Hi
The unit was delivered only with the Toshiba recovery CD because the Toshiba Assists (on the desktop) contains an option to create the own Toshiba driver and tools CD.
Therefore only one disc was delivered.
By the way. You can create second partition and there you can install a second OS without deleting the available WinXP

Did the iMac 24" come with System disks

Folks - I bought an open box 24" iMac from Best Buy about a year ago. My hard drive has now lost about 60 GB of space while I was doing some Lightroom updating...bringing over a few months of photos.
Running OnyX verification it says I need to repair my internal disk. I can't find the original system disk and I don't remember there being any in the box. I have the box...so I'm wondering if it ever had any disks?
My computer is a 24" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on Version 10.4.11.
If I had a CD/DVD system I'd boot from it and repair the internal disk...I guess after backing up my stuff!
Thanks for the input...Dan
PS - I've used WhatSize to confirm about 60GB are just gone!
Any links to where I can create a minimum system disk with disk utility to run the repair would be great...other than this disappearing hard drive space everything has been running fine.

Not that I am aware of because the system takes up most of a dvd so it would be too large to download and most any third party Utilities cost money so you would have to purchase the software disks anyway.
Likewise, can I copy my existing system disk to an external drive and boot from
that one?
Yes you can do that. Many of us techies keep a bootable backup for this type of situation. You could also purchase yourself a copy of Disk Warrior and use that to Repair your Volume directory because sometimes even when you boot to another drive and run Repair disk it may or may not be able to repair the directory. Disk Warrior does a better job at Repairing Volume damage.

Did Mid-2011 iMac come with install disks?

I bought a new iMac today, and I want to sell the old one. Should I have install disks? I don't remember getting any.
How can I wipe the hard drive and install an OS without them?

Click here and try using the Internet Recovery system. If it's not available on that Mac, you need disks; if it is, it can be used to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.

Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now. For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.

Satellite Pro M70-113: Not possible to write on CD-R and DVD-R

Hello,
I have a Toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
Reading Problems:
I am unable to read any cd-r. This is really strange as a couple of days earlier those CD-R were reading fine on my drive.
and when i click the cd drive in my computer an error dialog shows and says F: is not accessible/incorrect function. Here is a screenshot for the error..:
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/9574/1bp3.jpg
And when I try to read my DVD-R, some times they read fine but sometimes it doesn't read it and the LED of the drive keeps lit when it doesn't read the dvd-r.
When it doesn't read the DVD-R, the following error comes: Screenshot here: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9674/2bc0.jpg
Writing Problems:
After getting the reading problems I tried to test my drive for writing.
And i found that I am unable to write on cd-r. I used alcohol, and Nero both but no success.
Though same content when burned on cd-rw its a success.
I am able to burn successfully on DVD+RW 4x media, with data amounting to almost 4.34GB for DVD5..
When I insert a DVD-R media the drive doesnt detect it as a blank media and the LED keps on lighting constantly and so nero at this state doesnt detect my dvd drive even! So i am not able to write to my DVD-R media..
In short: only write to RWs is possible for both, cd-r and dvd+RW, and no writing possible on CD-R and DVD-R.
Please help me.
It's only 7 months since I purchased this notebook and believe there can be no other person on this planet who takes care of the drive better than me!
Really, I have not used this drive much and never inserted scratched/degraded/local media, only moserbaer media.
Thank

Hi
Well, according to your description it sound like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and therefore its not possible to read or write these medias.
Usual its not possible to fix this and the drive replacement is needed.
You can also check the user manual. There you can find a list with all supported and compatible medias.
I have found also this topic in the forum:

Satellite Pro M70: Need original discs and Configfree says switch is off

1. I cannot find any original discs for my Sat.Pro M70 - any suggestions.
2. Configfree is installed and running but it keeps advising me that my wireless switch is turned off. It is clearly on.
Any suggestions please

Tobi is right. Original recovery CDs you can order by service partner in your country. If you need addresses you can find them under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com ?Support & Downloads ?Find an Authorized service provider.
Issue with ConfigFree is very strange. Do you use right ConfigFree version for Satellite Pro M70?

Integrated WLAN not detected on my Satellite Pro M70

Hi,
My M70 laptop recently crashed and I reinstalled using a windows xp disk. I'm now trying to install the missing drivers starting with the WLAN but it doesn't appear to even be detected. There is a "Network Controller" in device manager thats missing the driver so I was thinking that may be it. I've tried the first intel Pro driver from the website but it didnt make any difference.
What do I need to do?
Thanks

The Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E seems to be equipped with the Intel 11b/g WLan card.
The WLan driver could be found here on the Toshiba WLan portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
The LAN card chip seems to be from Realtek and the driver already exists on the Toshiba driver page.

Satellite Pro M70 - What is the Bluetooth module part number

Could someone who has a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70, with bluetooth, tell me the part number of the bluetooth module please?
You can reed it from one of the labels under your notebook. You can read bluetooth in it, the part number is in the up left side of the label, and it will be something like this: PA3418U-BTM.
Thanks.

Hi
Why you dont make a call to the authorized service partner in your country and would order an compatible BT module for your notebook?
In my opinion this would be the easiest way to get one.
Unfortunately Im not owner of Sat Pro M70 and therefore I dont know the BT part number. But my A210 has been equipped with an internal BT module and the part number is PA3608U-1BTM

Re: Satellite Pro M70 - High CPU Usage - Low Performance

I sincerely hope someone can help. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I would truly value all help offered.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 of 2 yrs old and I am a definite advocate for Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day usage with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a painstaking process that takes too long. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, which works perfectly.
But starting up the computer takes ages. CPU usage is usually high and System Idle Processes as well. I have reinstalled Windows XP from the Toshiba Boot DVD already 4 times with starting fresh and installing everything time and time again. Each time after getting everything up to speed again, the performance is disappointing.
I have extended RAM to 1,49 GB which made little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but this is not visable in the processes; other than quite a few svhost.exe processes that take little processing capacity nor CPU usage.
I have used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a bit, but after a couple of days it seems to get only worse. I have an Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz processor. Research online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is quite good and demanding little capacity in comparison to competing security packages.
Is this system/software related or could this be a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance to all!

Hi!
This definitively not a hardware issue and I think should try to optimize some Windows settings to make your notebook faster.
At first you should clean the start up folder. Remove all programs that you dont need at start up. For example I dont have programs in the start up folder.
Furthermore you can customize the start up programs in msconfig (start => run => msconfig). There you can disable more programs that you dont need. Its your choice what do disable or enable.
You can improve the performance if you defragment your HDD from time time.
Remove all programs and trial software that you dont need and after this clean the registry. You can use CCleaner as Jimi said.
Try an other antivirus program. Maybe TrendMicro is not full compatible to the software that you use. I use AntiVir.
Bye

Satellite Pro M70 overheats and powers off

Need some tech support with this problem.
Satellite Pro M70 constant over heating problem. After 20-30 minutes of normal use (web browsing etc) the bottom of the laptop gets really hot near the fan, unbearably hot to the touch.
If I play any games or do anything cpu intensive, it will eventually smell of burning and power off.
All this time the CPU fan never spins! Just lets it get hotter and hotter. Strange thing is, when you first boot up, the CPU fan spins for about 5-6 seconds so it works! Already tried cleaning it, wasn't particularly dirty, the fan isnt jammed, it spins if u blow on it.....
Tried updating to latest BIOS still overheats.....
Tried all the toshiba utils for cpu temp monitoring etc, they indicate the CPU getting hotter and hotter well over 60C + but none of them (or other 3rd party utils) will detect the fan....!
Any fix for this or is it just bad fan / temp sensor design?

Hello smurftech_1
I had the somewhat the same problem with my Satellite M70 (PSM76E-00500K-AS) after three years of usage (it's now just over 4 years old).
In desperation I brought it to the official Toshiba maintenance workshop and a technician squirted air into the vent at the left-hand side of the laptop (using a simple little rubber bellows operated by a finger and thumb) and the problem was solved!
The chap didn't even need to blow air into the vent underneath the laptop (where I saw today that dust had collected).
No expensive repairs were needed. My only cost was in time and fuel getting to the workshop.
Quite simply, dust had accumulated in the vent and was blocking the circulation of air, so the laptop was quickly overheateding and shutting itself down. It was a dreadfully awkward problem at the time.
I hope this solves the problem.
Best wishes,
"Mannix".

How to upgrade Intel graphic/CPU on Satellite Pro M70

Ok, here we go with my first posting. I have bought a Satellite Pro M70, about a year ago. It has a graphics chip (intel gtl 950?!), i just would like to know, if it is possible to install a graphics card, like ati or nvidia's.
By the way, is it possible to upgrade the cpu? and how about warranty if upgrading and installing all that stuff?

Here I go with my first answer to you ;)
No, its not possible. The notebook technology is different as the desktop PCs and therefore you will be not able to upgrade the graphic card.
