• Satellite L305D-S593 - disk read error

  My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S593 suddenly stopped. At first I thought he had a little more heated or something, but when I tried to turn back on it gave me a message saying disk-read error press ctrl alt del to restart. I did several times in the same direction. While I tried to reinstall windows, I got lucky if she showed to the installation screen once it did, I followed the instructions for installation clean (I had to do it once before, but for different reasons).

  Once he brought me to the menu had to select a partition to install on I said to do it on the main HDD after some loading and that time, he said that it was impossible to complete the formatting required. So I Redid the process and I noticed the music said it had 288 GB of available memory, but before that, I had only about 40. To remedy this, I clicked on the format button and it says that it cannot complete the action because the disk is about to fail.

  PS My processor is 64-bit AMD Turion dual core mobile, with 4 GB of RAM

  Hey,.

  In my opinion, it has something to do with the HARD drive itself, I guess that it s a bad sector so Windows Setup can format t HARD drive properly. I mean before you tried to reinstall Windows, the system could not start due to a disc read error. This means that the files on the HARD disk are confused because of bad sectors

  You can install Windows Toshiba Recovery disk?

  If it doesn t work too, I'll try to replace the HARD drive. Usually, it is not complicated and can be done in 5 minutes.
  In addition, you can check the HARD disk for errors with diagnostic tools special as Drive Fitness Test. Google a bit for such tools, they are freeware, so it s no problem to find. ;)

• Satellite Pro 4600: disk-read error occurs - press Ctrl Alt Del to restart

  I have a Pro 4600 which displays the error message "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart "as soon as TOSHIBA logo goes.

  The laptop was given to me because the person who had tried to move to XP Pro and don't could not make it work, error with the CD Rom drive and she deleated the old OS (Win2000) off the coast.

  I took the hard drive and did a fresh install of XP by attaching the drive to another computer. The hard disk starts well on the other computer, but I get the error message on the Pro 4600.
  Any ideas. I know that I need to replace the CD Rom, but if I can't make it work, I don't want to drop money in it for a new CD Rom

  Thank you, Bob

  Hello

  Are you sure that the CD drive is dead?
  I have goggled a bit on the net and found some practical information that there may be some HDD malfunction.
  Some guys advised to use the command CHKDSK C: /R to solve this problem.

  But if it's a cd player error, it should be possible to disable the drive in Device Manager.

• 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

  I am sorry to say that it resembles a discarded HARD drive.

  You can boot from a floppy drive and see the HARD drive at all. If you can, then I suggest trying to format the drive in this way and then tries again.

  If this isn't the case, then you should get a new drive.

• Satellite P10-304-DVD-ROM/CD-RW questions!

  Hello world

  I own one of the original computers Satellite P10-304, which has a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive. For these last months, we have one or two problems with that. It was a little skittish in which CD it reads, but in the last days he almost completely stopped read correctly (audio/data) CD / DVDs. He doesn't seem to know they are there. However, the Player opens and runs well, as if it were playing the CD, but nothing happens on the PC.

  Curiously, I then looked on the list of the system, and the DVD-ROM/CD-RW driver had an excalamation mark. Even more curiously, the pilot was called TOSIICA! DWD something or other, when I'm sure it should have been DVD TOSHIBA etc.etc. Following the instructions, I uninstalled and then tried to reinstall, but it does not appear now when I try to add hardware.

  Confusing.

  I would be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions?

  See you soon,.

  Ian.

  Hello

  It looks like a car damage registry entry.
  But that is only my suggestion. The other possibility is broken (lens calibration problem) by car.
  You say that you have already removed the drive from the Device Manager, but the peut t OS recognizes the drive again. Well, in this case one of the possibilities is to use the System Restore tool or retrieve the device with the recovery CD.
  But if the drive is broken recovery procedure doesn t help. In this case, only the replacement of the drive can solve this problem.

• Satellite P10-304: the problem writing and erasing CD - RW discs

  Some need help pls. I own a Toshiba satellite P10-304 with a combo player SD-R2412 installed. When I try to burn a new CD - RW, it does ok, but wouldn't allow no other written on the same CD in another session. The written CD - RW is then recognized as a CD-ROM. In addition, it is not possible to erase the cd - rw usinig this player. When I take the cd written for my laptop office of deletion, as it's done with success and my toshiba can then burn again. Any ideas on what to do?

  Additional information: laptop computer came bundled with "drag n dro cd" but I had to install Roxio and even tried the cd writing software provided with windows XP are done everything to nothing. I checked the 'advanced system info-error log' and the report there is 'the device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block'; I don't know what that means.

  Cheers.

  Nthunderbolt

  Hello

  In my opinion, it's probably caused by software. In my opinion, you should remove all burning software and verify all burning functions with windows option. After deleting some software, it can happen that, in the registry editor it is a lot of waste that will not be removed completely.

  In any case, delete all the burning software, and you can also try to remove the device from Device Manager DVD. Restart the laptop and DVD should be detected and installed correctly. Try using the option of engraving of Windows and if there is still problem writing once again please.

• Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

  I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

  I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
  Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

  Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
  All this without success.

  My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

  Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

  Help is welcome.

  Peter

  I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

  From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
  For example this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

  Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
  Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.

• Want to upgrade RAM HDD & on Satellite P10 - 304

  Help, please

  I have a Satellite P10-304. There is only a tiny 256 RAM and 30 GB hard drive.
  Can I put both?

  I was looking to upgrade to 2 GB ram at least and 120 to 160 GB of hard drive.
  Looked at the pc world, I know not which is compatible with mine.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Of course you can upgrade this P10.

  The RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and you use PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

  I think that the laptop supports the HDD IDE ATA-5 and in my opinion, you would be able to update with 100 GB or 120 GB HDD

• Equium A200-1VO - "a disk read error has occurred."

  Hello

  I had my Equium A200-1VO since December 2007 and has never really had any problems with it atall.

  However, last night after a Windows Vista update and restart, my laptop won't start upward. I get a black screen announcing:

  "A disk read error has occurred.

  Please press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

  I've had no BSOD, and no other suggestion that something was wrong, everything worked perfectly. I checked the HARD drive to see if it had come off his link and reinserted it. But I get the same message.

  I am presented with the only possibility to use the recovery disk, but this means wiping everything out there and start again. I'd rather try to recover my documents before taking radical measures, if it is possible atall.

  If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciate.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  In my view, the error message says a lot: theoretically, your HARD drive may be defective and must be replaced but before that I would test using fitness to drive or another program. Just use Google to find such programs.

  Maybe something was tangled up in your Windows installation. About reinstalling Windows?

  You didn't back up your data to a second drive? I m wondering about this, because the backup should always be made.
  However, if you use an external HARD drive box you can save it on another computer.

  Good luck! :)

• What are the cards Wi - Fi are compatible with the Satellite P10-304?

  Hello

  Please can someone tell me what mini-pci Wifi cards are compatible with the laptop Satellite P10-304?

  I tried a broadcom 4318 with no look.
  It installs the material as seen in the Device Manager, but can not find all the networks (think there is a conflict with the motherboard)

  Tried an AW-GM100 Azure that has a conflict as soon as the computer message cell phone messages.

  As in advance

  Mark

  Hello!

  Theoretically, most of the WiFi cards should work, but the best way would be if you take a WiFi card that was delivered with a computer laptop Satellite P10.

  I put t know what cards shipped with this laptop, but I have a little search here in the forum and I have created a thread that might be interesting for you:
