Satellite 2450-101-ide #0 error appears

Hello

I've been everywhere looking for an answer to my perhaps problem you guys here can help me. Im getting an ide #0 error when I start my laptop, essentially the original hard drive has become defective, I had to keep reinstalling windows on it because that recognize all a udden, it would just not my operating system.

Anyway, I recently bought a new hard drive and it was all works very well for about a week, then all of a sudden I turn on the laptop and no hard drive is detected at all and all I get is "error ide #0", I checked in the bios and its not reading the hard drive at all.

had no idea what that means or what he should do about it here, can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

Thank you

After a few exstensive read on this forum, I think it may have something to do with the size and the hard drive, it is a 120 GB fujitsu CA0653-B042, I feel that maybe it is not compatible or even great!

so... My question is if it's not compatible is it still possible to make it work in the first place, as this was very much a week?

Hello

This very mysterious case as you have already said the IDE #0 error is displayed because the BIOS can not recognize the HARD drive than claire.
But usually the BIOS should not recognize the HARD drive the first time because of the size of the HARD drive, it's strange why the HARD drive worked for a week

Anyway, in my opinion the 120 GB seems to be too big and so you should try another size maybe 60GB

PS: Have you tried to change the jumper on the HARD drive to another position?

    What to say dudea? ¦a? ... seems you have made a big mistake and purchased a bad CD/DVD drive.
    This error message is only displayed if the drive supports bad master\slave or c - salt settings!

    You should know that not all readers are compatible and can be used in the laptop!
    AFAIK the operating manual provides information on some readers supported!

  • To the Satellite 2450-101 DVD drive failure

    Hi guys again...

    I have another problem with my old laptop Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 which I hope you can help me with.

    It is curious that the drive is still listed in device as Manager works correctly.
    Would have to be a complete reinstallation to get it back again when the process would start over.

    Now during the boot process, a message appears at the top of the screen saying "error Eide...
    I bought a new replacement brown-box DVD - RW double layer drive PC World - a Sony IA2604H - and has installed but it's exactly the same thing but this time she is mentioned in as a 'CD-rom SCSI device' Device Manager... which is certainly not.
    In both cases, readers are completely dead and does not eject even trays.
    Needless to say, it's driving me crazy.

    You can boot from the bootable CD?

    If so, then try to remove the upperfilters and lowerfilters:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?ID=314060

    If you cannot start from the CD, then either:

    (1) the ODD or another component of the motherboard connector is defective / in bulk.
    (2) the original Teac ODD is defective, and the new Sony is not compatible (has the wrong master/slave settings)

    Hello

    Looks like your HARD drive is locked using a HARD drive password.
    I put t know why this password is necessary but if you don t know this password, then your HARD drive is no longer available and you will need to buy a new one.

    Eventually it s simply a matter of HARD drive and, therefore, the laptop crashed before this HARD drive password appeared so I think that you need a new HARD drive.

  • Satellite 2450-101: need last display driver

    Satellite 2450-101 with geforce4 420go - last display driver? Posted the: 7 May 06 18:12

    My laptop does not work the games 'Fear' or 'Call of cthulhu.
    The errors seem to relate to the display (fear gives an empty window, even if the sound is running, then crashes. Cthulhu says that it cannot find a suitable resolution).

    The latest display driver I can find is dated 36,48 Date 02/12/2003 version.
    It looks pretty old. Is no later versions available?

    I also see that there is an update of the BIOS for my laptop - is - this may have an impact on the problem of game?

    Anyone who manages to run these games on a similar specification?

    Hello

    The problem is that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are distinguished as the graphics of origin for example nVidia drivers.
    Original graphics drivers are designed for desktop use and you may not use these drivers, as they can damage the graphics chip for laptop. Graphics drivers from Toshiba support thermal protection and control the performance of the graphics card.

    As far as I know that this unit has been delivered with a NVidia GeForce4 420Go 32 MB graphics card. You can try to check out the other laptops with the same graphics card and try to use this driver.
    I also found a few topics on the omega drivers. It seems that this could be a good solution, but if you use other drivers, so you can do it at your own risk!

    Hi, my laptop hard drive is broken and I need a hard drive replacement for my aging * Satellite 2450-101 * urgent, but I can't find my mannual and another source model support for portable computers.

    I thought it was a * standard internal 2.5 "IDE * (and thinking about buying a digital _Western 250GB 2.5" IDE hard drive 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM, model _: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_), but I am not sure.
    If anyone knows? Help, please. Thank you very much!

    I think 120 GB maximum capacity too.

    If you have misplaced the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba site:

    I founded you can use a second HARD drive in the Bay to select if you need more disk space.
    Drive external HARD is also a good solution for more disk space.

  • Satellite 2450-101 How do wirleless?

    Thanks in advance.

    You want to connect to the WLan router wireless?

    Well, as far as I know this laptop is an oldie and the WLan card was optional.
    This means that not all Satellite 2450-101 were equipped with the internal WLan card

    If your laptop was not equipped with the WLan card, then I recommend to use an external solution such as WLan USB stick which supports the WLan standard even as your WLan router.

I am currently using a PCMCIA card but want to spend money with Toshiba to get a good onboard solution. I called Toshiba who say that he is not a slot in my laptop...

Honest answer please... can I mount a mini-pci card... is the 3300 OK, and how do I join the cables (if this is difficult, I won't)...

    Hello

    I found information that your device is ready for the Mini PCI Wireless card. As you know on the wireless card there are two connectors that are marked of PRINCIPAL and auxiliary normally a white cable goes to the ESSENTIAL and a black to the auxiliary voltage

    Sorry, but I can't tell you exactly what wireless card will be the best for you. In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. I'm sure they can give you correct information, which is compatible with your device and how much it will cost.

  • How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite 2450-101?

    I have a Satellite 2450-101 and it seems that my HARD drive is already damaged. I would like to boot from the CD/DVD drive, but it won't start? It has a power on password too and I want to remove it but I can not enter or it does not penetrate into the BIOS settings?

    What can I do? Any suggestions?

    Am I entitled? You want to remove the BIOS password?
    Unfortunately, something like this is not possible! If you n t the BIOS password you can not delete it! Only the ASP in your country could do this!

    So if you want to remove it, contact the authorized service provider!

    But you want to boot from the CD! Am I wrong? Why you t n try to use the F12 key to get the start menu?
    After mobile power press F12 and you should be able to choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up! But the CD/DVD must be inserted before using this option.

  • Satellite 2450-101 after the 60 GB HARD drive upgrade, made only to see 30 GB

    Hello world

    I'm new to this forum. I own a 2450-101, a little old man, real it´s, but still a very nice PC. Harman-Kardon louspeakers make it very useful for music.

    I would switch the HD, so I installed a new 60 GB (the maximum taken in charge, I said) and used the recovery CD.

    Everything worked perfectly, but it seems that only 30 GB can be seen by Windows. I heard, that I might need to update the BIOS. Mine is version 1.50.

    After a long search through sites Toshiba and the Inetrnet, I can only find updates the BIOS for the new models...

    only reference I've seen is on this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07, but

    Yet once I don't find Bios for my model.
    Please any help would be really appreciated ;)

    Hello

    You are right. This laptop is a bit old, but very nice. It provides performance enough for someone in need of this laptop only for everyday use.

    As for you statement about 60 GB of HARD drive. Well, I m a bit confused.
    How did you check the size of the HARD drive and why you say that it recognize only 30 GB?
    How did you check that? And you are sure that you have installed and 60 GB HARD drive?

    I recommend to check the size in disk management!

    With regard to the BIOS;
    The BIOS for this laptop is on the Toshiba driver page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    There, you have to search in archive Archive Satellite Satellite 24xx Satellite 2450-101.
    As far as I know the BIOS 1.50 is available on the page!

  • SD card reader supports only 1 GB cards satellite 2450-101

    I just bought a Kingston 2 GB SD card. Despite many efforts, I can't get my 2450-101 to format 1 GB storage on this map.
    Someone at - it of this experience and a way around it?

    I found in googel Satellite 2450-101 specifications and it seems that the card reader can manage only the SD card without support MMC. Additional not all card format SD is supported and therefore in my opinion the 2 GB format SD card is great

    But as mentioned, I don't know if this utility works on the Satellite 2450 m.

    Hello

    My first idea was a malfunction of the HARD drive, because the HARD drive is connected to the controller of DIE #0.
    Especially the message if the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive!
    Try to access the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is listed and has been set to primary IDE.

    If the BIOS talk you about this issue means that it s is not a software problem, but a hardware problem.
    Try to format the HARD disk on the other computer and check if it of possible to reuse the HARD drive in the laptop.

    If this does not help, I guess that the HARD drive needs to be replaced :(
