• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

• Satellite P500-12F will not load the drivers of track pad!

  Hi, I just got a DVD driver for this lappy and is a self intall of all drivers that are missing or that need to update, when ran I was told of the Skate track had disappeared, and started to load, but it will not I tried a load of strength in vain Hat too, the track pad did not work since getting this second hand could the block be disconnected from the motherboard?
  This would make the driver not loading please?

  Any help would be really appreciated.
  Thank you, Wayne...

  Hello Wayne

  In front of me, I have Satellite P500 and I use it almost 10 months now without a single update. What I'm updating are important updates from Microsoft. More than that and so far I didn't notice a single hardware or software problem.
  After reading your ad m a little confused.

  As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any DVD for that laptop, not any kind of pilot DVD so please be so kind and tell me which DVD driver is and who has created and offered this DVD.

  original is Win7 64 bit OS (original image of recovery Toshiba) preinstalled on this P500?

• Satellite P10 804 will not accept the upgrade of RAM

  Apologies, this is it is a bit long and also if this question has been covered elsewhere here: I had a good nose autour and have not found something that seems to help.

  In any case, I had a Satellite P10 804 during these past years, I bought in the United Kingdom.

  Quite early in my time with this laptop, I upgraded the RAM. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when memory was not as cheap right now, so I bought just a single 1 GB module. P10-804 will take up to 2 GB of RAM.

  The P10 804 came with 512 GB as standard in two modules. My upgrade means I got 1.25 GB, which was in very good health. Everything was fine until the end of last year when the defective laptop; I followed the fault in module 1 GB of RAM. It was a bit awkward since I now live in New Zealand. However, the provider of the RAM was very professional, stood by their warranty, and we arranged a swap. RAM prices had fallen, so I bought another module of 1 GB at the same time upgrade the laptop completely.

  Now the problems really started. The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module. Start and run for five minutes before a freeze; white screen with fans roar; blue screen; frozen screen normal with strange objects; No start at all. everything.

  Everything that works now is my original 256 MB module (his partner disappeared). This leads me to assume that I don't have some sort of hardware failure?

  1 GB modules are DDR333 SODIMM, CL2.5. This laptop will also have the DDR266 modules, and it has been suggested to me, lower speed might work. I can try this option since the RAM prices are * really * low now, especially if I get confirmation of this as a valid strategy possible.

  The laptop BIOS is updated to v2.00 (maybe?), and I also upgraded the HDD to a 120 GB unit (this works very well and is partitioned for XP and Linux). And from time to time I empty the fan.

  Any advice welcome. Thanks for reading.

  > The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module.

  Reading your message, I came to the conclusion that this issue must be linked to the new RAM module and this module is malfunctioning or is not fully compatible with your laptop.

  The P10 can be upgraded to 2 GB, so you should be able to use two single RAM 1 GB modules

  So it must be a module problem

• Satellite Pro L10 will not start - the LED blinks

  I have a pro l10 phone which, after sutting down as battery not return to life. All I get is 8 flashes on battery led when the button is pressed. It's the same area only, battery only or both.

  It sounds bad
  Generally, the laptop LED flashes as there might be a hardware malfunction.
  The LED provide a microcode and the technician can read this code.
  A common user is not able to read. OK maybe you can read it, but you will not find any description about the meaning of the code.
  That is why it s a good idea to contact the technician in your country

  But as a first step, try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait 20 - 30 minutes and then plug in the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

• Satellite A300 Vista - will not start cd/DVD with backup

  Hello world

  I have a big problem with Toshiba a300. Windows Vista is not starts.

  Watch only the menu with 2 options: first "fix the system" - when I choose this option 10 seconds later I see messeage: click OK to turn off the computer.
  When I choose the second option in my laptop restart every time.

  I tried after turning on the computer, press F8, but all the option in this menu do NOT fix the problem.
  I have no CV/DVD to my computer.
  After the first time I don't burn DVD with backup.

  I have really now how can I install system with recovery patriction. What softwere I need and how do I do it?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  Sat A300 and other new models of laptops are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. This HARD drive recovery should allow you to recover the laptop without the use of all disks.
  In order to start the procedure for HARD drive recovery, you need to press F8. Then choose the first option called fix my computer. Then new window pops up and there you have to choose Toshiba HDD recovery. All that s.

  But if this procedure don't work (no matter why) then you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t create a floppy disk for recovery of a hand and the laptop will not start, then you will have to buy a drive for recovery of this page:

• 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

• Windows 8 will not mistake The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

  Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8, and although using it was confusing I got the hang of it. Today, I used the computer again and everything was fine but then I stopped him and a few hours later, when I turned it on a blue screen appeared and he says:

  Recovery
  Your PC needs to be repaired
  The Boot Configuration data file is missing some information required.
  Leader: \Boot\0xc000000d
  OT: After victory. Download 8 it won't launch
  I have no idea what is happening or how to fix it. Any help to help me understand and solve this problem would be appreciated.

  Met the same question from one day to the other - re install Win 8< week="" old="" decided="" to="" misbehave="" on="" a="" reboot.="" nothing="" untoward="">

  In any case discovered that the automatic startup repair is less useless for me. He could not fix anything whatsoever after the diagnosis and just gave up.

  However, resort to repair (start your windows installation CD) command line prompt, I managed to solve it with the command of the ffg on the command line.

  Bootrec /rebuildbcd

  More info about bootrec available using your favorite search engine.

  for example, this site was useful for me

  http://superuser.com/questions/451277/missing-boot-files-in-Windows-8

  For users in previous posts with problems and have only a version downloaded to Win 8 - well I'd say that you yourself create a DVD of the version uploaded to win 8 - the installation program ask you if you want to create media - that will create a 4.x GB. ISO file that you can burn to DVD. There is enough information on how to do this just search online.

  With regard to creating a way to initiate Win8 installer from USB Eh well I heard the ffg tool works with Win 8 too but cannot vouch for her since have never tried so its at your own risk.

• Satellite Pro L10 will not start the system

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, which won't work for some reason any.

  The last time that I used it, it worked perfectly fine, but now all I get is a black filtered message on "windows starts do not successfully»

  It indicates that the computer is not responding and asked me to choose one of the five options - safe mode, safe mode with network, security mode command, last known configuration, prompt or start windows normally.

  There is also a 30 second countdown if I do nothing the portable samekh automatically.
  It is, none of these things work.

  Everything that happens with any option is to a thought very much time on things, then it goes to a black screen with a time/processing bar downstairs, then when that ends it turns itself off, samekh, mw windows page shows (with f2 and f4/f10? options) and the process is repeated.

  He did about 50 times now and still nothing.
  I tried the command ctrl/alt/del, I tried to turn if off and try again, I even opened the f options but I don't know enough about computers to do more.

  Help, please!

  If possible I would like to get the computer on long enough to verify what documents I have on this subject before I can back up (if necessary) and restore it to the factory settings (as I predicted), or if this is not possible, I do not think that there is a lot to lose in this respect in any case, am prepared to take it all back to factory if necessary. I have all necessary installation CD and manuals to go with.

  hope this makes sense and I gave you all you need to know.

  Thanks, B

  It seems that the laptop is not able to boot the system, but I m not quite sure if it s because of the defective system or HARD drive corruption.
  If it s just a system problem, the installation of the new Windows operating system should help you to get it resolved.

  In case the HARD disk is defective, you need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system.

• Satellite A105-4114 will not recognize the connection to the local network

  Whenever I plug my cable ethernet to ethernet port on my laptop, the ethernet port does not recognize my cable, even if the lights are flashing. I updated my LAN driver a week ago, and it has not really helped. My internet service is provided by my apartment complex at the school, but I don't think it has anything to do with it, because I had this problem last year living in dorms and at home. I have to restart my computer everytime for my computer to recognize the connection to the local network. Can someone help me please?

  Driver: Intel (r) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection

  Wireless connection works fune.

  Hello

  First of all, you should check your LAN cable.
  Sometimes the laptop may not be correctly connected to the LAN as a result of a defective cable.
  In addition, you should check if the network card is properly recognized in Device Manager. He should t be a yellow exclamation!
  In addition, you must check the settings for the TCP/IP protocol in the LAN card properties.
  TCP/IP must be set to automatic. I assume that you are connected to a server and the server supports supported a range of IP addresses and assigns it automatically.

  Last but not least check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.

• Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

  I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  @Magnus:
  Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
  In addition, this burning program did you use?
  I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
  What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

  Hello

  It of weird, is your CD the other disc drive? Have you tried to read your cd of restoration with another computer? If the same error occurs on another computer system, then the cd is probably defective.

  Just a question: I guess you want to recover your machine, Don t you?

  See you soon
