• DVD drive is dead - l need to reinstall XP Satellite A105

  Hello world

  My wife went on vacation in Hawaii, and while she was missing, its Satellite A105 (is no more under warranty with a dead DVD player) started to malfunction to the point where XP where freeze at startup.

  I tried everything I could, but it wouldn't boot.
  So finally I took a DVD USB drive formatted the drive with killdisk and tried to use the recovery disk to at least get the operational unit. Problem is that the unit does not complete the installation I get the following error:

  Windows cannot find c:/bin/errordialog.exe

  I thought it was the disk so I cleaned it and still the same thing, since I was a student, I had access to XP pro from the msdn network so I got a copy and still the same error.
  I don't have a big enough USB flash drive, and the laptop doesn't have a floppy so I'm stuck with no way to restore the operating system... Needless to say that the wife is not happy with me!

  I managed to get Linux installed without problem, but my wife wants his laptop back to xp and will probably hate me until I can correct what I did. Help, please!

  TIA

  As far as I know it s is not possible to boot from the CD/DVD USB drive and reinstall the operating system by using this procedure.

  I would recommend therefore to replace the CD/DVD drive with a new, then boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  The CD/DVD drive is an essential device for laptop and it is worth having a what functions and trouble free work.

• Satellite A105-S361 wouldn't boot CDrom or PXE Linux

  Hello

  I just bought a toshiba satellite A105-S361, I deleted all partitions & installed Linux operating system. After a few days, I find that, although everything works perfectly, I can't boot from the CDrom or network (PXE). No matter how I change the settings in the BIOS, it is just try to boot from the CD or network, it goes straight to the startup hard disk!

  I was wondering if the hidden partition that toshiba use for its "express media player", has nothing to do with helping start the laptop cdrom/lan as well!

  Otherwise, no idea why I can't boot from them?
  I'm really worried how to fix my laptop, should I have to re - install any OS!

  Hello

  First of all, you have installed Linux on the unit and Toshiba doesn't support this OS.
  Toshiba delivered and designed only with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
  I don't know if your question has anything to do with LINUX on your laptop but if the function m worked with the Windows operating system, so it must be a Linux question.

• Satellite A105-s4254 - Windows XP Pro drivers

  Hello

  Caused by a virus, I recently had to re - install Windows XP Pro on my Satellite A105, lose a lot of my pilots in the process.

  I was able to find and reinstall most of them, but I still have no sound, cannot connect to a local network and don't have no "standby".

  I've looked everywhere and can't find the Satellite A105 drivers anywhere on the Toshiba site. I also tried to download Driver Detective, but it does not, either.

  Can someone help me find the correct drivers to download? Please?

• Satellite A105-S4274: need driver ethernet XP & screen is sometimes black

  I recently reformatted a Satellite A105-S4274.

  He has Xp SP3 I can't find the correct Ethernet driver.
  I installed all those on site pilot Toshibas to this model and stands still as no driver in the Device Manager.

  I also noticed that sometimes the computer goes black screen on me.
  Do not fall asleep, but go just black. Any ideas on what causes this?

  Maybe the driver problem?

  Hello

  Driver Ethernet means both: LAN or WLan.
  What device is already listed in device-> network cards Manager?

  If the LAN card is already listed then you need WLan card driver.
  If the wireless network card is listed then you need to install the LAN driver.

  With regard to the black screen.
  This happens if you touch the laptop for some time t n?
  S notebook my screen password if I put t touch for a while.
  I put the settings in Toshiba Power Saver-> screen and the screen turns OFF after 10 min.

• Satellite A105-s4064: where to find the Ethernet controller (LAN) driver?

  Hello, I was recently forced to reformat my Satellite A105-s4064 due to some virus problems, and now when I look at my device manager my Ethernet controller is not installed.

  I checked the main site and they don't have an Ethernet controller I've ever seen.
  I can just be giving on it or research in the field of evil, but anyone know where I could find the Ethernet Controller driver for my laptop?

  Thank you
  Chris

  First of all, it would be interesting to know which driver LAN do you need? XP or Vista

  Second, the A105 laptop is an American series. I know that because of the last digit in the model number. 5 at the end means that it is a series that was designed for the American market and you need to find the drivers on the Web from Toshiba site we!

  However, if I understand correctly, you have already activated the Device Manager and the network card is not in the network adapters. There is an unknown device. Am I wrong?

  Often the LAN chip must come from Realtek. Then maybe you should try to download the driver directly from the Realtek page.

• Satellite A105-S4064 - need drivers XP for LAN, video, Audio

  Hello

  I recently had to do a clean install of my Satellite A105-S4064 and have had problems to get the right drivers for it.

  On the Toshiba site, it lists only 4 drivers for XP for my model, even if that's what it came installed with. The video driver list and sound do not yet work for me.

  I need drivers for the modem, LAN, video, Audio, please.

  Any help would be a great help!

  Thank you

  Hello

  On the page of the Toshiba driver we you can find the right driver for XP graphics card.
  At the moment the page provides a display driver nVidia GeForce (v83.02, 19/01/2006)

  I also found a driver of his right. It s a Realtek audio driver.
  If you need a more recent version, then I recommend to visit the site Web of Realtek and download the newest one.

  But note; the XP SP2 operating system needs and before install you the audio driver you must first install the Microsoft Hotfixes; KB888111 and KB835221
  After the installation of these two patches, you can follow with another audio driver installation.

  It also seems that this notebook would support an Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection - 10/100 Base-TX Lan card
  So, you can visit the Intel page to get the right Win XP driver for this Lan chip.

  Good bye

• Toshiba Satellite A105-s2236 recovery problems

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-s2236, which crashed by some kind of virus.  I did a recovery for her disc, but he lost and must have the computer for the class.  I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on thinking that if I got the recovery disc, I would be able to go back.  Long story short, no recovery disk.  It came with windows Vista Home Basic and I have the product key.  What choices do I have?  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Contact Toshiba and see if they can send you another set of recovery disks (it can be a light load, but it's cheaper than a new operating system).  Some systems allow you to make the recovery partition recovery disks - I don't know if you can do what you are currently Setup, but it is possible - again once you need to talk to Toshiba about.  Other PC still allows a system reinstall recovery partition by pressing a certain combination of keyboard during startup - I don't know if this applies to you, but Toshiba knows.

  Another option is to borrow a disk to install Windows Vista genuine of ANYONE and allows it to proceed with the installation (they are not protected against copying).  You must use your own product key and that would determine which version of Vista has been installed.  Here's how to do a clean install with Windows Vista (which must be modified slightly if you use the discs recovery or partition of recovery of the manufacturer according to their instructions): http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp.

  I hope this helps.

• Re: Satellite A105 - seeing of power started flashing orange/battery not charging

  I have a satellite A105-4054, which gave excellent service. Yesterday, the orange started power light flashing and ceased to charge the battery. I had a second freshly charged battery, that I used instead and the power led still flashes in orange.

  I checked the Original Toshiba charger that came with the device, with a voltmeter and it shows 15 volts, which is correct. The laptop starts normally with a freshly charged battery, but it does not load when it is plugged and the power light flashes orange constantly. If I remove the battery and leave the laptop plugged in, continually amber power light flashes and nothing happens (no voltage). I'd be happy to run just the laptop on AC, but it is not possible now

  The toshiba power utility system icon, when the laptop is started on the new battery, flushing back and forth between the load and the battery, and the battery does not seem to charge. Previously, the power utility would show current alternative continuously when the unit is connected and the power light stay blue.

  I love the laptop, because he rendered services superb and would like to keep. All reasonable solutions, please?

  Thanks guys (and girls)!

  On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem, but after reading your detailed ad, I think there is problem with electronic power supply on the motherboard. Technicians with tools only special diagnostic can say with certainty what the problem is here.

  In my opinion there is not a lot you can do about it, and in this case, entire motherboard must be exchanged. If you want to contact the nearest authorized maintainer, explain the situation and I hope that they can tell you more.

• Satellite A105-S2194 acknowledges that half of the installed RAM.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A105-S2194 I bought in January 2007 from Walmart. It came with a single stick of PC - 4200 512 MB of RAM. Later this year, I bought a 1 GB of RAM PC-4200 (Crucial memory) key, so it has been read 1.5 G since then. Last week, I bought another stick of 1 GB of RAM (Kingston), which is PC-5300. Today, I installed the second stick, and when I started, it shows only 1 GB of memory in the BIOS and Ubuntu.

  If I take one of the sticks out (any), then it also shows 1 GB. This isn't a case of the PC-5300 is not not retro-compatible.

  Then I have three questions.

  1 is actually able to give me 2 (as advertised in different memory online configurators) GB the laptop?
  2. the fact that I mix PC-4200 and PC-5300 the reason why it does not show 2 GB now?
  3. If it's the fact that I mix speeds, should I buy another PC-4200 (which was originally installed) or another PC-5300 (I'm leaning toward the 5300, since that would mean only two brand new sticks as opposed to one that is 4 years old and a brand new).

  Thanks, and have a great day :)
  Patrick.

  In your case the problem is compatibility.

  Please visit THIS page and clck on detailed specifications. You will find all necessary information on your laptop and also part of the compatible memory modules number al.

  My answers to your questions:
  # Yes.
  # Probably
  # Use two modules with the same specifications. (PC-4200)

• Satellite A105-S2141 - software compatibility problem Modem region

  Hello!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2141 computer laptop bought in the United States. I am currently in a small country knowm as "Maldives" and unable to successfully connect and use the modem connection.

  The selection of region internal modem utility does not include the Maldives in the list and if I select a random country as "current location" I can connect only if I keep the speed of the modem at 2400. What should do? I tried the upgrade, but no uogrades are available. Other computers can connect normally on the same telephone line.

  Kindly advice. Is there another available modem which can be downloaded? Any other loophole?

  Post edited by: Luke_1

  Hello

  You don't need to use this utility select region of preinstalled modem.
  You can choose the Maldives using own settings of Windows.

  Choose Control Panel-> Phone & Modem Options->-> my position (Edit button)-> country (Maldives) dialing rules

  On the Modem tab, you can choose the modem you are using and can check the properties. Here, you can set the maximum port to a higher speed.

  Cheers and enjoy yourself on Maldives... big Islands... I wish that I would have enough time and money for the holiday he...

• Impossible to reinstall Windows on Satellite A105-S2141

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2141 I'm trying to reinstall Windows on after a bad virus infection. When I entered the Windows CD (OEM cd, not original) and it loads all the drivers it BSOD PAge_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area with 0 x 50.
  I ran several diagnostics hardware on the machine (memtest, hard drive tests, winstress) and nothing comes back bad. I put in a disk of Vista for sh * s and giggles and it loads fine.

  At this point, I think that it is a SATA driver that must be loaded with Windows. I can't find this driver anywhere
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=1373531& rpn = PSAA5U & modelFilter = A105-S2141 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663

  There is the link to the support page for this model of laptop. I've also updated BIOS firmware to the latest version, I tried the BIOS driver loaded on a disk without result.
  I am really confused and this laptop is no good for me at the moment.

  And what version of Windows you want to install?
