Windows XP on Satellite Pro 4310

Are there any issues in installing Windows XP Pro on a Satellite Pro 4310, currently running Windows 2000? The Toshiba download site has no drivers for this OS and model (except a BIOS upgrade).

Hi
This unit is about five years old and old units are not supported for latest operating systems. Because of that you will not be able to find any driver or tool designed by Toshiba but maybe on hardware producer download page.
If you want to install WXP I recommend you to use max RAM (320 MB). Install WXP and later you can see which hardware components are not recognized properly.

How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1A9?

Hi!,
first of all, sorry if I'm asking something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this issues...also sorry for my English, I'm not native.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9 with Windows Vista preinstalled but the thing is I prefer Windows XP. I have tried to install it but it won't work.
I have read lots of posts and comments about this issue in this forum and also in the web. The problem is I don't know if the procedure and the drivers to download are the same for all the L300 models. Mine is L300 1A9.
Anyone could give me some extra simply instructions (I'm a beginner) about how to do solve this problem or any link relating this issue? I have seen many of them, but none about this model L300 1A9.
Thank you very much!!

Hi Lars_3,
thank you very much for your reply and interest.
When I say that installing Windows XP doesn't work, I mean that my laptop has Windows Vista but I have tried to reinitialized (format) it to install Windows XP, but when I run the Windows XP (original) disk an error message pops up and I can't continue the installation.
I have had a look to the Toshiba's downloads link you posted, but there's no mention to the L series model. The options available are for M-Series and Net-Book series, so I wonder if it is possible to use one of them for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9?
Thank you very much for your kind help!

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
thanks.

Hi buddy,
Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

Can't install windows XP on Satellite Pro A200-1N2

hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. i downgraded the bios to V5.30 But still can't install windows xp and from the bios still there is no optin for SATA.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Hi
Did you install the SATA drivers firstly?
You need this driver to recognize the HDD!
You should download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it either on the Toshiba driver page or on the Intel website.
You must perform the installation from an external USB FDD drive using the F6 button while the Win XP setup.

Installing Windows ME on Satellite Pro L20

I need to setup windows millennium on my new laptop, but when it starts (during the setup process) to search for devices it crushes and just halt.
What can I do? I tried to update BIOS but still the same after.

I really dont know what you can do but I really dont understood why you buy the newest notebook designed for latest operating system available on the market and then try to use older OS. I hope that you know that there is no support for older OS.
In my opinion the much better and cheaper option is to buy second hand notebook and install older operating system. With more Ram the older unit will run fantastic.
The second problem are the drivers and Toshiba tools that will work well with ME. Where you want to find them? On the official Toshiba download page you will not find them.
Anyway, good luck and hope that someone has already try to install the ME on the same unit.
Bye

Re: How to install Windows 8.1 on new Satellite Pro C50?

I've just purchased a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50 which came with Windows 7 Pre-installed.
Upon starting the system for the first time, I simply shut it down and put the Windows 8.1 Media in the Optical Drive (disk 1 of 4) and then went into the recovery wizard, and may have chosen the wrong option, as I completely wiped the hard drive and partitions.
Now that I've done that, I cannot find the way to install the Windows 8.1 Pro Media from the 4 DVDs provided. I cannot find the correct option to do this. I've changed the boot option in the system settings by pressing F2 upon boot, so it reads from the DVD drive. The DVD starts up but then takes me into a system recovery area, which is no good as I've completely wiped the system.
How can I just simply now install the provided Windows 8.1 Pro onto the clean system now?
Thanks for any advice.

At first I would like to know which notebook model do you have exactly. If possible please post the whole model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check specification for this notebook model.
Have you bought this notebook model as brand new product and originally boxed?
Anyway, if you have original recovery installation discs for it you should be able to install it without some problems. Start your notebook and press F12 to enter boot menu. When this menu wil be shown on the screen, put disc 1 into optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD drive in menu and press ENTER.
ODD should start to read disc and recovery wizard will be shown o the screen. Choose option to install out-of-box/factory settings and just follow menu on the screen.

No sound on Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista

Hi
I have had to reinstall my Vista operating system and rebuild my A120 Satellite Pro from the revovery disk.
Most things are fine but I cant get any sound from the speakers of headphine jack.
I have checked andit says that the Realtek High Definition Sound Driver is installed and working correctly.
My volume buttons are up high on the mixer and on Windows Media Player.
The driver is Realtek 6.0.1.5317
Help would be much appreciatesd

Nothing through the speakers, nothing via the headphone socket. Volume bar goes up and down with the music as it should do when you play an audio file. Tried the Windows Vista built in driver, the Realtek ones from the Toshiba site.
Last thing to try is rebuilding to the XP support disk, making sure the volume is right at the tip and unmuted, and try reinstalling Vista again, which is tonight's job, but I'm not feeling hopeful about it. Like I said before the toshiba unmute tool didn't do anything for me.

Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

Hello,
I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
Here is what happens.
- Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
- After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
- If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanx in advance,
mme000

I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

Satellite Pro L - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 possible?

Does anyone know if the Satellite Pro Recovery disc (Vista) qualifies as a basis for upgrading to Windows 7 using a Microsoft Upgrade Edition disc? Or is the full retail new version needed?

Hi seoras,
I dont see a reason why it should be not possible...
I mean if you install Vista from Toshiba recovery disk its the same Vista as from a Microsoft disk but with all drivers and tools from Toshiba.
So just buy a Windows 7 upgrade disk that is cheaper as a full version and start the upgrade. Thats all!
If you need new drivers after Windows 7 installation, just check the Toshiba website. On this page you can find all downloads for your notebook.

Need to reinstall windows but don't have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home onto my Satellite Pro L20, but don't have any of the software my laptop came with (read lost the disks). I have a valid XP home key (as its stuck on the bottom of my laptop) but no disc so I tired using a copy of a Windows XP home cd, which didn't work, but did let me get as far as formatting the hard drive.
So right now I'm using Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key but no software to reinstall.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Christopher

Are you kidding now?
Do you understand English or what?
I will try to be clear enough and constructive too in hope you will understand your situation.
Some facts for you:
- Recovery image *CANNOT* be downloaded
- Following link http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com >Support & Downloads you can find all drivers, tools and utilities for your notebook model
So back to your situation:
For clean OS installation you have *_two_* options only:
- if possible order new copy by Toshiba authorized service provider in your country *do you have more questions about that?*
- you can install operating system using Microsoft installations CD *if you don't have it, it is your problem*
Can you please tell me if all this is clear now?
If you have more questions please ask.

Satellite Pro A200 - Can't install Windows 7 due missing CD/DVD driver

Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A200, PSAE4E-046018N5 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I can't pass from step one because it doesn't found a driver:
A message box saying: A required CD/DVD drive devise driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
-What to do?
CD-ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA, the actual driver have version 6.0.6002.18005 (date:2006-06-21)
Best regards

Hi Peter,
Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.

Win 8.1 Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A

I would suggest you to use some disk checking tool and see if the reading/writing of data is working fine from all the disks.
If its fine then you should talk to Toshiba Support on this.

Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - freezes after sleep/hibernate

I have a Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE running dual boot Windows XP/7
Using Windows 7 - either 32 or 64 - the system always freezes after sleep/hibernate.
This never happens with XP which sleeps and hibernates OK..
There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
I like System 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate I will revert to XP.

Hi
> There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
Sorry mate but you are wrong.
All Win 7 drivers for Satellite Pro A210 are released on the Toshiba European driver page I recommend checking it again
Since this issue does not appear using Win XP, I can say for sure that this has nothing to do with the hardware but its a software related issue
I recommend updating the graphic card driver
Furthermore there is a new BIOS for Sat Pro A210 PSAFHEits v2.0
Check if you are using the latest version

Satellite Pro A200: Windows cannot find WLan

Something's wrong with my laptop, I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with XP Pro SP3...
When I try to search for wireless networks using Microsofts program, it can't find anything, but TOSHIBA's ConfigFree can.
You probably say, that well use Toshiba's software then - that's not possible, cause ConfigFree supports only WEP keys, but most of Wireless keys used here are WEP-TSK or something - not supported by ConfigFree.
How can I make my Microsoft Windows to detect Wireless routers?

I knew it, but I just had to make sure.
I shall never install SP3 again.
To all people, DO NOT INSTALL SP3!!
Unless you don't have it allready preinstalled, in that case, it won't do any harm.
Case closed.
