Error reading drive A: and Toshiba companion disk for 115CS

Hi all

I recently bought a second hand 115CS Satellite, and it has windows 95 installed. I soon discovered that my computer cannot read drive a: correctly.

Whenever I try to copy/paste/etc, and on a diskette, the computer begins to read the disc, but before the end of the process I get an error message saying that the drive could not be read.

I tried to solve this problem by downloading and installing the updates of different file from Microsoft and the Internet from Toshiba sites, but nothing helped. The custom Scandisk nor any system utility which would help me. I even tried to use the new disks but I always get bad sectors a reason any.

I understand that the inability of the Satellite to read drive a: is a known issue with windows 95, and it has been discussed before. Is there a way to handle the situation outside of what I've tried so far?

Unfortunately, because I don't have the original disks that come with the laptop, I am unable to do the diagnostic test of Toshiba on my computer to trace problems. I'd highly appreciate if you tell me where a companion of Toshiba Satellite 110CS disk is available for download online.

I really need advice in the case that we care and will be very grateful for your help in regards to the reader of error messages and the accompanying disk.

Best,

Sharon.

Hello

It is a very old unit, and I can't tell you anything about the features but you must also known that there may be a mechanical problem and this player may also be defective. Who knows!

Please see the Toshiba download page choose us under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp? Download? option, select model laptop, and you can see if something useful is in the list.

Good luck!

  • My hard drive crashed and the only disk operating system that I can find is my Windows 7 upgrade disk. Can I do a full install on a blank disc of this?

    My title pretty much sums up my problem.

    I need to buy a new hard drive.  All I have is the Windows 7 upgrade disk I bought for some time.  I can the Windows 7 installed on this drive, or I have to buy a copy of Vista/XP to install and upgrade?

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • MMC has detected an error in a snap and it - will disembark for Admin tools

    Is it possible to re - install the MMC & plug-in?

    If not, I guess the next step is a Windows repair from the Vista disc?

    Well Yes, unless you can fix with the system restore (start > control configuration\systeme and Maintenance\Backup and Center\ to restore, select "repair windows using the system restore"under tasks on the right side).

  • Satellite M70-173 - fatal error - new drive HARD and recovery.

    Excuse my lack of knowledge.

    I received a Satellite M70-173.

    to turn on before charging readings - fatal error; I have to save all my data and replace the hard drive.

    I don't know if it's fixable and that's what I have to do. I also said that when you replace a HARD disk I need a recovery disk.

    I reside in Cyprus and don't have is not easy access to the shops of style PC big supermarket.

    I was wondering if I could use a generic HDD and if so is there a particular one that I need to acquire?

    Also

    where would I go to get a recovery disk?

    I got the laptop I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment and it is still in very good condition apart from the above-mentioned problems!

    I wish that all the advice on what type of HARD drive, I would need or is available - rough cost so I don't get ripped off and if we change the disk HARD is as easy as I read. Also where I should go to get a recovery disc and if that's all I need to fix the laptop.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help I can get.

    > The laptop does turn on - is it possible to make a recovery of a damaged laptop disk

    How do you do if you can't turn on the laptop?

    What you could do is to remove the HARD drive, then place it into the drive enclosure HARD 2.5 external, then connect the HARD drive to another computer, to save the data.

    In my opinion this is what you could do

  • Error reading the RAR and Cab files to Samsung HD103SI 1 TB

    Recently, I installed Win7 - 64 bit on a new Samsung HD103SI HD. However, I had the following problems:

    1 unpacking everything .rar or cab file generates an arbitrary "Volume is corrupt error". I downloaded the same file several times and repaired with WinRar, but the error persists.

    2 try to install any application or software (installation files run from the HARD drive or from a USB external), translated by Error1335 (cannot read disc source or other generic copy errors).

    3. I tried lowering the maximum memory of advanced boot, as well as the msiexec commands in the BACK, with no result. I also run Windows (for RAM) memory diagnostic in DOS mode, and did a full scan of all partitions of the HDD in Dos Mode (command/r). No problem not found in both cases. Also tried disabling firewall ESET and Windows, but mistakes always pop up.

    4. what actually WORKS is when I try to run the same files (which gave errors in the file corrupt) in safe mode. It installs (or decompress) without complaint.

    However, I can't keep coming back in safe mode whenever I need to unpack / install something on my HARD drive.  Is it a driver problem or something else in conflict?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Since it runs from USB key then is sounds like a hard drive or a hard drive problem-
    Check wiring (do not exclude what I saw wiring cause similar corruption
    Questions). Run the diagnostic test of the constructor which is much more intense than chkdsk.

    Would be a good idea to inquire about possible alternative drivers of Samsung Support and
    other options you may have. Especially if the disc is defective.

  • My hard drive, burned and my recovery disks do not work how I put Windows XP on my computer?

    My hard drive went bad... I had no time to save, but I had made the recovery discs that don't work... I need to know how to reinstall the XP operating system on my computer now? Thank you

    If you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Emachines, etc.), then the responsibility of reinstalling Windows is with the manufacturer of your computer.  Contact them and find out if you can get an installation disc.

  • notebook hard drive crashed and no OS disk when purchased...

    I have not received no XP Media disc with him as it has been pre-loaded, but I have the key on laptop computer code, how do I get an OS on try it with purchase of a new copy?  TKS in advance.

    What is the problem that leads you to believe that you need to re - install Windows?  It's a pretty drastic and often no step necessary.  If you received error messages, please indicate them in its entirety, without paraphrasing.

    As a general rule, Microsoft (that which I am not affiliated) NOT to replace or support Windows when Windows was preinstalled on a computer.

    Support for preinstalled Windows is with the computer manufacturer... which is one of the reasons why Microsoft sells these copies of manufacturers of windows at a lower price.

    you use a key OEM SLP to win 7, which requires a bios compatible win 7 for activation of the auto. 20/06/2008 bios date is well before win 7 is out.

    you will need to buy a genuine windows or return to windows, your computer comes with that.

    OEM SLP: This key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)
