Satellite L300 - rip always music if I insert a music CD

Hi guys

New owner of laptop Satellite L300 with frustration. The answer is probably dead easy but it really gets to me now.

Whenever I insert a music CD to listen to the music, the laptop decides to extract the music from my library. I tried to disable this in the box options but it doesn't seem to matter which it is configured, it STILL rips music to the library. I'm absolutely not EVERY CD, I never listen to, be stored on my laptop. I wish I could choose the tracks I rip to my laptop.

Anyone know where am wrong me or is this another gremlin of VIsta? Any help would be appreciated

See you soon
AllTosh

Hi mate,

Can I ask what software you use for listening music? Do you mean Windows Media Player?
If Yes, make sure you use the most recent and heartbreaking version can be disabled in the options. Check again!

In addition, I use VLC media player to listen to music. It's really good alternative program and you should test it too.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - made recovery but disc does not work

    I have a Satellite L300 and did a few sets of recovery discs from what I read some brands work and some don't, and none have so far.

    Insert Diskette 1, press the button and hold F12 key until the startup option appears.
    Select CD/DVD and then back type box appears with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - startnet.cmd
    and in the box waiting for ODD vacancies...

    You can add several points after that as nothing is more - so three sets of recovery disks on three different brands of DVD any advice would be pleaseing!

    Hello

    According to your description, the system restore procedure does not start, and the STRANGE can not read the disc.

    In your case I would recommend recover laptop using Toshiba HDD recovery.
    You can start the procedure of HARD drive; Press F8, choose repair my computer, Toshiba HDD recovery.
    Now the system restore should products

    After the laptop has been set to factory settings, check to see if there is an update of firmware for this CURIOUS (CD/DVD drive). If yes-> update the firmware.
    I know you tried three different brands of DVD but you should always try to create a recovery disk using another DVD disc I m using TDK DVD-R and had good experience with it. One of my friends uses Verbatim DVD-R and never had problems

  • Satellite L300 01:00 in WinXP-drive CD/DVD turns and stops alternately

    Hello
    I bought a new Satellite L300 01:00
    I installed Windows XP Home SP3 System (using nLite and driver of SATA Storage Manager) and all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website.

    I have problem with CD/DVD drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N):
    -copy of CD/DVD on the HARD drive looks like follow: for some data of time (a few seconds up to several minutes) are the copy; then drive slows down and stops, the copy is stopped, progress bar doesn't move; After 1 minute for example the drive begins to spin and copy the next part of data. Sometimes the system stops to answer and it should reset the computer, sometimes computer restarts automatically.
    -listen to the audio CD music and watch DVD movies look like, it is easy to imagine...
    -uninstaling DVDRAM in Device Manager and reboot system helps a bit, i.e. the copy time becomes a little longer..., sometimes the problem occurs with the next CD/DVD in the drive
    AudioSilencer - don't change anything
    -write on CD/DVD is also impossible - progress bar stops after 1-2 minutes and nothing happens. Yellow led is always on and the shutdown process, you need to restart the system.

    What is interesting, drive works perfectly with the latest Debian LiveCD...

    Someone at - it ideas?
    Thanks in advance

  • Satellite L300 - Chaning the HARD drive partitions

    I'm not a computer expert, so answers in clear English + please.

    I own a Satellite L300. Recently, the hard disk was doing fairly complete. I save all my files in "My Documents" etc... I had a look under my computer and the volume C: (called 'Vista') has only 5 GB of free space. However, there is also another volume E: (called 'Data'), and this volume is almost empty, apart from a folder called HDDRecovery.

    I would like to start using this free space. I tried to reduce the size of the E: volume and the volume C:, but - although I can reduce volume E: via Start-computer-Manage - I can't increase the volume C:. In any case, I could only reduce the E: volume by half.

    I created the recovery DVD, so can I remove this volume E: or not? And if I do, I'll be able to extend the C: volume to fill my hard drive?

    If not, can I just start to save files in the E: volume it will affect what is already there?

    What is the best course of action? What I would really like is just a very large volume, so that my files are in one simple place.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    First I put t understand why reduce you the E: volume or use only one partition. In my opinion every computer must have at least two partitions. On the second partition, I always save my documents, videos, photos, music, etc.. It is cool and can save a lot of time because if I reinstall Windows using the recovery disk, all the files it will not be deleted, only the first partition.
    As you can see, the second partition is a useful feature!

    But if you have the Toshiba Recovery disk you can do what you want. If a problem occurs, you can restore the settings from the factory with this disc in a few minutes.

    By the way: here's an interesting article on the Windows disk management:

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have tested the HARD drive in a box of another and external HARD drive laptop without success the case is clear: the HARD drive needs to be replaced because it s defective!

    I can understand that you want to recover your data, but what do you do if you are not able to access? In this case you need assistance, a special data recovery lab, but it is not cheap and costs hundreds of dollars.

    I m wondering that you don't have a backup. Have you never tried to do it or thought it would be useful?

    Last but not least a new HARD drive can be ordered at a service provider authorized in your country or each computer store. Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.

  • Satellite L300 - boring loading problems

    Hello world.

    I've got my Satellite L300 nice for about 23 months now, and I absolutely love it.
    There is just one problem: my PC is not loading properly. There are always about a 1/50
    lucky, I have to play with the inputs and output for all 5-10 minutes each
    I plug it in time. I had this problem before (about two months ago) where I sent it
    Back to the store and they fixed. I was able to pick up there is still almost a month
    and everything worked properly again.

    It's really, really frustrating and I hope there is a solution simple sorta.
    Anyone who is familiar with this problem and to know what exactly is the problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    This kind of technical problems, there is no simple solution.
    If you have a serious issue with load problem, it is probably related to electronic power supply and it must be checked by authorized personnel only.

    Tell me but honestly: what can you fix these problems?

  • Satellite L300 - product key Windows 7 required

    Hello. I bought my Toshiba Satellite L300 in 2011 and it came with windows vista preinstalled. Some time later, we learned that Toshiba gave a free upgrade to windows 7. I got the install disks and install windows7. I had zero problems with my machine since and have been a very happy customer - until very recently.

    I emptied my trash recently and for some reason, there were a few critics files in there, so now, my machine does not start. I don't know how they got there because they were in the trash administrator and I always use a subordinate user account - for security reasons.

    Long story short, I tried to start my computer using the windows 7 installation disc which worked perfectly until I had to enter the product key. Unfortunately, the product key on the label of my laptop is for windows vista so I thought that it is not valid. I wonder if I can recover my product key of windows 7 from anywhere? Toshiba would have a record of what they could send me? I was informed by microsoft that I get from Toshiba.

    To complicate things, I bought the laptop in Ireland, but now lives in South Korea, so I can't at home get the product key.

    I have the Toshiba DVD upgrade, the product key would be there?

    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Toshiba does not provide a unique product for the Windows system keys.
    Toshiba offers own recovery disks / averages in order to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

    Windows system which is part of the image of Toshiba is already enabled and does not require the additional serial key.

  • Need help with the recovery of the System Satellite L300-149

    Hello

    We have a Satellite L300-149.
    Was running really slowly then wanted to reset it to factory settings.

    Doesn't the "press F12 during startup, insert the disk in" etc etc BUT have a horrible feeling that I put a disc to which belonged in fact to a different Toshiba, we used to use a U300.
    'Give' was that the manual for the U300 is now on the desktop on the Satellite :-/

    I hope that this would not be a major problem BUT the F8 key is gone now it's impossible to connect to the internet.

    I looked online and read that the L300 sometimes doesn't come with a disc that the info is kept on a separate part of the disk hard hope so I could reset it back to settings to factory again but when I click on F2 on start up and go to the option to restore it, noting happens.

    Can someone please help?

    Hello

    Forget HARD drive recovery now
    You have recovered the system using another disc and it has been removed and the HARD recovery disk image files. If this option is NOT possible!

    You reason that the L300 and all other laptop does not come with recovery discs.
    The recovery disk must be created using the recovery disk Creator called preinstalled software. But it is also NOT possible because you deleted the preinstalled system and the files that are needed for this recovery disk are no longer available!

    But if everything is working properly except the WLan FN + F8 key, then I recommend you only install the Wlan driver. I think that the key does not work because the right WLan driver is not installed.

    I think that the Satellite L300-149 supports the smart WiFi Realtek RTL8187B.
    Then install the right driver Wlan you can find here:

  • No audio device installed Satellite L300-28R (PSLB8E-12T018GR)

    Hello

    My English isn't the best, unfortunately. Maybe someone can help me.

    The following problem:

    A Satellite L300 ran without problems until now with windows 7 (32 bit). I had then increased PC speakers of this came of trust with a USB flash drive that will serve as an audio interface for mailboxes. He has been infected by the first recognized by Win7, installed, and I could use Ihne. But then the sound card integrated (Realtek HD Audio) is disabled. Now, when I remove the USB audio interface I have no more sound. There is a lack of complete the "Realtek HD Audio" entry in the audio control.

    In the Device Manager is not an entry ' Audio, video and game controllers' also appear longer. The interesting thing about the HD audio driver, but he is always installed correctly. It is found but no entry for more video, audio, game controllers, and if I was in the toolbar the look of speakers just click on it a red cross when he get up "no audio output device installed."

    On this, I tried to uninstall the system USB audio drivers (no problem) has restarted. Not always the same sound problem.

    That's why I completely uninstalled all drivers audio and tried Windows 7 default drivers. The same problem. I uninstalled the audio drivers, this time I tried the drivers Toshiba, same problem.

    Fact is I can remove all the drivers, reinstall, which happens without problem and the error message, then it is same because "drivers have been installed, the machine can be used now" I click on what there is also my drine Realtek HD Audio. But then I opened the Soundsteurung he wrote me, "No audio device installed" it's almost as if the onboard sound has been disabled in the BIOS, but unfortunately there is no entry exists, since the BIOS is usually something to bend parameters.

    I have integrated sound card in my vemutung the BIOS from a USB audio interface is disabled, I would now like to 'hidden' bios unlock options and manually activate the sound again. Unfortunately, I do not know how do I unlock the BIOS.

    Is there anything else maybe ideas, suggestions or solutions? Have already the system is set up with new same problem, the drivers are installed, the device is detected and marked as ready, but not input in the audio control and no entry in the Manager of devices for "audio, video and game controllers".

    Once had a similar problem with my desktop where I could pass without any problem, but the onboard sound in the BIOS again, unfortunately, what with the Toshiba BIOS Lite is not the case.

    Hope someone can help me here, slowly I won't now, so that a new installation was not, I see the problem with the BIOS setting.

    Answers in German would be nice

    Greetings and thanks

    Hi mate

    To be honest I'm not quite sure what the problem might be m.
    Your ad is also a bit confusing.

    First of all, the BIOS is not similar to the BIOS that you can find on desktop PC and as far as I know there is no special option to enable or disable the sound card.

    So I think that in your case, it s BIOS not deliver.
    I think that its Windows operating system that makes some disorders who knows maybe the registry is confused up similar facts is that you should see some yellow exclamation points in device if Manager driver would be absent or you should see an unknown device in the devices list

    The latest Realtek audio driver could be downloaded directly from the Realtek page, but even if the Realtek audio driver is not installed Win7 standard driver should recognize the sound chip and sound must be detected during the operating system installation.

    I think you should try to install a driver from Realtek but if this won't help you, then you should try a new installation of the OS. Get it back you would help define the laptop back to factory settings and I think it's the fastest solution in your case

  • Satellite L300 - 22L - who to upgrade RAM?

    Hello.

    I have laptop Satellite L300 - 22L. Can you tell me which is the best RAM to my system in speed and capacity?

    Hello!

    Satellite L300 - 22L belongs to the PSLB8E series and is equipped with an Intel GL40 chipset.

    This means that for the upgrade of the RAM you need of modules with the DDR2 667 MHz specification for a maximum of 4 GB.

    Theoretically, you can buy modules with these specifications of each production, but I have good experiences with the Kingston modules. I always use them to improve my notebooks and never had any problems.

I bought it in August last year and this is the first time that I need help, but you would have thought that they would have made it easier to the needs of customers!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    > Home Office thing
    Nice description ;)

    In any case, I think you mean the version of Microsoft Office that is preinstalled on your laptop. As far as I know that s only a trial version of it and that means you need to buy a version of office if you want to continue using it.

    If you n t buy a version of desktop, you can t more use it.

    Finally, and especially if you have several problems, you should contact a Toshiba instead authorized service provider directly.
