Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

THX in advance people.

Hello James

IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.

  • 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

    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

    I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite pro A10.

    HI Tom,

    The error message that you receive indicate that your laptop is trying to start the connection to the LAN rather than from his own hard drive or a CD-ROM. I suggest that you verify that the boot sequence is specified correctly in your BIOS, or alternatively, you can press F12 during your market and you should get the boot device menu sequence appears so that you can specify that you want to boot from your hard drive.

  • Satellite Pro A10: Extraction failure error occurs during my recovery procedure

    Im trying to run recovery disks on my Satellite Pro A10 but after 20 seconds trying to install recovery disc 1 gose black screen and message in corner says extraction failed.

    Can you help me please?

    Have you tried to format and delete partitions on HARD drive integers before performing the installation from the recovery CD?

    Something similar happened to me. I wasn't able to install the OS from the recovery CD.
    I simply used the original Windows CD and you have formatted the whole HARD drive.
    After this procedure the recovery CD installation worked a lot.

  • Sat Pro A10: 'IDE #0 Error' on two laptops

    Hello

    Appreciate any input from anyone in case I did something really stupid or am incredibly unlucky.

    A Pro A10 Sat (out of warranty) looked like an imminent drive failure, then I cloned the drive and tried to share more, but got the error IDE #0 at startup. As I have two of these laptops, I traded in my second computer laptop to see if it was a disk error, but got the same error on the first laptop.

    On return the drive to the second laptop. She now also fails with the same error! The two laptops are no disk in the BIOS and nothing spinning upwards at the start. However, both connect to desktop fine, if the drives are OK.

    I don't see anyway to change the CMOS settings in case that's the problem with the new player or have I managed to damage the two IDE connectors in 5 minutes.

    Ideas or widely accepted views!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you tried putting the Hd drive in BIOS?
    If BIOS don't recognize try it HDD to manually set and save the settings in the BIOS
    If it is not possible, so I guess that it s something wrong with connectors or the HARD drive is not well positioned in the Bay.
    But it is also possible that the two HARD drive have a malfunction.

    Good bye

    Hello

    I put t think that your display is faulty.
    What happens if you access the BIOS at the beginning?
    To access the BIOS F2 press and turn the device on/off.

    Access the BIOS and let it run for a few minutes and check if the display starts at White.

    In addition its recommended to connect an external monitor and generate the display 2. If the 2nd screen is not OK, then the graphics chip could be the troublemaker.

    Hello Eric

    As you know, on this way it is not possible to give an accurate diagnosis, just speculate what may be the problem. In my opinion it is certainly because of faulty electronics on board, but what, exactly, it is not easy to say. Try to contact someone who has experience with laptop repair procedure.

    HELP ME PLEASE!

    Hello

    The ERROR IDE #0 message because the BIOS can't recognize the new HARD drive.

    The second error message like PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable is displayed because the BIOS did not find the HARD drive as a boot device, then the laptop tries to boot from the local network as a last option.
    Due to boot from LAN is unavailable the PXE error message and provide this message

    Well, what to say you should check the HARD drive if there are some riders who controls the settings master\slave\c-salt.
    For most switching jumper might help to solve this problem. But the problem is that not all HDD 2.5 supports these horsemen.

  • Satellite Pro L850-1EF does not supply power to the top

    Hi all

    I really hope that someone could help me please.

    I went to turn on my laptop and it won't turn.
    Fans are not put on, I have a slight white power on with no flashing and and also the same with the battery light (white on and not flashing)

    I tried to completely remove the power and held the button for 30 seconds before replacing the battery and the power to the machine.

    I really get to a stage of deperate as have all my pictures of children, family, wedding and honeymoon on my laptop.
    Please help if you can.

    Thanks in advance.

    Good news first: your personal files on the HARD disk like photos, the photos should not be affected.

    You could get access to the files to remove the portable computer HARD drive (details here: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU2603C20000R01.htm) and connect the HARD drive on another computer by using a USB-SATA 2.5 "case.

    Now for the bad news: from my point of view of the few your laptop has developed a hardware failure serious; Maybe that it's just a problem of module of RAM... in this case, you need to replace only the modules of RAM but in the worst case, the motherboard could be defective and such a fix could be costly.

  • Satellite Pro C850 - 14 d won't boot to the top

    My laptop won't turn. I had the toolbar Sweet Packs to come and I'm never round down to remove. Then last week, it was not plugged and ran out of battery. When I plugged it would not start. I'm completely at a loss.

    I pressed F8 and tried to turn it on in safe mode, restore, back to the last good configuration, repair, etc., and none of them work. It still just goes back to trying to start and default. It requires the Windows 7 boot disk, but we do not have.

    I'm not particularly computer literate and I am now panicking a bit. Has anyone advice please.

    Thanks in advance...

    Please be so kind and tell us first what model of laptop you have.

  • After that v1.90 updated by Satellite Pro A300-1EA BIOS won't boot to the top

    I just upgraded my laptop the new BIOS as indicated in the title, but after that program it my computer won't start at all upward. I just get a blue screen with her asking me to do a CHKDSK because there might be a virus or hard drive is not connected correctly (when it comes), and he keeps just reboot.

    It does not start in SafeMode either. Someone else had the same problem and if so, how to get back my laptop? :(

    Thanks for any response.

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A10 - but cannot work on what model it is?

    Hi, I am a beginner, but hey!

    I have an old, very old, but perfectly functional Toshiba Satellite Pro. It was purchased in October 2003. On the underside, he says it is a "Satellite Pro A10", but we can also read on the part number that reads 'PSA15E-02VPC-EN.

    What is an A10 or A15. As ever, it's what model is it, when I visit the download page online for pilots, there re a number of different models, I can't work on which it is my pc?

    There are eleven models A10 A10-S100 to A10-S178 and eight models A15-A15-S127 to A15-S1692.

    So this could be one of the 19 models? Any help much appreciated.

    P.S. I have formatted the hard drive, installed a clean copy of Windows XP, so now I need drivers.

    Hello

    According to your post, you have a series of Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E

    The drivers are located on the page of the European driver Toshiba;
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    But the laptop is old, then you must check the box Archive to get the drivers for this series. In product type choose Archive simple and then point to Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E ;)

    Hello David

    This error occurs if there is a problem with the CD/DVD drive. For example, this error occurs if you try to use the incompatible reader. It will be interesting to see what happens if the drive is removed.

    You did any player upgrade?
