Satellite M70-151 - not possible to install new HDD

Hello

I have a problem with my Satellite M70-151. bunch of old hard drive (100 GB Hitachi) reached the Windows XP screen then just ends with a blue screen a turn off laptop, immediately. I had to restore my data with an application file-rescue of another PC. It was not possible to start from old hard drive yet.

Then I bought a Western Digital SATA II 250 GB hard drive that put my Windows XP CD in DVD player installed and tried to start. The laptop turns off as soon as the laptop computer tried to access the HARD disk.
Thought, it was question of SATA II disk and tried a Samsung 160 GB Sata I - same result.

BIOS recognizes the correct drives.

If I try to boot from old hard drive, it shows the issue I mentioned first, but as before it reaches the Windows XP Boot screen before moving on to the blue screen before turning off the laptop. So start goes further than the boot with new hard drives

The Windows XP CD I used is not the restore CD that came with the laptop, but a normal license.

The heat is not a problem, I cleaned the CPU fan there is enough space to breathe the cold air mobile, the temperature is ok.

* My questions are: *.

Is there any special application running on laptops satellite, like special software of Toshiba, perhaps Backup, should I be aware of?
What I need to preformat the hard drive, Toshiba-Hardware will recognize the hard drive?

It would be great to get help on this issue, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Hello Andrew

This behavior is very strange. I have some old Satellite M70-159 with 100 GB HARD drive. I also tested how it will work with a 250 GB HARD drive and all is well.
On two drives, I have installed WXP using the Toshiba recovery image.

I answer your two questions No. to install Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop you don't need some special Toshiba application or a piece of software.
HDD should be recognized correctly by the BIOS and the Windows XP Home edition installation procedure should work well.
What you can try is to set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

The strange thing for me is that judgment. The blue screen tells me that there may be some serious hardware problem, the HARD drive controller might be. It's really not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem.

    First of all, we should start with basic information;
    The M70-151 Sat belongs to the series of PSM71E that's why you should choose this issue of the European driver Toshiba page if you want to download the correct drivers.

    _You will need these drivers: _

    Mass storage controller I think it is a cardbus driver
    Controller - s network a LAN or WLan card computing. First, check which driver is already installed

  • Satellite M70-151 - SDHC does not work

    Hello
    I have a problem with SDHC memory card. My Satellite M70 can not use this card. When I plug the card into the slot, that nothing is happening. It is the 8 GB card.

    Is there a driver to install because I found nothing?

    Hey,.

    Have you checked the user manual of your Satellite M70. If this isn't the case, please do it!

    The user manual contains a list of compatible flash cards and the point is that SDHC cards are not supported. You can only use SD cards up to 1 GB.

    If you want to use a 8 GB card, you must use an external card reader.

  • Satellite M70-151 - how to upgrade the display driver?

    Hello

    as the topic says I ran out of options to update my graphics card Radeon X 700 on my laptop...

    I tried to see here: http://de.nodevice.com/driver/Mobility_Radeon_X700/get44199.html
    After installation, I learned that he had to go on the manufacturer's site to get my drivers

    So I ended up here: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE
    Still no idea who was the Radeon X 700 driver, I tried every update... Most did not anyway, and when I check my graphics card driver put in says that my current driver was 5 years old.

    Taking advantage of the distraction of the online games I noticed that went it a few seconds sometimes. Most people recommend that you update all my drivers, but it seems more difficult than I imagined

    So please, help me find the right link to update my graphics card! To help speed things up a bit, I added my DxDiag report.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Sarahbella,

    You can download the driver on the Toshiba site. Therefore, check the link you suggested and look for your model of laptop. As far as I know Satellite M70 151 belongs to the series of PSM71E, to look for with these elements:

    Laptop > Satellite > Satellite M Series > Satellite M70 (PSM71)

    Download the driver and run the setup.exe file.

    Hello Jochen

    I don't have this camera, but I guess on this disk space HARD is placed and it's because of the HARD disk activity. It is true of my camera, but I can leave with her because I use my laptop with external TFT and external keyboard.

    Like I said this is probably because of the HARD disk activity and you can try to change the HARD drive power settings in the power management.

  • Multimedia keys not working not not on Satellite M70 151

    Hello

    I own an M70 151 for one year. And now my media keys (internet browser, player, play, stop, forward, rewards) are not working. And all of a sudden my wireless multimedia keyboard keys do not work, too. I reinstalled Toshiba controls, Toshiba driver controls more than 10 times without success.

    I searched for hours on Google but have not found anything. Even reinstalling the wireless keyboard has not helped. I also looked for hours on the Web from Toshiba page and forum, but found no useful things. Help, please.

    By the way: I can't reset my phone because I use it for work. I have to solve the problem without deleting any hard disk and I n have disk Toshiba-tools, it should be on the hard disk, but it is not.

    Hey dude

    What drivers for laptop you have chosen?
    The M70-151 is a series of PSM71E and therefore, you must reinstall the correct drivers.

    As you have already mentioned there are control utility and driver controls. The driver must be installed below the first.
    I think that you should remove the old utility and drivers and then after reboot new, fresh, you could start the new installation.

    Toshiba download page tools and drivers, that you can find on the Toshiba. But the options for creating Tools CD should be included in the assistance of Toshiba.
    The Toshiba Recovery CD should be supplied with the device you.

    However, I think that a lot of applications and software has been installed on your operating system and possibly a 3rd party application could has a bad influence on command buttons. Maybe the registry entries are corrupted.
    Reinstall the software and check again. In addition, you can check the option controls in the control panel.
    If this doesn't help not you must use the recovery :(CD

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
    Playback problems:
    I'm unable to read cd - r. It's really strange that a few days earlier these CD - R have been reading very well on my drive.
    and when I click on the cd drive in my computer, an error dialog box shows and says f: is not accessible, incorrect function. Here's a screenshot of the error... :

    And when I try to read my DVD-R, a few times they read very well but sometimes it does not read and the drive LED is lit when it does not read the dvd - r.
    When it reads the DVD-R, the following error message comes: screenshot here: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9674/2bc0.jpg

    After getting reading problems, I tried to test my drive writable.

    Although the same content when it is burned to cd - rw, it is a success.
    I am able to burn successfully on a support DVD + RW 4 x with data amounting to close to 4.34 GB for DVD5...
    When I insert a DVD - R Virgin car doesn t detects it as a blank media and the keps LED on lighting constantly and if nero State doesn't detect my DVD even! I'm not able to write on my DVD-R media...

    In short: write to RWs is possible for both cd - r and dvd + RW not possible of writing on CD - R and DVD-R.

    Please help me.
    It is only 7 months since I bought this laptop and believe that there may be no other person on this planet who looks after the training better than me!
    Really, I have not much used this drive and never scratched/gradient/local support, only the Supermedium media inserted.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, based on your description it sounds like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and, therefore, it of not possible to read or write to these media.
    Usual it of not possible to fix this and the replacement drive is necessary.

    You can also consult the user manual. You will find a list with all supported and compatible media.

  • Replacing battery Satellite M70 151

    Hello!

    I have a laptop M70-155 and his well - worn battery controller is dead.

    My country is quite specific about the Nice shops, so only possibility for me to get a new battery is to buy it in a line store, newegg.com in particular.

    Currently I have a PA3465U-1BRS, 4000mah.
    And newegg doesn't offer not any which directly compatible with M70 battery. It does not really suspect that the m70 exists - it was sold in European Union only.
    But there PA3465U-1BRS and it is compatible with e.g. M55-S141.
    Also he extended capacity PA3478U-1BRS, which is also compatible with M55-S141.

    If these batteries two enters portable similar I think they too are compatible with my machine, and I can get more. Am I wrong?

    Hello

    Generally, Satellite M50 and M55 are the same models and batteries are the same for the two workbooks use the same models of battery.

    Before you order anything here the list of all compatible batteries for your Satellite M70:

    PA3465U-1BAS (6 cells).
    PA3465U-1BRS (6 cells).
    PA3457U-1BAS (8cell),
    PA3457U-1BRS (8cell).

    So, if you want to have the battery with high capacity order the last of them.

    Hello

    I think that it of normally that is up to now no drivers for Windows 7 available. What do you think?

    I mean Windows 7 is not yet on the market, and it comes out in October. If Windows 7 is out, I think that the support of the pilot will also begin. On Vista and XP was the same thing, until the version of the OS a few days and weeks later new drivers was released.

    I hope for you that Satellite M70 will build for Windows 7, but I put t know. I think we will have to wait a few more weeks until Toshiba will begin support of Windows 7.

    Moreover, on the Toshiba page we you can find some beta drivers for Windows 7. It is perhaps useful to you.

    Hello Dieter

    Have you updated something on this unit (e.g. RAM)? Try removing the battery and start unit with AC adapter only. If nothing works I recommend you contact the service partner in your country as soon as possible.

    I'm not an expert, but it cannot be anything like hardware related issue and must be verified by the service. Perhaps that the CPU is not cooled properly and the temperature is too high within 3 seconds and unit just turns off.

    I guess you are from the Germany, and you can contact a service partner it. Addresses you will find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true
