Satellite P100-463 and Intel VT

Hy
I've got a Satellite P100-463 Notebook (Model Nr. PSPA6E-03N01CGR), with Bios Version 2.7. Intel VT (Virtualization) is disabled, and Toshiba says there's no way to enable it.
A friend of mine has nearly the same model P100-354 (Model Nr. PSPA6E-03H01FGR), but with BIOS Version 2.4, and on that Laptop VT works. Intel tool says that :-)
The 2 notebooks have a similar hardware (354 has a 2ghz cpu, but VT should work on both).
So, i don't understand that...?!? Is it the BIOS Version? Is there a way to downgrade my BIOS.
Thanks

The point is that not all CPUs support the Intel Virtualization Technology.
If the CPU supports the VT then the BIOS should contain such ON/OFF option.
But if the BIOS doesn't support such ON/OFF option then you should check the Toshiba European driver page and should udpate the BIOS!!!
Then the VT ON/OFF setting should appear again.
Best regards

Satellite P100-324 (PSPA6E) - Intel T7400 - Virtualization disabled

Hi Toshiba support staff,
I have a toshiba satellite p100-324 (pspa6e) with intel core2duo t7400 processor and my problem is hardware virtualization (VT aka VMX) doesn't works because of it's locked off by bios. Also there is no option in bios for enabling it. It's not make any sence that you have this technology but you can't use it.
I'm a professional programer but i can't test my programs in virtual environment because of this smart bios. I have been waiting this from bios version 3.30. Now i'm using phoenix bios v4.70 but it's not done!
I think it's toshiba's irresponsibility, and if toshiba is not releasing a new BIOS in order to support what the features they sold, it will be my last toshiba product purchase. Beacuse it's waste of money. You should have clearly said what features were disabled if you're not planning to fix this problem. If toshiba's policy will continue like this, the unhappy customer number will be grow.

No, unfortunately you're wrong.
The cpu supports the virtualization (vt extensions). You can also see this by executing cpuinfo command in linux (by checking vmx flag in output) or running intel proccessor id utility program on windows.
BUT when i start ant guest operating system in virtual box with vt-x enabled, it shows me an error that telling it's turned off by bios and i have to enable it from bios. Also securable program is says my virtualization is locked off by bios. So i have vt support but i can't enable /use it.
(you can think that this is the program's fault but i checked it with xen, kvm on linux, virtualbox1.5 to 3.0 version with both linux and windows hosts, so i'm pretty sure that vt is disabled by bios and there's not an option to enabling it.)
thanks for your reply but i think the only way is a new bios with option for enabling vt.

Trying to get HD-DVD drive to work on Satellite P100-463

Hi everybody.
I bought this baby on the weekend and since I am struggeling trying to get HD-DVD to work on it. I added the xbox 360 HD_DVD drive but the Power DVD Software Advisor keeps telling that the graphic card 9Geforce Go 7900) drivers need to be updated in order to play HD-DVD content. Now, there is no newer driver available as the one installed (84.0?)
Can anybody please advise if the card supports hdcp protection anyways? Maybe my problem has another source.
Thanks for advice.

Wait do you use the drive designed for the Xbox in the Satellite P100?
Hmm, Im surprised that this device is compatible with the Toshiba notebook.
Anyway, as far as I know you need a special DVD software player to play and watch HD-DVD on the notebook.
A simple WinDVD does not support the new HD-DVDs.
By the way: I know one Toshiba model that was delivered with the HD_DVD drive.
It was a Qosmio G30 DVD HD Model.
I found in the driver download section on the Toshiba site a new update of Nvidia GeForce Go7600 graphic card driver Version 8.3.2.7
But I dont know if its compatible with you card...

The same DSDT bug that plagues almost all new P100 models. Try and see if you can find a fixed dsdt file for your model in http://acpi.sf.net. Also try this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-444743-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-sndhdaintel+acpi.html
Just so you know I've fixed my (a P100-386) and everything works like they should!

Satellite P100-239 and AHCI for the use of SSD

Anyone knows if there is a way to turn AHCI In BIOS or maybe Toshiba can answer if they are going to make it possible?
Why I ask is because I've installed an 80GB Corsair Force SSD disk and it will be a lot faster if i could turn on AHCI.
Ramnes

I am 100% sure that Toshiba will not support old notebooks with newest hardware so I dont think it will be offered new BIOS update or something similar.
Fact is that this old notebook model works well with compatible HDDs and supported operating system.
Every month Toshiba offers new notebooks with new hardware and, just in Europe, on 18 European languages. I believe you can imagine how much work they have to support all stuff so I dont think they will spent time and money for old notebook models.
I also have older Satellite. It is 4 years old. I cannot expect full support for some non-compatible HDDs or anything similar.

Cannot find Windows Vista 32bit Drivers for my Satellite P100-347

Hi,
I did a fresh installation of Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite P100-347 and on going to the driver download page, the vista drivers are no longer there!
Unfortunately without those drivers the laptop's performance isn't optimum. Does this mean Toshiba doesn't support my laptop model anymore? I hope not!
Could someone please point me in the correct direction!

Someone posted, that it may be server maintenance. I found a couple of posts asking for the same.

How can i reinstall cd/dvd drive - Satellite P100 PSPAD

Hi
I have Satellite P100 (PSPAD), and my cd/dvd drive (I dont know how or when) suddenly disappeard, it does not appear in my computer or device manager,
I tried this but coul not find the lowerfilters so i delite the upperfilter and restart the computer but that did not work.
So can I reinstall it somehow and how do i do it?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2.
You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values.
To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

Hi guys
Just one question;
Are you able to boot from the bootable disk like Toshiba recovery disk, Windows XP CD, Vista DVD or Linux live CD???
If yes, then you should try to reinstall the OS.
If not then this would mean that the CD/DVD drive malfunctions.
*@BlackJack_1*
You said the CD/DVD drive has been recognized by BIOS.
Do you see the whole CD/DVD drive title/name or you can see just the CD/DVD drive option.
You should also test if you can boot from one of the mentioned disk and to ensure that this is not a hardware issue!

Satellite P100-192: crackling sound coming from speaker when using MSN

Hello, i have just bought this p100-192 laptop. The speakers seem to muffle ( especially whenever there is an incoming message in MSN )
Does anyone know why and a solution to it ????

Hi,
I own a Satellite P100-188 and the sound crackled in windows with driver 3.11.0.0 and BIOS 2.10, after sending the notebook back to Toshiba only for them to install driver version 3.11.0.51 I found that some sounds where not playing at all. I have come to the conclusion that the Conexant sound chip (or hardware) is just rubbish, for instance take the sound volume of the beep tone when hitting caps lock or num lock compared to the general volume, which, at full volume is barely audible!
I myself went back to using version 3.11.0.0 as I would rather have crackling sound than missing sounds. I'm considering purchasing a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA sound card as I play games a lot on my notebook. If sound is important for you, you may want to consider it too.
An eaiser way to check your BIOS version is to click Start select Run... and enter this line in the dialog box
TInTouch.exe and hit enter.
Then switch to the Protect and Fix tab and left click PC diagnostic tool, it will list all the information on your notebook.
This is how I updated my BIOS, I downloaded the win update file and unzipped it, I then ran the Phoenix Winphlash program and entered a bios backup destination and browsed to the .wph file which was in the folder that the program unzipped to, I then followed the onscreen prompts and that was it, the machine re-booted with the new bios installed.

What Satellite P100 series includes P100-106?

I have toshiba satellite p100-106. On the back of the machine my model is PSPADE-018010G3.
When I want to check bios version or some other software or drivers it writes under p100-106 section: what's your model PSPA0E, PSPA3E, PSPA6E. But there is no PSPADE like mine is. I've checked it 5 times and it's not 0 it's letter d on my notebook.
What to choose?
Thanks

Hi
I am not 100% sure but I presume it works on this way:
Your notebook is delivered and preinstalled with Vista operating system. Your OS is complete and new. I do not believe that you will find any update in this short time. BIOS is also the latest one. Other units (Satellite P100-PSPA0, Satellite P100-PSPA3 and Satellite P100-PSPA6) are WXP units and all of them are Vista supported. Because of that there is priority to give support for those units because of Vista installation.
When new update will be available for your unit you will find it under http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/vista/ but at the moment there are no updates available.
What to choose? Nothing! Be happy with your new toy.

Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) - White screen, freezes then restarts by itself

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P100(PSPA6A) and am running Windows XP on it. Over the past month, I have had a problem with my computer where the screen turns white, it then freezes and restarts by itself.
I have taken it to a computer store to get it checked out but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I have tried to find if any programs are the source of this problem but I have not been able to find any. My computer can be on for 10hrs before this problem occurs and it can be on for about 5mins before this probelm occurs. It can also happen during the windows loading screen before it reaches the welcome screen. If this helps, there is a slight delay from when the screen turns white and when it freezes (I have music playing in the background on several occasions where the music was still playing for a few seconds while the screen was white, and then it froze and restarted).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi!
Did you already check the RAM by yourself using Memtest86 as Boarder suggested? I mean Memtest86 is really great for testing the RAM and if there is a problem, Memtest86 should find it.
Furthermore I would recommend checking the HDD. Therefore you can use Drive Fitness Test and Google is your friend to find it.
This program is also freeware.
In worst case you should go to an authorized service provider. Maybe its a problem of the mainboard or CPU and this can be checked from a notebook technician.
Bye

Satellite P100 does not boot up using Intel WLan 5300

Has anyone replaced the Satellite P100 with one of these Intel WLan 5300 card.
Using being when I plug it into the pci slot and boot up my lappy, nothing happens.
However when I plug my Intel Wlan 3945abg card back in everything boots up fine.
Whats the problems??

Hi
I think you used simply a not compatible WLan card
As far as I know the notebook has been already equipped with a miniPCI WLan card and according to your posting the notebook is running properly using the previous WLan card
If you want to solve this issue -> use the supported WLan card!

VT with Satellite P300 and Intel Core 2 Duo T5750

Hello there,
i recently bought a new Satellite P300 Notebook to be able to work with virtualisation technics. Unfortuanately, there is no "VT"-mark in the bios. Is there any possibility to activate the "VT"-Technology? I know that there are many posts about this topic, but they aren't very helpfull, because i already looked up my processor and intel says that it is "VT" capable...
Thanks a lot for your answers :-)

I started working as a Computer Technician about 4 weeks ago and this notebook was the cheapest way to try different systems (because it's quick enough!). The company i work for has many different clients who have very many different systems (also 64bit systems) so i wanted to use virtual machines to evaluate different problems... And without VT enabled a can't evaluate a 64bit virtual machine... So, if you are right (what i do think) then i've got a good notebook which is only good for "normal" business or homeuse... But thank you very much for your answer!

Fingerprint and remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

Does p100-387 have a fingerprint and remote control? Please, somebody answer me.
Thanks.

Hi
In my knowledge the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not delivered with remote control.
But you are right.
The fingerprint and remote control are optional and some notebooks from the P100 series support the fingerprint reader and are delivered with remote control.
I found also this site with the hardware specification of P100-387:
