This with upload will not work so I recommend you to obtain Microsoft installation disc for operating system installation.
All necessary drives, tools and utilities you can find and download from Toshiba support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.

Satellite A100-496: CD/DVD drive error - incorrect function

Hi,
I am using Toshiba *Satellite A100-496* laptop with Windows XP as an Operating System.
When using the CD drive , I get the following error :-
*D:\ is not accessible*
*Incorrect function*
Can anybody guide me to troubleshoot and detect a possible solution ?

Hi
Access the device manager and remove the CD/DVD drive from the list.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the machine.
Im not quite sure if this will help you but in many case this workaround was very helpful

Satellite A100-998: Brightness & DVD Hotkeys never worked from new

My 2-year-old Satellite's screen brightness could easily be adjusted by the Fn + F6/F7 keys, but not this new one. Also, the keyboard Play/FF/Rewind keys for the DVD player don't function.
The Toshiba Hotkey Utility shows as a 1.37 MB file on my add/remove programs list. Could a solution be to remove and re-install this program? If so, would my recovery disks, as supplied by Toshiba, allow me to re-install the Hotkey utility?
Many thanks for all feedback.

Hello
Sorry but I can not believe that Brightness & DVD Hotkeys never worked from new. With factory settings all should work well.
Before we start any discussion can you please check your notebook model? A100 is pretty new one and can not be 2 years old.

Satellite A100-646 - New DVD replacement drive

Hi all,
I need to replace the dvd unit of my laptop.
I'm looking for a sparepart on the web, bat i don't find anything.
Somebody can suggest me were buy a dvd drive compatible?
I write from italy.
thanks
Regards

Hey,
Important is that you buy a compatible CD/DVD drive because not all drives are compatible with all notebooks.
In your user manual you should find a list of compatible drives that you should check. These drives are pretested and will work/fit.
If you search with Google you will find some online shops where you can buy it I think. Alternative you can also ask an authorized service provider directly, the guys know what drive is compatible:

Good luck! :)

Satellite A100 - sptd.sys blue screen error

Hello,
Hoping someone can be of help with this.
I have a Toshiba A100 with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
When I try to boot up my computer, I get a message saying windows did not start successfully.
I am given the options of:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration
Start Windows Normally
None of these options works. When I attempt Safe Mode, I get the following message:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition\Windows\system32. ...etc
This message repeats over and over again very fast, each time with a different .sys file at the end. Then, I get this message:
Press Esc to stop loading sptd.sys...
If I press escape, I get the following blue screen:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
The problem seems to be caused by the following file: sptd.sys
The driver mistakenly marked a part of its image pagable instead of nonpagable.
I dont know what to do except for using the product recovery CDs and reformatting, but I cant afford to lose some of the data on my computer, and this would wipe it all.
Has anyone had experience with this? Any advice?
It would be much appreciated.

Hi
Seems the OS system or the partition, where the OS has been installed, is corrupt.
I have no idea why this happened but there are many different reasons for that
Anyway I think you have no other choice as to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.
You would like to get access to the data on the HDD???
Well, you could remove the HDD from the notebook and could connect it as an external USB device to another computer. Then you should try to copy the data to another HDD.
That might help

Question on reinstalling DVD media software on a Satellite A100-049

When I first ran the System Restore on my Toshiba laptop it put these two on but I can see no way to reinstall them without restoring the entire drive back to when I first bought it. I still have WinDVD installed but have removed Ulead (I forget the exact name of the DVD Media software) and cannot now re-install it.
Would Toshiba send me a proper installation CD for these?
Thanks

Thanks. I was thinking that.
There's nothing wrong with the actual disc as far as I'm aware. There just appears to be no obvious menu when you run it from Windows. It restores perfectly fine. I wasn't sure if Toshiba would send me "normal" CDs for this software. I'm not after anything more than I get anyway.

Backing Up my DVDs to Media Center Library

Hi!
I'd like to backup my DVDs to my Media Center library, so they are safe and sound.
I have a handicapped son who is frequently in the hospital, and likes to watch movies on my laptop while there or waiting for doctors appointments. It would also be convenient to have them on my laptop for him, as well as just to keeping them safe from him! :-). BTW I'm using a HP Pavillion DV6-2190 with Media Center Windows 7.
Can anyone help me with what is the best way to get the DVDs into my Media Center DVD library? Also, it would be great if I could make copies of the DVDs so I can keep the original and give my son a copy in case he damages them.
Thanks for any help!
Lisa

Yes it is. Basically, what happened was, I plugged my phone into the computer, clicked transfer purchases after iTunes came up, it had the loading bar and the message said "waiting for changes to begin" or something along those lines. I just recently tried to transfer them again, it went farther this time but now it is just saying "waiting for items to copy"
I am signed in with the only account I ever use to purchase anything with.

Satellite A100-912: How can I obtain a Toshiba step by step upgrade DVD

I bought a Satellite A100-912 (with XP installed). Now I'm upgrading to Vista Ultimate. I don't have the Toshiba Step By Step Upgrade DVD; so how can I obtain (or buy) a copy of the DVD?

I bought the notebook after the date (15 Mar 2007) for redeeming the express upgrade DVD for Vista from Toshiba. In this regards, I bought an origiona OEM Windows Vista Ultimate to upgrade from XP. I want to install the Toshiba Softeware that was bundled with notebook and works with Vista and thats why I want the upgrade DVD...

Satellite A100-785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive issue

Hello Friends,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A100-785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:
1.87 Ghz C2D, 1 Gb Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...
Issue: Its been quite long, i m facing a certain problem with my Optical Drive. When ever I insert an CD which is originally produced by any company it works fine. The moment I insert any CD which is personally burned with some data from any normal CD/ DVD writer or the CDs which were previously created by the same laptop mentioned above, its been read as a blank disc. The data of the disk is not shown.
For eg: Lets say if I insert any software cd like my webcam's cd or my printer's cd they can be read normally and work fine. But the moment I enter any cd which is been burned by me which contains my personal files, that is been read as a blank disc.
This issue does not exists with any of the DVDs. Doesn't matter which every dvd I insert either being a normal software dvd or being the one which is burned as a personal data dvd, everything works fine and all the data in dvd can be read.
I have tried reinstalling the driver, I have tried reformatting my laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD provided with the laptop, but the issue still exists.
In between few months ago, I tried doing some tweak, like first i insert the cd in the drive and then disable the cd drive and then enabling it again would actually read the cd. But after few tries, this also stopped working.
Now I really have no idea what should I do to make my CDs work normally.
I hope this post can help me out.
Your help will be appreciated
Thanks for your precious time
Regards
Jeetendra

For me it sounds like a DVD, where the data has been burned, were not fully compatible.
I meet such issue on different computers. A friend of mine has had the similar problem with an non Toshiba notebook. Its matter of the disks which are used for burning.
I tested several brands and now Im using TDK and Verbatim because my CD/DVD drive supports these kind of disk properly.
Of course it could be an hardware issue too but in such case you will need to replace the CD/DVD drive

Media Center DVD 'Stutters' on MEGA 865

Hi
I am an IT professional, but I am a newcomer to the MEGA series PCs. I bought a MEGA 865 Delux for a 'computer newbie' friend as payment for a favour, and I am in the process of configuring it all now.
Spec is
MEGA 865 flashed to bios 1.2
MSI DVD Player DR8-A2 BIOS 1.6
NO TV CARD (yet)
Win XP PRO SP2
512MB RAM
Celeron 2.0GHz (yes I know, but I had a new one going spare, it'll do for now)
I have applied ALL latest drivers
I have applied ALL latest BIOS patches
Windows XP is fully patched up to SP2
I am currently running in 1024x764 Truecolour 70Hz mode.
Everything works great, my friend should be really pleased with it ... except
MEDIA CENTER III !!!
Now that was kind of the idea of buying the MEGA PC, my friend could use it with the remote control for DVD, Radio etc etc, but when I play a DVD using the media center it 'stutters', the video and sound are interrupted and it really is unwatchable.
Looking at the CPU resource is see that it is strained to 100% utilisation.
If I run the same DVD Movie with PowerDVD (came with the MSI DVD Drive), or even with Windows Media Player, it plays beautifully and the CPU is comfortably down at 40% utilisation. Unfortunately the remote seems to do nothing for PowerDVD.
Is anybody finding that the Media Center works great on their system? (if so, what's the secret?)
Has anybody else encountered similar problems to mine?
Does anybody know how I could fix the problem so that when I present this great new system to my friend as an expression of my gratitude, it is not 'flawed'?
Please help if you can, I would like to deliver the system in the next couple of days.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the advice everyone.
After much searching I found the elusive registry changes and applied them to my system. Unfortunately these changes made no discernable difference to the DVD playback.
While I appreciate that there are a number of Open Source projects in development (dependant on 'Girder', pay software that still does not appear to FULLY replace the advertised functionality of the Remote/LCD/Radio etc), and also alternative products that I could purchase, I do not feel that I should have to buy these to make my MEGA media center PC play DVDs.
It's not as if the inability to play DVDs is a minor issue in a Media Center. It's fundamental!!
If it will not work as a media center PC 'as supplied' then it seems to me that I should return it to the retailer and buy a 'Shuttle PC' for much less money. I could spend the savings (I reckon on about £70) on a better CPU or just pocket the difference. Features and software that do not work are of little use to anybody.
With all due respect to you all, if everybody who bought the system and had these problems returned it to the store as 'not fit for purpose' then I suspect MSI would have resolved the issue long ago. It seems to me that end user tolerance has resulted in MSI's indifference.
If I have no fix by Thursday then it's back to the store.
I have mailed MSI Tech Support, hopefully they will come up with something as the system looks great otherwise.
Still open to suggestions that do not include 'break up the CD' or 'buy this other software'.
Thanks
Steve

Can I use media buttons for Winamp on my Satellite A100?

Hi!
is it possible, that i can use the media buttons (play, stop, next, forward, ...) also for winamp or other players except windows media player???
I have Satellite A100 - 188.
Thx!
Dave

Hello Dave
As far as I know it is not possible. I have tried it with older notebook models but without success. It works just with Microsoft Media player.
For a long time ago Toshiba has had a small player installed on a few units (dont remember which notebook models) and it was possible to use them with this Toshiba designed player.
Bye

Low DVD and Media Center TV Vol

I am having a volume problem with DVD movies and Media Center, particularly TV. Sound quality and volume in other applications is great, but if I try to watch TV or a DVD at the same settings I can barely hear the audio.
I have a new Dell XPS 400, running Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and Dell 5250 5. surround speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you should also look through the TV@nywhere forum, applies to all MSI TV Tuners
i think the first thing you should do is update your TV tuner drivers...

Re: Satellite P - Windows Media Center issue

Without any visible virus problems or bug threats Windows Media Center starts to crack out in video release.
Simply random loosing pixels on a screen, and all other similar programs such as wmp, vlc media player, mv2 and Intervideo Win DVD working correctly?

I don't know what notebook model do you have exactly and what is wrong there but if you want to have well working Media Centre install OS using delivered recovery media.
After doing this it will work properly.
Maybe you have installed some codecs or some third part application that can have negative influence on WMC functionality. To be honest your posting doesnt offer some relevant info to this issue and it is not possible to say for sure what is wrong there.

Insignia 55" TV HDMI Media Center DVD Pixelated Picture

Been using a Win 7 64bit Media Center with Media Browser to watch DVD on a Zenith 32" HDTV through a Pioneer SX -821 receiver using HDMI cables from a Radeon 5670 graphics card on a quad core PC. Great picture but when hooking up a NS-55L260A13 with the same setup the picture is very pixelated, no blacks and poor quality. The Windows 7 desktop, IE 9, and the Media Browser images are crystal clear and vivid. Tried loading the Shark007 codex pack with no improvement. Any ideas?

These days, DVD is considered an inferior source. A larger TV will only magnify the poor attempts to scale the DVD source. One cannot fairly judge the quality of a display based on DVD playback.
