Satellite T230 and Windows 8 compatibility

Hello,
My Satellite T230 (PST4AE) is not listed on Windows 8 compatibility's page. Is it not compatible at all?

The Win 8 matrix lists only the notebook models which were delivered and preinstalled with Win 7 and will get Win 8 driver via Win 8 Update Assistant.
But the list does not mean that not listed notebooks are not Win 8 capable
Here is a official information from Microsoft about Windows 8 system requirements
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements
If you want to run Windows 8 on your PC, here's what it takes:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (more info)
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

Re: Satellite L855 and Windows 8 - can not adjust screen brightness

Hi everyone !
I installed Windows 8 on my Satellite L855 and it is running pretty well except that I can no more adjust screen brightness !!! I updated all the drivers for Win 8 but it didn't resolve the issue.
Hope someone can help me !! Thanks !!

Hi
Did you install the VAP (value added package) provided with Toshiba Win 8 upgrade assistant?
Its necessary and the brightness can be controlled pressing F button
F2 Decreases screen brightness
F3 Increases screen brightness

Satellite A60 and Windows XP Recovery

Hello all.
I have recently bought a second hand Satellite Notebook from a friend (slightly older Notebook- from 2004.) When booting into a virtual environment and running anti virus applications (for the memory) and diagnostic tools (Everest and Memtest etc), all hardware appears to be functional and in good order. The HDD was dead when originally bought, so I have replaced that with a new one (first replacement was faulty, but was written to initially in tests, while the second is still RAW and unused). When attempting to do an OS recovery/reinstall off the original OEM product CD (T#R-02163001 PMR400170EN1 2/2) nothing happens to begin the process (no BootCD in drive- this despite the boot order being set correctly.) The single file on the CD is a 02163001.GHS file (615,722KB) inside a TOSHIBA folder. This I would guess to be the second or more of spanned Ghost files. However the first part, which, I imagine, should be a .GHO file, for automatically starting the bootup/recovery process, is absent. Assuming the CD-ROM (definately not the optical drive) to be defective, I have attempted to purchase a replacement over the net and by phoning the local suppliers. This CD is apparently no longer available, anywhere!
Is the CD-ROM defective, based on the single file, its size and the possible missing .GHO file ?
Is it possible to still make use of the image of the .GHS file on the original product recovery CD and incorporate it to recover the machine with a new CD with an .iso file, which I could create. If so, how would I go about that?
Norton Ghost 10 cannot recognise this file type, for recovery. I have Norton Ghost 2003 too, but it is not meant to be used on an XP based machine platform. The Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 might do the job, but is $39 and I think a bit of a risky purchase. Using pirated software is not a viable option either.
Purchasing at some cost, a non-OEM, generic Windows XP PRO is probably a solution, but I would preferably like to use my original OEM CD.
If anyone knows any useful information or could provide a workaround, it would be appreciated.

Hi
You might find that you are missing the first of two recovery CD's . You will probably battle to get a replacement Product Recovery CD, as the laptop is about four years old. You could try your local ASP's or alternatively install an original generic (non OEM) Windows XP Home/ Pro CD.
Maybe other users could confirm this???
Cheers

Satellite A300 and Windows 7 - missing "Create a disk" option

Hi.
I installed windows 7 professional in my laptop A300 - 15C (PSAJ4E) two weeks ago and i have a problem.
I Installed all drivers for win 7 from the official site of toshiba and i can't see the option of "Create a disk" where i can install the firmware update.
So, my laptop hasn't install the firmware updates and it's very slow on the boot.
Any idea about this problem?

As I can see your posting is mix of three different issues but described in two sentences.
Can we please discuss about each issue separately?
At first I must say that I have installed Win7 on my Satellite A300-1LI successfully and I am happy with performance and must say that all hardware components run perfectly.
So, back to your notebook:
# What do you mean with "Create a disk" option? Maybe you think on some preinstalled Toshiba tool, I don't know exactly. The fact is that Toshiba offers many useful tools and utilities with factory settings only and such tools cannot be downloaded and installed additionally.
# Firmware update? Do you really need this? I don't think so. Have you noticed some problems with optical disc drive?
# Slow boot-up? Have you installed all listed drivers for Win7 especially chipser dtiver and storage manager? Please note that SATA settings in BIOS must be set to AHCI mode.

Satellite P300 and Windows 7 Beta..

Hey guys..
I updated the horrible Vista that my P300 came with to the new Windows 7 beta.. Most of the features are working correctly.
Here are the problems i ran into.
*HDMI* - it does work, but i lose audio via HDMI if i pause a video. If i'm on youtube and i watch a video the audio will be fine until i either pause it, rewind or fast forward the video, if i click on another video it will also stop working. This goes for any sort of video i watch on the pc.. not just youtube.. even DVD's.
To get the audio via HDMI again, i need to go to audio devices and select pc speakers as default, then chose HDMI as default again.. then it will work until i pause or skip videos again.
*Wireless Card..*
If the P300 goes into sleep mode, sometimes i will not be able to re-connect to the wireless network again. I need to reboot the P300 to get it to connect again.
I also have 4 or 5 items in the device manager that are not installed properly.. i cant list them now cause i dont have my laptop with me.
Anyone else running Windows 7 Beta?? If so do you have any issues?

Hello
We all know that Windows 7 is still as beta version on the market and official support is not started.
So to discuss about some issues on Windows 7 is for me definitely superfluously.
The drivers, tools and utilities are not available yet and if everything works well it OK, if not we must wait until Windows 7 support starts.
I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro P300 and play a little bit with it but I am not wondering if something wont work as it should.

Satellite A200 and Windows 7 64bit - How someone test it?

Has anyone test and works with it.
I have *A200 23W* with 4 gb memory, vista sp2 installed and i want to have a clear install on *windows 7 but 64bit version*.
What do you think about?

Loaded windows 7 on an A200 psace with 2gb of memory, most things are OK. video drivers initially was generic vga but after windows update the correct geoforce go driver was loaded. The flash media was not working as windows couldn't find a driver, downloaded vista driver from toshiba website which corrected problem. I have the professional version of windows 7 so I tried the xp compatibilty mode, this doesn't work, it says that the virtualization option in bios isn't enabled even though it is enabled in bios. It's ealy days yet but everything is looking fairly good, I had the beta version running for 2 or 3 months without too many problems

Satellite A300 and Windows 7 drivers

Hi
Is anybody know, when or if actually will be a drivers operative for Windows Seven for this laptop????

Hey buddy
Are you sure that you want to use Windows 7?
Dont forget that Windows 7 is only a beta version and it could include a lot of problems or something else.
I think the better solution would be Windows Vista or the older XP.
However, try to use the Windows Vista drivers that you can find on the Toshiba website or you search on external websites for drivers.
Good luck! ;)

Satellite A300 and Windows 7

Hello all. First of all i'm sorry for my poor english - I have to little practice.
Can I transfer my win Vista sp2 (x32) to Win7 (x32) on my notebook Satellite A300-1QF (?PSAGCE-06F00JRU)?
Will there any troubles with drivers/devices/something else? If it will be, are there some ways to avoid them?
I hate vista ((( wanna try vin7 )))
Thanks for helping!

>What should I do to upgrade my vista to Win7?
Best thing is to upgrade it using original Toshiba upgrade kit but I think it is not available anymore.
As far as I know you can also upgrade it using Microsoft installation disc but it can be little bit complicated because some tools and drivers must be removed from the system before upgrade installation starts.
Best way to have well working Win7 on Satellite A300 is not to make upgrade but clean Win7 installation. With other words: install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. After doing this install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities one by one from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
I have checked this page and all Toshiba stuff is available for Win7.
If you need assistance for this clean installation let us know.

Satellite M40 and Windows 7 Upgrade

I have tried to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro from XP Pro but towards the nd of the upgrade, my notebook reboots and freezes up trying to start Windows 7.
Does anybody kow how I can correct this? My system has the required disk space (55.6 GB) and memory (1GB).

Do you know how old your notebook is?
Requirements don't mean just enough space on HDD and enough RAM but also the hardware infrastructure.
Your notebook is not designed for Win7.

Satellite A200 and Windows 7 -It works!

I did an Upgrade from Windows Vista 32 Bit to Windows 7 on my Notebook Satellitte A200 PSAE6E.
No Errors and no problem with drivers. It works perfect.

Hi Mike
Thank you for this report.
Can you use all Toshiba specific tools and utilities too or you have removed some of them before you started the upgrade?

Moderator: A FAQ for Windows Compatibility forum?

Would it be possible to do a FAQ section in the Windows Compatibility forum <http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=687>? Many of the same topics are being asked repeatedly and I feel a FAQ could address most of the similar topics.
I suggest the following as topics for the FAQs:
1. Microsoft Office questions. These are not relevant to Mac and Windows compatibility and are more appropriately posted in Microsoft's discussion forums.
2. Boot Camp questions should be directed to the Boot Camp forum and Parallels questions should be directed to <http://fourms.parallels.com>.
3. The need for antivirus software for Windows when it is running on a Mac.
4. A list of links detailing how to print from a Mac to a Windows-connected printer and vice versa.

Thanks for your replies Ardian and Hardy! I'm glad to see at least the idea is supported by a few others. Maybe it will catch on.
What I find interesting is that the Windows Compatibility forum has become the dumping ground for all the "Windows" questions that don't seem to fit in the forums listed before it. You'll notice on the Forum Home page that it's at the end of the Windows Compatible Technology list. I'm sure folks are ruling out the more specific technologies such as iPod, iTunes, QuickTime, etc., and posting there when they don't know where else to post.
Windows Compatible Technology
AirPort & AirPort Express for Windows
Bonjour for Windows
Boot Camp Public Beta
iPod
iTunes for Windows
QuickTime for Windows
Windows Compatibility
Even a general FAQ link below or to the right of the the section title would be a helpful guide for folks.
I'm frustrated that more than 50% of my questions seem to be telling first time posters why their questions aren't approrpriate for the forum and which forums they should be using.

CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it. Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.
