Satellite Pro A100 - PXE message appears at startup

I have a problem and I really really really could use some help, its been listen to me for the last two days ive trawled through countless amounts of forums and web pages without success then for a last ditch attempt until I throw it out the window (figuratively) I thought I'd come here for help!

It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 model No. ' PSAAPE-00Q00KEN

initially when I started the computer this error message came

PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
Operating system not found

now, I managed to stop the PXE errors by disabling the Lan built into the BIOS option

I have check and made sure it is not a disk in the DVD player to the left it doesn't have a floppy drive so it isn't that

BIOS for some reason usually see the hard drive is a seagate 80 GB HDD Sata, but I know that its fine because it works but in my Dell laptop.
and my Dell laptop hard drive is not seen in the Toshiba.

Now that I read all about flashing the BIOS, but I can't because the only download I get Toshiba is one that runs when windows is running (if I can't get it to boot, how do I Flash the bios)?

I also tried thing BIOS resseting to short-circuit the c88 under the wireless network card, but that didn't work or the other!

Now is there anything else I can try or do give up and throw it out the window?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

It's really strange, but it looks like your HARD drive to the motherboard controller is the reason for this because you said that the HARD drive works in another phone.

Can you please try another HARD drive in this notebook? If another HARD drive works the old HDD is definitely faulty and if not, I think that the motherboard must be replaced.
So, you can determine what is exactly the problem.
In addition, I think that there is nothing more you can do at the moment.

Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100: Trojan warning message during the windows BIOS update

    Trying to update my Bios through windows, my anti virus (f-secure) has a crush on decompressing the zip file a warning.

    The warning pointed out that the folder contained a Trojan horse and that he had been cleared to protect my computer.
    A warning from microsoft also said that access to these files had been blocked to protect your system.

    Is it possible that this update, downloaded from Toshiba really contain malware or could there be another reason for this event?

    Hi james

    Don't you panic! You BIOS are not affected by Trojans, Malware or viruses.
    For the most part these BIOS files are not known for anti-virus applications and, consequently, anti virus software reports and notifies a virus.

    Before you start the update of the BIOS, you must disable automatic virus protection!

  • Virtual sound on Satellite Pro A100 problem

    I have the Satellite Pro A100 (PSAAC) "PSAACE - 00200DG 3"with Windows XP."

After I deleted the old Virtual Sound driver and started installing new version of same message appears "Toshiba Virtual Sound can't stand your computer."

    Thank you!!!

  • Satellite Pro A100 - has no Imaging

    Hi all

    I tried to picture 16 Satellite Pro A100 for several days now. I tried our usual deployment solution called altiris and cela images very well the machine (which means that all files are intact), but when starting says NTLDR error, after looking for awhile, I found that altiris was known to have some problems with SATA disks in function. At this point, I decided to re - build the main image and use Ghost, I tried their exchange of traffic on the network and they picture (the same as previously intact files) but always returned with the same error. Then I tried to drive my main image to another disk drive cloning, once again the same error appeared while my main drive worked fine. I tried all the fixes NTLDR, wrote new boots still with no luck. I don't see it was a hardware failure, because it would be very strange to happen in 15 laptops. What I'm looking for is a form manageable to the Image of these PCs, as they are used in a primary school and will need Imaging regularly.

    Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Jason

    You get an error like this: an NTLDR or NTDETECT.COM not found

    If Yes, this problem may occur if your boot device (for example, a floppy drive, hard drive or CD-ROM drive) does not contain startup files.

  • Bluetooth is not recognized on Satellite Pro A100

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 828 running Win XP Pro.

    He is supposed to have integrated bluetooth but when I install the bluetooth stack, a message appears saying peripheral usb has malfunctioned and is not recognized by windows.

    In Device Manager, it is listed as an unknown device.
    I tried different versions of the bluetooth stack, but the same message still appears.

    Is there a software fix for this or does this mean that my hardware is defective? Would be grateful for any advice.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    where downloaded battery Bluetooth? And another question: do you have bluetooth never work properly? It would be interesting.
    Try another might be to download a Linux Live-CD and to check if the problem is perhaps more a hardware related issue.

    So, if you need an alternative download source then try this address:

  • Cannot use wireless LAN with my Satellite Pro A100

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
    NETGEAR DG834G

    Can not use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software. I don't know what that means and what software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless. I'm ok with wired connection.

    I don't know much about the technical aspects and therefore ask for help so any reader can.
    Thank you
    Kris

    > Can't use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software.

    You may not use the ConfigFree for configuring Wlan but own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Atheros Clint Utility or Intel ProSet utility. It depends on the WLan card which utility can be used.
    Card Intel-> Intel ProSet utility; Card Atheros WLan-> Atheros Clint Utility

    I guess the message + this connection is controlled by other software + appears because one of the above options controls the WLan.

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 with 4 GB of memory but the BIOS tells me that I have only 3 GB

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-830 and I bought the maximum memory for what is 2x2gb, for a total of 4 GB in my world. When I put the DIMMs in themselves in a slot, the BIOS reports 2 GB. BIOS Bravo! When I put both together, I see only 3 GB in the bios!

    I found this link on the Crucial site. http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.asp?QID=4251

    Suggest page files, peripherals etc. occupy memory on your system at startup, before the operating system is used I guess. If you do not have the maximum memory installed, you should see the total memory. If you got the maximum memory installed, you will not see the memory used by page etc. files. Why would it be? Why you would see 2 GB if you have only 2 GB but then see 3 GB if you have 4 GB due to the system!

    Anyone can shed some light on this subject and be eligible or reject the information in this link. I need to replace the memory and/or the pc?

    Thank you

    Mark

    This is not a BIOS problem but a Windows.
    I found this info:
    Windows XP Professional 32-bit is limited to 4 GB of address space. If you have 4 GB of RAM installed, it won't show 4 GB in Windows. You will probably get what the size of your pagefile subtracted the 4 GB.

    Some of this address space is reserved for the hardware and the operating system... so you will never have access to the 4 GB maximum in any case. If you want access to 4 GB of RAM +... your best solution is to pick up XP Pro 64 - bit... but this will only work if your CPU P4 has EMT64. (64-bit)
    You can also try to turn on DEP if it is not already enabled... This will also allow EAP that can give you access to all 4 GB

    So finally a response:
    > Do I need to replace the memory and/or the pc
    -> No, everything is ok... you need not to change the hardware

  • Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

    Hello.

    I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

    I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
    (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

    But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
    When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

    So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

    Thank you.

    The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
    So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

    I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAASE: error Power Saver and LAN? After downgrade to XP

    Hello
    I have a toshiba satellite pro A100-psaase!
    I could not find this model on the toshiba site, so I chose the A100-psaas software.

    The laptop came with windows vista. I have it downgraded to windows xp, has chosen the psaas model so that I can download the drivers.

    I have 2 problems: the first is the eve of power software, it does not work. Start windows every time I get an error in the energy saver. I can not uninstall.

    My second problem is, that a windows pop who found a network controller and I can't find any software or driver for it. So in Device Manager, an exclamation point on the icon of the network controller.

    The funny thing is that I have internet and all.
    I can't find a solution to these two problems
    Thanks again

    Hello

    You have chosen the correct unit. The satellite Pro A100 PSAASE is the same model as PSAAS.
    I put t know why the power gain error appears, but for most of these errors occur because the tools and utilities have been installed in the wrong order!
    Seems that the installation instruction has been placed on the page of the driver Tosh! Read and follow the installation guide lines! Proper installation is important and necessary.

    The LAN drivers are also published on the page! There are 2 different versions. Try them both!
    The laptop supports a Lan Intel Ekron-R 82562GZ chip. Compatible drivers, you can also find on the Intel page!

  • Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

    In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

    The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

    http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

    and here

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

    If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - audio artifacts / Virtual Sound

    My Satellite Pro A100 (PSAA3E) has a boring character: audio (MP3, DVD, MPEG audio, etc.) reading is accompanied by a rumbling of objects of type "underwater." The same files (audio or video) or played on any other computer in the House of discs play perfectly well.

    Since the problem seems to be related to this laptop, I tried to watch the audio software updates.

    I noticed the Virtual Sound up-to-date. Downloaded, he ran. Installation upgrade needed to the previous version to remove, I did. Re-directed the program installation and received the message: "Effect Audio TOSHIBA does not support your computer."

    Now, I still have the annoying audio artifacts, but I do not have any version of the Virtual Sound utility!

    Someone at - it guidance to offer on this situation?

    Thank you very much...

    Hello

    I can t believe that it of not possible to install it too much if it has been downloaded driver Toshiba and the box on the right page.

    I found a statement of installation for this laptop. He was placed in the pilot area.
    I think you should follow this guide to install the software and drivers.

    Sorry, but I put t see any other possibility to install Toshiba stuff on your laptop.
    As far as I remember that some drivers and utilities need other applications. Therefore, the order is important.
