Satellite P300-156 - Cannot install any OS

Hi
i have had a P300-156 for some time now.
It was fine up untill recently, when the DHCP client stopped workin and wouldnt start,
So i tried to restore from disc and had no dice with that attempt.
So i attempted to recover from HDD again no luck the laptop keeps freezing after the install.
So i tried to install Ubuntu on the laptop but again same problem, linux says "Buffer error I/O sdo" ??
I'm not sure what that is, it did however manage to wipe the entire drive.
And i cannot XP to install because it wont find the HDD.
So the situation is that i have no recovery methods and cannot install another OS.
Guys im really confused about what to do here, so if anyone can help please i need it.

Hi James
Im not quite sure if your HDD died or not but you should know that your Win XP Setup will not recognize the HDD too if the SATA driver was not included.
The point is that your P300 was equipped with the SATA HDD controller and the SATA driver is necessary and needed if you want to install any of the operating system.
The SATA driver is a part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
So if you want to install the XP on your P300 you should firstly include the SATA drive into the XP installation CD.
This can be done very easily using a free software called nLite.
This Toshiba doc would be helpful for you because if describes step by step how to include a SATA driver;
Check this:

Satellite P300 -156 Windows 7 Crash Problem

Hello,
I have the Toshiba Satellite P300-156 PSPC4E model, and i have had this laptop for a couple of years now.
Before installing windows 7 i had the default Windows Vista installed, and it worked fine.
Now since installing windows 7, ANY game i try and play just causes the laptop to just go black screen and shut down after about 5 - 10 minutes of playing.
I thought this was due to an overheating issue... so i opened the laptop and cleaned it all out, and then put it back together again.
(YES i have checked all wires are back in where they should be and all components are working properly)
This didn't work.
Then i tried updating all my drivers, and software ect.
Still nothing.
I've trawled through pages and pages of search results for the same problems with Windows 7 and game crashing... but nobody seems to know how to fix it.
I thought it was just windows 7, but i re installed windows vista and it's still doing the same thing on there now.
I've tried installing all the drivers from toshibas website for this model laptop and no luck.
My windows vista and windows 7 are both genuine copys.
All the hardware is working normally (as far as im aware) and i really can't see what can be causing this problem.
If anyone could give me some advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi
Which display driver you are using? Im not P300 owner but on my A300 I had a similar issue that the notebook crashed during playing a game. It seems that the reason was a 3rd party driver or lets say the driver from the graphic chip manufacture directly. I think because they are not pretested on the notebook and causing overheating
So I would recommend installing the latest display driver from the Toshiba website.
Last but not least which Windows 7 version (32 or 64bit) you have installed and which BIOS version?
The Toshiba website shows also new BIOS versions and different versions for 32bit and 64bit OS. Maybe you have to update/change it Who knows?!

Satellite P300-156: Vista wont start after installation of Toshiba Tempo

Hi
I have a new Satellite P300-156 which I have been using for about a month with no problems. It has been great.
This morning I had a message come up to install Toshiba Tempo which I did and all was fine until I restarted the laptop and now Vista wont start.
I have followed all the diagnostic tools, tried system restore etc... but still nothing.
I currently live in Italy, so is hard to take it into a computer repair shop as I dont speak Italian and the operating system is in english.
From what I can see my only option now is to do the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery, but I would loose some data which I have done since my last backup. Is there any way to backup data to a usb storage device using command promts before I do this, or is there a simpler way out of this?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Keith

Hi
Thanks for getting back so soon, however, F8 does nothing when starting. I have an option of F2 or F12, but neither gives me options to access last known good configuration.
Is that the same as a system restore from the Vista system recovery options as I have tried this (gives you a list of last known configurations). But still no luck.
If I do the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery function do I need a disc for this?
thanks

I have an iPod Touch which I've had for almost 4 years, with 32 GB of memory. I am unable to update it, and consequently cannot install any newer apps. I am very disappointed that I spent a lot of $$; now Apple wants me to spend $$ again to get a new one. As I mentioned, I am pretty upset. Does anyone know if there's a work around?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

: I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

Are you saying the iBook G4 you have is running OS X 10.5.6?
The next file to get for it would be the Combo update 10.5.8 for Leopard.
And any old archived Flash player for 10.5.8 from Adobe flash site.
A browser such as TenFourFox, iCab, SeaMonkey-PPC, these are OK
but you won't be able to go past Leopard 10.5(.8) in a PowerPC Mac.
All these are free bits, however anything past 10.5.8 Mac OS X
would require a newer Mac with Intel-based architecture. Macs
made in 2006+ can see later OS X versions.

Thank God, everything is fixed now:
First, I deleted all these files, then i follows the following procedure
1. For libgexiv2 file i upgraded 'xorg-server, xorg-xinit, xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils' from pacman
# pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
2. For libraw file i upgraded 'libraw' from pacman
# pacman -S libraw
There will be some conflicting files
After deleting some conflicting files it solves the problem and restore all the 'lib' file.

My iPad 1 cannot install any apps from apple store even though it has been updated to ios 5.1.1 which is better than 4.3 that is required by most of the apps in apple store. I reset factory settings but still to no avail I cannot install any apps.

MY iPad 1 cannot install any apps

A lot of apps have current versions that require higher iOS versions than 5.1.1
But some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps. If the app is free then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that it's in your account's 'purchase' history, and then in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad see if you can download an older compatible version of the app. If the app is paid-for then try contacting the developer first and see if that will work with their app (and if they have a version compatible with iOS 5.1.1 available) - don't buy the app until you know that it will work.
There is also this page for finding current apps that require iOS 5.1.1 or lower : https://sites.google.com/site/appleclubfhs/support/advice-and-articles/finding-a pps-for-older-devices#5.1.1

Cannot install any application from new Winows market.

Cannot install any application from new Winows market. I click "Install" and... that's all... nothing more...
P.S. I am on domain network.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Don't worry, no special etiquette, we're all friends here
What was the software that you installed that claims to "enhance the speed of your system"? The logical thing to do would be to uninstall the application and hope that it hasn't caused wider ranging problems. The SW, if only halfway reputable, should have come with uninstall instructions. Follow the instructions, reboot and see if your download problem is fixed.
WRT to the slowing down that prompted your (misguided) installation of this SW there are many things that may be the culprit but the most common and easiest to fix is the remaining space on your HD. What size is your HD and how much free space is there? This info can be obtained by selecting your HD and keying Command (Apple) + I (the letter 'eye').
Post back with the SW concerned and the remaining space and we can take it from there.
Good luck,
Adrian

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 from SCCM 2012 R2 environment

Dear all,
Sattelite Z series laptops cannot install OS (win 8.1) from our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
Either no installation is starting, or pxe boot aborted error is showed.
The environment is used to successfully install OS (win 8.1) on different other vendor computers (dell) and virtual machines (hyper-v and vmware).
I've tried both UEFI and CMS boot options and tried to switch off the secure boot. Please advice.
Also, i've read about the "SCCM installation package for Toshiba". Will it help in my situation or is it just driver packages for SCCM?
Best Regards, Evgeny.

I guess you are speaking about this Toshiba package:
http://www.toshiba.eu/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/
I dont have much experience using such SCCM drive package but it definitely compatible with the Toshiba business notebooks. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the business range and I think the package should be compatible.
This package seems to be for all IT administrators who manage devices on the corporate network with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new Toshiba SCCM package a solution to integrate other notebook into an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all Toshiba Driver and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.
However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]
By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in case the UEFI BIOS is available). But booting from another, external source requires the disabled secure boot option.
So maybe you should use the UEFI mode but should disable the secure boot option in order to boot from LAN.

Cannot install any apps from Creative Cloud in corporate environment. Suspsected Firewall issues.

Hello all.
I subscribed successfully and easily to CC on my home PC (iMac) and downloaded a few apps. All is fine.
I wanted to download those same few apps on a remove machine I use several times a week (Win 7).
After many many attempts of trying to download CC and getting a generic error message, I learned it could be a firewall issue here at this work/office. I found this in Adobe's forums:
Many organizations use a hardware firewall and proxy server that can prevent software from accessing an FTP server. A hardware solution applies to all computers within the corporate network. Most home networks do not use hardware firewall or proxy technology.
Contact your company's IT department to obtain firewall or proxy information.
Configure your browser with proxy or firewall information.
Configure your corporate firewall to by-pass the servers. The following servers are accessed:
ccmdl.adobe.com:80
swupmf.adobe.com:80
swupdl.adobe.com:80
Having nothing to loose, I put in a request and had these addresses/ports opened up in our firewall. That seems to partially fix the problem.
Now the problem is the speed and traffic is so terribly slow with CC that nothing installs with out failing and giving error. For example, I am trying to install PhotoShop CC and it will take a couple of HOURS to even get to 10% and then it fails. Usually, it doesn't get that far. CC just gives me the generic message:
"Installation Failed - Learn More."
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(-7).
Our network admins swear that there is nothing wrong with the ports/firewall and yet all this works fine at my home. Can anyone offer any suggestions or advice? My internet connection here is fine. All other sites load and work fine. I simply cannot download any of the CC aps here with any reasonable speed.
Help!
PS - The URLs and ports ping just fine.
