Linux live CD on Satellite M70 and Driver Modem

Hi I want to use Linux Live CD (or USB boot Linux) on 70 M satellite. I tried puppy linux, but it did not recognize my modem and the USB key (I use the dial upwards). I want to know if someone has used linux live CD on this PC and he was able to use the dial-up modem. To this end, if I need a driver (linmodem), which one and where I should get. And what live CD distro I should choose.

Preference, I like any distribution that can be started from a USB because I n, t want to use my HD at all and boot USB will give me the opportunity to saev my job back in the USB. I only use the Internet (dial-up modem) and word documents (OpenOffice or other), or maybe (not required) I like to watch movies (CD or DVD).

Thank you.

Hello

Try again with the Knoppix Live CD. I didn't try yet but I will do in the future. Get info on http://www.knoppix.org/

By the way: If you want to use other BONES because of security or do some experiments, you can also try installing the virtual machine. A few days ago, I installed VMware Workstation. There, you can preinstall a few different operating systems and do what you want (Internet and so on).

  • Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
    Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

  • Satellite A30: HARD drive, modem and USB controller

    Hi, I have problems with my laptop A30. The HARD drive looks like it will fail (bad sectors) utility that I downloaded on the Hitachi site tells me that it is a hardware failure.

    I am also unable to use my modem that I also get a "cannot open port ' error even if everything looks fine in Device Manager and I have a problem with a USB controller that is apparently not entirely installed but I can not find the drivers for it!

    I am not a happy customer of Toshiba and it seems that there is a general failure with these the 30 GB Hitachi hard drives!

    Retro Hi,

    Maybe not much consolation, but my original 30 GB hard drive has been replaced after only 6 weeks of use. The replacement lasted 8 weeks and the third disc rotate a little better at 16 weeks. Readers were a mixture of Toshiba and Hitachi drives. After the failure of the third car, I decided to buy a bigger HDD (80 GB) and install it myself rather than lose the laptop for another two weeks so that it has been repaired. Then, I bought a new smaller HARD drive that I have installed in an external enclosure (USB) which I use now for regular backups of entire system weekly.

    The HARD drive inside my A30 notebook on the right side directly on the optical drive, and there was a noticeable temperature increase when I work with the optical drive. I have a theory for pets, this increase in heat may adversely affect the HARD drive at times.

    The last drive (a Toshiba MK8025GAS) is in place for 7 months but Norton Ghost has recently begun to report bad sectors so it looks like a new drive could soon be made to order.

  • Satellite Pro A100 driver Modem for Win XP (PSAAPE)

    I recently rebuilt an A100 (PSAAPE) with Windows XP (SP2) and after downloading all the drivers from the Toshiba site downloads, I installed everything goes well apart from the internal modem.

    When I run the Setup it seems to install OK but when I check the Device Manager there is always a PCI device that should install and this is certainly the modem as there is not currently installed modems. Can someone let me know how I can install the modem in this notebook I've tried everything I can think off.

    Thank you

    Martin.

  • Satellite M70 - screen flickers and goes black, white or other

    I have a portable Satellite M70 and lately the screen becomes either black, white and a few other colors (no ghost image).

    The laptop seems good but I can t see anything so the only solution is to turn on and off. He didn't used to do this.
    I have updated the BIOS and the driver of the screen but always comes back.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried an external monitor on the laptop?
    It would be important to make sure if it s a display or the motherboard problem.
    Check it!

    Have what driver you installed for the laptop? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M70 and that you can not download the driver on the main page.
    7.6.0.130.0 atheros, which is the name of the driver that I can not load.
    is it somewhere one another which would be better or I need exactly this?

    I thank the help
    Mogul

    I can see the WLAN page is currently down and unfortunately not available. Maybe Toshiba has to make a server maintenance.

  • My Satellite M70 no longer works, and caps button flashes

    My problem was explained in the title. I just want to know if there is a problem or not. I work on Linux and windows XP, but the problem can happen in the BIOS.
    Thank you, Vivien.
    If you need more information, please ask me :)
    PS: it's the Satellite M70, and I changed the RAM

    Hello

    I'm afraid that you have to be a little more specific than one that's a little wave... but now that you mention that you have changed the RAM maybe this is related to the question of Mr. is your RAM speed appropriate for your laptop? (Example to 400 or 533 MHz, regardless of the speed is indicated for your product). Because if your RAM is at the wrong speed, or at a higher speed (for example, 667 MHz, which happened with me) the computer can crash/blue screen/go crazy.

    In fact, now I remember that my flash CAPS LOCK button too, because of the bad RAM or Aries do not correctly inserted. I recommend to check the speed of your RAM and make sure that you have inserted the right type, RAM speed and you have inserted it correctly

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite M70 with Vista - TCtrlIOHook.exe is blocked due to compatibility issues

    Hi guys,.

    Hoping I can pick your brain. I have the Satellite M70 and have (I think) installed most of the new drivers for Vista... but when I boot up I get "this program is blocked to compatibility issues" blah blah blah..., then says that he has

    Toshiba utility programs

    Can anyone of you tell me please
    one) where I can get a driver to solve this,
    (b) stop this message that appears whenever I start

    Thank you

    Kian

    Hello

    The TCtrlIOHook.exe belongs to the TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility control.
    All this FN keys needs to control the software and TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility is necessary if you want to use the function of the FN keys.

    (A) If you didn t find these utility for Vista on the Toshiba page then it seems that Toshiba don't provide this software for Vista for the M70 laptops.

    (b) If you want to stop the message appearing at the beginning of the boot process, you must remove it from the OS or you will prevent loading software!
    This can be done in the registry. You can remove entries from the RACE

  • Satellite M70: WLAN has no stable connection

    Hello!

    My girlfriend and I have the same laptop a satellite M70 and the installation of Windows XP is the same. My laptop have no problem with the WIFI, but the other have no stable connection to the WLAN.

    What could be the problem?

    Waiting for relief...

    Ciao
    petzifun

    Hello

    There could be several reasons why the connection is unstable.
    Different cards with different properties for example wireless network.
    However, you should check the settings of the WLan card.
    Access the WLan card properties, then select the Advanced tab.
    Disable the power saving mode and check if the other options are available to make the signal more strong and stable.
    In addition, you can also try to update the driver.

  • Cannot re - install Power Saver on Satellite M70-169

    My laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70-169) will not properly charge my laptop battery. It will begin at the start of charging the battery, but then after awhile it stops when the battery is partially charged. I replaced the battery, but this has not solved the problem.

    To try to solve this problem, I tried to reinstall the BIOS, the Power Saver Driver then Power Save in that order.

    The first 2 steps seem to work; However after that I removed the power saving mode, I was unable to reinstall it from the version downloaded from the Web site. I extracted the installation in a folder on my c: drive, but when I tried to run setup.exe, nothing happened.

    Any ideas?

    Have you replaced new battery or the second battery is already being used?

    I have too many Satellite M70 and I think that this question is not related with software pre-installed. As much as I know Toshiba power Saver saver allows users to optimize the performance of the laptop or reduce energy consumption if the laptop is running on battery only. I put really think software preinstalled has something to with charger procedure and some influence on this.

    The fact is that each computer Toshiba laptop can work without Toshiba power saver utility on the same path using power options Windows XP Home/Vista edition. Because of this, I think that the battery must be replaced.

    What about the installation of standby power? According to the document of instructions for Installations you should install TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.36.0.1C only. try to delete the driver GST if you can find it under pre-installed software and install TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.36.0.1C only.

  • Satellite M70: Lost WIFI connection

    Hello!

    I have the Satellite M70 and I use integrated WLAN Intel card 2200bg. I have the latest drivers downloaded from the web site of Toshiba and Asus WLAN router with the latest firmware w520g. Connection signal is excellent, but sometimes in fact very often the connection is broken for 5-10 seconds... I download files all the time, so there is no timeout in network traffic.

    How can I inspect what is reason of losting connection?
    The authentication method or channel mode would be a reason of problems?

    Hello

    Please check all other topics in the forum about similar issues with an Intel 2200BG wireless card. I read a few topics, and it seems that the update of the driver with the wireless driver from Intel site should fix this connection.

    can someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    This problem occurs if you use some heavy software simultaneously (multitasking).
    I guess in this case the CPU and memory with maximum performance, but it takes a little longer because of the many programs and background processes running at the same time.
    What you can do is to upgrade the memory or / and cancel some background processes which are not necessary.
