• Tecra M10 - 11U - DVD + cannot read & disk partitions

  Hi all

  I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
  (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
  (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
  Is it safe to change the E to D drive

  Nirko

  Hello

  1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
  2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

  Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
  * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*

• Recovery media for Tecra M10 - 10I required

  Hi all

  Sorry to post this here, but I hope someone can help me out here because unfortunately, after talking to a member of staff at Toshiba UK, the support I need, they can provide.

  I am a totally blind systems engineer and entrepreneur specialized in the legends of emergency to companies and specialist requirements, as well as installation, commissioning and decommissioning requirements, etc.. Recently, I lost my laptop main, unfortunately, he died because of overheating due to his age, a professional platform adapted to my needs to run the tools of my trade. the jury, burned into the RAM and HARD drive with her, it means I'm out of action,

  However, a friendly contact of my friends helped me with gift of a system of Tecra M10 - 10i who arrived this morning, to be configured, etc.. However, the internal HARD disk was photographed with a default image of their company and not the official recovery / installation OEM. The disk HARD deleted anyway and RAM upgraded to 8 GB to become my replacement. Right now I am borrowing a member of the family system and running an edition of reader pen of my screen reader configuration. so access to emails, notes, etc. only.

  My setup is based on different hardware and software components including chassis magma with PCIE cards, for data and the access control etc.

  What I would do, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells isn't easy to blind, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem. Toshiba tell me that they can not provide recovery media and I have to go to a provider they use on the web and order records, etc.

  This may be against policy here, so I apologize if this is the case, however, anyone here happen to have the recovery media for a system Tecra M10 - 10i, so Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows 7 Pro or similar that can update the system? The reason I ask because it is, it is easier for me to use a recovery image based or automated Ghost for this so I can install my screen, braille display driver reader interface, etc. and be running, rather than panic during the configuration of the audio without braille drivers / audio feedback.

  If you can help, please e-mail me at [email protected]

  Cheers.

  Dear Ed, I'm sorry to hear that it of difficult and impossible for you to order the Toshiba recovery from the Arvato page disk. Unfortunately, I m not Tecra M10 owner and don t have recovery for this unit disc.
  But maybe you could ask a family member or a friend for assistance.

  It (a credit card owner) could place an order for recovery on page Arvato disk and could order the media for you.

• Tecra M10 - CMOS battery is low and powers down and upwards automatically

  Toshiba TECRA M10 - 10W
  Model no PTMB1E-00P003EN

  This laptop was working fine last week and is only about 1 year.

  Now to the power he reports the CMOS battery is weak and penetrates into the configuration screen to set the date and time.

  Once this is done, it shuts down and no more automatically, but everything works the CPU fan to high speed, no attempt to start etc.

  If you press the power button with the fan running, it will be power downwards and upwards (while it is still connected to the power grid) and again to report a problem with the CMOS battery.

  Any ideas on what is wrong and what can be done to fix this?

  Hello

  First the CMOS battery can be charged while you let the connected AC/DC adapter, for example 24 hours a day. After that, the message CMOS battery shouldn't t appears more.
  Check this box!

  The power automatically power cycle on and off can represent a danger due to a hardware malfunction can you start in Windows or in fact that happen before?
  Maybe it s overheating and you need to clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air.

• TECRA 9100 battery problem

  Similar experiences to mine, please?

  After using no not my Tecra for some time (about 3 months). He was once again the charger for more than 24 hours and I'm now done with the original problem, I had the last time I used the Tecra, several months ago! The problem is, I think, only related to the tent to use it on battery, as follows:

  At the start of the machine of 'cold', after passing the request of 'password' screen, it goes straight to a "small blue screen", which includes the message:

  Hardware malfunction

  Call your provider of support material

  NMI: channel check / IOCHK

  The system stopped *.

  A little more information, I found that I can actually 'blue screen' situation - turn off not having don't no need to remove it battery that I first thought - and if I get the power cable then everything starts up well and seems to work normally. If I then remove the power cable (leaving the laundry to run on battery only) the small blue screen and same message reappears.

  Yet once which seems to indicate a battery problem, I guess?

  Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  Hello

  Windows may indicate a fundamental error messages only when material occurrence malfunction, so that the elimination of the errors can be difficult for equipment problems. Most of the problems of material step in connection with the motherboard, the main memory on a motherboard or adapter or the stamp on a motherboard or adapter.

  On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. I don't know how old is the unit, but if the unit is still under warranty I advice you contact service partner chartered. I'm sure they can find what may be the cause of this problem.

  Good bye

• I can't install my license Windows XP on Tecra M10

  For some reason I can't install Windows XP on the new Tecra M10 notebook coming from my company in. I deleted Windows Vista Partitions on the disk hard using Delpart like that he'd let me at least to install Windows XP.

  After that I put our Volumn license CD into the laptop and it begins to boot the CD and to halfway through a blue screen of death comes up saying "a problem has been detected a Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer." This happens whenever I try to install XP from scratch. The laptop came with Windows XP SP3 recovery disks. I put this in and had given laptop to default values with the thought of Windows XP that could solve the problem.

  After having done that, I tried to reinstall XP and the same thing keeps coming back. Please help me.

  Thank you

  Zach

  You try to install the Windows XP SP2 home edition?

  Why do you use a third request for the part when you can use the facilities WXP CD to delete existing partitions?

• Upgrading the BIOS on a Tecra M10 but without MS Windows

  Hello!

  My Tecra M10 runs OpenSolaris. No windows on this machine. Question is how upgraded the BIOS on this subject? The only file that I found to download is a Windows executable file...
  Another way? Such as the creation of a CD or a USB drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Gilles gravel

  And what files you want to save on a CD or USB stick?
  Long since Toshiba doesn't offer traditional BIOS update but only the Win version.
  What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  They have access to the database of Toshiba and I imagine that they can help you with the update of the BIOS.
  You can also exchange of HDD, recovery of installation image, make sure BIOS update and put old HDD with solaris back. Maybe some friend of you HARD drive and you can borrow for this purpose.

• TECRA M10 (models PTM40E/PTM42E) for Windows 7 upgrade

  Hello
  We have two former TECRA M10 (models PTM40E and PTM42E) and you want to update the PC now for Windows7. After the installation of a new (larger) HARD drive, we ran the recovery DVDs. After that recovery completed successfully, we have installed a version of Windows 7 Professional (replacing the recovered Win - XP) and let Windows Update all the drivers on the Internet. After installation is complete, the majority of work and PC applications of material (e.g. display drivers where found and installed, stylus for touch screen works). But touch rotation does not work, the touchpad has also no scroll function).

  We found 47 drivers Toshiba basic support, but not of documentation on how to use them.

  Can we using this forum?

  Thanks in advance...

  Are you sure you have Tecra M10? M4 maybe?

  On the Toshiba download page, I found only Tecra M4 with model number PTM40E and PTM42E.

• Tecra M10 - light screen problems

  Hi guys,.

  at first I m sorry for my English is not perfect.

  That is the problem.

  When I created the brightness on my screen on max, everything is OK.
  But when I put it down to minimum, after awhile the diodes (or bulbs) stop working.

  I think there are 4 LEDs in the screen for two more left to stop work.
  When I created the brightness to max once again, after a while these left diodes begin to work again and everything seems fine.

  I thought that I would like to reinstall the display driver, but when I download and run the Setup.exe it says that my pc does not meet the requirements for the installation of this software and I have no idea why.

  Any idea what should I do?

  Thanks for your advice.

  Lucien

  PS: I have Tecra M10. C2D, Nvidia Quadro NVS 150

  > When I created the brightness to max once again, after a while these left diodes begin to work again and everything seems fine.

  Don t think its problem of diodes generally the FL inverter controls the brightness of the screen.
  The fl inverter is a small part that is placed behind the frame of the screen.

  I would say that this part needs to be replaced, but of course this is only my personal opinion and I recommend you ask a technician for a control before changing anything.

• Some problems with cloning Tecra M10

  Hello

  I created an Image of the Tecra M10 and cloned it with Ghost8.2.

  Then I tried to clone it to other M10 who has worked the most but mashine 2 or 3, I get an error "unable to read from the HARD drive please restart."
  Does anyone have an idea what?

  Greetz

  Hello

  I think the problem is the HARD drive where the image is stored because the GET error Impossible to * reading * from the HARD drive please restart.
  Then you should check the HARD disk where is the image is stored. I looked, and a good program for it's Drive Fitness Test.

  Good luck and post your result.

• Tecra M10 - Sound does not work on Windows XP SP3

  TECRA M10 sound does not work with Win XP SP3

  1. the drivers from the toshiba web site.
  2 chipset drivers and audio drivers were reinstalled no luck,.
  3. no mute FN + Esc
  4. feature eat that all drivers ok

  Hello

  If I understand your right all devices listed correctly in the Device Manager and you don t have yellow exclamation points?

  Normally, for high definition sound cards, you need two patches from Microsoft:
  KB835221 and KB888111.
  Normally, these patches are integrated into SP3 but it works only if you install the audio driver after SP3. So, if you have an older version of XP without SP3, you must update to SP3, all first and then install the display driver.

  So in your case, you must delete the current sound driver and restart the laptop. Then use CCleaner to clean the registry and system files. Reboot the laptop. Then download and install the driver of his newest Realtek Hompage.

  Good bye

• battery problem on sony vaio z3 after update of windows 8

  I had to disable the utilitiy ISB in the Task Manager, because the system wanted to put the computer into hibernation because of a battery problem.  I had the same problem after updating the driver control of battery.  How should I proceed?

  Hi user 975909,

  That is right.

• Blue screen of death, the Tecra M10 runing Win XP

  My Toshiba Tecra M10 works like a dream for three years without ever gasp

  Until the other day.

  My Toshiba laptop is constantly cycling with a BSoD - then I will start windows - it looks like it'll work - it gets in the paper password on screen - then a few blank screens - BSoD then again repeatedly

  I am running XP Pro SP 3

  I couldn't get my laptop to stop doing this, so I removed the battery and then the power cable and it started again and then when he went to BSoD I took a picture of the screen with my digicam fortunately I have one that focuses immediately and take the picture instantly too

  the ERROR is

  BAD_POOL_CALLER

  Tech Info

  STOP 0X000000C2 (0 X 00000043, 0XC38C0000, 0 X 00000000 0 00000000)

  I haven't changed anything on my PC recently and I have tried all the beginning of the top safe mode and last known good configuration but it still cycles round and round and round

  This laptop is not connected to anything and comes standard with a module of memory 2 MB in it to bog

  the last known good configuration does not either, nor did one of the other options in the "safe".

  So I slipped on the HARD drive and tried to boot from my XP CD - not the recovery of Toshiba, one that I have not tried this one in the laptop again.

  Rather unsurprisingly with no HARD drive in the laptop, I got a different error

  STOP 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

  which is I believe the inaccessible boot device - I know, it cannot see the HARD drive because it is sitting on my desk but would wait to boot from the XP CD... ISN'T IT?

  I tried to set all the parameters by default both boot - no difference

  With the HARD drive in - the laptop boots as windows user enter screen with no problems but doesn't stop on this screen - after a few screens blank the BSoD comes up and off it goes again.

  In the advanced startup options, I changed auto-start on setting error so it does not loop forever. and this prevents loop to the start cycle... seems to be changing this setting is not a permanent change

  Then I went into the BIOS and under the mode of the SATA AHCI to IDE controller and the STOP error 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) is gone now and the pc will try to install Windows until I need to see the HARD drive and then gives up trying to install XP with a no. HHD error (the HHD is based of course on my desk) so it was a valid error expected...
  put the HARD return drive without changing the BIOS back makes it appear the STOP 0x000000C2 (0 x 00000043, 0xC38C0000, 0 x 00000000 0x00000000) error

  HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP please

  Hello

  I think you should test the HARD drive don't you agree?
  In my opinion, this should be the first part that should be checked since the new operating system installation was not possible

  I recommend the use of the tool called: HDD Drive Fitness Test. This software creates a bootable floppy to test. You can use this disk to run a test HARD drive without installation of any system.

  If the error would be detected: replace the HARD drive.
  If no error would be: use the Toshiba Recovery disk in order to install the system. (don t forget to put back the BIOS to default)

• Tecra M10 of the fan is always on

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M10 for a few days now, and compared to my previous laptop, I notice a very different behavior of the fan. The fan of my old Pro L10 of Satellite used to turn off unless the system is really hot. It is around 55 to 60 ° C. But now, with my Tecra, the fan starts as soon as the system starts up and never stops. This happens even on a cold start. It seems that the BIOS triggers the fan, as it happened also during the installation of Windows Vista and Windows XP. Certainly, it is not focused on the OS. Even when I have the CPU clock to 798 MHz and set the cooling method to maximize the life of the battery, the fan is running and.

  After watching the temperatures, it turned out that my CPU(-cores) worked at 30 ° C, and my hard drive was running at 35 ° C. The hottest thing was the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 150 M, at 40 ° C. So you mean that the fan is working to cool the GPU. However, as I wrote above, fans don't always run, even if all of the computer is under 20 ° C.
  So I have two questions, and I hope that everyone can answer that for me.
  First of all I would like to know if there are other users of the Tecra A10/M10 who experience the same "problem" as I do. Can he be considered a defect, or is - this normal?

  And second, if it's quite normal, is there a way to turn the fan "always you"-thing off in the BIOS? As I am blind I can't verify this for me, so I would like to know if this is possible, before asking a friend or compared to help me.
  I ask all this because the noise of the fan that bothers me, but simply because I want the best squeesh out of my battery.

  Thanks in advance!

  The fan changes speed? Or it's a constant speed of 100% of the time?

  Try to update the BIOS first. You can download the latest version of the BIOS on Toshiba website in the support/downloads section.

  I don't think there is a setting "always on" in the BIOS.

  If a BIOS update does not help, you must send it to a Service Center authorized to check the functionality of the fan.

• Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

  Hello and thanks for reading.

  I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

  It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

  So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

  Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

  I was watching the following BIOS update:

  http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

  ... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

  However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

  For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

  Thanks much for any help you can give.

  Hello

  > I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

  There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

  The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

  I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
  In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

  Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
  In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

  PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.
