XP installation problem on Satellite U300

I'm trying to dual boot my U300 11v with XP and Vista...
I've got 2 50gig partitions, one for XP and one for Vista, Vista is installed no problem.
Now with XP, I've got the correct SATA drivers from F6flpy and it find the drive, I leave the drive as it is (ie dont format or partition etc) but then I still get a prompt to insert the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, even though the fd is still in the drive.....
How do I get past this?
I've also downloaded nLite but how do I integrate the SATA drivers? Is it as easy as pointing the software to the correct driver....?
Thanks
Phil

Hi buddy, nice to hear that youve reached the point where you wanted to get. I agree that XP is so much faster, it needs not so much resources and the security etc.. is the same like Vista.
Even the design can be adjusted by custom themes or whatever. :D
So, have fun and nice weekend

OS installation problem with Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

Hi all.
So I have been given a laptop by my firiend to fix. Now what he has told me is this. He was playing a game and the laptop froze. He held down the power button and restarted the laptop. Upon restarting the laptop it said windows recovered from a serious error. After this he could log back onto his computer. So he used the toshiba restore cd but this only fixed the problem for a short while.
Now when he gave it to me I booted it and as it tried to load vista it says there a missing file: wdsuti.dll and i got an ErrorCode:0x3E7. I looked this error up and from there I formatted the drive and tried a fresh install of vista.
Vista installed fine to the point where it asks for a restart as soon as it restarted it failed to load again.
Now I've tried other disc's like the XP disc I ahve to install XP and then use the vista upgrade disc but the same thing happens.
At the moment im trying another installation of vista. It has installed vista but is running very very slow and took forever to install. Upon its first boot it crashed and came up with this error message:
Windows Failed To Start
file: windows\system32\config\system
status: 0xc00000e9
Now Im stumped with a PC im fine as I can take the parts out and swap them etc.
My guess the hard drive is dying.
Am I right or could it be another problem?
Any help would be much appriciated.
EDIT: Also to note I did reset the BIOS to default settings and I am now currently running Windows memory diagnostics tool.

Hi Richard
I agree with you and think it can be because of hard disc. I have had similar problem on my old Satellite notebook. Suddenly the notebook was slower and slower. I was able to install OS but after short time I have noticed the same.
I have checked HDD and there were so many defective sectors. I presume the same situation is with this notebook. To avoid service try to obtain some used HDD for test purposes.
Sorry but I do not have other idea what you can do.

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.

Satellite L750 - drivers installation problem

Hello good people of the internet,
I have a problem with drivers' updates/installation on my Satellite L750-1E3, Windows 7-64 bit.
When I launch the installer, it decompresses, telling me it will launch afterwards, but then the window closes and nothing further happens.
I've read about the same problem one person here had with the L855-10P series but, maybe because I'm a girl or maybe because I'm not a native English speaker, I didn't uderstand what to do...
I actually have problem with more things.
My webcam stopped working, when I try to launch it I get the error message that tells me "the initialization went wrong, restart your webcam or computer".
So I tried to reinstall the driver but the problem I described above appeared.
The same driver installation problem appeared when Tempro told me to update my blu-ray driver (I download all the drivers from eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
And the last one, for about a month there are problems with the sound on my notebook.
First cracking of sound and then it stops working completely and I have to restart the computer.
Again, I tried to reinstall the sound drivers.
There are two drivers on the Toshiba site, one of them reinstalled just fine but the other one (nvidia, I think) had the same problem as the other drivers.
Someone please tell me what to do, because I am becaoming really desperate and I seriously considered throwing my notebook out of the window.
Thank you

Usually the HDD recovery is the easiest to get the notebooks factory settings and to get it running again.
>My webcam stopped working, when I try to launch it I get the error message that tells me "the initialization went wrong, restart your webcam or computer". So I tried to reinstall the driver but the problem I described above appeared..
Its interesting to know if the webcam or an unknown imagine device (probably webcam) appear in device manager. Please check this.
If the webcam isnt listed there, you should check if the webcam is enabled in BIOS.
To access the BIOS press F2. Then go to Advanced tab -> System configuration -> webcam
If the webcam is enabled in BIOS but still not recognized and not listed in device manager, then you should recover the notebook to factory setting to check if the webcam module isnt faulty.
>The same driver installation problem appeared when Tempro told me to update my blu-ray driver (I download all the drivers from eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
The Blu-ray player update works only for notebook equipped with blu-ray drive. If your notebook does not support blu-ray drive

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 connected to TV - Non supported video format

I am using Toshiba Satellite U300-15q and it has a vga output so i bought a cable and a box that transfers te analogue signal of vga to digital of hdmi so that i can connect it to my 32' TV Sony make.
But if i connect it it says on the tv in yellow letters non supported video format.
Why is that and how can i fix it ?

In the whole story problem is that you use third part hardware or software so this described issue has nothing to do with your Toshiba notebook or Toshiba in general.
On notebooks side is important that video signal is sent on proper way. What happen later and why this signal is not transformed correctly is matter of this box.
Which box do you use?
In my opinion you should contact manufacturer of this box and their support. They should know how it works and how to fix this.
Generally speaking, Toshiba has nothing to do with this problem.

System Restore problem on Satellite C660-115

Hello everyone,
The Satellite C660-115 my niece has a problem and I would like to make it serviceable for his Christmas.
Turning on the computer's voltage giving as final result the message: * Can not find the operating system will ", so I tried System Restore by first pressing the 0 key, and after many tests, changing the order of the boot and the other (with F2 or F12) ... But there was nothing.
From there, I realized that I could not go further without original recovery DVD from Toshiba. So I ordered last Saturday and got today Thursday. After as indicated by Toshiba (boot sequence beginning on CD drive), the system begins to upload (Windows is loading files ...) and then propose, on a nice table, the available languages, and choose .. .dropoff window
If, until then, everything seemed to unfold as it should, that's that clicking the "next" button to validate my choice of language an error message appears in a dialog box named RecoGUI:
ERROR:. IOCTL_GET_DISK_LENGTH _INFO \\ \ PHYSICALDRIVE0 The device is not ready.
When I press OK, then it is in French:
The hard disk # 0 is not available or incorrect RAID configuration!
I still presses OK (I do not have much choice) and then present the following window restoration that requires me to validate the language of the operating system to install ... French (Windows Win 7)
and states: The current size of restoration is to: Expert Mode
Again, I click OK and a warning box warns me that: All hard drives will be completely erased. Would you like to continue?
OK ... and cmd prompt appears that says (in short)
Checking for Drive V: V Drive not mounted ...
Ckecking for Drive C: ... C: unmounted!
ending with: ERROR Copying of Recovery Base files failed!
Press any key to continue (if I do, I find the Toshiba screen, and another cmd prompt that says so;
Waiting for ODD To Become available ...
ODD Drive D: ready.
Check for medium in Drive D; ...
Continue ...
Drvload: Successfully loaded X: \ Windows \ inf \ battery.inf.
No RAID - Normally continues ...
Installation in progress ...
Press any key to continue ... which, if I do, then placed below:
X: \ Windows \ system32>
That's where I stayed, because I always come back to the same.
Could someone be kind enough to help me solve this problem?
A big thank you in advance ...

From my point of few we should consider two possible issues.
1) faulty image on the new recovery disk
2) problem with HDD as well as the partitions
In my opinion you should check the HDD firstly.
You can run some tests, for example you could try to install the Windows system using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (image)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit image can be downloaded here:
http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65733/X15-65733.iso
But of course, you will not be able to activate this system without a valid serial key
So you can use this image just for testing purposes.
In case the image installation would run flawlessly, your recovery installation problem might be related to the faulty recovery media.
In such case you should try to contact the recovery media provider in order to get another, new good working media.

Re: Satellite U300 - Optical drive no longer registers after prog uninstall

Hi,
I recently uninstalled a programme for a DV camera on my Satellite U300. After the uninstall, I am no longer able to use the optical drive. If I put a cd/dvd into the drive it will 'fire up' however it will not register with the laptop to enable play. I have tried diagnostics test, but it just skips past optical drive as if it was not there.
Has the uninstall also removed driver software for the optical drive and, if so, is there anyway for me to recover/download the driver without a full recovery losing all other installs on the machine?
Any advice greatly received!

Hi,
is the optical drive present in the device manager?? If so, then remove it and reboot your machine. After that the drive should be reinstalled automatically.
If not, then perform a complete registry check with some registry cleaning software.
Afterwards perform the first step.
If this does not help, then it would be better to recover your machine..
Cheers

Hi
Please ensure that the Intel Matrix Storage Manger was included into the Win XP setup.
During the installation of XP, setup will ask you to include the 3rd partly sata drivers.
Then you should press the F6 button und could include the Intel Matrix Storage Manager from the external USB FDD drive.
I have found many postings regarding this issue.

Satellite U300 - Internet Explorer 7 shuts down when closing a tab

Hello all!!
I've got a new Satellite U300 laptop and since the first day I bought it I have a problem with Internet Explorer 7 (running Vista). Whenever I close a tab it shuts down automatically.
The same thing happens when I open two IE windows.
When I close a tab in one of them, both windows shut down.
Tried and installed all updates from Microsoft, but no resolve.
Can anyone get a hint what to do?
Thnaks

Ups,
Seems like it's going to be harder than I thought... I cant't download IE7 from Microsoft webpage. It says that the browser is already installed on my machine. And since it was sold with Vista already installed on the laptop, no way to roll it back to the previous version. IE7 for WinXP won't work either! I even tried the beta 2 vesrion of IE8, but it's much worse, because it freezes every time I try to open any page!!
I don't even want to consider reinstalling the OS from recovery CD just to make IE work properly!! It's absurd! Don't want to waste time and my files. Could try using another browser but I like (or LIKED) IE!!!

Satellite U300-151 - SD card slot not working

I have the following model Toshiba Satellite (U300-151 PSU30E-074017AR ) the
SD card slot not working I install windows XP SP 3 ,& the driver is installed 100% , I need to solve this problem ...
plz chk this link:

Hello
I think on your notebook are missing some drivers.
The SM Bus Controller driver is in the chipset driver package. So try to install it and maybe it works.
The drivers you can find on the Toshiba website.
Have you installed it with a Microsoft disk? The Toshiba recovery disk creator contains all necessary drivers and tools that you need and so this would be maybe an option for you to reinstall the OS.

Do anyone knows drivers installation order for Satellite A660-11M

Do anyone knows the drivers installation order for Satellite a660-11m?
I've got some issue installing Win 7 pro (wlan do not work properly,
freezing few minutes after laptop startup, unabling to run CHKDSK on C:).
Reading this forum it seems to me these aren't new issues for Toshiba users.

Hi, friends.
I've installed the the Flash Card Support Utility. In effect, now the function keys work. ;) <img class="emoticon" border="0" alt="" />
Unfortunately it seems that problems are hard to die. The Laptop, in fact, keeps freezing, tipically but not exclusively, after resuming from suspension due to lid closing. System can stucks during windows login or after a while that user is logged on.
During these days i've discovered that SPTD.exe x64 v.1.74 (Daemon Tools) and Nod32 x64 makes impossible launching chkdsk on %SystemDrive% (countdown stucked on 1 and hdd led blinked with very short ON state). However, even without installing those, it seems that one is not able to break the countdown (that windows shows before it starts chkdsk) pressing a key.
But maybe I should open a new topic for talcking about this.

Satellite U300 - Network Connection Issues

I am having problems with my laptop's network adaptors. The laptop is not able to connect to the internet with either wired or wireless connections. I tried updating the adapter drivers but this does not resolve the issue.
In the Device Manager section under network adapters, all adapters have a yellow exclamation mark next to them and 'Device status' for all the adapters is '*This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31). Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.*'.
Also, on restarting the computer, Windows prompts me to install driver software for *Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller* and *Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN*. Every time I try to install the drivers, it fails and the error message '*Unable to open the driver specific registry key for this device*' appears. I even tried to install the Realtek Vista diagnosis tool and the program fails to initiate but produces the error message '*Please install protocol driver*'.
I tried to restore the system back to a date that I recall not having the problems but the restore fails to complete. I get an message that tells me that the restore failed.
_Drivers:_ Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller - Version on laptop: 6.227.902.2009 (I think this is the most up-to-date version)
Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN - Version on laptop: 12.4.3.9 (Current version 13.0.0.107 not installing)
Can anyone advise me on how I can resolve this issue?

Installed SANDRA and re-installed the drivers based on the information obtained from the program. Still does not resolve the issue.
The LAN drivers (according to device manager) are correctly installed and the up-to-date.
The WLAN drivers are not up-to-date. On trying to update these drivers, I get the error message '*Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it: The system cannot finf the file specified.*'
The laptop is a Satellite U300-11V.
