CD/DVD driver for Satellite A100-785

Hi. We bought 10 laptops for our school. Those pc's come with windows vista home basic version. We need to install windows xp sp2 on them, but the problem is that we don't have the drivers. The recovery cd theat comes with those pc's was windows vista recovery CD. We tried to download the drivers from the Net and they were fine except cd/dvd driver. With windows vista we wre able to drag and drop files on rewritable cd or dvd and it was working fine. After installing windows xp on them, we can't use cd/dvd as writer the system consider it as normal CD where actually it is cd/dvd ReWritable. we can read from cd/dvd bur we can't write. I didn't install any other software like nero ... etc. The model of all those pc's are the same :
Toshiba satellite A100-785
Model Number : PSAANE-02M012AR

Hi,
usually if you have a XP machine and a burner installed then this procedure should give you the ability to burn:

If you really cannot burn CDs maybe the service is deactivated and must be re-activated:

I read in the last rows of that article something about, that you have to check a box to turn that ability on.

  • Unrecognized drivers and non-English utilities for Satellite A100-785

    I have got Satellite A100-785 PASAANE Since I am using win2003 with SP2 and all its updates, I have downloaded all drivers for windows XP; because its drivers are compatible with 2003.
    But I have experienced this problem (please see pic below ):

    Thanks Dennis, this link that you have posted, I had tried that before I posted my thread in the forum,,,,,,,the link was not helpful. What I did to get English version I used intel web site to download english version.
    It seems to me when Toshiba manufactures specific version (model) of Laptops for middle east region, some drivers are in arabic, you can not get English version from Toshiba site, because that model of laptop only for middle east region.
    Same thing happened with my printer 1201 from another manufacturer(I forgot exact model number), the driver on the CD is in arabic, there is no english version on the CD, as far as I remembered I tried manufacturers website for English version I could not find it.
    One more thing I want to add , now I am in Australia-Sydney, I could not find same my laptop's model here in the market;that means the laptop that I bought it from middle east , was manfuctured for middle east region only, therfore some drivers are in arabic language.
    This is my 2 cent conculsion.

  • No TEAC cd/dvd driver for Satellite A105 2101 not available???

    I have looked everywhere for a driver to replace my Missing or Corrupted (code 39) TEAC DW-22-224E-C driver for my Satellite A105 series!  I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, and I have the latest update.  It is still not working - i get a code 39.  I can put a cd in my internal drive, hear it spin, see the yellow light go on, then the light goes off and it stops spinning.  Any suggestions????   If I take it down to a total recovery and it still doesn't fix the driver, I lose all my software application that I have installed - if it deletes it - because I won't be able to use the cd/dvd drive to reinstall anything.  I NEED HELP PLEASE!  Thank you for anything you can do to get me out of this jam!

  • Need Win XP driver for Satellite A100-025 (PSAARE)

    I have a toshiba satellite a100-025 (psaare) with windows vista.
    I want to download drivers for windows xp because I have a licensed version of software with sp2:
    I don't linke vista 'cause it uses too many resources of the core and too many sectors of the memory.
    So I want drivers for xp but I can't download 'em, because I can't find my notebook model in the download page of the site.
    My question is: How can I have drivers for XP?

    Youre right Antonio Luigi
    At this time your notebook is not listed in the Windows XP driver form :(
    But dont worry and be cool B-)
    It seems that Toshiba updates the drivers and released the new version every day.
    I think in the next time you should be able to download the XP drivers for your notebook.
    But if you want you can test the drivers from another Satellite A100 or Equium A100 series.
    I think these notebooks are very similar and possibly the single drivers will run
    By the way; its very funny because many people want to update the XP to Vista and not to DOWNgrade the Vista to XP.
    However ;)

    2. is there another way to find out if omega is gone? ccleaner did not detect it ... or it was allready gone.

  • Need new ATI Radeon 1400 display driver for Satellite A100-788 PSAA9E

    Hello ,
    I search for New drivers for my ATI radeon mobility 1400 because in toshiba.com the last date drivers is 13/09/07.
    Thx.

    Hi
    This seems to be a Toshiba European notebook series and therefore you should search on the Toshiba European driver page.
    The newest ATI driver on the European driver page is a version 8.31.100.3.2 fro Vista and v 8.292-038742C for Win XP
    Unfortunately newer driver is not available

  • Satellite A100-785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive issue

    Hello Friends,
    I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:
    1.87 Ghz C2D, 1 Gb Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...
    Issue: Its been quite long, i m facing a certain problem with my Optical Drive. When ever I insert an CD which is originally produced by any company it works fine. The moment I insert any CD which is personally burned with some data from any normal CD/ DVD writer or the CDs which were previously created by the same laptop mentioned above, its been read as a blank disc. The data of the disk is not shown.
    For eg: Lets say if I insert any software cd like my webcam's cd or my printer's cd they can be read normally and work fine. But the moment I enter any cd which is been burned by me which contains my personal files, that is been read as a blank disc.
    This issue does not exists with any of the DVDs. Doesn't matter which every dvd I insert either being a normal software dvd or being the one which is burned as a personal data dvd, everything works fine and all the data in dvd can be read.
    I have tried reinstalling the driver, I have tried reformatting my laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD provided with the laptop, but the issue still exists.
    In between few months ago, I tried doing some tweak, like first i insert the cd in the drive and then disable the cd drive and then enabling it again would actually read the cd. But after few tries, this also stopped working.
    Now I really have no idea what should I do to make my CDs work normally.
    I hope this post can help me out.
    Your help will be appreciated
    Thanks for your precious time
    Regards
    Jeetendra

    For me it sounds like a DVD, where the data has been burned, were not fully compatible.
    I meet such issue on different computers. A friend of mine has had the similar problem with an non Toshiba notebook. Its matter of the disks which are used for burning.
    I tested several brands and now Im using TDK and Verbatim because my CD/DVD drive supports these kind of disk properly.
    Of course it could be an hardware issue too but in such case you will need to replace the CD/DVD drive

  • Is this BIOS correct for Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U?

    The question is, if this BIOS file is correct for update in my notebook?

    I have download the file of Toshiba USA website, because my model doesn't exist in the Toshibas supports sites, but exist similar models (example: Satellite A105-S2194 - USA model - ).
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hi Jon
    According the notebook description you must be from Venezuela. Am I right? ;)
    I really do not know if there is Toshiba some support page for South America but few guys from there have had the same problem like you. I can not say for sure if you can use BIOS update from US support site. I recommend you to call Authorized service partner in your country. They work with this stuff and I am 100% sure they will be able to give you right info.

  • Recommend a good external DVD drive for Mac?

    can anyone recommend a good external rewritable DVD drive for my EMac? i want something that will work with iDVD of course... thanks in advance.

    LaCie is one. The Macally 500BC Firewire/USB 2.0 enclosure with a separate Pioneer S-Drive is another viable option.
    I personally use multiple ADS Tech 1394 Pyro FW Enclosures with a Pioneer 110D S-Drive as well as a few ext. FW HD's and they all work well on mult. G4 systems (completely interchangeable via FW 400).
    This link may help you to build your own S-Drive if you wish:

  • I want a 2nd DVD drive for my iMac

    Hi
    Have a new 24" Alloy iMac and well, having moved my main computer from a PC to a MAC is great, iLove it! Problem though is there are lots of times where I could utilize a 2nd CD/DVD drive. Apparently the external drive for the MacBook Air is exclusive to that (which doesn't make any sense to me - Apple would sell a ton of these if they made them non-specific rather than to only a small % of sales). So I've been poking around here on the forums and I've seen some referenced to MacSales.com site - but with such a beautiful machine as an iMac, I can't bring myself to getting one of these butt ugly things. Found a handsome LG CD/DVD with Lightscribe external drive, but no evidence of Mac support.
    Where can I get, or how can I get an external DVD drive for my Mac? I'd rather avoid patching if possible.
    Better still: Apple - update the MacAir drive to be universal for your machines please!
    Thanks!

    OWC (macsales.com) would be a good source, since they are very Mac-centric and should know what works well and what does not work well with Macs and Mac OS X.
    They may be boxy and "ugly" but those full-sized tray-loading drives are the most reliable type. Plus with a tray-loader, you can read the strangely shaped and mini- discs that would choke a slot-loader.
    If you want more style, LaCie is also Mac-oriented and they have some choices.

  • 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.
