Sat Pro 490xcdt & CDRW/DVD combo SD-2212 compatible?

Hi, I am hoping someone will be able to tell me whether a Toshiba CDRW/DVD combo drive [model# SD-2212] is compatible with a Toshiba Satellite Pro 490XCDT laptop?
I have searched the web and toshiba's site for compatibility info but have not found any stating one way or the other.
Thanks for any help or suugestions.

Hello
Well, I dont know if this drive is compatible with this unit but I have found other drives which are supported:
Part numbers: P000242100, P00025200, XM-1602B, ZA2000P04
Please check this page where I found this info

  • Satellite 1800-712 - CDRW/DVD Combo IDE#1 error

    original SR-R2102 stopped reading discs, bought a new SD-R2102 on Ebay but the laptop won't recognise the drive. Shows IDE#1 error on bootup and drive does not show in hardware in Device Manager (the old faulty drive shows). The new drive has a Compaq sticker on it. Been reading other posts on forum, seems the drive is not compatible even though it appears to be an identical replacement. Any way of getting it to work? Hoping someone can help.

    Hi
    Every CD or DVD drive can not work properly with every notebook model. It is the same drive model but it was used by another notebook producer. Normally it should be adjusted to be slave. Maybe is there some difference.
    In my opinion you can try to make BIOS update. If the error occurs again than is drive not compatible and you can contact Service partner and ask them for some opinion.

  • CD or DVD drives for a sat pro 6000

    any one know if i can put a Model number SD-C2302 dvd player in to a sat pro 6000 lab top or no of any that i can put in please?

    Hi Adrian,
    You are mostly correct in your statement about CD/DVD drives for your notebook. However, it is important that you only buy drives with dimensions similar to your current model.
    Generally CD/DVD drives come in two varieties, those destined for tower type installation and those destined for notebooks. The latter are usually designated as 'slim' or 'slimfit'.
    To install the new drive you usually need to unscrew and remove any fitting brackets used to anchor your drive to your notebook together with any plastic trim components. These will then need to be attached to your new drive.
    Toshiba notebooks use various drives (Toshiba, TEAC, Mat****a, etc.) so you will generally have a reasonably wide variety to choose from.
    Finally, you may need to download drivers for your new drive if none are provided or if your purchase an OEM version. These can be obtained from the drive manufacturers web-site.

  • Sat Pro 6000 - DVD decoder needed

    I have owned my faithful Sat Pro 6000 for nearly 6 years. I have had to use the recovery discs and reformat back to factory settings. Now I am unable to play DVD??s, I am asked for the decoder.
    Why is this requesting being made now? Can this be downloaded?

    In my knowledge the DVD software cannot be downloaded.
    On the Toshiba recovery CD you will find an image which contains all preinstalled tools on the notebook!
    Many Toshiba notebooks were delivered with the WinDVD software and this program can be used for DVD movie watching.
    If you ask ONLY for the DVD decoder plug-in for Windows media player so you will have to download it from the Microsoft site.
    Search simply in the net!

  • Does CDRW/DVD from Satellite Pro 4600 fitting a 4300 series?

    Does anyone know if the CDRW/DVD ROM drives that were fitted to some Satellite Pro 4600 notebooks will fit and can be made to work in the Satellite Pro 4300 series notebooks? Please don't reply by saying contact my local service partner!

    Hi
    I am not 100% sure but I believe that it should work but if nobody gives you a precise answer try to ask service partner in your country. Unfortunately there is no public document about hardware upgrade.

  • Sat Pro L10 DVD Super Multi Drive

    I have a new Satellite Pro L10 with DVD Super Multi Drive running XP Pro. I have not been able to write to the DVD drive - either it does not recognise the DVD in the drive or it blue screens and crashes when I am using the Windows Back-up facility before I can read the error message. I am now getting very nervous as I have not been able to back it up for the 6 weeks I have had it....
    I can play pre-recorded DVDs (i.e. movies) in the drive and it can read Cds and some makes of DVD. The manual is singularly unhelpful on how to use/troubleshoot the Super Multi drive

    HI Christine,
    Unfortunately not. The Toshiba specification for the L10 simply states that Sonic RecordNow and WinDVD Creator are supplied as bundled software.
    The only options are :-
    1. The software is pre-installed on the hard drive,
    2. The software is provided on the Toshiba tools & Utilities CD
    3. The software is provided on OEM CDs.
    Toshiba use a combination of the above three methods depending upon which model of notebook is purchased. On some models item #2 is not supplied but has to be created by the purchaser.
    When I bought my A30 it used a combination of #2 and #3 for the bundled software, with Drag'N'drop CD being supplied on the tools and utilities CD but with Microsoft Works and Onenote supplied on OEM CDs. Everything else was pre-installed oin the HD.
    It seems strange that you have neither Sonic or Windvd Creator on you system.
    It may be worth checking with the people where you purchased your notebook to ensure that they supplied all the necessary bits and pieces.
    Sorry I can't be any more helpful but it is very unlikely that both products have been accidently deleted from the system, so the real issue is to locate the original source for them.

  • I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

    my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
    My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
        DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
        DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc  AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
    My friend's macbook pro 13
        DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
        DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
    Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
    i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
    thank you

    Simple answer is no.
    Slightly more complicated answer;
    You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
    You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
    You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
    As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.

  • Video capture with Sat Pro M70: What ports and leads can I use?

    I want to edit my home movies on my Sat Pro M70 using WXP Pro (win dvd or movie maker). I want to capture the video from my panasonic camcorder which has digital tapes. what ports can I use and what leads do I need? I am desperate to edit my recent wedding video to put onto DVD and post to my mum. The panasonic website has been ignoring me! Any advice anyone ??

    Well, as far as I know this unit has only an S-video out port. In this case you can connect the notebook to the TV and watch the picture from notebook on TV but its not possible to receive any signals from TV or any other device on notebook.
    To receive the signals you need a composite port or an s-video in port.
    However, if the camcorder has a firewire port so you can send the digital files thru the firewire connection. But this should only works with digital files which are saved on the camcorder.

  • Satellite Pro A30: CD/DVD drive not working - How to restore OS?

    I want to run the recovery discs to restore my laptop to original condition but the cd/dvd rom is not working.
    Does any one have an idea how I can do this either by connecting my laptop to another pc or is there a programme on the web I can access to do this for me.
    Bacically even after running CCleaner and other programmes the laptop is still running slow and struggling.

    Hi mate
    Im not quite sure if the old Sat Pro A30 is able to boot from USB drive. In such case you could try to install the OS from USB flash stick.

  • CDRW/DVD UDMA Issue with KT4VL

    Hey folks,
    Before I got my Kt4VL I had a MS6380 KT266 Pro board, which allowed me to utilize UDMA with my Secondary Channel CD Drives (CDRW & DVD).  I used to be able to backup CD to CD in about 2-3 minutes.  Now that it is only PIO, I'm up to 9.  This doesn't seem right.  Anyone got an answer?

  • Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - Update?

    I have an A10 and some few remains of an A15 which I cannibalised for spares.
    The A10 only has DVD read, whilst the A15 had DVD read-write functionality.
    Frustratingly the A10 BIOS doesn't seem to recognised the A15 CD/DVD drive.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to get this recognised - could I swap BIOS chips with the one from the A15 for instance?
    This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4M 2.4 GHz and 1GB of ram (frustratingly it won't accept 1GB sticks!!!).
    It was a freebie so if I break it, well I'll be sad - but not heart-broken...

    Hi
    You can use only the BIOS which is released for the Sat Pro A10 series and which is available on Toshiba page.
    But why you dont use a CD/DVD drive which is compatible with Sat Pro A10 model?
    The user manual provides details about the compatible devices.
    I found the user manual [here|http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]
    On the page 4-7 you would find info about the ODD devices supported by Pro A10
    - TEAC CD ROM drive CD-224E
    - TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive DW-224E
    - Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-C2612
    - Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM dive SD-R2412
    - DVD-R/-RW drive SD-R6012
    - Hitachi DVD-ROM drive GDR-8082
    - Panasonic CD/RW/DVD-ROM drive UJDA-740/750
    Hope the list could be helpful.

  • Firmware for GCC 4240N CDRW/DVD Drive

    I tried both the CD image version and the diskette version of the firmware update and neither will update my drive to version 0214.
    The update facility recognizes my drive as HL-DT-ST CDRW/DVD Drive GCC-4240 Firmware Version 0111, but tells me that no update is necessary.
    Anyone else experience this problem? 

    You're not limited to the exact optical drive that came in it.
    I do not know whether there are incompatibilities with some drives, but I do know that some facilities were upgrading them with drives that would also burn DVDs (not recommended by me, due to the limitations of the slower G3 processors).
    For one that is sure to work, check these links:

    http://www.ifixit.com/iBook-Parts/iBook-G3-12-Inch-Combo-Drive/IF150-031
    For one that's cheaper, you could try Googling the model numbers listed on that second link.

  • Sat Pro M10 will not boot up anymore

    My Sat Pro M10 worked fine until yesterday. I removed the harddrive just to check Part number (as i need to install a larger drive and want to make sure I got it right)and then re-inserted it. Now it boots up as far as the XP Pro loading screen (black background) which disappears and then the screen goes blank. This is what normally happens during boot-up, except that there would be a cursor over the blank background for a few seconds until my desktop appears. Also, when it has stopped at this blank screen the harddrive light on the front of the laptop flashes regularly every few seconds. I desperately need some of the data on the hard-drive (and no, it is not all backed up) so I do not want to use the recovery CD which is just a ghost image (isn't it). The drive is formatted as NTFS. I mention this because when I tried to use the recovery disc to check disc integrity it gave an error message that said the NTFS logfile is not loaded. It will not respond to any of the F8 safemode-type options. I think I have messed up the booting up process somehow by removing the drive rather than physically breaking anything. it seems it can read the boot partition but no further. Can anyone suggest how to fix this, or worst comes to worst a way of retrieving the data from the disc?
    Thanks and appreciation in advance,
    Chris

    Hi Chris
    If the system runs stabile you can remove HDD so many times you want and it should have no any influence on anything. I have removed HDD from my Tecra very often and it still works well.
    Back to your issue: if there is any possibility try to connect your HDD as external device to other notebook or desktop to see if you can see it and even back up all your important data.
    All Toshiba notebooks, I suppose, since two years have NTFS and that is nothing unusual.
