• External USB floppy drive for Satellite Pro M70

  I just bought a Satellite Pro M70 Centrino Mobile 750 to replace my Satellite 5105 - S702, which exposes the same type of problems of corruption/crash video display described elsewhere in these forums.

  I need an external floppy drive, and the site of the Toshiba shop specifies an external USB Floppy Drive Ref. PA3109E-3FDD.

  However, I have an external drive USB Floppy, Réf. PA3109U-1FDD, I bought for the satellite 5105-S702 about 4 years ago.

  5105-S702 has USB 1.1 ports and satellite Pro M70 has USB2 ports.

  Issues related to the:

  PA3109U-1FDD will work with the satellite Pro M70?

  There are likely to be problems of compatibility, driver issues or any probability/possibility of damage to the Sat ProM70?

  Would appreciate any advice.

  Thank you

  Hi Alan

  I really don? t know why you ask if the floppy drive will not work. Why you don? t he try? As far as I know, it should work and you should not buy a new one.

  Just for info: a few months ago, I saw the Toshiba FDD drives with part number PX? And these drives are not bootable but on the lower side, there is a label with this information.

  Anyway, you can use your other more ancient. According to the specification tested for MS M70 is FDD Drive Kit PA3109U-1FDD (your one).

  Good luck

• External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages. __

  External USB hard drives lose its connection and work stoppages.

  History

   
  Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit
  I installed it on a HP Pavilion, OS, 64-bit, and I have this problem.
  People report that it does not occur with Windows 7 32 bit OS.

  Problem:
  Any brand of external hard drive USB (and other USB devices sometimes) lose its connection and stops working only when copying large files internal drive to external USB drives.
  The USB device may appear to work properly when Windows first starts, but later stops working (crashes computer) after the start of large files to copy. You must restart Windows for the USB is working again.
  This only occurs when you copy files large files to THE USB port, not on the internal drive. It happened when I synicing my IPhone with Itunes when it started the synchronization of music files.

  According to the suggestions I have:
  1) updated the BIOS from the websites of the manufacturers.
  (2) power management disabled on the USB hub for disks
  (3) ensure that the BIOS for Legacy USB is set to.  I don't have this option in the BIOS settings.
  (4) this is not a motherboard problem, it is located on three different MB that we use.
  Also tried three different USB drives and different cables.

  Because I tested with two different computers updated and USB drives, our opinion is that this problem indicates that the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

  Someone knows a solution?

• Portege R500-11Z: how to use the external mic and hear the internal speakers

  We have a Portege R500-11Z running XP and want to use Skype with an external table microphone and the internal speakers.

  When connect us the microphone to the Jack MIC the Portege, built-in speakers cut out!

  How to use an external mic and still hear the internal speakers?

  Hello

  > When connect us the microphone on the Portege, built-in speaker MIC Jack cut!
  Are you sure you used the microphone port and no headphone port?

  Have you checked your settings Audio from Skype?
  There is an option called ring through the speaker too or something like that.

  Please also check the Realtek HD audio Manager in Control Panel.
  There is a tab called Audio i/o.

  Usually, you can change the connector settings, by clicking on the small key-tool icon.
  Disable the option called Mute rear output when plugged headphones before

  As you can see is called headset and not so I m confused a little bit why the speakers are turned off when you connect an external microphone.

  By the way; There is also a tab called micro.
  Check if the two options that reduce the echo and noise are OFF

• Portege R100: Problems with CD/DVD Lacie USB 2.0 drive

  Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
  I'll most likely be a regular here I come to buy a R100.

  I am having trouble with an external hard drive that I bought especially for the R100,
  It's a Lacie CD / DVD burner, model number: 300819EK.

  This unit can be powered by AC or by using the two usb ports.
  I use two usb ports.

  The R100 recognizes the Lacie, and in the Device Manager list, the drive is then
  in the list, but he is listed as a drive of Toshiba.
  I'm assuming that this disc of Toshiba external hard drive, you could buy for use
  with the R100.

  The Lacie drive works, but it seems preloaded the R100 CD / DVD
  pilots are contradictory in some way and is made using the player very touched and don't miss.
  He often gets 20% about a facility, then crashes.

  Is there a spare driver I can download that I can replace the toshiba
  drivers with?

  As if by having the Lacie 100% functional means there is obviously a
  How to overcome the problems.

  Hope you girls and guys can shed some light on this for me.
  Thank you.

  Hello, Larry

  You will be very happy if someone will be able to give you some explanations in this regard. I can tell you more: the fact is that this model is created and tested to work with Toshiba compatible external devices. Because of this, Toshiba built in all the necessary drivers in the operating system preinstalled. It should help the installation and also drive fast and quick recognition.

  This does not mean that you MUST use discs from Toshiba. Of course you can use what you want, but the only problem can be when you try to install the OS. Toshiba recovery image contains drivers for Toshiba drives and recovery procedure will work without any problem because the external sides will be immediately recognized.

  I recommend to visit the Lacie support page and check if you can find some driver it. Toshiba has nothing to do with it, if you use a third party product.

  Often, he gets 20% approximately of a plant then crashes sorry but I t did not understand what you mean with it and what you mean with 20%. Second part of your ad is very confusing and I really don t know what you mean.

  Good bye

• Portege R500-124: where to get DVD Reovery

  Hello

  Just got a Portege R500-124 and they wanted to establish themselves.

  They just asked asked on a recovery DVD, as none came with it.

  I have looked at the manual and see you can use F8 at startup upward to get to the recovery partition and do a complete reinstallation shape it.,.
  but it would also be good to have a recovery media...

  Is anyway to create this laptop?

  This came pre-installed with Windows XP PRo.

  Thank you

  Ken

  Hello

  Where did you come from?

  As far as I know the European notebooks from Toshiba are always equipped with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  However, try to contact the ASP in your country and ask if the restore CD is available for you Portégé R500.

  If this isn't the case, then I recommend to check your system and installed applications.
  Sometimes, there is an option to create a clean recovery CD/DVDs.
  In this case, you will need to burn this image of Toshiba on the DVD.

  Best regards

• Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

  Hello

  I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
  I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

  Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

  Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

  Thank you
  Markus

  AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
  I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

  But I found the solutions :)

• 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.

• Portege R700 - no autorun for CD/DVD and USB keys

  In my Portege R700 there is no way to make autorun works (for key USB and CD/DVD as well). CD/DVD and USB keys work perfectely, but not the autorun.

  I tried to use both the automatic repair of Microsoft and PowerToys, but the problem that it is still there. I also tried to change the registry, but it seems that the changes are not retained. I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
  Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance.
  Gerlando

  Hey,.

  > I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
  What utilities you have installed? Theoretically, they could block the autorun

  Normally if autorun doesn t work on XP, you can enable it in the Windows registry:
  Start > run > regedit

  The registry editor will open and go to:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies / Explorer
  Double-click the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and set the value of 91.

  Now he must navigate to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / Cdrom

  Double-click the AutoRun value and set the value to 1.

  Now restart your computer and try it again, usually autorun should work again.
  Additionally, make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed for XP (SP3).

• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.
  Concerning

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.

  "Normally I would go into the bios, change boot cd and do an upgrade inplace - right

  Dam thing does not start on dvd or usb.  only the hard drive.  It's a Dell with SAS T5500"

  Found a box that prevents the bios to booting from anything other than the hard drive in the BIOS, under Security.  Stupid because it still allows you to change the order of boot without any error message.

  Once I changed I could boot from the cd and fix corrupted files.

• Convert recovery Recovery DVD or USB HARD drive bootable disk

  Maybe someone can help me.

  * System: *.
  Toshiba Satellite L-300-1AY
  Model #: PSLB8E
  SN: Y8099024Q
  Currently using Win - Vista Home Premium

  I had to replace my HARD drive due to the failure; new drive works OK. I restored my SW to an old backup made by Acronis using a USB to start Acronis recovery and DRANK files on my external USB HDD.
  I have restored the drives C and D as well as WinRE.
  I want to reset the system to factory State and start all over again!

  Unfortunately, I can not do a factory using F8 restore, because this option is now not available to me more. F8 suggests restore from optical discs

  So I charge my DVD recovery disc I made a long time ago. to my surprise, the ODD does not read the disc. I can't read any CD or DVD, and I assume that my ODD is dead. I checked the DVD media on another computer: they are OK.

  On another system, I created a rescue with Parted Magic CD. My STRANGE drive could read this CD although very slowly: surprise!

  * My QUESTION *.
  * I would like to create a bootable USB drive where I want to do a factory restore without using my odd.*

  I have the Toshiba Recovery DVD discs, I have a copy of the SW recovery, which normally resides on the D drive, I have a copy of Windows re.

  Already, I have created a bootable USB key that I copied the contents of the Recovery DVD. Start on the key works fine but it gets stuck fast because it is waiting for drive (STRANGE) E to prepare. (Eventually!) seems obvious that these disc is intended to be used on a WEIRD drive.

  Is it possible I want to do?
  Thanks for any help or suggestion (other than the purchase of a new ODD!)
