Have you tried to remove the drive from Device Manager?
Try this procedure. After restarting the OS should recognize the drive again.
Maybe this will solve the problem.

Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not illuminate

    When I try to boot my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60, seems to be powered. A few seconds later, there is a click and it cuts.

    I tried to turn on the computer with just the power supply with the battery removed, just with no power supply and battery and power, but none of these options are making a difference.

    I also tried to clean the fan in the aspirant from the outside by a suction pipe, but even once, it did not help.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Turn the laptop over and unscrew the cover on the ram. Then remove the ram and try to turn it on again. If it lights, put the piston inside the laptop and try again. It does not turn on? Then your ram is dead. If yes then you can replace, or have your asp replace it. If this does not resolve the problem, there is a small plastic cover that runs along the keyboard just above the keyboard. Take this off and then unscrew the fixing screws to the bottom of the keyboard. Under the keyboard, you may have a second RAM slot. If Yes, try to remove the RAM stick and turn. It work? If this isn't the case, you probably have a problem with the motherboard. If it lights fine, then you have found the issue and can replace or continue using it without the extra RAM. Hope this helps and have a nice day.

  • Satellite Pro M40X - can not read MMC - SD card more than 1 GB

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro M40X but it read only MMC/SD with a capacity of 1 GB. If I try with 2GB or 4GB nothing appens. What can I do? What drivers I try to upgrade to Windows XP to be able to read cards up to 4 GB?

    thanx

    Hello

    The drive will not read the 4 GB SD card due to hardware limitation!
    CA? s not a software but a hardware problem!

    Even you will update the driver, it will not help get the 4 GB SD card running!
    I recommend to use an external card reader which can be connected to the USB port!

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not recognize DVD-R blank disc

    Can anyone help?

    I've tried several brands of DVD - R, but also blank discs DVD + R on my Satellite Pro A60, but very few of them are even recognized.

    Pioneer DV - RW DVR - K13A is supposed to work correctly when I check the Properties tab.

    I tried to watch upodates but frmwre - na .zip was not allowed to work, the D drive was not considered appropriate...

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    Hello

    What exactly do you mean? Is the drive does not support content or there is problem if you want to burn data on DVD-R media?

    Can you please explain this a little more carefully?

    Just FYI: I use the empty media TDK almost 5 years and I can say that TDK is very good for this kind of things.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and when I turn on the machine, the lights come on and the fan whirls for about 5 seconds and then the machine just turns off again.

    No matter if I have the battery or HARD drive in or not, the same phenomenon occurs.
    I guess it's problem of CPU or power supply Board, but I don't know.
    Is there anyone else who has had this problem and if so how is it resolved?

    Any help would be appreciated very with gratitude that I am out of warranty and need the laptop when you work from home.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I guess it can be a single processor or card mother related issue.
    If there is something wrong with the power supply for laptop card then the cell phone would not turn on, even for 5 sec.

    But it's only my personal suggestion to make sure what's exactly wrong check specifications should be necessary.

    So I think that a laptop computer technician should check it out.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not

    When I start my Satellite Pro A60 I get the Toshiba screen, then it goes to a white screen and nothing else happens. I tried to remove the battery, disconnect it from the socket without success.

    I turned on the laptop and you press F12, but nothing happens, occasionally strange after the Toshiba screen, there will be a black screen with the words "Checking boot CD-rom" in the upper left corner and then nothing happens.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? If so could you please email me at [email protected]
    Thank you

    Hello

    Check please if the HARD drive is recognized correctly. Enter the BIOS settings and see if the HARD drive is listed there.

    You can also try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try using recovery media to see if the recovery procedure starts correctly (if the HARD drive is recognized properly).

  • Satellite Pro M70 does not read the DVD of some manufacturers

    Recently, my Satellite Pro M70 stopped reading some DVDs, specifically verbatim...
    When I put in, it is just to see any disk. If I put the same disk into any other computer, even my friends Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 - than mine, even it reads normally.

    Any ideas?

    WEIRD laser could be at fault, or it is maybe dirty. Try to clean the lens with a Microfiber cloth.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - does not start

    My A60 will not start. The power supply is plugged with a green light on the power supply and the A60. The battery is full (light began in orange and is now green). Nothing happens when you press the power button.

    Tried to take the battery out and running on AC, but no change.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
    L

    HI Laurent,.

    Try to remove the battery and also diconnecting the AC power for a few minutes. Then re-install the battery and try to turn on the unit. If this does not work, then remove the battery and plug in the AC power. Again try to power on the device.

    If none of the above works then you will need to refer to a Service partner authorized to have the laptop checked.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A60 would not work XP, but is fine with W2k

    I bought my A60 as last year, worked well but oneday froze, tried to reinstall the OS using the product recovery disc. the procedure went very well and asked for a restart, but on reboot it froze again, I tried Pro Rec disc a few times, but with the same result.

    Then I tried the fresh xp copy that also froze before installing the files. I am now using windows 2000 which seem 2 ran fine for a few weeks, but now I have no volume.
    I have triede pilot plant but it still would not come. If im use it without volume, but I can't understand why would he not let me install the product or Win XP Recovery disk but would allow win2000 but without volume.

    Please help me, thank you very much

    Hello

    It is very strange that this unit freeze after the installation of recovery. Please remember that no external devices are connected to the unit when you do this.
    It will also be interesting if you have upgraded from memory.

    Before using the recovery installation CD you can also try to set default values in the BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not recognize the accept/DVDs blank

    My computer will not accept blank CD - R disc so I can burn data on them, but my computer will not accept blank DVD discs that I want to be able to use to store more data.

    In the drive of my computer D reads "DVD - RW", I guess so, but am not sure that this means that my pc should be usable with DVD-R and DVD - RW discs but it do not accepts / acknowledges these when I put a try to burn something on them.

    My computer also does not accept / recognize DVD + R Virgin discs as I have tried those, just in case they might work.

    Help please!

    Hello

    Have you also tried to burn DVD-R discs?
    I had also some problems with DVD + R discs, so I changed to a DVD-R and since all works well! :)

    I don't use Windows Media Player to burn discs, I use CD Burner XP. It is a freeware tool, very small and fast. It works on most versions of Windows, and you should try it too!

    Also check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware!

  • Satellite Pro A60 will not start up CD/DVD

    I have the above and it does not start from cd/dvd. I know that the cd/dvd is bootable and works well. I can boot from the floppy drive and access the cd/dvd without problem, but that dose not allow me to load windows XP. If this is not the drive or the cd/dvd. So what is the problem?

    Paul

    Hello

    How did you try to boot from the CD drive?
    Have you tried to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?

    Alternatively, you can press F12. The start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the drive as a boot device.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not start: missing or damaged config.sys

    Hello

    I turned off my computer Friday, I went back to his Monday - and it won't start. I thought that the config.sys file is missing or damaged.

    I tried all the usual methods - safe mode, last known good setting, OS etc, but none of it works. The computer does not recognize that the recovery CD is in the drive, either.

    As I don't have an original installation CD - the computer was shipped with the software already installed - I can't try either.

    I want especially to recover the entire system, but if I have to, I can live with that. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you very much.

    Have you tried to boot your PC and press C after POST message? Recovery CD to be inserted.
    This C command forces the laptop to boot from ODD first.

    Maybe it works for you.

  • During BIOS update by Satellite Pro A60 went down and did not start

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I've updated the bios. To halfway the update, my laptop came down and started Hasna´t since. It only give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is damaged, I guess) and turns off again.

    Tried to start with (~) key pressed (a tip I received from a friend), but without success.

    I live in a country where there is no available Toshiba dealer and I rather not ship the laptop for repair.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This doesn't sound good.
    If during the POST, the BIOS detects a problem, it will normally display an error message visual on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before it initializes BIOS video card or a video card is not present or not detected then BIOS will play through the Speaker beeps to let you know there is a problem.
    Depending on the type of BIOS you have the BIOS can play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or emits the signal even a few times indicating the problem.

    In your case, it is possible to s you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
    To avoid such damage and mistakes, Toshiba published FAQ document.
    How to upgrade the BIOS on most of the units!

    That you should read before making updates to the BIOS!
    Unfortunately, I n t think that you can fix yourself. I think you should ask to help ASP.

  • USB devices not seen on Satellite Pro A60

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my laptop Satellite Pro A60 running Windows XP Home: it is simply not to see all devices at all. Devices (USB, fan keys) are to be supplied with electricity, but I can find no trace of them on the computer anywhere. It is even not complain that they are not recognized - it's as if they were not there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers of hub USB root/controllers, but that has not helped.

    It is the latest in a string a glitches that can be helpful to know: a few weeks ago, the ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP suddenly caused windows crash at boot time. I could just sort the problem by updating the bios and reinstall the ATI drivers (all toshiba). It is not of course the relevance, but after the bios update I also improved the 6 F-secure antivirus software. XX to 7.01.

    Usually, I try to get as much as I can by reading these forums but I'm not a guru of computing and on this one, I'm out of ideas - because Windows is not identify any fault, I don't even know what to look for on google... Someone has an idea?

    Thank you very much

    Philippe

    Hmm, you said that you have already reinstalled the drivers of USB controllers/root hub.

    But maybe you should try to make this again as a result of this procedure;
    -Disconnect all USB devices
    -go to the Device Manager and change the view to display hidden devices.
    -Open the tree of the USB controller and remove all controllers.
    -Restart the computer and wait until the OS has installed everything again.
    -Then plug the USB devices to the USB ports for laptop

    If this does not help, it would be desirable to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied.

    Good luck

  • Module of RAM not recognized on my Satellite Pro A60

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and recently bought a RAM of 512 MB memory upgrade.
    I have fitted on the correct port, however, there does not appear to be be achnoledged as being there.
    Can someone help me?

    [Edited by: admin August 31 05 19:02]

    Hi Robert,.

    I guess your A60 has two RAM ports, then I suggest that Exchange you the two RAM modules autour to check if the port rather than the modules itself that is the source of the problem.

    I hope that you took of anti-static precautions before manipulating the new RAM module. They are easily damaged by a discharge of static electricity.
