Satellite A40-141 - IDE #1 error after the insertion of a new CD/DVD drive

Hey there!

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A40 - 141 series.
I have built in a new dvd driver and after I restarted my laptop

I get the message IDE # 1 and I can't use the driver. I read in some forums that I probably need to update my bios. Now, here's the problem. I can only update version 1.5 for my laptop.

I tried that and get the message that I already have version 1.5. I can't find an another update of bios for the A40 series except the 1.5 which is since 2004.

Can anyone help please?

Sorry for the long talk and bad English :-)
Thank you

Hello

You are completely wrong boyfriend.
This problem will be resolved not the BIOS updates!

You bought the car just not compatible.
The IDE #1 error means that the device connected to the IDE 1 controller was not recognized. Why? Because of the wrong master/slave/C-salt settings!

Slim portable settings are controlled by the firmware and cannot be changed as weird for desktop PC.

Either you contact the manufacturing of the CD/DVD drive and will require an update of the firmware and how to change these settings or you need to purchase a new compatible RATING

Good bye

  • Satellite 2450-401: "IDE 1 ERROR" after installing the new NEC AD - 7543A thin disk

    I have a Toshiba 2450-401 and I buy a slim NEC AD - 7543A labelflash drive.
    When a reboot my Toshiba raise an error: "IDE 1 error".
    This is a message of incompatible equipment? There is a solution for this error?

    Hello

    What to say dudea? ¦a? ... seems you have made a big mistake and purchased a bad CD/DVD drive.
    This error message is only displayed if the drive supports bad master\slave or c - salt settings!

    You should know that not all readers are compatible and can be used in the laptop!
    AFAIK the operating manual provides information on some readers supported!

    But if you na? t know this drive is compatible, try to contact the service provider allowed in your country and order the support one new!

    Good luck

  • Satellite A40-SP151 - ide #1 error on non-existent drive.

    OK, I got a laptop Satellite A40-sp151; 3 months ago we sent it to repair and they have damaged the connector of the cd player.
    If we use it without the cd unit.

    It was fine, but yesterday I received an error ide #1, without apparent reason.
    The worst is that said error won't start the computer as it will freeze.

    Hello

    The ide #1 error means that the BIOS does not recognize the device that is connected to the #1 controller.
    Especially the HARD drive is connected to the controller of #0 and the CD/DVD drive is connected to the #1 controller.

    In your case, it seems that the CD/DVD drive is bad and that is why this error.

  • Satellite A40-231 does not start after the incorrect firmware update

    Hello
    I have a toshiba satellite a40 - 231.it unbootable because I flashed it's drive(sdr-6112) dvd - rw with the wrong firmware and I also made a mistake in making a non bootable back active partition, try to Flash the correct firmware. So my question is: can I boot from the usb flash drive? I think it's the only option I have left, if not network startup.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    As far as I know it of not possible to start other devices from the USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN

    You can boot from network, but if you want to install the OS via the LAN you will need a RIS server. But it's not easy to do without any additional experience. So I think that this option isn't for you.

    It seems that the drive is dead or is malfunctioning and that is why the best idea is to replace the device's drive. I know, it's hard to hear that, but I don't see any other solution

  • Explorer.EXE error after the restoration of the ERD Commander

    Dell Inspiron B130

    Windows XP Service Pack 2

    Recently performed a HD format and new installation of XP SP2. After I installed all the drivers and others, I checked that the system was operating normally. After a few days of use, Windows Update downloaded Service Pack 3 and asked me to install. I started to install SP3, but at about 50%, the laptop battery is dead at Midway through the installation. I plugged the laptop on the power source and power. I restarted the laptop and XP started only a completely black screen and the white slider. No ALT + CTRL + DEL, desktop icons, etc.

    I rebooted the laptop of ERD Commander, ran the restore system and selected the first available Restore Point. Point of restoration chosen was recorded a few days before, and was the first recorded point after the clean installed XP. I rebooted the XP system. Wallpaper loaded with white cursor, but NO start menu or desktop icon. A message appears saying "Explorer.EXE Application error, press OK to exit the application" or something very similar. Did not write the error code, but can get if necessary. If I press the OK button (which is my only option), there is still no icons on the desktop or the start menu. Only the cursor. No access ALT + CTRL + DELETE or something like that.

    Thinking about completely wipe the system and reinstalls the operating system. Any suggestions before I jump in this solution?

    Explorer.EXE error after the Restore Point of ERD Commander. Dell Inspiron B130. Recently clean installed XP SP2 on laptop. Installation of SP3, to 50%, battery dies the laptop right in the middle of the installation of the SP3 update. Restarted, XP starts with black screen with cursor only. ERD restart order and restore XP to the last known good config (I choose point immediately after XP clean install). Reboot to XP. Now the wallpaper shows as well as the error message saying "Explorer.exe Application error, click OK to exit Explorer" dialog and then I can't access anything. Any ideas?

    Hello

    What is the full and exact error message?

    Step 1: Check if you are able to boot into safe mode without any problem. If you are able to boot into safe mode without any problems then try to perform the clean boot to safe mode. Also disconnect any external devices connected to the computer.

  • Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

    I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

    Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

    Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
    It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

    I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
    I need to download the drivers to operate?
    It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

    I'd appreciate any help. THX

    The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
    I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

    As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

    You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

    Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
    However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
    My user manual provides this information.

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

    Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

    I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

    I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.

  • IDE 1 error with the new CD player - Satellite 2410-504

    Hello

    Can anyone help please? I have satellite s2410-504 (number PS241E-6HWP1-EN) and my laptop CD drive is dead and I exchanged for a new one and now the IDE 1 error. I presume that he is a master / slave number and the reader has no way to change to cs etc on the drive itself.

    I was told maybe there may be a way to fix this problem of flashing or play with the connections on the motherboard of the ideas please?

    Thank you
    Mel

    You bought the disc is not compatible. It before the BIOS cannot recognize it because bad csel/slave/master settings.
    Of course in the net, some gossip circulating that it should be possible to some flash drives, BUT I also read that, after these procedures, the drive was dead and could not read media.

    I n t recommend something flashing. I guess this drive is new and you must contact the dealer and replace the drive for a new compatible.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

    HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
    A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

    Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

    I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

    Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

    THX in advance people.

    Hello James

    IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

    In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

    Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

    Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.

  • SD-C2612 IDE #1 error after wrong firmware update - Satellite Pro A10

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, which was flashed with wrong firmware (I don't know which because I don't).

    I tried flashing with the right firmware (1315) but get the message to the Primary Master and Slave as "Not ATAPI Device" and "drive not connected".

    NB: at the start, even with the deleted DVD ROM, I always get the #1 error IDE.

    Update the bios to the latest version would help or is there all the options open for me to solve this problem other than to have recourse to the connection of pin 47 & 45? Would it even solves?

    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

    Best regards
    Angus

    > I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, which was flashed with wrong firmware (I don't know which because I don't).

    Lol :D I have don t wonder you get the IDE #1 error message.
    As you say yourself, you have flashed the drive with the wrong firmware. This has damaged the master/slave/c-salt settings of readers and so the BIOS doesn't recognize the CD/DVD drive. But I wonder why someone flashing the drive with a bad firmware?  :| We still know that a wrong firmware can damage the CD/DVD drive... and above all it is not necessary to update the firmware.

    > Update the bios to the latest version would help
    The BISO update will not help you because you have already good BIOS and it s NOT a problem of BIOS, but the evil and not compatible firmware is stored.

    > or are there options open for me to solve this problem other than to have recourse to the connection of pin 47 & 45? Would it even solves?
    I'm don't know if this helps, but I know that it is not desirable because it may damage the material of CD/DVD players

    I recommend you contact the ASP in your country guys might revive the CD/DVD drive. Let's hope

  • IDE #1 ERROR at the start of Satellite Pro 2100 Series

    Hello... I'm an IDE #1 ERROR displayed at startup of the computer. My CD/DVD player does not seem to be recognized (in the Device Manager the drive is not displayed) and certainly does not at all. I have installed a new CD/player player, this is the original factory supplied.

    In addition, another clue is when I press one of the dvd control buttons on the front of the pop window - next up will appear:

    "The setting of the drive in Toshiba controls is false. If the audio and video control buttons do not work. Please select the correct drive letter.for the internal CD/DVD drive.

    However on the drop-down list there is no drive letter for choose!
    Any help would be gratefully receieved. Thank you, Matt

    HI Matt,

    It seems that your IDE controller is damaged. To ensure the safety of reading, you should recover the laptop with the Toshiba recovery Image and if the failure is on a new system of fees, the IDE controller is bad!

    It may be possible that only the IDE cable is loose, but to kow that it would be better to put the laptop to a Toshiba Service partner!
