Drive HARD on Satellite C660 failure

Hello, I have a problem.

I am owner of laptop Toshiba Satellite C660, I bought it two years ago, but I did not extend my warranty.

Unfortunately, six months after my warranty expired, my HARD drive failed. One day he started making weird sounds and the computer was not able to start. I find that my HARD drive is broken and I need a new.

So I ordered a new one, put it in my laptop, installed Windows 7 above (I'm a student and my University give us Windows for free). But there's this problem:

Resolution of my laptop can be changed to two possible options: 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. I don't remember what the resolution that I had before, but I'm 100% sure that it was better, and, what is more important, it is 16:9, not 4:3.

Another problem is that my function key (Fn) are not. So I'm not able to activate my WiFi or Bluetooth, or make my laptop into hibernation.

Can you help me? What should I do?

Thank you very much.

Hello

At first please be so nice model number and post accurate of your laptop (C660-xxx). I don't know if your laptop comes with preinstalled OS but if yes does I m wondering really you do not have original recovery image.

In any case, after the new installation of the operating system, you must install all the necessary drivers and tools and utilities.
Thanks for posting as soon as possible the model number and can check the Toshiba download page and help you install drivers, tools and utilities.

  • Re: Driver ATI Installationsur Satellite C660 1 - EF

    Greetings!

    I have a problem installing the ATI vga driver. I know that only drivers from the Toshiba site may be used, but they do not work yet. I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 laptop 1 - EF with ATI HD5470 and Windows 7 SP1 x 64 installed. I bought without OS, so I did not all discs.

    After I installed it (clean install) of the OS, I have seen that some devices had been installed with the drivers built into windows (or not yet installed). So I decided to download the proper drivers. The first problem is that I couldn't find the driver ATI for W7 x 64 on the Toshiba site for this type of laptop. I tried to find a similar notebook that has the same graphics card. At least I could find a driver. But when I tried to install it, it was closed. He did nothing, just closed.

    Since then, I've tried several drivers (most of them that I downloaded from the Toshiba site), but the result was the same.

    What should I do?

    Hello

    It's good for Win7 64 bit ATI display driver.
    Can install you it?

    The Intel driver depends on the Intel CPU.

  • Driver Vista for Satellite C660 & using the free extended warranty EMEA code

    First of all thank you for taking the time to read this email and possibly to answer me.
    I encountered some problems when registering my Satellite and Toshiba Satellite A205-S5851 * Satellite C660.

    First computer bought in the United States, and then in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
    Unfortunately * Satellite C660 came without windows operating system.

    I have installed a licensed version of Vista Starter and now I'm having problems to install all the necessary drivers, because your web page supports only Windows 7 and XP.

    I recorded my warranty and offered a free warranty extension (no way to activate it), but when I tried searching for support for my model on your web page, but it doesn't 'recognize' serial number!

    I would be recognizing the assistance since it is my fourth Toshiba laptop and I want to be your customer.

    Best regards

    > I recorded my warranty and offered a free warranty extension (no way to activate it), but when I tried searching for support for my model on your web page, but it doesn't 'recognize' serial number!

    If you have a few problems with the registration, I recommend to check this page:

    But are you sure you typed the correct serial number to 100%?
    Maybe you have mistyped the serial number or mixed with letters or numbers

  • Can not format or partition the drive HARD on Satellite M30

    I have a Toshiba Satellite model No. PSM30E
    And the system is unable to access the HARD disk.
    When I check the Bios setup it can detect the HARD drive.

    When I run windows setup to boot from the CD he sees the HARD disk with the correct size, but it cannot create partitions on it or if it can format the HARD drive. I tried the HARD disk partitioning using another system and I was able to partition and format. But when I plug in the laptop he sees just the whole HARD disk in unpartitioned space and also does not format them or partitioning it.

    Y at - it shaped a locking mechanism that prevents access to the disk partitioning or setting?
    My other question is, perhaps, the problem of the IDE connector?

    Any suggestions or help?

    Hello

    I don t think there is something wrong with the IDE controller. Fact is that the BIOS do not show simple partitions but only whole HARD disk size.
    I put t know how you tried to format the HARD disk or to create partitions on this disk HARD but in fact different OS uses the standards of different format and this may the reason for your problems!

    I think you should try to boot from the original Windows XP CD. Let's launch the setup and format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions!
    I noticed that Toshiba recovery CD couldn t runs correctly on wrong formatted HDD!

  • Question about drive HARD on Satellite L300 recovery

    Buy laptop 3 months ago, my son's homework top (40 pages). Laptop has suddenly stopped working. When I try to boot to the top he tries to boot the laptop into repair mode, load files, will load vista then I do gray screen saying (system recovery options) installed program cannot start turn off computer.

    Through each f8 routine and only interest is to disable automatic restart in the event of system failure where I get the error message: Stop oxoooooo24 (ox00190444, ox85a6bdeo, oxc0000102, 0x00000000).

    Didn't create Toshiba Recovery disk called received set loaded file, it comes finally to a point where them continue it will erase all data on disk. Which is what I don't want. Then takes the disc, but it had loaded enough drivers to allow me to take a look in the back. When I look for drive C, return with an unreadable messagesaying. When I look in the D drive and there are files including a saying HARD drive recovery. (I guess that vista automatically disk partitions)

    In all cases any suggestions? There is a single file that I need, which is a document works (wps). Is there anyway I can retrieve the d ' training in HARD drive through back recovery? any suggestions?
    If I run the recovery disk it delete both partitions or just work on C:, then through D: I maybee able to recover the document?

    Hello

    As I see you have tested all the options using F8.
    This means that you have tested safe mode?
    You can start a computer laptop in safe mode?

    If your work is saved on partition D, you can start recovery facility (F8 fix my computer) and Vista will install again, but all the data saved on the D partition will be there again.
    -When you use the recovery disk - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm C partition will be deleted only.
    -When you use recovery DVD will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

  • Replacing a drive HARD on Satellite L40

    All greetings!

    Replacing a hard drive! Greetings broke a hard drive, before there are clicks.

    There is a 120GB, 250GB hard drive in my laptop Satellite L40, I put.

    Operating system has created an applied Toshiba drive. Activation of Vista has not required. But she sees the volume of a 130GB disk where got more 120 GB?

    Your offers. Probably to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    First of all, what Satellite L40 do you have exactly?

    The BIOS recognize the 250 GB or only 120 GB under Windows?
    Check if you have the latest version of the BIOS.

    Maybe the Satellite L40 does not support hard drives of 250 GB, but in the user manual, you can find more information.

    Good bye

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite P10

    I would like to upgrade from my HARD drive, I have not find how proceed (which screws to remove to the opening of the machine). Where can I find explanations?

    Hello

    To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and optical drive. First you must remove the four black screws that get the aluminum shield covering the HARD drive. After that take it out.

    Gently pull the HARD drive towards the front of the computer to disconnect the system board, and then take it out. The last step is to remove the four screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

    Good luck!

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite Pro M10

    Are there requirements on what kind of HD, I can use,

    for example it does not matter if I chose one of them (not thinking of which one will be faster):
    Toshiba MK6026GAX 60GB (5400 RPM, ATA-6, 16 MB)
    Toshiba MK6032GAX, 60GB (5400 RPM, ATA-6, 8 MB)
    Toshiba MK6034GAX 60 GB (5400 RPM, ATA100, 8 MB)

    with sincere friendships.
    Vincent Jansen

    I don t think that there might be a problem with these drives.
    A HARD disk supports an ATA100. But if the controller of the laptop will not support the ATA100 laptop will not use the full transfer of performance and data on the HARD drive. That all the s, but the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive without any problem

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite C850

    I found this Toshiba on Youtube video that shows how to replace the hard drive on the C850.
    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=0550V-181d0

    It helped me a lot, because there is NO entry in the user manual on how to replace it and where the hard drive can be placed.

    They show you where is the memory, but not where is the hard drive. WTF? so, this video tells you it's in the same slot for memory.

    Hello

    Yes, I also noticed that not all information can be found in single user manuals.
    However, there are many other sources to find essential details.

    Toshiba Europe youtube channel seems to offer a lot of useful videos to replace the HARD drive, memory or a drive CD/DVD in the different laptop models.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite C series

    Hello

    I want to replace and upgrade my hard drive internal sata, what is the maximum size that I can install which will fortunately be recognized by BIOS / chipset?

    Hello

    SATA controller isn't limited to a specific size of the HARD drive.
    Generally, you can use 2.5 SATA HDD support any size (250 GB, 500 GB, etc.)

    But have you considered using a SSD drive? I prefer SSD drive, even if these discs are more expensive. The performance is much better and believe me; the performance gain will be noticeable.
