• Satellite M70-340: I don't see that the DVD absolutely menu Cup after reinstalling

  Hello
  I recently bought Toshiba M70 - 340 2 weeks. Now I learn that it is better Toshiba comparing the My.
  My question is that I don't see on the screen the DVD absolutely cut menu. First time when I opened it it was on the Ra±ght referring
  of the screen and my machine was Turkish Win XP Home edition. I have reformat and changes in the English version of Windows XP that accompanies it in Toshiba Recovery CD. But I lost the menu screen for the DVD I guess. A± now don't know how to reinstall this option.

  In addition, my machine is using the Intel Centrino 1.7, but I don't know if it is a two-way process. Second, the ram is 512 MB and I'm looking to buy 2 GB ram extened but seems still very very expensive (around $1100) why is that 2 GB of ram so expensive?

  I am using my laptop for software engineering but also using Macromedia flash and Adobe Photoshop.
  The application and MS VS.NET 2005 as long as SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to the application is very slow and sometimes it takes more than 30
  min. compile or open it.

  I have my home PC P4 3.2 G with 1 GB of ram and it is faster than my Toshibe laptop.

  Be honest with me, after a 5 years later, I bought my second computer laptop and everything first a laptop from a different manufacture.
  I'm looking on the internet and I find the M70-340 with Turkish Q keyboard was the best option and it cost me $1450.

  All I need to know how to overcome my problem and I need a Toshiba to explained to me carefully.
  Can someone read my post and answer my question and concerns?

  Thank you very much and I look forward to receiving help.

  Kind regards
  NTMS2006

  Hello

  I don t want to disappoint you, but please don t wait for someone from Toshiba will write to you because it comes to the forum user. I will try to write a few comments because I have the same unit as you.

  This DVD shortcut is really not understandable for me and I really put t know what you are writing about. If the DVD drive is recognized and installed correctly, it should be listed in the Device Manager and also shown in Windows Explorer. If you want to launch about it please describe the exact location of the DVD drive in Device Manager and Windows Explorer.

  You're right about the memory. This laptop comes with 512 MB of Ram. According to the specifications of the laptop can handle max with 2 GB of Ram and if you want to use max please use 2x1GB module. Is compatible DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G).

  2 GB modules are the latest and newest is very expensive. I put t know how much it can cost but certainly not around $1100. With this money, you can buy the laptop integer.

  The list of the used software is impressive and not wonder if the laptop is running slowly. Upgrade of Ram max and it will be much faster. Please don't compare your office with this mobile unit.

  Pick up the news how much memory costs PA3411U-1M1G module and two of them use for RAM max. You will see that unit will go faster and I hope that you will be satisfied with the performance.

  Good day!

• I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

  Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

  I see on the C drive properties
  "space used = 143 GB ', and"
  "494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
  shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
  In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
  Can you please help me
  Thank you

  Hello

  you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

  You cannot extend a drive backward

  and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

  If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software

• A100: Can't see my CD/DVD drive

  I uninstalled an unknown version of a program called Daemon tools (earlier this year) one never since my cd-RW/dvd drive has always been does not appear in my computer as if I did not at all a cd/dvd drive!

• Cannot find CD/DVD drive in my computer on Device Manager. CD - DVD does not work

  I recently discovered that my CD/DVD drive does not work. It worked fine before. Tried to burn a CD in iTunes, but the error message says that the software or the CD device could not be found.

  My CD/DVD drive does not appear in the computer or Device Manager. I have read a few forums and tried to delete upper and lower filters, but that no longer works. Help, please.

  I am running Windows Vista - it came installed on my computer when it was purchased.

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

I've removed the device using Device Manager, and then installed the driver of device again. He said, the drivers have been installed successfully, but cannot find the hardware.

  Also, I get this message now when I click on properties of cd/dvd rom in Device Manager "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) "now that I can't use a cd, the possibility of reinstalling the operating system is also excluded. can someone help me with the problem im facing?

  Thanks in advance
