• Satellite U205-S5002: cannot retrieve the Express Media Player after upgrading the HARD drive

  So I bought just a new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 I love it. One of the great features that interest me was the Express Media Player feature.

  My first step was to upgrade the hard disk and 160 GB and 2 GB ram.
  I placed the disk and ram in my old laptop and sold it.

  Before that I did, I made a copy ghosts and ghost of the hard drive to the new drive. Well come to find out...

  Toshiba is not provided with this software preinstalled, so I followed the instructions to burn my recovery disk Express Media Player and the boot on the new disk.
  So this is where the saga begins...

  After 15-20 seconds, I get a soothing blue screen (NOT of blue BSOD you mind) who says:

  /!\
  An error occurred during the recovery of "Express Media Player".
  -------------------------------------------------------
  Please pick up the image again from the beginning.
  Press any key to exit.

  It is typed exactly as it is on the screen. So, I see some other forums saying: you must have the free space of the disk so I resize the partition that allows 200 MB of space. Always the same... then try 2 GB even... then the 50 GB, same problem...

  OK, so obviously not a question of space. I read while I might need to erase the drive... so I delete the partition, this same error... then I run the recovery disk and tell him to wipe the drive, wait 1 1/2 hour, it ends. No dice! So I decide... ok... Well lets try another disk... I have restored my ghost image... and burned the image again... same question... so I decide to the recovery disk and I'll try to reinstall windows in the factory and make a record...

  Well, it does not work as well as you think... the image is incomplete... windows works fine... but the c:\Toshiba\ExpressMediaPlayer folder is empty!

  I'm happy that I have ghosts my original directory. But I decide allows to Express Media Player a shot more now that I have restored to factory... always the same error... I then decide a trial more... I'll erase drive 1.5 hours, I'll restore from toshiba dvd provided but leaving plenty of space at the end 2 GB (I have a lot about people who tell you to base just around 200 MB)

  5 hours later... moment of truth... Well Yes you guessed it... I don't know anything else to try... I have a bad image?
  You need one that I can download what has worked for them for sure? Or have - I have completely found myself by replacing the HDD with after market and which is originally a kind of compatibility issue?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It s a great story!
  I put t know how to start so maybe first some info on the Express media player.

  As you said, and has already proposed the Express media player has been preinstalled on the second partition.
  If you want to install this media Express on the HARD disk drive, 150-200 MB of free space must be available. This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get these free space on the HARD disk, 3 third-party products should be used as for example the Partitions Magic 8!

  I'm not going to write a story how to recover the Express media player because Toshiba has already created useful documents, which described complete installation!
  I found these documents in the knowledge base of computer Toshiba:

• Can I replace the graphics card on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  Just a quick question about the graphics card in my Satellite pro a100 computer laptop. I heard different stories about this.

  The ATI RAdeon Mobility x 1400 card can be replaced on this laptop. If so how easy it is to do and how I could tell which cards would be compatible?

  Thank you

  MAcca.

  You cannot remove, replace or update the graphics card.
  The graphics chip is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it.
  In addition, the motherboard is compatible only with the current graphics chip.

• Tecra A2 used power up after upgrading the hard drive

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A2. Hard drive 60 GB factory begins to run out, so I installed a new 160 GB drive.

  But the system will not power on with the 160GB inside.
  When I press the power button the AC light goes from green to orange and blinks short short short Long Long Long in this sequence

  If I put the original drive, it does not supply power to the top.

  Any ideas what I can do about it? I got tired of updating bios on Toshiba website, but he has not made a difference.

  Thank you

  Hi DenSys,

  > Any ideas what I can do about it?
  In my opinion, the case is clear: either this new HARD drive is defective or it s is not compatible to your laptop. But if everything works with the old HDD, you contact the new 160 GB back

  Your laptop has an IDE interface for HARD drive? If so don t forget that it will be able to manage the hard disks up to 128 GB only due limitation LBA 28 bits. In order to check another model.

• No CD/DVD drive after upgrade of Windows 8 on Satellite Pro S300L

  The cd Rom drive no longer works after upgrade to Windows 8.
  The drive is not displayed in the Solution Explorer, either. It is mentioned: error in the register.

  I can not change the right driver in Device Manager - probably it was deleted.
  Is the driver of the * MATHSITA DVD-RAM UJ880AS drive * for Windows 8 available?

  How can I make my cd Rom drive working again?
  How can I fix the error?

  Could guide you me in registry change (upper and lower filters) if necessary?

• Question about DVD drive on Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7

  Although the [Specification | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=131911] told my Sat - Pro A200 (PSAE7) comes with a drive DVD Toshiba, it is * NOT * installed in my machine. I tried to download what is called "dvdpl-20070807102909" (what is the program?) download from Toshiba site, but when I double-click on the "setup.exe" inside the application, Windows Vista says 'cannot install this application.

  I also watched inside the recovery disc that comes with the laptop, but nothing obvious to click to install the drive appears.

  Please what could someone help and tell me how to install this DVD player?

  It s a bit strange
  On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find the Toshiba DVD player software.
  It s version 1.10.06 DVD player
  So I assume it must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop.

  The restore CD that came with the laptop contains an image of Toshiba. This image should support Windows OS, all Toshiba driver, utility and software tools extra.
  Please insert the recovery CD into the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

  This procedure will format the whole HARD drive and install the operating system again on the laptop.
  After a new installation, please check if the Toshiba DVD player is available!

• Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

  Thank you

  Luke

  Hello

  Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

  It s already installed when you plug it in.

• Audio lost after upgrade to Vista on a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E

  Hello

  I just upgraded to vista and I lost my audio. I tried all the latest orders, still no luck. The pc says the driver is installed and the device works correctly, but I can't hear anything. Volume is 100% also.

  Any ideas?

  Well, first of all how someone should provide advice, if you n t write anything on the name cell phone you! ???
  Then please provide more details on your laptop!

  I noticed the same problem on the satellite U200. After upgrading from XP to Vista there is no sound, but the audio driver has been correctly installed and audio chipset has also been recognized correctly.

  After a long investigation, I found a solution here in the forum.
  First, it was important to increase the volume to the maximum with XP installed. Together sound controls must also be set to max.
  Be sure to use the RIGHT driver sound after the new installation of Vista.
  Not all drivers are working!

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 and use the slot for SD card frequently, however, the capacity of memory cards can sometimes be restrictive, is it possible to update the firmware for SDHC cards and if so, how.

• Upgrade of RAM in my Satellite Pro A100 (PSAA3E) was not recognized.

  I have a Pro A100 (PSAA3E) with only 512 MB of RAM.

  I added another identical stick but only 1 has been recognized.
  Each stick is recognised individually in each slot, but never as a 1 GB together. Thus, the two sticks are ok and two slots are okay!

  How can I remedy so that both are recognized?

  Did you use one that is recommended by Toshiba?
  Seems the two modules aren't compatible together hmmm seems very strange.

  How you did upgrade the memory?
  You must disconnect all cables and remove the battery. Then install the memory modules and enter the BIOS. There, you should check if the memory has been increased and set the default BIOS. Don t forget to safe settings!

  Good luck
