Disk checking on Satellite P500 error

Having owned my Satellite P500 for a few months, I thought I should check the drive for errors etc - no particular reason, "just in case" something

I clicked on the button under computer/drive/properties/Tools/Error Checking / Check now... and, as expected, she offered schedule a scan next time that the computer has started. This he duly did, but after offering an opt-out from the disk check, the screen has become almost empty without indication of progress or anything else.

The only indication that something could happen is the drive on the keyboard of flickering light.

That's the way it should be, or if there is a meter on screen or progress or at least something to show this disc error checking is actually underway?

Does anyone have experiences of disk checking under Windows 7 64-bit?

Thank you
David

There is not a progress bar or something like that. you will see the black screen with something written on the subject similar to the DOS window.

All that s.
Everything is OK.

    Hey Buddy,

    I checked my Satellite P500 and it seems that you can disable temporary t these buttons of illumination.
    You can completely disable the buttons of the illumination in the BIOS (the BIOS setup > advanced > System Setup). There is an option called function key. You must set it to disabled.

    But I m wondering about this problem, I put t he have while playing games. Alternative, you can connect an external keyboard to play games. :)

    Hello

    I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

    You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

    So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)

  • Satellite P500 - where can I get recovery disk creator?

    Hello.

    I accidentally uninstalled the launcher for the recovery MEDIA creator (no disc) and so I'm not able to start the program more.

    The support pages or other pages provide the files for me to reinstall the program. Does anyone know how to return to the program?

    My system is TOSHIBA Satellite P500 with Win7 (64 bit).

    Thank you very much.

    Anyway, if you run the option HDDrecovery back you to factory settings. You can then start again recovery disc creator to create the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • How can satellite P500-024 - I do a new partition with full disk space?

    Hello

    I just bought the Satellite P500-024 and it came with 640 GB HARD drive.

    I just found when clicking on * my computer * which is the HARD drive is cut to the drive C: and D: drive. How can I add the D drive half of the HARD drive on the C: drive of priority so there because I then a full accese 640GO HDD in a chase without cutting 50-50?

    The reason why I ask this is because I noticed when I turn on the laptop it takes ages and maybe a bit slower due to the fact that it is half of the hard drive on drive C. So I want to know how it is easy to add them together into one so that I can get fast and pure to my new Satellite P500-024 performance.

    Thank you.

    Hi tagvic!

    First of all I must say that the two partitions have nothing to do with the slow start procedure on your laptop. Your laptop will be no faster if I you have only one partition, made it s! In addition, the second partition is required for Toshiba HDD recovery option. You know about it?

    HARD drive recovery option is really nice. You can restore factory in a few minutes. For it pour l' utiliser use go from the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then, you can select this option and follow the instructions on the screen. The first partition will be deleted, and after that it will have installed an image of factory settings. This means that you return to the same state that you started the laptop, the first time. The operating system preinstalled with already all the drivers and tools are installed.

    In my view, there is another reason for the slow start to the top. You should try to remove Toshiba Tempro. On my computer it causes a slow start too, and after removing the laptop started much faster.
    I can also recommend you to clean the system using CCleaner and defragment the HARD drive. Removal of startup programs folder that you don't need and try another program like AntiVir AntiVirus.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite P500-190 stuck in a loop

    Well, I try to summarize what has happened so far.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P500-190 has started acting as each task is too big for him, constantly showing disk hard loading, programs did not respond for a while... then I ran the reconverty tool, reset the c drive, the problem still there.

    I ran all the error detection of characteristics of pc, no hardware problems or software detected. So I installed malwarebytes anti-malware and ran a scan, it finds errors, but before I could act, the program froze again no response. Press ctrl alt del, black screen, no response... reboot. Now my dosent pc even trying to start windows, only error detection program and each restart goes like this, even after going through the program as it is said.
    I tried to get to the other menus of repair, but it says I must be logged in to do this.

    Any ideas how to continue?

    Hi bug

    Please reinstall the recovery image and boot OS without having to install additional stuff.
    Do not connect to the internet and check the functionality. Open some pre-installed apps and see if they will not work correctly.

    Play around with these factory settings and let us know if there is a problem.

    Hello

    May I ask if you have checked the system requirements for Civilization 4 first? Before you try to play a game, you should check the system requirments. Is the laptop fast enough and very important: the graphics card is compatible with this game?
    Check this box!

    If you meet the system requirements make sure that the latest Toshiba display driver is installed. Don t use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesn t have a protection against overheating.

    And you have installed the latest version of DirectX?

  • Satellite P500-1CK - WIFI does not work

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite P500-1CK with Windows 7 64 bit. Cause I don't need, I replaced it with Windows 7 32 bit and now my WIFI does not work.

    I tried many drivers, Toshiba drivers and Realtek drivers, old and new versions. Installed and uninstalled them again and again. But it does not work. In the Device Manager, there is no error and no question mark. The map will be displayed as a RTL 8191SE, it's true. I've identified the vendor & device ID also.
    The other FN keys works like a charm, but FN + F8 does not appear. The wireless switch is active and the led is orange.

    When I type "cmd" then "ipconfig/all" it will be only shown the PCI Atheros Gigabit Adapter with the IP address, but not the adapter WLAN of Realtek.

    Searched Google @ and spend hours and hours, but I am at my wits end... Please help me.

    funthomas22

    Hi funthomas22,

    And this doesn t work exactly?

    You see a WLAN in range?
    Have you looked for WLAN networks?
    Can you connect to WIFI networks?

    A point would be interesting: can you try the same thing with preinstalled Windows 7 64 bits instead of your own 32-bit installation?
    Therefore, use the recovery disk Toshiba to restore the version of the OS preinstalled. You will have a pre-tested Toshiba Windows 7 installation where everything should work properly.
