Satellite L305-S5939: bridge & Speedboost Vista card media adapter

I just bought a Satellite L305-s5939 and forgot to consult it when I bought it.
Before I opened the box, I wanted to understand two things.

First of all, what is a bridge of media card adapter?
He said that this computer has one on the specifications.
This means - it is not built in and I have to put the adapter whenever I want to use?

Second adapter of this type does not allow the use of Speedboost for Vista.
I just assumed that all laptops had standard built in memory card readers, but it read adapter bridge and makes me nervous.

I thank you,
P.

Hey Buddy

It is a Toshiba laptop model we

  • I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit). Unable to get a backup to a flash drive. Error: 0 x 81000029

    Original title: I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305-S5894 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed (32 bit).  Unable to get a backup to a flash drive.

    After back back, very many updates of windows, my computer is full of problems and it is not representative of the restore points far enough back to correct.  I want really to save my data and programs for flash drive (s) and then go for a full recovery of the system (return to factory).  When you try to do the backup on a 4 GB USB key I get an error including 0 x 81000029.  I have seen posted answers to this.  Everything is included to aid Vista disk from the window which was not included when I bought my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

    1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
    2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
    3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
    4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.

    You may receive error messages when you try to perform a backup operation on a Windows Vista-based computer

  • Satellite L305-S5920: Question about PC card, new use HDD & Win XP

    I recently bought this machine in the mail and on arrival was disappointed to see that it is not equipped with a Firewire plug - I thought that all the machines which had today? Too bad, I thought I'd use my PCMCIA Firewire card. But then I found that what looks like a standard PCMCIA socket has a block to halfway down on one side which prevents a normal PCMCIA card being inserted. Snookered. What is this decision? Not one of my PC cards will go in.

    I then tried, had always been my intention to replace the 160 gb HD with a new 500 GB it and install XP on it. It's a very long story, but it culminates at Toshiba telling me that "this model will not work XP. Someone at - it ideas how to get around this problem?

    Either way, I don't seem to have all the means to re-establish a new HD Vista if/when this one fails. Am I expected to go out and buy, or I missed something? There is no "recovery partition" on the hard drive so there is no way that I can produce my own recovery disk.

    I then tried to play a DVD, to be told that it was the wrong region and could not be played. Quite absurd to place this restriction on laptops - I live in two Americas and Britain - but once again so much worse, I'll just load AnyDVD and continue nevertheless. But no - the carpet * a drive mounted by Toshiba is one of the few that cannot be decrypted.

    Therefore this machine, which works well in its own design constraints, is nowhere near what I wanted and expected it to be. Can someone suggest a solution to all of the above questions? Because I already ordered a different brand which according to me does not have these limits, but it would be useful to keep this as a spare if I can fix it.

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that there is some design flaws
    Akuma has already said, there are devices that supports different standards.

    In any case, for the first I recommend that you check this Toshiba page we:

    [Satellite L305-S5920 - details-| http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2241928& rpn = PSLB8U & modelFilter = L305-S5920 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663]

    You will find here all the details on this model Sat L305
    In the detailed specifications, you can find the info that this laptop uses the Express Card slot (ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54). You must use Express cards instead of PCMCIA cards!

    You can also install the Win XP I n know not why, someone said that you can not do this strange however, you can install the Win XP and I found XP drivers too! Please visit US!

    The recovery of HARD drive partition is placed on European models of Toshiba. I put t know how it works on Toshiba WE series (perhaps drive HARD recovery is not available on laptops in the United States), but perhaps you need to create the first recovery disk in order to recover the laptop to factory settings.

  • Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

    I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
    I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

    However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
    Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

    Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
    Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

    I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

    If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
    http://wubi-Installer.org/
    It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  • Satellite L305-S5919 - downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hey everybody Faizan my names and my problem is that I want to go down to XP cause I don't like vista at all

    I know all the steps to downgrade to xp as to change the bios to compatibility, but there is only one problem

    I just need an insurance to someone that it won't hurt my system in any way, cause I heard some friends saying to compatibility mode eats the hard disk and slows down the PC that you use a path former system of 1998.

    So, in this case or its some rumors?

    * FAST response *.

    > I just need an insurance to someone that it won't hurt my system in any way, cause I heard some friends saying to compatibility mode eats the hard disk and slows down the PC that you use a path former system of 1998.

    Compatibility mode means that SATA HDD controller will not work with performance SATA (faster), but this option should emulate the IDE controller.
    In this case the SATA drivers would be unnecessary. But the HARD drive could run slower

  • Adapter car for Satellite L305-S5939

    Hi all
    Can you please help me with the choice of a correct car adapter for the laptop mentioned above?
    I understand that there is no such addapter which is manufectured by Toshiba
    and advice from Toshiba (the catalogue_ _In accessories) is to use adapters Tragus Mobile universal AC\DC which seems to be quite expensive.
    I found cheaper car adapters that are supposed to be suitable for this model, but the question is whether it is safe to buy cheap adapters (about 20$-30$) and but in risk laptop $ 600 worth?
    Someone here has it or model similar to laptop and use a car adapter?

    Thank you in advance,

    Cheap adapters can damage the laptop. The problem is that good adapters markets have circuits or good components markets and have no protection against surges of power of more expensive cards.
    This is a power spike or a dip in your car (for example when start you the engine), it could blow the adapter, or worse ~ blow the laptop.

    I think that the Targus are good enough to use. Better safe than sorry :)

  • Satellite A215-S5818 - feature SD reader/Bridge Media adapter

    Well I need help with my SDCard reader/bridge media adapter that s built into my laptop.
    It seems that when I put an SD card, nothing seems to happen and I put t know if it s works or not.

    Currently, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818. I tried to see if she needed an update but it was aware, I don't know what could be the problem if someone can help.

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    > It seems that when I put an SD card, nothing seems to happen and I don t know if it s works or not.

    The SD card must be visible in my computer after that it was inserted into the slot of the card reader.
    If you do not see the SD card then that would mean that it is not recognized correctly.

    First you should check if you use compatible cards. Not all sizes are supported! Have you checked the user manual? Do this!
    The A215 is unknown to me but I know (similar to A215) notebook A210 series supports 8MB - 2GB SD cards.
    Large SD cards are not supported.

    You can install Vista using Microsoft DVD facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you should find on Toshiba support site.

    Hello

    All devices on your laptop recognized in device properly Manager or if you have yellow exclamation points?

    I assumed that the Satellite L305 has not been delivered with Vista 64 bit so did the work of micro with preinstalled Vista?

    Maybe you should try to update the audio driver of your laptop. On the Toshiba site I didn t find a 64 bit Vista driver but maybe you are looking for a driver on the site of the factory of the sound card or on the Europe of Toshiba for Satellite L300 page (it s similar to yours).

  • Satellite L305-S5919 - slow modem speed

    Hello people. Right now I have this modem driver - * Toshiba Software Modem for Windows Vista (Agere). * But I'm not all that nice to her performance, so I thought to try another.

    I'm looking at that - is * Motorola Modem Driver for Windows Vista (32/64-bit) *. The information about this said, it is compatible with my model, but I didn't know if it would work as the one I have is Agere (Agere, it's what it came with nine).

    I have a Satellite L305-S5919, Vista 32 bit and Toshiba Software Modem Agere Driver 2.1.77.

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    I think that the problem is not the driver, it s technology modem itself. You know that the speed of the modem is 56,000 Kbps?

    The point is that most of the websites are already designed for broadband connections, because they have a lot of high-resolution graphics and other multimedia stuff.

    In your case, I would choose another Internet connection ;)

  • How to partition Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista?

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista and dual you want to boot with ubuntu linux. At present, there are three partitions, recovery vista 1.5 GB, 150 GB C and 150 GB E (with recovery of HARD drive inside). My ubuntu, I would like to partitions / and / Home (about 150 GB). Should I delete the partition E? I have my recovery DVD's...

    What is the best approach, I think that linux is only 4 partitions.

    > Should I delete the partition E?
    If you created the recovery DVDs, you can remove HDDRecovery and use the second partition for Linux. When you want to install once again just use recovery media created Vista.

    If you change the structure of the partition, no doubt, you will not be able to use saved image in this folder.

  • Satellite L305-S5968: cannot select a resolution higher than 1280 x 800 px

    Last June, I bought a Satellite L305-S5968.

    A month ago my hard drive crashed and luckily I was able to recover some data.
    I sent again to make the drive replaced and reinstalled Vista.
    When I came back I did all the usual driver updates and when I did everything I could get resolution 1280-800 but I had 1280-1024 prior to the crash.

    I tried to go to Intel but their driver for my Chipset Mobile Intel 4 family was apparently not intended for this laptop and would not even install. After having talked to Toshiba about this, they said I had to do the recovery CD rather than the extended warranty which installed Vista has not installed the appropriate driver. I paid my males 25 for the pair of CD and proceeded to reinstall. After all this all over again once I've ALWAYS done could not get the resolution I wanted and always feel the same issues with not being able to install the drivers on the Intel site.

    Is there someone who can help me out here please? If I did not provide enough detail please let me know.

    Thank you! :)

    Hello

    Have you tried the driver from the Toshiba page we?
    This seems to be a laptop out on the U.S. market and that's why I recommend the driver from US page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    In addition, you might install a driver from Intel page, but you will have to do it in the Device Manager.
    Here, you point to the driver manually files using the Advanced installation procedure.
    This would allow to choose Intel page files.

    PS: If your display supports the native resolution of 1280x800px max then you will not be able to choose a higher resolution, even if you have used another graphic driver

  • Problem of storage space satellite L305-S5962 HARD drive when installing XP

    Hello

    Last week, I ordered two TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5962 for my children and finally happened yesterday.
    I was so glad that I found all drivers XP needed for it on Toshiba USA website, however something weird happened when I went to install XP over there.

    It came with preloaded Vista and while under Vista, I checked the HARD drive space it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read C 131 GB only partition.
    So, if you round up to about 130 GB, where the other 90 GB's?

    This problem has happened to these two Toshibas, and read the two HDD substantially the same.
    In Vista, it reads close to 250 GB, but when installing XP blue screen (once I turn off the AHCI setting in BIOS) it reads at 131 GB. Is this some kind of driver issue? or to issue OS with AHCI?

    On the Toshiba site there are two HARD drive drivers, are a .exe and the other a .zip file.
    I tried both in the XP installation CD of nLite, but it does not help.
    It still reads GB 131, so now I have no idea what to do, or maybe I have something wrong during the splicing of nLite?

    In any case, if anyone has some insight on this problem, please let me know.

    Thank you!

    -G.P.

    P.S. Here is the link to site from USA, for XP SP2/SP3 drivers, HARD disk drivers.

    Even once, if someone has seen, thank YOU!

    > I checked disk space HARD it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read the partition C 131 GB only.

    The HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions.
    The first partition contains OS preinstalled; Vista
    The second partition contains the image of Toshiba HDD and the last third partition is hidden. It s a small partition created by Vista and it contains the backup files. These files can be used if something goes wrong with Vista OS or if Vista needs to be repaired.

    So I guess you've seen only the first partition that contains the operating system Vista
