Hello

I can't reinstall XP using the discs I have.

Help, please?

Hi gzoidensplat

Installation of Windows XP in Toshiba Recovery disk is possible with CD/DVD drive of work. So if you want to use the Toshiba disk you need to replace the CD/DVD drive first.

An alternative you can install XP without CD/DVD drive if you use a disc of Microsoft. The forum already contains a few nice comments about it and how to do it. For example, I created this:

    What program did you use?
    As far as I know, you should see the option erase this CD - RW or DVD - RW if you right click on the drive with the media. You can only erase DVD - RW but not DVD - ROM
    Please check this option.

    Hello

    If you still have recovery media please use for the installation of operating system. You can use this support at any time and it has nothing to do what HARD drive you use with your computer satellite phone.

    If you need more help with the recovery procedure please post again.

    God luck!

  • Equium A60 runs unstable - how can I upgrade the memory?

    I have a friend visit me who has an Equium A60 which is very unstable when she runs multiple applications. I checked and it has only 192 MB of RAM. Can be increased and if so how much. How many slots are there on this machine?

    She is currently in the USA and I checked on Toshiba USA website and cannot find this PC is listed, so it should only be sold in Europe. It would be useful if someone could tell me what kind of memory it takes so I could look for it here. She is a student and in great need of a stable computer for his studies.

    Thanks a lot for all the help in advance.

    Hello

    Of course you can upgrade the memory.
    I guess you have only 192 MB memory main because the laptop came with 256 MB internal memory and the 64 MB are shared by the graphics card! This is why only 192 MB are free.

    Anyway, as I said the laptop came with 256 MB internal and memory is not removable.
    So only one slot is expandable!
    If you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB)

    You can use the modules:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    Do you know where is the crack?

    The slot is placed at the bottom of the device! The cover is fixed with a screw.
    Remove this screw and you will be able to open the slot and improve memory.

    PS; I think that upgrading memory is described in the manual of Toshiba that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    Alternatively, you can download this manual from the page of Tosh

  • How to activate the resolution wide screen to external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hello

    I had an Equium A60 with an ATI Radion 7000 mobility grahpics chip in it. Earlier the LCD is dead and has decided to use an external monitor rather than replace it. However, the external monitor is a monitor 22 '' widescreen computer does not provide a display suitable for resolution. Is it possible to update the graphics driver to provide the wide screen formats. I looked on the toshiba updates, but there is nothing new there, and ATI are not ready to support offer it on a laptop.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can't choose your preferred resolution because the graphics driver does not support.
    Eventually the 3rd party driver support your favorite display resolution, but to be honest I wouldn't use these drivers because it could cause serious difficulties for laptop.
    The point is that these 3 third-party drivers are untested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore, the use is at your own risk.

  • Equium A60-152: how to change the IRQ?

    Hello!

    I have an interface audio firewire (Edirol FA-101), who is having a few problems and I think it's to with an IRQ conflict on my laptop Equium A60-152.
    When I looked in the Device Manager, I noticed that my firewire host shares IRQ 19 with several other devices (USB, Cardbus etc.).
    Is it possible that I can move my firewire host so that it runs on a separate IRQ of these other devices?

    I noticed that several numbers are not in use (18, 20, 9-11, 4-7), maybe one of them would be appropriate? Whenever I try to change the IRQ of a device in Device Manager, it is marked as "automatic settings" and I can't change that.

    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    Phil

    Hello

    Usually it s not is not necessary and not advisable to change the IRQS manually.
    The operating system controls all the settings and I guess that all the parameters of this are ok.
    Write you about some problems, but you don t say what s wrong.

    However, it is a 3rd party material and in my opinion, you will have more chance to solve the problem if you contact the manufacture of equipment support.

    Good luck.

  • How to start the recovery on Equium A60?

    Hi, I have to do a factory reset on my Equium A60, I put the cd in but cannot get it started the recovery, some can help me please? Thanks in advance

    Hi EPAs

    Turn recovery media in the CD/DVD drive and disappears. Press the power button and hold the C button. This means the unit choose CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.

    Otherwise, you can change the boot priority in the BIOS settings and set the CD/DVD device as the first.

  • Equium A60-155 died - how to change the motherboard?

    Hello

    A week ago, I used my laptop Equium A60-155, I turned it off for the night. The next morning, he lights up no battery or AC, the lights on the front of the LT do not come on either.

    I tested the AC and it is very much pushing the 14.8V.

    On another forum suggested to abolish the HD to see if that would help (it didn't).

    So it might be that the MOBOs dead (in which case I'll have to buy a new one when I get a job, or internal theers fuse who jumped (if it exists).)

    If there is an internal fuse can I replace it myself and what is? (I'm on a job and can not afford the repair costs, some charge 70 Quid to pick it up, and another Bill 110 quid + parts)

    I guess it's just a matter of undoing the screws on the bottom?

    Hello

    I suggest also to contact the ASP in your country, because he can do a diagnostic test and can give you a detailed response.
    Maybe you n t need to change the Board of Directors, and perhaps only the part low cost has a failure.
    But to find out the laptop must be verified.

  • How can I copy DVDs on the HDD on Equium A60-155

    Anyone know if I can copy DVDs to the hard drive?
    I have an Equium A60-155 and Sonic Record now and Intervideo winDVD creator on it.

    These two programs say that they allow me to copy to a blank disc, but don not say if I can copy on the hard disk.

    Hello

    sure, why not. Go to Explorer windows and do copy - paste, which should make the thing.

    Otherwise, there should be a few good programs like "Isobuster" that can do almost the same thing...
