Satellite L300 - how to activate the RW function after installing xp?

After my laptop was repaired with a new hard drive, I installed xp instead of vista.
Now I can use the dvd rom for watching movies and install programs, but it is not accessible to any blank discs.
The error window comes out whenever I have insert the drive empty and click the dvd rom.
And the size of it always shows 0 bytes. CD or blank dvd-smoking works.

Because it's a dvd/RW rom, usually I can just open and drag any file I want on the disc and then burn easily.
I already updated the firmware driver.

I wonder what the problem of the xp system that blocks the RW function?

Hi mate

Check the suggestion posted by Akuma.
But, in addition, you can check if the write option is enabled in the ODD properties.

For this, go to my computer-> CD/DVD drive properties (right click / Properties) registration mark called the option activate the writing of CD on this drive

  • How to activate the Sleep function to put the computer to sleep if a program is open?

    I have Windows Vista basic on a desktop Dell 530.  I found that if I have a program or application running (such as I-tunes or windows media player) then the Sleep function will not put the computer to sleep.  How to activate the Sleep function to replace these programs and put the computer to sleep?

    Note: This is how it was with windows XP, the Sleep function would put the computer to sleep no matter what was running, he was reliable, if you left the computer and I forgot that you had something running.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi kevino4130,

    If you disable sharing on your computer (not only the power settings) of media, it should allow him to enter the mode 'sleep'.

    See if that does not solve your problem and let us know.

    A scanned document is just an image; even if it contains text, it is not searchable.

    Put text in a scanned image available, you will need to perform the recognition of text (OCR), which can be made with Acrobat, but not the free player.

  • Satellite L300: How to record the sound from a video without sound

    OK, yes the title of the topic is not entirely clear. Here's my situation: I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 with Vista; Realtek HD Audio Manager is installed. I would like to record the sound of a video file using Goldwave (a sound editing program); but I don't want to have to listen to the sound, while it's recording.

    On Windows XP, you used to be able to record the sound of the stereo mix, but put the speakers on mute and it would record again. Now I find that I have to turn my speakers in order to record anything on my computer. (Yes, I fiddled with all mute buttons, insured that all reading and recording devices are working and front volumes. My current solution is to plug my headphones on my laptop and to reactivate the sound from the speakers to register... and not put the headphones in my ears)

    I have now spent in the last 4 hours looking for a solution, and I must say it's especially ridiculous. I used Vista before and I've heard rumors of how many people hate, but honestly, how is it that now the audio capabilities seem to be reduced?

    Does anyone have a solution of how to record sound with the speakers on mute?

    Hello

    I also recorded the audio of a video file using another software called 32. and Win XP
    I also used the stereo mix, but to be honest I have never muted the speakers while recording.
    To be honest I n don't know if it's possible, but if you want to test, you can try the Realtek HD audio Manager in the access panel and set the speakers to cut on the first tab called speaker.
    But as I said, I've never tested and that's why I m not very good if it will work.

  • Satellite L300: How to change the language of Vista

    Hi all

    I'm no expert, but my daughter bought a Satellite L300 in Germany with Vista Home Premium preinstalled in German!

    It is possible (and easy) to change it in English.

    Thanks in advance

    Well, it might be possible to change that, but it's not easy!

    First if you want to change the language of the OS, you need to download a Pack of MUI (MUI) on the Microsoft Web site.

    Unfortunately these Multilingual User Interface Pack is only supported by Vista Enterprise and Ultimate for Vista. So if you use the Home Premium version you will have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate and then to install the MUI or you will buy an English copy of Vista.

  • Satellite P100: How to activate the AHCI mode?

    As all you know, some laptops P100 series are equipped with a controller Intel 82801GBM SATA natively supports the AHCI and with a Fujitsu HDD which takes in charge the NCQ.

    However, the disc is forced in compatibility mode, and therefore the NCQ is disabled, resulting in a loss of performance (which is certainly necessary that laptop hard drives are generally slower than those of office).

    Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS which activates the AHCI mode and no tool like HWUtility that can twist that (although it wouldn't work). As far as I know, newer laptops support AHCI mode and there is also an option in the BIOS to enable it.

    Is it possible to activate the AHCI mode in our laptops beloved and make the most of our hard drives?

    Hello

    Do you think that the AHCI is disabled?
    You can run the Intel Chipset ID utility to determine if the ICH7DH SATA controller is already running in AHCI or not.

    However, I studied a little more on other forums that are a little more specific and find this:
    Activate the AHCI on Intel chipsets, without having to reinstall Windows 2000/XP

    Happy new year to you all. I have a problem with the adapter wireless following a downgrade from Vista to XP Pro home. Device Manager indicates that a network adapter, which is the LAN and it does not work properly.

    I have two points with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

    I find all the major engines of the Toshiba Australia but he lists three (I think) site possible WLAN - Atheros, RealTek, and one of the other manufacturers.

    I tried all three without success but am willing to acknowledge that I can have a mistake, perhaps by installing all three drivers at the same time for example.

    The indicator on the front of the box portable wireless lights on or off with the hard switch setting.

    I am also unable to locate the display of all available wireless netrworks, this can be a symptom of the driver is not installed.

    I tried to locate the wireless card, but it doesn't seem to be accessible through the background panels, including the Panel of RAM module.

    Any ideas please?

    > I have two Articles with one exception - Ethernet controller and Modem on Bus High Definition Audio device.

    The Ethernet controller is the WLAN adapter.
    I guess that the WLan driver is missing and so the wireless network card does not appear under network adapters

    The problem is that I have for my backup DVD because my DVD burner work not at all :/ Now I just wonder how could I return for win Vista without the DVD. Is it still possible? I also do not have small jets CD I bought my laptop. So, what should I do?

    Hi stab them.

    I think that I n the new good t for you: restore factory settings without Toshiba recovery disc isn t possible in your case! :(

    First of all I think it's normal to s no recovery disk is delivered with the laptop as you will need to create them yourself using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That is why it s recommended using high quality as Verbatim DVD-R media.

    I think that the only option to recover to factory settings is to order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    I put t understand why you didn't create this disk, because after the first boot, if you shut down the computer area, you get the following message:

  • Can satellite L300-29V - I roll back to Vista after installing XP?

    Simple question: assuming I made the recovery discs, is it possible to erase Vista, install XP and then re install Vista using recovery disks? The laptop is a Satellite L300-29V.

    A big thank you in advance I can see no clear answer elsewhere.
    John.

    Hello

    If you created the recovery disc, you can do what you want. Why? Very simple: the recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings. This means that the version of Vista pre-installed with all the drivers and tools. It is him you even have started the laptop, the first time.

    You can install XP, Linux or whatever you want. Demarrer start from the recovery disk, follow the instructions on the screen and you go back to Vista.

    I hope this information is useful for you.
