Can satellite U50t-A10F - I use partition 7 GB on SSD for Ubuntu

U50t-A10F has a SSD (32 GB) and a (750 GB) HARD drive.

The partition on the SSD drive information show 7 GB allocated and him remains unaffected.
Is this "unallocated" section used for something else, or I can use it to install part of the Ubuntu root file system.

I read that on Windows, the SSD is used as a form of cache extended using a falseraid implemented.

So, is it more a "unallocated" partition a part of and GPartEd simply do not correctly identify?
He even appears in the windows "Drive Manager".

Hello

I can't say I don't know this model but I have seen and tested similar configurations on the U940 and U840.
The two had a HARD drive and an additional 32 GB of SSD used for Windows OS-specific reasons and no palpable by the user somehow normal.
Only a part of the DSS has been used and the rest was empty but totally in "empty."
It was due to the specificity of the soft raid configuration.

So as long as the raid - the installation program has been left as what, the SSD was not usable for anything other than swap/put into hibernation.

If you don't mind tthings "break", it's pretty easy to remove the raid configuration that will allow the use of the SSD...
However, be very catious! Although it is easy to remove the RAID seup, is not at all easy to restore it!
Reconstruction of the raid on the U840 and U940 need attention ASP which will cost money.

  • How can I get Mozilla to use the name of the page for the name of the real instead of the URL bookmark when I bookmark a page

    I just noticed that (in comparison to Internet Explorer): in IE, when you preferred a Web page, it uses the actual name of the Web page (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the name of the bookmark), but in Mozilla, it uses the URL as the name of the bookmark. I was wondering if it was possible to change my Mozilla settings so that it uses the name of the Web page as the bookmark name instead of the URL? I hope that everyone understands what I am getting? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

  • Can satellite L350 - 20G - I use the keys function for iTunes?

    I have a L350 - 20G.
    Is it possible to get the funcion of buttons at the top of the laptop (play/pause stop; back; before) to work with iTunes?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    As far as I know, you can only configure the first button that starts the application (iTunes).
    The other buttons you mean like play, stop and pause can t be configured. There is no tool to Toshiba for this available.

    I don't use iTunes, WinAmp you can configure the functionality of the button but I put t know if iTunes allows you to adapt these settings too.

  • Can I download, activate, and use Adobe Cloud on 2 SSD on the SAME computer?

    Hello-

    I have an Early 2009 Mac Pro with two separate disk with operating system drives bootable. A bootable disk drive is for general use.  This disc also contains the program Adobe cloud and all downloaded programs. The other (new) disk drive is ONLY dedicated to my audio and video programs and is kept clean and well optimized. However, I still have to download Adobe Cloud on it. So here's my question. Can I store and use Adobe cloud and all its programs on TWO startup disk drives located on the SAME computer? Obviously I can only boot to a hard drive at a time. (Eventually, I'll remove Adobe Cloud & programs on the bootable disc General once I am convinced that everything is installed and configured correctly on the second, devoted by car.)

    Thank you.

    Number of activations of CC is based on the Machine ID & the Adobe ID, with which it is connected.

    So, I think that if the machine ID is same & Adobe ID is same so you can use CC on even 2 SSD from the same computer.

    It would be preferable to the expert opinion by contacting the Adobe Support via Contact Customer Care.

  • Can satellite A210-1AO - I use SSD drive?

    Can I replace the original HDD with ssd HARD drive? And where can I found the DSS Satellite A210-1AO drive compatibility list?

    I doubt you can find a list of the SSD compatible discs for Satellite A210 since the Satellite A210 where not tested and not equipped with these drives
    But as far as I know, there is not much difference between the use of the common SATA HDD or SSD SATA drive.

    As mentioned, the laptop supports the SATA controller and you can use an SSD designed for SATA controllers
    Usually this SSD drive should be ok.

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  • Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

    My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

    Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

    Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

    All advice welcome please.

    Hi mate,

    I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

    In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

    What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Can satellite P300-20R - I use the latest drivers from site Web AMD/ATI?

    I got a Satellite P300-20R now I want to update the video card drivers - ATi HD4650.

    Can I use the latest Catalyst for the mobility card that I find on the AMD/ATi website, and what is the procedure?

    Toshiba drivers are tested and adapted for certain graphics cards. Driver Toshiba will not force the graphics card to run the highest level and therefore protect laptop from overheating.

    On my Satellite P300, I use Windows 7 32 bit and driver Toshiba. It runs stabile and I'm happy with it.

    To be honest I don t want to use ATI driver and unfortunately cannot give you an answer to your question.

    Hello

    Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

    Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

    Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

  • Re: Can Satellite A100-499 - I use Kingston HyperX DDR2-667 RAM?

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-499 with chipset Intel 945 PM and with 1 GB of RAM at 533 Mhz (this is the memory that came by default when it was purchased). I want to upgrade the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz and I saw two Kingston hyperx 2 GB DDR2 - 667 PC2 - 5300 CL4 (KHX5300S2LLK2 / 4G).

    I ' w concerned about the compatibility of this memory with my laptop. Memory that is shown in my laptop (KT667D2 / 2G) in the site web of Toshiba is also kingston and technical specifications are similar, but time lag case which I've not been able to verify. I'm looking for the forum and it seems that Toshiba laptops are very delicate with the memory.

    Did someone knows or has had experience with this combination? I don't want to spend the money to have to sell it later.

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can also use the Kingston HyperX modules. They are very similar to the normal Kingston modules, but they are a little faster. Certain times are may be lower, but this should t be a problem because it will be set automatically from the BIOS.

    A good friend of me always is the HyperX modules for its notebooks and there has never been a problem.
    In the worst cases the modules don't work, that you can bring it back to the computer store and ask Kingston normal modules.

    Hello

    Hmm generally, it shouldn't be a problem since the P100 supports a SATA HDD controller.
    To be honest I n t have an SSD and I can't say that an SSD can work properly, but theoretically it should not be a problem because the BIOS shouldn't differences between a common SATA HDD or SSD SATA.

  • Can satellite P30-133 - I use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro?

    Hello

    Is it safe to use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro model P30-133? There is some question in aluminium.
    I'm not sure of the cooler which is set up as a standard in this model. Aluminium coolers are not suitable.

    Hello!

    I doubt that ASP uses the cheapest stuff on the market. I think they use the same thermal grease like Toshiba and it is pretested. I never had problems with the cooling on my Toshiba laptop. The fan only works if the CPU is in use, but that's normal, because otherwise the laptop is overheating.

    Anyway, Coollaboratory Liquid Pro is theoretically 9 times better as other thermal grease, but in practice, it of only up to 5 ° C better. In addition it can t be used on aluminum coolers.
    The Arctic Cooling MX2 and it's a little better than the Arctic Silver 5. In addition it of cheaper and easier to use and remove. I also use it.
    Check it! You will be surprised of the Arctic Cooling MX2.
