Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-03Y010EN) boot from CD/DVD to install Win7
Looks like this ain t going to go quietly.
Problem 1
I get this error message when I set the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD then the HARD drive and install Win7
Windows did not start because the file
I ve discovered that l n nor Win7 or Vista use it, so I m assuming it is a blocking when I upgraded to Win7 Ultimate to XP Pro? Problem 2 Windows has a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer This error can be caused by disconnecting a device of removable storage, such as a USB external drive while the device is still in use, either by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM that fails. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer. FILE: \boot\BCD Did I miss something in the installation of this new HARD drive? Should I think about cloning the HARD drive to the new HARD drive and then just stick the new HARD drive in the computer? Thank you Installation of Win7 on an A120 can be difficult. Have you updated the BIOS? What is the size of the HARD drive? Tags: Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-03Y010EN) no access to the BIOS Hi all I upgraded my OS from XP - Pro to Win7 Ultimate 2010 March, no problem everything works OK. Now that I need more space, I want to upgrade the hard disk of 40 GB to 320 GB. I can not access the bios to change the boot system (boot from DVD, for example), I can access the initial screen of the 4 menu at the start of the laptop but any icon highlight (disks, CD/DVD/etc), the laptop starts just Win7. I tried to use F12, DELETE, F2, etc.; all of them get the Select where I want to go, but as I said earlier, when I select one, the laptop starts just in Win7 from the hard drive. My manual tells me to use the Toshiba HWSETUP to access the boot system, but its does not work on Win7 (90% CD-ROM of the tools do not work on/with Win7). I downloaded the new drivers Win7 for Bios and other different pieces, some have installed and others have not. More (including the BIOS updated) claim that I am running a not recognized OS so used to install! How the Win7 is an unrecognized OS? So my questions are; See you soon Hello > 1.

Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1A-073004) replacement battery I have a 3-4 year old Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-073004) who needs a new battery as the current within 10 minutes of the available battery. The current battery in the laptop's manufacturer PA3285U-3BAS a Toshiba 6 cells Li-ion primary battery. However, after contacting several local Australian retailers, they tell me that Toshiba has discontinued this particular part number. Are you able to advise me if this is indeed the case? If so, could you suggest the number of part of an appropriate substitute for the main battery? Thank you. Hello I don't know the situation in Australia, but I can't imagine Toshiba ceased production of this battery. Installation problems after upgrade the HDD on Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E) Hello I've recently updated my Satellite Pro A120 with more memory and a larger hard drive. The memory I installed is 2 x 1 GB Module (DDR2-667) and the product number of the hard drive is MK2035GSS. My computer recognizes both of these upgradges, but since their installation I was able to install all applications (for example Norton Security etc) on my laptop - they seem to spend 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in which the installation process and then just quit smoking and become insensitive or an error message appears. I even tried to put the product recovery disc to try and erase everything and start over but even that does not load in entirely. Any ideas of what could be the cause? Also, I get messages of constant error on the screen and it blue screens and restarts frequently. If anyone has any ideas on what could be the cause, I would be extremely grateful for any help! Thank you very much Cblack Post edited by: cblack Hello just a question, than to the manufacturer that are the memory modules? And similar modules? Or do you have that you have installed other modules later. It might be, that memory modules are not compatible with your machine. To avoid these incompatibility issues, you must use the modules of well-known such as kingston and toshiba brands. (I'd rather kingston, they work like a charm in my A100 Sat :)) Would appreciate comments on your part. See you soon Satellite Pro U400 - can I boot from a USB? I am wanting to partition the disk and I don't have a blank CD at hand... Surprised to discover, there is no option the BIOS to boot from devices USB 2.40. Please can someone confirm for me that this is not possible? Thank you. L. Yes, you can boot from USB FDD, primary HARD disk, optical device and network (LAN) But if you want to create a new partition on the HARD drive you don't need to boot from a USB n. If so, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create a new partition. Concerning Satellite L70-A-13F - cannot boot from CD/DVD I have the Satellite L70-A-13F.

Press and hold the ESCAPE key.
Turn on the laptop.
Press the F1 key when prompted.
The first page of the BIOS Setup screen appears.
If you have a utility called Toshiba hardware configuration (site in a windows environment) where you can choose the cd/DVD-ROM boot priority boot option
Thank you
One question; What operating system do you use? Looking for XP or Vista drivers?
The Toshiba driver page provides all the necessary drivers. There is a new update 5.20 - B70A DLA . CA? OS independent and Ca s? s a good idea to install it.
This is the problem for writing or formatting DVD-RAM disk.
The XP and W2k DVD-RAM driver is available by satellite Pro A120 PSAC0E
I tried to download driver for this model on the site of Toshiba, but with no luck to find the modem driver that I have found to reset the drivers.
I'm sure because I checked the pilot site and found all the necessary drivers for XP and the modem in the Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1 driver download area.
It is very important.
Backgrounder statement instillation on the pilot website shows you how to install all the drivers.
You must mark the unknown device (modem) and have point to the driver files that have been unpacked in the downloaded modem driver package.
I find all the drivers except Irda driver.
How can I get?
Then you n don't need to install any 3rd irda drivers. The windows OS using a clean!
My laptop "Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)" computer does not connect to any type of TV (digital or analog). I tried many different kind of connections to SCART-VGA to VGA-HDMI. I think something is wrong with the VGA output because apparently the Intel graphic card supports the TV/monitor output as the software driver suggests. However, I can't connect the laptop to an external monitor rather easily and without hassle.
Someone there has the same problem and if so, do you have a solution to this problem (everything!).
I see you are using an external monitor connector!
This port can ONLY be used with external display (screen) or a projector, but NOT with the TV!
Is it possible to get all the specific files of the machine on the toshiba site to complete the installation?

Simply choose your laptop download driver form. Satellite Pro-> Pro A120 PSAC1E-> Win XP
Put this number in Google and you will find many shops online in the world where you can order this battery.
We can exclude the HARD drive because it doesn´t HARD drive installed. they do not cause bluescreens or similar. In very rare cases, the disk HARD COULD cause errors, but then the pladder or BSOD´s must be REALLY damaged and in your case, the HARD drive is brand new.
Unfortunately, the USB is not supported ;(
Are you using the Vista on your Satellite Pro U400?
To reduce the first partition first and then you can create a new partition using a new space on the HARD drive.
64-bit Windows of 8.1.
But my notebook does not start from CD/DVD. It always starts the HD.
Program needs to start from the CD/DVD to restore the image. But the laptop does not start from CD/DVD.

At your startup secure machine option in the BIOS settings?
After the laptop has to freeze the fan going very strong and I can only shut down by pressing the power button for a while.
I already flashed the BIOS with the latest version.
Someone at - it an idea?
Sorry for my language, but I'm from Holland.
Thank you

The other reason might be a higher temperature. That would explain the cooling module hard.
Maybe to prevent the dust inside the computer laptop cooling modules rotating at a higher speed and the temperature rises.
A120 seems to be an older laptop and cooling modules can be dirty
You should try to clean the fans using a jet of compressed air
Works from pc but didn't enter the BIOS, the fan always starts at maximum speed, S.O. Windows XP Pro has started, but the fan still max speed!
If you just replace the CPU by yourself, it could be that you have used enough thermal grease.

Then please provide more details on your laptop!
First, it was important to increase the volume to the maximum with XP installed. Together sound controls must also be set to max.
Be sure to use the RIGHT driver sound after the new installation of Vista.
Not all drivers are working!Maybe you are looking for
