DVD-SuperMulti Drive on Satellite Pro notebook

I'm looking to purchase a 15.6'' Toshiba Satellite Pro PSCMMA001001 Notebook.
Is the Optical Disc Drive: DVD-SuperMulti Drive provided suitable for recording back-ups of large (genealogical) databases? Ie is it fully recordable for data, photographs, etc.?
Thank you.

Hi
Using posted part number I found specification for this Satellite Pro C50. It has DVD-SuperMulti Drive.
Of course you can use it to save all your important data to empty medias like CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW.
I dont know which burning application is originally installed. Check it out and test functionality.
Of course you can remove it from the system and install your favourite burning application.

  • Compatible DVD-RW drives for Satellite Pro 4320

    I want to upgrade the CD-ROM drive of my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 with a new DVD-RW drive. If i bought the following drive, will it work with my Notebook?
    Samsung SlimDrive SN-S082D

    Or please, if you know of a DVD-RW drive that is compatible with this notebook, then share your knowledge so I and others know what to buy. Thanks.
    Or are all drives available nowadays compatible?

    Drive compatibility is always a problem by upgrade. The fact is that every ODD will not work with every notebook model. I presume it is because of different pin assignment.
    Unfortunately I was not able to find any list of compatible ODDs for your notebook model. Sat Pro 4320 is pretty old unit and it will be probably not so easy to find compatible DVD-RAM drive. Try to contact authorized Toshiba service in your country. They are upgrade specialized and they should know which ODDs are compatible for this Satellite Pro notebook.

  • What are compatible DVD-RWs drives with Satellite Pro 6000

    Hi
    Can any one tell me what dvd rw's is compatible withe the satellite pro 6000?

    Hi
    Its always hard to find any information about compatible drives because of the different master / slave and c-sel settings.
    In my knowledge Toshiba user manuals dont provide such information. Ok, I dont know if all user manual dont provide this but I did not find such info in my user manual.
    However. I have investigated a little bit a someone has suggested that Toshiba SD-R6372 dvd writer is compatible with Satellite Pro 6000/6100 units.
    I found it on a very popular online auctioneers ;)

  • CD/DVD drive on Satellite Pro M70 wont work properly

    Following my up date to Vista Ultimate and SP1 my CD/DVD disk drive stopped working.
    I was able to adjuest this using the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ETC/.." but now only DVD will operate correctly.
    When I try to re-install my All-in One printer the installation only reaches step 1 and I then get the follwing message. 'the Installer cannot access the regristry key - HIKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current\ControlSEt\Enum .'
    The drive sems to be permanently in DVD RW. Can anyone assist.

    >Can anyone assist?
    Maybe Microsoft. Many different and very strange issues occur after SP1 installation. For better overview check http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB84026M0000R01.htm

  • Removing DVD/CD-RW drive from Satellite Pro A120

    Can someone help me remove the DVD/CD-RW from this laptop??
    I've already bent the bezel on the original drive which I'm trying to remove to replace with a DVD-RW drive.
    I've removed the screw - (indicated by F6 on the case plastic - which seems to be the one & only one) & the drive wont budge. It seems slightly loose in the laptop casing but wont pull out. Is there another screw or a clip that I'm missing??
    I'm been given a schematic by a support person that i got in touch with, but that's no help. I just don't want to yank to hard & break the excising drive & the laptop as well.
    Thanks.

    Hello
    I presume under the keyboard is a kind of switch that must be released and put out the ODD out of slot. A120 is new unit and I hope you know removing the keyboard you can cancel the warranty.
    Think about that!

  • 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

    Hi everyone
    I have a Satellite Pro P200.
    Does anyone know where I can get a lead and a caddy to install a 2nd hard drive?

    As far as I know your notebook can be upgraded with second HDD if SATA connector is available.
    When you remove HDD cover for second HDD can you see it or not?
    I have Satellite P200D with place for second HDD but there is no HDD SATA connector so upgrade is not possible.

  • Need ATI XP driver on Satellite Pro A200-15G

    Hi,
    I'm italian so my english will be not very well :)
    I've installed XP on my toshiba Satellite Pro A200-15G.
    I've searched the display driver for this model of notebook on this toshiba site, but i didn't find it.
    Where i can find it?
    Ah, another thing: i've installed xp without update bios for xp... is necessary to update it?
    Last thing (for the buyers of a satellite/satellite pro a series): what is the autonomy of your notebook's battery (in various modes and in various SO)?
    Thanks.
    Bye

    Hi,
    if you need a display driver then go here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    or especially for ATI cards you can go here:
    http://www.omegadrivers.net/
    Regarding BIOS: yes, if you want some things on your machine working properly then update your BIOS to the XP version.
    Hm, battery lifetime... should be about 1 1/2 to 2 hours
    But I am not sure, it depends from so many things.

  • Need LAN driver for Satellite Pro A120

    Hay,
    at the begining, my english is not very well, i'm sorry.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A 120 laptop, but i lost the recovery disc so i dont have drivers for internet. When i plug in cable for ADSL nothing is hapening. I was search that on this pages, but did not find. There are two available, and i dont know how to download it.
    When i download it and extract there is no icon for install.

    Hi champion20,
    What is the exact part number of your notebook?
    Usually you can download all drivers on Toshiba website. If you have an European model, check the European website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads
    The correct LAN driver is depending on the built in hardware. If you dont know how to identify an unknown device, check this very useful article:

  • Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

    I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
    Things I've tried:
    # booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
    # connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
    # I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
    I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
    A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

    No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
    # It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
    # The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
    Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
    Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

  • DVD-Rom drive in Satellite C655-S5128 not working properly in Windows 8

    I recently upgraded my system from Windows 7 to Windows 8. However, the DVD-Rom drive after the upgrade no longer works properly -- it now treats the pre-recorded disk as if it was completely blank. I tried reinstalling the Toshiba Disc Creator, but that did not work.
    Any solution?

    You apparently did not use the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant in upgrading to Windows 8.  See HERE for DVD and Disk Creator problems occurring during the upgrade and solutions.

  • Need Vista driver for CD/DVD SuperMulti Drive PA3761

    Hi there,
    hoping you can help me.
    I've just purchased an external CD/DVD drive - PA3761 - the SuperMulti Drive.
    When first connected to my PC - running VISTA - the computer searched for drivers to install and then came back with the message - no drivers found please install.
    Looking at the Toshiba website I can't seem to find any reference to this product or drivers for it.
    Can anyone please help?
    thanks,
    Justin

    hi JWestcott,
    seems to be that there is no driver for vista available....
    go to the device manager and find out which device code (dev_yyy&pid_yyy) is shown maybe you can search for...
    there might be a generic driver for the usb chipset....
    try the downloadpage for other countries as well....

  • Need help with installing new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

    Hi All,
    My hard disk died in my Satellite Pro M10 so I decided to fit another.
    It fits fine in the caddy but just doesnt want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopping it.
    Does the M10 only accept a certain make/model?
    Also does anyone know what the highest capacity the M10 will accept?
    Many thanks.
    Regards
    J

    As far as I know there should not be problem at all. Take old and new HDD and compare the connectors. I hope they are the same. I can just imagine the new HD is not placed properly in the HDD bracket. Be sure the new one is placed as old one after removing it from the notebook.
    About max HDD capacity there is no precise info and we can just speculate about it. Try to use search option on this forum. Maybe someone already wrote about HDD upgrade on Sat/Sat Pro M10.
    The fact is that Satellite Pro is delivered with 30, 40 and 60 GB HDDs. How many GB has your new HDD?
