• Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

  Audio device:
  Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
  Manufacturer: Intel

  (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

  Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

  The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

  I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

  Best regards
  Alan

  You use Windows XP Home with SP2 or SP3?

• Satellite A105-S2071 - HARD drive problem

  Hi guys,.

  I have Satellite A105-S2071 and the last time my HARD drive died so I had to Exchange and I have a problem with the HARD disk drivers.
  Could you tell me what is the motherboard installed in my Satellite chip?

  And when I choose Control Panel > system > device > household devices > IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller > IDE channel base > avancΘs > current transfer type it shows me * does not *.

  What is the reason because my computer doesn't work so well and I think that's the reason

  Thx for any answer

  Detailed specifications, you can find the Toshiba site:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  However, you have an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 M Chipset. The display driver contains the chipset driver.

  I put t know your type of transfer does not apply.
  You put the SATA mode in the BIOS to AHCI or compatible?

• Satellite A100-062 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I'm out of memory on my A100-062 the disk of Vista (C) on my laptop (currently 62.6MB/37.1GB left!), but I left on data (E) 32 GB drive / 35.9 GB.

  Is it possible to move itunes and my library of music on the D drive and where there is more room? Or should I look to upgrade the hard disk (internal or external)

  I am a complete novice when it comes of it so * _basic detailed explanations_ * on what best to do would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks Max1210

  Before you buy a new HARD drive, you should try to move the folder my documents on the second partition. Also the mp3 files you have.
  I save my documents, pictures, music, and so far only on the second partition. On the first partition I install only the programs that I need.

  If you want a new HARD disk it of your choice if you take a HARD drive internal or external. On the external HARD drive, you can backup your data.

• Satellite 4010 CDT - hard drive problems

  I have a HDD MK3018GAP, which I use in a USB caddy as a secondary drive for my XP desktop.

  Now, I want to use it as primary disk in my laptop of CDT 4010, but it does not recognize.

  I also tried to get my win98 desktop to read it via the USB enclosure but it does not recognize it either.

  I guess I may need reformatting Win98 but don't know how to do this when my office win98 does not recognize.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  As far as I know, this unit was delivered with a HARD of GB 4.1 and your HDD has MK3018GAP of 30 GB disk.
  Well, as Tom, said it could be a problem of recognition of the BIOS because of the large size of HARD drive.

• Satellite P200 - extra hard drive problem

  When I bought my laptop the advisor at importers told me I could get an adapter so that I could put the second drive in my laptop but now when I want to get the adapter and another player, they want to charge me about a 3rd of the price of what I paid for the laptop! And I pay dealer prices goods... All seems like hold up for me! Especially seeing that we all know the price of hard drives is so low!

  Can anyone help with a part number, or the details of this adapter so that I can order from abroad or find on ebay or something?

  Hello

  I put t know which adapter you are which means exactly, but if you want to use a second HD in this notebook, then you should check first if the second HARD drive bay contains the necessary HARD drive connector.

  You should know that not all laptops can be improved with the second HARD disk, even if the second HARD drive Bay is available!

  Then remove the second Bay and check if there is a HARD drive connector!

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive problem

  Hello.. I can normally play any type of cd or dvd, the cd or the dvd turns just in the computer and it opens, when I restart the computer and put the disc in a straight line, after the cd/dvd will play... If I'm going to play another cd/dvd at a later date, I have to restart the entire procedure, by restarting the computer.

  There is no drivers on the computer... I see... However I download the latest version of itunes every time, which seems to cause the problem. In the past, it was ok, but now the problem is just constant.

  I don't know how to put this problem right.

  I hope this helps...

  Hi mate

  I agree with Alex.
  The itunes could affect the registry and change the filter settings.
  You could remove the filters manually.

  Register, choose the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  He remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
  A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
  Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

  I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
  Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
  Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

  Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

  And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

  Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

  > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
  This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

  This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

  > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

  HARD drive problems are always difficult.
  In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
  But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

• Qosmio F60 turning is not on - HARD drive problem

  My F60 running stock windows 7 and when I turn it on I get a black screen with the following text:

  + Check the file system on C: +.
  + the type of file system is NTFS.
  + Volume name is s3a5802d002 +.
  + One of your disks needs to be checked for conisitency. +
  + You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
  + To skip verification of the disc, press any key within 10 seconds.

  If I leave it just like that.
  I try to ignore it, and it does not work so I turn it off and go again on the third time, to turn on while I press ESC. What should I do about it?

  Re: do everything or send it as it is only 6 months old, it is Bernard did this for 5 months

  Hello

  It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
  I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
  This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

• Problem of storage space satellite L305-S5962 HARD drive when installing XP

  Hello

  Last week, I ordered two TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5962 for my children and finally happened yesterday.
  I was so glad that I found all drivers XP needed for it on Toshiba USA website, however something weird happened when I went to install XP over there.

  It came with preloaded Vista and while under Vista, I checked the HARD drive space it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read C 131 GB only partition.
  So, if you round up to about 130 GB, where the other 90 GB's?

  This problem has happened to these two Toshibas, and read the two HDD substantially the same.
  In Vista, it reads close to 250 GB, but when installing XP blue screen (once I turn off the AHCI setting in BIOS) it reads at 131 GB. Is this some kind of driver issue? or to issue OS with AHCI?

  On the Toshiba site there are two HARD drive drivers, are a .exe and the other a .zip file.
  I tried both in the XP installation CD of nLite, but it does not help.
  It still reads GB 131, so now I have no idea what to do, or maybe I have something wrong during the splicing of nLite?

  In any case, if anyone has some insight on this problem, please let me know.

  Thank you!

  -G.P.

  P.S. Here is the link to site from USA, for XP SP2/SP3 drivers, HARD disk drivers.

  Even once, if someone has seen, thank YOU!

  > I checked disk space HARD it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read the partition C 131 GB only.

  The HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions.
  The first partition contains OS preinstalled; Vista
  The second partition contains the image of Toshiba HDD and the last third partition is hidden. It s a small partition created by Vista and it contains the backup files. These files can be used if something goes wrong with Vista OS or if Vista needs to be repaired.

  So I guess you've seen only the first partition that contains the operating system Vista
