Tecra A4 - upload of Firmware does not recognize drive

First of all, my CD/DVD-R + RW doesn't write not any CD or DVD for the last 3 years.
Second - as always, when I get the toshiba on firmware updates, I tried to update according to the instructions, but I get the message not connected disk target.

I followed all the instructions again more carefully, but no use. I received today a new update of the firmware. and I can not always up to date, I get the message "Target drive is not connected.
No operation troubleshooting? Help? suggestions?
This is the second update of the firmware that has failed. even the previous update firmware failed with the same error.
Another question: why only the updated easy to use? Its complex process even for the updates. Throat!
I was in a bit of hope that if I can update the firmware, it might help me to write at least CD now after 3 years... but even the FW updates do not work...
Hmm... any suggestion why I can't write CD or DVD?
I followed the suggestion given in my previous posts on the same problem of CD, but of no use writing finally! I would like to see the day where I can at least write a simple CD using my toshiba tecraA4. !

I only have an idea why you can't record CDs or DVDs
1. the player is default
2. you have Sonic DLA installed. If so, uninstall it. The program changes RW optical drives of a hard disk. This is why written CD fail. There is no way optical writing as nero or whatever you use.

  • Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

    I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

    I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
    Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

    Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

    THX

    Hello

    Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

    I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
    The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

    I formatted the original installed OS and newly, MS XP sp2.

    It sounds everything works correctly on your laptop computer and the operating system recognizes the drive correctly. But only the Nero application makes some problems.
    Well, it's not easy to say why Nero does not recognize the drive.
    I recommend you to check the Nero Web site.
    You will find many info and tools for additional help.
    For example the infoTool can locate the fault.
    You can also try to use the Nero driver - CleanTool.exe and RegistryChecker.exe

    However, it is a 3rd party apps and I think you should ask for help using Nero.

  • XPS430-SATA2-4 does not recognize drives

    I am installing an SSD in my 5 years, with the latest version of the BIOS A01 and Windows7 32-bit XPS430.  SATA HDD / SDD and DVD are recognized by the BIOS, if I put them in the SATA ports 0 or 1.

    DDI or DVD are recognized if I put them in the 2-4 SATA ports.  SATA is set to "RAID ON" if I select the alternative "RAID Autodetect / ATA ' there is no difference to be able to see a 4 SATA2 devices.  I tried to force the device plugged into SATA port on IT, but at the start, what the BIOS reports an error that the device does not exist.

    I tried swapping cables and leads PSU so believe I eliminated errors here.  Philip Yip has been useful (see the thread), but without success.  My only thought would now connect the internal DVD to port eSATA via an appropriate adaptation set.

    Can anyone in this community about me other suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    OK, this is not the procedure. You must locate the RTCRST_PSWD jumper on the motherboard. It should be on pins 3 and 4. Move to jump pins 1 and 2 for five seconds, then bring it back.

    And, Yes, this will cause the system to lose all the BIOS settings. Then I suggest that you write.

  • First project does not recognize drive

    It is a crazy problem. I am trying to open a first project I've been working a few days ago. I have not changed anything about the location of the media files. From the opening, see the media files dialog box opens indicating that this area is offline. I click on search. The drive that contains the media files does not appear in the dialog box locate even if it is mounted and displays it on the desktop. Other projects who have media on the same drive are fine and grateful for this player. I have all backup media. But I'd rather avoid relinking routine.

    Hi Geoff, there.

    Sorry for your frustration with the OWC RAID. I talked to the kind people at OWC for NAB and they have found a solution to this problem which is really weird, but apparently works.

    1. Select the OWC drive on your desktop.
    2. Press CMD + I to get the information for the reader.
    3. Click the icon of OWC for the reader.
    4. Press Delete, the icon disappears.
    5. Restart Premiere Pro.
    6. The OWC RAID appears in media browser.
    7. Reconnect your film now that the RAID is mounted in Premiere Pro.

    I hope this helps. Please file a bug here.

    Thanks to the staff at OWC to share this info with me.

    It really pay to NAB Show sometimes!

    Thank you

  • Setup does not recognize driver not

    Howdy, well, I'm getting more and more desperate. I'm reinstalling XPPro on my xw8000. As you know, you need to press F6, wait a little and then you will be prompted to load the SCSI drivers, downloaded from HP, put it on a floppy disk. Then I get "txtsetup.oem be found." I used numorous diskettes and re-uploaded the driver many times. I did this same procedure that precedes a happy successfully, so I don't understand what's not this time. Does anyone know?

    Of after this post, format the disk in the computer you plan to use and then redo the floppy and try it.  Who would have thought it?

  • Want to reinstall XP but the computer does not recognize the cd drive and does not allow for any installation.

    Accidentally deleted some system files and now the computer won't allow me to install anything. Tried to install a new cd player to replace a corrupt, but it does not recognize drive. All the driver and OS install CD. Help.

    Fix missing files:

    Try to run the checker system (CFS) files.  Press start, select run, type: SFC/scannow

    SFC will ask your installation disc (which you must have if you are going to re - install), put it in the drive when requested.  Leave the SFC to replace all missing or corrupt files.

    To resolve the startup problem:

    Check your BIOS Setup and make sure the optical drive is enabled and listed before the hard drive in the boot order.  When you start, there will be a message, "type any key to boot from the CD-ROM."  Type any key (execpt shift, shift caps lock, NumLock, etc) will cause the CD to be initialized in the installation program.  (I use the space bar, it's an easy target.)

    In addition, it would be useful to know a few more things: 1) what edition and service pack level of Windows XP you are running?  (2) what is the model and manufacturer of the optical drive, please?

  • Tecra R850-11U does not recognize memory full

    My Tecra R850-11U has 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) memory inside. I am under W7 Professional 64-bit, and the machine shows that 4 GB of memory.

    I've updated the bios, but the bios display also 4GB. I have 2 banks of original samsung memory still a change to a Bank of kingston, but it displays no more than 4 GB.

    How can I solve this problem? I like the full memory

    The chipset supports 8 GB of RAM, so you should be able to use the 8GB.
    But if the BIOS does not recognize the 8 GB of RAM then one of the modules might be faulty or not compatible with another module.

    It is just as well as a plausible explanation for me

  • Tecra 8200 does not recognize the RAM in Slot B

    Since a few days my Tecra does not recognize the RAM Module in Slot B. Before everything was fine. I have 2x256MB Modules. I was wondering why my Tecra becomes slower, the last days, and then I saw that I have now only 256 MB of RAM. I have change the slot Modules A to B. I checked also the two modules of RAM with MEMCheck. Both are ok! Just at the moment where I put a RAM for Slot B and none in slot A my Tecra won't start! If I insert the two module my Tecra boots but with just 256 MB of RAM.

    Is there another solution then buying a new laptop? Is my Mainbord damaged?

    I was so contently with my Tecra ;-) so far

    The slot B is probably defective. Only solution for me is to buy compatible 512 MB module and use it in A slot. According to specification for laptop, your device can handle with max 512 MB of RAM.

    Hi - my Tecra M5-103 does not recognize my 4 GB SD card, could someone tell me if this size chart is supported in this machine please?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I didn't find any official information on SD compatible card sizes for this laptop but I think that card 1 GB and 2GB SD could run without any problem.

    The 4 GB SD card is definitely not supported.

    If you want to use these huge sizes of SD card, you could buy an external drive of All in.
    These devices are not expensive and you can connect and use via the USB interface.

  • Tecra M1 does not recognize the DVD drive after replacement

    I am trying to install a new drive CD-RW/DVD-RW on a Tecra M1; However, when the computer does not recognize the drive.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Thank you

    Colin

    For me it s case.
    I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new player properly because of the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings
    Readers slim for computers laptops support setting master/slave/c-salt settings and these settings can only be changed by changing the rider as on desktop drives.
    So it is very important that you purchase a compatible player and supported because disks with incorrect settings will not work.

    Before buying a car, you should ask the service provider to Toshiba for a caught player supported and compatible

    No idea how to get the card to work with this card reader?

    I have an idea.
    I think that the SDHC 4 GB card is not recognized because a Microsoft patch is not installed on your XP operating system.
