• Satellite Pro 4360 Ram upgrades

  Hello, this is my first post

  I have a satellite pro 4360 with 256 meg of ram can be updated at least 512 I have 1 spare ram slot if so, what is the ram details I need IE 144 pins etc.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The 4360 Pro Satellite came with 64 MB internal memory and this memory in not removable.
  As you have already said, there is only a slot that is expandable.

  In any case... it seems that it of not possible to upgrade memory up to 512 MB.
  You can upgrade the memory to 320 MB (64 MB internal memory + 256 MB external memory). There is a limit.

  I found a very useful page that confirms this info:

  PS: I forgot to say that the laptop supports the SODIMM 144 pin PC100

  Hello.

  XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

  To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

  Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
  Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

  Thank you in advance.

  Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
  Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

  Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

• Satellite Pro P100 - cannot boot from external USB DVD

  My internal DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 failed, and my windows is broken.
  So I bought an external DVD drive to boot from, so I can recover the system using the product recovery DVD.

  Now, he actually goes ahead and starts from the DVD. But once in the setup it gives me the message: "ERROR: file Setenv.ini D:\Setenv.ini or X:\Tools\Setenv.ini not found!

  So I went ahead and checked if the file was... it was... but it is on Drive E:\ (probably because it's a USB device I'm starting from)

  -J' did some research and found that I needed to run the command: X:\tools\recogui /FE: say the recovery my files were actually on drive E:-which has helped a little... until I got a new error where it was always looking for the *. TPA file on drive D: eventhough I have via recogui had specified otherwise.

  Now what do I do to understand everything is to the recoveryprocedure on drive E: and not D:, as he seems to think?

  As I am in the middle of a period of review, quick response would be GREATLY appreciated :)

  Bad new boyfriend!
  Boot from external DVD USB drive is NOT possible!

  You can start only from the inside, ODD, HARD, LAN disk and external USB FDD (floppy)

• Satellite Pro L10 - Unmountable Boot Volume

  My Satellite Pro L10 loops in the boot process. After the Windows XP splash screen, the following error messages appears:... Unmountable boot volume... Technical information: Stop: 0x000000ED...

  I know that is nothing exceptional and do a full restore would solve the problem. But I don't want to lose the data (which are of course not saved). I tried a Windows XP disk, but it does not start from the cd/dvd drive by pressing F12 or <0>and change the boot order...

  Can anyone help please?

  Hello

  Hmm, the volume not mountable startup error message appears especially if the HARD drive may not be recognized during initialization. Why? Well, maybe the HARD drive failures or the master boot record is defective!

  If you don t want to recover the laptop, you can try to boot from the XP CD (C press immediately after switching on the laptop) and to start the repair console.

  In the repair console, you can use the command chkdsk/p and after that, you could fix the disk main boot using the fixboot command or / and fixmbr.

  If this does not help, the new installation of the OS is that you as a last resort.

  PS: If you want to save the data you can try to remove the HARD drive and try to connect it via external USB HDD controller to another computer.

• Satellite Pro A120 - impossible to get a PCMCIA card work

  OK, I have a problem with cardbus (xp SP2) of my Satellite Pro A120.

  I use the cardbus slot to add conections firewire via an IEEE 1394 cardbus card and have been doing this for a long time. The other night, my computer came into hibernation with the card still in the slot and still in use, and when I tried to use it the next day, the card wasn't working at all.
  So I thought that had died on me and has brought another, this one to be exact [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839314003].

  When I plug the new card into the slot, windows starts the installation add something new but can't find the driver, nothing on the CD provided, and it does not conect to windows update to find an ethier. Thus, the new card does not work and do not settle, it appears just with! next to pci device.

  I have searched all over the internet to find the driver, read the manual etc. I even did a fresh install of windows so that he could find the drivers but nope.
  The only thing I can think is the slot does not except 32-bit cardbus, but in my manual it says this:

  «The computer is equipted with a pc card slot which can accomedate type II card.» Any pc card that meets the standards of the industry can be installed. Housing supports 16-bit pc cards, including pc cards 16 multifunction card and cardbus pc cards. CardBus supports a new standard for 32-bit pc cards".

  Any help please

  Thank you

  > I can't find drivers anywhere!
  Usually, it takes the CD with drivers with the product. So if you don't have it try to find the driver on the manufacturers support page.
  Try with this one http://www.belkin.com/support/product/?lid=en&pid=F5U222

• Satellite Pro U500 - multi-boot with Win 7 and Win XP

  Good gentlemen,

  Please help me with this query I have.

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U500 with Windows 7 installed. I also have a TOSHIBA Windows XP product supplied with the laptop recovery DVDs. Was told I could downgrade to XP with the DVD.

  I want to install Win XP in addition to the existing installation of Windows 7 on a different partition, I intend to create.
  Can I create a create a separate partition and then use the recovery TOSHIBA Windows XP product DVD to install Win XP on it?

  Am just worried I might spoil the on the laptop's recovery partition?

  Basically, I want to be able to run the current Windows 7 and Win XP on my machine and want to know the best way to do it without damaging the existing TOSHIBA recovery partitions.

  I want to use the recovery DVDs TOSHIBA Windows XP product to install XP on a new partition with windows 7 OS.

  Thank you

  STRAPPING

  Hi-band,
  + downgrade to xp + means that you are not allowed to use your win7 installation any longer...

  ask problem "dual-boot":
  burn a DVD restore *, choose from the start menu

  After that, you can choose partition wich you like "sacrifice" for xp and install it...
  XP can't 'see' the install of win7, but you need a Boot Manager to boot both systems (xp is crushing the win7 boot code)

  or you go the other way:
  installation of xp and then install win7
  This has the advantage that win7 offers you the ability to boot xp from the bootmenu.
  in both options, you lose the hard drive recovery!

• Satellite Pro 6100 - invalid boot.ini file message at boot

  Hello

  Don't know where to start.
  I want to just run Office 2003 from my Satellite Pro. Had problems with the HDD so I decided to format using the recovery discs.

  Now, when I start the machine initially I get the following message: * invalid boot.ini file. Starting from c:\windows.*
  After a minute or so, the following message appears. * missing or corrupted system32.hal.dll file *.

  Any ideas how to fix this please?

  Hello

  Looks like the laptop cannot start the Windows operating system and a few files damaged or are missing.
  In your case, I would try to reinstall new OS.
  Format the whole HARD drive and try again.

  If the second installation does not help, then a HARD drive should be checked may be that you need a replacement.

• Satellite Pro L350 SSD upgrade does not work

• Satellite Pro U400 - Vista boot failure

  My 2nd nine Satellite Pro U400 (first a HARD drive failed after 1 week!) now does not start on Vista.
  Works very well for 4 weeks with upgrade original Vist Basic to Ultimate and Office 2007.

  Today on the switch on the Toshiba bar logo (with go to Setup etc.) started then replaced by Microsoft 'bar', then replaced by the arrow of the Mouse/touchpad.
  Mobile arrow on the screen of the mouse, but then nothing else, boots.

  Tried all modes of security and same problem.

  Ideas to please or do I have a 2nd 'lemon '!

  Hmm. I don't know if this problem could be related to upgrading from Vista Basic to ultimate, but nothing is impossible m.

  I think the HARD drive is not the problem as you can still start the OS startup.
  OK, the OS crashes, but if the HARD drive would be dysfunctional, then you should be able to see the 'bar' of Microsoft.

  So for me, it looks like something wrong with the operating system and therefore the use of the recovery CD would be desirable.

  Using the recovery CD would format the HARD drive, but unfortunately I really t see any other possibilities for the laptop running again.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
  Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

  First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
  Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

  From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
  I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
  Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
  I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

  In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
  This means a failing drive?
  What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

  By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
  The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

  Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

  When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

  Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

  Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

  Thank you
  Dan Gent

  > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
  You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

  If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
  One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

  > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

  > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

  As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

  > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

  The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

• Satellite Pro 430 CDT - boot disk problems

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 430 cdt which I am trying to re - install windows 95 (I have win 95 on cd) on with no luck at the moment.

  I downloaded the two files from bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com, win95a and win95b, but have neither the right cd rom driver, so then I got put www.driverguide.com driver this driver on startup disk and change the config file to use the correct driver and I always get the message that no driver for cd rom drive was found.

  I don't know if the cd rom drive no longer works, even if the green light on the side flashes when you eject the disc that told me that things seem ok (maybe wrong here however). I have the cd rom plugged into the Bay on the right side of the machine (internal) and drive in the caddy it is connected on the left side of the machine (external) and even if I swap them on the cd rom drive does not work but the floppy drive works in two ways. If the connector edge on the cd rom drive doesn't work properly or the drive itself is shot.

  If I remember correctly when the boot disk works correctly it should give you 3 or 4 options (don't remember that it was a long time ago I finally did, and I did not work boot disc, DOH!), which one should be something like, "install windows with the cd rom support" or something like that.

  Once I get this I am ok I have win 95 on cd, and it is quite simple installation there from there that I built a few pc and installed different versions of windows with no true front hassels.

  Did he have the same machine as me (uk version) and able to compress all the files on a boot floppy from win 95 work and e-mail it to me?

  Or just files autoexec.bat and config.sys are all I really need (as long as they work those). Anyone know anywhere I can get my hands on one set of diskettes originally supplied with the machine that I seem to have lost mine, I think there were two or three players but no windows cd, I bought my copy (legit) from a computer fair years.

  Will provide you with my e-mail address later if necessary.

  Thanx

  Hi Steve

  I found the information that the device was shipped with 10 x player XM - 1502-B.

  Check this box:
  http://www.cdrom-drivers.com/companies/1066.htm

  There you can find a lot of drivers for different units. But maybe it's something wrong with the occupation of s PIN. In addition, you can ask the service partner for advice.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite Pro M10 - strange Boot problem

  Hello.

  My Satellite Pro M10 has developed a strange problem. It will power with its installed hard drive.

  The yellow light beside of the plug symbol starts flashing. When there is no hard drive not connected, or another hard drive from another trendy laptop it starts fine?

  I don't know how to help you. HARD drive changes and everything will be ok.

  Is - this original hard drive that you got with your laptop?

• Satellite Pro U300-143 - Boot OS SSD Express Card

  As verbatim:
  http://www.verbatim.it/it_10/product_ssd-ExpressCard-64gb_31_0_15800__5184.html

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It would be possible if the BIOS would provide such support.
  But as far as I know the BIOS support booting from:

  * USB floppy drive, HARD drive, ODD, Network (LAN), USB memory *.

  As you can see booting from Express Card is not supported.
