• Tecra 8100, upgrading the BIOS, whitch that hard drive is taken in charge (40 GB)?

  Hallo,

  I have an old Tecra 8100 one I want to update BIOS. Who knows who is supported (20 GB, 40 GB) hard drive and where can I find the specifications?

  Thanks for your information.

  Georg

  Hello

  As I m wrong not the Tecra 8100 does support an IDE HDD controller.
  In this case, it should be possible to use the 2.5 IDE HDD.

  I can't say much about the formats supported, but the fact is that the size of HDD supported depends on the HARD disk controller. The old controllers IDE up to what the ATA - 5 (also called Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra DMA/66) supported LBA 28 bits, which allows you to use the 120 GB HARD drive max.

  Since ATA - 6 (also called Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100), you can use IDE hard drives of more than 128GB.

  So if you want to, you can check your IDE HDD controller using a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition). Then you might find out what IDE controller is and what drives are supported.

• Satellite L40 - 14Y Bios Update with HARD drive empty

  I need to update the Bios of my Satellite L40 - 14Y / PSL48E-01F01UGR of Version 1.60 to 5.50 (for Windows XP). The HARD drive is _ * authorized/empty * _.

  My problem: the 'solution' as given

  [Http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

  is unreasonable/erraneous. The instructions provided in this site for the "traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy ' lead 'procedure 7" for a Satellite L40.

  7 procedure is however simply: copy the 5 files, such as listed in the respective "bios - 20080617131457.zip" zip file on the disk ("+ extracted the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS to a formatted floppy + '). This disk is - of course - _ * bootable * _ and its usage with the error message "NTLDR" not found as shall be provided.

  We know a solution to this problen other than the installation of an operating system for the current object of updating the Bios from an operating system?

  Additional note: the attempt to install the 5.50 Bios by running winflash.exe (which is the single executable in "bios - 20080617131457.zip") failed because it "does not in DOS mode. But he could start with a few other disk started micro operating system, such as, for example, Caldera back. We know something about that? The statement: "run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. .... . A BIOS update diskette will be generated"as given for other than blackness L40 laptops means that a * _bootable_ disk is"generated ". Other laptops with the same Bios 5.50 as the L40?

  Hi jetztkommich,

  Don t do so complicated: anything that can be downloaded from the Toshiba site, you will find. If there is that only a basic Windows Update the BIOS, you can run the update of the BIOS under Windows. I think that s easy to understand.

  As Al - Ex worte, you can try the update on a Windows disc packed with bart PE.

• HP mini 110 cannot use recovery discs - BIOS insists the hard drive test failed. Drive works on another computer.

  My niece has a HP mini 110 that does not have a day. Do a check of the hard drive in the bios, it failed (7 on playback). I though I should get a new one so I ordered another. While waiting for that to happen, I had access to a usb SATA bridge and the opperating system was beyond repair and the unreadable disk from HP mini, I decided to try to repair the disk. So I reformatted the old disk using my desktop computer. Windows had no problem with the drive and it seems to work very well.

  I also had to order the recovery disks (intro to windows 7).

  In any case try to reinstall using the recovery via the DVD USB drive disks. It kept coming back with error 17 - I found a hard drive error. I also tried to install with a Windows XP installation disc and it was more explicit hard drive it said it had NOT installed it - or "it does not match the sheet material for unity" (or words to that effect)

  To get the new hard drive - the same problem. Even if both of these drives operate as USB connected to my main desktop drives. SO my conclusion is that the BIOS start inspect the hard drive, check the configuration of the formatting. that is the size and the partitions etc. and when they do not correspond to the idea of BIOS of good care he rejects the hard drive and finds it is not installed.  Or maybe to do some files on the hard drive of base. Whatever it is, the bios concludes that there is no hard drive and will always return a "failed" to the hard drive of the bios test.

  Any ideas on that? I need to know exactly which partitions are expected by the bios. Does anyone have these specs, or maybe you have a mini HP and can examine your hard disk and tell me the amounts of partition and the size?

  Unless I can get the bios to recognize the hard drive, I don't see how I can reinstall the operating system on it. Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  HI David

  Well, I hope this is my last post here. I had already printed a return address for the recovery disks, being returned to the Netherlands. Just for the beggar of cast iron, however, I decided to try just once more would like to think that now that there is a kind of operating system on the hard drive it might work. But unfortunately still; no joy.

  All this time I would be considered may not be something wrong with the external hard drive because it was no problem to start the installation of XP. So I was just wondering maybe it does not receive enough power (it is a slimline portable DVD player that gets its power from a second usb) so I made a DVD player external adhock using an IDE hard drive enclosure (which has its own power supply and an old internal DVD burner I had put aside.

  To my surprise and joy; the HP mini started the recovery process. I am now watching reformat the windows partition and copy the files needed to restore the hard disk.

  So anyone with a similar problem to the HP mini not recognize the recovery disks is my advice; try an another external DVD drive, preferably one with its own supply of.

  Thanks for all your help and patience David.

• BIOS time consuming HARD drive start-up

  I have HP D530 machine with Intel 2.8 Ghz processor with 1 GB of Ram and 40 GB of HARD drive.

  I am facing problem is that when I turn on PC takes a long time to start a car then it start loading windows XP screen. Please suggest what I do?

  Make a backup of your important files while you still can!

  How many hard drives you have installed?  The drives are correctly identified in BIOS?  You say that it takes "time for any boot disk", you have more than one operating system installed?

  If the disks are shown correctly in the BIOS then looks like the hard drive may be faulty, or he has trouble reading sector 0.  Get a the manufacturer of hard disk drive diagnostic utility and check the health of the hard drive.

• BIOS lack internal hard drive boot option

  I had problems with my computer gives me an error message 'Operating system not found' on initialize toward the top.  I knew that my hard drive was almost at full capacity, so I decided to install a new hard drive with more capacity, a Seagate Momentus 500 GB.  From what I read he appeared as my computer to recognize the new hard drive automatically, but it does not only and does not initialize.  When I go to boot options in the BIOS Phoenix, he mentions only: F10 and F12 Delay (s) [0], CD-ROM Boot [Enabled], boot floppies [Enabled] and starting adapter [Disabled] internal network.  However, the boot order lists: portable hard drive USB floppy, ATAPI CD/DVD ROM, USB disk on key, USB hard disk drive, and! Network adapter.  Would it be the BIOS Boot Option which is at the origin of the new hard drive is not being recognized?  I can't find where in the BIOS I can add this option in, or so that it can detect the new hard drive.

  When I put my Vista recovery disc in, it will load, but when I select Yes for "reset your system to factory settings" and it starts to reformat the hard drive Windows partition, it returns immediately with error '0x400110020000100A '.

  Anyone can shed some light on this problem?  Any help is appreciated!

• Help pass the hard drives of a scsi controller to another scsi controller!

  Hello

  I deployed a cluster of virtual machines from a template and trying to customize them according to the requirement. I called one of the post and used the code below. Changed the settings of the virtual machines, but the image is corrupt all the time.

  # get the virtual computer object

  $vmVMSTORE23 = get - VM VMSTORE23

  # a thin in the storageformat of hard disk

  $vmVMSTORE23 | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - thin StorageFormat

  # define the type of SCSI controller

  $vmVMSTORE23 | Get-SCSI controller. Set controller SCSI-type VirtualLsiLogicSAS

  I tried the other way, adding a new scsi controller and move the existing hard disks to the new controller scsi. A hard disk created along deployment of a model does not again move scsi controller and vm tries to start node scsi 1:0 and no node scsi 0:1. This is the snap of code I used

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} Name - CapacityGB 1 - Datastore (Get-Datastore $_.) (Magasin de données)-persistence IndependentNonPersistent-confirm: $false} (disc 2)

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} {Name - DiskType $_.rawtype - Devicename $_ .rdm1 - confirm: $false} (Disc 3)

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} {Name - DiskType $_.rawtype - Devicename $_ .rdm2 - confirm: $false} (drive 4)

  $disk = $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {Get-disk hard - VM $_.} Name | Select the option - 4 first}

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-SCSI - HDD controller $disk - type $_.} Type}

  Someone please help me with this.

  Thanks in advance

  SAI

  What I wanted to say, create a new hard drive with the new type of controller.

  Like this

  $vmName = "TestVM"$VM = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  New-HardDisk -VM $vm -CapacityGB 1 -ThinProvisioned | New-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
  

  Then restart the virtual machine and the guest operating system must take care of the driver.

  Once the driver is installed in the guest operating system, you can move the hard disk that contains the system partition to the new controller.

  $vmName = "TestVM"$VM = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  $controller = Get-ScsiController -Name "SCSI Controller 1" -VM $vmyGet-HardDisk -VM $VM -Name "Hard disk 1" | Set-HardDisk -Controller $controller -Confirm:$false
  

• Satellite Pro A110 - in BIOS exclamation Point in front of the HARD drive

  Satellite A110 Pro PSAB1C-GM80XE

  Question is this. SATA CONTROLLER TOAST the laptop?

  Story.

  It seems as if the laptop hard drive has failed.
  Prior to the laptop, it would get BSOD.
  It would, however, go back to windows XP.

  After that, sometimes it wouldn't restart, he would try to boot from lan as if there is no hard drives.
  I check the bios.

  There is a! in front of the model of the drive. I can't change it, reset default does not change.
  No update of the bios was already made.
  Page drivers laptop says I have to install the update to the bios from windows xp... I can't do it of course.

  I bought a new hard drive for the laptop. WD Scorpio Blue (pretty standard) 160Gig

  The laptop recognize model to drive hard in the bios, but once again with the exclamation point in front of the name of the template.

  BIOS can see, but nothing else. No windows CD is able to watch the HD.

  Once again, it is the sata controller or can someone point me to an update of the bios I can do with a USB key.
  Should I just throw the laptop in the trash? I expect to give it a new life with a new hard drive and own bones.

  Hello

  What is the BSOD STOP Code?

  If 0x0000007B, it means that Windows cannot find a SATA driver for the SATA controller. To solve this BSOD, set the SATA Mode in the BIOS in "COMPATIBILITY" mode, or use a USB floppy with the SATA driver on this subject during the installation of Windows. Press F6 when you are prompted to install a 3rd party storage driver.

  Or otherwise, to use the original Toshiba Recovery disk to install Windows.

  I do not mean the exclamation point in the BIOS that the HARD drive is faulty, it means that the HARD drive has the highest priority boot on my laptop.

• Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

  My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
  Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
  Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

  Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
  But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

  Hello

  Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
  You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

  I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
  Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

  On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
  The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
  Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
  Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
  and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

  REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

  REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

• Tecra S1 - Bios does not detect HARD drive

  Hi, first time poster, long drive date.

  I have a friends laptop with me an old S1, its hard drive has failed. (Even tried it on my USB adapter to diagnose).

  I had another IDE HDD which works like a dream.
  I can even install Windows up to a point with the exception of when the computer wants to do the first restart of the second phase of the installation. (Not on CD).

  In the bios the HARD drive is not detected a 0 MB for the read command.
  I tested the USB HARD drive. So works perfectly. will try another hard drive there tomorrow see what is happening.

  I tried the recovery CD aswell. But she also can not detect the hard drive.
  Finally, I even reflashed the Bios even if it was the last version 2.50.
  Still did not change.

  If I'm just at a loss here. Tomorrow I'll do the following.

  Try a 3rd HDD IDE into the machine.

  Opening of the case and see if I can find the CMOS battery to replace or remove for a minute or 2 to see what is happening.
  Is obviously a problem of bios of the HARD drive is detected. Has anyone ever encountered this before?

  Windows / ERD Commander / Partition Magic 8 all finding the end hard drive.
  Thanks for listening to my dribble that I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall being close.

  Kind regards

  Dave

  What drive did you use and what size it it?
  I think that not all HARD drive would be compatible because of the 28-bit LBA.

  The 28-bit LBA supports hard disks up to 128GB and if the IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA then it may happen that more large drives would not be recognized by the BIOS.

• Qosmio G20 - XP doesn't see second HARD drive, but the BIOS is

  Hello

  Mylène for the long post - but think if give good info, I poss of correct answer:

  After the crash of QOSMIO G20... managed to reinstall of XP Recovery DVD-ROM. Immed after, looked at the config with Win Explorer and two hard drives all present and correct. even copied a picture of my images on the D: drive, just to make sure that all aok.

  Then downloaded SP3 and tried to install - it reported failure and then shut down the PC. After attempts to get again - until finally resorted to reuse the Recovery DVD-ROM.
  Come back XP again - but now, while the BIOS sees two hard drives (reports size, Fab details, etc.), as far as Windows is concerned, it does not exist.

  Tried to initialize in disk management - no sign there.
  He was then released, put it in a shopping cart, connected to the office and initialized and formatted - then returned to mobile... zilch!

  Your kind suggestions and recommendations could save just the remaining strands terrified of hair of a violent end...

  A lot of TIA
  Logis

  Hello House,

  Normally, if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive, but not Windows, this means that the HARD disk is not formatted, but it must be visible under the Windows disk management.
  You see it now?

  If not it is not easy to say what the reason are you should try load default settings in the BIOS and save it. Then start Windows and check if HDD is visible there too.

  In the worst case, it s that a malfunction of the HARD disk controller, but what you can test if swap you the two drives and put them in another location.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Re: M100 change HARD drive

  Hello

  I have an 'old' Portege M100 and I suspect a broken HARD drive. The laptop freeze suddenly and sometimes crash with a blue screen. Most of the time it will not start at all. I managed to reinstall XP with my recovery CD twice, without change.
  I would like to change the HARD drive, but I read somewhere that the BIOS is actually on the HARD drive itself. Is this true? If so, how can I swap the HARD drive then? I also fear that changing the HARD drive will make inoperative recovery CD?

  Don't want to lose the M100 ;)

  Hello

  As mentioned, the BIOS is stored on the ROM chip which is part of the motherboard.
  To update the BIOS ROM module must be flashed.

  The other thing is that the replacement of the HARD disk is not really complicated.
  To my knowledge, you need the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
  Bay drive HARD bottom of the unit and it s fixed with screws.
  If you remove the cover of the HARD drive Bay, you can easily remove the internal HARD disk.

  In some cases, it s in the cradle and you need remove the extra screws (2 on each side) so of to withdraw his support.

  See you soon
