
Mind you, I purchased a laptop with Win7 licence so I do have LEGAL RIGHT to use Win7 on its own.
Any hint VERY MUCH appreciated.
Thank you.

On this forum you can find a lot of similar threads where people write about the same experience. We can discuss about this theme for days but the conclusion is always the same: new notebooks are delivered with recovery image that contains OS, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities, additional software and some stuff that nobody needs.
Nobody force notebook owners to use recovery image like this. What you must do is OS optimizing. Remove all software you dont need, disable auto start for all not important stuff and check Windows settings. I do the same all the time and there is big difference how notebook runs, especially start-up time will be much shorter. On this forum you can find very interesting threads about that.
So my advice for you is to install recovery image again and optimize it. The performance will be OK and your wife will have nice piece of hardware for everyday work.
> 1) if install and delete, a lot of stuff stays on the system, registry entries, lots of files etc
Everything can be removed but if you dont do this it is definitely not so critical for notebook performance.
> 2) I need and .iso of Win7, so I can slipstream few things and get rid of WHOLE LOT of useless things
At first, you will not find iso file anywhere and slipstreaming will not work at all. You cannot unbundle recovery image and use parts that you need. It doesnt work on this way.
I just hope you have created recovery disc before you have started your testing phase.

Re: Satellite U400-15G - Can I upgrade it to a Core2Duo CPU?

Hello,
Iam Benji from Germany and ive got a question about my new Sattelite U400-15G.
Installed is a DualCore T3200, now ive fugured out, that the Notebook runs on a G45 Express Chipset
that supports much better Core2Duo CPUs with lower energy.
But i dont know exactly, which Cpu Port ive Got, and which FSB the maximum of my Notebook is...
800 / 1066 is what i find about the chipset G45 in the interhnet...but its quite better to ask here
around, before buying an new cpu, which isnt working ;)

First of all one general information;
I read here in the forum that the CPU upgrade is not supported by Toshiba
This means that even you will be able to upgrade the CPU, nobody will be able to say if your notebook would run stable or not furthermore the BIOS has not been designed for other CPUs and there is a high risk that there could be a compatibility issue.
Regarding the chipset:
Luke is right. The notebook has been equipped with Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset and with the Pentium Dual Core T3200 (2.00GHZ) 667MHZ CPU
Here the Intel page about Core 2 Duo mobile CPUs
http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=26548
and here you CPU:
http://ark.intel.com/cpu.aspx?groupId=29760
Here the details about Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset
http://www.intel.com/Products/Notebook/Chipsets/GL40/GL40-overview.htm
PS: I dont understand why a CPU upgrade is so important for you; to be honest you will not notice any strong performance boosts after CPU upgrade and in my opinion the risks are too high that the notebook would not run stable

Re: Satellite L50-B05D can't load Win 8.1 - bootable device not found

Hi
I have a Satellite L50-B05D and I recently downloaded the bios update and I applied it to my system. When I did it said that it contained the update already. After being on the laptop for a while, I closed the lid and it turnt off. When I turnt it back on Windows wouldn't load up and a message of bootable device not found occured.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Did you check the HDD status on the first BIOS page?
If HDD is OK, the first BIOS page should provide the info about the connected HDD (HDD name)
At the other hand the HDD might be faulty if its not listed on the first BIOS page.

Satellite L650 psk2cu - Can't find Win XP sound driver

Hi...
i recently purchased 3 L650 laptops for our department..
I downgraded from Windows 7 to XP pro because of conflicks with older software we have to have...
I was able to find all drivers except audio and modem... Yes i have allready went to europe toshiba site and tried the Conexant and Ati drivers..
They dont work.. Also looked on conexant site.... Spend at least 8 hours trying to find thses drivers..
Ready to return the laptops....model # is psk2cu-01000j...
Any and all help is needed

What does this mean doesnt work?
Do you have some yellow exclamation marks near the sound card in device manager?
Did you try to reinstall everything again?
For other people the sound driver worked fine so it seems something went wrong in your case
I googled and found also this page:
[Conexant HD Audio CX20561 Driver v.3.47|http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/drivers/sound_cards/companies/conexant/models/hd_audio/time_elapsed/9102.html]
On another page i found this advice... someone posted this:
+Download ConexantHDAudio 221_XP+
+Go to Device Manager and choose your audio device marked with '?'.+
+Select Details. Here you can find something like:+
+HDAUDIO\Func_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5069&SUBSYS_17AA4002 +
+14F1 & 5069 strings are Vendor and Device ID's and are Conexant Cx20561 identification.+
+Add the string 17AA4002 in .inf file located in ConexantHDAudio 221_XP\XP32\WiSVHe5.inf in a line like:+
+%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Hermosa5051.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5069&SUBSY S_103C30D9+
+Save the changes and install the driver.+

Satellite L855-124 can't change display brightness after Win 8 upgrade

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L855-124 PSKACE laptop.
After upgrading to Windows 8, I can't change the brightness backlight of the laptop screen.
There seems to be an error in the graphical driver.
When I install the Windows 7 graphical AMD driver under compatibility, it works again but bugs out on other areas.
Anyone have any ideas?
Even after using the upgrade assistant provided by Toshiba it does nothing.
Also the drivers for my laptop are poorly updated. Dating back to 2012.
I have also called tech support, they told me that a driver team will be fixing the issue.
That was 2 months ago.
Is there anyone from Toshiba that can help me with this please?
Thank you.
