• Search for USB driver for Satellite Pro 460 CDT

  I own an old Satellite Pro 460 CDT including enhanced Port Replicator III (P1, 166 MHz), installed is Windows 2000 SP 4.

  Manager device shows me there is a problem with the USB controllers, there is an "unsupported NEC USB-to-PCI-Openhost-Controller", the driver has not been installed by Windows. Uninstall and new material research will not change anything.

  USB is necessary for the intended use.

  Then, is less for a driver job?

  Hi, Ralf

  Problem is that this device is not supported for Win 2000 and load on the Toshiba download page, you will not find anything. I know, this unit is about 10 years old and I think you expect a little too much of this good old classic.

  If you want to use with a maximum and preinstalled well performance install support OS Win 95. For Win 95, you will find all the drivers and tools on Toshiba download page.

• Microsoft says they can't help me. Failure possible HDD or bios.

  I'll start from the beginning and I'll try to be brief. The first question that's happened 3 weeks ago. I first noticed that I couldn't open my antivirus (malwarebytes). Once I started studying, I found I could not download anything (including USB) or access my hard drive in any way including the files that would be on my hard drive. as no adjustment. Thinking it was a permission problem, I found that I still had the same permissions that I always be admin. The drive no longer shows an owner and the hidden admin account can't do more than my normal admin. System Restore tells me I am missing a driver and cannot be restored. all the restore points are also nonexistent. Pierce only I had was I could download many things in safe mode. not after Microsoft has used remote access on my computer 3 days in a row they informed me that they could not solve the problem and they believe that it is the HDD or bios based according to diagnostic tests they received I've ever had the results to.

  Now this brings me here. I do everything on computers and tried but failed to update the bios. I checked the hard drive for physical problems that i didn't see no also no strange noises. EPSA came no defects anywhere on PC

  OK, so it's a bunch of information, I'll post my specs below, and I'll watch the thread if anyone has questions or possible solutions to this gaggle of problems.

  Computer: Alienware Aurora R4

  OS: Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

  BIOS: A07

  hard drive: seagate barracuda 3000Go

  Processor: intel i7-3820

  not sure if you need all this or something more.

  Did you search for malware?

  Have you checked the Device Manager for any item (s) material that can be reported?

  Since it works in Mode safe, it's clearly a software problem. So now that the files are saved on your laptop, you can wipe the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows.

• Satellite A60 does not detect Toshiba MK4025GAS HDD in BIOS

  Hello

  I've tried everything (updating the BIOS to 1.9, put a rider that cs, remove the DVD-ROM), but without success (by the installation of Windows XP, I see that drive, I can format it and copy the installation and startup system files failed).

  What is furious that this disk HARD 100% ok and work on Toshiba Portege 3500. I also tried an another HDD (60 GB IBM) to A60 and work correctly. Any ideas or is it just something religions?

  Best regards
  Oleg.

  Hello oleg

  This HARD drive is listed as compatible for this model of laptop, and it should work properly.
  One thing I don't understand. In the topic, you wrote that A60 cannot detect HARD drive but if I understand you right, you have access and you can format the HARD drive and also to start the installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Can you please be so kind and explain exactly what is wrong with the HARD drive.
  HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

• Vostro 460 - impossible to format HDD / secondary 3 - to

  I am trying to replace my 1 TB * secondary * hard drive with a 3 TB drive (my system drive is 500 GB).  I can't format the drive - error "the Volume Simple volume is currently in use.".  If I continue, the system hangs with BSOD.

  I have Win - 7 64-bit Ultimate. I was given the option to format GPT or MBR and I chose TPG and the partition has been created using the disk set.

  Disk management plugin displays:
  1 basic disk; 2794.39 GB; Online
  (F) 2794.39 GB GROSS
  Healthy (Primary Partition)

  It is a disc of 3 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 for use as a backup disk internal.  When I right click on the drive and choose format, I get the error "disk is in use".

  I would appreciate help get this disk formatted.

  I read that the AntiVirus software can be the cause of the error. These are processes which I think could be the cause of the problem:
  -Microsoft ForeFront Client Security (main AV)
  -Malwarebytes Anti-MalWare (side AV)
  -2012 Jersey Acronis

  If I disable the ForeFront and Malwarebytes, the same thing happens.
  I went into services and off all Acronis and also above AV software services and get always the same problem.

  Someone told me that I needed to UEFI, but I don't know how to tell if it's in the Vostro 460... and, why I have access to the option in the GPT format, and then have the whole disk partition appears in disk management?

• Satellite M40X-112: password of HDD in Bios

  Hello

  I have a laptop M40X-112. I activated the password for HARD drive in the BIOS. How safe is it? The HARD disk can be read in another PC? -What are the data encrypted on the HARD drive? Regardless of the method is used?

  This text has been translated by Google, I hope it's okay...

  Sincerely
  Holger

  Hello

  HARD drive password is stored in the drive itself.
  Thus, even the HARD drive unit is deleted from a computer and attached to the other, the HARD drive password is needed to access.

  _Here are some details: _

• Qosmio F60 - HDD and BIOS issues

  I have a Qosmio F60. 1 months since purchase, and I'm having problems. I organize my questions for a better look.

  (1) if there is a new BIOS update, should I put to update mine? Mine is currently on 2.10, and the last is 2.50! And I know the change log, because I can't find it anywhere. : S

  (2) if I'm in the MBR, where there are two options (Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux) and I press the ESC key. The screen goes black, and the laptop fan is running at full speed noisy. The same thing happens if I reboot/hibernate Ubuntu. Also, this sometimes happen to the instance that I push the power button to turn on the PC, but this is rare.

  (3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause. The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  (4) the BIOS I found (2.50) is for the model no: PQF65-E, while mine is PQF65-L. I ran the .exe, and he identified my current BIOS without any compatibility issues. Although I don't actually flashed the BIOS, because I want to question 1) answered first.

  Thanks in advance

  Well, if you have problems, then an update of the BIOS can be useful.
  Here you will find an instruction how to do this:

  Sorry mate, but as I know Linux is not supported by Toshiba. So I can't say about concerns generally Linux could react a little bit different as a windows OS and of course the cooling modules could run differently also.

  (> 3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause.

  In your case I would always back up data on another HARD drive or a disk to be always on the safe side.
  I mean the HARD drive can still die and it s better to have backups of backup.

• Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
  Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
  I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

  OH DEAR what a big mistake.

  Now the netbook won't start windows.
  So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
  Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

  Hello

  I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
  It's because of the SATA controller.
  You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

  So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

  -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
  Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

• Can not boot from HDD after bios update [Z510]

  Hello

  After the bios update, try to resolve everything by default, and then save. Then change the settings of date back to the time you have not yet updated to the bios. Save and exit.

  Because you don't want to initialize the network try to disable it in the bios.

• No property of BBS of HDD in BIOS

  I just received my brand new Alienware X 51 of Dell.com. The operating system of it's Ubuntu. I followed the instructions here: http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/04/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&docid=605872 to start

  The problem is when I select the DVD drive to start, there is that no recovery Dell out.

  After I have started and restarted my computer, it has a black screen with: Reboot or select boot device...

  I am aware that there is no "hard drive BBS properties" in my BIOS tab. But the ePSA shows all tests passed. Now I'm very confused.

  

• Issues of BIOS and HDD - Portege R830 passwords

  HI - looking for advice here.

  Have just updated the latest BIOS for my R830 - version 3.10 (EC version 1.20). Update went without a hitch.

  My fingerprint reader is kaput - and I will travel far for a while - so need to strengthen security on the laptop - so I put a password on the HDD via BIOS of thought.

  However, I'm having some problems - and would assess any help and advice.

  In the BIOS tab 'Security' - I have a number of choices. Password BIOS (user and supervisor), HDD1/SSD1 password (- only user, the User Mode + Master) and TPM (on, off).

  After searching for things - I think I should be leaving the password of the BIOS as "Unregistered", affecting the mode HDD1/SSD1 password user and TPM 'active '. This should then allow me 'register' a user password.

  I will then record a password - enter the password - and then another window opens for typing me any re-confirmation-what I do.

  But the password I use - I always get a message "passwords are not the same press ENTER to continue." Pressing continue brings me to the point in the BIOS where it says that the HDD1/SSD1 'User' password is not saved.

  You have to believe me - that even if my typing is not great - I type the same passwords. I even tried different types of passwords (digits only, single letter, mix of both)-nothing helped.

  I tried enable and disable TPM - again - no change.

  Any idea what's going on?

  Am I being a complete numpty - and forget to do something?

  I would like to know - because as it is, I'm going to travel with your laptop unprotected.

  Eeek.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend that you only set the password of the BIOS.
  This is the password that would initially require turning on the device.
  As far as I know the unknown BIOS password cannot be deleted by any user, but only by a Toshiba ASP. So it s a security option

  In addition the user password and the supervisor password can be set using the assistance of Toshiba.
  Check the tools of Toshiba in all programs-> Toshiba-> Utilities-> Toshiba Assist
  Here you have the tab called security

• Portege R100 - BIOS can't see 1.8 inch 2 GB PCMCIA HDD

  Hello
  I have laptop TOSHIBA PORTEGE R100, I wanted to reinstall win XP using PCMCIA HDD (MK2001MPL).

  It is easily detectable by Windows XP, but it is not detected by my BIOS v 1.3 (I changed the boot priority).
  I should mention that I formatted FAT32 and saved, copied, but it still does not work. Is it possible to start the PCMCIA HDD with BIOS, or I can use it just as internal HDD.
  There may be special driver or another method to solve my problem.

  Waiting for response, any advice would be helpful...

  Hello

  the problem is that the HARD drive is not supposed to act as a normal player. It s, more an extension and I'm not sure I have it would actually work in the BIOS as you describe.
  I think that it wouldn work because the HARD drive need a driver that is not given when just the BIOS is loaded. BIOS loads network PCMCIA cards, but I've never heard of a PCMCIA HDD which was used as a bootable disk. Maybe USB but no PC Card.

  IMHO, I think you should drop your thoughts on using the card as a bootable drive and use it as a normal internal memory expansion.

  In the opposite case: google is your friend :)

• Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

  I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
  It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

  I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

  Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

  I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

  What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems that EasyGuard a death/disabled the startup HARD disk or has infact wiped.

  I just tried booting from the XP CD to see if the partitions are intact - I can see two with [Unknown] where it should say NTFS... clearly something to do with the encryption of disk HARD/safety...

  Help, please! A quick response would be fantastic!

  Did you change or remove the password of HDD in BIOS?

  Maybe try to reset the BIOS defaults.

• Satellite A200 - 1 2 has no DRIVE in the BIOS

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A200 - 1 2 and I can not see the SATA HDD in bios, or start. I checked if the hard drive has the power and he has some, any other ideas?

  Hmm, you say that it does not appear in the BIOS?
  Try to start the A200 and check the operating system device manager.
  The HARD drive should be listed.

  By the way; I have a laptop with a SATA HDD too and in the BIOS homepage appears only as Toshiba MK1637GSX HARD drive name. Nothing mentioned about SATA.

  I imagine that the same details appear in the BIOS you.

  Good bye
