• My TV does not read HARD drive Toshiba 3.0

  I ask excuseme for my English! I'm Italian...

  I have a drive hard toshiba 3.0,.
  My samsung TV to the beginning to 'read' my hard drive, but then the TV does not recognize and I so format, losing my saved videos!

  What is the problem?

  Maybe you should check the user manual s TV for more information on the format of file or the support of hard drives.
  I know in many cases, the hard drives or flash memory sticks must be formatted using TV to get the file format supported special that can be read by the TV.
  I think it's kind of right to privacy with the movies recorded could not be edited on computer.

• Set password Linux ATA hard drive / Toshiba Satellite Pro U200

  Sorry for the long post, but I want to be as specific as possible:

  1)
  I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 under Linux (OpenSUSE) for some years now. Works fine without problems so far, even the fingerprint reader works. I deleted and never used the Windows XP preinstalled.

  For security reasons, I have now decided to put a HDD ATA password, in case the laptop is lost or stolen (changed drive for a disk Seagate Momentus 7200 FDE.2 SATA II with full encryption of the disk material).

  In order to get the protection offered by the full disk encryption, I need to set a password for the ATA. During startup, the Bios must request the password and unlock the drive only when the password is correct.

  2)
  My problem is: in the Toshiba laptop it is impossible to set the hard drive ATA password directly in the bios (as is possible in HP laptops, for example). Toshiba there is only one way to set the password to disk, which is a software utility for Windows XP (named 'Assist'). But I don't want to change the operating system only to set this password.

  3)
  Therefore, I tried the linux instructions

  hdparm - user-master m - security-all-pass SecretMasterPassword/dev/sda
  hdparm - user-master u - security-all-pass SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

  which are used for adjustment ATA passwords. Indeed, at first, it seems to work very well. The password is set and the drive is locked.

  4)
  When I restart the laptop, the Bios the HDD password request, as it should do.

  But he does not accept the SecretUserPassword prior to seizure. The answer is "wrong password", or similar.

  5)
  Analysis:

  I have no doubt that the password has been set correctly: I checked by restarting the laptop through rescue DVD in linux and unlock the disc via

  hdparm - user-master u - safety - unlock SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

  in order to use it. No problem, it works as supposed to. After the release, the disc is usable as usual. And I can also disable the password via

  hdparm - user-master u - security - disable SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

  After you disable the password, the laptop starts normally again, but I have no password.

  When I re-enable the password bios Toshiba again asks the password during initialization, but does not accept the (correct) password on entry.

  6)
  Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior?

  Bios Toshiba has somehow changes the password entered by the user, before being sent to the disk? I think that this would be inconsistent with the ATA standard.

  Anyone managed to set/change the password to ATA in a way that the disc can be unlocked via the internal order of the Bios, without installation of Windows XP and the Toshiba Software 'Assist '?

  Thanks for reading this long post so far. Any response is welcome.

  Hello

  As you probably know Linux is not supported by Toshiba and if you n t get some good advice here I recommend you to visit a few Linux forums and try to discuss with experts in Linux it.

• External hard drive Toshiba without being detected in Windows 7

  I have toshiba drive hard 500 GB and I use very long in my pc, but to this day used to my hard drive detected by my computer, but looks like that my hard drive is detected in my laptop and its good. I used several solution, but I can't find one that works for me:------(including uninstall them the drivers) here a few images when I use to fix it but I can not find my hard disk in disk management, but it has been detected in my device manager. Please help T.T #Sorrybadenglish

  I suggest do you a normal shutdown/reboot and check again.

  Doubtful it has nothing to do with drivers.

  We will need some information more and clarified:

  1. Makes you think of a hard drive is not detected?
  2. Is the Toshiba drive listed in Device Manager, the main drive to the computer or is it an external drive connected?
  3. Is the above display on another computer?

• 'Read only' external hard drive Toshiba

  After the update to El Capitan yesterday, my drive toshiba external hard now only gives me permission to "read only". How can I fix it?

  How the hard drive is formatted?

  If it is formatted to NTFS, it is likely that your third-party software installed to write NTFS must be updated to El Capitan.

• How to format external hard drive Toshiba PX1266E - 1 25 (250 GB)?

  Hi all

  I'm hard to re-formatting my Toshiba drive HARD from FAT32 to NTFS. I read instruction manual, troubleshooting and FAQ too: I've disabled my antivirus and connected my HARD drive without expansion card. The result is the same: the message "Unable to complete the format".
  You know that when you connect the HARD drive, a virtual CD called "password" begins. Is it possible that it is causing the problem? Can I remove it?
  With partition magic, the drive is signed as BAD. He asks me if I want to format the HARD disk to restart the computer, but when he starts an error occurs. I also tried with dban, but it does not work.

  So, what can I do?
  A big thanks to all the world. (Sorry for my English, I hope that my problem is clear).

  Hi Ivan_2,

  activation/deactivation has no influence until the password is not removed.
  When a password encrypted partition/disk needs to be formatted, you will need to remove the password.
  I think there is a tool to reformat the drive, but you will lose all files...

  AutoPlay is a feature of your operating system > activate in the device properties...

  hardware stores the password and governs what is written on the drive - no disc operation is allowed also formatting is not possible.

  to recover your files:
  mount the drive and turn on the password and delete before writing to disk
  After that, you should be able to access all of your files.

  the virtual drive you can see might be the operating system that manages the 'password-thing ".

  reset the password should do the job too, but you lose all the files on this disc.
  refer to the manual and make sure that the options are possible.

• Need advice on replacing hard drive Toshiba

  I have other manufacturers with a 60 GB MK6021GAS HDD Toshiba laptop. According to me, the hard disk is endangered and I want to shoot anything on the restore disc to another new. I need everything from the disk because the OS image is one that has been charged by the company, with that I have a contract and apparently the standard that came with the laptop is not compatible with their applications that I have also loaded on the laptop.

  I don't want to travel more than 100 miles in business COMPUTING of offices to have another OS loaded on the new drive I did not, so what I guess I want to do is to create an accurate picture of the existing drive, then restore the image to the new drive when I get it.

  I tried to make an image of the disc using Paragon exact Image 7 SE, but download from the failed hard drive on a dump of DVD disc fails consistently, after copying 1.6 Go Go 8,32, the statement that the hard drive is damaged.

  Another piece of software, Active SMART also reports that of the disk failure is imminent, reporting a status of 'Bad' for this disc. I have run chkdsk many times over the past months on the hard drive and on a few occasions, he isolated the defective sectors. So, everything indicates that the days of the disk being really numbered.

  I want to be able to do is buy another unit of MK6021GAS HDD and get all the files from that defective to the new without having to reload the operating system, data software application etc.

  Is this possible? If Yes, what is the best way? How can I get all of the disc if this software Paragon doesn't let me extract everything? Any advice greatly appreciated.

  Thank you
  Phil.

  Hi Phil,

  Your problem seems to be that certain parts of your drive hard existing cannot be read and thus your attempts to copy the data on the drive will fail. You will need to use a suitable backup utility must take into account segments on your drive so that you can get a copy of safety as much as possible your system.

  I know that Norton Ghost has the option to ignore bad sectors when you take a backup (I myself have used in the past). You could then do a restore of the magnified image to a new disk, but if ignored bad sectors were in a critical area of the operating system, then you still have problems after restoring.

  Alternatively, you can copy both of your personal folders as possible to an external support and then reinstall your OS from scratch even if obviously would need you a valid drive of installation/recovery of Microsoft (or OEM). You can then restore your personal files.

• Re: Boot from external USB HARD drive Toshiba 320 GB (MK3259GSX)

  I have PC (Windows7, SATA HDD, without CD/DVD drive), netbook and Toshiba External USB HDD 320 GB (MK3259GSX). Can I boot from the USB HDD? (to install OS or diagnostic tools like Memtest, MHDD etc..)

  I tried:
  1 format USB HDD, create the FAT32 partition and make active, copy the files, for example, ISO image of Windows 7 (I also tried bootsect/nt60), but when I reboot and choose from the menu of boot USB HDD it stops after "Verifying DMI pool data".
  2 Grub4dos (http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page), but also had nothing after verifying DMI pool Data given.
  3. If you want to install Windows 7, I tried this tool, http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool, but it did not find my USB HDD.

  Sorry for my English.

  Has your computer laptop USB boot option?

  Anyway, is unclear to me that you can use this disk external DRIVE for the installation of the OS?

• Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

  Hello

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

  I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

  I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

  And the help is very appreciated.

  Thanks and regards,
  Dinesh

  Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

  A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

  Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

• Clicking on Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive

  Bought my external hard drive Toshiba Canvio black 1 TB in July, and a few days ago I heard / felt continuous clicking. I've been more than prudent with my drive, never give up, tilting ever and never disconnect when the light flashes. Somehow I could possibly revive? Sometimes after I have unplug it and plug it back, there is no clicking for an hour and my files are readable, but then he starts up with the clicking again

  Hello

  You should be troubled if the HARD drive starts making strange noises.
  It could be a first sign of a HARD disk crash.
  On the other hand, my HARD drive clicks also but not always it happens sporadically
  I couldn't find a reason for this, but I created some backups to be on the safe side.

  I think that you must back up the data too.

• Satellite 2800 - BIOS does not recogize Toshiba 40 GB HARD drive

  I have an old Toshiba S2800 (if-200 questions in total). He was works very well with a 10 GB HARD drive for ages. Yesterday, I thought that putting his hard drive to a bigger.
  Removed the old and installed a new hard drive, Toshiba MK4026GAX. On the power on the BIOS does not detect the HARD drive at all. I can hear the humming noise (platter (s) rotating), but apart from that, there is nothing. The BIOS indicates disk mode HARD is "unused" and also on page 2 is none shown on the primary hard disk IDE channel. (tried to boot Linux from a CD to see if who sees anything on the IDE channel, but apparently the primary IDE channel is disabled if the BIOS does not detect a master or a slave connected device). Change the mode of the master to the slave na HARD drive? t change a thing.
  The BIOS version is 2.00. Tried to find an older one without success.

  I thought that the BIOS has a limit of 32GB, but when I connect a 120 GB hard drive (WD scorpio), it has been recognized by the BIOS and the PC was ready to boot from the device.

  I would have thought computers laptop Toshiba were at least compatible with another device (e.g. hard drive) Toshiba

  Someone has any idea how to operate?

  Thanks in advance!
  Robbie

  Hello

  It of very strange that the 120 GB HDD has worked on your old Satellite 2800 unit.
  I know that the BIOS would not recognize these large HARD drive sizes.

  In any case, seems the purchased disk is not compatible with your laptop and you can buy one that is supported.
  I discovered that the 20 GB HDD MK2016GAP could be compatible

• Portege M200 - the hard drive failed

  My 60 GB Toshiba hard drive failed in my Portege M200.

  I tried mounting a hard drive, I had in my old laptop, a 30 GB Hitachi hard drive but the laptop doesn't seem to recognize it. Does need a Toshiba hard drive or is the laptop died, when I put the hard drive in I get message invalid startup disk.

  The old hard drive goes to a blue screen then restart the laptop.

  No there not Toshiba HDD only. I found the list of some compatible hard drives for this old Portege.
  You can use follow hard drives:
  -TOSHIBA HDD2193B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2171B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2184B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2194B
  -HITACHI G8BC00014410
  -HITACHI G8BC00014610
  -HITACHI G8BC00015610
  -HITACHI G8BC00014810

  Anyway, when you try to use new BIOS to check updated HARD drive and if default settings the new HARD drive will be recognized correctly in the BIOS settings.

  Old HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  Have you tried to install the OS by using old HDD?
