• Problems using external USB hub with A30

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30-514 with a USB powered 2.0 hub attached. In it's plugged a powered satellite Receiver/USB modem (for connection broadband), a USB bluetooth adapter and a HP PSC 1350 printer. The first two devices work fine, but the printer is not recognized correctly.

  The powered USB hub is plugged into the first USB port on the laptop. The second USB port on the laptop is used by the receiver for a wireless optical mouse. It must be here otherwise, it does not work.
  If I plug the printer directly into the second USB port on the laptop, it works fine.

  In Device Manager, instead of show all HP devices it comes to peripheral USB Composite in the USB controllers section. It is an orange exclamation next to him.

  If I boot the laptop with all 3 devices plugged into the hub and turned on, the printer is detected fine but the Bluetooth Radio devices have an orange instead exclamation point. I need the bluetooth device to attach a cell phone to the laptop. If I unplug the printer and restart the bluetooth is detected OK. Plug the printer in causes the Composite device to reappear with the exclamation point!

  From left to right, looking at the front of the hub, devices are 1) satellite receiver/modem, 2) Bluetooth printer) 3.

  I hope it's clear. Any help / advice would be received with gratitude.

  Hello

  I think the problem is that one of the devices does not have enough power to operate. This is because a single USB port must provide 3 devices with power. If you have an external power supply to one of the features of this you should use.

• 5 TB external USB 3 with Win XP

  The external drive of 5 to is announced for use with XP (as well as other versions of Windows). I have Windows XP (32 bit). I know this has a maximum of 2 TB. But the player is announced as being usable under XP.

  It is visible in Device Manager. It is not visible in disk management or Windows Explorer. It is visible under various partitioning programs, but only as a 2 to drive and I cannot create all partitions. I can not also assign a drive letter. So, I am unable to use it.

  How can I make it usable and create partitions which are visible and usable under XP?
  Thank you.

  The reason why you can not see the other 3 TB HARD disk, is that Windows XP does not support the GPT standard.
  The standard MODEL is necessary if you want to use partitions over 2 TB.
  The common MBR supports 2 TB max

  Please check this Microsoft document for more information:

• Satellite M300: speech recognition only works with external usb hub

  Hi all

  I have the Satellite M300 I could run the speech recognition program before you have the motherboard replaced due to failure of the usb.

  I found using the headset, I can not reach high enough quality to operate it.
  The only way I can use the Word program, use an external usb hub with its own power supply.

  The problem concerns the audio card, or simply not enough voltage?
  And na fix?

  See you soon

  Hello

  The notebooks of USB ports provide a standard power of 500 my.
  As I said that it is a standard, but in USB devices different part 3 external cases need more power.

  For example, one of my external USB 2.5 HDD s must be connected with two USB ports at the same time to ensure that the HARD disk would get enough power to function properly.

  Your external card is unknown to me but maybe it needs more power as usual.

• Strange behavior AT200 - 101 USB OTG with all devices

  Hey,.
  I have an AT200-101 with an ICS 4.0 OS update and I can't get the USB hostmode working. After a lot of reading on the difference fine between the regualar (type B) USB connector and type A (called the OTG) I finally got the right adapter (it has a shape of recangular and ID - PIN is connected to the Earth).
  Now, whenever I plug in a device (massstorage key USB 3G modem) nothing happens except the watch AT200 suddenly * load * even if it is not connected to the charger or the externally connected device power is on.
  I tried these external USB devices with an other ICS Tablet (Zenithink) and they work fine.

  Andybody of the clues?

  Did some tests more: connect a USB mouse works fine as well plug my Sony NEX camera in mode masstorage... But all the other sticks are ignored... Only Toshiba sticks are recognized?

• 320 external USB HARD drive won't boot

  Hello!
  After working fine for 5 months, my disk 320 external HARD USB is now showing that it is not initialized. When I go to disk management and click to initialize it, it won't boot. Can someone tell me how to make this work? I'm sure I'll have to format too, but can't find any way to make that without initializing the HARD drive first.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Try removing the USB ports in Device Manager. After restarting again the USB ports should be recognised again.
  Then again connecting the external HARD drive.

  The second possibility is to use an external USB hub with an additional power supply.
  It is possible that the HARD drive needs more energy than the 500mA

• Portege R500: XP Installation with CD/DVD external USB - SOLUTION drive

  Hi all!

  I just wanted to take five minutes to inform you that installing XP on a Portégé R500 with external USB CD/DVD drive is possible, even if you have already deleted Vista and with a CD bootable XP Win in hand.

  First go into your BIOS and check / set first boot device is CD/DVD player

  Start your installation of win XP from the CD without the F6 thing and let go his way

  After some time, the installation stops and says "cannot find the file xxxx" and you are invited to tell where is this file

  "" Just replace the drive letter "C:" which is given by default with the letter of your CD/DVD drive (and leave the rest as it is) and the installation will continue until the next "cannot find...". "and you need to again replace the drive letter, etc...

  After a complete installation 'automatic assisted manual', you are welcome in Win XP!

  The next question is "where can I find my CD/DVD drive letter?" and the answer is "it's the next letter after your last HARD drive letter" (I consider you have only your Portege with nothing else plugged that your CD/DVD) so more often it will be 'E' C: being the first partition of your HARD disc : is the hidden / recovery partition that winning creates.

  But don't worry, if you type try to the wrong letter, that you will have as much as you want until you find the good and the following "cannot find...". "it will remain the same.

  I hope that this information will help some of you who want a fresh installation of win XP from a newly formatted HARD disk.

  With sincere friendships.

  Mage.

  What a great information!
  Thanks a lot for posting this.

  I think it might be useful to others here.

• Windows 7 computer to connect to Airport Extreme with an external USB drive attached. Flash drive appears for the network map but not the hard drive.

  original title: drive hard extreme airport

  Using Windows 7 and the Airport Extreme.  The Airport Extreme has a USB port that can be used to mount an external hard drive which is accessible via the wireless connection.  Only thing is, I can't get a 2 GB flash drive will appear for mapping.  When I use the other hard drives, they never show upward for mapping.  They show that it is connected to the Airport Extreme, but are not seen by my PC.   The internet has a rumor according to which hard drives will show up only on a PC if they are to FAT32... which would work without another formatted hard drive.  What do you know about my problems of compatibility with hard drives?

  Hello

  Check updates firmware for the Airport Extreme.

  Airport Extreme

  Airport - Support
  http://www.Apple.com/support/airport/

  ---------------------

  Although I think that the question is really the Airport Extreme also updates Windows 7 WiFi.
  Check with the system manufacturer and the real device manufacturer updates the driver.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
  (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
  7 love the updated drivers.

  I hope this helps.

• T400 with external USB UltraNav keyboard

  I have an external IBM / Lenovo USB keyboard with UltraNav on my T400. At the time where I had plugged to my T41 I have 2 tabs in Control Panel - mouse, so I could adjusted internally and externally, but right now Im only getting one for internally.

  How can I fix it? I tried to reinstall the drivers for the keyboard, but nothing helped.

  OK, got it a reinstall once more, and now it works:

  1 remove UltraNav driver + utility UltraNav

  2 remove the USB port USB keyboard

  3 reinstalled UltraNav driver + restart

  4. USB keyboard

  Now it works, I get 2 tabs under mouse control panel, I have not yet installed the UltraNav utility and not sure that I will, because I don't need (and maybe it's that it has broken the last time). Maybe if I have time to play one day.

• Portege Z930-118 does not recognize the external USB CD/DVD drive

  My new Z930-118, with windows 7 64 bit home, does not recognize the external CD/DVD drive when I plug it into the USB port.

  The CD/DVD device does not even appear at all in Device Manager.

  The reader is a SE-S084 Samsun and works well on another laptop.

  I already checked for the "upper_filter", "lower_filter" with the regedit, but entries are not there, so no help.

  Hello
  I m not very well how to help you.

  I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

  I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

  From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
  I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.

• PX1266E 250 GB external USB HDD - it's going to work with USB1.0

  I just bought a PX1266E 250 GB external hard drive USB need USB 2.0. My PC is quite old and has only USB 1.0. My new external hard drive works with USB 1.0?

  Usually, the USB 2.0 standard is compatible to the bottom. This means that external USB 2.0 devices are able to operate with standard USB 1.0.
  If your device supports only the 1.0 standard USB HARD drive should work, but data transfer is much lower than the USB 2.0 connection.

• Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

  Hi all!

  I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
  My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

  So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

  Thank you in advance.

  I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
  Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

• External Usb Audio Card Popping and cracking sound with Satellite L500

  Greetings,

  My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria, and a year ago, I bought a laptop satellite l500 series (I can't tell which is exactly the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and my user manual, the only thing that is said is that it is for L505/L500/L500D / L505D.) But from memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal, because I gave him for repairs for the same problem that I say down below)

  The problem with my laptop, is that when I plug in a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a crackling sound during live sound is played hollow map external speakers/headphones. I tried several sound cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly well with other computers, including laptops, but the problem continues even when I use an external sound card to connect to the laptop not appearing in my laptop speakers/headphones.

  The problem is important only when the signal passes through an external audio card and it is very disruptive since I use my laptop to create music and I bought a sound card expenssive and speakers that can not be used with the laptop. I tried 3 types of sound cards:

  M-Audio Fast Track Pro

  BEHRINGER uca 222

  and a simple 3d audio usb audio card external and the problem persists.

  At first, I thought that the problem is software and I should install the new drivers, windows 7 automatically recognizes and installs the drivers for the devices and I have its in (but with the cracks and educated) so I tried using the official drivers sold for me with the sound cards, but without success: the problem was still there. I tried to find the new drivers of the sound cards on long official distributors and I downloaded it but the problem was still there. Then I tried to delete all the audio drivers on my computer and just use the external sound card for sound but this eighter helps force. I updated my drivers for my sound card build - in as well but again - no luck.

  After substantial thing frist I did when (2 weeks after I bought the laptop) was to contact the store where I bought my audio card and they said that the problem may be so eighter latency or high voltage of the laptop they advised me to try to reduce the latency of the parameters or to try and see if the problem persists if only my laptop running on battery power. I tried two things, and they did not help. Audio cards worked without problems on all the other computers I tried them but me. So they told me that the problem could not be audio cards.

  What I then was that I gave my laptop for the Distributor official of toshiba in my country so that they can solve my problem. What they told me, is that a problem with the version of windows which was preinstalled on my laptop and it was not compitable with the sound cards (which was bizzar survey because I tried them on the same windows and they worked, only on other computers). So I'm back from my laptop and passed under my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate edition 64-bit and Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate edition on all versions, that's the problem: whenever I activate a low of passes of audio signal and Audio Usb card he heard cracks and educated. I even tried isntalling Windows XP, but the laptop want spesific SATA drivers for the Windows XP installation which although I found - they helped me install XP and I didn't go the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new and so on, because I'm not sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said in the official repair shop for Toshiba in my city to put XP on my computer to solve the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to work with software that isn't a recipt for its purchase (which I did not because I bought my windows xp a long time ago and I lost the recipt)

  I gave her to get it repaired for the second time by telling them that the change of my operating system has not solved my problem and what they were doing was they changed the motherboard on my computer, indicating that the build in the device realtek audio on my computer is good enough to support a card usb audio or it may be broken and they change the whole motherboard because the generation of card is stuck, so they did it, but my problem has not been resolved. They told me that although I use and map external audio usb signal always going trough my only internal and I have to disable so I tried to disable this trough Control Panel, but this does not solve the problem and I don't have a BIOS option to disable my sound card build-in. Another thing I thought that maybe the problem is that two audio cards do not work on the same bitrate and Hertz so I put both cards to 16 bit 48000 Hz DVD quality (also tried the other options on the 3 cards that I have) but it's the same thing.

  They told me that it's just my luck and the construction of the sound card does not support this external sound cards and I would had been more careful when they choose to my laptop first.

  I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:

  (1) this sound card works on a lower version of windows and are supported by many older models of Realtek and a lot of old computers (one of them bought 2000! and my laptop is of 2010!)

  (2) the guys who were the apperantley of fixing problem don't go so deeply into my problem because they didn't know that in fact the problem was that only they knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interact with them, they knew not that it cracks during the direct play the external audio card.

  (3) I can't accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing of models with maps audio chipset that cannot support a simple external Usb Audio card. It is totally unacceptable to me, and I sincerely hope that this is not the case!

  (4) they have tried my audiocards on another laptop of the same series, claiming that they have not at their dispossal at the moment so I'll go tomorrow at a local store and try the sound cards by myself on the same computer in the store.

  What I have now, it was that I gave my laptop for repair requesting a statement of the problem in wrtting with details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop, but I'll be charged with little money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external sound cards are not compitable with the build in house chipset sound card. If I give my laptop for repair, and there is no hardware problem, I'll have to pay the money. I will do this, but I'm now crazy, because that does not solve my problem and I am wasting time and money.

  What I ask here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please give me the details of the chipset built in Driver sound card on my motherboard, so I can check if it is compitable with my external sound cards and contact the dealers of the sound card to ask them their opinion. Or if you can tell me what it is compitable with and what not, that would be great. Personally, I think this laptop should have no problem at all with a simple external usb running sound card, but I ask you, if you know something more about it.

  If a problem with the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least sell) audiocards which are not in a normal standart but unfortunately I can not do nothing except complain to Toshiba and never treat whith such productgs more. Otherwise, if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem that is different and I have to go to court with the mans for mounting repair is not my laptop or do not give a new one when I guarantee will not fault of Toshiba and it will be in a way solve my problem.

  I hope that you understand how important it is for me and I hope I have fix the problem as soon as possible.

  P.S

  I want to say that I am familiar with grammar mistakes, that I did in the text below, and I would ask your excuses that I'm not a native speaker of English.

  Hi, I would just say that I had a similar failure although I wouldn't be surprised if she causing of yours, but you never have knowledge, my fault was the lid of my laptop [9 months], it contains the mic and when the lid has been in a certain angle cracks could be heard worse when I got my external sound card all the time it happened, luck, PS, it's a defective membrane [lid to the body] easily missed by engineer because he was the same angle you English is very good

• Satellite M30X-129 loses connectivity with the external USB device

  I have a problem with my laptop that has regularly been do worse and I can handle is no longer!

  Whenever I work with external devices via USB ports (all kinds of devices but my external hard drive Smartdisk CrossFire and my iPod in particular), after a certain period of time (sometimes minutes, sometimes hours) the laptop loses connectivity with the device.

  If happens to be listening to the music, download photos from a camera or laptop computer for the ' net or sync of the iPod, the connection is cut off, turning off the device and I have to start all over again!

  I'm almost at the point of launch of the laptop by the window, so any help is most welcome.
  Thank you

  Hello

  This happens also with the external USB mouse?
  This occurs if the power adapter is plugged or only if the laptop running on battery?

  In-hubs properties > Device Manager USB root-> power management
  You will find the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

  I would recommend the brand and disable this option.

  Maybe it helps.

  By the way; When do you update the operating system? I think that it s there long time, perhaps some system files or registry entries are corrupted or a 3rd party application affect the USB functionality?
