Satellite L40 - cannot read with Windows XP SDHC cards?

Hello

last year, I bought a Satellite L40 series and a Windows Vista has been installed on it. I found that everything worked properly.

Since then, I found that Windows Vista is slower than XP, I upgraded to Windows XP and I installed all the drivers manually. Everything works fine until I found that I can read only SD card with the Ricoh card reader on my laptop. With Windows Vista, he could read SD and SDHC.

Like all of my files saved to the SDHC, I really want to solve this issue.

I detected on the computer that is my card reader equipment:

Ricoh Memory Stick Host controller (1.0.2.5)
Ricoh MMC Host COntroller (1.0.0.9)
Ricoh XD-Picture Card Host Controller (1.00.02.08 / 6.0.1.13)

The questions are:
1. the drive to read SDHC card with the Windows XP platform?
2. If Yes, what should I do with it? Maybe I need to install a new driver? (If Yes, where can I find it?)

Thank you for your concern. I'm really happy if you can help me solve this issue.

Best regards
Jenny

Hello

You may notice yellow exclamation in Device Manager?

Normally, the Satellite L40 can read SDHC cards up to 8 GB so my question is have you tried different brands of SDHC cards?
I have good experiences with Kingston and SanDisk cards.

In addition, you should check the Web from Toshiba site for an update of the card reader:

Last but not least you have installed all the Service Packs and updates for Windows?

  • SD card reader cannot read a 4 GB SDHC card.

    I have a gateway MT6451. I've updated the driver. Seems to be a Vista issue. He reads the card if I have it in a device, so I know that the card is good. The drive works because he recognizes a 2 GB SD card.

    SD card reader will not read a 4 GB SDHC card, help please.

    Hello

    Check with the gateway as this card reader isn't able to read SDHC format cards.

    I hope this helps.

  • Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

    Can someone help me with this.
    My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

    I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

    It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

    Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
    Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

  • Satellite A300 - cannot read the second HARD drive

    Greetings from the Spain,

    I got 1 month there is a serious problem with my laptop (which is 5 months old), associated with crcdisk.sys.

    I gave up after several hours studying, and send the computer serving techniques. (Vista was does not load and no recovery was possible)
    Technical services changed 1 hard drive and the motherboard (don't ask me why)
    This computer cams with 2 HD (these 2 devices)

    The first has a recovery partition.
    The problem now is that I see the second HD (D :) but I can't read or access it.)
    However, McAfee, it can scan and I can see the names of files (they were there before sending it to T.Service) during the scan.

    The only solution I have Toshiba is "send it back", but with the previous experience I've had with this guy, maybe now they put a new keyboard and wait another month...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    _Update_

    Now I can read the second disc of Internet expolrer..., i.e. D:\documents... I read a few videos, I got there and seems to work.
    However, I cannot read with ordinary windows Explorer or cannot write files from any program.

    BTW. I can access from the Explorer, but just the files, i.e. d:\documents\letters, but not to the root?

    You have installed the laptop with the recovery disk? Try this!

    What operating system do you use? If you are using Vista control this information from Toshiba:

    Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

    You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
    As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
    Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

    Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
    By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
    And then you could boot from the new CD.

    > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
    > can not load hard drive
    > Insert systemdisk and press a key

    This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.

  • Satellite L40 - 14F - can't make my sound card works with XP

    I can't make my sound card works. I tried to install all versions of drivers, but not sound.
    Then I tried installing high-definition sound updated for windows XPSP2 and still nothing.

    Ultimately, when I installed the drivers for another computer, I could see a sound card in Device Manager, but I got! the driver and it says "the device cannot start. I installed a new original drivers and once more, nothing has changed.

    Is there a possible way to solve this problem?
    PS. using Toshiba L40-14 f :-) and Windows XP pro with service pack 2.

    Hello

    Satellite L40 - 14F belongs to the series of PSL4CE.
    XP drivers for this series don t exist on the Toshiba page at the moment!

    I have found that the package of XP driver for PSL48, PSL49, PSL4C and PSL4B model number!

    So, it seems that you simply try to install incompatible drivers!

    If I m not wrong not the device uses the Codec Realtek ALC660 chip and chip high definition audio Intel HDA (Azalia)!

    Check the driver from the Intel page and upgrade the XP to the last State at the beginning

    Isn't it? So why you want to update? Just because Tempro says there's a new update?

    In any case try to manually download the VAP.

    Save the PPV on the HARD drive and unzip it.
    Uninstall the VAP old everything first, clean the registry with CCleaner.

  • Satellite A20 cannot read SD memory card

    I have a portable Satellite A20. I can read SD cards up to 1 GB. I tried to read a card with 2 GB (and format). It does not work. Who can help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Post edited by: Rg1957

    Hello

    When the A20 was produced right now on the market, there is no SD card with more than 1 GB of capacity. Much more old models of portable computers cannot read the new SD cards. It is the same on my old Tecra M1.

    I'm afraid there is not much to do.

    The following devices are incompatible with Windows 7, the Upgrade Advisor:
    -ACPI Bluetooth
    -Bluetooth RFBUS
    -Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller

    If I understand correctly, after upgrading to Windows 7 Blueooth and the card reader will not work. I searched the net for updates of pilot, but did not find any.

    Can someone please tell me if there is a Windows 7 compatible driver available for these devices and if not, when they do? Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Most computers mobile new generation are compatible with Windows 7.
    The hardware components are strong enough to get Win 7 smoothly.

    If you can install Windows 7, but the question is if Win 7 drivers for A100 will be published on the page of Toshiba.
    Maybe maybe not. We'll see
    If you won't find Win 7 drivers on the page then you will have to search for the drivers on different websites and will have to collect the drivers with your own hands

    See you soon

  • Satellite C660-12R - Compatible with Windows XP?

    Hi friends,

    I would like to ask if my Toshiba Satellite C660-R12 is compatible with Windows XP? I'm not able to find any information about it.

    Thanks for your help
    w.

    Hi wencman,

    It is important to know if you can get all the drivers for your model laptop and Windows XP. This should be checked on the official page of Toshiba:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Satellite C660-12R belongs to the PSC0QE series and as you can see all the drivers for Windows XP are available so to install XP should be no problem. You can download the drivers official and pre-tested. :)

  • Satellite L40-139 - need driver Windows XP Home edition for 'ethernet '.

    Please can you send me the link to Satellite L40 ethernet control model of laptop for Windows XP Home edition?

    Hello

    Satellite L40-139 belongs to the PSL40E series. Am I wrong?
    You can check the serial number of your laptop. It should be placed somewhere at the bottom of the unit. Check all labels.

    Anyway, the Toshiba driver European page doesn't provide XP drivers for this series at this time. Seems you have to wait a bit until all pilots to be released!

    For the only moment that two versions of the BIOS for L40 PSL40E if released.
    The BIOS must be updated to the XP version, if you want to use XP on this laptop.

    By the way; It seems that this series is supported by the Base map - TX Ethernet Realtek 10/100.
    Then you can try the LAN driver from the site Web of Realtek. Should also work.

    Good bye

Even if I turn it on, there is no light and if I check the power connection options AC adapter is recognized. Operating system is Windows XP PRO SP2.
