• Satellite M40-145: CD/DVD player will not play some DVD

  Hello!

  I am the owner of a Satellite M40-145 bought a little over a year; DVD driver worked perfectly until three days ago, but today I discovered something... strange. Still, it reads the DVD business and burned the DVD + r, but apparently it does not read the DVD - r serious more. I tried with different DVD - Rs, I burned the same DVD player, without success; trying to access the DVD gives a message "insert the disk in drive D:".

  In this case, I'm talking about movies on DVD. Please tell me there is a way to fix this without sending the computer to the customer service...
  I wouldn't think he fell down a few days after the expiry date of the guarantee.

  Hello

  Well, you can try to remove the Device Manager order form.
  After restarting again the reader should be recognized again. Then, check if it is possible to read the DVD - R, CD.

  But the question sounds like a lens calibration error. If you use different media, the lens must be calibrated again. But if this procedure fails, the drive is not able to read or write the DVD for example.
  Unfortunately, in this case only the replacement of the drive will resolve this problem.

• Satellite Pro L10 - how to use product recovery?

  I've had this laptop for a while, it was done incrementally over the years and now seems to have abandoned completely.

  I can barely open anything without being invited to what program I want to open it with, and web browsing becomes almost impossible.

  I have all the product recovery discs but when I try to use following the instructions 'Insert disc in drive, turn on your PC while keeping the key C' nothing happens, after all a bunch of Eman windows continues to load.

  I'm close to throw this thing out the window (I live in a 3rd floor apartment) but cannont afford a replacement. If anyone can offer me some advice much whatever it is I would be very happy.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  If I understand you just want to reinstall Windows. Is this good?

  Therefore, you must use the Toshiba recovery disc. As far as I know the old Satellite L10 there is no option of HARD drive recovery, by pressing the C key will not help you.

  So, put the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot up your laptop. Then, go into the BIOS or BIOS boot menu and choose Start from the CD/DVD drive.
  The CD starts and you can reinstall Windows :)

• Satellite P300 150 - need of the product recovery disc

  My Toshiba P300 150 was delivered today and I mess things up. I got a Toshiba P200 product recovery in the P300. I am not able to get on the desktop, because everything was erased when I put the P200 product recovery disc in the new laptop.

  I'm not able to get the recovery of Toshiba products until January 7, because the site is down.

  I'm so desperate, so if anyone has the same laptop, I would be very grateful if you would be able to make a copy of the recovery of product, just send me an email if you are able to help.

  Hello!

  Why you insert the recovery since a P200 laptop disk? When you get a Toshiba laptop it s all preinstalled Windows, drivers and tools.

  It s a user to user forum and I think that it s not allowed to copy these disks. ;)

  But you can also get a new drive to an ASP (authorized service provider). Here you can find one:

• 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

  Hello

  _How to use the recovery disk? _
  That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
  In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

  _How to save files? _
  First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

  In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

  You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

  You can not download the recovery DVDs. But you could ask local ASP or order directly from this place:

• Satellite L20-217: product Recovery CD/DVD (reinstall Windows XP)

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite L20-217 (aka PSL2XE) who is now more than three years. It's been a good camera but needs a clean reinstall of Windows XP to improve performance and stability, or possibly install a new larger hard drive. My problem is that I don't have a product recovery CD or DVD - it is be lost or has not submitted by the dealer who has also installed additional software purchase.

  Plan A: I checked the backup disk Toshiba Europe site command to such https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/serial.aspx as suggested by other people in this forum online. Unfortunately my model (or particular unit) is not supported. When I enter my serial number, it gives me the message "device no way recovery can be ordered, because it's not about Toshiba Europe region, or it is too old for this service."

  Plan b: I could use a different Windows XP CD to install the base operating system and to cope with the necessary drivers. I created a backup of the drivers and utilities of L20 CD, but do not have access to a vanilla Windows XP Edition family installation disc. (I tried the recovery CD for my Satellite A70 which is not recognized by the L20 at all and an XP Pro the installation CD for my other machines, but of course, the license key is not fair - the L70 is license for XP Home no Pro.)

  Plan C: the L20 is still operational. Is it somehow possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself? I couldn't find a utility to do it on the hard drive. Some Toshiba machines are supposed to support a recovery, insider mode by holding down the button "0" when the power, but not this unit.

  The questions are:
  (1) is it possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself somehow?
  (2) is there another way to contact Toshiba Europe to order a CD or a DVD? (As I live in the Canada after buying L20 in Gibraltar while she lived in Europe, the cost + shipping is likely to be more that the computer is worth worth)
  (3) as a last resort, that I must try to find a bootleg XP Media CD somewhere?
  (4) other solutions?

  Thanks in advance!

  >) it is possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself somehow?
  No! You cannot create own recovery on this laptop drive because this option was not mentioned on this model. New laptop models which are not delivered with the recovery only supports disk a possibility to create a recovery disk.

  (> 2) y at - it another way to contact Toshiba Europe to order a CD or a DVD? (As I live in the Canada after buying L20 in Gibraltar while she lived in Europe, the cost + shipping is likely to be more that the computer is worth worth)
  Usually, you can order the CD from recovery of the ASP from Toshiba, but I'm not sure if the European ASP will send to the Canada. In addition, it would be possible that the recovery for this laptop disk is no longer available.
  However, maybe you should contact the ASP (using European countries) in order to get more details.

  (> 3) as a last resort, that I must try to find a bootleg XP Media CD somewhere?
  Well, the last option would be an original Win XP disc with the right key of BONE.
  After Installing Win XP boot, you can download the Win XP drivers from the Toshiba page.

  (> 4) alternatives?
  I doubt, there are other solutions, either you will install the operating system using the disk Toshiba or Microsoft

• Satellite 2410-303 will not read the product recovery CD

  My satellite 2410-303 will not read my product recovery CD.
  When I turned off my pc with the drive in, I get messages saying that the disk is not formatted correctly.

  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?

  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:

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:

• Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

  "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

  I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

  Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
  Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

  I'm stuck please help!

  Hello!

  If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

  I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

  Good bye

• Satellite M40: message: can not play because the DVD decoder is not installed

  not serious... I am back... I did a little reading and tried to read another cd in the drive and the message came to say "can't play because the dvd decoder is not installed, so I guess that's the problem because I have a recovery * DVD *.» Anyone know where I can find a dvd for a Satellite M40 decoder?

  > can't play because the dvd decoder is not installed
  This message appears if you want to play DVD movies with an application like Windows Media Player that has no (plug-in) installed DVD decoder.
  Usually the DVD can be played with special programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD for example!

  But this DVD decoder has nothing to do with the Toshiba Recovery DVD and the fact your new DVD Player cannot read the recovery DVDs.

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

• Satellite A30 product recovery CD

  I need to restore the HD of Satellite A30 of my boy.
  He gave me that one DVD 'product Recovery DVD-ROM'
  He is also says "2/2", which I suppose that it is disk 2 of 2.

  This DVD is not bootable. so I guess there could be a disk of 1/2 which is bootable and contains the basic recovery program.

  My question: am reason above supported and if yes, where can we get the first DVD, since my boy seems to have lost it.

  Thanks for any help.

  Peter

  Hello

  You are right! There must be a n ° 1/2 recovery DVDs!

  If you (or your son) have lost it, you can order a new one for every Service Toshiba partner. You only have to sign a solemn declaration for MS that you have lost the CD!

  To http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the support & downloads you will find a list of partners of Service Toshiba!

• Questions about the product recovery DVD?

  Hello

  After a boot failure sunk with Windows XP Home Edition on my Equium A60-181, I had no choice but to use the product recovery DVD. I noticed there is something called expert mode, I suppose that allows you to create a custom default value of the factory Setup. So I was wondering, is it possible to format the hard drive in FAT32 instead of NTFS, create a partition for Linux and continue to use the product recovery DVD? In case you are wondering I want FAT32, so I can safely read and write my XP with Linux partition as NTFS writing is still experimental at the moment.

  See you soon,.

  Richard S.

  Hello

  Check out this link. You will find an info exactly how to recover with the Expert mode.

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&TSTART=15

  However, if you want to create a new FAT32 partition or another standard (Linux), I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This is a very nice program and you have a lot of options (change the size of the partitions, etc.)

  Good bye
