Satellite 2410-303 CD ROM does not

Help, please.

Have this old laptop with XP and the official restoration of cds.
Need to format, but the cd rom does not work.

Obtained in the Bios and there is no option to boot from USB (flash or external CD-ROM)
How can I initialize and format choices Bios gives me are HDD, floppy, CDROM (notworking), LAN.

Please help me.

Thank you
John

Hello

The start of the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible because the BIOS does not support this. The BIOS supports booting from USB FDD (diskette).

If you want to install Windows XP on this unit without the use of the CD/DVD drive, then you should copy the i386 to the HARD disk folder (folder i386 disk Win P is).
Then you could start by using a boot disk and run the winnt.exe which is placed in the i386 folder.
This would start the Windows XP installation and installation of the OS.

  • Satellite 1410-303-new CPU does not work

    Hi all
    MI name Fabio, I'm an Italian boy, sorry for my bad English...

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite 1410 303, I buy a new processor (Pentium 4 mobile 2 GHz 512 k 400bus) but it does not work.
    When I turn on my laptop, I hear the system Speaker beep contiunos that never stop until I turn off the system.
    I clear CMOS, and then I spend my BIOS with the latest 1.40 version.

    Do you have a solution?

    Thanks for the help

    Bye!

    Hello

    Have you installed the same CPU than before, or have you installed a different CPU?

    I checked the manual of the Satellite 1410 and he normally equipped with an Intel Celeron CPU processor and in my opinion, it is the reason why it doesn't work.
    Upgrading the CPU is not being official and it seems that the motherboard and BIOS don't support this CPU.

    My satellite 2410-303 will not read my product recovery CD.
    When I turned off my pc with the drive in, I get messages saying that the disk is not formatted correctly.

    Hello

    It of weird, is your CD the other disc drive? Have you tried to read your cd of restoration with another computer? If the same error occurs on another computer system, then the cd is probably defective.

    Just a question: I guess you want to recover your machine, Don t you?

  • Satellite A200 - 23P - mechanic of DVD - rom does not

    I'm sorry for my English in advance this topic! -Thank you

    I have a very big problem with my engraver of DVD (RM).
    I bought SAT A200 - 23P three weeks ago.
    The Win VISTA operating system has been installed. DVD - rom worked well.

    If I have installed Win XP to the second partition on my HARD drive (to install the disk with driver for sata drive in nlite) and installed all the drivers and utilities for Toshiba laptop, I found that my DVD-rom is not working while I press eject button.

    Mechanic of DVD is not responding to eject in XP and not even in the BIOS!
    It is interesting, mechanic DVD is the detection in BIOS, detects in XP, XP operating system votes - mechanic to the DVD works properly - its fable.

    However, if I have installed XP on the second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
    I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
    I now have XP only, even if Vista is on the first partition - I didn't delete it.

    Do you think that the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
    I think that, given that the DVD-rom does not in the BIOS - HW error.

    But is very strange, if I install XP from mechanic to the DVD and then close is, DVD - rom does not...:)

    If I manually open and insert the CD, the DVD does not (diode led no blink, just if I turn off the computer, led blinked once).

    PLS help me someone-

    Thank you!

    Hi Michal

    Your question is very strange, I mean the number of CD/DVD drive

    The fact is that the readers of CD/DVD eject function functions should any operating system has been installed on your laptop. It has nothing to do with your software on the HARD drive.

    So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not XP preinstalled OS?  :|

    My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a bad connection between the laptop and the drive. However the problem could be related to the hardware problem too

    As you see it s not easy to say what's wrong exactly, we can only speculate.

    Now some details about your installation of OS double.

    You cannot choose between Windows XP and Vista because Vista boot manager was obliterated during the installation of Win XP.
    This happened to me also. I installed Win XP on my Satellite and could not start Vista.

    The solution was simple; I used another original DVD of Vista (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. Vista has renewed the Boot Manager, and then I was able to boot Vista.

    Then I downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
    This tool can change the Vista Boot Manager settings. I've edited and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.

    That s it!

  • Satellite 2410-303-display flashing, update the BIOS

    HY!

    I am the owner of the Satellite 2410-303 series. Display does not work very well. I do not know it is because of drivers (even me, I installed the drivers by default) or maybe it's because the LCD screen. Maybe poor contact or something like that? I don't want to take my turn for the service center more because they don't know how to solve the problem. Only what they say is: «I'm sorry, but you have to buy a new...» »

    In speaking of the bios it is 1.20 in 2002. I want to download 1.40 (think it's most recent) but do not know where to download... Please help because this is my first tour & I want to revive his soul... THX.

    Hello

    I always thought that this forum is serious, but you try to make us laugh reading your ad.

    Sorry, but your comment about service is for me really ridiculous. Do you really think that all the issues can be fixed and nothing should be exchanged? I respect your opinion, but I think you're not qualified to talk about. Or maybe you're a technician material. If so, then I feel sorry for my comment.

    Anyway, if you have a display problem trying to connect to external monitor and see exactly what is happening. It will be interesting to know how starts flickering.

    I need a list of the device compatible with my laptop. In the manual, this information doesn't exits.

    Thank you very much

  • Satellite 2410-303: Question about software update and service in the northern part of Cyprus

    First of all, I have a Satellite 2410-303 and I hoped that I can update my toshiba but there is no my toshiba model name in the Download Center. It has 2410-303 in the Download Center and I install the update on my toshiba. This will damage my toshiba?

    Secondly, I recorded my toshiba. I can access my account, then I'll download center update but my toshiba model is not correct (Magnia 550 d isn't my toshiba). I do not have other updates. How can I solve this problem?

    Finally, studying at University of the Eastern Mediterranean in Northern Cyprus. I am waiting for this area, but I could not find any point of service. Is there any point of service in the northern part of Cyprus?

    Thank you very much for interested in my topic and your comments!

    The simple driver update will not damage your laptop but the incorrect BIOS.
    Anyway, Sam is right. The S in the first step means satellite. This is why you must use drivers for 2410-303. These are the correct drivers and they should work on the laptop.

    If you are looking for the right service partner I would say visiting this site:

    You will find a database with ASP together all over the world.

  • Satellite L755 - CD/DVD drive does not

    I own Satellite L755 and the dvd rom does not work (do not read disks and show on the disks in the computer).

    When I go into the Device Manager in windows it displays error code: 39 which means that the driver is defective.

    It is not the first time its happening.
    It happens after a few months and I need to back up and do the system recovery each time.

    Is there a way to fix this without making the system recovery each time?

    Hello

    Try this workaround:

    Go to Device Manager and remove the CD/DVD drive entry (mark and press DELETE)

    Then start the registry and remove the filters above and below the following key:

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

    This work Satellite 2410-303 2 x 512 MB (1 GB max) DDR1 266 MHz (PC2100). Today is not easy to buy that RAM, and 1 GB is not.

    Maybe someone can help me and find out what effect update to give a new BIOS.

    Good bye

    Hello!

    Well buddy, new BIOS doesn t improve the maximum capacity of RAM so it s not necessary to update the BIOS.
    In addition, the Satellite 2410-303 supports up to 1 GB of RAM. If you already have the maximum RAM capacity.

    In your case I would update the BIOS only if you have some problems with the laptop. If you can find t a change log on the Toshiba site is not available.
    Last but not least never touch a running system. ;)

  • Can I go by Satellite 2410-303 with 120 GB of HARD drive

    Hello
    I have a Satellite 2410-303 (acquired in 2002) with a 30Gb HD (MK3018GAS, 4200 RPM).

    I want to upgrade this drive with a Toshiba one with 120 GB (MK1234GAX, 5400 RPM). These HDs have the same type of bus, so it should be no problem with that, but how do I know if the ability will be recognized by the BIOS, and if there is no heat problem?

    Thank you for your response.

    Laurent

    Hello

    The heat should t be a problem, but the size of the HARD drive. It s a really huge difference between 30 and 120 GB.
    In my opinion, the BIOS will not recognize the HARD drive, but I can't say for sure
    So I recommend that you test it HARD and please we report the results

    Someone has updated the old 1700-400 Satellite with 80 GB HARD drive, and it works!
    Maybe your 120 GB HARD drive will work also successfully crossed ;) finger

    Thank you
    Sani

    Hello

    > This problem start after a storm in my area some time ago.

    Because other devices don't work properly and because procedure didn t get it back help you solve this problem, I think that the problem is related to the hardware malfunction possibly that the motherboard was hit by lightning, which would explain the problems

    I think you should ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country to check the motherboard.

    But in my opinion, that the warranty does not cover the issues of environmental impact maybe your household insurance could help you

  • Satellite 2410-303: upgrade of posibilities

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 2410 303 and I want to increase the RAM from 256 MB to 1Gig and 30 at least 60Gig HARD drive.

    If I understand the user manual that the 2410 can be up to 512 MB (2x256Mb) but the retail sites of the State of the RAM up to 1 GB...

    Also, what size HARD drive can go up to and how to change it?

    Dean

    Hello

    If the site Web of the specification of the RAM up to 1 GB, you can install 1 GB of RAM in your model. See the attached link:

    HTTP://UK.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/CGI-BIN/TOSHIBACSG/SELECTED_PRODUCT_OPTION.JSP?SERVICE=UK&PRODUCT_ID= 21051 & DISC_MODEL = 0

    To upgrade the HARD drive, it should be no problem. You can insert each HARD disk (2.5 (2,5")") in your model, no matter how big it is (must only be supported by the operating system).
