Satellite Pro P300 - How to obtain the factory image without media?

Hello
I have been given a Satellite Pro P300 and it has the recovery disc for win xp, I would like to go back to the pre installed Vista intallation if possible.
The recover partition on the hard drive isnt available so i assume it cant be recovered. Is it possible to purchase a factory image?

Liam is right Win 7 is better than Vista OS.
So if you have a possibility to install Win 7 I recommend doing this instead of Vista.
However, the Toshiba recovery disk contain just Vista OS.

Satellite Pro P300 - unable to activate the inbuilt microphone

I purchased a Satellite Pro P300 some 2 months ago and to date all is well.
It has a webcam which I really thought I would not have any use for it but now find that I have.
The camera works fine but I am unable to activate the inbuilt microphone.
Can someone point me in the right direction please

Hi
You have to start the webcam software if you want to use the internal mic too.
The point is that the internal microphone is connected with the internal webcam and the webcam software controls the both devices.
Please check also if the internal mic was enabled in the webcamsoftware correctly
Furthermore I would recommend updating the sound driver.
Best regards

Satellite Pro A120: How to remove the CD/DVD drive

I have 2 main problems and can't seems to fully open case.
Does anyone know how to remove the dvd-rom?
But my mainproblem is the power swith ribbon (blue) has come loose from the motherboard. But as i can't fully open the case im using tweezers to try to recconect it.
Doesn't seem to want to go in.
Is there a clip on the motherboard connector or is it just push in? A photo or diagram would be useful.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

One question; why do you do this?
I mean why your want to open the notebook?
Fact is that the Pro A120 Satellite is not a old notebook and I presume the warranty is valid.
If you remove the notebook covers you will lose the warranty!!!
The CD/DVD removing is very easy.
Usually it is secured with one screw which can be found at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove it firstly and then it should be able to take off the ODD.

Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
Thanks

Hi
This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

Satellite Pro M40 - How to wipe the system to new

I am having a lot of trouble with my Satellite Pro M40.
When wanting to click in to the various files an error message comes up and asks me to send an error report. I think i may need to wipe the system to new. Does anyone know how to do this? I dont have the disks that I orgianlly got with the laptop to do this.
Thanks :D

As you know to open various files you need to use various software. So it will be interesting to know which kind of files you try to open. If you know exactly which software can not be started I recommend you to reinstall it in hope it will work again.
Please think about it at first. If you still want to make clean operating system installation please write again. We will find a way to help you. ;)

Satellite Pro M30 - how to recover the data?

I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Sat Pro M30 running XP Pro, just after the In Touch with Toshiba screen.
Using the Revovery DVD that came with the computer when purchased and entering advanced mode I'm trying to use check local Image File. It doesn't seem to find any Image file. Is it possible to recover or rebuild image file?
There are some data I would like to recover from the HD so I'm trying to avoid reinstalling the system until I've recovered the files.
Have tried to read from the HD using a cabinette and a new NP running Vista but it didn't work. Is there a general problem reading a XP HD from VISTA?
Any suggestions how to recover the data would be very much appreciated!
Johan

cabinette ? Do you mean "USB Hard Disk Caddy" ?
To recover your data, you can connect the HDD using a USB Adapter to another PC running XP or Vista. The drive should show up as a Drive letter (such as E: Drive), and you will be able to copy the files.
When you say "but it didn't work", what was the problem exactly?

Satellite Pro L20: How to intsall the Office applications from recovery CD?

I have just received my new laptop and I am supposed to have XP Pro when all is on my laptop is Microsoft Note.
It does state that XP Pro is loaded but I cannot find outlook, word, p/point, excel etc all the applications that come with XPpro.
Can anyone tell me how I load them on from my laptop? The only disk i received from Tosh is a recovery disk which does not have any mention of XP or XP pro only MS OneNote
HELP would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
PT

Hello
The applications that you want to have are definitely not a part of WXP operating system. They are part of Microsoft OFFICE application package. It must be separately installed and it is not a part of Toshiba software.
Please clarify this with your local dealer.

Satellite Pro 4290: How to solve the IDE #1 error issue

I have recently aquired a DVD-ROM drive to upgrade my Sat Pro 4290 optical drive from a CD-ROM to DVD-ROM. As suspected I am having the problem that the drive is not recognised and get the IDE #1 error.
I can get windows XP to recognise the drive by deleting the Secondary IDE Channel in the Hardware and then searching for new new hardware. It then installs the IDE Channel and then finds and installs the DVD-ROM and works fine. I reboot the laptop and back to square one!
I understand it is something to do with the settings on the motherboard and somebody has resolved this by soldering pins to different places on theh IDE connectors.
I do not want to risk this and was wondering if anybody found an easier way of doing this?
Many Thanks

Hi
> I understand it is something to do with the settings on the motherboard and somebody has resolved this by soldering pins to different places on the IDE connectors.
Thats not 100% true. This is not a setting issue on the motherboard but the setting of the CD/DVD drive.
The drive supports different master\slave\c-sel settings and if they are not compatible the BIOS will not recognize the drive correctly.
On the external drives (for desktop PC) its possible to change such settings by switching the jumper but this is not possible to the slim notebooks drives.
The notebook drives settings are stored in the firmware!!
I found different not legal tools which can change the master/slave/c-sel settings but I would not recommend using it.
The risks are too high that the drive will be damage.
So try to replace the drive with a compatible one

Satellite Pro P300 - HDMI output port doesn't fit

Hello All,
Well this is starting to drive me to distraction and Im hoping theres someone who can put me out my missery lol.
I have been trying to hook my laptop (toshiba satellite pro p300) up to my LCD TV via the same HDMI cable I use for my PS3 but the connector just wont fit. I keep finding all these posts in various forums saying how they cant get sound out the HDMI connection...that would be great, as at least that means they have them connected.
Are there different connections for HDMI? The one I have is diagonal connector but the port on the laptop is more square, and just doesnt fit. So if there isnt a connector, does that mean I have a funky port, on the laptop.
There is also the matter of connection my laptop to my amp that controls the surround sound system. What connection is best to use, as there is no real audio out connections?
Cheers

Hi
Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro P300 you have exactly? I mean the exact model number.
Maybe you can also post a picture of the HDMI port. Normally there are no different HDMI ports, all have the same physical dimension.
Im not PS3 owner but maybe it has a special connector. Have you tried another cable?
Regarding the audio connection I use the normal line out port for my external speakers. Did you test this?

Satellite Pro P300-26U - Can I use a second HDD?

Satellite P300 family support raid0 and double HDD. All model? User manual of 26U don't say any word about this. Model like P300-1BP has double HDD.
Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.
Thanks.
Guido

Hi
The Satellite P300 series doesnt support RAID!
There is NO RAID controller on the motherboard.
But you are right; the Satellite Pro P300-BP supports 2 HDDs but this does not meant that it would support RAID!
Furthermore you should know that P300 series supports different hardware specifications.
This means that not all P300 would be able to use 2 HDDs!!!
It could be possible that Satellite Pro P300-26U is not able to use 2 HDDs even though the Satellite Pro P300-BP support 2 HDDs.

Satellite Pro P300 has just died on me

Hi,
Yesterday my Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC1E) simply died on me...no battery charging lights nothing. Nothing happens when I press the ON button it is DEAD.
The battery was ok last time used, the adapter is still giving me nearly 20volts.
I took the laptop apart to check the DC in connector, thats ok.
I assume after some research its a motherboard fault. Typically my warranty ran out 2 months ago!!
Cost of a new replacement motherboard so far quoted is 180, not too eager to spend that as I have a tax bill to pay at the end of this month!
Any ideas to what the problem could be?
I have found a mobo on eBay which is a p300-1a8 going for a song but would that be compatible?
What are all the variations in the motherboards?
Would any other motherboard be compatible?
Any ideas, suggestions would be much appreciated and I thank anyone in advance for any ideas.
Cheers
Steve

Yes and no.
You can also imagine that different P300 notebooks have also different ports. Some of them have HDMI some probably not. There is also the difference.
Different ports, different processor or different graphic card. Maybe some models don't have even webcam and missing controller on motherboard.
So, if you want to have identical hardware configuration please be sure you use motherboard with the same model number.

Satellite Pro P300-1CG wakes up from sleep mode when unplug USB mouse

I often transport my laptop from one working place to another.
Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
However every time I unplug the USB mouse - the laptop wakes up and I have to put it into sleep again.
This is annoying. Is there any way to set up laptop _not_ to wake up on USB activity?
I didn't find any option in power settings of Vista, neither in BIOS.
My BIOS is up to date (just updated, but didn't help).
I use Windows Vista Business on Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG.

Hi
> Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
Why you dont unplug the USB mouse firstly and then put the notebook into the sleep mode?
This would solve your issue ;)
From my knowledge the BIOS provides only the options: Wake-up on keyboard and Wake up on LAN.
There are no options for Wake up on USB and therefore such settings cannot be changed...
Cheers

Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - Webcam driver open fail on Windows 7

I've installed the RC of Windows 7 64 Bit on my Satellite Pro P300-PSPC5E and I'm experiencing problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.
I've tried to install the camera assistant software, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I keep getting an error with 'Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.' neither of a camera or computer restart work. I do get picture in Skype but I can not edit settings or so (dark picture) and the microphone is way more silent then it was on windows XP, although it's set on the maximum sound.
Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

Hi
I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there are no official drivers for Windows 7 available.
You have already tried the Windows Vista driver so thats all what you can do. Alternative you visit the Toshiba US page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for Windows 7 beta driver. Maybe it works.
Good luck! :)

Recovery CD for XP in combination with dual HDD on Satellite Pro P300

On my Satellite Pro P300 there are two harddisks, both 160 GB.
At the moment Windows Vista Business is installed, as it was preinstalled.
On the first disk there are 3 partitions, one EISA-partition, one Vista boot-partition and one partition for HHDRecovery (contains image for Vista Product Recovery).
In Vista there is an option for Complete PC Backup. This provides the possibility to completely restore Vista to the situation at the time of the backup.
I made a Full PC Backup of the complete first hard drive (3 partitions) and saved it on the second harddrive.
Now I want to use the provided Toshiba Product Recovery for Windows XP to install Windows XP on the laptop.
I assume that the first harddrive will be completely overwritten, but I am not sure if the second drive will also be overwritten.
Does anybody know if my data on the second drive will be lost when i use the Product Recovery for XP?
I would like to preserve the data on the second drive, because it gives me the option to restore the laptop to the situation with Vista without reinstalling/activating all applications.
Also all my personal files are on that drive.

Normally it would be no problem to temporarily remove the second harddisk.
But I am not sure if my warranty will be void after that; the machine is only a few weeks old.
If the warranty is still valid after removing and reinstalling the second harddisk, I will try that option.
I just wonder if anybody knows for a fact that it does not write the second harddisk.
As you said, I also assume that it will not write the second harddisk, but I just want to be sure.
