• Satellite Pro M30: Cannot write - DVD SD-R6112

  I have a M30 Satellite with a Player Pro combined DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD. The drive is marked as "DVD-R/RW. It will play the DVD without problem, but it will not recognize any blank DVD - RW disc. I've used Nero6 and RecordNow Delux.

  The drive is incorrectly marked? If anyone has had problems similar and, more important still, to find a solution?

  Hi Geoff,

  Your device works properly if you use DVD-R discs? I tried mine using a DVD - RW once and it would not accept the disk until I had formatted (using NERO).
  Using DVD - R blanks I had no problem at all.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 "Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD" upgrade

  We have a Satellite Pro A300 - 2C4 (bought on 23-11-09) that came with Vista Business 32-bit installed, but has been downgraded (using the provided diskette) to Windows XP due to the demands of corporate network.

  When Windows 7 became available, I bought the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Toshiba provided so that if the company decided to upgrade to the new operating system, we could do it on this laptop.

  That's what I tried recently to discover that we can't do as the DVD is for Win Vista upgrade Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to upgrade without having to buy another drive to upgrade. I have a set of recovery disks for an another Toshiba SatellitePro A300 - 2 4 which was bought about 2 months before this one. These were created using the Toshiba recovery software before any changes have been made on the laprop. Would I be able to restore the system to its state of Windows Vista using these disks and then use the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD to make the upgarde?

  Suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

  This upgrade package offered by Toshiba is upgraded from Vista to Win7. So if you want to use it, you must install Vista recovery image at first.

  After that, you can upgrade pre-installed Vista to Win7 following the Toshiba s implementation instructions.
  I did the same thing my Qosmio X 300.

  If you cannot use created recovery disc either s order Toshiba Vista recovery disk or (perhaps the best solution) install the clean version of Win7. A300 is fully supported for Win7 and you can download all the necessary drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
  Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
  Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

  Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

  It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

• Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
  Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
  I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

  OH DEAR what a big mistake.

  Now the netbook won't start windows.
  So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
  Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

  Hello

  I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
  It's because of the SATA controller.
  You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

  So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

  -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
  Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - cannot create own recovery disks

  Have a portable Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista Business 32. After a HARD disk recovery partition recovery, I decided to use the PC function full system backup to make a picture for later retrieval with all my current settings. Too inconvenient for factory reset default (Thunderbird 3.0 Mail, Open Office and some other small applications already running no problem for years on another computer in the office).

  The system needs 5 to 9 DVD and he wrote the first DVD. Takes about 30 minutes. Then, during the audit of this disc, it crashes. Audit bar stops at about 30% complete.
  Anyone with this experience? No, the company "Complete PC Image" works well on an OEM of Vista installation?
  Or maybe it's the DVD player in need of an update? I do not use a 3rd party burning software.

  Hello

  What program you use to create your own recovery discs? For example, I mean Acronis, Norton Ghost, etc..

  In your case I would try with another program like Nero or CD Burner XP burning.
  In addition, you can try to remove upper and lower filters in the Windows registry, maybe that will work.

  Finally, and especially on the Toshiba site, you can check if there is an update to the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

• Satellite Pro A300: Win 7 Upgrade DVD does not list my laptop model

  I bought a Satellite Pro A300 that came with Windows Vista pre-installed on it. I was offered a Windows 7 Uprgrade for 30 by Toshiba that I bought and got 2 discs:

  (1) Windows 7 Upgrade disc
  (2) Toshiba Win7 Drivers Upgrade drive

  I have updated successfully however the drivers Toshiba disk does not list my model of laptop. I tried to install the drivers on the disk for the OEM software such as drivers of web cam (which are not available online), but they do not work. Also now my DVD player does not open and I can't view the contents of the disc?

  Can someone advise who I come into contact with to get a drive for my laptop model?

  Hello

  What model of laptop do you have?

  Have you tried to choose another model instead of your laptop model?
  Do this!

  I read about a similar question here in the forum and the user could solve this choose another laptop model number.

  By the way; all Win7 drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver from Toshiba:

• Satellite Pro A300: code 12 - this device cannot find enough resources

  I use Vista Business 32 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300.

  Recently, I plugged my parallel to my laptop port adapter and the Device Manager, I had a device that said conflict error, "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12).

  If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. »

  Can anyone help me please with sorting on this problem?

  TEMI

  Hello

  This is a typical mistake if both devices have been attributed, ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct access channel in memory.
  This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources for the device.

  If seems that the resources are already used by another device, and so there is a conflict with the parallel port adapter that you have installed manually.

  I think you can only solve this check other devices that use the same resources and then that disabling in Device Manager.

• Satellite Pro A300 wrong interpret all THE CD/DVD

  Hello

  I need help!, I have a Satellite Pro A300 equipped with a multimode GSA - T50N (RT04), DVD player, but it does not work.

  The drive appears as DVD RW drive (e :))

  If I put a DVD or a CD player will not autorun and will, say something like 0 bytes free 645 MB (for example), when I right click on the drive icon and select Explorer, I get a message "prepare this blank disc.
  It doesn't matter what kind of media, I put in or even if its Blanck, formatted, a cd of music etc the size 0 bytes free of 645 (can be anything) is always different, but always appears the message "prepare this blank disc.

  How can I solve this that the laptop is totally useless without the player works correctly.

  Scott

  I had the same idea

  I recommend first of all remove all the system burning software.
  Go to Device Manager, and then remove the drive from CD/DVD to the list of devices. Then start the registry and go to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  After that, restart the device and wait for the CD/DVD drive was recognized again

• Satellite Pro A300 - driver Webcam cannot start under Win 7

  Recently bought a satellite Pro A300 and immediately updated from Vista to Win7 Pro Bus.
  Do not use webcam before upgrade.

  After upgrade, after downloading and installing the Toshiba Chicony webcam software, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail." "Please restart camera or computer.
  Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver v dated 06/21/06 (very pre-Win7!).

  Have you tried unistalling/reinstalling software camera assistant with and without first uninstalling the program camera in Device Manager, but the same error message comes back every time. I would appreciate suggestions for a fix.

  Hello

  In your case, I would try to install the latest driver for the webcam of Toshiba. Install this driver and try again. Also, make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed for your laptop.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same problem happens on Vista. You should try it with the factory settings. So that you can identify if it s a hardware or software problem.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-PSAGDE - cannot find 64-bit of Windows XP drivers

  I need drivers for Windows XP 64 bit for fingerprint, card reader, modem...

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Unfortunately your laptop model is not supported for 64-bit version.
  I don't know if it will work, but you can try to use the drivers for other satellites or Satellite Pro A300.

  Test it.
