  Hello

  How did you create the partition, and you have created the partition for the use of Linux?
  The fact is that you cannot use a similar kind of partition for the Windows operating system.

  PS: Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system and you will find all the drivers Toshiba for this OS.

• Re: Satellite M70-148 - new compatible DVD player

  I have a Satellite M70-148 and the DVD writer is dead some time ago, I'm looking to replace it now but I'm stuck. After looking a bit on Amazon, I found these:
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ44C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ2P8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2

  Is the 2 only I could find on Amazon, I asked the seller as well, but I prefer to know for sure, anyone know if either will fit in a M70 148? All this looks like but what about the connector etc...

  Thanks for any help!

  Hey,.

  What vendor you asked?
  If it were an authorized service provider, you can be sure that the readers, they mentioned will not work properly and I would like to buy only one disk recommended by a service provider authorized because different readers have different pinouts, etc. to 100%, so not all readers are compatible.

  I can t tell if Amazon readers are compatible or not, but if you ask an authorized service provider can give you an exact answer ;)

• Re: upgrade memory Satellite M70-159

  I have the Satellite m70-159 with 512 RAM and you want to upgrade memory.
  Is ddr2 sdram so-dimm PC5300, 667 Mhz kingston 1 G memory compatible with my laptop?
  I know that this memory will run as PC4200, but I don't know where to buy PC4200.
  Thank you.

  The Satellite M70 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

  The Kingston RAM must be compatible with your laptop because Kingston's high-quality RAM and many users here upgraded with modules from Kingston.
  And as you say that the RAM will work as long as PC4200, it is not a problem.

• What USB port output power offers Satellite M70-159

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite M70-159 and I am looking to buy a 2.5 external HARD drive ".
  I would like to know if the power supplied by the USB port of my laptop is 500mA or 1000mA because the disc external HARD I want to buy needs 1000mA to work.

  Eitherwise what I can do to provide external power to work HARD disk?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To my knowledge the notebooks USB ports provides the standard power of 500 my.
  Generally if an external USB HDD what needs more than 500mA so special, the power cable external power is supplied with version 2.5, HARD drive or HARD drive comes with a double USB cable.
  I hear double cable USB cable that supports 2 USB Sockets. In this case, you can connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.

  Hi, Christopher

• Satellite A105-S361 - update Bios do DVD cannot reboot

  Hi all.

  I have a Satellite A105 S361. I guess I got the BIOS 1.70 software.
  because there are two possible updates for her in the Toshiba download website.

  So, I've recently updated my BIOS v2.0. In fact, he warned that after the update
  It would be impossible to return to v1.70, but I never thought that it might cause some
  problems.

  After the update, now I am unable to boot from the DVD-ROM. I tried
  change the boot priority in the bios, by pressing 'C' (stands for CD)
  in the trunk to the top, also press F12 to bring the boot list. Also
  I tried with my recovery cd and about 5 linux CD bootable.
  None of this has been successful and if I remember the update of the BIOS
  and eliminate the possibilities, which can be the cause of the problem.

  Then I'd be extremely grateful some hep with this issue to make it possible
  to boot from the DVD ROM.

  Best regards.

  As far as I know, this series laptop designed for the American market and as a result, you must use the BIOS from the Toshiba page we.
  I hope you have done it and used the good BIOS. Bad or not compatible BIOS can do some problems!

  However, the fact is that it of not possible to reverse the BIOS to the primitive version on the simply average. In your case, that only a technician of the ASP was able to help you but I wonder how the BIOS update would affect booting from the CD/DVD drive. IF the CD/DVD drive has been recognized and then a boot from CD or DVD should be possible.

  You attempted to set the BISO default settings? Check it!
  BUR if it doesn t help has then contact ASP in your country!

• Satellite 2450-201: update driver DVD - IDE #1 error

  Hello

  I need help to upgrade the dvd for my laptop model Satellite 2450-201 with internal dvd writer.

  I have LG and I got this message at startup: error IDE #1. Any suspicion that I speak with Dep. error tech and he said that the problem of compatible driver. I think that good performance with the system.

  If I update the bios from 1.3 to 1.5 it will solve this problem?
  Or do I need another brand name model to replace the old DVD with DVD - RW?

  Hello

  As someone from the tech, adj. suggested that this error message appears because the car is not compatible.
  The disc has a bad master/slave setting and so the BIOS can not recognize the drive.
  To resolve this problem, you must upgrade the laptop with compatible player.

  I found a compatible Toshiba PA3255U-1DV1 DVD-RAM drive. But this isn't a burner.
  I suggest to contact Toshiba service partner in your country to control the compatible player and supported. So you can be sure that you will get a good player.

• Satellite A200 - 23P - mechanic of DVD - rom does not

  I'm sorry for my English in advance this topic! -Thank you

  I have a very big problem with my engraver of DVD (RM).
  I bought SAT A200 - 23P three weeks ago.
  The Win VISTA operating system has been installed. DVD - rom worked well.

  If I have installed Win XP to the second partition on my HARD drive (to install the disk with driver for sata drive in nlite) and installed all the drivers and utilities for Toshiba laptop, I found that my DVD-rom is not working while I press eject button.

  Mechanic of DVD is not responding to eject in XP and not even in the BIOS!
  It is interesting, mechanic DVD is the detection in BIOS, detects in XP, XP operating system votes - mechanic to the DVD works properly - its fable.

  However, if I have installed XP on the second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
  I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
  I now have XP only, even if Vista is on the first partition - I didn't delete it.

  Do you think that the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
  I think that, given that the DVD-rom does not in the BIOS - HW error.

  But is very strange, if I install XP from mechanic to the DVD and then close is, DVD - rom does not...:)

  If I manually open and insert the CD, the DVD does not (diode led no blink, just if I turn off the computer, led blinked once).

  PLS help me someone-

  Thank you!

  Hi Michal

  Your question is very strange, I mean the number of CD/DVD drive

  The fact is that the readers of CD/DVD eject function functions should any operating system has been installed on your laptop. It has nothing to do with your software on the HARD drive.

  So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not XP preinstalled OS?  :|

  My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a bad connection between the laptop and the drive. However the problem could be related to the hardware problem too

  As you see it s not easy to say what's wrong exactly, we can only speculate.

  Now some details about your installation of OS double.

  You cannot choose between Windows XP and Vista because Vista boot manager was obliterated during the installation of Win XP.
  This happened to me also. I installed Win XP on my Satellite and could not start Vista.

  The solution was simple; I used another original DVD of Vista (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. Vista has renewed the Boot Manager, and then I was able to boot Vista.

  Then I downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
  This tool can change the Vista Boot Manager settings. I've edited and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.

  That s it!

• CD-ROM/DVD-ROM missing from Device Manager, FRUSTRATED!

  I jumped on my computer today, to copy a disc in iTunes and found that Windows is for some reason, do not recognize my DVD/CD drive.  Now, the drive is very good; This works.  I put in a disc and it runs.  But that's all.  I go to Device Manager to see what is the problem and I find that the knot of READERS of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is missing altogether.  -What happened?  If anyone can help (not you, Rob;) I already tried everything in your list of suggestions), please.  I would appreciate.

  Hi Dtorres,

  • What exactly do you mean by it works when I insert the disk?

  If the device is missing in the Device Manager, it may be due to hardware failure or if the drive cables are not connected properly. This can also happen if there is a damage in the drive cable, windows will not be able to detect the drive.

  However, you can contact the computer manufacturer to verify if there is any firmware that you can install for the CD / DVD player and if you can run a diagnostic tool for the material.

  You can also start the BIOS of your laptop and check if the drive is detected in the BIOS and post back the result.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  Thank you and best regards,

• CD-ROM/DVD-Rom missing or disappeared

  Hello Microsoft community.

  I wanted to know if anyone has a solution to make my DVD/CD drive back drive work on my computer?

  I am running Windows Vista on a HP Pavillion laptop on a little more than a year)

  A couple of days, I noticed my CD-ROM/dvd-rom was missing from 'My Computer', which was listed as E drive and missing from my list of Device Manager.

  In my registry upper/lower filter is NOT listed

  However, DVD/CD Rom Drives IS listed as a default value in the registry TYPE: REG_SZ

  and CD ROM IS listed as (class) in my registy-TYPE: REG_SZ.

  -J' tried the restore and - last good known already

  but it did not help.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer to solve my problem

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  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
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM missing

  I came to visit my parents yesterday and I tried to use the CD-ROM on their Dell Dimension 8300 running Windows XP SP3.  The drive seemed to be working, but wouldn't read anything.  So I checked in Windows Explorer and the CD-ROM or the DVD + R/W discs were there.  I went to the Device Manager and received the following message:

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  The readers in question are the NEC IDE\CDROM_NEC_DVD + RW_ND-2100AD and IDE\CDROMHL-DT-ST_DVD-ROM_GDR8162B (Hitachi or LG, I think).

  So I tried to update the drivers, but Windows could not find a driver better than the current.  Figures.  I uninstalled the drives and tried to reinstall, but no luck.  I have good, well, I just downloaded a new form of drivers somewhere.  I went to Microsoft; no luck.  I went to Dell, where it says, "Dell makes drivers for its products on its Web site."  No, it isn't.  There was only the 22 drivers/firmware for DVD/CD devices; were not mine.  In fact, the only reference I could find any where on the Dell site for these discs were complaints in the forum there is no drivers! Never.  I went to NEC, Hitachi and LG.  All the zip.  Found dozens of web sites that will set everthing at a price of $29.95, but I really don't want to go that route unless I have to.

  I found a post on http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2008/06/30/mystery-of-the-disappearing-dvd-rom/ that looked exactly like the problem I have.  It was suggested to change the registry.  I can do this, but I don't want to make things worse.

• Satellite P20 S203: update BIOS after version 1.70

  Hello! I have a Satellite P20 - S203 BIOS is Ver1.70, published on 20/11/2003. I think there pretty outdated now, but there has been no new versions for years and I think that this great computer, despite the old, should be more supported. What I don't understand is why they made an exit for the PSP23E and not for the PSP20E, that make the differences that they should deserve to be updated bios different?

  Does anyone of you know about BIOS versions after 1.70 which allow the laptop to boot from SD cards or removable media? And that the problems of the management of multiple USB devices?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I use P20 over two years, without any update of the BIOS. If your device works well I recommend you to leave. Boot from the SD card is not possible and update the BIOS will not allow this.

  What problem do you have with the USB devices?
