because i'm using an Australian model of toshiba notebook PSAGCA. the u.s model for A300 is PSAGCE/ and that is the BIOS i actually updated mine with.
I don't have plug n play in my bios and i think that if i could find the appropriate update for my bios the new 7 would work..
Satellite A300 PSAGCA 03C010(U.s version is PSAGCE)
i need the bios for mine

Do you how i could enable the Ata mode in Sata? is there any program that i have to download and install a driver for it? I'm saying this because i saw in google, many have the same issue and enabled the ATA mode in sata and the problem was solved...I don't have ATA...i have compatibility and AHCI mode in sata...
what is ata? can i get it?

Ok hi..it's been a few months and i'm back....
i still couldn't get Windows 7 to work ofcourse...
i think i found what the problem is.....
I just installed Windows Xp....and i forget to set bios sata mode to compatibility mode....In the end of the install xp crashed with a blue screen...but when i set it to compatibility mode in bios, it worked...and i have also tried it another way to identify ofcourse, booting will still result into bluescreen for xp ofcourse without compatibility in bios....The same happened to me when installing Windows 7, Ahci somehow was supported well for Windows 7.When i get the configuration error THEN boot, i actually get a blue screen(crash BSOD)......i think i have to update my ahci or that i have a problem with the plug and play...
I did run a System health report which windows calls "Generate health report for 60seconds" and this is the error that i got for the plug and play devices were 2 out of 100 passes.

Imtiaz, I'm new here and I haven't read all 8 pages of info so if this information is repetative I apologize but you might want to try running the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...e-advisor.aspx

and you might run some searches on your hardware for Win 7 compatibility at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/com...s/default.aspx

Unfortunately neither are perfect. I personally was disappointed that neither realized my old trusty trackball of over 15 years is not fully compatible (I can no longer use the middle button). Logitech support told me it is no longer supported {tears}.
