• Satellite P100-429: how to burn on DVD?

  Got a Satellite P100 429 he will write DVDs? He says, but I can't seem to do it (without recorder) is all I get.
  If it can HOW? (driving me crazy)

  Hello

  I imagine that you replace didn t drive of the laptop.
  Many laptops come with a different hardware configuration. This means that as different readers might be installed in the laptop. But if you bought the laptop with the DVD burner I see not why the reader should not burn the DVD.

  What burning software do you use? I use Nero. It's great and easy to use.
  I advise to use it for burning media. It supports CDs and DVDs

• Satellite M30-604 will not write on DVD

  I've been sucessfully copy data to a CD with Nero in the past and decided to try to copy to a Verbatim 4 x certified DVD - RW and have no chance (says the 'negative' RW was compatible with Tosh). Tried in Nero but it gets stuck on "waiting for the drive to become ready". Tried Drag and Drop but it ask me to insert a disk.

  I tried to reinstall the Toshiba DVD-RAM driver (but I have no idea if this is what I need), unchecked the "enable CD writing on this drive" in the properties of the D drive, but so far without success. My laptop has a DVD-R/RW drive which I guess, allows me to copy data on DVD. Any help greatly appreciated, I don't know what else to do!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  as a first step, you need to uninstall one of the burning software and try to burn a DVD again!
  Then you need to update your Nero, it may be that you are using an older version that is not able to burn DVDs with your car!
  A firmwareupdate of your player is also helpful! You can download it from http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home

• Satellite M30-604 - mechanical hard drive failure

  My satellite M30 604 is guaranteed (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hard drive crashed unexpectedly. The accident is probably mechanical, so I can't use data recovery software (makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD a specialist who will open in a 'white room' for something like 300-600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:

  -> Toshiba said that if I do that, the guarantee is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (100 euros)

  -> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba Gets the old drive and I lose my data forever!

  WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!

  (a) it's my data, my work and you CAN'T make me blackmailing you with such things 'warranty void. I want my old crushed drive back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10 hour work - someday is here!

  (b) Moreover even if the heads of the drive crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are always in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How toshiba (or any other company for that matter) asking me to give it to them?

  What should I do?
  What would you do?

  Hello
  I sympathize with your problem and can suggest only the following reflections:

  1. the recovery of your data seems the most important factor here. I suggest you to remove the HARD drive so that it can be sent to a specialist to retrieve data are possible.

  2. Since the removal of the disc HARD not not usually involves a broad dismantling of Notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HARD drive itself).

  3 replacement HARD drive can generally be obtained quite a beneficial one of internet sellers price (check using GOOGLE to a suitable replacement). You can then reinstall your OS recovery CD.

  4. I suggest investing in a bunch of backup software (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I had four replacement hard drives on my Satellite A30 in the past 12 months).

• No satellite M30 604 no display & beeps at startup

  When I turn on my Toshiba Satellite M30 604, there is no display and it is 1 long beep and 2 short beeps

  I know that is not the problem of memory, because I replace it.
  When I remove all memory other beeps can be heard.

  Anyone know what the beeps.

  What can I do?

  I think the beep code is a graphic chip problem. My other laptop (not a Toshiba) gave the same error beep, I had to replace the motherboard.

• Satellite M30-604 external usb hdd boot failure

  Hello world

  Hard drive problems seem never to end for me.

  I have a satellite M30-604. Recently my Hitachi HDD crashed. Now, I am trying to boot from an external hard drive via usb, but I can't.

  (a) I use a ViPower 3.5 "(model VP9258T) enclosure external usb 2.0"
  (b) with a Seagate 200 GB hard drive.
  (c) I used the recovery cd to install windows on the seagate
  (d) the bios (v1.4) seems to support the external device to start
  (e) the internal hdd crashed is deleted (it's internal hard drive space is empty)
  (f) the bios sees the drive and recognizes it as a USB

  I think it should work, but when I turn on the computer, after a while, he says: "0201: failure IDE #0"
  and gives me the options to run the program installation or start-up.
  When I choose boot it gives me the window with "boot in safe mode" screen, 'last known good configuration' etc, but nothing of the work options (it restarts and gives the same again).

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  My research on this subject has led me to believe that it is not possible to boot an operating system of attached USB HDD XP. I read several posts on various usenet groups on this issue, and the consensus of opinion is that it is simply not possible.

  Several suppliers of BIOS claim allow a USB HDD to be suitable for start-up purposes but I still have to attend such a machination succeed with XP.

• Satellite M30-604 does not start after upgrading RAM

  I have exactly the same problem with a Satellite M30 604! I have 2x1GB sticks and screen stays black. It works if I use one of the 1 GB sticks and one the old 256 KB stick but not the 2x1GB sticks as it should be (according to the specifications of my model manual).

  Boths glue work perfectly, I tried to the sepparately.

  In addition, computer does not work with the single 1x1Gb stick, mandatory I have to combine a new (1 GB) with an old (256Kb), or just stay on the two old sticks...

  What can I do? PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

  Hello

  Satellite M30 can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM, but you must use compatible RAM modules.
  As far as I know, you can use the modules of PC2700 and PC - 2100 DDR SODIMM 200 pin.

  I think that you problem is certainly linked to a not entirely compatible RAM modules

• Satellite M30-604: USB Port can not find the driver

  Hello

  I keep having the same problem on my Satellite M30 604 when connecting to a USB device.
  It does not really matter with this kind of device, the problem still.

  Whenever I have insert the USB plug into one of the slots, my home XP keeps popping up the wizzard software.
  Even with devices without drivers such as USB keys, it keeps bothering me and finally tells me that it cannot find the right driver.

  If I try to install a printer, it installs the software found, but finally stops the operation because it can't find the driver (?). I don't know in what direction I should look at to solve this.

  So if anyone can help me on this, I would be very grateful!
  Edwin

  Hello, Edwin

  It's very strange because it is not necessary to install a USB driver and standard Microsoft USB driver should work well. I put t know if this can help, but please check this page

  This fix is also part of the factory settings (recovery image on the delivered CD). By the way: your device is about three years old and it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem. Just for example: I have more Satellite 1900 with USB 1.0 and use USB keys and drive external HARD without any problem.

• Satellite M30-604: unable to connect to the WLan

  Hi all

  I have some problems with my toshiba SM30-604

  First of all, I find the product in the section support somehow, even I can't find it by giving the serial number! ???
  Even with the program auto-detection!

  The other big problem is with the wireless card.
  Since the first time I bought the laptop when I tried to connect with some internet wirless networks I had problems with certain types of escryption of these networks.

  If the network is an escryption
  WPA,
  WPA 2,.
  WPA - PSK
  WPA2-PSK
  I can not connect to this network and he brings a message, something like "the network may not be available at this time" Although it is.

  Even if has a WEP encryption and password isn't a 10-digit is brings a message like "the neck should be 40 bits or 104 bits and 5 or 13 ASCII characters and 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters.

  The last days I can not connect to any wireless network for the above reasons.
  I know that its an old pc, but it is very good even for today an I still use it even I have other laptops

  Please can someone help me?
  Will there be some updates for my card toshiba wireless?
  I downloaded the automatic detection tool, but it does not recognize my pc model

  Under my pc has this data:

  SM30-604

  > First of all, I find the product in the section support somehow, even I can't find it by giving the serial number! ???

  The portable M30-604 PSM30E-0SY2K-GK is an old classic. Right?
  Well, Toshiba driver European page you will find three categories: Archive, book and Options.
  If you don't find this portable model of laptop in the computer category then I would say that the next step should be archiving. Right? To me, it seems plausible to check the area archives due to the age of the laptop.

  In addition, the books are sorted by serial number; means that you won't find satellite M30 604 but Satellite M30 PSM30E.

  To my knowledge the Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 supports only 802.11 B Wlan standard and only the key WEP, WPA, encryption (AES +).
  FTP://download.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/SB/intelprowireless2100mpci_prodbrief.PDF

  This means that if the WiFi network is not set to 802.11 B and if the WiFi network has been set to WPA2 encryption, so you won't be able to connect to this network.

• How to burn CDs & DVDs on Satellite M60?

  Could someone advise me how to burn a CD or a DVD on my laptop Satellite M60-164. I can't find any software CD/DVD burning on my PC.
  Thank you

  Hello

  If you use an operating system preinstalled Toshiba then the Sonic Record Now! Basic application must be installed on the laptop.
  This software is capable of burning CDs and DVDS.

  But maybe you want to use another application of part 3? Been to Nero?
  This is a very nice program, and it allows you to burn different types of media.
  For example it allows you to burn and create video or audio CDs.

  It s my favorite.

• Satellite P20: How to burn a DVD?

  When I try to burn a DVD it tells me to insert a blank DVD. When I put a DVD - RW in it still dose not recognize. I can read the DVD burn cant just ok
  hope someone can help

  Hi Pete,.

  You don't say exactly what P20 model you have but I think that they were shipped with a DVD burner able to burn-r and RW discs. If you try to burn a RW - then he will have to get in shape first.

  I'm not sure what you use a burning software, but there should be an option to format a RW disc before using it.

  It is also interesting to note that some readers are very picky on the who do the blank media you are using you may need to experiment a bit to find a suitable brand to use. It is worth noting that some of the cheaper brands might be more effective than brands 'name '. Personally, I use "Datawrite" discs with no problems in a mat * player.

  Try to burn a - R and not a RW - as a first test to ensure that the optical drive is working properly.

  Kind regards

• Satellite C655 - easiest way to burn a DVD

  Hello
  I've never had a laptop before. Also new to windows 7. Try to find the easiest way to burn a DVD from another DVD on this new laptop computer. I know I put the info from the DVD on the laptop. And then burn it to a blank DVD. I can put the DVD in the drive. It's a great start! I'm looking for the easiest way to "rip" and burn. Even if you need to download burning software (I hope it's free).

  On my desktop CD burner, it was quite easy to burn to a CD to another CD. 2 trays and software to burn. I know that it is more complex. I'm a little computer in question, btw. Thanks :)

  Hi lili60,

  Most of the DVDs and CDs you can buy is copy protected so I doubt you will be able to copy them. Usually, you can copy only the records of friends private photos, music, etc. but regular discs are protected against copying.

  To burn discs, you can use the freeware CD Burner XP tool. This s really nice tool that provide all the functions necessary to burn discs. You can download the tool here:
  http://CDBurnerXP.se/

  On the same page you can also find assistance online, how the program works.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)
