• Update disk on Satellite M40-237

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40-237 with ata100 of Fujitsu 80 GB hard drive and Windows XP Home Edition. I would like to replace by WD3200BEVE. Allegedly, it is also 320 GB ata100 drive. Will it work? I see all 320 GB?

  Concerning
  Greg

  I don t think so. Yes SATA connector but not with ATA conector so best you can do is use new 120 GB HARD drive.

• Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

  * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

  I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

  -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
  -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
  -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

  What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

  I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

  Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
  (a) optical drive USB external
  (b) USB flash drive

  BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

  If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

  TNX

  First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

  With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
  Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
  This whole thing seems mysteriously
  There may be a firmware issue

  Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
  He went into the BIOS and set the BIOS default settings.
  This has contributed to

  This is a suggestion, but I'm really putting t know if it helps.

• How to install Vista on Satellite M40-237?

  Can help guide me how to install vista on satellite m40-237?
  It hangs at the starting phase.

  Vista compatibility tool has shown this compatible machine to install vista.

  Hello

  Satellite M40 is about two years old and this laptop is not taken in charge of Vista. I guess this hood must be new BIOS for Vista installation. Unfortunately will not create new Toshiba Vista supported BIOS and all drivers for this model of laptop. :(

  Computers laptops capable only Vista will be supported as far as I know.

• 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 M40-107: cannot re - install Powersaver - Code 0x7E

  Recently, I had to re - install Windows Xp on my Satellite M40-107 (PSM40E). Everything went well. Finally, I wanted to install the powersaver and I downloaded the latest version for my machine from the Toshiba web site. Installation fine until I press the complete installation (kerncentrale).

  A pop-up window appears with the message: fatal error, this programme will be completed. Code 0x7E.

  After restarting the same message appears until the powersaver is removed from the Board to run.

  Who can help?

  Hello

  It seems that there is no general solution for this problem.
  I found and read a few comments on the similar problem, and it seems that the Toshiba recovery CD installation will eliminate this error message popup.

• Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
  It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

  I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

  HEEELP!

  BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

  I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
  Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

  Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

  So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

  For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

  So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

  Good luck!

  Hi cba1,.

  This update is necessary, or you can ignore this message to update?

  Hi Faze0924,

  > I downloaded the driver
  Where did you download the drivers?
  Page ATI drivers directly will not work if you use the drivers provided on the official website of Toshiba.

  And in general why you do a update display driver? Is this necessary?
