  How have you tried to boot from the drive?
  Have you changed the boot order in the BIOS?

  Startup options are usually available.
  1. you can press the C key immediately after to computer mobile power to detect CD/DVD drive starts
  2. you can press F12 for the boot menu
  3. you will first change the boot order in the BIOS to ODD

  But it s interesting to know if your new ODD is compatible with the laptop

• Satellite A10 - 131 and BIOS update

  I want to update my bios but I can't understand how :) I downloaded the R131VOL2 Web site. When I run I get the question to insert a disk 3.5 "... but the satellite A10-131 is not a floppy drive. So I'm stuck :)

• Password BIOS Satellite A10 131

  I bought an old box of voor laptop 15 but he happened to have an unknown bios password, so it does not start.

  For almost every Toshiba I can find a solution on the internet, but not for this old A10-131.
  Tips and tricks like masterpasswords, dongle on the parallel port (which mij A10 is not!), remove the cmos battery and. etc won't work. Is there anyone who really know the solution for this problem?

  There must be a jumper on the motherboard which solve the problem I think. But what date is?
  Anyone know the right name (B500 or almost) this rider?

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  From my own experience that the Toshiba service can remove the BIOS password.
  A rider who could do the job does not for me.

• Satellite X 200 - 25i - slow start on

  Hello

  This cute portable X 200 - 25i and everything you've just bought a few weeks ago works great. But I just realised, it this slow start. It will take about 3 minutes to load all the software, and I did install something special... everything is factory shipped Vista, antivirus software for my mouse logitech...

  Any help? Any ideas?

  Thank you all very much...

  Hello

  My notebook booted up like a turtle. Do you know why?
  Because many applications have been installed in the autostart folder or in the registry, run entry and this affected the start-up procedure.
  I had Norton Antivirus installed and loaded always at the beginning.

  I read that this software needs of too many resources and slows down the performance of the laptops.
  I removed and instead of Norton, I use another program called Antivir antivirus.
  It s freeware and my notebooks starts much faster than with preinstalled Symantec Norton Antivirus.

  I recommend also using a small tool called CCleaner.
  It repairs the registry of the operating system and remove all garbage and junk of the system.
  It s really nice

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 - Questions about slow start, not in the DMA mode CD drivers

  Hi all

  as you can see I have 3 questions:

  1. my Satellite A100-153 starts very slowly (current running avira antivir and sunbelt pfw only like on my other laptop which is older than this one, but not slow start)-anyone has any idea why (I would be very gratefull because I don't have reinstall win and all my stuff)?

  2 Nero tells me that my CD is not running in DMA mode - where can I check and fix this?

  3. drivers - am I forced the drivers supported on this site or can I use the drivers directly from the manufacturer (ATI for my graphics card, Intel for my chipset realtek for my sound and so on)?

  Help is welcome!

  Hello

  For me, it will be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Anyway, I'll try to give my short opinion on your questions:

  -many other factors may be responsible for slow start. It is usually the OS configuration. I'll try to find an interesting article, how to make faster starting and I will post it here for you.

  --entrer enter in the device IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Manager, enter the properties for secondary IDE chanel and open the Advanced Settings tab. Is under transfer mode DMA if available? If this isn't the case, set it to please and after reboot check if the problem persists. DMA if available is usually defined as a default value.

  -In general, you can use it but it is well known that manufacturers of graphics card don't support mobile graphics cards and laptop manufacturers are responsible for.

  I recommend you to use the Toshiba drivers only. All of these drivers are put to the test.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow start and freeze on Internet Explorer

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I'm very disappointed with the performance.
  (1) from the card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'Please wait' it's probably not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

  (2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
  For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
  I only bought it last Friday, and I have not used a lot, but probably a bit disappointing so far.
  Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the toolbar internet explorer?

  FYI, I use Vista Business OS and Internet explore

  any help welcome

  > 1) card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'please wait' is surely not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

  I'll tell you how to reduce the startup time of your laptop.
  I think you are using Vista and the Tempro should be installed too
  You have two options: either you would update the Tempro or remove the system. Both should help make the Mobile QuickStart.

  (> 2) I'll try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
  For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
  You should update right Vista in the current state, and should also check if certain unnecessary processes running in the background.
  You can do this by using the msconfig.

  In addition, you should check if your antivirus software does not slow down the system.

  Just a tip; I m using the free software Antivir. It of free and it s really nice, it doesn't have a lot of material resources.

  Hello

  If a compatible SATA mode then your HARD drive will always slow down the performance of the laptop!

  You need the right SATA drivers. You can find the right SATA files in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, which can be downloaded from the Intel page.
  Notes; There are different packages that supports different chipsets.

  After the right SATA driver was selected, you can use the freeware software called nLite to build a new XP CD and include SATA files.

• ESX 3.5 really slow start in VMware Server

  Hello

  I managed to install ESX 3.5 Server 2 on a dell sc440. The physical server has 4 gigabytes of ram and is running xp pro as host. I attributed the ESX 3.5 VM 1.5 GB of ram because I would create 2 ESX VM's for testing. However when you turn on the computer, virtual, they take forever to a boot ESX is currently 30 minutes in a boot and just happen to the filesystem root tank.

  I have virtualization enabled in the BIOS of the physical server, but everyone would be able to give me guidance on the acceleration of time to start the virtual machine. It doesn't seem to be due to the amount of ram that I assigned the virtual machine because it has not used any amount over 600megs so far in the boot process. Ah the sc440 also has a Xeon dual-core in it.

  Thanks in advance.

  Very well.  Watch more closely the code reveals that on some hardware, a type of 64-bit operating system asked is not enough to force the use of hardware virtualization for guests who never in long mode.

  Please, add the following option to your virtual machine configuration file:

  monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware"
  

  That should do the trick.

• How can I boot from CD on the Satellite A10 - 131

  How can I set BOOT priority in the BIOS to CD-Rom?

  HI Gleb,

  The normal way to select the boot device is to press the F12 key during the initial ignition process. This will cause the display of the menu 'Boot Device Selection'.

  Alternatively, you can try the short cut from Toshiba which is to press the 'C' in the first power.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A10-131 CPU upgrade

  I want to change the CPU in my machine. I wonder if she would support PIV - M 2, 6 GHz with 512 KB L2 or PIV Centrino 2 GHz with 2 MB of L2 cache. Can someone help me? I know that I can swap the CPU in this machine, because I did it earlier. I just want to know if it supports these processors I mentioned.

  Thank you
  Marek

  Hello

  As much as I know this device was delivered with an Intel Celeron 2.5 GHz 400 MHz FSB Processor
  Usually it s not advisable to change the processor on the laptop because of an overheating issues and pre-installed software (ie. utility chipset). For most the CPU is fixed on the motherboard and you cannot remove the cpu.
  He should also know that if you change the CPU or you open Notepad, you will lose the warranty.
  In this case, you can do any replacement at your own risk!

• My Satellite is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session

  Hello

  My satellite phone is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session. It also takes awhile to open up applications in particular the internet. Once the internet is open, it takes a while to access the net. The application actually drags across from the scene and it looks like a curtain closing additional idling.

  Need help.

  Hello

  Have you checked the CPU usage rate?
  Start the Task Manager and check if any strange background process needs the full CPU performance.

  I also recommend to check the laptop for some viruses and malware. These programs could make the laptop and the lazy BONE.

  However the portable equipment could bad work.
  You should check the memory using the Memtest86 program. It s freeware. Check the HARD drive for bad sectors and also try to defragment the HARD drive!
