Windows XP installation on Satellite U300

I need to downgrade my notebook from vista to XP pro. After slipstreaming the new sata drivers into XP I installed windows xp.
After installing all the drivers (and chipset drivers) i have two questionmarks left. (other devices)
I realy don't have any idea what these two devices are.
When I look in the device manager it shows
- devices instance id :ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&0
and the other device shows:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_444E&SUBSYS_444E8086&REV_01\4&23F 5EDAD&0&00E0
Any suggestions? And/or new drivers for wxp?

Hi
One question:
Did you install all XP drivers as mentioned in the Installation instruction??
The installation instruction can be found on the Toshiba driver page. You have to follow the installation order.
By the way; the ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&0 seem to be an Toshiba HDD shock protection driver.
In my opinion you could find it in the HDD Protection Utility.
However, the installation instruction should be cheeked and you should follow it!

Windows XP installation on Satellite L300 11G

Hello,
I have a problem installing windows XP on my Toshiba Satellite L300 11G.
It does not recognize the SATA HDD. SO I downloaded the files that were needed (Intel Storage....) and then I get an error: iaStor is corrupted. I am pretty new in computing so I do not know if I downloaded the right thing. Please if someone could guide me trough and give me a link to download the correct file.
And does that message come only if I fail in choosing the correct driver when asked?? Or is there something else I am doing wrong...??
Please help. I am trying to fix this for several days, and I bought my laptop a few days ago and I need it for business. I would appreciate your help a lot.
Thanks.

Come on buddy... Please dont mix everything!!!
*_Regarding the Toshiba Vista Recovery CD:_*
If you want to create the Toshiba Vista Recovery DVD and want to burn the preinstalled Toshiba image on a DVD then use the Recovery Disc Creator tool.
And YES, the user manual contains the info how to do this because Ive checked it and found the needed info!!!
*_Regarding the new XP installation_*
If you want to install the XP OS on this notebook, then you have to include the SATA driver like described by Gipsyman above!!!
The XP OS installation will format the HDD or partition and will erase the installed operating system.
Therefore it would be advisable and recommended to create the Toshiba recovery DVD firstly before installing the XP.
I think this should be clear.

Windows 7 Installation on Satellite L70-B-126

Hello,
I recently bought a new Satellite L70-B-126 laptop computer, that shipped with Win8.1 preinstalled.
However, quite a few of the programs I regularly use do not work on any OS newer than Win7, so I decided I wanted to make my PC dual-bootable, with Win8.1 and Win7.
I have bought a Win7 license key way back when they could still be obtained officially, and ave downloaded an ISO file, from which installation media (DVD or USB drive) can be created.
How should I go about installing Windows 7 on this computer, to create a mlti-boot setup with pre-installed Windows 8.1?
Markus Gelbmann

First of all you need to create additional partition on the HDD for Win 7 installation.
Additionally you would need to disable the secure boot option in BIOS because in case the secure boot option isn’t disabled, you will not be able to boot from external sources.
The BIOS mode should be also set from UEFI to CSM mode

Windows 7 installation on Satellite C55-A-1HN

Hi
Hope someone can help me. I bought a Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1HN laptop which has Windows 8 on and Im wanting to put Windows 7 on the laptop but keep getting a error saying checking media fail then booting back to Windows 8.
I want Windows 7 on cause I cant get away with Windows 8.
Ty for reading this

Hello
At first you must check if your notebook model is supported for Win7 and if Win7 drivers, tools and utilities are offered for download.
Check it please on Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Before you do anything create recovery media using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. It will be Win8 recovery media. One day if you want to have original factory settings again use this disc for recovery image installation. After recovery media creation you can start with Win7 OS installation.
How to do this check please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1JM possible?

Thanks for reading my topic.
I have bought a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JM and I cannot install Windows 7 on it.
I upgraded BIOS to V1.30 still after that, I have only the option Secure Boot to disable or enable
There's no option to switch to CSM or legacy, as I know this MUST be done before I can install Windows 7.
Is there any chance to install a Win7 on this Laptop?
Thanks
Elmar

Thank you, yes, you are right, there are really no drivers to download.
With a modified USB-stick
[http://www.com-magazin.de/praxis/windows-7/windows-7-uefi-pc-installieren-7531.html?page=4_setup-stick-fuer-uefi-pcs-erstellen]
I got the laptop started to installation process, but shortly after loading files there always approaches a red stripe at the top of the laptop and windows installation freezes.
It doesnt matter, if it is installed from the usb oder from original MS DVD, same error, same freeze
So, no chance to downgrade - then I will send it back.
Thank you!
Elmar

Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1JT

Hi everyone,
I've bought a brand new Sattelite C50-A-1JT PSCJGE from Romania with no OS.
First i've tried for about a day to install Windows 7 and it won't boot, neither on DVD neither on USB, only Windows 8, but after i've searched about it, i found out that i have to change my bios settings from UEFI to CSM Boot and disable Secue Boot.
NOT A CHANCE. Intead of a normal BIOS i only have Toshiba Setup Utility and i have only the Boot Order option and Secure Boot, that didn't helped me.
I thought that my BIOS is out-dated (1.10)
So went to the Toshiba Website and searched for an BIOS Update and the only one was this:
[BIOS 1.30-WIN for Satellite C55-A, Satellite C50-A|http://www.toshiba.com.ro/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?LNG=27&service=SE&selC ategory=2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=793 4&selShortMod=4628&language=47&selOS=46&selType=4& yearupload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&m ode=allMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&count ry=all&selectedLanguage=47&type=4&page=1&ID=90346& OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42]
...but unafortunatelly, it isn't available.
So, i there any chance to have Windows 7 on this laptop?... 'cause i hate 8

Many Win8 machines are supported for Win7 so, generally speaking, you should not have some big problems. As you already wrote you must at first change BIOS settings - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
After doing this restart your notebook and press F12. When boot menu is shown on the screen put Win7 installation disc into optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD as first bootable device and press ENTER. ODD should start to read Win7 installation disc and setup will be shown on the screen.
On this way I have installed Win7 on my Satellite U940.
Please try again and post some feedback.

How to disable SATA settings on Satellite U300

How can I disable SATA setting to install Windows XPon another partition Satellite U300?
Email: [[email protected]]

Not all notebooks support such mode in the BIOS.
Possibly the U300 doesnt include such options in the BIOS and therefore you will need to include the SATA drivers into the Win OS disk if you would like to install such OS.
The SATA drivers are a part of Intel Matrix Strange Manger and you should find in ether on the Toshiba driver page or Intel page.
I used nLite to include such SATA files into the Win XP.
Bye

Satellite U300-159 - Bluescreen after Windows 7 installation

Satellite U300-159. I made a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Since upgrading it has bluescreen at every startup after aprox 1 min. Bluescreen ***STOP: 0x000000f4. The computer restart it self after a moment.
I checked memory with 2 different programs. No errors. HDD checked - no errors.
Tried to update BIOS but get errorcode 1275 using Toshibe updateprogram.
Anybody have any ideas what to do?

Hey,
Im a little bit confused about your posting First you wrote that you made clean installation and then you wrote something about an upgrade
Whats true?
Anyway, do you notice the bluescreen in safe mode too? If not it seems to be a driver issue because in safe mode no drivers will be loaded.

Satellite U300-130 - TosBtMng has stopped working after Nokia PC Suite installation

I've got the same problem too... with Toshiba Satellite U300-130.
Bluetooth had worked pretty well before I installed Nokia PC Suite for my mobile on my PC (the newest version 7.1.26.0 from website).
To be correct, at first I even managed to maintain a Bluetooth connection between PC and Nokia and ran syncronisation of contacts. I made several attempts but each time syncronisation run ended with message "PC coudn't get answer from your Nokia".
After rebooting, my PC went crazy and started issuing message "TosBtMng has stopped working" and it restarted every time I ask it to close.
Installation of new version of BT Stack (6.40) didn't fix this error.
Please help

Hi there
I answered an existing thread with the same problem, but no-one can help apparently.
Anyway,,, I can at least help you with getting rid of the looping setup. You need to rename the directory with the Toshiba bluetooth stack.
I also have Nokia syncing and it worked fine until recently. - I have to say I think the problem relates to a Windows auto upgrade.
How to solve this is a different matter. At this moment I have given up. The Toshiba bluetooth stack disabled.

Re: Satellite L30D - Low screen resolution after Windows 7 installation

I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite L30D. Since this installation, I cannot have a better resolkuton than 1024x768.*It was much better with Windows Vista.
I have downloaded the latest ATI driver. No effect. I cannot find the Catalyst Control Center as well. What can I do?

Hi
The Satellite L30D isnt known to me...
Do you mean Satellite L30 or Satellite L300D?
Normally you have to install the display driver if you want to use higher screen resolutions but check the specifications of your internal display first. Maybe the native screen resolution is 1024x768 and you cant use a higher one.
You can download all drivers for your notebook on the Toshiba website!!! Dont use the drivers from ATI directly, they are not designed for mobile chips.

Satellite P35-S6112 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

I installed Windows 7 on this Satellite P35-S6112 with a Realtek AC97 sound card in it. The card and drivers are working but there is no volume. I can hear sound with a headset very faint. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, attempted update but I have the current drivers installed.
Troubleshooting has been done and system reports no issues. I am in desparate need of help here as my daughter needs this for her college as her other notebook is in the shop. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have checked US support page and this old notebook is not supported for WIN7 so Im glad to hear you have installed Win7 successfully.
If the sound card driver is installed properly I dont understand what do you mean with there is no volume. Can you use speakers symbol in task bar and change speakers sound level?
Click also on speakers symbol and open Playback devices. Can you set Speakers to be default device?
Which OS have you used before Win7 installation? Have you noticed the same problem?

Satellite U300 & Windows XP Pro SP2

Hi,
I've installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on U300, I've downloaded all drivers and utilities, everything works fine but I have one device in the Device Manager with Yellow Bang (!) and it's: "PCI Memory Controller".
Where can I get the driver fir it?
Thanks,
Moshe.

Hi Neil,
After doing some research, I found the solution.
U300 contains "Intel Turbo Memory 1GB" (Robson) which use to accelerate
HDD I\O and battery saving, this is actually a hardware card on the PCIe bus.
The problem is that this feature is supported only under Windows Vista... and since
we're using Windows XP all we have to do is just to disable it in the hardware manager.
Regards,
Moshe.

Satellite U300-111 - Which Windows 7 version you can recommend?

Hello everyone!
I have a friend with a Toshiba Satellite U300-111, and she wants to install Win7 on it.
Since it's got a T7100 processor, I'm thinking she could install 64bit version, but it seems like there are far fewer supported drivers compared to the 32bit.
Do you recommend her going for 32 or 64?
Thanks for any answers :)
Link to the PC if you need: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=129981&tab=2#2

Hi
Yes, for older notebooks you have a better driver support on 32bit OS because 64bit OS is only necessary if you have 4GB RAM or more installed. Otherwise you can only use 3.2GB RAM.
So if you have more less RAM I would recommend the 32bit version. :)

Satellite P300-1CE - Microphone doesn't work after Windows 7 installation

Hi everyone.
At the beginning I'm sorry for my bad english so I will say shortly.
A few days ago I removed a few programs, and I installed the new operating system Windows 7. All over it I had to download new drivers of the camera, because they didn't work. After downloading drivers of the camera, the camera became operative (YEAH!), but later I worked out that for me a built-in microphone was out of order. What can be of it with cause and what driver to download and why microphone don't work?
I can't speak with friends on skype ;( Help me. I hope you know what I say.

Hello
Did you really install all drivers after Windows 7 installation? Maybe you have forgotton something and so it doesnt work.
Microphone is a part of webcam so make sure that webcam driver is installed properly and sound driver you need as well.
After this check the sound settings. Make sure that Microphone is enabled and test it again with enabled microphone boost.

Satellite P300 - Microphone doesn't work after Windows 7 installation

Hi,
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 on my Satellite P300. The built in microphone was fine with Vista but does not now work with Windows 7.
I've tried going to the sound section and it does not list the built in mike - just the jacks. Can anyone help?
Thanks
James

Hi
Maybe you didnt install the driver for the microphone?! Therefore you have to install the webcam driver because the microphone is a part of it. You can get it here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
After this it should be possible to use the internal microphone.
By the way: Which application you use for the internal microphone? Skype or something else?
