• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

  Hello

  I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

  The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
  There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
  The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

  If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

  I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

  As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
  I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
  Panasonic G8CC00019810
  TEAC G8CC00013810

  Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
  Try google. You may find a full name.

• Satellite A100-334: Question about upgrading from XP to Vista

  I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
  I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

  After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

  Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

  Here are some examples:
  Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

  It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
  What can I do?

  I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

  Hi Detlef

  Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

  I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

  The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

  In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

  Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

• Equium A60: Question about Upgrade DVD - RW

  Hello
  Can anyone recommend a dvd r/w upgrade, internal or external, so that I can copy DVDs. If I go for the internal upgrade, it is easy to install?

  Thank you very much

  Simon

  Hi Simon
  External drives are a little cheaper than the slim laptop drives.
  In addition, you need to know that not every reader of the laptop can be used in your laptop because master\slave\c-salt settings. These settings cannot be changed, as on an external drive by changing the position of the rider.
  But external drives are not very mobile and so many people don t like to use these external drives. But in my opinion it is not very important, because if I want to burn media I do at home.

  However, in the user manual, you should find compatible readers FRO your unit.
  My user manual contains such information.

  Then take a look in this document or ask the service provider in your country assistance. Here, you can order this disc.

• Satellite A40 - question about upgrading the processor

  If I upgrade my Satellite A40 processor with hyper-threading technology to 3 .00GHz, the problem s s don't past not my chipset for hypo threads, should I have a problem on my terms of portable?...

  Hello

  If you open your notebook and do something about yourself, you will lose your warranty.

  Just FYI; the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation. As far as I know because of this method of connection, upgrade the CPU is not possible.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

• Question about upgrading to the Aspire 5542-1462

  I wanted to improve my Aspire 5542-1462 memory from 4 GB to 8 GB, but I was told that since my Aspire 5542-1462 has two locations of memory with cards of 2 GB each and the PC can handle 4 GB, my PC is not expandable memory to 8 GB is it true? And how can I upgrade the RAM or the HARD DRIVE if possible, thanks in advance http://www.cnet.com/laptops/acer-aspire-5542-1462/4505-3121_7-33895355.html < with="" 2="" memory="">

  I'm afraid that it seems that you are correct, at least as much as I can tell from my research (fast).  The alternative is to reduce the amount of memory that uses the operating system, including the essential utilities (such as the antivirus/anti-spyware), stop programs and services running in the background that you don't need and so on.  There is a lot of information on the internet about optimizing Windows.

  Good luck!

• 1700-500 pictures satellite images: Questions about upgrades

  Hello
  I have a computer laptop 'satellite 1700-500' with Windows XP Home SP2 operating system installed and wish to update.
  1. thesis topic:
  My wish is to extend more than 512 MB memory, if possible. The user manual mentions that the maximum ram is 192 MB so added a module of memory of 128 MB (64 MB of non-removable memory). But the program "SiSoftware Sandra Pro 2005" detects and indicates:
  "Number of memory slots: 3.
  "Bank0(64M), Bank1(64MB), Bank2 (empty).
  "Maximum Installable memory 1 GB.

  I see only a single slot in the memory compartment. Where is "Bank2?
  According to data of Sandra, I install a module of 512 MB increasing memory in a total of 576 MB? What do you suggest for me? Finally, what is the maximum memory extension of this machine? What types, models and brands of memory I can install? buffered or not?

  2. on the hard disk:
  Can I install a 120 GB ATA-100 drive? Otherwise, what is the maximum size that can be installed?
  BIOS have been updated (v 1.30 (a)

  Please tell me details in both cases.
  Thank you very much.

  I got old A40 son of infections of Virus and spyware. Now, I want to improve.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  How have you tried to ask Toshiba? As far as I know, you can ask the service provider authorized in your country information but not a Toshiba directly.

  However, I studied a bit here in the forum and found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13208&MessageID=48597

  and this one
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=16243&MessageID=59405

  It seems that there is no official information, but the user henrivdw has updated the A30 (similar to A40) with 80 GB HARD drive successfully.

• Question about restoring from the download in the libraries tab

  Its pretty much exactly as the title suggests.

  l accidentally moved the shortcut for my tab download in the library section and the stupid thing doesn't let me bring him back.

  If the click with the right button on library and click on restore it does not bring back the short cut of download. l know right stupid?

  In my explorer, "downloads" is a favorite not a library.

  You right click on library or favorite? If you click library, try Favorites and "restore favorite links."

  Hi michel_91,

  If the drive works properly in Windows, it seems to be related to your startup disk. I put t know which drive you are trying to boot from, but you should try another. Maybe it s scratched or something else in order to test another.

• Question about moving from windows to another drive for another computer without an optical drive

  I bought new parts for an old PC: card MOTHER, video card, SSD, etc. However, currently the old parts that I have that I thought were able to move to the new computer - optical drive - are too old, because they use IDE instead of SATA cables.

  Now I wonder, because I did not have a SATA USB cable where can I connect my SSD for my laptop, can I install a version of windows in this SSD to my laptop?

  I have used a USB cable with an external DVD drive SATA and picked up in the BIOS, and started the installer of Windows 7, so I don't see why it shouldn't.

• Question about unique to the VCS cluster driver

  I'm just configuration conductor for the first time according to the guide found here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/TD/docs/Telepresence/infrastructure/con...

  Because I need to connect to a VCS cluster with two counterparts, each counterpart must be configured as a separate with its own appointment IP address location, (in which case I guess I would add two IPs Rendezvous in the nearby area of VCS Configuration) or should I point to the VCS Cluster FULL domain name and I have an IP to unique appointment for all of the VCS cluster?

  I can't see anything in the guide on this subject...

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Nick,

  Unique location pointing to the VCS cluster FQDN.  You are right the guide lacks details, will focus on opening a defect in the documentation for this.

• SA30-414 boot from the floppy USB drive

  Hi all!

  I'm tryin to get my my satellite A30-414 to boot from the floppy USB drive and enter the dos mode, but all I get is a black screen (without a slider, of course!), and then the windows XP login page directly. Can you tell me if this model has a boot device menu shortcut keyboard?

  Also, I may be permanently changed some configurations of starting (to know by pressing F12 at startup, then press F2 to try later) with my attempts to get the machine to boot from the floppy drive: now even when the floppy drive is not connected, I get this black screen awkward and then, after a few seconds, the logon windows page. How do I access the Setup menu and check?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hello

  You can access the start menu by pressing the F2 key during the boot process. This will take you in the "setup" menu where you can change the order of selection of boot device as well as the other BIOS settings permanently.

  Kind regards
