Thanks in advance,

Hello Antti
You must not use the recovery CD for installation. You can also use Microsoft WXP CD for installation. All necessary drivers on English you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Bye

  • Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1A: Recovery disk not working - 0xc000000f error

    I get error 0xc000000f when restarting and if i try the recovery disk i get error error: 10-FC12-0241
    operating system is vista business and laptop is toshiba L300 PSLB1A - 02S008

    Hi
    You mean you cannot boot the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you have created?
    Go to the BIOS and check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized. It should be listed on the first BIOS page.
    If the CD/DVD drive is not listed then you should set the SATA mode to compatible and should save the changes.
    After that try to boot again from the Recovery disk.
    I also searched on the Toshiba European driver page for some info and found some details;
    There is a firmware update for CD/DVD drive TS-L633A and TS-L633P.
    This Firmware solve "Sometime not able to writing on DVD+R media".
    The issue happens only DVD+R media, other kind of media have no problem.

  • Need info about max HDD size available for Satellite Pro M30-813

    Hello,
    The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel. What exactly is the limitation of a maximum size of an internal HDD that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30-813?
    Recently, I have bought and installed seagate 160 GB SATA drive, onto which I have successfully installed WXP Pro and have been running it for quite a while with no problems. Recently, I have been copying large amount of data from an external hard drive to my new internal disk, and as the files were being copied as I noticed having about 50 GB free space left, I had experienced windows "delayed write failed" and a massive partition failure with no possibility to recover data. The system would no longer boot and the whole MBR was damaged. As the result, I have lost all data on my new disk.
    Although, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my laptop and that is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am certain that as an end user of a Toshiba product I have the right to know about a max HDD size limitation information for my notebook model. Therefore, I request Toshiba technical support representative to give me a straight official answer to my question.
    Thank you in advance,

    Hi Andrew
    > The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel
    I think you are in the wrong area if you are looking for an answer from an authorized Toshiba support.
    This is a Toshiba user-to-user forum! You will meet here Toshiba notebook owner and enthusiasts who share knowledge and tries solve problems but nobody from Tosh :(
    I could provide my experience with the M30 Satellite and the HDD upgrade possibilities.
    In my knowledge the Sat M30 supports a 40GB, 60GB and 80GB HDD for sure.
    In my opinion you could use the 100GB HDD but bigger HDDs will not run and functions correctly.
    So switch to a lower HDD size and enjoy the notebook!
    Ive goggled a little bit and found compatible HDD and the part numbers
    HITACHI GBC000Z810 -> 80GB
    HITACHI GBC00014810 -> 80GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2188B -> 80GB
    HITACHI G8C0000Z610 -> 60GB
    HITACHI G8BC00013610 -> 60GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2183 -> 60GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2184 -> 60GB
    I hope this could help you a little bit!
    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro M30 graphics card not working when driver is installed

    Hi all,
    Im having problem with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a Satellite Pro M30 laptop, (Intel Pentium M processor 1.7 GHz, 512 Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the notebook stops.
    I have formatted the notebook and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the VGA driver I restarted the notebook but black screen started coming up right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The notebook continues to start up but no screen.
    It starts just fine in safe mode. I get my best screen by simply disabling the geforce card or uninstalling the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA from the Toshiba download site but same problem appears. I have also tried updating BIOS but nothing happens.
    Anyone can help me?
    [email protected]

    It is very strange issue. It will be really interesting to know if this happen when you use delivered recovery installations CD.
    Anyway I presume there is some problem with LCD display. In safe mode the desktop is shown in lowers resolution but when OS starts the resolution will be adapted for standard one (1280x800) and obviously there is the problem.
    I am not technician but I recommend you to contact service partner. As far as I know they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

  • Keyboard not responding - Satellite Pro M30

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a Satellite Pro M30. The keyboard has stopped responding completely. When I turn the laptop on and when it prompt me for login credentials I am just not able to enter it, nothing happens when the keys are pressed.
    I re-installed the unit using recovery CD but no luck. Interestingly, when I put laptop in stand-by mode, and when it comes back to normal mode, keys work for few seconds. Also if I kill the explorer.exe and launch new one, keys works for some time.
    Since keys are working when laptop comes out of standby mode, the keyboard is not completely dead/hardware failure. My OS is XP Pro SP2.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sanjay Kedare

    Hello
    The best way to check the functionality of the unit is to preinstall the unit with original recovery CD or DVD. Like I can see you have already done this.
    If the problem still persists I assume there is some hardware problem. I dont know if the unit is new one or used one but you should contact service partner in your country and explain them the situation. Valid warranty will cover all costs if some hardware part is defective and must be exchanged.

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
    I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
    I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
    In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - cannot install sound driver

    Hi
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 which usaed to work fine but I can no longer install sound card drivers on it.
    I THINK it has happened since we reinstalled windows XP Pro with SP2 but can not be certain.
    It is trying to install the Sigmatel AVC97 drivers and comes up with the following error.
    Invalid operating system parameter or this installer does not support this operating system
    Any suggestions as there seems to be only one sound driver for the SPM30 family.

    Nobody here have got a problems with sound driver installation just you
    So is this not strange for you???
    Either you did something wrong or its your windows XP issue.
    Please note that the Toshiba driver page provides also the Installation Instructions
    There you can find the right installation order!
    Install your OS again and follow this instruction in this doc!

  • What is the mainboard productnumber on Satellite Pro M30?

    Hello,

    Start Google and put P000400260 as search term and check the results.

  • Satellite Pro M30, Is it recommended to install the new display driver from nVIDIA?

    I own a Satellite Pro M30 notebook, which includes a GeForce FX Go5200 GPU made by nVIDIA. On July 27, nVIDIA released a new driver and related software (version 61.77) which, as stated by nVIDIA, fits all its GPUs.
    I tried to install this new driver on my notebook (after removing the old driver as instructed by nVIDIA) but it does not install. Does somebody have any idea why?
    Why isn't the new driver posted on Toshiba's driver support site for this notebook?

    Hi
    All drivers are designed and tested for the notebooks and Tom is right about depending on notebook producer. That means that you can find all necessary drivers on Toshiba download page.
    As far as I know Toshiba supports the drivers delivered with the unit and updates drivers if needed.

  • UK key tops for Satellite Pro M30

    I have bought a Satellite Pro M30 in France and it has a French keyboard. I have set it up to work as a UK version but can anyone tell me how to get UK key tops so I can change them for the French ones. Failing that, does anyone have the part number for a new keyboard for this model?

    Wow! This system realy works. Thank you so much for getting back to me so soon.
    I will keep this question open for the time being just in case someone comes up with a place to get just the keycaps - hopefully that will be cheaper than buying a complete keyboard.

  • Satellite PRO S300M-EZ2401 Recovery Disc---Vista Business or XP SP3

    I bought this second hand with a Microsoft XP Service Pack 3 Recovery Disc (XP OS). It is Windows Vista Enabled with licensed sticker at the bottom which I assume is a Vista Business CD key. If I order a recovery disc for this model, will I get the one with a vista business installer so I can use the CD key at the bottom? I have read in one of the messages in the forum that a retail version installer will not recognize the CD key found at the bottom of this laptop as this is an OEM. confused confused. I thought I can just get a vista business installer and put in the cd key.

    Satellite Pro S300M-EZ2401
    Since the specs above say it comes with Windows Vista Business (32/64-bit version), SP1, then I think it's fair to infer that's what the recovery discs will contain.
    The package may also include the downgrade media mentioned there.
    In any case, the key on the bottom is irrelevant. Whichever Windows becomes available when you restore from  recovery discs is pre-activated. There is no activation required.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - Download for drivers?

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone is able to help me out:
    I tried to find the drivers for my notebook on this site here, since my original CD with the drivers on it got lost. I was able to get to the drivers' section where I entered the serial number of my notebook. After this was done, I got redirected to a site, which appeared to store everything you need for the Toshiba Sat Pro M30. Sadly, all it did was displaying the "loading circle", no matter which section I've tried to access (e.g. "manuals" or "drivers", etc.).
    Next, I hit up the forums and read about an "archive", in which drivers and other utilities for older, outdated notebooks are available. Unfortunately, said section wasn't to be found at all.
    Also, my googling efforts didn't get me anywhere.
    Could someone tell me what I've have to do to get a hold of these drivers or, in case there ain't such an option, upload me the pack of those drivers (like e.g. on Megaupload.com)?
    I'd be forever indebted to this certain someone.
    Thanks in advance!

    I finally got it now. This is fantastic! Thanks a bunch!
    Well, it might be a bit too hard for someone to associate "Product type" with something like "Archive" and that's why many people don't see it.
    Back then, when I clicked "Production type" to choose from its list, I didn't even saw "Archive", cause "Notebook" hit my eye right away.
    Maybe they should make it clearer/more obvious. Just my 2 cents.
    Nevertheless, I found it in the end due to the help of you guys. Thank you so much for it!

  • Re: Is Satellite L300D provided with recovery disk?

    Hi,
    I do not get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know If Satellite L300D is provided with recovery disk?
    As far as i know computers manufactured from mid 2007 are no longer provided with recovery disks for the operating system. How do I know what year my satellite is manufactured?
    Many thanks

    All new notebook models including your one are delivered without recovery DVD.
    Recovery image is saved on second partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
    Akuma is right. You must create recovery media using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". The shortcut you can find on the desktop. Please do this and for recovery media creation I recommend you to use high quality DVD-R media like TDK or Verbatim.
    You can install OS using F8 button at start up. The guideline how to do this you can find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Please note. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install other operating system on first partition. the second partition can be in original state but this F8 option will be gone.
    If you have more questions please let me know.

  • Satellite C50-A-19T - recovery disks not working

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19T laptop with OS windows 8.1
    Recently my laptop had booting problems so i contacted toshiba support and they told me to get recovery disk from backupmedia.toshiba.eu and i ordered the disk and it arrived today#
    When i enter the recovery disk and boot from the disk drive (ODD) it brings the windows logo then after a minute it goes to a blank screen and i waited and after a while it was still a blank screen
    I had already went into the BIOS to change the settings to boot from the CD but even after that the same problem persists
    Please help

    Hi
    Go to BIOS and disable the option called: secure boot
    Now you should be able to boot from the ODD.
    By the way: please check if the HDD is listed on the first BIOS page (name, size, etc)
    In case the HDD details are not visible, the HDD isnt recognized by BIOS this could be related to HDD malfunction.
