Satellite Pro A110 - in BIOS exclamation Point in front of the HARD drive

Satellite A110 Pro PSAB1C-GM80XE

Question is this. SATA CONTROLLER TOAST the laptop?

Story.

It seems as if the laptop hard drive has failed.
Prior to the laptop, it would get BSOD.
It would, however, go back to windows XP.

After that, sometimes it wouldn't restart, he would try to boot from lan as if there is no hard drives.
I check the bios.

There is a! in front of the model of the drive. I can't change it, reset default does not change.
No update of the bios was already made.
Page drivers laptop says I have to install the update to the bios from windows xp... I can't do it of course.

I bought a new hard drive for the laptop. WD Scorpio Blue (pretty standard) 160Gig

The laptop recognize model to drive hard in the bios, but once again with the exclamation point in front of the name of the template.

BIOS can see, but nothing else. No windows CD is able to watch the HD.

Once again, it is the sata controller or can someone point me to an update of the bios I can do with a USB key.
Should I just throw the laptop in the trash? I expect to give it a new life with a new hard drive and own bones.

Hello

What is the BSOD STOP Code?

If 0x0000007B, it means that Windows cannot find a SATA driver for the SATA controller. To solve this BSOD, set the SATA Mode in the BIOS in "COMPATIBILITY" mode, or use a USB floppy with the SATA driver on this subject during the installation of Windows. Press F6 when you are prompted to install a 3rd party storage driver.

Or otherwise, to use the original Toshiba Recovery disk to install Windows.

I do not mean the exclamation point in the BIOS that the HARD drive is faulty, it means that the HARD drive has the highest priority boot on my laptop.

    Thanks if anyone can help

    Hello

    The problem is that your laptop supports the SATA HDD controller but the system OS does not contain the SATA drivers
    You can assign in the compatible SATA mode BIOS.
    This allows you to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers.

  • Request for BIOS password after trying to wipe the hard drive?

    Hi - I got a new computer and tried to erase the hard drive on my old Toshiba laptop for sale on. It is a Toshiba A-210 and is about three years old.

    I put the "settings factory restore disk" and tried to follow the instructions on the CD cover. However, the instructions don't match the options given, I did something where I thought I was wiping the HARD drive. It seemed to go ok, but when I tried to start it again, it loads a black screen type "MS-DOS" asking for a password.

    The password only I put up on the computer was for my user profile, and it's not accept that. If I try to go on without the password, the computer turns off.

    I tried Googling and it could be a BIOS password, I think, but I've never been one of these. The only suggestions I could find for fixing involved by pressing one of the buttons "F" and move to Windows, but I can't get an answer using the 'F' keys On the Toshiba site it said that I needed to have it fixed by one of their authorized places, but I don't want to spend money on it, because I was trying only to erase the hard drive before trying to sell it on or scrapping it.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? My hard drive was erased? There is nothing really confidential there, but I like it as clear as possible, I really don't mind if its working, I would consider it breaks to pieces.

    Hello Katy

    After reading your thread I don't understand what you've done to lock your computer.
    Still is it BIOS password cannot be set by mistake.

    When the BIOS password to settle should be written twice before, it will be activated.

    What to do now? Is that the BIOS password can be deleted by a combination of keys or something simple. BIOS password is the most important safety feature and must offer the maximum protection of the BIOS.
    You can sell your laptop without HARD drive too. On eBay, I saw many laptops that will be offered without HARD drive for data protection reasons. HARD drive can be exchanged for less money and it is not so important hardware component.

    In the history I see a problem only: BIOS password. You can offer a little cheaper laptop and the new owner can pay for password removal.

    It is not easy to give you the right answer. I just want to be a little more realistic.

  • Re: Satellite A65 will start not because of recovery CD formats the HARD drive?

    1. my Satellite A65 WinXP seems to be corrupted and does not start.
    2. my system is dual-boot, Windows XP (16 GB) and Xandros Linux (24 GB)
    3 Xandros boots. Windows XP has been removed from the start menu.
    4. If I run the Toshiba Recovery CD, it will enter and reformat the whole disc or only the first partition WinXP?
    5. are there instructions online for the recovery CD?

    > 4. If I run the Toshiba Recovery CD, it will seize and reformat the whole disc or only the first partition WinXP?

    Well, if you have an older version of recovery which provides two options; standard recovery and recovery expertise, so you could choose the partition on which the operating system must be installed and ONLY that partition is erased and formatted.

    But if you, recovery CD doesn t contains options then the recovery CD will format the entire HARD drive!

    So be careful

  • Satellite Pro L770 - Win 7 x 64 can't install the bluetooth driver

    Hello.

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 x 64.

    I installed the SD driver and wireless driver.
    I tried to install the bluetooth stack...

    It installs the Bluetooth USB Controller-10 TOSHIBA and then located just 25% "installing the driver of Bluetooth." Please wait. ' Only option is to cancel. I can leave it like that for an hour and no change.

    Listed under other devices, I have:
    PCI Simple Communications controller
    SM Bus controller

    I can only assume that these two are related by the bluetooth drivers?

    Please help as I am more frustrated with this...

    Hello

    > PCI Simple Communications Controller
    > SM Bus controller
    > I can only assume that these two are related by the bluetooth drivers?

    SM bus controller could be the card reader so, eventually, you have to install the card reader driver.
    In addition, PCI Simple Communications controller could be controller Intel AMT.
    Download driver for Intel AMT of Toshiba page or page of Intel.

  • Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

    In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
    Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

    Hey Buddy

    TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
    I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

    Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
    You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

    I think Tempro means that partition

    Hello

    1.), I use the Partitions Magic 8 to create partitions on the HARD drive.
    This application is very nice and I love it all simply ;)
    You can change the size of the partitions, status and you can fully manage the partitions on the HARD disk. And the best thing is you do not need to format anything B-)

    2.) well, the computer Toshiba laptop are delivered also with the recovery CD. I think that all manufacturers of laptops offers this CD of restoration with own products.
    In any case, on this CD, you'll find Tosh preinstalled operating system drivers.
    If you want to install other OS (XP MCE) you can do it, but you should check if there are drivers that are needed for this OS. But I have XP drivers should also work with thin MCE.

    Hello

    The first error message said nothing; He only says that something is wrong on the HARD drive.
    Why you n t pres the button Don t ask me once again this problem?
    It seems the message again using this option?

    On the second picture, I see that your Intel Matrix Storage Manager has not been installed on your Vista 64 bit OS.

    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find the 64 bit Vista drivers. Please download the Intel Robson Package from this site and install it. Robson package includes Intel Matrix Storage Management Utility for the management of your local storage space.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

    HI - new here. I have a:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
    Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

    It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

    Thank you.

    Hi Lapitup,

    Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

    Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

  • Recovery of Satellite A215 after replacing the hard drive

    I have a Satellite A215 from issues taken to a store, they said the hard drive was going wrong, they extracted the files it could.
    I replaced the concert of 80 hitachi Moose with a new concert of 500 hitachi. When I try to launch the boot disc that came with the computer it says loading windows then goes to a recovery mode and I can't function.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

    At this point, it would be interesting to know if the same thing would happen with 100 GB HARD drive. Do you get the such or similar HDD somewhere for testing purposes?

    It's that you can't manipulate image recovery and recovery installation procedure. Either it works or not.
    To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your upgrade. I can't imagine that a small car can work with stronger engine 10 times. What do you think?
