  Hello

  First of all, you should check in Device Manager if the CD/DVD drive can be recognized correctly. If there is no yellow exclamation, then the software (driver) does not run correctly!

  In such cases, it s advisable to remove the ODD (CD/DVD drive) Device Manager and restart the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize and must initialize the disk again.

  Please check first!
  Best regards

• DVD - RW DVR-K16S can no longer write to CD.

  Please I'm looking for a solution for my dvd rom DVD - RW DVR-K16S who has stoped writing on CD. When I started writing something on a CD, a message appears saying ERROR WRITE. Now I'm confused. I don't know if it's the cd rom that is damaged or there is a software problem.

  I tried a burn with a different software. All proved futile, the drive can read DVDs and CDs, the only problem is burning.

  Remove the device from Device Manager, then restart the unit. After this check in the Device Manager, and if everything is ok check disk properties and activate the CD writing.

  Test again.

• Windows Vista does not recognize my DVD player. It is a Pioneer DVD - RW DVR - 110 d ATA Device.

  I looked at the information system and noted that there is a device error.  After checking for a solution online, this is the message I got:

  Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver has encountered a problem when he tried to run. The problem code is 39.

  Hello

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

• Satellite L20-183 broken BIOS - Linux

  I have a problem with may Satellite L20-183. When I try to install the operating system Linux (Mandriva Linux 2006 official) after checking the HDD, cd... I see a broken 'BIOS' massage and only what I can do is to restart the computer.
  Why is this happening and what can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I'm don't know if you know, but Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system.
  In this case there is no information on these issues of Linux on Toshiba laptops.
  I have a tip for you. Why not install windows on your device and use a Knoppix Linux? You n t need to install Linux on the HARD drive. It starts from the live DVD and you can work with Linux as with Suse Linux.

  Good bye

• Satellite L20-183 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183. I would like to change the hard drive TOSHIBA MK6032GSX to a larger and more rapid as: WD 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 Mb SATA2 Notebook WD3200BEKT.
  It will be compatible or should I buy SATA 1 HDD 5400 RPM?

  Hello

  Satellite L20 works with disk HARD SATA 1 and maximum capacity, with which it was delivered was 100 GB but I think 320 should not be problematic.
  RPM MAX was 5400 then I think you should buy the HARD disk with the same number of TURNS.

• Satellite L20-183: PCMCIA Pixelview Tuner does not work with 720 * 480

  I have the following problem:
  I am the owner of a

  Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183 (1.6 Celeron, 512 MB Ram, Ati radeon Xpress Mobile X 200)

  I just bought a
  Mobile TV Tuner PCMCIA (Prolink) Pixelview PlayTV havig the following specifications:
  http://www.ProLink.com.tw/English/products...ixelView%20Play TV%20Mobile.htm

  as you can see it it says he works at the frame size PAL: 720 x 576; NTSC: 720 x 480

  which is true, but not with my laptop
  It is functional on a laptop HP Celeron 2.8 Mhz, 512 Ram and Ati 9100 IGP

  on my laptop, it only works to the minimum framerate 320 * 288 (as I remember), but then the passage to the maximum framerate of 720 * 480 there are artifacts (horizontal lines) on the right size of the screen.

  I say it again on a similar notebook (talk configuration) with ATI 9100 IGP it works perfectly at maximum framerate.

  Someone told that can a card linked to overaly settings video problem, but it unlikely for me as long as lon semms as he worked on another laptop with ATI IGP 9100, which seems to be older than my video card. (By the way all the parameters and options are the same on two laptops)

  SOMEONE HELLLPPPPP!

  Hello
  Check the BIOS on the toshiba. BIOS in the video settings, there should be a possibility to change the PAL or NTSC. If the value is NTSC I see problems that you described. So as if you right-click on the desktop and select Properties, click on the tab on the far right, a last and properties then go to advanced. Under these properties, it must have an option to NTSC or PAL. Make sure that PAL is thus selected here and see if that solves the problem. I hope this helps.

• Can I use SATA HDD on Satellite L20-183?

  I have a satellite L20-183 with a P - ATA hard drive connector. Is it possible to change the connector to a SATA hard? Where can I find such a connector for my model?

  Thank you.

  When you open the cover of the HARD drive, you will see there is not a lot of room inside and behind the HARD drive, there is a single cm only. You need this place for HDD disconnect with this adapter so I think there is no way to put the HARD drive inside or out of the place.

  In any case, I'm 100% sure that these updates is not possible.
