Satellite A45 initialize problem

I had a problem with my plug and play then tried to reinstall them to my XP CD (big mistake)! Everything goes well until he had almost finished. Now, then everything happens is when I boot, I get a full page message telling me to choose either choose - Safe Mode, Safe Mode with network, Safe Mode with command prompt, called last good Configuration, or start Windows normally.
But who ever I choose the machine just goes in the same loop.

I have the drive to restore but if I use it I lose all my information it makes the machine to 'factory settings '.
Can anyone help, please.

Hello

My Tip:
Remove the HARD drive. Put it in the USB external enclosure. Connect it to another computer. Secure all your important files form the external HARD drive to the second computer HARD drive. Replace laptop HARD drive in Toshiba unit. Recover the operating system from the Toshiba Recovery CD

  • Audio driver for Satellite A45 Pro

    I tried to check on the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp driver download page

    But I couldn't find the exact model for Satellite A45 Pro. So I tried to use the driver for Satellite Pro A40. I tried to install the downloaded driver, but it does not work. I was able to use the other driver, as for video, modem, etc. It is only the sound that has a problem. Does anyone know where you can download this driver? The exact model of the laptop is PSA45E - 0016T - from THE.

    Hello Carlo,.

    Satellite A45 was available primarily on the U.S. market and the support and download details is accessible directly from the Toshiba web site us.

    Several different models of the A45 are listed, but curiously they appear under the Satellite don't position not the satellite Pro.

  • Satellite A45 - the CPU usage is high and slow applications

    Hi all

    I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.

    THE PROBLEM: The CPU usage is high and applications slowly to a crawl after using an intensive application of memory for a few minutes, i.e. to watch a video or a game. Basically, anything that could use the screen much. If instead, I work only from a prompt, even when the application could do a lot of work, I do not encounter this problem. After stopping all applications, the CPU usage is always higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be slowed down to about 99%).

    Xorg now typically showing about 6% (normally use< 2%).="" if="" i="" at="" any="" time="" after="" this="" try="" to="" work="" in="" any="" application,="" usage="" is="" still="" bogged="" down.="" only="" a="" reset="" gets="" me="" back="" to="">

    Note: My system has always worked very well and I did not made the installation of the software or changes when it started to happen.
    However, the laptop is a 800 miles round trip at the rear of the car in a padded bag.

    DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be the RAM that I replaced the RAM and reinstall the RAM, and the problem persists. This doesn't seem to be the hard drive that I can try to run it from a Live CD (without use of HARD drive) and yet everything slows to a crawl.

    HELP: I don't know how to debug from here.
    I don't have extra pieces of hardware to make swaps.

    Any ideas more how to debug this?

    Thank you

    > I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.
    It s interesting why you think that this may be software related issue

    I think that it is a typical software problem because the RAM and the HARD drive has been verified you have reported this in the message

    So what to say maybe some virus or malware likely to obstruct the CPU and the memory usage
    Or there is some process in the background that are not properly

    I recommend you to reinstall the Windows operating system or another distribution of Linux that runs NO Live CD, but which is installed on the HARD drive
    I m sure that s kind of the process that is disabled and crashes somewhere in the background

    Hello Dave

    I fear that some router configurations will not. I recommend you contact your ISP and verify with them all the settings of the router.

    The same problem was one of my friends. There must be something wrong with the settings of the router.
    Have you ever talked with ISP?

  • Satellite A45-S120 - SYSTEM32 error (CORRUPT FILE)

    Hello

    This error appears especially if some or all of the system files are damaged.
    Usually the new OS reinstall should solve this problem.
    Use the recovery disk to reinstall the operating system.

    But many people have reported that this could occur due to hardware failure; Modules of RAM or HARD drive may be disrupted.

    PXE - e61:media test check cable error message appears because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN. This is especially the case if the LAN boot option has been set to the first position in the BIOS or if the HARD disk is not available or not recognized.

    In your case, it could be a new drive HARD does not appear in the BIOS, which is not recognized.

  • Satellite A45: need to update firmware on DVR K12D drive

    Hello...
    IM new here... Well, I have a toshiba > Satellite A45 Series... which had a DVD Multi Drive (DVR K12D) inside. The problem is that his operation stopped. Sometimes she would write a CD then sometimes it spoils my CD. I used on the media player were Verbatin, Imation, Supermedium, Sony.

    Well the reader works as a very short period and then dies OFF... every time I took it to the repair center...

    The drive has been changed now 4times by toshiba support. I asked for the release of Firmware from 1.05 to 1.15 or higher. They keep answering back telling me to ask pioneer. But it is an OEM obvious by toshiba.

    The player after having been changed stops working without delay of 2 to 3 months max 4 months time and den customer tried upgrading the drive by putting a higher config recorder multi disc double tht is the 8 GB one. The satellite detects that hardware.

    been 2 years now my readers send me problems such as:

    does not read DVD
    doeant read CD RW
    don't write CD/DVDs
    sometimes DVD detects any sometimes they detect its weird.

    The only solution is to update the firmware, but how can I do? I need the update of the firmware. I called toshiba WE also, they talked for two hours and then answer that I have to contact pioneer!

    Please help me!

    Vik!

    Hello

    CD/DVD players support generally not all means.
    As far as I know in the manual you will find a list of the CDs and DVDs is supported and it works properly.

    In addition, it seems that this device was designed for an American market and in this case, you should look at the Toshiba Site us.

    I checked this American site:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    There, I found several notebooks A45 and the necessary drivers. I also found a driver for DVD rom and ram. It s not a firmware update but maybe it helps.

    However, on Toshiba Europe site, I found several updates firmware for the readers and the different European books but as I said at the beginning you have a US laptop and have to look on the American website. If you don't get an update of the firmaware if you ask the manufacturing of the car.

    In addition, I want to say that you can not be sure that, after updating the firmware of the player will not work correctly. This kind of malfunction looks like a defect of lens calibration and therefore only a replacement disc can solve this problem.
    If the drive has been replaced several times so I guess that the guarantee is valid and you will get a new.

  • Screen turns off when the Satellite A45-S250 is moved in the direction of less

    Hello.

    I have a satellite A45-S250. I had no previous problem with this machine. However, when the computer is running too long, or it is moved in the slightest way the screen turns off. I don't even have to type very slowly - or I lose the screen.

    But also, as I have said - sometimes I won't even be near the computer and the screen turns off. When I lose the screen if the light shines on it - I can see, it's always VERY fair Sun. Generally, it will come if I use the FN + F5 button.

    I don't know if it is a screen problem or a connection problem. It occurs with increased frequency. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Replacement HARD drive & optical drive to Satellite A45-S1202

    Can someone point me to a reader of alternative alternatives other than the CMS (100-250 GB) 5400 RPM 2.5 PATA laptop universal Hard Drives?

    Can I buy from another manufacturer... If so, what readers are recommended?
    I would like more that what came with this particular computer (60 GB), but the price of replacement of Toshiba seems quite steep.

    In addition, the A45-S1202 came with a DVD player / CD - RW. drive.

    Does anyone know of a replacement drive DVDrw/CDrw (DVD burner) that works with this model?

    Any & all help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello!

    You can buy a larger HARD drive, it's not a problem.
    Satellite A45 unknown to me but I think the bigger HARD disk should be 120 GB because the laptop has an IDE interface and the standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not recognized.
    So you need a 2.5 HARD disk and 120 GB max.

    I think you also to exchange the drive for a DVD burner, but if you want a new contact a local ASP. They can offer these discs.

    Good bye

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite A45 Pro

  • Satellite A45-SP270 - how boot from LAN?

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite A45-SP270 and I want to install Windows XP, but the CD player does not work and I don't have floppy drive (boot USB is not available) so the only remaining option is using the LAN option, but I don't know how to use it. There is a tutorial to use the LAN Boot or another option to install XP?

    Hello

    The installation of LAN is very delicate.
    You will need to configure a RIS (remote installation of the server).
    Microsoft 2000 and more recent Server edition support this option, but I doubt you'll have obtained these BONES

    The simplest solution would be to put the folder i386 (placed on the Win XP CD) HARD disk, and then start the winnt.exe which is placed in this folder.
    This will start the installation of windows XP.

    CD/DVD drive replacement is a little tricky due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    If you use a non compatible drive the BIOS does not recognize the device and youw he get an IDE error message #1.
    Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful information this disc may be compatible with your laptop.

    I found the compatible reader preinstalled on my laptop user manual.
    I put t know if the manual would provide you this information, but you should check it out.

  • Boot with Win7 32 bit and Satellite L450-36 problems

    A friend has a laptop Toshiba Satellite L450-36 Windows 7 32-bit which he thinks has been hit by a Virus. He went to use the laptop a few weeks 3 + ago and concluded that it would not initialize. Now, he has 3 daughters who, before this problem, much used YouTube and say that they were able to see updates Adobe Flash Player appear on the screen at regular intervals, but they have deleted the. When he came to talk about the problem for me, I offered to watch the machine that I have some disks that can cure or at least let me save records Paragon Rescue Kit, Avira Anti Virus Rescue Disk, AVG Rescue Disk & others.

    When I turn on the machine I get a screen with boot Toshiba Leading Innovation one
    Press [F2] for INSTALLATION, press [F12] to the lower boot device selection menu. I leave the machine in operation and a window pops up let me the choice of {HD1}, , , but nothing happens when I select one, then I stop the machine and start again, this time by pressing F2 which takes me into the BIOS. I put in a cd, Paragon Rescue Kit 11, arrived on the BIOS and the CD starts. I did the same thing with the Avira Anti Virus system and it found 4 infections. He then lets me copy all my friend (s) files on an external hard drive, which allows me to complete objectives.

    I started the Recovery CD/DVD Toshiba product and I get a Windows loading files message followed by a bar of Microsoft Corporation loading under him and then there is a black screen with a cursor on it. I did the same thing with a system Windows 7 32-bit repair disc and get the same result black screen empty.

    I am retired and to my knowledge has been gained since the Commodore 64 days, then Amiga and PC now, but it isn't enough for me to fix this problem. I found very frustrating to be able to use a Linux program and see all the programs on the PC, but not actually being able to restart it, and start them! I could probably Boot & Nuke the hard drive, but my friend wasn't t provided with a disc of Windows 7 o/s system couldn t so re-installed without buying again.

    I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get rid of the HD1/FLOPPY/NEXT HD window and a solution for the portable computer so that it starts properly. I took pictures of different screens on the laptop that I could pass if they would help.

    In my opinion, you should remove the HARD drive and connect it to another computer and perform low level set in shape and just delete everything. You can use a tool like this and after doing this put back and try to install the original recovery image using the recovery disk.

    In the past I ve never had these problems, but I think it's the best way to remove all the viruses or malicious applications.
    Test it and thanks for posting comments.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - initialization of the webcam

    Hi all!

    I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite L300 and the only problem I have, is that the built-in webcam does not work.
    I downloaded the software from Windows 7, but each time after reboot it tells me, that there is a problem with the initialization of the webcam.

    Any ideas to solve the problem?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    What exactly downloaded Windows 7 software? You need the Camera Assistant Software to get the job of the webcam. You can download it on the Toshiba page.
    Did you do that?

    And what Satellite L300 you use exactly?
    You did an upgrade from Vista?
