Satellite M30X-129: recovery CD can be run from an external drive?

My wifi seems to have packed - recognizes nearby wireless networks but does not connect to them - so I will try to use the recovery disk product in the hope that it will bring back wifi.

However, the DVD Multi drive does not work - light flashes to indicate some sort of activity, but no drive appears in my computer. I think that if I buy the external drive, I can run the product recovery disc for this.
Is the drive Toshiba external DVD SuperMulti (PA3454U-1DV2) compatible with the Satellite M30X - 129 P - M 735? Product recovery can be run from an external drive (bootable?)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

According to this page of Toshiba, the drive is compatible with your device:
e http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search_by_model.jsp?servic = 1 = us & selSeries & selFamily = 2326 & SelCategorie = 2319 & family = 2326 & selP roduct = 98795

The fact is that only the boot device options available: USB-drive floppy/disk HARD/ODD/LAN
I know you can only boot from external CD/DVD drive if the device supports this option and the unit.
In my opinion be100% sure you should ask ASP for advice.

But know one other question: do you have you boot from the restore CD to recover the operating system?
If you want to recover the operating system, you have to start on this CD and do not run it under Windows. Check it out

    As far as I know there should be a CD that was shipped with this card.
    There you should find the drivers for this card. If the drivers on the CD don t work then try to update with the latest version.

  • Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

    Hello

    the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

    Thank you

    Luke

    Hello

    Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

    It s already installed when you plug it in.

    See you soon

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • My iMac can boot from an external drive?

    Hello

    I have an iMac 21.5 "Mid 2010 which starts to show its age with slowness. However, I plan to upgrade the Basic 4 GB of Ram either 8 GB or 16 GB of Ram, depending on price... and my main question.  I know that the Mac came initially with a 500 GB hard drive and I would also like to upgrade to an SSD because they make a world of difference from what I've heard, but I don't have the level of skill tech to do the steps together 20-30. I wonder, as I have a 1 TB USB SSD externally, if I could install a new version of Mac OS X on the SSD USB and then set it as my boot drive and just keep still plugged. Would this work or startup disk must be internal rather than external via USB?

    Your iMac can be set to boot from an external drive. Just install OS X on the SSD and SSD drive as your boot disk in System-> startup disk Preferences.

  • How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

  • Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

    Hi all

    How can I boot from an external USB drive?
    The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

    I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

    It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite M30X-129: CPU fan runs constantly after new XP Pro re - install

    I just installed a new Samsung 120 GB drive in my M30X-129, an upgrade of the 60 GB IBM drive with what it was originally provided.

    Tried ghost XP Home installation of the old drive to the new - but it didn't work for some reason, installation, attached to a page with the "Windows XP" logo on it...

    So, I installed XP Pro with SP2 from scratch on the new drive.

    After having done that, I then installed the Toshiba and utils drivers listed for your laptop:

    NES http://UK.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 555

    The problem I have is that the fan runs at full speed all the time - this isn't the case with the old installation of XP (was rare for it to come on at all when slowed down in the office - running full bore 100% of the time)

    Research by and try a few suggestions:

    -J' installed the common Utils from Toshiba
    -J' installed the Toshieba power management - and set the fan speed to ' Silent' has ', but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

    Any suggestions? for example. where I get the latest versions of the applications?

    The noise of the fan slowly leads me to the top of the wall...

    Ben.

    Hello Ben

    If you have installed your own OS and Toshiba designed drivers, tools and utilities, I assume that this problem cannot be software. I'm really not 100% sure why the fan always runs at full speed but Satellite M30X is around 2 years and I guess it's time to clean up. The second thing can be your new HARD drive.
    It is also possible that new HARD drive produce more heat and sensors to register it and don t stop the cooling fan.

    I recommend you to professionally cleaned the unit and remove any dust inside the unit. I'm pretty sure that cooling fan does not work at all times.

    Also try to put the laptop into a slightly higher position (if possible at the back) and on this brand more interspace between the bureau and the cooling grill fan in the lower corner of your laptop.

  • Satellite M70-360: CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll

    I accidently deleted the ekecioctl.dll and now whenever I start my laptop (Satellite M70-360) I get an error message saying that CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll. Anyone know where I can download the dll?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The CEekey.exe seems to be part of the Toshiba E - key utility.
    Therefore, you should try to reinstall this utility to obtain the keys working again.

    Another clue; have you tried to restore the operating system to the early time point?
    XP supports the System Restore tool. You can easily put the BONE at an early stage and the E key should work again I hope ;)

  • Satellite M30X-129 - no video on the second screen

    I have a M30X-129, which for the most part works fine. However, when I have a second monitor attached (for example, an overhead projector) everything is displayed outside a video/film clip, which appears black. This occurs if Windows Media Player or Realplayer is used. All other programs and images are visible on the external monitor or laptop screen.

    I installed Windows XP Pro on the orig XP Home version. All drivers were installed and updated as required. I thnk I have a Raedon graphics card.
    Any ideas on how to have movies/clips on the second screen?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Most Windows applications and video cards do not support playback of video files on the screens at the same time. You can try to disable the video signal going to the built in LCD screen and display only through the projector.
