• Can I install a DVD - RW on my Satellite Pro A10 drive?

  I want to upgrade the drive of DVD ROM/CD-RW (SD-R2412) on my Satellite Pro A10 on a DVD - RW drive, so I can burn DVDs. I bought a Toshiba (TS-L632) DVDRW drive, because it's exactly the same size and shape, such as the existing DVD ROM drive, the same voltage (5v) and the same connector.

  However, after installation and setting on the laptop, it is not recognized as being installed that is to say, there is no sign of it at all on the computer. Is it because the laptop is completely unable to support a DVD - RW disc, or have I bought an incompatible device? If so, is there a compatible DVDRW drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Fred.

  PS the exact model of the Satellite Pro is PSA15E - 0115Q - EN

• Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612
  -Diving Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM SD-R2412
  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• On Satellite Pro A10 HARD drive replacement

  Hi all

  Ive currently got my moms Satellite Pro A10 sitting in front of me. Wouldn't load XP at all so I downloaded Knoppix and ran the liveCD on the laptop. After some tests, it seems that the HARD drive has failed.

  The vehicle currently has a 30GB HDD (MK3021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 T) with a rated output DC + 5V 0. 7A.

  Told me that any HARD drive would work so I ordered a replacement of 100 GB of Fuji, except its a little too long to drive HARD case and it seems to be the cause of my power light flashes orange. Rated power on it is + 5V 0.55 a.

  Im stuck, what do I do?

  Hello

  > told me that any HARD drive would work as well
  It is not quite correct! There are material limitations.

  I discovered that the phone supports 20 GB; 30 GB; 40 GB and possibly a 60 GB HARD drive.
  I m not 100% sure of more HARD drive sizes due to the limitation of the BIOS.
  You should know that not all HARD drive sizes are recognized by the BIOS.

  Further, you should take a look at the supported interface.
  The laptop supports an Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface and that's why you should buy a HARD drive that require this kind of hardware specification.

• Satellite Pro A10 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

  Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
  Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
  is - that say I have:
  1 a hard drive damaged
  2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

  the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
  Would appreciate any help.

  Thank you
  SCL

  Hello

  Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
  If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
  Then try to start the recovery procedure.

  However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

• Need to know the model of display driver for Satellite Pro A10

  Hello! I'll try to find the exact display on my satellite pro A10 chipset model. The driver on the toshiba site is not updated, and I can't use the correct resolution (19 "Wide or 1440 x 900) on my external display.
  At the same time before I was able to update the driver correctly, just the search for generic driver "Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME" and software "extreme graphics" at the Intel Web site.
  But now, on the Intel site that they ask the exact model, which means that, if she is 82852 or 82855, and if it is GM or GME...
  Can U give the specific model please?
  My computer is a celeron 2500 MHz with 1 GB RAM and 30 GB HARD drive (standard)

  Thanks in advance...

  I found some details on this device and it seems that the laptop was equipped with the internal graphics controller Intel 852GM; code name: Montara GML

• Satellite Pro A10 won't start HARD drive

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 that is not responding. If I have the connected HARD drive I get a ' insert System Disk... "message, I checked the HARD drive with a 2.5" USB connector in another computer and it seems OK.

  The laptop, I cannot change the boot order to select CD-Rom so that I can try the recovery disks. I can't get into the BIOS, but the Boot Priority option is not selectable.

  Any help appreciated.

  Try this: connect the computer laptop HARD drive to a USB adapter and try to format the whole HARD drive.
  Then put it in the laptop, insert the bootable CD and try to boot from the drive.
  As mentioned you could press the C button immediately after you start the laptop

  Hello

  Just my old laptop slung and bought a 2nd hand, Satellite Pro A10 and have reformatted and installed my existing copy of XP home that uses the SP1, I managed to find all drivers I need except for the "USB Controller" and 2 instances of "Base system device".

  I can't find the USB driver anywhere, nor do I have any idea what a 'Base system device' is, any help greatly appreciated as its delay my work :/

  Hello

  I do not understand why you changed the operating system. I think XP Prof is the best version of Windows XP.

  Anyway, you can find all the necessary drivers on the utility CD & tools and programs. Drivers for XP Home and teacher are the same. On the CD drivers and programs are listed in the order. Follow this order during installation to avoid conflicts. And always reboot the system if necessary.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E: NO sound after installing Win XP

  Hello world

  I had to reinstall Win XP Home - which went well, however - now there is no sound and it says no audio device is installed. I tried to install the audio drivers on the Toshiba CD but they go as far as unpacking but then say "not installed" and Setup stops.

  I went to www. support. Toshiba.com and follow the menu to identify which drivers to download? but there are several possibilities for the
  Model A - 10 and I am not sure I have listed below models have.
  A10-S100, A10-S1001, A10-S127, A10-S128, A10-S129, A10-S1291, A10-S167, A10-S169, A10-S1691, A10 S177, A10-S178.

  I would be grateful for your advice.

  Thank you

  > I went to www. support. Toshiba.com and followed the menu in order to identify which drivers to download, but there are several possibilities for model A-10

  What you mean? On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find only one series Satellite Pro A10.
  Once again; Do you have a computer or a Sat Pro A10 laptop satellite A10?

  There is a driver of sound for a portable Pro A10. This is a version of audio driver Analog Devices 5.12.01.3542.
  If you are using XP SP2 please check the information provided on the page of the driver Tosh

• Can not start my Satellite Pro A10

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A10. When he tries to start windows, it comes up with the "We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully" etc. I tried all the options for example

  Start:
  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last known good configuration
  etc.

  None of the options works. All I get is a flow of information about drivers and it then hangs. The last driver in the list is:

  multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\System32\Drive rs\Mup.sys

  I can't clear the checkpoint.

  Unfortunately, I can't find the disc that came with the laptop, so I'm well and truly stuck.

  Any suggestions?

  See you soon

  HI Leon,

  It is quite normal that there is a list of drivers displayed when you try to boot into 'safe' mode However, if initialization fails, obviously there is a problem with your operating system and your only options are to try to fix the problem by using the recovery console (you will need to boot from a CD of original Microsoft installation), or you can restore the original Toshiba CD recovery full operating system.
  A third possibility would be to start with a utility such as Norton Ghost or Acronis image backup/restore and restore a backup previously taken by an external device.

  The simplest option is to restore from a backup that is already taken, but if you don't then you would be better restore from the recovery CD Toshiba you can get at any Toshiba authorized Service partner.

  Kind regards

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro A10

  Hello

  I have a PSA15E A10-IN running a celeron 2.0 chip. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if what chips it would take? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In most cases, the upgrade of the CPU is not possible because of the BIOS and chipset restrictions.
  But sometimes it is possible to use a different CPU, which is supported by the chipset.
  I have no idea what chipset supports your laptop, but you can check this in the Device Manager or you could install some hardware diagnostic such as Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition software.

  Then, you can view properties chipset Intel ARK on page for a list of compatible processors.

  However, Satellite Pro A10 is very old and I doubt its value to upgrade the processor because you won't see a great performance.
