• Equium A100-027 - failed to start the game - problem with NVidia

  First of all, sorry I had no idea where to post this.

  Basically, I was downloading a game and I got a message saying "running low on disk space delete some programs".
  I had no idea what half of it was then I deleted things that I don't use.
  NVIDIA resembled something I don't use.

  So I deleted it and my screen became tense and it seems that I blew it.
  Then I accidentally restarted my laptop - so I lost all my game downloads.

  Then when loading again once I got a prompt saying to insert a disc video controller.
  I don't have anything, and so I chose 'I did not - find another soloution. If windows me was asking for help from Toshiba.

  I guess I have to download NVIDIA and the correct version I had, which again, I have no idea.

  Maybe I'm wrong? I need something!

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hello

  Maybe you could tell me what model of phone you have?

  > So I deleted it and my screen became tense and it seems that I blew it.
  Yes, it seems you muddled everything

  > So when load once again I had a saying invite to insert a disc video controller.
  I don t know what this could mean but eventually the graphic card driver is necessary and that's why I recommend you visit Toshiba's European disk page, choose your phone model and to download and install the graphics driver.

• SMART hard disk attributes failed and writing error reading disk

  Hello

  I bought the HP touchsmart tm2 - 2150ca in 2010. So far, everything was fine until last week, the laptop fell and the computer is not able to start. Disk-read write error is popping up. Tried to get the diagnosis of HDD makes nothing happens, is stuck in the initialization screen. Bought a new HDD for it than this one will. Only problem is I have donot have recovery discs. Is there a way I can get it? What is the procedure to get the made disk partition and install the system, hp, etc. in a different partition tools.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  You are welcome.

  First of all, about the recovery Partition, it is never established if you use a set of recovery discs HP to provide a way conveient to reinstall an OEM of Windows version - however this is not really necessary if you're creating a 'detail' to perform the installation, you can always reinstall using this option if the need arises.

  As you will be perfoming the Setup from a retail windows installation disc, this will give you the option to create a partition (use the Option on the Setup screen).  Unless you have a particular need to create customized partitions, you can leave Windows Installer for the "unallocated space" - this will automatically create a "System Partition" which is hidden and the main partition of Windows C.

  HP_TOOLS (E) partition will be created automatically by installing the UEFI diagnostic software.

• Equium A100-549 - reading disc error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete to restart

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Equium a100-549, about 3 years, Windows XP Home Edition.
  Everything worked very well so far. When starting my computer, I received the message:

  A disk read error occurred press ctrl + alt + delete
  I don't want to lose my data

  Please please I need some advice what to do

  Kind regards
  AGM

  > I don't want to lose my data

  Well. Everyone knows that a HARD disk problem can happen and all of a sudden you may lose all the data stored on the HARD drive.
  That is why it s always recommended to backup the data on additional HDD, DVD, etc.

  I'm not sure if this will help but try this:
  Try to boot from the disk Win XP (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) and press r. means repair and should start the repair console.
  The similar DOS window should open and there, you can use a command:
  CHKDSK drive/p/r

  The chkdsk command checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it.

  If that does not help, then you need to reinstall new OS.

  Yes. It is possible to upgrade your Equium up to 2 GB, but you must use compatible memory modules.
  Module 1 GB compatible for your old Equium has PA3411U-1M1G part number.

• Equium A100-549 4 GB memory?

  Hello

  I have a Tosh Equium A100 - 549 (PSAA4E). It's getting a little old now, but still a good machine, I've read various reports on what is max memory to this laptop.

  I bought 2 x 2 GB 200 pin SODIMM PC2-5300 (667), but when I install the laptop does not start. I get the power and keyboard LED and the fan but not the screen output.

  If I mix a former modules with a new 2 GB 512 MB (in order any Bank) then the laptop works, even if I get only 1.87 GB display in XP Home Ed.

  Took me to update to the latest version of the BIOS but still the same thing.

  Is it more a case of 2 GB not supported or is it the speed? I need 2 x 2 GB PC2 - 4200?

  Thanx

  Hi mate,

  the machine does not support the def. more than 2 GB of RAM. You must use no to 667 and 533 Mhz modules.

  That's all ;)

• Equium A100-549: UK keyboard button game problem using OS language NL

  Hi all

  I have a bit of a problem, I can not solve my self.
  I have a toshiba Equium A100 549 and changed operating system from XP home to XP home NL UK.
  I did format all HARD disks because of Mayor virus problems.

  I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
  I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

  I woul want to set them like they belong on the way in which toshiba set them, with the same 3min.from on the keys...

  What do I do? Thanks in advance,

  Michel Hoff,
  Holland

  > I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
  > I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

  The point is that you have installed windows OS in the language of the Netherlands, but the laptop uses the UK keyboard layout.
  Therefore, change to a different language keyboard layout if the keyboard is set to the language of the Netherlands, then you should change this to English UK!

  Go to control panel-> regional and Language Options-> languages-> text services and input languages tab, click details

  There you can add or change the language

• Equium A100-549: DVD & CD playback is slow and jerky

  Hello!
  DVD and CD playback is jerky and slow (sound and image). This problem occurred out of the blue! One day was playing very well and the next, when we tried to play a DVD is a different problem. I put the other DVD that plays very well the night before, but without success - it wasn't the DVD in particular. I tried the audio CD I played before and to my disappointment the same problem. I ripped a CD on my laptop and it played very well - it is not the sound card. I used a lens cleaner, but it did not work.

  I run Toshiba Diagnostics, no problem. I even scanned the HD and defrag, nothing - so I doubt there is a problem with Windows. Problem with two media players, windows one and the Nero one - is not due to lack of players. I drop the phone or hit him or spilled something on it. And this problem really happened from one day to the other. I had all the windows and driver updates two weeks before the problem occurred, by paying in the meantime several DVDs and a few CDs with no problems. What should I do?

  Fortunately, the laptop is still under warranty, but I would prefer if there is a way to fix at home, because services of take time...

  Laptop: Equium A100-549 CM360

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  I hope that your device to factory settings and not your own installation of the OS. You didn't write what CDs and DVDs you use, but I hope that use you the original one.

  Before you play DVD movie try at first to end all unnecessary process and stop the antivirus application if you have one. RedHawk is just, but I'm sure that DMA setting is standard by factory settings.

• Equium A100 - 306 PSAABE - cannot start and the error of the BIOS

  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-306, which does not go beyond the BIOS screen. Last thing I did was delete the second partition on the hard drive and the boot configuration Winodws via DVD. Then he stopped display

  If I hit ESC on the post screen, I get a screen that says this: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/Medabot_Metabee/BIOS_ERR.jpg

  Ive read that theres a method of emergency crisis of flashing, is possible to run it on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  This looks like a malfunction of the motherboard, you can enter in the setup of the BIOS for example? If Yes, load default settings then save & exit it.

  If you can t get into BIOS try remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then connect the two again and try to start your laptop.

  He starts correctly now?

• Equium A100-147: I get an error during the recovery procedure

  Hi again,

  I had trouble with my equium a100-147.
  I tried a restore, but the disc is scratched so I phoned in ESL and it snet me a new recovery image.

  I tried the new recovery disk and am now errors when I boot the disk.

  error is

  "internal error crc file: \WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB895200$\msdtctm.dl.

  any suggestions are welcome. get really annoyed with my machine as my warranty expired only one month

  Thank you

  Hmm... I studied a bit and it looks a bit like a malfunction of the partition.
  It would be desirable to boot from the original CD of Microsoft XP and to start the repair console.
  Then you could try these various commands which help to repair the boot manager, repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information.

  -fixboot
  -fixmbr
  -bootcfg /rebuild
  -chkdsk /r

  If this does not help, you should erase the entire partitions and must format the HARD drive in NTFS file system. Then access the BIOS and set it to the default value.
  Once this procedure tries to start again on the new recovery CD!

  Good bye

  Step 2. Go to the "Realtek HD Audio Driver" and run the setup.exe program to complete the installation.

  Step 3. Click next/OK/OK to proceed. If the Windows context menu "Digital Signature not found" message, press Yes to continue the installation.

  Step 4. Finally, select to restart the system and press [finish] to complete the installation.

  The system will reload the drivers and make some adjustments in the INF file if necessary.

  Deep delete the driver follow this: _

  Step 1. Go to Start\Settings\Control Panel.

  Step 2. Select the Add/Remove Programs icon.

  Step 3. Select "Realtek HD Audio Drivers" and press the Change/Remove button.

  Step 4. Click next/OK/OK to complete the uninstall.

  Step 5. At the end of the procedure, select to restart the system, and then press Finish to complete the uninstall.

  A new motherboard is a part of portable more expensive so buying a new motherboard is always a costly affair.
