If your already has a DVD player (as the specs say) then check ribbon cable that is attached to the back of the drive.  If there is an extra connector on this tablecloth, there you go.  If it doesn't have the additional connection plug, you will need to buy a new cable in water with two connectors on it.  Be sure to get what they call a tablecloth of 80 drivers.  When you install the new cable, make sure the existing device is 'Master' and the new DVD player is the "slave".

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    Hello

    Do not forget to check with your system manufacturer, the documentation online and the drivers and their
    Forums (if any).

    Your laptop should have a video which will allow to another monitor be hung and more
    the built in LCD. You then decide if you want that the monitors to display different
    programs or be used as a large screen where you can move programs from one screen
    to the other.

    Of course your system, a video camera and its drivers have to support with a 2nd monitor.

    Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
    My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

    You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

    The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
    How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

    2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

    See you soon

    > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
    Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
    You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

    But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

    With regard to the sound:
    As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
    But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.

I want to intall it butg there install the files on DVD and windows does not load it automatically. I just want my laptop to factory as it was when I bought the system.

     

    [personal information] I could not find a way to do this, please help! Thanks in advance!

    The shop obviously does not use your recovery disks to install Windows on the new drive. I had suspected that when you said that none of the original software has been installed. Recovery Manager also would have been installed.

    I would go back to the shop, with the recovery discs in hand and ask that they make a correct installation, or do the installation yourself. Put the first disk in the CD/DVD drive, and then restart the laptop. If you get a prompt to hit any key to boot from the CD/DVD, press the space bar.
