• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

  And when I install XP on the computer I can see HDD format during the installation.

  Help me please

  Hello

  I think that it s a HDD issue naturally it s really strange that the HARD drive is different sometimes and sometimes it s is not visible, but I doubt that it could be software related issue. That's why I think that it s a drive HARD and in my opinion, you should check if other HDD SATA runs correctly.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A10 does not recognize the drive WEIRD AD - 7540A model

  Hi all.

  I just bought a new model slimline DVD rewritable AD - 7540A, brand Sony NEC Optiarc. When it is plugged into the computer laptop and for the POST, it appears the 'IDE #1 error' message after the operating system starts, I am unable to open the drawer and no CD/DVD can be read.

  I checked this drive on another laptop from another brand, and it works fine, so the problem is not in the drive itself. Could someone help me?

  Thanks in advance.

  The problem is simple.
  Your phone does support not all readers of CD/DVD slimline because different or bad master/slave/c-salt settings.

  The IDE #1 error message indicates that the BIOS cannot recognize the device connected to the #1 IDE controller.

  In your case, the solution is simple; you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player and supported

  Mayen a user manual would provide details on the management of records.
  If not, then contact the ASP in your country and ask some compatible devices!

• Satellite Pro A10 does not start

  Hello

  My laptop died this morning. When I press the POWER ON button, the power light is on, but nothing else happens. The screen is dark and I can't hear the fan running.

  Please can someone help?

  Hello

  The first step that I can recommend is to remove the battery for a short period and try to restart the device. It will be interesting to know if there is a possibility to enter the BIOS settings (use the ESC key at startup).

• Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

  Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

  In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
  Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

  What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

  When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

  When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
  The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

• Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

  I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
  It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

  I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

  Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

  I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

  What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

• Satellite Pro A10 does not pass the Windows page after removing SP2

  Hello

  I have a toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A10.
  I installed windows service pack 2 week last to try to get one of these dongles TNT to work, he never so I uninstalled service pack 2 I was going to try and reinstall it to see if it would work.

  Now, my problem is that the laptop will not go at all, it gets to the windows XP page and then everything stops, someone could help me I don't know what to do!

  Thank you
  Sharon

  Hi Sharon

  Seems that the system files are corrupted on the HARD drive.
  All of the installation and the removal of the service pack has damaged some files or registry entries.

  I don t think you will be able to resolve this situation without reinstalling the OS.
  In my opinion, it's a better way to get rid of this problem.

  Take the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall everything.
  If you want to back up your data, I recommend to connect the internal HARD drive to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

  Hi all

  I'm new here so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

  Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

  Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

  So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

• Satellite Pro L50 does not start with 8 GB

  I have a brand new L50 Pro of Satellite (PSKK3A-001001)

  Config of RAM is default of 1 x 4 GB memory DDR3 12800 1 use slot 1 slot free
  I removed 4GB and install 1 DDR3L 12800 8 GB but it does not start.
  The form of State capacity 16 GB so with 2 slots logically, that means 2 x 8 GB cards.
  He also said DDRL, which I assume is the correct type.

  The 4 GB mark was Hynix and the 8 GB is Apacer.
  Anyone have a resolution on this or know what the problem is?

  On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

  According to the specifications of the laptop you need DDR3L memory (1600 Mhz).
  Talk with your dealer and ask if there's Kingston compatibility module. Kingston offers high quality and 100% compatible memory modules.

• Satellite Pro C650 - does not start

  Hey all,.

  My Satellite Pro C650 boot not beyond a certain point. I tried to start in all modes different for example safe mode, mode of networking,

  However this proved unsuccessful, the laptop freezes and I meet a constant and regular beep at the same point every time that I try to start. I even tried to start Linux 12.04 USB to see if it's hardware or software, unfortunately is the same, which means hardware failure.

  The problem is that I don't know the bios beep codes and I can't understand what needs fixing.
  I was hoping you could help me!

  Thanks :)

  I think you need professional help with this problem. I don't know if your laptop is always guaranteed to be valid, but in my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They have special diagnostic tools and hardware malfunction can be detected and repaired.
