Sat Pro 6000 - DVD decoder needed

I have owned my faithful Sat Pro 6000 for nearly 6 years. I have had to use the recovery discs and reformat back to factory settings. Now I am unable to play DVD??s, I am asked for the decoder.
Why is this requesting being made now? Can this be downloaded?

In my knowledge the DVD software cannot be downloaded.
On the Toshiba recovery CD you will find an image which contains all preinstalled tools on the notebook!
Many Toshiba notebooks were delivered with the WinDVD software and this program can be used for DVD movie watching.
If you ask ONLY for the DVD decoder plug-in for Windows media player so you will have to download it from the Microsoft site.
Search simply in the net!

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.

Sat Pro L10 DVD Super Multi Drive

I have a new Satellite Pro L10 with DVD Super Multi Drive running XP Pro. I have not been able to write to the DVD drive - either it does not recognise the DVD in the drive or it blue screens and crashes when I am using the Windows Back-up facility before I can read the error message. I am now getting very nervous as I have not been able to back it up for the 6 weeks I have had it....
I can play pre-recorded DVDs (i.e. movies) in the drive and it can read Cds and some makes of DVD. The manual is singularly unhelpful on how to use/troubleshoot the Super Multi drive

HI Christine,
Unfortunately not. The Toshiba specification for the L10 simply states that Sonic RecordNow and WinDVD Creator are supplied as bundled software.
The only options are :-
1. The software is pre-installed on the hard drive,
2. The software is provided on the Toshiba tools & Utilities CD
3. The software is provided on OEM CDs.
Toshiba use a combination of the above three methods depending upon which model of notebook is purchased. On some models item #2 is not supplied but has to be created by the purchaser.
When I bought my A30 it used a combination of #2 and #3 for the bundled software, with Drag'N'drop CD being supplied on the tools and utilities CD but with Microsoft Works and Onenote supplied on OEM CDs. Everything else was pre-installed oin the HD.
It seems strange that you have neither Sonic or Windvd Creator on you system.
It may be worth checking with the people where you purchased your notebook to ensure that they supplied all the necessary bits and pieces.
Sorry I can't be any more helpful but it is very unlikely that both products have been accidently deleted from the system, so the real issue is to locate the original source for them.

Sat Pro 4200: accelerator 3D needed. How can I get it?

I use Toshiba Satelite Pro 4200. To play some games DirectX 8.0 must be installed. The games can not be installed because there is no "accelerator 3D". What can I do? I must admit I am ignorant in this matter

Hi
You have to install the newest DirectX. As far as I know the newest version is 9.0C
Try to download it form the Microsoft website:
www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx

Sat Pro 6000 does not power up.

Hi,
I have a couple of problems with SP6000's, that when it comes to powering them on, they either will not start or start and then fail just as the OS has finished booting. It appears to be some sort of power problem, but I wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem?
This problem has occurred with both 4 or 5 work laptops and my home laptop. As you can imagine, it is more concerning that my home pc has gone wrong!
Please can someone let me know of a cure, or at least give me some real clues as to what is possibly going wrong? I have changed both power suply and battery, just in case.
Keenly hoping,
Dave

Hi
It would be very interesting to know if this strange problem occurs after the power supply and battery changing or before you changed anything.
Did you try to recover your OS? How long runs OS on the unit? In my opinion you should try if this problem occurs on the clean OS.
Bye

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again
Chris

Sat Pro L20 - What PCI Card do I need?

I have a Sat Pro L20 (model PSL2YE-00J005EN). What PCI Card do I need for a Wi-Fi connection? They all seem to be 32 bit cards but my manual says I have a 16 bit slot.

Hi
I have visit the Toshiba accessories website and I have found a information that some unit has always the wireless card. Did you check in the device manager if there is a wireless card?
Unfortunately I dont have found a exactly part number of the wireless card which is compatible but if you want to order one so I would recommend to contact the Toshiba service partner. There you can order the miniPCI which is 100% compatible with your unit.

Re: Sat Pro A10 and Sat A10 - the difference - need new keyboard

Hey all!
New ID as i'm rubbish at remembering passwords/log on emails....
I've got a Satellite Pro A10 that needs a new keyboard - there's loads floating around on ebay for the Satellite A10 - but not the Pro - now i'm almost 100% it'll be the same keyboard - right? the 'Pro' bit just usually denounces extras bits and qhizzy things - but basically they're the same hardware platform underneath - i.e. the same keyboard between the Sat A10 and Sat Pro A10
Anyone?
:D thanks in advance for letting me sleep at night!

I agree with you. There is no much difference and the notebook construction is the same.
I am 100% sure the keyboard is the same.

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 ;)

Video capture with Sat Pro M70: What ports and leads can I use?

I want to edit my home movies on my Sat Pro M70 using WXP Pro (win dvd or movie maker). I want to capture the video from my panasonic camcorder which has digital tapes. what ports can I use and what leads do I need? I am desperate to edit my recent wedding video to put onto DVD and post to my mum. The panasonic website has been ignoring me! Any advice anyone ??

Well, as far as I know this unit has only an S-video out port. In this case you can connect the notebook to the TV and watch the picture from notebook on TV but its not possible to receive any signals from TV or any other device on notebook.
To receive the signals you need a composite port or an s-video in port.
However, if the camcorder has a firewire port so you can send the digital files thru the firewire connection. But this should only works with digital files which are saved on the camcorder.

Compatible DVD decoder not installed

Hello. I am so helpless...and need advice, please someone....
I was working on a project in Premiere Pro and my computer(Windows XP 1GB) crashed. I heard compatibility problems with CS3 and Vista, so I took my computer to a repair place. It came back with a new hard drive, but the computer says "Compatible DVD decoder is not installed in the computer." All it has is Window Media player..... I have CS (the initial CS version), and I need Windows XP so that I can use Premiere CS version. I do not have any newer version of Premiere than CS. I am sorry, but I am totally lost and have no idea what to do.....

The message is probably telling you that your trying to play a DVD-Video disc without having an
MPEG-2 codec installed. Except for some versions of Vista, Windows doesn't come with an MPEG-2 codec. Most of the time it gets automatically installed with a DVD player software that often is bundled with a DVD drive. Maybe you have an installation disc of such a player lying around somewhere.
Otherwise you will need to buy the codec:
DVD Decoder (MPEG-2 Decoder) Plug-ins
You can check whether or not a Media Player compatible MPEG-2 codec is installed with this utility:

Sat Pro M10 will not boot up anymore

My Sat Pro M10 worked fine until yesterday. I removed the harddrive just to check Part number (as i need to install a larger drive and want to make sure I got it right)and then re-inserted it. Now it boots up as far as the XP Pro loading screen (black background) which disappears and then the screen goes blank. This is what normally happens during boot-up, except that there would be a cursor over the blank background for a few seconds until my desktop appears. Also, when it has stopped at this blank screen the harddrive light on the front of the laptop flashes regularly every few seconds. I desperately need some of the data on the hard-drive (and no, it is not all backed up) so I do not want to use the recovery CD which is just a ghost image (isn't it). The drive is formatted as NTFS. I mention this because when I tried to use the recovery disc to check disc integrity it gave an error message that said the NTFS logfile is not loaded. It will not respond to any of the F8 safemode-type options. I think I have messed up the booting up process somehow by removing the drive rather than physically breaking anything. it seems it can read the boot partition but no further. Can anyone suggest how to fix this, or worst comes to worst a way of retrieving the data from the disc?
Thanks and appreciation in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris
If the system runs stabile you can remove HDD so many times you want and it should have no any influence on anything. I have removed HDD from my Tecra very often and it still works well.
Back to your issue: if there is any possibility try to connect your HDD as external device to other notebook or desktop to see if you can see it and even back up all your important data.
All Toshiba notebooks, I suppose, since two years have NTFS and that is nothing unusual.

Is OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 2.5" SSD compatible with my Mac Pro, or do I need

Is OCZ Vertex Turbo 60GB 2.5" SSD compatible with my Mac Pro, or do I need the Vertex Mac Edition?
I have decided to purchase a SSD to use as a boot drive in the spare optical drive bay.
There are so many brands available, and Intel X25-M 'G2' seems generally to be the most highly rated overall. However, there is virtually no stock of 80GBs in the UK at present, except at extortionate prices, and I don't need 160GB.
Kingston SSDs are very reasonably priced, but seem to be a bit of an unknown quantity, although I rate their DDR3 memory very highly.
I have visited the websites of several manufacturers, and read various online reviews, and the recently introduced OCZ Vertex Turbo has had some good reviews, albeit on PC forums.
At the moment I can buy the 60GB Turbo for £170.66 inc.VAT from ebuyer.com, whereas their price for the standard Vertex 60GB is £193.99 inc. VAT, which seems very strange!
When I googled "OCZ Solid State Drives +UK", Amazon UK appeared on the listings, but there was a footnote which said " not suitable for use on Mac".
OCZ list a Vertex Series Mac Edition on their website, and that is why I am asking this question.
Unfortunately, there are no UK listings when I google the Mac Edition, and I am hoping that somebody of the ilk of "the hatter" or "samsara" will be able to answer my question.
If anybody else is using the Vertex Turbo in a Mac, I would be very grateful for your input. Likewise if you have had bad experiences with OCZ SSDs.
If I wait 3-4 weeks I should be able to buy an Intel X25-M G2 80GB for round about the same price as the Vertex Turbo 60GB, i.e. if prices remain the same as currently being quoted by vendors who are out of stock.
All input will be very gratefully received. If it is positive, I will go ahead and order a Vertex Turbo from ebuyer, in case they run out of stock (which is 16 at present).
Many thanks in anticipation, guys!

Hi Samsara,
Many thanks for your advices once again.
60GB will be more than adequate as my boot drive. At the moment I am using a VelociRaptor 300GB, and I have used less than 30GB of space. That is after reinstalling all my applications and software, and includes all my files, folders, and printer drivers etc.
I have utilised under 50GB of the original 640GB hard drive, but that includes a lot of photo images which I imported into both iPhoto and Aperture.
When I receive my Agility EX SSD I will clone from the VelociRaptor using Super Duper, and I will then set up a 4 drive RAID 0 using 4 VelociRaptor 300GB disks. That set up should suit my needs for many years to come, even when I eventually upgrade from Photoshop Elements 8 to CS5.
I will back up the Agility EX to the 640GB hard drive using Super Duper Smart Update, and that will be my spare boot drive.
The 4 drive RAID 0 will be backed up to the My Book Studio Edition II 2TB, using Time Machine.
In your experienced opinion, do you think that set up will be satisfactory?
The Agility EX is actually the latest generation of OCZ SSDs, and it is one of only 2 models in their "Maximum Performance" range, whereas the original Agility was only a "Mainstream" model.
The key factor is that the Agility EX uses single-level cells (SLC), instead of multi-level cells (MLC). It is second only to the Vertex EX Series in terms of performance per GB in the OCZ range of SATA 2.5" Solid State Drives.
In very recent reviews it has outperformed both the Vertex Turbo and Vertex 120GB models from the OCZ "Performance" range in most of the test benchmarks.
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/24507-ocz-agility- ex-60gb-ssd-review.html
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=oczagilityex&num=1
http://www.guru3d.com/article/ocz-agility-ex-ssd-60gb-review-test/3
The above are just a few of the very favourable reviews of the Agility EX SSD.
I preferred to buy a 60GB SLC, rather than a 120GB MLC, because SLCs reputedly have 10 times more life expectancy, and performance wise per GB there is no comparison.
Only time will tell if I have made the right decision!
