HDD of Tecra A8-185 works just in PIO mode and DVD in UDMA2

So there is a problem. Tonight I need to have this laptop working propely :|
How to change HDD to UDMA mode? I can't do this in Windows XP...
BIOS update was made.

Hi,
I have the same problem. tecra A8, fujitsu 80G disk, avg. read 1.4 MB/s (!!), cpu utilization 52% (!!!). Main ide controller is set to use udma where available, but current setting is PIO mode. I have no idea what to do to fix/change it. Right now computer works very very slow.
Have you found a solution to your problem??
(ah, yes - bios upgrade was made)

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • I had a download on my angry birds game and now it does not work just turns screen black and then goes back to normal

    my angry birds showed an update so i did, when it finished i cannot play it now, when try to play the welcome screen comes up and then after a few seconds turns black and then the phone returns to normal

    I suggest taking it back to Best Buy. Once it has been opened, Apple will not handle the phone. Best Buy or another 3rd party are your only choices. Best Buy probably made an error when replacing the screen. Understand they are not an authorized Apple Service Center.

  • "Open menu" not working, just like "Inspect element" and "customize toolbar"

    Tried resetting Firefox, tried disabling all add-ons, reinstall, safe mode etc. My version is 31, Windows 8.1. Nothing helps. Its unusable.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • IPhone 4, Home button not working, stuck in recovery mode and boots straight into voice control.

    After trying everything and failing I still cant work out why this is happening.
    I cant restore my phone in itunes, just get an error. My phone boots into voice control for no reason and to top it off the home button stopped working along with all these errors. It cant be a hardware issue. I sent it in and got told I had water damage which is impossible as I treated the phone like gold.
    Does anyone have a reasonable explaination as why this is happening and maybe even a solution?
    Thanks!

    try to put your phone in recovery mode. plug into itunes and hold down the home button and top button until apple logo appears and then let go of the top button only. the phone should display plug into itunes.let go of the home button when this happens. disconnect iphone and plug it back in itunes should recognize it is in recovery mode. hit the restore button on summary page.

  • MacBook just returned from repair and DVD drive blocked!

    Hi,
    I just got my MacBook back from repair (screen flicker) but there is something seriously wrong with my DVD drive...
    I can't put a disc in -- it feels like it's blocked. At first I thought the engineers might have left a disc in there, but I can't get it to eject.
    What to do?
    Steve.

    I just received a refurb macbook yesterday, unpacked it, and when I went to insert a CD into the drive, I had the same exact prob you have. I made appt with Genius bar and they looked at it... they said it was a quite common prob with the drive going out of alignment when they snap the case shut during assembly. The Genius took a small plastic tool, wrapped the tip with tape and pried the slot which caused the drive to align properly. Of course, my mind started to wonder, it this fix just a band aide, or is it really fixed? … but I guess I was just happy not to have to send it out, the same day I received it, for repair… and if I continue to have probs with the drive, the Apple Store is just a block from where I work, and I have the AppleCare I bought with the $ I saved w/ buying a refurb.

  • My 1stgen ipod stopped working stuck in recovery mode and itunes wont read it

    okay so i finally charged my ipod 1st generation it was dead for years and now it works fine i tried to download software that can update it too atlest 5.01 or higher but it kept sayin i failed to put it in DFU mode (idk what that is) but i tried to put it in that a couple time .till the last time it just got stuck when i turn it on the apple symbol comes up then its the "connect to itnues' and that happens over and over again and now itunes wont even read it and then when it did connect it said it couldnt be restored , soo help!

    Se:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes only works in 64 bit mode and older movies doesn`t play

    Hello,
    I have ~400 movies, including tv shows and movies, but from the last iTunes updated, I cannot play my library or add news movies, not from iTunes menu ou using iFlicks as always did. And my home sharing didn`t working anymore.
    I read googled about and I think it`s maybe because some issues with  64 bit mode, but iTunes will not working in 32 bit anymore, so what should I do? Any help????

    At Mike Johnson12's suggestion I posted my problem separately at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15801854#15801854 .  The only response I have received there so far is from another person who has experienced the same problem you & I have.  That makes at least 3 of us. Please feel free to hijack my post there if you think it might help!

  • I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie to MPEG -4 Video both worked well on my iMac but will not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD RW and DVD-RW.  Any suggestions?

    I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie using MPEG-4 Video.  Both played well on my iMac but would not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs.  I have tried other 'codecs' DV-PAL; DVCPRO-PAL; DVCPRO50-PAL; AIC; and finally share to iDVD.  iDVD works on both my iMac and DVD Recorder but the picture is very poor with major shimmering which is unwatchable.  Can anyone assist? The other codecs I used either do not pay on my video recorder or fail when I play them back on my iMac.  I am at a loss as to what I can do.  I am from the UK so using PAL is essential.

    If the source video is interlaced, you may have problems using iMovie. It de-interlaces everything on output which can cause picture to look strange.  Final Cut Pro X supports interlaced video, but it costs a lot more.
    Standard DVD Players don't support H.264 or MPEG4.  You might want to look at this article on transferring HD video to DVD.  I wrote this article mainly for Final Cut Pro, but many of the same principles apply.  

  • Just bought a mac air with OS X v.10.7 Lion, for work I need to read and write NTFS drives, I install MacFuse and NTFS-3G, but it can not mount (recognize?) External HDD, in my MBP with Snow Lepard it work just perfectly... help please.

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

  • Toshiba Ext.HDD 320GB USB wire not working?

    So I have a Toshiba External Hard Drive that connects plug and play via USB 2.0 wire Male A to Mini B. Problem is, is that I have about 5 usb 2.0 wires all ranging from 2feet - 6feet in length and absolutely none of them work. I used to have one that worked it seemed a bit thicker than other USB 2.0 wires but lost it and am using a friends 6 inch us 2.0 wire that works fine but seeing as it's his I need to acquire a new one. I don't want to waste money on a wire that won't work so I was wondering if anyone at all knew what the problem seems to be. I have searched the internet for the solution as well as went to the local tech shop and they had no clue what the heck was going on. The man there said it was probably the length of the wire but the original USB 2.0 wire I had was about 2.5 feet in length and it worked fine. It's not a problem with my ports seeing as my frineds works in all the ports and not a problem with vista obviously seeing as yes, it works. I just need my own USB 2.0 wire and need not to waste money on something that won't work. Anyone with a solution please? Thanks!
    *the hard drive powers up with the wires I have but Vista won't recognise it*
    *the drivers do not need to be installed seperately seeing as it is plug and play and has all drivers on the hard drive itself.*

    Check all usb cables to learn if signs of wire crimping/bulge is observed, those need to be replaced. Length not too much of a problem these days.  Generally, belkin have good cable units. If there is too many plugged into the laptop could cause non-working conditions and recommend a usb hub to be utilized, worth a check out.  You could also deinstall the USB controllers via Device Manager and reboot, let hardware wizard reinstall.
    On the external HDD not recognized, put the disc that came with the device.  When not recognized no driver is on board yet, but you will still get some sort of indicator of an attempt at install.  Try putting usb into the laptop after it has been operational.  Check Computer to see if it is recognized, and take off all other external usb units.
