• Replacement of the hard disk for Equium A60-155

  I need to replace the hard drive in my equium A60-155. I need to know what is compatible with this model and if the brand of the drive is important in compatibility. For example should be a drive hard toshiba or is it possible to others.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

  It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  I found these useful discussions on the replacement of the HDD on the Satellite and Equium A60:

  Satellite A60 is very similar to the A60 Equium and so the two series use the same hard disks

• Equium A60-155, don't 'sees' new HARD drive

  I have an old Equium A60-155, P5A67E and tried to install a new drive hard - one Samsung 120 GB, 5400 RPM IDE.
  However the BIOS (ver 1.90) is not 'see' and has no auto-detection option I see either - in fact it has very few options for anyone!

  The existing drive (original) is a Fujitsu 40 GB IDE.

  The 120 GB should be not OK, below the barrier of 128 Gb? - but would be using a suitable HARD drive utility (-Samsung offers a version of OnTrack) to make the drive HARD smaller 'look' for the Bios, be any help anyway? Is that the new drive faulty? Any other ideas?

  Any help is appreciated!

  I agree with you and think that 120 GB should be recognized correctly. It is not easy to say what the problem is here. BIOPS value default settings and check again. If the same problem persists, try using a different HDD with 80 or 100 GB to see if any of them will be recognized correctly.

  Problem is that you have limited options with all this and that he cannot do much. Either it is admitted or not.

• Equium A60-155 - HARD drive upgrade

  I have an Equium A60-155 with 40G HARD drive.
  The manual says that this model comes with up to 80G installed, but is it possible to upgrade to 120, or even 160G?

  Hello

  If your laptop comes with a HDD of 80 GB then you ve got a good chance a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive would be supported.
  I have no course with a size of 160GB HARD drive but I m m the 160 GB might be too afraid.

  I recommend you use and test a 120 GB

  See you soon

• HARD drive external with will operate at 7200 rpm on Equium A60-155

  Hello

  I have an Equium A60-155 which runs at 4200 RPM and I'm having some problems running some recording software. I thought a hard disk at 7200 RPM. This will be compatible and it my computer, and then run at 7200 RPM? I'm naïve on this...

  Thank you
  Andrew

  Hello

  You want to connect the 7200 RPM external HARD drive to the USB2 port?
  Usually the HARD drive should be recognized if you are connecting to the USB2 port, but the question is whether you'll be able to find a 2.5 external enclosure and controller that takes care of hard drives.

  If the external HARD disk controller can support this HDD then you should be able to use the HARD drive.
  But he should know that USB 2.0 has a rate of raw data at 480 Mbps but stretches of effective rate to 320Mbps for transfer on a USB 2.0 HDD if no one else does not share the bus.

• Blue screen on Equium A60-155 - "Driver IRQ not less or equal" stop 0 x 0

  I have a model Equium A60-155 no psa67e-00300c8j and I got two years ago. She has always had a problem of crash with "IRQ_Not_less_or_equal. I did all the memory reinstall new habit, and updated the BIOS etc.

  In desperation, erased from the hard drive with a windows 2000 and reinstalled the recovery disk and it worked for about a month. When I updated the Explorer and Norton it crashed again. (updates are always a precursor) The laptop and an Explorer to work properly in safe mode. I removed all Norton a PROG from Symantec, but it remains the creases, but it's now a constant error. "Driver_IRQ_not_less_or_equal" with tech info * stop 0 x 00000004, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000D1, 0XF7A6A6C6.

  This is almost certainly a driver of windows operating system problem, it happens with any XP disk.

• Equium A60-155: can't access CD/DVD drive

  I own an Equium A60-155 with an extra 512MB memory installed. My problem is with the carpet * a DVD Super - multi Drive.

  When I insert a disc the busy light flashes for about 5 seconds, I hear a small amount of activity, but then it just stops and it stays on permanently. If I try to access the drive through windows, it seems to be empty!

  I had this problem before and it sets just once! I don't think that it is windows such that the drive has the same way (busy light always on, if the disc is in the drive) before even windows has started. My warranty ran out earlier so he sent set is not an option?

  Does anyone have any ideas, what is the problem?

  Hi Joe

  I put really know what can help, but you can try to remove the drive from the Device Manager list. Restart the device and check the functionality again. After you restart the new hardware (CD/DVD-ROM) unit will be recognized and installed correctly.

  If the problem persists with any type of media (original music CD and DVD) it can really be some malfunction of the equipment.

• Driver error to display on my Equium A60-155

  I have an Equium A60 - 155. I've had consistent problems where I get a message saying that my ati display driver has stopped working. I downloaded again the driver and still no change. I've seen the blue screen of death several times but do not see it for quite a long time to read it is said but it does not specify the ati driver again.

  Can someone PLEASE tell me what to do!
  It makes me crazy!

  Blue screen of death shows usually only two things: corrupt or poorly written discs or a defective hardware such as memory.
  First of all I would like to start by testing your system for that RAM, I recommend a program called memtest86 - http://www.memtest86.com/
  If your RAM is exceeded then the problem may be driver or hardware related. Unfortunately solving BSOD problem can be a real pain, so it might be useful to consider using the product just recovery DVDs make sure you backup that all your personal data files because this procedure will destroy all data.

• Cannot install XP OS on my Equium A60-155

  Hello guys,.

  I had a laptop series Equium A60-155 about 3 years old worked when I used last and it was about 2-3 months ago. I turn on the laptop yesterday into the to use and she charged up to the logo then no activity on the display showed after that.

  I formatted the laptop with Windows XP Home edition disc and then tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but it keeps stopping at 53% in the installation process.

  I went to a technician, and his suggestions were:
  -Possible overheating,
  -Damaged, hard drive
  -Configuration of the bios,
  -Damaged the motherboard or,
  -damaged band memory.

  I tried again this morning, but even once, he stopped at the same percentage as yesterday 53%. If you have any suggestions that require the problem please post your here on this post.

  Thanks to those who responded.

  Hello

  I also suspect that the HARD drive is faulty. If possible, try to get the second HARD drive for testing. It doesn't have to be a new brand. Test it and post the results.

  We can just speculate on possible problem, but I agree with technician. Take the first step and test the HARD drive.

  O Yes, you can also clean the laptop before starting the procedure of facilities. After only that the laptop will be cooled much better.

• How can I copy DVDs on the HDD on Equium A60-155

  Anyone know if I can copy DVDs to the hard drive?
  I have an Equium A60-155 and Sonic Record now and Intervideo winDVD creator on it.

  These two programs say that they allow me to copy to a blank disc, but don not say if I can copy on the hard disk.

  Hello

  sure, why not. Go to Explorer windows and do copy - paste, which should make the thing.

  Otherwise, there should be a few good programs like "Isobuster" that can do almost the same thing...

  Hello, I have an Equium A60-155.

  I can burn Cd fine, but I want to edit some images from the video camera on DVD.

  It is said Multi-graveur of DVD RW on the side. It means that I can write on DVD.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  @dns
  The satellite was delivered with the DVD-CDRW combo drive.
  According to the information, you can't burn it to DVD.

  @beatpoet:
  Each Toshiba laptop was delivered with the burning software like drag - drop or a Sonic Record Now.
  I use Nero. It s a great application and I m very happy.

• Question of Eve Equium A60-155

  Hi all

  I an Equium A60-155, which was set up a few times (some with DVD original recovery and a few with the Windows XP Pro CD standard), but has still a problem persistent... whenever the unit to standby and then brought out of standby, it fires upward, but with a black screen and no response from the keyboard. The only way to get into Windows is turned off manually and restart normally.

  Someone else had this problem or a solution? I think it might actually be the hardware at fault because he had so many different re - installed.

  Hello

  I read that the graphics driver and BIOS upgrade might be very useful in such cases.
  You should compare the pre-installed driver and BIOS versions with the versions on the Toshiba page. If there is a newer version, then I recommend to update these applications.

  Your comments would be very appreciated.

• Equium A60-155 will not start

  Hello

  I have an Equium a60-155, that I knew that she works for a while, but recently I came with a new poroblem... my laptop guard turn off without notice and loses all power.

  The battery has been dead for some time and lasts about 5 seconds, but I've been using the AC adapter.

  Recently, she stops and even the LED lights for the power/battery adapter / is not on.

  At first I thought it was the fuse in the adapter which could have been blown so I replaced it, and it started to work again, but then after a few minutes, it stops and lost all power.

  I had this during the last days and I noticed that it regains power when I unplug the power adapter from the mains supply and remove the fuse and put it back in but his lasts only for a few minutes.

  I don't know if it is a hardware problem or I just need a new adapter. Someone at - it similar problems and can offer any adivce?

  Hello!

  What do you think that the laptop is overheating? I don't know, but if so the laptop would also immediately turn off m.
  So, try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. So you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

  If it doesn't help it's really hard to say what the reason is for this maybe you should bring the laptop to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop.

  Good bye

• Audio CD not playing not not in mast * a 820 s UJ on Equium A60-155

  Hello

  I'm having some trouble with audio CDs on my Equium A60-155 with the carpet * a UJ 820 dvd multi recorder. By audio CD, I hear cd albums purchased, not copies or CDs with mp3 files (I'm ripping my cd collection on a MP3 player through my laptop).

  A brief description of the problem is:

  Some cds do not play the disk at all - I can hear it clicking and buzzing and light orange on the eject disc, but it will not read the disk and the pc hangs until I have the disc. Some CD play, but with sound distortions (e.g. constant cracking and popping); and some CD and play ignite very well, without any problems at all.

  Windows Media Player is what I use to play the CD. The CD I'm unable to play fine on a normal cd player and on other PCs (I tried a number of these CDs on several PCs in my office and have no problem at all), so I'm confident drives real themselves are not the issue.

  I would also like to add that no audio CD (for example the software) and DVD playback absolutely perfect on my laptop with no problems whatsoever.

  I tried most of the advice in other posts here with similar issues:
  I have reinstalled/updated all the drivers, firmware and bios.
  I removed the dvd drive of the Device Manager and rebooted to force Windows to reinstall.
  I tried to clean the lens with a cd lens cleaning cd.
  I tried to play the CD via iTunes and RealPlayer instead of WMP, but have the same problems.

  I would appreciate any advice that anyone could offer. In reading the other posts it seems similar to the problem of lens calibration other posters have known, but I would have thought that he would not play any CD at all if that was the case.

  Please let me know if you need more information. I use Windows XP SP2.

  Thanks in advance,
  Ed

  Check this box:
  Go to the properties of the drive and select the Hardware tab. Then choose new drive and select Properties. Then check in the Properties tab, if the Enable CD digital option for CD-rom audio is marked
  Maybe it helps.

  I have although this could have something to do with audio copy that has been applied on some audio CD s protection.
  I read on the internet that many different readers might have some problems with these copy protections.

  Maybe I m wrong, or even it s calibration lens problem
  These problems might arise if the lens can not calibrate correctly. I mean that the reader may be able to play media and others not.
