Driver Problems on Satellite A205-S4777

My Satellite A205-S4777 is showing a problem with the network adaptor and the mass storage controller.
Can anyone provide a link to a driver download to it?
I have tried the automatically search for software but cant find it.

Hi mate,
since your machine is from USA, you should refer to the american drivers download site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
Please search there for the drivers you need because you wont find any drivers on the european sites.
Greets and nice weekend

Satellite A205-S4777 Won't start up

My Toshiba laptop wont start up. I dont know why =(. The model is Satellite A205-S4777. IF someone could help me.. i would be grateful thanks.

Hi
Maybe something went wrong during system restore and this is the reason why the windows OS refuses to boot up.
Try the HDD recovery!
Press F8 at the beginning.
Then choose Repair My Computer and then HDD recovery.
This will start the HDD recovery process which allows you to reinstall the OS
I hope this would solve the annoying issue

Satellite A205-S4777 - XP does not recognize HDD

Hi!
I recently have buyed a new Toshiba A205-S4777 satellite with Windows Vista home premium installed
and i noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so i decided to downgrade to XP
I want to install directly Windows XP but the installer does not recognise the hard drive or more exactly the controllers!
I nLited the Sata drivers in the Windows Xp Sp2 i have bought in the microsoft.com site!
Everything worked fine.
The installer recognised the Hard Drive and the installer finallased fine!
But here' s the problem when windows loads and try to switch on it gaves a kind of blue screen unreadable one!
And restarts and if you let it it does all the day the same!
I am afraid i do not nLited the correct drivers.
Is there anybody that heve downgraded this model ?
Thanx

Hi
Possibly you used not right SATA driver ?:| Who knows
The point is that there are two different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions which support different chipsets.
I dont know what chipset your notebook supports but you should check this and should check also the Intel Storage Manger description and should check what chipsets are supported.
Additionally you should take a look here into this Toshiba doc:

Compatible DVD Drive problem on Satellite U200

I am over in Iraq and my commander's cd drive quit on the Satellite U200 laptop. The drive that was in there was UJDA765 which cannot burn DVD's. The problem with that drive is it quit seeing DVD's and the CD part only worked sometime and then it made noise.
I looked for a compatible DVD burner to replace it with and found UJ-822B. Several sites said it was compatible and I found people that say they were using it. Can anyone tell me if it really is? I already had the drive shipped here. Is there something that I need to do to get the laptop to see it? It does not show up in the hardware section, but it has power and opens and closes correctly. I have moved to the point of considering flashing the bios, I have done that many times but do not see any benefit as the changes in the new BIOS.
If I was wrong, can someone tell me a DVD burner that is compatible?

Thanks Barrie,
I ordered the 765 and installed it, however now I am getting the pxe driver error on bootup and the drive is not found. I checked the in the bios and saw no problems, I did change the order of bootup and that did not resolve the problem as I found that recommended on several sites.
I removed the battery and checked the connections but the plug it plugs into is soldered to the board so that is not a problem. The old drive had a cd/dvd (755 model), it is still found but only the CD works, the dvd does not.
I thought about replacing the laser on the drive itself, but now that I have the new drive and it still is not working I am not sure. I am going to replace the bios with the newest version but other than that I think this laptop is just shot.

Win 7 install disk driver problem on Satellite L40-18E

Hi' to get to the point im trying to install windows 7 on a Satellite L40-18E and when i boot from cd it says i didnt safely remove storage device.
When i start up Vista as normal and try install from my computer it says i do not have the hard disk drives. am so confused please help:-)

Hi again
sorry i wrote that message last night when i was tired and realise it its just a poor description of my problem to say the least.
Basicaly the laptop L40 i have bought is from a friend who copied all the stuff he wanted to keep to his new laptop and just gave me it with his programs and music on it. It has two partitions on it and windows vista os that i personaly think is a load of rubbish. All i realy want to do is set it back to factory setting and have one main partition instead of 2 small one's then load a fresh install of win 7 (no upgrade). It is a new windows 7 disk that fell of the shelf at work (cough) but is 100% never been used brand new. My computer know how is as good as my grammer (which is poor). i have changed bios to boot from dvd and pressed any key to boot it first load bar goes fine then second stops at 1/3 and a message about me not unplugging a storage device pops up and tells me i can go no further.
So i tried to boot it from the vista desk top in my computer went well at first then message poped up about correct hard disk drivers not installed from there the confussion started.
If u could dumb down or give me a description of were to find the info u need im more than happy to do it just not confident with pc's let alone vista

CD/DVD drive problem on Satellite L655-S5097

When put any CD or DVD disc in drive and click on CD/DVD icon in Computer the drive tray is ejecting and "Insert a disc" pop-up window arised. Laptop is almost new and this problem exists from the beginning of the use. Is drive defected or may be there is any option because of which disc drive doesn't work.

hi chelsea50,
if you are in doubt that itunes causes this problem the easiest thing is to deinstall it...
but you should try to delete the filter drivers of the drive - there are already some posts in this forum - use the search function
the badest thing would be that your drive is defective.. but check out all other possibilities before....

A205-S5000 won't boot. Says possible hard drive problem

Laptop won't boot and says possible hard drive problem. Need to recover
personal reports and data, so thinking of removing the drive and using an enclosure
so the data, if still good, can be extracted from the drive by another computer. Question
is, will I be able to create the restore cd's from the hard drive if the hard drive is not the
boot drive ie; attached to a 2nd computer via usb and enclosure.
If it's not possible, I can try to create cd's from a different model laptop (toshiba), same vista os but
what about the product key? I will try to reinstall the bad drive and try a reboot to recovery mode but
I doubt that is going to work or complete. Idea was to get a new drive and try to install recovery disks.

Recovery discs must be from an identical model. If you can't burn them from that computer, best to order them
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
The restored Windows is pre-activated.

Unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005 on Satellite A205-s5831

Hello everyone.
I Needs some helps from all of you.
I have Toshiba Laptop Satellite A205-S5831.
Its Have Windows Vista Home Premium.
And I am unable to install SQL server 2000 and 2005.
I also Unable to Install Windows XP SP2.
Problem is SATA driver.
Plz Help me ...!
Response me

Hi
The Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install it on the notebook with SATA HDD controller.
The SATA driver can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.
I would recommend using the nLite program to include a SATA driver into the new Windows XP CD and then to boot from the new created XP CD.
Here you will find all details regarding the nLite:

Regarding SQL server issue;
Maybe you will be able to install in on Windows XP. Possibly there is a compatibility issue between the Vista and the SQL server software

A205-s4777 crashing - video processor?

I have had my A205-S4777 for a couple years now without any major problems. Starting a few months ago, it started either powering itself down or completely freezing at seemingly random times. The first thing I did was reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows, which did not help at all. I tried running Windows in safe mode, but that did not completely eliminate the crashes. I reformatted again and installed Ubuntu 10.04 to see if that would change anything, but the freezing problem continued. I made a boot CD and tested the RAM and the hard disk, and they both passed with no errors (the hard disk has a few bad sectors, but it still works fine). Finally, I discovered that if I boot Ubuntu in Failsafe mode and then run the GUI in low-graphics mode, it does not crash. I've left the computer running in this mode for over 24 hours and it was fine. Does this mean that it is the graphics processor that is bad? Could it be the motherboard, or something else? How can I determine the specific part that needs to be replaced? The computer has the Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller onboard.

I actually already did that too. It had been getting really hot on the bottom, and I figured that was why I was having problems, so I cleaned out all the dust, and it didn't overheat anymore, but it didn't help with the freezing. So I don't know, maybe the heat damaged something before I cleaned it out. Although if I remember correctly, I installed a program to monitor the core temperature before I cleaned out the dust, and even though it was getting kind of warm when the processors were working near full capacity, it was still within what's considered the acceptable temperature range.

Black SOD after Vista Updates on Satellite A205-S5804

I have a Satellite A205-S5804 laptop running Vista Home Premium. It ran fine until an automatic update (about a month ago). Then I got the Black Screen Of Death during bootup (somewhere after the Vista starts to load but prior to the user logon). Took it to the Geek Squad who says it isn't hardware related (as my extended warranty only covers hardware). They claimed it is a corrupted OS. I think they are correct about it not being hardware since I can get it to go to Safe Mode. Restore didn't work. I acquired a copy of Vista Home Premium and attempted to run repair but that didn't correct the problem. Next I reloaded it. Everything ran great like it is suppposed to. But the automatic update downloaded and installed the 92 or so Vista updates that it supposedly needs since the Vista disk was produced. Now the problem is back. I can get to Safe Mode, into the BIOS and just about everything else except I cannot get it to boot normally without black-screening before the login to user prompt. I have hooked an external monitor up and when the laptop blacks out the external monitor reports no signal. I suspect there is an issue with a Vista update (which one I do not know). I have already backed up the data I want to save and have that on another computer. Any suggestions other than to reload Vista and not ever acquire any updates? Is there a setting in the BIOS or a "fix" to the Vista update? I tried searching for hours on this issue and have not found a solution. Thanks for any help or suggestions from other Toshiba users.

Restore didn't work.
What does that mean?
It means that when I selected an earlier restore point (prior to when I suspect the Vista update downloaded and installed) the black screen issue remained. At none of my restore points could I get the issue to go away or resolve itself.
I tried the Toshiba restore to out of the box, or at least I wanted to, however, following the manual instructions the laptop did not give me that option. I held down the 0 (zero) button and powered it on but it did not go into the Hard Drive Recovery mode. I suspect my model is not one of the ones that came with this option.
So, after taking the laptop to the Geek Squad originally after the problem appeared and verifying that I don't have a hardware problem and also trying the recommended methods for returning to a stable and fully functional computer, I purchased a legit copy of Vista Home Premium so that I could reload the operating system. Yes, I am realizing how much more difficult Vista is than XP. I have reloaded Vista from scratch. I registered the copy. I have downloaded and installed SP1. I am currently doing SP2. I am basically creating a clean machine with just an OS loaded. Once I am sure that it will function properly (no more blacking out) I will reload my programs and transfer my data back.
Tedious process...but it seems like my best option. And now that it is in progress there really isn't any point in trying anything else other than uninstalling any update(s) after I reach a stable point that may be causing the screen to black out. If and when I reach that point again I will visit Microsoft to see what assistance I can get for any Windows Updates that I can identify as being troublesome.
I really appreciate everyone's input and suggestions. I was hopeful that it would be something as simple as an outdated driver or something along those lines. However, as much as I have searched, I have not found anyone who has had the exact same problem and there doesn't seem to be an easy cure. I will keep you posted on my success or failure with the method I have chosen. Thanks again.

Satellite A205-S7464: How to install Toshiba Common Modules for XP Pro SP2

Greetings all.
I have a new laptop that came preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium as they tend to.
Vista does not run a number of the programs I need to run, I've found, and I really don't like it that much anyway..
I have decided to install Windows XP.
I partitioned the HD and ran the installer to a new partition on the drive with all of the drivers I've collected for XP sleepstreamed into my retail XP Professional disc. This is no problem. I got everything up and going just fine. My only problem now (well, other than some residual issues with the original Vista partition) is that I can't get the proprietary Toshiba utilities going so that I can use for example the FN+ commands, power management options, etcetera.
I have experimented around with a couple of different versions of the Common Modules drivers and other utilities but have of yet been unable to get things moving in the direction I would like them to move.
The main thing really is the control for FN+F6 and F7 (Adjusting brightness), as the monitor on this beast kills a battery.
I've tried Toshiba support, but with no luck.
I know the Vista to XP downgrade is a pretty common move, so if anybody has been there and could give me a little step by step guidance in getting things working I would be forever indebted.
The model is Toshiba Satellite A205-S7464, Part No. PSAF3U-07300V.
Let me know if any other information is necessary.
Thanks in advance, Jacob

It seems to be a notebook series which were delivered only in the USA and therefore all Toshiba drivers and utilities should be installed from the US site.
This is a Toshiba US driver page:

Where did you find this Common modules driver?
> I have experimented around with a couple of different versions of the Common Modules drivers and other utilities but have of yet been unable to get things moving in the direction I would like them to move.
I presume you are not able to install these common modules because you have used wrong version which is not designed and not compatible with your notebook.

Satellite A205-s4707: High temperature of touchpad and HDD

Hi
just bought a toshiba satellite A205-s4707 series laptop and my problem is that my touch pad gets heat when i use the for a few ours.
Is it normal, also my hard drive temperature reaches 135 fahrenheit degrees.
If you can help me with my problem a will appreciate

Hm, I dont think that this is a problem because your machine is working properly, doesnt it?
I mean, you have a really powerful system which is packed in a minimum of size.
Please compare your machine with a desktop and you will recognize that you have much lesser cooling devices than a desktop computer with a similar performance. So, dont worry, thats normal that a notebook computer gets a little bit warmer.
If something starts to melt, then its critical. :) But it wont happen. ;)

DVD/CD Drive Problem: Works with DVDs, but won't Read CDs

As the title states, my laptop's CD drive will not read CDs (it is a satellite A205 by the way). The yellow light lights up, it makes noises as if it is trying to read the CD, but just doesn't do it. It won't show up as a CD being there when I look it up on "computer". On the other hand, when I put a DVD in, it works no problem. Anyone have any idea of what I could do? I've tried uninstalling the driver on device manager and restarting the computer, thus allowing it to reinstall it, and it didn't help. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Try cleaning out the drive with compressed air and/or a lens cleaning disk. This often times helps.
Next try booting to a Linux Live CD or some other Self Booting CD like Memtest. If it doesn't then you know for sure that the drive itself is defective as you are taking Windows out of the equation. If it does, then you know it's a Windows problem which will more than likely require restoring the system to it's factory out of box state using the Recovery DIsks to fix.
If the drive works with a Live CD then try going into device manager, uninstall the DVD drive, then reboot the system to have Windows automatically re-install it. This sometimes helps as well.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
