• 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.

  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.

• 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... :)

• 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.

• 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.

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9): Win7 + setting screen brightness problem

  Hello

  I installed Windows 7 64 bit on my toshiba A100 (psaa9) machine and I cannot change the screen brightness more.

  It's always a maximum brightness. FN key doesn't work, and neigther Control Panel I can change the nvidia manually through the brightness. NVIDIA driver is 7.15.11.7967, which is installed automatically with windows.

  I have read suggestions on value-added package to install, but there is no package like that for my model.

  How can I solve my problem?
  Thank you

  Hello

  You must install VAP and Support of Flash Card Utility for the FN keys works!
  Installation of VFR will not help you if you should not install Flash memory card Support utility.

  As far as I know, these two tools are not phone specific, so you can choose the VAP and the published Flash card for example utility for Satellite L500!

  I did it on my laptop and it worked fine!

• Re: How to create a partition for instant recovery on Satellite A100 PSAA9E

  .. .This can be a difficult issue but I wil give it a shot...

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 PSAA9E and a defined recovery disk.
  In the recovery for the operating system (win xp MCE) disk there are two iso: PEbase.iso and the HDbase.iso.
  After some snooping in the Northeast, I discovered what an enivorment of preinstallation and installation (sysprep) prepared.

  Now I wonder if it can be so simple place the image .tpa from the recovery disk in partition and install it whit a pe that works directly from this partition.

  The only real obstacle is that there is some .inf and .sif PES statically to the installation partition, which can be useful to know what has changed from the original version of xp MCE.

  I know that the question is not easy but I hope that in the expertise of the admins

  Hello

  > Now I m wondering if it can be so simple place the image .tpa of recovery in a disk partition and install it whit a pe that works directly from this partition.

  I doubt that it will work to be honest, I've never tested so I can't say exactly if it will work or not but in my opinion it is not possible

  New laptop model are equipped in HARD drive recovery option, but this recovery works completely different. There is an additional menu that allows to start the HDD recovery procedure.

  Your laptop supports the recovery disk and that disk must be used to retrieve the laptop.

  By the way; I have a Norton Ghost utility. I create my own image using this tool and placed it on the second partition. If something goes wrong with my OS I can restore the entire system using the shadow and the filename of the image to the other partition.

• Issue of the upgrade to Vista - Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

  Hello.
  Well, I think to upgrade to windows vista from my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAA9)). I was researching (little) on the drivers and hardware compatibility with vista, and it seems that if I update now, I can't find major problems. Is this true?
  I ask because when I was looking for drivers for vista, I found many (and some of those that exist, I can't download them!) But even without a driver, vista will recognize and install drivers 'default' for the material of my laptop? Can someone answer this with some?
  My major concern is connectivity: lan and wireless! I'll be able to install the hardware drivers to operate these two things?

  Thank you very much to all those who somehow tries to help with these issues!
  Good bye.

  Hello

  I upgraded my and installed all the drivers from the card reader SD me just used for XP drivers and they worked very well. There are a lot of vista drivers now available for this model, although I am having trouble with the value added package to allow me to use the function keys and access keys.

  Apart from that, I had no other problems!

  Good luck... Let me know if value-added package that works for you, seems to be working for some but not for others.

• Its virtual does not support my Satellite A100-998 with Vista

  Hello.

  I have the Satellite A100-998, and yesterday I find for my driver the new laptop. I download Virtual Sound to my laptop and for vista, and when I try to install the driver that I have error "Toshiba Virtual Sound can't stand your computer." Why

  PS. Sorry for my bad English, but please help me!

  Hello

  I think the problem is that your computer has a sound card, which was designed for XP and not Vista. Thus, you need to download a special driver
  to make the Gizmo work.

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9E) - where can I find new display drivers?

  Hello world
  I'm desperately looking for display drivers for my ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 (Satellite A100 PSAA9E)

  Those who are on the Toshiba site was updated in 2007. And they are totally useless on most 3D applications!
  No idea where I could find these?

  Thanks in advance
  Nephi

  Hello!

  Normally you can find new drivers to display on the Toshiba site like you said, but I think that in this case, you can't do anything.

  I checked the site Web of ATI/AMD, and I can find more recent drivers for the Mobility Radeon X 1400.
  But it s on your own risk to use these drivers because they don t have a protection against overheating. The graphics card may be damaged.

  Either way, why you want to update the driver? You have some problems with the laptop (in games)?
  Sometimes it s useful to search for a patch or an update for the game and the OS.
