DVD - RAM drive on a Satellite Pro M40 with MS Vista Business

Hello
I updated my MS Vista operating system now that it has been launched. Everything works fine, except on my CD player. I've not managed to get a driver so can't read music and DVDs.

I would appreciate any advice you can offer with this.

Kind regards
Mike

Snipe is just that you won't find any Toshiba Vista drivers for the CD/DVD drive.
Toshiba does not provide XP drivers for the CD/DVD drive and I m sure that it will not provide these drivers in the future.

Fact is the operating system simply uses the Microsoft OS drivers and you n t need to install special drivers designed for an ODD.

If the drive was already recognized in vista you only need a special application to play music or DVD

  • Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since the installation of Vista

    I did a clean install on my new Vista Ready M7. He had XP tablet in a first time, and the DVD player worked fine. In fact I used to install Vista (Home Premium).

    Now it doesn't work at all. It runs but does not read. Device Manager tells me impossible to start the device. Tried to update driver and he told me that he has the most uptodate pilot.

    Downloaded all the drivers from the Download Center of Tosh for upgrade of Vista of M7 (who got bluetooth, rotation etc. function properly the screen). But none of the downloads seems to be a driver for the DVD - Ram drive. He cannot find a driver anywhere else (including the Panasonic site).
    DVD player is Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841 s

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
    Have you tried to install the XP driver DVD-RAM since the Toshiba page on the Vista operating system?

    Maybe it'll market

    But listening the CD/DVD drive uses the current Microsoft drivers that are included in Vista or XP.
    This is why an additional driver should not be necessary!

    An additional proposal;
    Remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop.
    After restarting again the OS should reinstall the drive and renew the software.

    Another tip:
    -Launch the registry
    -Choose the registry key;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    -In the right pane, click UpperFilters and LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
    -Reboot the laptop

    Using the detached part number, I found specification for Satellite Pro C50. It has DVD SuperMulti player.
    Of course you can use it to record all your important data to blank media such as CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW.

    I put t know what burning software is installed originally. Check it out and test functionality.
    Of course, you can delete the system and install your favorite burning application.

  • Satellite Pro M40: Can't watch DVD-> DVD region code locked

    Hello

    I know this has been asked before, but there must be a solution...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M40 with a CARPET * a DVD UJ - 841S drive. I used my 5 times to change regions, and now I'm stuck on NTSC. I read on this forum (and others) that it is simply not possible to unlock the region once the 5 times have exhausted.

    Is it possible to copy the DVD (film) on my hard drive and watch it then?
    There must be a way!

    Any information would be great, thanks.
    See you soon,.
    Matt Savage

    Hello

    As mentioned it of not possible to unlock the DVD player on a legal way.
    Of course, I found many sites that suggest that it of possible to unlock the firmware flash drive.
    But believe me; It is not desirable and very risky!
    You may damage the disc and then you can not read or burn CD or DVD media!

    I put t know if it is possible to copy the DVD to the HDD in a simple way. I never did.
    But it of possible to reduce the DVD to the smaller size, then copy it to the HARD drive.
    For this procedure, I used DVD shrink. You can check.

  • Satellite Pro M40: HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    I recently bought a new hard drive for my satellite pro m40 like my old man, we broke up I put the hard drive in the machine properly and it's the same speed, size etc, but the laptop does not recognize it at all.

    I tried to swap back to the old hard drive and he acknowledges, the news is a number of slightly different model a new the original is mk6022gax and original is mk6026gax. the two 60 GB, I am told. Please help me if you can.

    Thank you.

    Hi Ollie,

    The only reason I can think is that the new hard drive is may not be configured correctly for your laptop. I know that some Toshiba drives are supplied as C - salt rather than the more usual master configuration, but these are normally reported as such on the nameplate.

    It is possible to change the setting of the drive (see the following URL for details) http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/p69067/jumpers.htm

    It is also possible that the new disk is defective (unlikely but it should be considered).

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro M40 recovery disk install XP on satellite or L300?

    I had a Satellite Pro M40 with XP Pro who died completely (hard drive). I have the recovery disk.

    I now have two laptops more - a satellite and a L300, both with Vista. I want to install XP on one of them (preferably the L300). Is it possible to do using my M40 recovery disk?
    A bit of googling suggests that the differences in the size of the hard disk - may be an obstacle. My M40 40 GB drive, these new drives are much larger.

    Anyone tried this or have any advice?

    It will not work. Before the start of the recovery procedure the laptop will be identified. If the recovery media doesn t code is code on the laptop, the installation will be interrupted.

    M40 MS on L300 recovery no way.

  • No sound in Satellite Pro P200 with XP

    Hi all.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200 with Windows Vista preinstalled. I removed Vista and installed Windows XP with Service Pack 2, due to the incompabilités with some software I need. Almost all of the necessary drivers for XP (even a downgrade to BIOS) was downloaded and installed from Support from Toshiba web page. But there are still two devices that I can not install. At the start of my laptop it always detect "* Microsoft UAA bus driver for high definition audio *" and "* controller memory PCI - Chip for logical Cache Flash in Intel (r) *" as new hardware and they appear marked in yellow in the Device Manager list.

    I installed the last bus Microsoft UAA for high definition audio driver for XP from Toshiba and Realtek too... a lot of time and in different ways... Previously I installed the High Definition Audio Driver Package - KB888111 from Microsoft. But I still have no sound.

    PCI memory controller - Intel(r) Flash Cache Logic Chip: the same... tried the drivers the most recent Toshiba one Intel too. Toshiba technical support told me that this unit is ready to run on Vista and have suggested me to try with Robson drivers for Vista Support from Toshiba's web page, but that didn't work either.

    I googled a lot, searched this forum and called technical support, as I said, but I've not found a way to solve these problems. Really, I can't believe I bought a laptop that only works with Windows Vista, I resist assume this idea, so I continue to try and try to make it work properly with the operating system that I need and I have chosen freely.

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    You're on right way boyfriend, you must also install another patch MS; KB835221
    So finally the KB888111 and KB835221 must be installed before you will follow with the audio driver installation.

Toshiba technical support told me that this unit is ready to run on Vista and have suggested me to try with Robson drivers for Vista Support from Toshiba's web page, but that didn't work either.

    The problem is that this unit only works in Vista.
    The controller memory PCI is that intel Turbo Memory, also called Intel Flash cache logic chip also called device Robson.
    It's quite new technology designed to support the new features of Vista.
    There is not driver for it for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the function of cache, it is supported by Vista.

  • Satellite Pro M40: Files on DVD/CD not visible

    If data are burned to DVD or CD (+ R or + RW completed another manufacturer) then inserted in my Satellite Pro M40 PC he can see folder names but he cannot see all the files in the folder. When you click on the files, he says they are empty!

    When the same disks are inserted on other devices (on DVD players connected to a TV), records show the files and files open without problem.

    Sometimes the same disc when inserted in the pc, can be detected as drive is invalid

    Audio and video disks are no problem and open immediately.

    I am at a loss because even if I backed up all my data I can't re - insert the data if I lose it.

    Hello

    There are different reasons why you CD/DVD drive doesn t manage burned CDs.
    First all CD or DVD is compatible.
    I had a lot of problems with my mediums sometimes burned the disc was able to read, sometimes, it was not possible.

    I changed the burn at a lower speed, and which has slightly improved the situation. I also changed burning software.
    Now I use the Nero burning Rom software. It s really good program.

    But the main reason for these problems is the anomaly of lens laser discs. After a long period of work of the lens cannot calibrate properly and therefore can't handle the media inserted in this case only a replacement drive helps.

  • Satellite Pro M40 RAM fit laptop model L650?

    Hello

    I recently upgraded from my Satellite Pro M40 to a L650 because the M40 is dead.
    I was wondering if I could use the ram that I put in, in the L650?

    I'm guessing it will not, but thought I'd ask just in case.

    Thank you

    Sorry, but I don t know why this combination. Max RAM on M40 is 2x1GB and I think you're in L650 2x2gb. Right?

    It makes no sense to me.
    I put t know what L650 you have exactly, but some models can be upgraded up to 8 GB, so it will be better for you to upgrade with a 4 GB of RAM L650. Part number is PA3677U-1M4G.

    By the way: there are different bus clock etc new notebook you should only use modules compatible and faster.

  • You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

    Hello

    I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

    Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

    I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

    Thank you

    Hello
    For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if this happens with all data media you use.

    In my opinion you must first locate the source of this problem. Check if your DVD - RAM drive works correctly using different CD, DVD and DVD - RAM of course. If Yes, in this case it is a problem specific, based on the game CD.

  • Satellite Pro M40, failure of the hard drive - the new disk restore disk?

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro M40 hard drive died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately, my old drive is 60Gig and the Web of Toshiba parts site has only 40 GB or 80 gig drives.

    I have problems with the recovery disk if the hard drive is not exactly the same thing?

    Your advice would be appreciated.

    C

    No, he should t be any problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    On the recovery CD, you'll find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and software further.
    These entire applications are packed into image files.

    You should only be sure that the HARD drive is compatible with your laptop and it will be recognized in the BIOS.
    Then simply to boot from the recovery and installation CD must start.

  • Satellite P30 - DVD-RAM drive will not write DVD

    I have a Satellite P30 - 145 running XP Home Edition with a carpet * a reader of DVD-RAM UJ - 831S. I am able to read and write CDs and read DVDs, but am unable to write DVD. In 'My Computer', the drive is marked as a DVD - RAM drive, but if I insert a DVD r or DVD R, the label changes to CD drive, and I am not able to format the drive, I just inserted.
    Clues as to what is happening and what I can do about it?

    Hello

    Since when is this problem here? Is your unit pre-installed with your own operating system or with the recovery image? DVD - RAM Driver Software V3.1.0.0 is also pre-installed correctly? Burning application you are using?

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, reboot the device and check if the drive is recognized correctly again. As far as I know that your device comes with fixed burner DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) and you should be able to create all formats.

    What is DVD format?
