• Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

  I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

  After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

  I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

  However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

  If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

  I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

  Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

  Thanks for listening...

  For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

  But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
  The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

  If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

• Need info on the HARD drive adapter and utility installation Vista on Equium A110

  I am the owner of a satellite A110 - 233 (PSAB2E), and I've recently upgraded to Vista after installing 2 GB of RAM. However, I was somewhat short space hard disk and I dealt with a new 120 GB HARD drive. However, it seems that the computer has an interface of edge, like the current Hitachi TravelStar HARD drive connector - it's not like there's a plug of the adapter on the disk. Anyone know where I can get an adapter for my hard drive of 40 pins 'traditional '?

  After I installed Vista and flashing my BIOS, I have ConfigFree reiinstalled and value added package (among other pilots). However, running ConfigFree always leads to a crash with the ID of BSOD "NO_MORE_IRC_STACK_LOCATIONS."
  In regards to the PPV, I mainly wanted it for energy savings. However, searching for him gives only 'Power Saver help'.

  Can someone give me guidance here? Thank you.

  Hello

  Did you know that you have a disk serial - ata of your machine which is not compatible with the standard IDE (40 pins)? You won´t get a spindle adapter 40 to serial ATA, SATA is a completely different technology to the IDE.
  You will need to return the drive, you bought and buy a disc serial - ata, that will fit your machine.

  A small idea on my side about your BSOD:

  Download the powersaver and the configfree for vista on the internet (it is a good address: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp) and reistall that stuff, maybe it helps.

• Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

  A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work. He tried to self-diagnose this himself, he told me to shut down the computer and restart. I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

  Can someone offer me some tips?

  Kind regards

  Barry

  Hello

  It's very strange
  How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

  Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
  Or what is exactly happening?

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
  In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

  I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
  But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.

• Satellite A-L50-1CU - need info on the resolution of the external display

  Hello world

  It seems an obvious questions, but... could you please tell me exactly the maximum resolution and Hz for the external monitor plugs on this model?
  I need to buy a hi res ips monitor for the edition of photography, and I don't want to pay a lot for something useless...
  Thank you very much
  Marco

  BTW, in the standard memory configuration, can I free memory locations? Or I need to remove the standard memory, substituting it with 2x8GB?

  I don't have this model of laptop, but if it has video HDMI port means that your laptop can offer excellent output video in HD quality.
  In my opinion, you should speak with your local dealer and explain the situation so I hope it can help you choose the best monitor for you. I can also imagine you can take your laptop with you and test it before you buy it.

  According to specification for portable computer, your computer can be upgraded up to 32 GB (4 memory locations).
  To upgrade RAM, you can use the memory modules to follow:
  2GB DDR3L - 1600 - PA5104U-1M2G
  4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
  8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

• Try using the Vista upgrade disc supplied with the system displays error Windows version is not authentic

  original title: with Acer Aspire Vista Help
  Well, here's the story, I bought an Acer aspire T180 a few years back from Best Buy with Windows Vista installed. The only drive I received was a Vista Upgrade disc. Fast forward a few months computer slows down, etc so I thought I'd see any control and maybe cleaning the system some. Put my disk to upgrade looking for the way to do it. Make the mistake of installing the upgrade. now I have the upgrade on my computer and it always tells me that I have a version of windows that is not authentic. I tried to use my COA on upgrade drive, does not recognize and COST on the case of my Aspire, once again with the same result. I have my old version under windows.old, but can't seem to install it. I would just go back to my Vista OEM install. I have access to another computer, but it is an Apple and prefer if I didn't use this option unless it makes it easier. I guess what I'm asking, it's just to get back to my legal version on this computer, would like to keep files, but if can't, I would like to do a clean reinstall. Mine is out of warranty, so no help from Best Buy or Acer without paying their

  You are welcome.

  But try first to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD of an acquantance of work for this restoration instead of a full recovery.

  See you soon.

  Ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

• Can I install the Vista upgrade to my system if I erased the hard drive?

  I recently struck out everything what one of my hard drives. Can I install an upgrade of Vista on it?

  The requirements for the multimedia upgrade is to have an operating system already qualify as installed Windows XP to use it

  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 and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  You can try the following:

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as 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 Vista Upgrade disc.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows Vista 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

  Skip entering your Windows Vista key product and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

• Need info on the recovery disks delivered for Satellite Pro M35

  I need to wipe the hard drive on my M35 Pro sitting that the machine runs too slow now.
  700 MB of RAM but not good.

  I found my recovery disk but worry as it is said 1/2 which implies that it is the first of the 2 discs.
  Is this the case?

  I have the disk tools and utilities, is considered to be disc 2?
  Is there a way to make it past disc 2 or downloading if it is the case that I don't have?
  Thanks to all who help

  Hello

  As far as I know older Toshiba laptops have been delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD and the CD tools & utilities.
  Due to the size of the image large image was installed on 2 s recovery CD
  All CD s are marked and it should be easy to recognize the good CD!

  It seems that you've lost the first game of the s recovery CD and that is why I would recommend contacting the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country and order the first recovery CD!
  It s should not be expensive ;)

  Good luck

• Satellite P105-S9722: need info on the Toshiba warranty policy

  Hello

  I have a question about the Toshiba international warranty policy, I searched but did not find the answer on the site.

  I have a P105-S9722 I bought February last year and the warranty expired in Feb 08.
  The whole screen has been replaced for free in November last due to a failure.

  Now, I have a related problem screen developed a few days ago (gray vertical line in the Middle - probably needs another replacement). (the initial expiration date is more, 7 months since the replacement)

  I would like to know if the screen can I extended warranty Auto for another year 1 (from Nov 07) or not. Local distributor said 'no', I called another country, they said only for the replaced, it IS extended. Now I am confused if I pretend to replace it for free.

  What is then the standard of international politics and what should I do?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Laslo

  Hi Laszlo

  Hmm. Your laptop is an American series and it seems to be designed for the American market.
  I'm not sure about the warranty but American policy as far as I know the European specifications are covered by the warranty for a year.

  It is a standard warranty and if you register your laptop on the European site of Toshiba, then, your guarantee will be extended to 2 years.

  If something has been replaced on your laptop, then the new part is covered by the warranty for about 6 months.

  I hope that this brief explanation helps you and clarify warranty issues.

• Need info on the microphone on Satellite Pro A120 Jack

  Hello

  I am using Skype with my A120SE and bought a Logitech Internet Chat headset. However, the volumes of micro are acceptable with the sensitivity turned to max and thrust box checked in the audio properties of XP. But the amount of "white noise" is unbearable. The Web from Logitech website suggests that the microphone is a type of capacitor requires a voltage of 3V polarization, and this poor performance can be caused by an inadequate diet. I also noticed that headsets/microphones of some other manufacturers suggest a bias voltage 1.5V.

  I can't find any specification tecniques for the Toshiba microphone jack. Can anyone help, or can anyone suggest a reasonable headset which worked with the A120SE?

  Hello

  I quite often here and if I remember right you are the first person who wrote about the bad experience with the use of the helmet. Generally avoid any problem. Logitech stuff is good quality material and I wonder really subject described.

  I'm really skeptical that someone can give you info on the mic socket. Try contacting a service allowed in your country. Maybe they can help you. I use Sennheiser headphones and I am very satisfied. It's really high quality product and I can recommend it.
