Satellite 300-214: SD-R2002 drive recognition failure

Using a 300-214 Satellite, which has developed a problem where it won't recognize anything in the modular Bay.
It wasn't a problem, when I could select RUN and view the content.
Now the SD R2002 double DVD/CD even cannot be run from this.
It starts to spin when a disc is inserted, but the computer then comes with a driver failure.
I reinstalled the driver but he then said that it lacked the mscdex.exe in BACK.
I download and responsible but not good.
Have you tried an external CD drive on the machine, but the computer will load the software but does not recognize the hardware.

I want to use for recovery back to the original state, but of course, this requires a cd player.
Any ideas on how to get any computer to recognize the drive in the modular Bay, or a way to use the recovery?

Hello

The Satellite 300-214 is an oldie.
On the Toshiba driver page I don't think a lot of drivers for this laptop.
However, I assume that you are using Windows 98 and you want to use the drive in DOS mode. Am I wrong?
Well, you suggested that you reinstalled the driver but it lacked the mscdex.exe.
First of all, you need the right mscdex.exe and two files autoexec.bat and config.sys should have good entries.

For example config.sys:
LASTDRIVE = Z
DEVICE = [PATH] [drivers] .sys/d: [device name]

[Drivers] placeholder for the device driver name (i.e. CD524.sys)
[device name] the internal name of the CD-player (i.e. mscd001)

For example the autoexec.bat file:
c:\dos\mscdex.exe/d: [device name] / l: [drive letter]

[device name] - the same entry as in the config.sys file

I would recommend checking the google for more detailed information.
You will find lots of useful Web sites.

  • Satellite 300 - 1BZ - 2nd installation drive

    Hello

    I want to install a 2nd hard drive in my laptop (my lappie has 2-Bay hard drive) so I started to do some research, but I'm a little confused as to the type, I need to buy. One who moved with my laptop is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K 250 (250GB) but looking at the Hitachi site, there are several different versions of this model. The version number that came with my laptop is a Hitachi HTS542525K9SA00.

    I really want to install a 500 GB drive in 2nd Bay, but even though I know that the drive that I need is a SATA I'm not for sure if connections in the HARD drive Bay are of a standard type. I looked at all the specs on the Toshiba site on my laptop but they don't give me much information.

    Looking at the manual of the A300 to the 2nd hard drive Bay is not even mentioned and from Toshiba Web site lists only the options for external hard drive that I find a little confused, considering that my lappie has 2 internal hard drive bays!

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    You usually have a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    The connectors must be the same.

    I saw another thread regarding the second location of HARD drive and it seems that your laptop is supported by this connector. If this controller is available, it must be a SATA controller.

  • Satellite 3000-214 driver needed

    Hi all

    I'm looking for drivers for my * S3000 *. It is a German model of 2001 GR.
    The Toshiba driver support isn't the Sattelite S-supported model.
    Where can I find them. Unfortunately I can not find my driver CD more. But I need the drivers after
    my new installation of Win XP.

    Thank you

    null

    Hello

    It is very interesting theory that you wrote in your post but I must disappoint you.
    You are completely wrong!

    As a first step, you do not have any laptop's model. Simply satellite * 3000-214 *.
    And secondly This oldie is also supported, but if you have old laptop model, in that it makes sense that it may be entered in the ARCHIVES.

    Then, visit support page Toshiba new http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and by-products type choose ARCHIVE. So search satellite 30xx and you will find.

    ;)

    Good day!

  • Satellite S3000-214: HD and RAM upgrade

    I want to upgrade a Satellite S3000-214 with a new hard drive and RAM.
    Anyone know how I can upgrade the HD? It is currently only 20 GB.
    About the RAM, I tried to upgrade before but abandoned after Misco sent me upgrades wrong a few times. Does anyone know a supplier who could have a sales team could sell me the good memory?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It is possible to upgrade the HDD up to 30 GB.
    The BIOS should recognize this format without any problem. You can use a simple 2.5 bus master IDE HDD.

    It is also possible a memory upgrade for max 1024 MB

  • Satellite A300D - 214 PSAHCE - overheating and stuttering

    Hello world

    I am using Toshiba Satellite A300D-214 and I have serious delay problems. I can't play a game properly. I said that I have these questions for the technical department, but they said it's because of the dust.

    After 2 hours of cleaning, I encounter the same problems, but they said I have to pay 50 lire (which is almost ~ $ 25) to check if there is a problem in my computer, even if I have the warranty, and if it's graphics card, I have to buy a new graphics card as the warranty has expired.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    Which driver of video card you are using?
    Toshiba GPU driver should be used because this driver supports the thermal protection that protects the GPU from damage.
    Use of other drivers can lead to higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature.

  • Satellite 3000-214 - Ctrl key keyboard does not

    Hello

    I tried to clean the keyboard disassemble all the keys to it and clean the grates, without success.

    Can someone tell me where I can get a suitable keyboard: i in Germany.
    It must be an original Toshiba keyboard or is it possible from another manufacturer?
    How can I remove the keyboard of the laptop? What I have to open the case, or is it possible to get it out with a screwdriver or something?

    Thx for any suspicion!

    Best regards.
    Ting

    Hello

    You must use the original Toshiba keyboard that is cared for and compatible with this laptop.
    All parts and devices, you can buy the Toshiba authorized partner in your country. The database complete with ASP in the world, you can find on the page of European support of Toshiba.

    Usually, if you want to remove the keyboard to remove first the thin cover above the keyboard.
    There are two screws holding the keyboard. After the withdrawal of these two screws, you will be able to set the keyboard.
    But be careful; the keyboard is connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

  • Problems with the PX1267E - 1 32 300 GB external HARD drive

    I got the toshiba (px1267E - 1 32) (300 GB external usb drive)
    At some point I plugged the usb taken in upside down (for a bad reason he did) and of course, it did not work.
    Hmm, I thought that is burned.

    But when is reconnected it quickly he was again detected only on mode slow usb 1.1. I guessed the drive inside was a standard drive, so I removed the drive from the case but. When I put in a different usb transmission case, it is detected and also the correct size (although its more than 200 MB). But it is not formatted.

    I gues the chip of the original envelope has a kind of special way of partitioning. But the data is still on the disk and if I connect it to the orriginal chip sound as good. But still the speed slow usb. Is there a way to read the data by using some kind of software? I save the data and put the disc in another usb enclosure.
    So, to make it short.

    I have a disc to work partially because the usb controller is a little broken (speed slow usb 1.1)
    I tried to read the disc by using the IDE or another external case usb, but windows does not include the partitioning.

    I need to backup data, but need to type SME software so I can unzip the partition.
    PS its not passworded I never put a password on it.

    I hope someone can help me

    Robin

    > I guess the chip of the original envelope has some kind of special way of partitioning.
    It s no matter what chip it is. This has nothing to do with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    External USB controller can be IDE or SATA controller.

    You said that the external HARD drive has been recognized
    > When I put in a different usb transmission case, that it is detected and also the right size

    I put t understand how the external HARD drive has been recognized by the OS, but generally you should see it in disk management.
    We could also see which partitions are created.
