• Satellite Pro A10: IDE #1 error - drive doesn't appear unless the CD is inserted

  Hello

  I've been recently wearing on my bed watching a DVD when I fell asleep with the laptop sitting next me on my bed. During the night, however I moved and he accidentally knocked on the side of my bed.
  The next day when I booted up the loading it said IDE #1 error since then I understand it is a mistake to CD/DVD drive, the device works very well, starts ok (except the IDE error) and I can use it as usual except that there is no DVD drive in 'My computer', which is a bit of a pain when I want to watch a movie/play a game or install something.

  The drive itself is completely insensitive, when I press the button to eject the tray, it doesn't do a thing.
  I decided to try to remove and put back the drive to see if it was struck just loose when he fell of the bed as he fell only in short way (approximately down to 18 ".)

  I removed all the covers on the bottom of the laptop and checked that all was in place correctly and to try to understand how to remove the drive but would not do too adventurous as to worsen the situation, the only thing I have done is to remove the CPU fan and remove a few stuffed animals and remove the HARD drive and glanced to make sure it was not damaged in any place) It wasn't) and then replaced and replace all covers.

  When I rebooted the system, it started fine as usual, and the player react when I press the eject button, but the DVD player (sometimes) will now appear in 'My computer', but only when I insert something (be it a DVD/game/program), then it displays the error message an error of e/s on the device there.

  Any help of you all would be a great help, I thought just remove the drive and replacing it with a new one as a DVD RW one but I do not know how, I would be very grateful for advice and guidance you could provide.

  Thank you very much
  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  It is possible that the relocation of your optical drive may be necessary to refer it to the full. Unfortunately on the A10, it will be dismantled in order to achieve its screws located under the keyboard.

  Please see the following link for the complete disassembly instructions. The DVD player is covered in step 13. http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA15/SatelliteA15_laptop_disassembly_1.htm

• Tecra M5: Need for a Slim Select Bay HARD drive adapter

  I bought the Tecra M5 last week and I'm very happy with it, but I also bought the disc adapter HARD Slim SelectBay (number PA3134U-2CTE)
  I already have a hard drive to go inside, but upon arrival, I found that they are not compatible, and I need a caddy / adapter plate so that it all works!

  Anyone have any ideas on a market after copy?
  I spent the last 4 hours of the day on the phone with various departments within Toshiba and suppliers, of which none seem to be able to help. I'm going to spend 280 on a 100 GB HARD drive, when a 120 gig on his own is only 120, I think 160 for the plate of the evasive / caddy is too expensive!

  Cheers in anticipation.

  Hello

  I found information on the net that the adapter Slim Select Bay drive HARD PA3134U-2CTE is a really good part, and I imagine that you must now only a compatible HARD drive.
  The drive HARD and any other compatible parts, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  Check this page for the basic options for Tecra M5:

• Tecra M4-138: update BIOS (i) 3.40 (ii) Slim Select Bay HD

  (i) recently (12/06/2007), Toshiba has released an update of the 3.40 BIOS which can be done only through windows. I own a Tecra M4 - 138 running Win XP Tablet Ed and since now I've updated windows fron BIOS (now it is under v3.30). But the last update can be satisfied! After you run the update, it displays a small window with the label 'run... '. "and a bar running and... that's it! After waiting nearly an hour nothing happenned. I called the local dealer and they advised to perform decommissioning if the system restarts to repeat the procedure and if the problem continues to avoid the update. Is this (thankfully)! Because I don't know if this update fixes important and by default, I tend to be updated, any valuable advisor?

  (ii) I'm trying for some time to put a HD (secondary IDE) to my Tecra M4-138 using the Slim Select Bay drive HARD adapter (PA-3134U-2CTE), an IDE interface and... of Toshiba 120 GB HD... SATA (!) all bought them 4PC GMBH (a Premium Business Partner of Toshiba...). In any case, after not receiving their share of response to my posts, I decided to use this SATA HD as external USB and I am now looking again for a 2.5 "HD (IDE) put in PA-3134U-2CTE. The question: what can be the maximum capacity that resists the Slim Select Bay?
  ?:|

  The update of the bios version 3.40 is logical, but it is not necessary if you are running a stable system.

  There are two major improvements:
  1. exit TV (S-Video) is compatible with Windows Vista now
  2 Improments about Chipset Intel

  If you have a floppy drive there is another possibility for updating the bios.
  Extract the 3.40 bios. Copy the files chgbiosa.exe and BIO0026T.COM on the diskette.
  Now you can perform the update of the bios as described in the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07 Bios FAQ in the traditional update section.

  According to your second problem:
  Tecra M4 has no real limits on the size of hard drive in the Bay of select. The only thing you have to rememer is Tecra M4 has an INTERNAL Serial ATA HDD but select bay with a selectbay for Parallel ATA HDD adapter.
  So I wonder you bought a SATA HARD drive - for this slim selectbay adapater. PATA HDDs will only fit in!
  Back to your question once again. You can buy any real 2,5 "PATA HDD for this card. To get the good HARD-Adator disc on the HARD disk, you should consider buying a drive hard Toshiba selectbay in Catalog option (for example PX1340E - 1 12)

  Thank you for reading

  Hello

  I found the Win 98SE driver sound for the Satellite Pro 4600 on the European driver Toshiba page.
  You have to look in the folder to ARCHIVE.

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

  He choose: * Archives-> Satellite Pro-> Satellite Pro 46xx-> Satellite Pro 4600-> Win 98SE *.

  In addition to information of Yamaha audio driver, you can find these details:

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

  MK3265GSX Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "hard drive SATAII 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM

  Does it matter what company it comes? I thought I got it was weird that the Satellite U300 would not transfer more easily.

  If anyone has any ideas please let me know...

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.

  If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
  I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.

  Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

• Re: Satellite Pro C870 - Blue Ray player driver downloaded through Tempro

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro C870-10F Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Tempro me a well-informed driver I could install (a Blue Ray player driver). TEMPRO should be reliable... but first of all my Panda antivirus disabled the script installation, and when I disabled the antivirus protection, I ran again the installation of this driver and that he got an error on a file missing. I was not able to proceed with the installation at all.
  someone at - it had the same problem?

  The cause would be that I installed VLC Media Player?
  Thanks for your help.

  Last days, few people have reported on this notification Tempro. According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop doesn t have Blue Ray optical disc player, so I think that this update of the driver is not important to you.

• Re: Satellite Pro A120: cannot select an option on the recovery disk

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which has recently been faced with the "alert: System protection failure! "password:" problem that it turned up on some BIOS password unknown on its own in the middle of normal operation.

  I got that fixed local Toshiba ASP.
  But now, when I was about to reinstall the Windows cos she had slow, the possibility that the recovery media normally give to just format the first partition become invalid.

  In the settings dialog box, the option is always there but it cannot be selected by clicking on it (from the color of the background showing this option not valid currently)... which means that the only selection (selected by default) is format all of the 38 GB... I don't want to do.

  Someone knows what is wrong and how can I solve this problem.

  I assume that you are using Windows XP and the restore CD also contains the XP operating system.
  It s also interesting if this option has worked in the past?  :|

  However, it s really mysterious that the solution cannot be executed and unfortunately I do not know why it happened

  In the worst case, you'll have to back up data from the HARD drive and format the whole HARD drive :(

• Satellite Pro P300 - install the graphics driver

  Hi all

  This is my last resort before I throw this laptop through the window - and it is a gift for someone for Christmas.

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro P300 - model PSPC1E-005008EN, 2 GB RAM, 17 "display and Intel GMA X 3100 video card.

  As a very experienced engineer, same one that makes me tear my hair out.

  When the bike video car is installed with the ATI drivers what we call, or drivers intel I get an error 12 code saying there are not enough resources to launch pilots.

  When I discovered the Device Manager with the hidden devices turned on that I have 2 video cards, 1 that works properly and 1 in the error state.

  I uninstalled the drivers, all the video cards software related and reinstalled all, or just the drivers and still no joy. I have a laptop that shows no model model of monitor or video card in display properties and the resolution doesn't go above 1024 x 768, and the image is so bright.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello!

  Your P300 has an Intel GM965 graphic card so I put t know why you want to install ATI drivers?

  I think the best way is to reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Or you try the graphics driver from Toshiba:

  I ve never had a Lan Driver or the ability to connect to a WiFi network. I am currently using a BT voyager, but who has broken. Is there anywhere I can download Driver Lan or Wireless Lan Driver that will allow the connection to my WiFi network without using voyager external BT.

  I'm sorry if this supposed doesn t. I tried various links does not.

  Thanks for your time. Kind regards.

  If you want to connect to the wireless network, you need the WLAN driver. LAN driver is not important in this case.

  Usually, you can download the driver WLAN Portal Toshiba WLAN, the last link you posted. You only know what you have the WLAN card.

  Have you ever tried this driver WLAN?

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

• Satellite Pro L770 damaged TVALZ_0.sys driver - where to find?

  Satellite Pro L770 does not start after flashing the BIOS to version 1.3 and install the latest version of Toshiba Service station.

  According to the repair of the Windows system, the c:\windows\system32\drivers\tvalz_o.sys is damaged.
  Where can I find a new driver for tvalz_o.sys intact?

  I tried to repair using repair windows system, but failed.

  The autoinstall tool would provide a solution for my problem?

  I think that the TVALZ.sys file is part of the Toshiba value added package.
  This package is released for Win 7 as well regarding the old Win Vista.

  I think you should try to reinstall this package

  You will find this software on the Toshiba UE driver page.
