Satellite L350D-214 - Windows 7 setup doesn't finish

My Satellite L350D-214 wont set up properly.
I've looked in the manual and it says follow the on screen set up and I do. It comes up with language so I click english and then next, it then comes up with Windows 7 install, so i click next. then it comes up with a large black square, with white writing, it says press any key to continue so i did. Then it does nothing.
At the bottom of the screen theres another boz which I've opened and also tried pressing any key because this one also says that i should.
It just doesnt do anything!

Hi
Do you try installing Windows 7 from a Microsoft disk or Windows upgrade kit from Toshiba?
I dont know if you make an upgrade or new installation but you should try it with a new installation.

Windows XP Setup doesn't recognize my Boot Camp partition! HELP!!!

I just got my MacBook two days ago, and as soon as I got it, the first thing I did was partition the hard drive using Boot Camp Assistant, but didn't have an XP installation disk, so just left the partitions until I got the disk. But then today I got a Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Install Disk. I followed all of the instructions in Boot Camp, and I started the setup. When I got to the menu that said to choose a partition, it only showed my Mac OS X partition and not the Boot Camp partition. The only partition there was Partition 1, file system unknown, and so I quit the setup and booted up into Mac, and deleted the partition, then made another one in Boot Camp Assistant. I then tried the setup again, and got the same exact thing. Has anybody else had this problem, and if you have, how did you resolve it? This is very annoying, and any help would be appreciated.

I called AppleCare and they told me that it is doing this because it is an OEM version that came with my sister's Dell. You need either a retail copy or the other type of OEM OS disk.
This is nonsense. I installed from an OEM disk yesterday. The Windows OEM & retail installation disks are barely any different.
Note that Microsoft maintain that legally, as per the EULA, you can't buy an OEM version yourself & install it, and also that the license sticker's key may only ever be used on the PC it was originally stuck to. Here in Europe they suffered a court defeat on that latter point - you certainly need a separate license key for each computer but it maybe transferrable if you uninstall from the original PC. Nevertheless, Microsoft still insist to anyone who pays them attention that this condition holds, and indeed your jurisdiction may vary.
Unfortunately, this makes it frustrating to argue with anyone who maintains that you can't use an OEM disk (but nevertheless OEM disks DO work - I have used them on multiple occasions).

I need some XP drivers for Satellite L350D-110 PSLE8E

Hello there.
I have now my brandnew Toshiba notebook. It comes only with VISTA, a very nice looking system.
But I want to use my notebook in our office too and then I need to install XP Professional.
XP is already installed, but i need some drivers to complete the system installation.
Here is screenshot from my hardware manager (hope it will work in this forum):
http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screengmhv9.jpg
Can anybody help me?
Or is there a chance to get a downgrade option from Toshiba?? Without a downgrade I cannot use my brandnew notebook.....

For the Satellite L350D and Windows XP there are all drivers available.
I think you forget to install two or more drivers.
Here you can download it:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Search for your model and you will get a list of all drivers. Then you can compare which drivers you didnt install yet.
As Jeffrey said, I should be the AMD Processor Driver, Realtek driver and the card reader.

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on Satellite M40

Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on this notebook. Vista hangs after installation and doesn't boot up. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hello
As far as I know older units are not Vista supported. I believe it is not necessary to say why. Satellite M40 is older notebook model and definitely not Vista supported. Many newer WXP preinstalled notebooks are Vista supported but Toshiba has for each model designed new BIOS version and before installing Vista the BIOS update must be done at first.
I can imagine that new BIOS is needed for M40 too but as I said before this machine is not Vista supported. I am very interested if someone will report more about Vista on Satellite M40.

Satellite L350D-213 - Updating drivers on Windows 7

Bought Satellite L350D-213 mid Nov. Pre-loaded with Winodws 7. System auto detect on Tosh site shows that whole batch of new Windows7 drivers issued on 3/12/09. Was wondering whether I need to install all these drivers.
Up to now only prob has been webcam "locked by another application" which hours of web searching showed to be very common prob. Downloaded latest webcam driver issued on 3rd Dec. Cam ok at moment but only time will tell. Is it advisable to go through the whole list of applicable drivers or leave things as they are. Don't want to cause uneccessary probs.
Any advice welcome.

Hello
Its nice to read that your webcam works properly now and this would be also my suggestion to update the driver regarding this issue.
However, if your computer runs properly now I dont see any reason to update any drivers. Why you should do this?
I think drivers are only released to solve problems on other notebooks or compatibility issues so if you dont have problems you must update nothing. I can recommend never change a running system! ;)
So have fun with your notebook dont bother about updating drivers.

Satellite L350D - hotkeys dont work

I have a problem with program Toshiba Utiliities V1.00.06 (same problem with with v1.00.01). When trying to install there's a communicate coming up. It says: "TOSHIBA Common Module not found! This setup will terminate."
Its some situation with wireless,I have all installed,I see networks and I cant loggin bcs dont works Fn+F8 :(.
What is that and why does it occur? Problem this occurs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 it's just after beeing installed.Orriginaly there was Windows Vista SP 1.
Notebook is Satellite L350D PSLE0E-00600KEN.

Hello Domel
As I can see on Toshiba download page your notebook model is not supported for WXP and Toshiba doesnt offer any driver, tool or utility. So I am asking myself what are you doing exactly and which Toshiba Utilities you try to install.
Can you please tell us where you found WXP Toshiba Utilities for Satellite L350D PSLE0E?
BTW: I just hope you have created Vista recovery DVD before you started installing WXP.

Satellite L350D Works for a few minutes and then completely stop

Hi all!
I am having a weird problem with my laptop Satellite L350D-216
I've used it for a long time in a row and starts to show some strange vertical lines at the screen and kind of loose focus and then it went completely black
Since then if I switch off and leave for a few hours it switches on normally and work for 5/10 minutes and goes black again.
It happens after I was working on it for about 20 hours straight or so (might be related)
What i did tried:
-Switch on only with the battery
-Switch on only with the AC
-Take all off and hold off key for 1 min and then try again both above
When it does switch on everything seems to be working 100% without problem but doesnt last more then 10 minutes as I said
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi Horwath and Pau Pau,
First of all thanks for trying to help.
This morning I've open the laptop and clean it the cooler completely (was full of dust) and it is now working full speed.
What I've noticed however is that the problem seems to be worsening. Today, even before the cleaning, when I switch on the computer after a whole night of i got the blank screen straight away. So I couldn't test it at BIOS as you guys ask me too, however yesterday, even before posting here, I've tried something similar and the black screen came after a few minutes as if i was using windows.
You think the GPU is faulty?
And, if the answer is yes, is it worthy/possible to replace? How much it would cost?
Any further test I could do to make sure the problem is at the GPU?
Thanks again
Amantino

It doesn't give me any specific information about what or where the problem is.
Any Suggestions

Repair your Apple Software Update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU in All Program, go to Control Panel, Add & Remove programs and repair it.

Boot Camp Partition shows up Smaller in Windows 7 Setup

I just installed a new Seagate 1TB hybrid drive (STBD1000400) in my mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB of RAM, with OS X 10.9.2 and Boot Camp (and all other Software up to date). Everything went fine with the installation of the new Drive and is showing up as 1TB in the system in OS X.
When I go to setup my partition in Boot Camp I set it so OSX has 600GB and Boot Camp has 400GB. After it completes the partition it automatically goes into installing Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. But when I go to pick which partition to install it on, the 400GB Boot Camp partition I created only shows up as 372GB, not 400GB. And I can see my 600GB partition in the list only showing up around 540GB. After the Windows 7 install it still shows the drive as 372GB.
After the install and started back up in OS X and I checked the drive and it shows them correctly as 600GB and 400GB. So restarted back in Windows 7 and it still shows the Boot Camp partition as 372GB instead of 400. I even went into Disk Management and it doesn't show any unpartitioned drive space available either.
So I started back up in OS X and deleted the Boot Camp partition and started over trying to go with the 600 and 400GB partitions, but it still shows the 400GB partition as only 372GB again during the Windows 7 setup.
Anyone know what can be causing Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium to not recognize the full 400GB partition?
Anyone ever come across a similar problem?
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions offered.
Thank you,
Nick

Capacity of the drive or size of the volume. In windows 7 it says 931.32GB. Rebooting into Mavericks, DU shows the volume as
1,000,204,886,016 Bytes
So....at least one of them must be wrong I would consider Windows 7 using some 1024 based number and the mac showing raw bytes. I bet all your space is accounted for.

Satellite L650D-10J - Windows 7 won't start

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J, Windows 7 64Bit, 4GB RAM and it won't start Windows 7. It starts and then you see Toshiba logo startup etc. and then it goes to black and it loads up Windows Bootmanager with the following message ;
+A problem to your computer occurred while communicating with a device that is connected.+
+This error may be caused by an external storage device such as an external USB drive, the device while in use, or damaged hardware such as a hard disk or CD-ROM drive disconnect that is damaged. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.+
+contact the hardware manufacturer if you still see this error.+
+Status: 0xc00000e9+
+Information: An unexpected I / O error occurred.+
(it was translated out of dutch so there are some sentences that aren't correct.)
I've tried downloading a Windows 7 recovery disc, burnt it on DVD. It works I'll get to choose to set it back when it was working correct (I get an error) or use a Windows 7 from disc (doesn't work). And if I start in safe mode I can see that it stops and freezes at file; disk.sys
Anyone an idea?
Greetings,

Hello
And have you connected external USB device as the error message says? If yes remove all USB devices and try to start your notebook again.
Fact is if you cant start in safe mode your OS is muddled up and the only option to get rid of this is reinstalling Windows.
Are you using the preinstalled Windows 7 version from Toshiba? If yes go into advanced boot menu of Windows pressing F8 key where you can select safe mode, etc. and choose Repair my computer option. Then select Toshiba HDD recovery and factory settings will be restored. Also check this article about HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
If HDD recovery doesnt work you need an original Toshiba recovery disk. If you didnt create this disk just order a new one here:

Re: Trying to install Win7 on Satellite L350D

Hi guys
I have a Toshiba Satellite L350D and I am trying to install the Windows7 again cause the screen went black so I decided to format and install everything again but when its finishing the installation the laptop reboots but the screen continues black :(
Any clews?
Can I do a BIOS update without having Windows working and should this sort it out my problem?
Best regards
Luis

If you have recovery disc you can install original image later. Now is important to have well working OS. For this purposes you can use Microsoft installation disc and later install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities from Toshiba support page. I have done this several times on different Toshiba notebooks and every time everything went well.
Back to your original question: it is not easy to say why the screen stays black. You know that after OS installation notebook may restart several times to finish OS installation and prepare desktop for the first use.
Maybe is some external device connected to your notebook? Please disconnect all connected stuff and try installation again.
Before you start it set BIOS to default settings. It must work somehow.
Good luck.

Satellite L350D - BIOS crash after update?

Hey all.
Was putting windows XP onto my Satellite L350D, worked fine, had all the drivers in etc and working perfectly. Came back onto the toshiba website and saw there was a BIOS update for it, so, downloaded, and told it to install. Half way through it shut the laptop down (power pack fine and had full battery, so must have been the update).
Now it won't boot up what so ever. The power light comes on but nothing else works.
Im guessing it has wiped the BIOS or corrupted it, is there any fix for this or can I send it back to toshiba or am I out of luck?

Dependant on your skill level a new bios chip can be placed on the board. I'm not familular with your board but generally bios chips come in two flavours, ones that you can place in a holder (more often or not on desktops) and ones that are soldered onto the motherboard. There are places on line that sell bios chips loaded with your laptops bios, it's just a case of then replacing the chip. If you have no soldering skills I wouldn't recommmend doing this yourself though.

Re: Satellite L350D-10X work temperature

Hello!
I have a Toshiba Satellite L350D-10X model PSLE8E with MS Windows 7 Ultimate RC1.
Everest software show 87C (185F) of both processors core. How I know - it's too much. Time after time my laptop is turning off.
What can I do for avoid this trouble?

How warm is the air coming out of the vent?
If its cold after 30 minutes, then the heatsink may be loose or faulty, or the thermal grease is insufficient or dried up.
ps. the laptop has a safely mechanism where it shuts the laptop off if it overheats.
If its not shutting off, then maybe that temperature is normal for that AMD CPU, or the Temperature software is not reading the degrees properly.
Run HWMonitor and tell us the temperature in there: http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php
