• HDD upgrade for Satellite M30 304

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M30-304. It has a 40 GB hard drive and I would like to upgrade to 120 or 160 GB.

  Could if it you please let me know the specification of compatible drive for M30 - 304?
  Can what max HDD M30-304 capacity have? Detailed specifications would be useful.

  Thank you.

  I doubt you could use a 160 GB HARD drive.
  I recommend you to check a 120 GB IDE 2.5 "HDD.

  The point is that the HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and bigger hard drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  So in my opinion the 120 GB is the largest HARD drive that can be used.

  Also check some threads here in the forum.

• Satellite M30 does not start

  I have a satellite m30 a little more than two years. When I used it one day it started making a "scratching" noise, he locked himself, when I stopped saying something about the emptying of readers (?). now it won't start at all, is simply the "scratching" noise Anyone know what it is?

  Hi deb_uk

  Generally, it should be a first think to try to boot from the CD and reinstall the operating system.
  To boot from the CD press the C key immediately after starting the laptop (push the power button)

• Satellite M30 don't start more

  Hello

  My Satellite M30 wont start... when I press the power button, the power led lights up, the cd light will blink once and then nothing happens...

  can certain a plez point me in the direction of Scripture?

  Help, please!
  thanx

  Hello

  You know, without any of the detailed tests we can only suggest what might be wrong.
  I think there must certainly be a hardware problem because I guess that you can not see the start screen for Toshiba at the beginning of the startup procedure.

  It might be something wrong with the motherboard. I put t don't know if this helps but try to remove the power supply and the laptop AC adapter for several times. After 10-15 minutes, you could put the power supply in the notebook and connect the power adapter. Try to start.

  But if it doesn't help then in my opinion, a technician must check the device.
  Sorry for this general suggestion but I think it's the best way to know what's wrong.

• Sporadic satellite M30-304 USB failure mouse

  Have the laptop above under XP. After that 2 years running a mouse USB laser without probs, suddenly the pointer stops for a few seconds, then takes over again, stops, starts etc. Very maddening. There is an error message saying every so often the device connected to the USB port is not installed correctly.

  I uninstall the software for the mouse and the re - install, run all my anti-virus software and Tracker, still the same problem. the trackpad still works fine, so I decide it takes the mouse and buy a new one and install it. It worked fine for a few weeks now, so today the same problem!

  Did he have the same problem or know a solution?

  Hello

  I don't use a Satellite M30 but a Satellite M40.
  I use it for a year and I have no problem with my mouse.
  I can't believe that the laptop has a malfunction, because as you say in your announcement of new mouse worked initially.
  I have no idea why your mouse pointer stops. Maybe the mouse driver causes a strange failure.
  You can also try to remove the shape of USB ports, Device Manager.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the USB ports again with a standard configuration.
  Then, you can try to reconnect the mouse.

  You can also try to use the mouse without having to install the drivers for mouse manufacturing delivered. Check it out

• Satellite M30: Does not start XP

  My Tosh Satellite M30 laptop (with 2 HD discs) does not work after I have updated with the MS security updates, it does not start XP.

  The laptop makes a clicking sound and gives me the message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found.

  I changed the boot order in the BIOS to: CDROM. And select Exit and save changes.
  Inserted my Toshiba Recovery windows XP version that allows me the option of
  "1. the recovery disc" or "2. Expert recovery mode"or also"Exit ".
  I chose "1. Recovery disc"as I'm not an expert (as you can tell!)

  I then get a load of diagnostic checks run by laptop and it shows then finally on the screen:
  X:\\ no disk fixed

  Ideally, I would like to repair and keep things I have on my drive D: HD.

  I'm pretty sure the XP starts on my drive C: HD.

  Your help is very appreciated!

  Suraj

  Hello

  The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

  If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

  I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M30-304 - strange questions after BIOS update

  Hi all

  I updated my BIOS according to the good driver for Satellite M30. However, since this operation took the endless problems with screen and wireless card. Also the screen used to display flash BIOS only now them a Centrino, Centrino logo sometimes sometimes Mr. Pentium, I don't know that the version of BIOS is incorrect for my laptop. If I try to re - install the upgrade, it is said version already installed 1.7, so will not continue.

  1. is there a way to force the re - install the same version?
  2. someone can the upgrade me of the correct BIOS Setup for the model n ° PSM30E-0QKJ1-5U, I installed the version was 20070807154017

  The history is quite interesting. AFAIK Centrino logo is there if the Centrino platform is in use.

  The Centrino platform consists of:
  an Intel Pentium M processor
  a chipset Intel 855 of the series
  an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802 11 b) mini-PCI wireless adapter

  If a component is removed (Intel PRO/Wireless mini-PCI wireless adapter) the Centrino logo will disappear. I don't really know why logo is from time to time, but you did the right BIOS update. There is no other for your laptop model.

  Can you please tell me what is the problem with your wireless network adapter? You can use just sporadically or what?

• Satellite M30-704 slow start and IDE #2 0203 failure message after replace it

  Hello

  two problems:
  first after replacing the cd/dvd drive, my computer does not start now automatically and displays a "IDE #2 0203 failure" message. I can start then it but all of that takes time?

  second problem: until I can access any program, a message will appear: "apdproxy.exe - Application error - the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006)" appears twice before so I can continue and then the computer is very slow.

  Can anyone offer solutions? (ps - these two problems are not related that they occurred the month apart).

  Thank you, Gardiner

  (1.) I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new drive correctly because wrong settings master/slave/c-salt but he s strange the player is running.
  I think you should check in the Device Manager, the primary and secondary IDE channels.
  The transfer mode must be on DMA if available and the type of automatic detection device

  2.), it seems the ' apdproxy.exe is a part of the Adobe Photoshop or a similar application.
  This software may cause an error. So just try reinstalling this program

• Satellite M30: Windows cannot start because a file is missing

  Error message: Windows cannot start because a file is missing.
  \Windows\system32\config\system

  You can repair from ordinary cd and use "r" for repair.

  How to use recovery cd for this... It does not work.

  Hello

  It's not easy to use the repair mode because the recovery image file CD. The other way is that you try to start the operating system is the safe mode and look if the lack of files exist in the C:\I386 folder. If not, well I think that the only way is to recover the system with the recovery CD.

  Hello

  I know not all SD card sizes are supported.
  I m does not quote sure what max SD card format can be used in the slot of the M30, but probably 2 GB of SD card is not compatible.

  However, you said that you want to format the SD card, but have you tried to use the format utility Toshiba SD memory card?

  Please check this!

  All the tools and drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.
  But note; M30 drivers have been moved to the Archives!
