  You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.

  But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

• Load Windows XP from external DVD drive

  Replaced the hard drive on laptop. DVD drive does not work on the laptop. How to install windows XP from an external DVD drive hard disk new?

  You must change the boot order in the BIOS of your computer.

  The boot order is order this computer tries to start from, for example, it can check the internal DVD first, then if there is nothing in there, go to the hard drive.

  You need to plug in your external DVD drive (it's probably USB).

  Then go into the BIOS setup - search for boot order and move the external DVD drive to the top of the boot list, so this is the first device to be "started" from.

  Then restart your laptop and then it should boot from the external DVD drive, which probably contains the installation media for Windows XP (DVD/CD).

• ENVY of HP dv6-7246us SSD Upgrade, problem Windows 7 installation with boot from a usb/dvd drive.

  Hi all

  I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you

  Robert

  Hi, Robert:

  Go you into the BIOS and change in legacy Mode?

  I think that you need to do in order to boot from another device other than the hard drive.

• I don't have a 93 years old goat needs to answer. I want to buy an external dvd drive, but don't know which is compatible with Windows XP, any help would be appreciated

  I don't have a DVD player on my computer, check the Net tells me tht I would need an external DVD drive that must be compatible with my computer which is Windows XP. I'm pretty stupid on computers and since I'm home linked to diabetic neuropathy, a broken femur that stands with 4 screws a nd a replacement hip and you tell the truth, I don't know what allI must tell you as I said I'm stupid on computers. Please let me know what else, or how I can find something else that you need. Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
  and DVDs and not just play).

  A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

  Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
  or the FRY.

  This is good, but there are many good brands.

• Dynadock U with USB powered external DVD drive

  Toshiba dynadock U PA3575A-1PRP
  Iomega superslim DVD 31785700 dvdrw8x-u
  ASUS U36J laptop Windows 7 64 bit
  latest updates for Windows and installed Dynadock

  Hi, this external DVD drive has 2 USB connectors (data and power) and no power supply.
  The dynadock has alternating current.
  When I connect the DVD directly to 2 USB ports on the laptop, it works.
  When I connect an external hard drive to the Dynadock USB powered it works
  When I connect the Iomega DVD drive to the dynadock, it doesn't work and I get an error message "power surge on hub port."

  I tested a second dynadock and DVD player (same model) and the same problem occurs.
  I also tested all of the USB ports on the dynadock, front and rear.
  I looked online for limitations on the dynadock, but found none.

  I look forward to any constructive suggestions or information.

  Hello micjam,

  the Iomega DVD drive also not functioning, it is linked to the dynadock?
  No mouse, keyboard or other usb devices?

  Have you tried plugging the dynadock to a different usb port on your computer?

  Perhaps there is an update of the bios available for your computer.

• Satellite A660 - do not find external DVD drive

  Hey guys. Newbie displaying in total despair of and needing help! I posted in other forums without success. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.

  I can't get Windows 7 to find! When I plug in the USB cable, the ball comes up to say that it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then he falls. It is not listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in disk management or my devices, so it is not a case to change the drive letter - I can't find the drive to change. I also tried to find upper and lower settings in regedit. Could not find them so couldn't remove them as suggested in other posts of this nature.

  It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are very good. Its got to be a cause of problem of Windows 7 it comes very briefly. In the minute or 2 sound, I can't do anything with it. It crashes right although it will open and close. I've google it and can't find anything. Mainly of registry issues, but they did not help.

  Ive also connected to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works very well and all the cables are ok. Ive tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also disabled all the parameters of energy. All with no luck. And I also all Windows 7 update.

  This is exactly what happens to the power out of the Cabinet.

  1. I connect the USB cord then turn on the enclosure.
  2 - I quickly click Start, and I can see the DVD Rom E player beside my computer laptop dvd rom.
  3 - the green bar above starts to fill to the top, from left to right and gets to half way then suddenly disappears icon of DVD Rom and makes the green bar.
  4. He then flashes up in computers laptops DVD Rom icon with a player of Local E drive, but only for a fraction of a second.
  5. sometimes a balloon comes up saying peripheral installation, then the installed device successfully... but not every time.

  And that's all. I'm at a total loss and the cant work, so any help is really appreciated!

  Hi Smee,

  So if you have already connected the external hard drive on another computer, and it worked correctly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility between your external DVD drive problem and and your Satellite A660

  It will be connected to the port USB then you tried to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager? After that, you must restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized automatically from the Device Manager. In addition, I would also try updating the chipset driver. New version, which you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

  Hello

  > * 1 *-I want to use in the car for playing DVDs in the back seat. Can I use the Toshiba external dvd drive?

  No, you can't attach an external CD/DVD drive to the AC100.
  The USB port supports the external USB HDD (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) and a memory flash USB (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) for copying data.

  > * 2-* is there a car charging/adapter plug or anything like that?
  Yes, google for cigarette lighter Thrive AT100. Otherwise, you can order part comatibel of ASP in your country.

  > * 3 *-my stereo bluetooth, USB and ipod has access to-what options there are to store & playing music on the Tablet via these

  Take a look in the Android market and search of HiFi Android app.
  But as far as I know if you want to stream music from tablet to sorrows, both must be connected to the same network.

  > * 4 *-wifi is possible? I already connected it to a wireless modem; would need a modem separated in the car?
  AT100 supports LAN wireless

  But just after a few seconds, she told me to '1 support recovery' and open the drive in the laptop. Tried to insert the disc - nothing, like its not inserted, tried to disable computers portable cd - nothing please help

  Hello

  You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
  Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
  Press F12.

  Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

  In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

• Satellite M30 - restore the external DVD drive

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the drive DVD internal Multi - replacement will take a month or two to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I connected an external DVD drive to the machine. When I start the machine starts on the restore CD but seems so looking for a Player X, I get the following messages displayed on the screen of the BACK:

  Device name: TOSCD001
  Number of units: 1

  CDR101: Not ready reading drive X
  Quit, retry, fail?

  Insert the recovery CD #1!

  What should I do?

  Kind regards
  Sameer

  Hello Sammer

  Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used as internal drive only. I put t think you will be able to use it with an external device. On the restore CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to fix it for use with an external device.

• External DVD drive no longer recognized

  I have been using an external DVD drive for HP for years. About 2 months ago I finally exchanged my tragically old iMac for a recent model directly on the Apple Store and have been using the DVD player with it successfully. I do not use the everyday player, but I use it regularly.

  Last night, I put a DVD in the drive, and it worked fine. Later, I got another in the drive and nothing. The drive spins up and down constantly, but the Finder does not recognize anything. Any DVD doesn't appear in the sidebar or on the desktop, the DVD player application does not start. There is simply nothing.

  When it happened first, I removed the disc that would not play and put in the previous drive who previously worked. It worked again, so I leave the app, ejected Disc #1 and put the #2 drive in. #2 drive still does not work and has no other disk since. Not #1, not disk #2 disk, no disc worked. I tried to put in an old OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD just to see if the iMac would recognize it, but it's not.

  I tried to disconnect & reconnect the drive by connecting the drive directly to the iMac instead of in the USB hub, restarted the iMac with a DVD in the drive, etc., but nothing works. System Profiler recognizes not that the player is even when it has a disk in it and turning. Disk utility does not recognize anything.

  I did not perform any software updates or any setting between replace disc #1 Disc #2. Something that worked a minute literally stopped working and I have no idea why.

  While it is true that the DVD player can have mechanical problems, I don't think so and I have no way to test this because I don't have another computer I can plug the drive in. And really, it sounds like a software problem. The drive does not sound hard, or anything like that. I think that the drive reads discs, but the iMac just does not see any longer, so the reader just guard spinning up and down, waiting to be recognized.

  Apologies if other threads have taken into account this. I searched, but I have not found any matches.

  Please make a LANDAU and SMC reset by iMac SMC and PRAM reset and then test again.

• I'll be able to use the external dvd drive on microsoft surface?

  I like really the surface so far and I was wondering if I'll be able to use an external dvd drive on the surface because there only 1 usb port.

  Yes.

  You can attach an external USB hub or port replicator and connect USB devices to one. And, if connected to the network, you can use the DVD player on any other computer network with any active permissinns and sharing.

• Activation XP with external hard drive?

  I don't know where to post this question.

  I have many PXI-8196 systems in the field which boot from an external SCSI drive (for security reasons). I've configured initially them by creating a disk image of the internal HD (with XP already installed) on the SCSI disk and then removing the internal disks. Now, we want to upgrade the processors with the PXI-8108 s, without losing any settings/files currently on SCSI drives.

  When I pass a PXI-8196 with a PXI-8108 and have it boot from the SCSI, it recognizes of course XP runs on different hardward and pushes me to activate Windows.  All fail to perform the activation of MS because MS does not recognize the installation ID. My understanding is that this is because that NEITHER (an OEM) manages XP license differently, somehow involving a code written in the BIOS.

  Short of having to save all the files from the user to the SCSI, create a new image (from internal HD of the 8108) on SCSI and then reinstall all applications on the SCSI, is there another way to accomplish what I'm doing?

  Ken

  Peter,

  Thanks for the reply.

  Your response prompted me to check a few more things and I was finally able to make it work.  The 8108 is came with a Vista product key code (even if we bought with XP), who did not work for XP on the SCSI boot disk, if I had tried to use the product key, I read (using a utility of the decryption key) on the factory installed 8108 HD, but that no longer works. I found that all my boxes PXI (8187, 8196 and 8108) report the same product key to decryption utility, so I thought it must be a problem.  When I used a XP product key on the label of the chassis, which worked and allowed me to register.

  All is well now.

  Thank you

  Ken
