  How to boot from usb?

  Hi esc.

  I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.

  All you can do is to install the latest BIOS, but as far as I know Satellite M40 can t boot from USB!

• Black screen on Satellite M40-185

  After that a few months of problems with switch-offs sudden finally my Toshiba Satellite M40 - 185 is a black screen and it cannot do more. I have an external monitor, but it is also black.
  Should I try to get a new LCD inverter or leave the Toshiba service get it and look at the motherboard?
  Maybe its completely dead?

  Any help and suggestions welcome!

  Hi Dimitris

  If the result is the same laptop computer s screen and external monitor it's probably serious hardware problem and fair service can help. I guess that the graphics card is the troublemaker and I fear that the motherboard must be exchanged.

  Of course, I can't say that for sure. Because of this that the technicians run diagnostic programs to see what is the problem with your laptop.

• Satellite M40-185: DVD super multi drive does not read the CD

  I own a Toshiba Satellite M40-185. It is mounted with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S.
  When I put the CD - R, which are supposed to work on this drive however it read as a CD - R [i.e. the icon changes from DVD - RAM drive in my computer to a CD - R]

  However, when you double-click the drive it says D:\ accicble not. But it works fine with DVD.
  Recently, I found that it stops between buring DVD as well. I got the replaced disk from Toshiba, but it was not to last long either.
  I wonder if his software level problem.

  I tried to update the firmware but it does not work because it's another drive for this what is mentioned on the website for drivers...

  Maybe it s only a registry error?
  I read different statements here in the forum and especially the deletion of in the upper and lower registry filters helps to address these issues.

  For more information, see this page of Microsoft Knowledge:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  and then restart the laptop

• Satellite M40-185: recovery CD works, now have serious problems

  The problems started like this: once I sent the computer to sleep mode, and when I tried to reboot, the OS has not loaded (black screen just after the BIOS welcome screen). Safe mode etc. did not work as well.

  I ran PartitionMagic 8 of bootable CD, and he pointed out an error on the Disk - Partition disassembled or smth like that.

  PartitionMagic could not format my HARD drive (error reported during progression), so I decided to use the recovery CD. He could not recover the HDD-reported "unable to load FILE_BITMAP MFT" during the first minute of the recovery process. I tried all modes of recovery - nothing has worked.

  Then I did a weird thing - I used an other M40 recovery CD, with 60 GB HARD drive (mine is 80 GB). Surprisingly, M40 another recovery CD could format and recover the system! Then I applied my recovery CD and it worked and system has been installed and working now.

  But the problem is that now my os partition 60 GB. Really, what scares me, is that I can't use PartitionMagic now! During loading, he pointed out: the drive letter of the Partition cannot be identified. and write-offs of loading.

  What is more, the system is now very unstable: i.e. the sleeping mode sometimes hangs system, Office 2003 is to report errors and does not (this copy worked fine before formatting).

  Could you advice me what software to use to solve the problems of partition?

  I can't go to Toshiba service as I am not in the country where I bought the PC, and there are some problems with the service where I am now.

  Hello

  Have you tried to use the "sleep" after the recovery procedure before installing other applications?

  As far as I know there may be a problem if a employee of application or active processes don t support hibernation and don t want to get arrested. Please don t worry about 20 GB of free space on your HARD drive. You can turn on is that the second partition as logical drive.

  S ' please go on my computer on the desktop
  -Click with the right button of the mouse and choose the option Manage
  -Under storage select disk management
  -L' free space should appear, click with the right mouse and option to create the logical drive.

  Please try to do it. If you have no success please write again.

• Satellite M40 - how to restore the factory without ODD settings?

  Hello

  My HARD drive crashed a few days ago on my Toshiba Satellite M40.
  So I bought a new HDD IDE to use my Toshiba WinXP recovery DVDs. But my internal optical drive does not work.
  My BIOS does not let me start on an external optical drive...
  I tried to use another laptop recovery DVD but it says 'this recovery DVD is only for Toshiba laptops.

  All I want is to try to find a way to use my restore DVD...
  Can someone help me? or ideas?

  Concerning

  Hello!

  I think that every resident has reason. You can restore t to factory settings on the recovery disk Toshiba no CD/DVD drive work.
  If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, you need to replace the CD/DVD drive!

  But as resident suggested, you can install Windows XP with a disc of Microsoft. Therefore, you don't need a CD/DVD drive work.

  It of your choice what you do! Either you replace the CD/DVD drive, or you use a disk of Microsoft.

• Satellite M40: Touchpad not working not properly

  I just had a problem where my dog jumped on my knee and operated something on the keyboard of my satellite M40.

  Now, whenever I try to press the button two times, I get the properties of the icon I'm hovering above. When I try to use the keyboard in Word, I get the menus to open instead of type appearing in the document.

  I can erase it with a restart, but I would like to know what happened.

  Fiona

  Hello

  It seems that the dog has changed the touchpad options ;)
  You should check the device touchpad settings in the mouse properties.
  What you can find in the control panel.
  Select the mouse and then go to the device settings tab. Then go to the synaptics touchpad settings.
  There you should find a few options you should check.

• Satellite M40X 185 linux live cd, noise and temperature

  Hello

  I just bought a satellite M40X-185. I flashed the bios with success of 1.30 to 1.60. Windows XP home (preinstalled) works perfectly. I found three questions:
  1. when I try to boot from a cd live linux (suse 9.3 dvd, knoppix 3.9 or mandrake move) the system hangs. Any idea of this behavior? With knoppix, it seems to hang while loading driver cardmgr. So I thought it was a problem with the linux cardbus but ultimately suse live driver dvd 9.3 has succedded in load correctly if I disable acpi (command-line ACPI = off). TR is the problem related to M40X material and/or bios version or is it related to linux (the kernel version maybe?). Thank you

  2. it seems to me that coolig system is much more noisy when I use the toshiba power management. If I use win XP default portable power management mode, the computer is much quieter!

  3. is there a way to measure temperatures of system (CPU, MB, GPU, etc...). Previously I have hade a satellite A50 and speedfan (www.almico.com) was able to measure all these parameters.

  Thank you

  Hi Sid

  I'll try to answer best I can.

  (1) maybe the system BIOS is not really what the Linux kernel expects and so stops. Please see the Linux very good page of Toshiba:
  http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de
  Maybe you will find some tips on Highway M40 Linux ACPI.

  (2) time MS Toshiba power management and power management is supported by the profiles of school boards. Means that you can set according to your need, how the machine should act. In the Toshiba power management, you have many more opportunities than in the version of Ms. In the Toshiba module, you can choose to have machines operating in performance mode which means that it will give priority to the performance (which normally means of cooling by fan) instead of throttling of the CPU in order to limit heat production.
  You can also do the opposite - give priority to silence (fan less and less speed) for the performance.
  Of course there are some other settings as well (screen, disk HARD times sleep and so on).
  I mean, is that the module from Toshiba is probably set up for performance, which means that you get the fan noise. If you like you can set minimum performance and so less noise. It has its advantage the Toshiba module - it is far better to control of the small parameters and levels of breakdown and time. So, you are in more control of your system.
  Sorry for the long lesson - I'm the same at home and he is not popular :)

  (3) sorry - no answer here except that I don't know why anyone would want this. That's enough for me to know that the system controls all of these things by himself and goes off in case of overheating.

• Satellite M40-295: I can change the position of the AltGr key?

  Hello.
  Curent key ALT - GR (right) is very uncomfortable - I want to "move" (it means Exchange with another key) it closer to "space", but I don't know how.

  Have a satellite M40 - 295 XP Home (Polish)

  Please, help me. :)
  Concerning

  Hello

  Sorry, but in my opinion there nothing to do.
  You cannot move all the keys on the keyboard.
  It s is not possible.

  What you can do is to change the keyboard language in the settings of the OS, but I t I think the function of the ALT GR key will change.
  Another possibility is to change the keyboard to another provision, but these make no sense because you will not be able to use the special Polish panels.

• Satellite M40-244 - cannot start from CD after driver change

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M40-244 and the original DVD drive is faulty. So I changed the drive with one that is exactly the same (same brand, same date of manufacture).

  Under Windows, the new disk is recognized and works perfectly. However, when I try to boot from the CD, I am not able to do. I successfully changed the boot sequence in the bios, I tried all possible combinations without success.

  One thing I remember is that when I tried to boot from the faulty driver, I got the message 'Not bootable CD' (the tested CD is bootable and tested on other computers)

  Any idea anyone, I desperately need to install a new OS. :-(

  Hello

  I doubt that you can boot from CD t if your drive works properly in Windows...
  You can try another disc of starting, for example the Toshiba recovery disc or the disc from Microsoft, please?

  Alternative try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite M40-265 LCD displays the image complete but crushed

  Satellite M40-265 LCD displays the image complete but crushed on two-thirds of the screen

  When my Satellite M40 - 265 ATIMobility Radeon X 700 and omega 3.8442, Windows Xp drivers, Sp3 boots by setting the LCD + analog RGB, initially only displays on the external screen after startup can be switched with Fn + F5 on LCD. Then appears on the LCD, the complete picture but only two thirds of the screen, third, the right is black. It works so well when the external monitor is not connected during the boot.

  When defini set to auto, select the display to the computer starts only when an external monitor is connected, then after that, I spent in the LCD screen.
  Damage to the inverter is excluded as already checked. Inspect visually the cable of the LCD displays nothing. Beside the left speaker, a ground wire (black) to screwed, but it is s t connected anywhere.

  Starting in safe mode is possible to use a display fullscreen on external

  Hello

  The M40 is a not sure oldie about the available settings in the BIOS and in the graphics options, but I think you should check the settings of the graphics card ATI Catalyst.
  I remember that ATI catalyst supports certain options such as resizing the Image. Here you can select the image scale Panel option full size
  In addition, you must set the resolution on the internal screen at native resolution of 1280 x 800
  I think that the external monitor supports the resolution, which is not the same thing as the screen internal.

• On Satellite Pro L870-173 keyboard problem

  Hi, I am the owner of a laptop from the Satellite Pro L870-173.
  By writing an e-mail the keyboard functions has changed.
  Some keys have a different meaning, examples

  Space lab = o
  4 = o v4v4
  c = the optioo for a secodon display

  What can I do?
  Is originally a default keyboard?
  Do anyone have an idea?

  The system is a 6v4 - bit win8o
  The keyboard settings is always the same: German language

  Thank you very much!

  > Do someone has an idea?
  Yes, I have an idea.

  > Is originally a default keyboard?
  I m afraid, Yes.

  You can confirm my idea connection external USB keyboard to the laptop.
  In case your external keyboard would work correctly, the problem is definitely related to the internal keyboard.

• Satellite M40 - 136 product dvd recovery

  Hello

  I have problems with my laptop Satellite M40 136 I bought a year ago. If I close down the machine when I then turned it on it would give me a screen saying there is a problem in Windows and gave me the option 'Start windows normally', 'start with the last successful settings', 'start in safe mode', 'start in safe mode with networking' or 'start in safe mode with command prompt '. It would usually take several attempts before that Windows would fire up ok, any option to choose. However yesterday any have repeatedly tried it would not be in windows.

  I decided that I need to use the dvd - rom product recovery is a relocation complete (fortunately I had saved my personal files). I did it, but at the end when he says 'ctrl-alt-del"to restart, reboot I got the same message"problem going into windows"with the same options. I repeated the recovery process 2 more times with no luck.

  This morning, he did go further and asked me to go through the installation process of Windows (i.e. giving the phone a name, asking if I wanted to save the machine with toshiba/microsoft etc.) However he then pop up with the message "problem going into windows" with the options that I mentioned earlier. I choose any option that he ends up back on the same screen.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  HI Nicky,

  It is possible that you have a problem with your hard drive. The operating system will always be usually resident in the same sectors of the hard drive even after a re-installation using your recovery CD, the same sectors of the hard drive will be used to store the files of the OS.

  I suggest that you try to run a CHKDSK/F on your hard drive to see what it brings. Of course id there are lots of bad sectors then will consider you replacing the hard drive.

  Kind regards
