• Satellite M30-604 external usb hdd boot failure

  Hello world

  Hard drive problems seem never to end for me.

  I have a satellite M30-604. Recently my Hitachi HDD crashed. Now, I am trying to boot from an external hard drive via usb, but I can't.

  (a) I use a ViPower 3.5 "(model VP9258T) enclosure external usb 2.0"
  (b) with a Seagate 200 GB hard drive.
  (c) I used the recovery cd to install windows on the seagate
  (d) the bios (v1.4) seems to support the external device to start
  (e) the internal hdd crashed is deleted (it's internal hard drive space is empty)
  (f) the bios sees the drive and recognizes it as a USB

  I think it should work, but when I turn on the computer, after a while, he says: "0201: failure IDE #0"
  and gives me the options to run the program installation or start-up.
  When I choose boot it gives me the window with "boot in safe mode" screen, 'last known good configuration' etc, but nothing of the work options (it restarts and gives the same again).

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  My research on this subject has led me to believe that it is not possible to boot an operating system of attached USB HDD XP. I read several posts on various usenet groups on this issue, and the consensus of opinion is that it is simply not possible.

  Several suppliers of BIOS claim allow a USB HDD to be suitable for start-up purposes but I still have to attend such a machination succeed with XP.

• Satellite 2430-101: external USB 2.0 HARD drive problem

  Hello everyone,
  I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. Recently I bought external 40 GB hard drive. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it is said that it exceeds the limit of the power, and I need to detach the external hard drive. When I read these last questions, someone suggested to uncheck the power supply to the usb hub options, but he says always the same. They are someone to help me.

  Sri

  Hello

  Well, in my opinion, this problem occurs if the USB port can't provide enough power.
  In this case, that the USB hub must be connect to external power.

  Good bye

• Satellite L655: Problem transfer photo files from DVD - rom

  Recently bought a Satellite L655 with Win 7 and Mat * a BD - Rom drive.
  A friend copied a bunch of pictures on a DVD disc.

  I'm unable to access these photos on the laptop (the disc appears empty), but I am able to see very well from my PC running Windows Vista.

  I am at a complete loss as to what could be the problem here, and would appreciate any help to solve this.

  Hello

  In my opinion the disc can be read correctly perhaps due to the incompatibility between the disc and the ODD.

  try to copy this disc in another drive (DVD) from another manufacturer that has been tested successfully in the past that I had similar problem with my CD/DVD drive in the past

  I tried different discs from different manufacturers and finally I made good experiences with TDK DVD-R and CD - R discs
  Not sure if this drive would also be ok for you, but I think it's worth a check!

• Satellite U300: problem external screen

  Hello

  I just bought a U300 laptop, which is really nice. But I tried to plug in an external display on this subject and the result is really bad, and I don't understand why.

  My external screen is an E1900WS (19 ", widescreen, resolution: 1440 x 900 at 75 Hz).
  When I plugged it in, I asked to extend my desktop.
  My laptop screen is fine, but external has a problem: the screen moves to the resolution of 1440 x 900 at 75 Hz, but there are a few ripples on it.

  Like her, the image is not perfect. I tried to change my external display driver, but it's the same result.
  My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium (I don't like, so slow...).

  Do you think that 1440 x 900 is a too big resolution?
  Do I have to update my driver Intel X 3100?
  You have another idea?

  I'm sorry if my English is so bad, I'm french.
  Thank you.

  > Do you think 1440 x 900 is a too big resolution?
  The resolution is not the problem, but you can try to change it and check if the same question is displayed using different screen resolutions.

  > Should I update my Intel X 3100 driver?
  Intel x 3100 is unclear for me so I think that you need to update.
  To my knowledge, some satellite U300 were equipped with Intel 965GM GPU.
  So if you want, you can use the latest driver from Intel page!

  > Do you have another idea?
  Unfortunately not! …Apart from upgrading the Intel reader.

• Satellite L870: Problem with USB to serial interface with FTDI chipset

  Hi all

  bought a L870 year last to run software amateur radio via USB to the serial interface.
  Interface uses the FTDI chipset.

  The problem I have is that the switch on the led on the interface flashes green to red several times to indicate that it works, but then must remain on green but task on every minute she goes through the same process again.

  All the controls on the drivers and the Manager of devices indicates that everything is ok. No problem with interface on computers laptops happens or advent.

  Is there anything on the Toshiba laurys usb ports every minute.

  Thanking you in advance for any ideas

  First of all, I must say that there are different models of L870 Satellite on the market supporting different hardware and software. Some are preinstalled with 8 and some Win with Win 7.

  In addition the L870 supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standard.
  If you recommend to check the different USB ports and check if your software works correctly with the USB 3.0 standard.

• Satellite M200 - problem detection USB connect after waking from sleep mode

  Hello. I need help! I'm having trouble with the laptop Satellite M200 (Vista) - after the awakening of the mode standby, none of the things connected to the USB port is detected, even if they worked perfectly before sleep. No mass reader, mouse, iPod is detected - even the SD for ready boost is not detected. Simple plug in and out calls any action (window AutoPlay etc.). Sounds like a BIOS problem but my laptop is completely up-to-date with all drivers and all the rest (of Windows and Toshiba support website). Would appreciate any advice. See you soon.

  > fully up-to-date with all the drivers and everything else
  The latest version of the BIOS too?

• Satellite C650 problem with USB ports

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop, with my USB ports.

  A few days ago, I plugged my mp3 to charge its battery. I did when system Windows began and after a few ports seconds has stopped working. They work for one to five minutes after starting my computer, but only after my laptop's turn off for a few hours at night for example.

  They work fine and all of a sudden we hear the sound of a disconnected device and usb ports turns off. I tried many solutions but nothing worked. I removed all the USB ports in Device Manager.

  I checked in the BIOS, but everything seems to be okay. I tried to disable the disconnection of usb ports to save energy, nothing. Tools that have been provided by Toshiba to check hardware see as usb ports work correctly. Only usbdview program sees as unknown device, I tried to uninstall it through this program but still nothing.

  You have an idea, what could happen? Or if there is no possibility to fix without service visit?
  I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Have you tested these ports USB plug a USB mouse or a USB keyboard?
  These devices work properly?

  I don t think you need a visit to the service.
  I think that it s just a software problem
  Given that the USB ports are controlled by the chipset, I would recommend reinstalling/updating the chipset driver

  The alternative is a bit drastic, I think about the recovery of the laptop...
  It might be possible that the registry has been confused upward or some 3rd party software preinstalled on the laptop could affect the USB ports.

  I remember that my USB ports do not work after installing iTunes.
  I had to reinstall the operating system once more to get the USB port work even more funny is that I installed iTunes once more and USB worked correctly

• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.

• Satellite Pro P100 - cannot boot from external USB DVD

  My internal DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 failed, and my windows is broken.
  So I bought an external DVD drive to boot from, so I can recover the system using the product recovery DVD.

  Now, he actually goes ahead and starts from the DVD. But once in the setup it gives me the message: "ERROR: file Setenv.ini D:\Setenv.ini or X:\Tools\Setenv.ini not found!

  So I went ahead and checked if the file was... it was... but it is on Drive E:\ (probably because it's a USB device I'm starting from)

  -J' did some research and found that I needed to run the command: X:\tools\recogui /FE: say the recovery my files were actually on drive E:-which has helped a little... until I got a new error where it was always looking for the *. TPA file on drive D: eventhough I have via recogui had specified otherwise.

  Now what do I do to understand everything is to the recoveryprocedure on drive E: and not D:, as he seems to think?

  As I am in the middle of a period of review, quick response would be GREATLY appreciated :)

  Bad new boyfriend!
  Boot from external DVD USB drive is NOT possible!

  You can start only from the inside, ODD, HARD, LAN disk and external USB FDD (floppy)

• Satellite M30X: Problems with external USB 2.0 HARD drive

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I bought recently a 200 GB external hard drive. It has its own power supply. If I connect with USB 2.0 on my laptop, it happens to disconnect and reconnect leads him. Sometimes it works, so I can put data on the disc. Then again, he diconnects and reconnects repeatedly. I've tried a different USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I plugged the external hard drive to many other computers (Laptop and Tower) and it STILL works! It is that with my cell phone, it disconnects and reconnects all the time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for a half an hour or two and then the action begins again...

  If anyone can help?
  Oxford Lutz

  Hello

  I put t know if this can help, but you can try to connect a USB hub with an external power supply. Then try to connect this external HARD disk to the USB hub.
  I know that it of not a exactly the solution but maybe it will help you to solve this problem of USB.

• Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

  Hi all!

  I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
  My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

  So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

  Thank you in advance.

  I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
  Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

• External Usb Audio Card Popping and cracking sound with Satellite L500

  Greetings,

  My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria, and a year ago, I bought a laptop satellite l500 series (I can't tell which is exactly the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and my user manual, the only thing that is said is that it is for L505/L500/L500D / L505D.) But from memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal, because I gave him for repairs for the same problem that I say down below)

  The problem with my laptop, is that when I plug in a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a crackling sound during live sound is played hollow map external speakers/headphones. I tried several sound cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly well with other computers, including laptops, but the problem continues even when I use an external sound card to connect to the laptop not appearing in my laptop speakers/headphones.

  The problem is important only when the signal passes through an external audio card and it is very disruptive since I use my laptop to create music and I bought a sound card expenssive and speakers that can not be used with the laptop. I tried 3 types of sound cards:

  M-Audio Fast Track Pro

  BEHRINGER uca 222

  and a simple 3d audio usb audio card external and the problem persists.

  At first, I thought that the problem is software and I should install the new drivers, windows 7 automatically recognizes and installs the drivers for the devices and I have its in (but with the cracks and educated) so I tried using the official drivers sold for me with the sound cards, but without success: the problem was still there. I tried to find the new drivers of the sound cards on long official distributors and I downloaded it but the problem was still there. Then I tried to delete all the audio drivers on my computer and just use the external sound card for sound but this eighter helps force. I updated my drivers for my sound card build - in as well but again - no luck.

  After substantial thing frist I did when (2 weeks after I bought the laptop) was to contact the store where I bought my audio card and they said that the problem may be so eighter latency or high voltage of the laptop they advised me to try to reduce the latency of the parameters or to try and see if the problem persists if only my laptop running on battery power. I tried two things, and they did not help. Audio cards worked without problems on all the other computers I tried them but me. So they told me that the problem could not be audio cards.

  What I then was that I gave my laptop for the Distributor official of toshiba in my country so that they can solve my problem. What they told me, is that a problem with the version of windows which was preinstalled on my laptop and it was not compitable with the sound cards (which was bizzar survey because I tried them on the same windows and they worked, only on other computers). So I'm back from my laptop and passed under my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate edition 64-bit and Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate edition on all versions, that's the problem: whenever I activate a low of passes of audio signal and Audio Usb card he heard cracks and educated. I even tried isntalling Windows XP, but the laptop want spesific SATA drivers for the Windows XP installation which although I found - they helped me install XP and I didn't go the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new and so on, because I'm not sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said in the official repair shop for Toshiba in my city to put XP on my computer to solve the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to work with software that isn't a recipt for its purchase (which I did not because I bought my windows xp a long time ago and I lost the recipt)

  I gave her to get it repaired for the second time by telling them that the change of my operating system has not solved my problem and what they were doing was they changed the motherboard on my computer, indicating that the build in the device realtek audio on my computer is good enough to support a card usb audio or it may be broken and they change the whole motherboard because the generation of card is stuck, so they did it, but my problem has not been resolved. They told me that although I use and map external audio usb signal always going trough my only internal and I have to disable so I tried to disable this trough Control Panel, but this does not solve the problem and I don't have a BIOS option to disable my sound card build-in. Another thing I thought that maybe the problem is that two audio cards do not work on the same bitrate and Hertz so I put both cards to 16 bit 48000 Hz DVD quality (also tried the other options on the 3 cards that I have) but it's the same thing.

  They told me that it's just my luck and the construction of the sound card does not support this external sound cards and I would had been more careful when they choose to my laptop first.

  I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:

  (1) this sound card works on a lower version of windows and are supported by many older models of Realtek and a lot of old computers (one of them bought 2000! and my laptop is of 2010!)

  (2) the guys who were the apperantley of fixing problem don't go so deeply into my problem because they didn't know that in fact the problem was that only they knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interact with them, they knew not that it cracks during the direct play the external audio card.

  (3) I can't accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing of models with maps audio chipset that cannot support a simple external Usb Audio card. It is totally unacceptable to me, and I sincerely hope that this is not the case!

  (4) they have tried my audiocards on another laptop of the same series, claiming that they have not at their dispossal at the moment so I'll go tomorrow at a local store and try the sound cards by myself on the same computer in the store.

  What I have now, it was that I gave my laptop for repair requesting a statement of the problem in wrtting with details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop, but I'll be charged with little money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external sound cards are not compitable with the build in house chipset sound card. If I give my laptop for repair, and there is no hardware problem, I'll have to pay the money. I will do this, but I'm now crazy, because that does not solve my problem and I am wasting time and money.

  What I ask here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please give me the details of the chipset built in Driver sound card on my motherboard, so I can check if it is compitable with my external sound cards and contact the dealers of the sound card to ask them their opinion. Or if you can tell me what it is compitable with and what not, that would be great. Personally, I think this laptop should have no problem at all with a simple external usb running sound card, but I ask you, if you know something more about it.

  If a problem with the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least sell) audiocards which are not in a normal standart but unfortunately I can not do nothing except complain to Toshiba and never treat whith such productgs more. Otherwise, if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem that is different and I have to go to court with the mans for mounting repair is not my laptop or do not give a new one when I guarantee will not fault of Toshiba and it will be in a way solve my problem.

  I hope that you understand how important it is for me and I hope I have fix the problem as soon as possible.

  P.S

  I want to say that I am familiar with grammar mistakes, that I did in the text below, and I would ask your excuses that I'm not a native speaker of English.

  Hi, I would just say that I had a similar failure although I wouldn't be surprised if she causing of yours, but you never have knowledge, my fault was the lid of my laptop [9 months], it contains the mic and when the lid has been in a certain angle cracks could be heard worse when I got my external sound card all the time it happened, luck, PS, it's a defective membrane [lid to the body] easily missed by engineer because he was the same angle you English is very good

• Portege Z930-118 does not recognize the external USB CD/DVD drive

  My new Z930-118, with windows 7 64 bit home, does not recognize the external CD/DVD drive when I plug it into the USB port.

  The CD/DVD device does not even appear at all in Device Manager.

  The reader is a SE-S084 Samsun and works well on another laptop.

  I already checked for the "upper_filter", "lower_filter" with the regedit, but entries are not there, so no help.

  Hello
  I m not very well how to help you.

  I found some information about this WEIRD disc and it seems that he didn't need an external power supply. Its USB bus powered so I guess around 500mA power since it is the default value provided by a USB 2.0 port.

  I don t think that there is a problem of missing software. It is a plug n play device so you need to connect it to the USB port and the system should automatically recognise.

  From my point of view of the few you try to connect the external USB ODD two ports to aid a * Y * Cableusb.
  I think the reader needs more power provided by a single USB port.
