• For Satellite Pro M70-220 laptop cooling pad

  I want to buy a block of cooling for my laptop Satellite Pro M70-220 (PSM75E) and would appreciate advice and recommendations on the most appropriate cooling pad. Plateau broken down to use the desktop, rather that the tower would use.

  The dimensions of the base of the laptop are about 34.5 cm (W) x 24 cm (P) - (or 13.5 ins (W) x 9.5 ins (D)).

  The laptop has 2 vents in fan - a vent is located on the left side (half back) of the laptop, and other the vent is located on the left side of the base in line with the side wind. Subject to correction, I feel that the cold air is sucked through the vent base and is blown through the vent on the left side. If that is correct, then I guess the cooling pad fan would blow air on the basis of the laptop, thus completing the airflow of the computer laptop cooling fan.

  Thank you

  Hi Alan

  Before starting to discuss cooling pad, I want to ask you why you need. I have Satellite M70-159 and have never even think to buy this extra part.

  Have you ever watched on the net and found something that may be good enough for you?

• Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

  Hello

  The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

  Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

  Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrejs

  Hi Andrew

  > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
  I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
  This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

  I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
  To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
  In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
  So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

  I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
  HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
  HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2188B-> 80 GB
  HITACHI G8C0000Z610-> 60 GB
  HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2183-> 60 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2184-> 60 GB

  I hope this might help you a little!

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

  Hello world

  Help me!! I'm looking for driver for BACK Bios M70. Does not exist, only for windows and my cell phone is dead.

  Sorry, but I don't see another option for traditional BIOS.

• For Satellite Pro M70-220 port replicator

• General driver pack for Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76)

  Hello

  Thanks in advance
  Thorsten Cu

  Hi Thorsten,

  I agree with Joey. Depends on what you want to do.
  On the Toshiba page, you will get all drivers and Toshiba tools & utilities that are preinstalled on the laptop. Generally, you have all the files to use all the features of the laptop.

  As far as I know the laptop was supplied with recovery CD, but you have an option to create a driver CD & own tools. You will find in the help of Toshiba (on the desktop) under protection & fix this feature (Create drivers & Tools CD)

  Installing the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD will also install all the drivers and tools that are needed. I think it's a better way to install the OS on the laptop

• Need to drive recovery for Satellite Pro M70

  My recovery for my M70 disk was broken (don't ask!) and I'm in serious need to restore my laptop. Any help out there?

  Hello

  He damage of s that you damage the recovery disc. But maybe you can order a new of the ASP (certified partner) in your country.
  I said maybe, because I m not leaving of course if the recovery for Sat M70 disc is available because the recovery disk for older models of laptop could be interrupted.

  However, I think you should contact the ASP in your country for more details
  If this recovery would be available then an ASP should be able to order it from Toshiba

  See you soon

• HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

  Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

  The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

  PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
  PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

  You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

  All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
  Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

  I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
  Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB
  Number of discs: 2
  Number of Heads: 4

  Hello

  I've never heard of the Microsoft kernel DLS synthesizer and that's why I studied a bit.

  I found this MS developer site:
  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa940369.aspx

  It is said:
  The component of the Microsoft kernel DLS synthesizer provides the port of DMusic, content class miniport driver in the dmusic.sys file

  It seems that most of the problems with this kernel occur due to lack of SP2.
  If you have installed Windows XP you need to update the operating system to the State.
  All service packages must be installed!

• Re: How to use Recovery Expert Mode in Satellite Pro M70-220 product recovery CD

  I would appreciate advice on the following points.

  My Satellite Pro M70-220 (PSM75E-00D008G3), portable computer has 4 partitions created by Acronis Disk Director costume v9:

  C: OS - Win XP Pro SP3
  D: programs
  E: data & downloads
  F: backups

  After you start the laptop in Win XP, I inserted the recovery CD Toshiba in the DVD - RAM drive
  and sailed to the BMP file, R:\G_INST\BMP, where I found the file "menu.bmp", which gives 2 recovery
  Options:

  * 1. Retrieve entire hard drive *.
  Caveat. All data stored o your computer will be lost.
  Preinstalled software factory will be installed.

  * 2. Recovery expert Mode WARNING: *.
  This is for PC experts only.
  Preinstalled software factory can be installed on an existing partition.

  My questions are linked using the "Recovery Expert" Mode:
  -I'll be able to use the "recovery of the Expert Mode' the recovery CD to reinstall Win XP Pro (pre-installed software factory) on my C: partition, while affecting only not partitions D, E & F?
  -I'll be able to format the C: partition by using the "Expert recovery" Mode, without formatting of other partitions?
  -What is the exact procedure of "Expert Recovery Mode"?
  -where can I find more information on the procedure of "Expert Recovery Mode"?

  Thank you

  AlanCB

  > I'll be able to use the "recovery of the Expert Mode' the recovery CD to reinstall Win XP Pro (pre-installed software factory) on my C: partition, while affecting only not partitions D, E & F

  Yes, this should be possible. Using the Expert Mode of recovery, you should get the ghost window where you can select the partition where the OS is to be installed. In this case only that partition would be formatted.

  > will it be possible to format the C: partition by using the "Expert recovery" Mode, without formatting of other partitions?

  Yes, theoretically it should be possible.

  > what is the exact procedure of "Expert Mode of recovery"?
  As I mentioned above, this mode allows you to restore the operating system on a partition of some and only this partition will be formatted.

  > where can I find more information on the procedure of "Expert Mode of recovery"?
  What looking here in the forum?

• Satellite Pro M70-220 - how to start the Advanced Boot Menu

  Which key have to press on my Satellite Pro M70 - 220 starting Win XP, in order to enter the "Advanced Start Menu" - in other words, the menu that gives various boot options, such as safe, last good start Congiguration, start Windows Normal Mode, etc. ?

  On my old laptop Satellite 5105 - S702, it was the F8 key, but by pressing the F8 key on my M70 Pro does not bring up the 'Start Advanced Menu".

  The Advanced Start Menu came on its own a few days previously after an abnormal stop, so it seems that it does not exist on the M70 Pro.

  Thanks for any advice anyone has to offer.

  AlanCB

  Hello

  The Advanced Boot Menu can be reached by pressing the F8 key.
  It s a Windows menu basic and it s any laptop it is.
  It should work on all computers.

  Maybe you can not activate the Start Menu advanced because the Windows operating system is confused upward.

• Driver LAN for Satellite Pro L20 Windows 2000

  I am looking for a local network (ethernet) drive to my Satellite Pro L20, who has Windows 2000 on it.
  I found one for WiFi, but not for the Ethernet (cable/CAT).

  Hello

  Well, you can t find all the LAN for Win2000 drivers on the Toshiba page because this unit has been delivered and tested with the Windows Xp operating system.
  However, I found the information that the appliance has a CL LAN Realtek 8100.
  In this case, I guess for visit the site Web of Realtek. You can find a compatible driver for this network adapter.

• Updates the drivers & utilities for Satellite Pro M70 (PSM75)

  How do you know if there are any updates available for the Toshiba drivers and utilities provided with my Satellite Pro M70 (PSM75), the Date of Production - January 27, 2006, and which are in the folder Toolscd (C:\ ToolsCD) on my laptop?

  Is there an update Service that recommend updates available for download?

  I checked the list of available downloads on the download page of the site of Toshiba UK ([http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK]), for the satellite Pro M70 (PSM75) and compared the version numbers of downloads, against the same drivers & Utilities version numbers in the file Toolscd (C:\) ToolsCD) on my laptop (IE in the XML TVersion files), and they are exactly the same, even for 16 drivers and utilities with a "Date last modified" on January 17, 2006 or newer (with new - August 1, 2008)

  The only real update which seems to be offered as a download, is the update of the BIOS v1.50 - WIN (in the BIOS downloads), with a 'last modified Date' of August 7, 2007, for which there is no equivalent in the Toolscd folder.

  Thank you

  AlanCB

  You can also check this page for the latest updates, as appropriate:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

  I don't think that there is any tool, which continues to tell you that there are new updates available. For Windows, it is clear, that you can use the Windows Update feature. It has some function implemented tools can look for hardware drivers too.
  But for the rest, just keep on visiting the above mentioned page from time to time.

  In any case, if your computer works fine, you will not need any update.

• The update of the BIOS for Satellite Pro M70 does support TPM?

  Hello

  There was an update of the bios that is specially designed for Vista... = bios-vista - 510win.zip on the Toshiba site...

  Although my Satellite Pro M70-113 did not support the default TPM module (BIOS verson 1.1, I always have this), is it possible that this update includes the TPM secure to enable bitlocker on vista?

  Can someone check and confirm please... :)

  And secondly, is configuration BIOS update for Windows utility saves the current state of the BIOS in some external as backup media, while if it happens with the process of update... the previous version can be restored in return?

  And a BIOS may be downgraded?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  (1.) I m not 100% sure but I think the new BIOS for the M70 does not support the TPM secure. I read somewhere that all BIOS versions that support TPM on Toshiba laptops cannot be updated by a common user, but the user must contact the authorized Toshiba service provider for these updates.
  That's why I think that Toshiba would not any BIOPS version by download issue if this BIOS would support the TPM.

  2.) now something about the second question:
  The new BIOS version replaces the old BIOS and BIOS States and to my knowledge it of not possible to save the settings for a backup more later.
  Generally, you must be careful with any update of the BIOS. Bad BIOS or bad update procedure may damage the jury!
