  I don't know who is the manufacturer of this module of RAM, but I hope that you use high quality products. Unfortunately I can't test with my Satellite A100, but I think you can use this RAM module.

  According to some reports here on the forum, maybe you will have problem to make it work with a former RAM module. Test it please and please let us know how it works.

  In any case, I think you need to use the 100% compatible module. If you want to check here

• Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive problem

  Hello friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:

  1.87 C2D Ghz, 1 GB of Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...

  Question: Its been long enough, I m facing some problem with my optical drive. Whenever I insert a CD that is originally made by any company, it works fine. At the time when I insert a CD that is personally burned with any normal CD data / engraver of DVD or CD that have been created previously by the same laptop mentioned above, its been interpreted as a blank disc. The data on the drive are not displayed.

  For example: lets say if I insert a cd of the software as my webcam cd or cd of my printer they can be read normally and work very well. But at the point where I have to enter any cd that was burned by me that contains my personal files, it is read as a blank disc.

  This problem does not exist with any of the DVDs. that is not serious every dvd I insert either being a software normal dvd or one that is burned as a given personal dvd, everything works fine and all the data DVD can be read.

  I tried to reinstall the driver, I tried to reformat my laptop using the supplied with the notebook Toshiba Recovery CD, but the problem persists.

  Between a few months ago, I tried to do a few tweak, as firstly I have insert the cd in the drive and then turn off the reader of cd and then allowing it once again would actually read the cd. But after a few tries, it also stopped working.

  Now I have really no idea what should I do to get my CD to work normally.

  I hope that this message can help out me.

  Your help will be appreciated

  Thanks for your precious time

  Hi Claudia,.

  To be honest, I never heard A785 Satellite.
  You should check the model number again, as wrote Akuma. It would be important to know.

  But in General if you have the same problems after using the Toshiba Recovery disk it seems to be a bad material work because the recovery disc can restore the factory settings.

• Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

  When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

  I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

  Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

  Hello

  the following things could probably help you with your problem:

  -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
  -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
  -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

  If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

• The Satellite A100 created recovery, but DVD does not start

  I'm trying to reload a Satellite A100 with the DVD that was created when I started the laptop when he bought the news of recovery 11 months ago.

  I changed the boot order so that the DVD is first and when you restart, the drive runs at high speed, so it works

  No option is presented to be able to boot from this drive (as the usual "press a key to reboot from DVD")

  If I press F8 when booting I get a list of the options-led FIX YOUR COMPUTER that is highlighted.
  I then press ENTER and get a message "Windows is loading files".
  The system recovery options are then displayed, keyboard, layout, then the opening of the session, what I do using an administrator account.
  I am then presented with a screen with 6 system recovery options
  -Startup Repair
  -System restore - restore to an earlier point in time
  -Restoration of Windows complete PC (from backup)
  -Windows memory diagnostic
  -Command Promt
  -Restoriing the full Windows operating system

  There are 2 buttons {color: #000000} * low _S_hut * {color} and * _R_estart *.

  When I select the last option all I get is another screen with the message
  The complete oprtating of Windows System Restore *.

  If the pre-installed files are damaged you can use the product Recvoery DVD - Rom to restore (which is what I'm trying to do)
  A caveat against the loss of data is also included and then the OK button which, when clicked on resturns me to the previous screen without action
  If I select shutdown or restart it's there for that and boots from the hard drive.
  The disc is not damaged, I can copy him on system, then one more

  Can someone tell me how to start and recover from this drive?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. I'll try to be clear now:

  -Via recovery CD/DVD, you CAN NOT repair already preinstalled the operating system. Using Recovery CD/DVDs, you can make clean OS install only. Please note that, prior to installation, the procedure begins old BONE is removed.
  -Reading your ad, I think that you try to use Microsoft Vista of origin and not the recovery image options because when you start the recovery procedure is no different 6 menus

  Can you please tell me what is the problem with your Satellite A100? What are the files that you are trying to fix? What happens at the start of your laptop?

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

  I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

  Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

  In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

  So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

  Thank you

  Hello

  At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

  Could you please post this number and name?

  The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
  My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

  Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

  Check this box:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

  In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

• Satellite A100-049: CDs and DVDs do not read after standby

  I have a new satellite A100-049 delivered with vista home premium pre-installed. After returning to the computer from sleep/wake (whatever mode is when the yellow light pulses) without discs can be read in the drive. The disc rotates constantly, but nothing will happen.

  Everything works well when the computer is turned on at the first time, but after the sleep he stopped playing discs. Is that what I can do about it?

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the media CD or DVD of the training after the laptop back to sleep/wake?

  I mean that you should remove the Middle, close the CD tray, then open the drive, insert the CD/DVD and check if the laptop recognizes the middle.

• Satellite A100 PSAA9A - can read DVD BUT not CD with Windows XP

  I use a satellite A100 PSAA9A computer laptop and I started having trouble with the CD/DVD drive. It was working fine until yesterday when he decided not read no matter what CD I get the message asking me to insert a disc, when there is a CD in the drive. It still reads DVD good.
  I don't know if he has anything to do with the download of the updates of Windows XP because the troubl seems to start after I did.
  Is there somewhere in the creation for the player who controls this? Also when I run the troubleshooting test it always ignores the test of this drive.
  I'd appreciate any help.
  See you soon

  Optical drives, DVDS, has some different faces to work with CD and DVD, but objective and optics are the same. He had arrived, when in one two heads become a dust or something else. I thing that you must visit the Service and your disk cleanup. But do not use a cleaning disc!
  PS. Windows updates, as and OS, are not issues.
  Make sure it's easy - attempt to start bootCD (not BootDVD) with anyone by pressing F12 at startup. If the running machine - it's Windows, if not - DVD player.
  See you soon

• Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

  Hello

  cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
  Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

  Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

  First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
  After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

  Simple disc burning layer without problem.

  Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
  Thank you
  Luci

  Hello

  tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

  I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

  Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

• Satellite A100-496 continually trying to boot

  My laptop Toshiba A100-496 continually tries to start and that Windows logo appears it goes back to the options to select for example safe mode, I tried all the optuions but in vain.

  However, I see a flash of a blue screen with writing and pressing a button, not sure what one I could read the blue screen that gave me a piece of management of memory information.
  Windows XP pre loaded in my laptop so I don't have a disc.

  I don't want to lose the docs and the photo I stored, can I do to fix this?

  Help, please.

  Hmm.
  I see just one solution;
  You must use a Linux Live CD or WinPE bootable disk to boot from that disk and gain access to the HARD drive.
  Then you can back up the data on external HARD disk or USB key, and then you would be able to restore the operating system using a Windows XP Vista or Win 7 disc

  Google for WinPE and how to create a CD bootable image that you can download.

• Satellite A100 - hard drive data recovery

  Hello

  I recently tried to help a friend for his Toshiba Satellite A100 data recovery, died on this screen.
  I thought this would be a task simply remove the hard drive and put a HARD drive caddy and attaching it to another computer.

  This doesn't seem to work.
  Can I put the hard drive in the computer and I can hear start the computer to the top and was able to see it with a LCD display. I was able to delete the data in this way, so we're safe.

  My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?
  I guess it must be an interface or format the laptop can be used for the recovery section and cannot therefore be seen as a normal drive.

  If I could not delete the data because say the motherboard is dead. Is it possible to be able to see the data on another computer.

  E-mail: [[email protected]]

  > My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?

  Of course you can do if you want to use a symbol external USB SATA controller (external HARD drive) you should be able to connect to another computer.
  But if the HARD drive is faulty, it will not work.

• Satellite A100 - hard drive upgrade

  Hi all

  I want to improve my Satellite A100-847 with disk bigger and harder. I chose hitachi "travelstar", like the original, but running on 7200 RPM. My question is can I use SATA II 3 Gb/s model, or should I choose SATA I 1.5 Gb/s as the original. because if my laptop does not support SATA II, the hard drive will not work.

  Thanks in advance!

  Well, as far as I know the A100-847 supports a SATA interface.
  SATA II drives are backward compatible, but may not work with some older motherboards.

  If I you would be then I would not risk compatibility problems and choose the SATA/150 (SATA I) HARD drive.
  In this case, you can be sure that your new HARD drive would be recognized correctly.

  In addition, you must make sure that your new HARD drive size would be too strong.
  The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.

  You device was equipped with a 100 GB HARD drive. Am I wrong? Well, in this case, you might try some 120GB, 160GB and maybe a 200 GB HARD drive.

  Best regards
