Cannot install modem on SATELLITE M30-604

I can't see my modem in the Device Manager. I can't see a com-port in the device manager.
When I choose controlpanel>phone and modem options I see no modem.
I choose the Add-button. My modem is not detected. Then I have the option to install it from a list.
I choose Have disk.
I choose the Browse-button and
I select the Tools&Utilities CD ROM that came with my notebook (or the downloaded files from Toshiba).
I select the (D:\Modem Driver\NETHERLD)ltsmwxp.inf file on the CD.
Still NO models appear in the Install new modew window.
How can I install my modem?

Thanx Pelox.
I' am sorry but I don't understand what you mean. The notebook came with Win XP and I ungraded it to Win XP Pro.
> In the first case the modem should be detected when

The modem worked fine with Win XP Pro. I do not know when it stopped working because ad home I have a T1-connection. I use the modem only on the road.
> Secondly you should try to install at first the modem
> driver from the Tools&Utilities CD secondly you

> Downloads
I did. But when I try to "Add new hardware" no models/drivers can be found when I select either .inf-file. (And I know how that should look like!).
> In the end, when no suggestion solved the problem,

Sorry but this does not feel like solving a problem :-))
At one point, after a restart, the modem seemed to install (what a wonder) automatically. After the next restart it had disappeared :-((
When I read the log, I find:
Opening the modem device failed with error 000005aa.
Another question:
When looking at Toshiba-download-site I can choose some modelno. for my notebook. I have a Satellite M30-604 with an upgrade from Win XP to Win XP Pro. What modelno. does that make? Is it a sm30x?

Satellite M30-604 - Hard disk mechanical failure

My satellite M30-604 is within warranty (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hdd crashed out of the blue. The crash is probably mechanical so I can not use data recovery software (it makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD to some specialist who will open it in a "clean room" for something like 300 - 600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:
-> Toshiba says that if I do that the warranty is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (+ 100 euros)
-> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba gets the old disk and I lose my data forever!!!
WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!!!
a) this is my data, my work and you CAN NOT blackmail me with this "warranty void" stuff. I want my old crashed disk back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10-hours-a-day work is IN there!
b) Moreover even if the heads of the disk crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are still in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How can toshiba (or any other company for that matter) ask me to hand it over to them?
What should I do?
What would you do?

Hi there,
I sympathise with your problem and can only suggest the following thoughts :
1. Recovery of your data would seem the most important factor here. I would suggest removing the HDD yourself so that it can be sent to a specialist to recover what data is possible.
2. Since removal of the HDD does not usually involve extensive dismantling of the notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HDD itself).
3. A replacement HDD can usually be obtained quite cheaply from one of the internet sellers (check using GOOGLE for a suitable replacement). you can then re-install your operating system from the recovery CDs.
4. I would suggest investing in a suitable backup software package (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I have had four replacement HDDs on my Satellite A30 in the last 12 months).

Satellite M30-604 only seeing 128GB HDD capacity from a 320GB HDD

I have a M30-604 with XP-SP2 and bios version 1.7
I've installed a new internal 2.5" 320gb hard disk - but XP disk manager only sees 128gb total capacity. There's not even any unallocated space.
Is the phoenix bios 48bit LBA compatible?

Hi!
During the old IDE interface its only possible to use 128GB disk space and so you dont see the full capacity of 320GB.
BIOS update cant solve this problem because its hardware related and so you have to live with this issue.
Alternative you bring the 320GB HDD back and buy another one, e. g. 120GB.

Satellite M30-604 freezes and fan doesn't work after replacement

Satellite SM30-604. Laptop left on carpet overnight and overheated! Fan doesn't spin and laptop only occasionally starts up. Thinking the fan was fault I replaced the fan but even this new fan doesn't spin. The heatsink is totally clean - no dust inside the vanes at all. The laptop is only 2 years old.
Using forced-cooling (by sticking a vacuum nozzle at the cooling fan outlet!) the laptop occasionally starts up like normal right up to the Desktop screen with all usual icons and no error messages. But then it goes no further - the screen, keyboard and mouse freeze.
Most of the time it doesn't start up at all. When it doesn't start, the blue LED comes on but there's no hard-disk activity or LCD screen at all - even the wifi LED doesn't even come on.
Really grateful if anyone know's what's going on. Not sure if it's the main CPU that's faulty?
Thanks in advance.
Charlie

Hello Charlie
Like you know on this way it is not easy to give any precise diagnostic but according to your posting I presume that there is some complex problem and unit should be checked properly. I also think that there must be some problem with electronic.
It is really possible that mainboard must be replaced but, as I already said, it is no possible to say anything precise about your problem. Try to contact Asp and you will see what they will say.

Cannot install windows on Satellite Pro A40

Hi I have read through all the posts and cant seem to find an answer.
My problems is this ..
I have tried to install windows from a Full version and when I choose to install windows in a partition it fails. If I try to delete the partition it fails. If I use the recovery disks - Option 1 fails before it fully loads - looks like Gdisk? error and then goes in ghost. Option 2 Loads but when I go to install fails again.
I cannot find an option in the bios to prevent accessing the disk - like a boot virus protection. the lock key under the keyboard I have tried in both positions.
I have removed the battery to see if it is a power problem !
Tried using the recovery options in win xp - but cannot access the drive
The really strange thing is during the recovery disks option 2 - the drive size is bigger than the actual size by approx 1/3 ?
The system originally went down whilst connected to the internet - the only option I can thing of is a surge came down the line and damaged either the motherboard or the hardrive. As it has happened to a Desktop system - Blew 3 modems and an ups before we located the problem.
HELP!!

Hi,
did you already tried to check and format the drive with an external tool? I give you a suggestion: try the "ultimate boot cd" which has many tools also some tools for maintaining harddrives.
You can get the image here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
Just burn it to a CD, boot it and choose the tool for your harddisk to check it and to repartition it.
Hope it helps...

Cannot install WinXP on Satellite Pro A200 - No HDD

Hi,
Please can someone help me. I've just brought 52 Satellite Pro A200 laptops. They come with Vista pre-installed, but I want to wipe them and install Windows XP. However I have a big problem - when I put my XP CD in and boot from it and click Enter to continue, it tells me that the Installation cannot continue as Windows found no hard drives (although I can boot in Vista so I know the HDD are ok).
Thanks for looking,
Matt Courtman

I too had the HDD problem. Its because there are no drivers on the XP CD for SATA hard drives. What you have to do is use some free software called NLite and merge the SATA drivers with the files off the XP CD. (It really is ace). Available at
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml
Read this page it tells you exactly how to do it.(
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml). If I can manage it then anyone can. Using the NLite software you copy the contents of your XP CD to your hard drive. Then you download the SATA drivers (available from the tosh site), then you integrate the drivers with your XP CD files. Finally you create an ISO image and burn it to CD. When you then boot off your new CD and install XP, it detects the SATA drive. Hey Presto!!!

Cannot install WXP on Satellite Pro A300

Hey guys,
I was hoping I could find some help on these forums. I hope I have posted this in the right place.
A while ago, Windows Vista went crazy on one of my laptops, and I wanted to install XP. (No, you cannot laugh at me). I have the XP Pro SP3 disc.
Although, even the recovery agent that Toshiba has on all of its laptops/computers could not fix these issues I had. I put the XP Pro Sp3 disc into the MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ880AS drive, hoping to use the formating tool on that so it would let me install XP as Microsoft/Windows made it impossible to revert. Anyway, the formatting went all well, and then the installation just came up with billions of errors.
I currently have a Ubuntu Live CD running on it, to make it actually DO something, and its working fine. But i really badly want XP on it.
I think the issue could be BAD SECTORS on the HDD.
I need help, and input.
Do I buy a new HDD and hope the install works? Do I buy a whole new laptop?
Your help is appreciated like you wouldnt believe. This has been driving me nuts for ages.
Brock

Hello.
1) Check if your compact disc has no scratches.
2) Make sure that the lens of the DVD drive is clean (dust free). If not perform a cleaning operation by using cotton wool stick and alcohol (make it very accurate and avoid making any micro scratches).
3) Backup all your data from all partitions. Then start a clean installation of Windows XP. In the setup remove all your existing partitions (make sure that after that you have ONLY unpartitioned space) then create new partitions of preferred size. Format those partitions in NTFS (Quick) mode. Finally, install the system onto partition C.
That's it.
Good Luck to You, and keep posting your progress.
Regards,
Osman.

Cannot install modem drivers on E71

hi!
PHONE: E71, OS: Vista
PC SUITE installs and connects the phone perfectly through cable and through bluetooth
PROBLEM:
I am trying to connect to the internet through the modem of my E71, but its not working.
I think that the modem drivers are not there or are broken, because when I connect the phone to the laptop (dell), BOTH through usb cable or bluetooth, Vista sees a modem and starts searching for drivers for it, and then fails: (the parameter is incorrect).
I read that these drivers come with nokia pc suite, so I tried with different versions, but same result - paremeter is incorrect. Tried installing the drivers manually from the nokia support site - Vista does not see the drivers in the folder i put them.
Can anyone tell me how to install the drivers properly so I can link to internet? re-installing PC Suite and installing drivers manually does NOT work!
I used 7 nokias for the last 9 years, but this is the first one I want to break in someone's head up there in Finland
suggestions? thanks!

Is your Vista 64-bit? I think there's no Vista x64 driver for E71 modem yet.

Replacement hard disk for Satellite M30-604

Having problems with my hard disk and want to change it. Believe original was a IC25N060ATMR04-0 which appears to be a Hitachi 4200rpm 60Gb UDMA drive with an 8 Meg buffer. Can I replace it with a larger, faster drive? If so what spec must I have? Grateful for any ideas!

Hi,
So, you just have to make sure that you install a IDE drive and not a SATA. The rest is obsolete since you dont have to take care for any specs like speed or cache. Just grab the biggest drive you can get and install it.
Thats all. In case of any questions just let your thougts flow into that forum here ;)

Distorted sound on M30-604

Hi,
I have got a problem with the sound on my Satellite M30-604. If for instant I play a cd or an mp3 (doesnt matter with what program), the sound is distorted. It sounds a bit like back in the old days when my taperecorder got jammed. After a while the sound disappears completely and I get bad sound driver errors. When I restart the notebook, the sound again works fine for a while, but then the problem repeats itself. This temporary regeneration only happens when I restart and does happen when I put the notebook in sleeping mode or standby mode for a while. The sounddriver in my notebook is the SigmaTel C-Major Audio version 6.14.1.3835, it should be the latest version. Can anybody help me with this problem? At the moment I am not even shure whether it is a hardware or a software problem. Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve
I hope that there is some solution that will help you. Did you already try to make BIOS update? It will be interesting to know what you mean exactly under distorted sound. A friend of mine had a similar problem and the cause for that was modem. Sounds stupid but everything is possible.
Like I said if the sound is slowed it can be some hardware mailfunction.

Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 from SCCM 2012 R2 environment

Dear all,
Sattelite Z series laptops cannot install OS (win 8.1) from our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
Either no installation is starting, or pxe boot aborted error is showed.
The environment is used to successfully install OS (win 8.1) on different other vendor computers (dell) and virtual machines (hyper-v and vmware).
I've tried both UEFI and CMS boot options and tried to switch off the secure boot. Please advice.
Also, i've read about the "SCCM installation package for Toshiba". Will it help in my situation or is it just driver packages for SCCM?
Best Regards, Evgeny.

I guess you are speaking about this Toshiba package:
http://www.toshiba.eu/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/
I dont have much experience using such SCCM drive package but it definitely compatible with the Toshiba business notebooks. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the business range and I think the package should be compatible.
This package seems to be for all IT administrators who manage devices on the corporate network with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new Toshiba SCCM package a solution to integrate other notebook into an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all Toshiba Driver and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.
However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]
By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in case the UEFI BIOS is available). But booting from another, external source requires the disabled secure boot option.
So maybe you should use the UEFI mode but should disable the secure boot option in order to boot from LAN.

Cannot install Windows 7 on Satellite L550

I have a notebook Toshiba Satellite L550-13C.
I had problems with my laptop i couldn't start it i managed to boot my pc to windows xp with no drivers.
I have downloaded most of the drivers now I and to go back to windows 7 but it doest recognize the setip file when i click on it it says infalid win32 something like that whatwhat sould do??
And no i cant do it when i boot the pc it makes another problem
So how can i fix this not recognize thing do i need too download a driver or something like that
Need heeeelp :(

Hello
Your posting is pretty confusing and it is not easy to understand you.
I dont understand which setup file you want to use but you cannot install operating system with click on some setup file.
You can install Windows 7 using Toshiba recovery image (if you got one) or using original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc.
So please be nice and explain to me which disc do you have and how do you try to install Windows 7.

I cannot Install Toshiba Power Saver on my Satellite M45-S169 - Code: Ox7E

I cannot Install/reinstall/remove/run Toshiba power saver on my Satellite M45-S169. after I have reinstalled the system (now it is Windows XP Professional SP2). When I tried to open Power saver via control panel I got accessed denied and every time I reboot the system I get the error message:
Toshiba Power Save
A fatal error has occurred. This programme will be terminated.
Code: Ox7E
I cannot neither remove nor reinstall power saver. Can I try to run power saver for Windows XP SP2 applicable for other laptop models? I could not find the one for my model. Which one will fit? Any other solutions/advises to the problem?
Please, help
Thank you a lot, Oksana

Hi
First of all you have to known that this notebook was designed for the US market and all drivers, tools or any other Toshiba utilities should be used from the Toshiba US website.
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
Please ensure that you have already installed Toshiba ACPI Common Modules before you will continue with any further Toshiba software installation.
One important hint; the Toshiba power saver profile must be chosen in the Windows power options!!! Dont forget this!!!

Satellite M30-104 - Cannot set a right resolution on external monitor

Hi everyone,
I've got a Satellite M30-104 with a nvidia GeForce FX5200.
It works well but when I plug a external monitor in, which is a wide screen 1440*900, I can't set the good resolution, even if I install the last driver.
What can I do?
Thanks

Hi
First of all you have to check in your user manual if your graphic card would support such external resolution.
But note; you will be not able to choose this resolution if the graphic driver doesnt contains it, even though this resolution would be supported by graphic card.
As you see two facts are important: graphic driver and graphic card have to support this resolution if you want to use it.
