Call Toshiba tech support. I don't think there is much you can do. But:

When did this start happening? Was it after something you did, or just random? All I can think of is maybe that's the error it gives for no OS, or hardware is bad.

It's a laptop - it might be difficult to find the other end of the cable.

IDE #1 is the CD/DVD drive. Toshiba laptop is often incompatible with std. CD/DVD drive and some modification/setting has to be changed to make it work if you try to use std. (Sony, TEAC, LiteOn etc...) drive as replacement for Toshiba one. I even got the exact same model TEAC drive to replace the one which had died in the Toshiba but got same error, I need to solder two pins or change BIOS or such to make it work.

p.s. the reason I replied to this old post is that it shows up near the top of google search and I want to help whoever might search for "IDE #1 Error" to understand what is the cause.

i have the same prob:
old teac out, new one in (same one) -> IDE error
old one BACK IN - > also IDE Error now that was not there before.

Toshiba site and support is crap, some other partner meant that
a) IDE controller could be dead (why is then my HD still working?)
b) the drive connection could be not 100% (but it has power and opens etc.)

i can not flash the new drive to slave cause it is not recogniced at my laptop, i dont have an adaptor to connect to desktop. but even if i could flash it right, like my old drive is already, it would not be recogniced i guess....

what do u think?

bios settings are not accessable (on my toshiba satellite pro 2100 and i dont know how to check if the IDE controller is broken or how to read errors out of it)
do I need to solder two pins in my cd drive and everything would be (slave) better?

thanx for all answers (if there are any )
