Satellite M50-161: After reinstalling XP, OS lost the DVD/CD Drive

Hi, I have a Satellite M50-161 notebook. Since loading Windows XP professional I have lost the driver and cannot copy to CD, but it will play back. How can I restore the Driver so as to copy!

Hi
As far as I know you dont need any driver for DVD drive installation. Is your DVD drive listed in device manager and also shown in Windows explorer?

    Before doing a Reset (which will wipe out a whole lot of things that you have to reenter) check to make sure the Contacts app didn't simply get pushed to another page by the addition of the Newstand app to the first homescreen.

  • Format the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X if i have lost the dvd's

    Hi
    I own a 2011 macbook pro 17" and it my disk is almost full so the computer is frezzing all the time and stuff. So i thought of formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS but i can't find the dvd's that came with it and i'm really not sure if there were any dvd's that came with it. Why do I do?
    I have a friend who has a 2011 macbook pro 13". Will his dvd's work on mine?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Reduce data off of it so it's less than 80% filled, use a external drive.
    That's all you need basically.

  • After gtk2 upgrade, i lost the gtk engine appearance

    hi all,
    Yesterday i do the following upgrades:
    [08/01/06 22:50] starting full system upgrade
    [08/01/06 23:15] upgraded eject (2.1.2-2 -> 2.1.5-1)
    [08/01/06 23:15] upgraded gtk2 (2.8.20-1 -> 2.10.1-1)
    [08/01/06 23:15] upgraded gtk-engines (2.6.7-1 -> 2.6.10-1)
    [08/01/06 23:15] upgraded librsvg (2.14.4-1 -> 2.14.4-2)
    [08/01/06 23:15] upgraded libwmf (0.2.8.4-2 -> 0.2.8.4-3)
    [08/01/06 23:15] upgraded ppp (2.4.4-1 -> 2.4.4-2)
    But now, i lost the gtk style appearance (none of my styles works).
    Anybody can help with this problem?

    Personally, I wouldn't recommend doing that.  Just rebuild rezlooks against gtk2-2.10.x to keep things consistant.
    In this case it's a completely valid solution, as the API between 2.4 and 2.10 hasn't changed for theme engines. The only thing that has changed is filechooser plugins, which is why they bumped.
    The only problem I would have with this solution is that pacman doesn't know about the new files anymore, but if you're hacking around anyways, the filelist in /var/lib/pacman could be updated to match the new location aswell

  • I had to reinstall iTunes and lost the library, so I used what I had on my hard drive, but I have much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes library. If I synch now will it delete all that extra music from my iPod?

    I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • After Mavericks upgrade I lost  the current I Movie project I was working on.  All that is left is the video clips, no photographs, music, transitions or titles. Three weeks work gone!

    I upgraded to Maverick from Mountain Lion.
    I also upgraded the various Apple Software applications that appeared after the upgrade to the operating system.  I opened I Movie to continue work on a project I was working on and as requested I allowed I Movie to update the projects  to allow it to work with the upgrade.
    As it was doing this a dialogue box came up showing an error had been encountered and advised me to quit I movie.  I did this and when I reopened it the project I had been working on had lost all of the photographs, music, transitions and titles.  All that was left were the thirty-seven video clips and nothing else.  Where has all my work gone and how can I retrieve it.

    It should still be on your backup drive. Try reimporting it.

  • After formatting I have lost the Ilife soft

    How can I recover the I life soft lost after formatting due to virus?
    Keyboard is losing keys' paint

    Wowowowow...
    ...formatting due to virus?
    What virus??? You could become famous as you'll be (one of) the first having one on a Mac!
    Keyboard is losing keys' paint
    As a result of the 'virus'? Or are you hoping that iLife will bring the paint back, too?
    Anyhow...
    How can I recover the I life soft
    It probably came with your Mac when it was new. As you seem to have received it with Snow Leopard installed, you should have some media from which you can install it.
    If not, you'll need to purchase it from the App Store.

  • Serial Number Problem after Updating to 9, lost the 8 Serial...

    Hello,
    I have Logic Studio Pro 9 Update running on my main studio machine. Now I have accidentally thrown away the Logic 8 serial (the manual, and yes, I did not write down the serial), and I only see the Logic Studio 9 Pro Serial in the installed programm version.
    Now I want to install on another (2nd) machine (yes, in a different network - at home) but I can't install because I only have a Logic 8 CD...
    What can I do?
    Can I get a Logic 8 serial number if I can proof that I have the Logic 9 update ?
    Thanks, best regards,
    Marky

  • Formatted mac mini (mid 2010) - need to reinstall and have lost the original discs, Formatted mac mini (mid 2010) - need to reinstall and have lost the original discs

    Hi guys I have a mac mini mid 2010 that I stupidly reformatted the hard drive to give it to a friend, thinking it would be easy to reinstall - I haven't got the original system discs cause again I'm dumb!!!!!!!!! And I am struggling to get it reinstalled, what is the best method to install this? Would a 10.6 retail version run?

    1. Phone Apple Support and order replacements.
    2. Only if it's newer than the computer.

  • After upgrading to CS5 lost the backspace key...

    Sorry, but could not find a thread with this annoyance.
    Simply, this key dissapeared and to delete a frame I need now to use the cut key...
    Thank you.

    I think you need to keep dreaming
    I'm not a programmer, but from looking at my own files, here's what I think happens:
    If you copy your shortcuts file into the CS5 folder, you will lose any of the CS5shortcuts that are not included in it. For instance, there is a shortcut for selecting the Gap tool in CS5, and that's not in the CS4 shortcuts. So, if you use your CS4 shortcuts, you'll lose those keys.
    I'm guessing that when you make a custom set from the InDesign dialog box, it copies all of the default shortcuts into that set, and then adds or changes whatever you add or change. But if you start from a CS4 shortcut set, you will lose some of the default settings. So, you need to start with a CS5 shortcut set, and then add or replace your own shortcuts. Unfortunately, this will be tedious because you want to make sure that anything you add replaces the corresponding shortcut from the default settings. So you can't just paste them all in at once.
    I guess this is why there is no "load shortcuts" button . . . I bet someone knows a way to compare the two files and look for lines where the <action-id value= . . . lines match up. Then you could copy and paste those. But this may be more trouble than it's worth.
    The other option is to just print out a list of all your shortcuts and then go back and recreate them in Indesign. Probably the safest  bet - but, if Adobe wants us to upgrade every 18 months, it would certainly be nice if they gave us a better way to do this!

  • Satellite Pro M30, Is it recommended to install the new display driver from nVIDIA?

    I own a Satellite Pro M30 notebook, which includes a GeForce FX Go5200 GPU made by nVIDIA. On July 27, nVIDIA released a new driver and related software (version 61.77) which, as stated by nVIDIA, fits all its GPUs.
    I tried to install this new driver on my notebook (after removing the old driver as instructed by nVIDIA) but it does not install. Does somebody have any idea why?
    Why isn't the new driver posted on Toshiba's driver support site for this notebook?

    Hi
    All drivers are designed and tested for the notebooks and Tom is right about depending on notebook producer. That means that you can find all necessary drivers on Toshiba download page.
    As far as I know Toshiba supports the drivers delivered with the unit and updates drivers if needed.
