Re: Lack of CD-ROM on Satellite A100

Dear all,

Hello again. I have problems with my CD-rom. I use a Satellite A100 with 2048 RAM.

The problem I have is that when I try to play a CD/DVD drive is not at all. Even when I look in my computer, the drive is missing from there.
What I do need to update the drivers or is it necessary to replace the unit?

Hello

If you use WXP try to solve by using the method described under http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/EN-US/

With Vista, check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ8101LA0000R01.htm

Good bye

    My satellite A100-049 can't see my CD rom drive, it will not automatically play all discs, and when I double click on a shortcut to a program that uses a disc says "couldn't find any cd-rom drive.

    I tried updating the driver but I already have the most up to date. It was fine yesterday, until I installed Norton 360 - I don't know if this has anything to do with it. My operating system is vista Home premium.

    I really need help quickly I go to University in less than 3 weeks and the cd rom drive is vital for my class.

    Hi Michael

    It s very strange that your CD/DVD drive not working anymore after installing Norton 360. To me, it seems that Norton 360 has changed some registry keys and so the reader is malfunctioning.

    I recommend to remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
    Then, restart the laptop. After the restart new BONE windows should recognize the new hardware (CD/DVD drive) and must install it again.
    Then start the registry and delete the upper and lower filter values from this registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then restart and try again!

    Good luck and congrats dude ;)

  • Satellite A100-593: should I install 64-bit or 32-bit Win Vista version

    A100-593 Centrino Duo T2300, 1 GB of RAM FSB 533

    I have already installed the 32-bit version. Everything works fine.

    But I read 64-bit can give problems with portable computer equipment (lack of 64-bit drivers)

    http://www.tech-recipes.com/microsoft_vista_tips1426.html

    on the laptop is marked vista capable, but that does not mean that pilots are ready for 64-bit.

    where is the constant pleasure you receive error messages that a certain hardware driver is not signed. Or you can not burn a dvd or listen to your sound card...

    Someone out there with positive ratings...?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A100-593 shipped with an Intel Core Duo (Yonah) CPU T2300 1.66 GHz.
    According to information I found on this page does not support the CPU 64-bit (EM64T)
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core
    I think that it is better to use the 32-bit version

    However, the fact is that Windows Vista is not official on the market right now.
    In this case there is no assurance that Vista OS will work without any problems on the laptop.

  • Error recovery on Satellite A100

    Hello people!

    Well, I've had my Toshiba Satellite A100 for almost 1 year, and I have these non-removable spyware and ad-aware. But besides that, I want to reformat my pc but I can't. When I choose for the boot device cd-rom drive, loading RAMDisk image, it comes up with an instant message and then he disappears, but I noted to see F6 and so I rebooted the DVD again and I spammed F6. And this is what happens:

    "Setup could not determine the type of computer you have, or you have chosen to manually specify the type of computer.
    Select the type from the following list, or select "other" If you have a device support disk provided by the manufacturer of your computer.

    ACPI Multiprocessor PC
    ACPI Uniprocessor PC
    Advanced Configuration and power interface (ACPI) PC
    NPS Uniprocessor PC
    NPS Multiprocessor PC
    Standard PC
    Others. "

    I thought, if I use the mechanical system or something else, can I just reformat with that entirely and then I use the toshiba recovery cd and I think I have the windows xp cd. Can I install windows xp from there and then go down all of the toshiba utilities download site and install them? Or does install the drivers to display with the recovery cd or I see nothing and I will stuff my pc up to? Lol usually whenever I have try sumfin to help my pc I usually have the wreck it. So I've always guaranteed, so I might even go back to there. But I would appreciate if you guys can help.

    Thank you

    Hello Adam

    Honestly, your ad is so complicated and confusing for me I will just try to explain how you can install OS on your Satellite A100.

    If you want to install the operating system, you can do on two tracks:
    -Sent using recovery DVD set in ODD and turn off. Turn it back on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a short period and the ODD is obliged first to start device. When the facility starts just follow the on-screen menu.
    -You can use the Microsoft facilities (full version) CD. Install the OS and after that you need to install all the drivers, tools and utilities manually. All the stuff you can find on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads

    Before you format drive HARD trying to create own Tools & Utilities CD. This option you will find Toshiba Assist Protect & Fix tab.

    All that s! If I misunderstood something please post again.

    Hello

    I posted this already in another view about a similar BIOS problem.

    To me, it seems that something was wrong during the process of updating the BIOS, and if you're lucky, the flashing of the ROM BIOS might help you.

    As far as I know that you would need a BIOS version of special rescue and the drive to reflash the module ROM that you do not and therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    This isn't a real solution that you expect, but it s an advice how to get a solution
    This is why I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop

  • Satellite A100 - recovery does not work

    Hello

    I own a Satellite A100 with XP that I want to format my HD and reinstall everything from the original recovery disc supplied with my pc. When I inserted the recovery disk and restart, press F12 and boot from the CD/DVD, it load ramdrive and then the screen turns white and he finally boot from the HD. So I changed the boot sequence in the Bios so that it boot first from CD/DVD and second HD thinking that way he will have no choice but to boot from the recovery disc. Now what is happening, is it load Ramdrive, the screen shuts off and restarts the boot sequence. Loop on this sequence: ramdrive, virgins and restart... and never stops!

    Can someone help me please?

  • The Satellite A100 created recovery, but DVD does not start

    I'm trying to reload a Satellite A100 with the DVD that was created when I started the laptop when he bought the news of recovery 11 months ago.

    I changed the boot order so that the DVD is first and when you restart, the drive runs at high speed, so it works

    No option is presented to be able to boot from this drive (as the usual "press a key to reboot from DVD")

    If I press F8 when booting I get a list of the options-led FIX YOUR COMPUTER that is highlighted.
    I then press ENTER and get a message "Windows is loading files".
    The system recovery options are then displayed, keyboard, layout, then the opening of the session, what I do using an administrator account.
    I am then presented with a screen with 6 system recovery options
    -Startup Repair
    -System restore - restore to an earlier point in time
    -Restoration of Windows complete PC (from backup)
    -Windows memory diagnostic
    -Command Promt
    -Restoriing the full Windows operating system

    There are 2 buttons {color: #000000} * low _S_hut * {color} and * _R_estart *.

    When I select the last option all I get is another screen with the message
    The complete oprtating of Windows System Restore *.

    If the pre-installed files are damaged you can use the product Recvoery DVD - Rom to restore (which is what I'm trying to do)
    A caveat against the loss of data is also included and then the OK button which, when clicked on resturns me to the previous screen without action
    If I select shutdown or restart it's there for that and boots from the hard drive.
    The disc is not damaged, I can copy him on system, then one more

    Can someone tell me how to start and recover from this drive?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. I'll try to be clear now:

    -Via recovery CD/DVD, you CAN NOT repair already preinstalled the operating system. Using Recovery CD/DVDs, you can make clean OS install only. Please note that, prior to installation, the procedure begins old BONE is removed.
    -Reading your ad, I think that you try to use Microsoft Vista of origin and not the recovery image options because when you start the recovery procedure is no different 6 menus

    Can you please tell me what is the problem with your Satellite A100? What are the files that you are trying to fix? What happens at the start of your laptop?

  • Satellite A100-906: Express player media use the reinstallation of the operating system

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Satellite A100-906. I did NOT know about what express Media Player recovery cd's and I've never used it. But now I want to know what's the point of use.

    In any case I had to format my laptop and I have used the recovery cd. So now I've read that if I want to run the express media player I must first of all, insert the express media player cd stop button of my laptop and then use cd/dvd to start it.

    The problem is that I find in win xp with a Windows Media Player. Something go wrong with the format (using the recovery cd)? I had to first install the express media player? and then format and reinstall xp?

    If that's the problem, I, at this stage, to be able to install express media player without losing my data? I expect an answer. I hope you'll forgive my ignorance :).

    Best regards
    Harris

    P.S. when I boot from the media player recovery cd express I get three options 1) crash installation 2) uninstall 3) delete all partitions. So did I express media player installed?

    Hello

    So you're a bit confused. Am I wrong?
    If you want to start the Express media player you n t need to insert the CD of express media player!
    Express media player must be installed on the HARD drive!

    You have recovered the laptop with your recovery CD Toshiba but didn't install the Express media player since the EMP CD!
    This is false.

    Usually the Media Express Recovery CD drive must be run before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.
    Cannot install the Express media player after using the Toshiba Recovery CD!

    So first to run the CD of Express media player and then run the restore CD!

  • Satellite A100 PSAARA - Boot Fail

    Model - satellite A100 PSAARA-055007
    OS - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
    BIOS Version 5.10

    Problem.

    The wil laptop no bootinto windows.
    POST returns full and then fails to start windows. In the upper left corner of the screen, it shows TBX error.
    The lack of loading, he doesn't want to load windows normally or in SafeMode etc...

    I tried each of the options without success. Some research has shown that need to Flash the bios with the latest version, because it may be damaged.
    I downloaded the latest version of the bios that is V6.00. I extracted the file on another laptop. It burned to a bootable dvd and then tried to run the .exe program, but he could not run. This is due to the program who need to run under win32. I can't run this file on windows because it does not load windows. I have no recovery disk either...

    My questions are

    The bios goes to work to solve the tbx error flashing?
    If so how do I Flash the bios from a bootable dvd?
    If this is not the case, can someone advise please how to do this.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I think that new OS install should help you solve this problem.
    If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disc, then try to start from the common drive of Microsoft.
    You can also try to boot from a live CD as PartBE or WinPE
    Google for it. This allows you to create a live CD that will start the unit without installation of the OS.
    This allows you to access the files on the HARD drive.

  • Strange burning question on Satellite A100

    Hello!

    I just stumbled upon a curious problem. When I burned a DVD with Nero, it worked fine. 2nd one worked but after the movie about 38 minutes the film just stops playing and consciously light on the DVD recorder. I have already tried Afterburner film and burned another but the two stop playing after 38 minutes (he burned them with another computer and burner: the movies worked).

    But then, I noticed many errors in windows journal:
    Block damaged in the device \Device\CdRom0.

    And another thing I noticed: the s of DVDs were burned at 6 x, not the speed of 8 x burner for this laptop supports.

    Does this mean the DVD burner is broken?

    With respect,

    Hello

    In my gear, it is usually caused by a scratched or damaged cd. Try to clean it up and see if it helps. If it works fine with some discs then it s not the reader.
    Some readers don t accept all media. Many CD and DVD is not compatible, and so the drive burns the files not properly on the CD or DVD.

    You can see the different media for similar problems.
    A little tip: in the manual, you should find a list of compatible DVD and CD. I think you should try to burn files or movies on one of the mentioned media. Maybe it will work.

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba driver you will only find the Vista drivers.
    But don t worry the A100 many different A100 series notebooks were shipped with the same hardware specification.
    I simply recommend you test different drivers from different series Satellite A100 and Equium A100.

    Why you n t create a second partition on the laptop and install the XP operating system as a second operating system.
    In this case, you can use the two BONES.
