• 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro P200.
  Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

  As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
  When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

  I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

• Re: How to use the second hard drive in Satellite A300?

  I got a second hand Satellite A300 which was to be thrown out due to a defective DVD.
  I fixed the DVD and have a perfect system.

  On opening the box, I discovered that there 2 x 250 GB hard drives. I checked CMOS and show the 2 drives. However, Vista displays only the a drive.

  Excuse my ignorance, but how do I access to the second drive?

  I have Satellite A300 with two hard drives and each HARD drive has another operating system. Both hard drives are recognized correctly.
  I put t know what the problem is here, but the two hard disks should be recognized automatically.
  Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again.
  Try to start the check and install Microsoft bootable disk if the two hard disks are displayed in Setup.

  I just hope that there is not a hardware problem.

• Install the new hard drive on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro 6100 and the hard drive has failed. Bought a new hard drive but have no idea where to begin to install it. Also, I have the product key for windows xp pro, but don't have a disc. Is there a way to get around get one, or someone has any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hmmmm... It's very strange that you n t have idea how to start. Throughout history, there are only two options:
  -for the installation of an operating system you can use the original Toshiba Recovery disk that came with this laptop. If you n t have it then
  -use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads

  Please note: the product key at the bottom belongs to original recovery image so you probably won't be able to use it for the activation of the operating system.

• HARD drive recovery - Satellite P300-1GQ

  Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  I ve used Toshiba HDD Recovery Tool and it only formatted the C partition leaving unchanged D partition. Vista works well, that all data on the D partition. I could just format the partition D, but the problem, is that the titled HDD recovery folder is stored on the D partition. Back in 2009 when I bought my laptop, I created the HDD Recovery DVD s by following the instructions. I could use and format the entire hard drive, but the information that I got from tech support in my country told me that the new record of recovery disc HARD would not be created.

  I want to just wipe the drive and do a fresh install with new file recovery HARD drive on the drive D partition, in short: right now. Is it possible or not?

  > Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  It is possible:
  In doing a recovery of HARD drive or using the recovery disk

  As far as I know using the recovery disk disk HARD integer could be formatted and create return to the same State as at the first day of the purchase, it would mean that the folder of HARD disk recovery and HARD drive recovery option should be available even if you use the recovery disk!

• How to replace a HARD drive on satellite Pro L350-16 has

  Hi all
  I have a satellite pro L350-16 has with a 160 GB drive HARD by running a Vista 32 bit operating system. I would like to change it to 500 GB.
  What should I do if I want to keep all the configurations that I have in the 160 GB of HARD drive.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  > What should I do if I want to keep all the configurations that I in the 160 GB HARD drive

  If I understand correctly, you want Vista 32 bit with all the configuration to 500 GB hdd? You can use a program called Acronis True image to a hard drive image backup and move it to another hard drive, then. Note that this program is not free, and you must activate it for use.

• Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

  Hi all

  My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
  It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
  The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
  Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
  Thank you very much.

  Concerning
  J

  As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

  As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

  The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

• 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.

• Audio driver with Satellite A200 problems

  I installed XP + SP2 on a Satellite A200 successfully. I have downloaded all the drivers from the official site, but even though I installed the drivers for the sound card, the system does not recognize a sound card, no indication of speakers to the taskbar. Also, I installed the driver for the modem, but under the control panel modems, there isn't any modem.

  Hello

  I also had this problem on my Satellite A210.
  The problem was that I didn t install two important patches from Microsoft. * KB888111 and KB835221 *.

  This patch must be installed before installing the audio driver.
  If you have already installed the audio driver please remove TI (remove the soundcard from Device Manager).

  Then, install the patches mentioned and after reboot short you could follow with Realtek sound driver installation.

  This helped me and I'm sure he will also help you 100%.

  Goodbye & good luck

• Hard drive replacement Satellite L355

  My hard drive went out on my satellite L355d... can I buy a disc hard simular and pop inside and reload all my info off my dics?
  Someone told me that Toshiba is doing something special to do their reader comptible... making their replacement at home is not easy

  Replacement hard drive is not a problem, and you can do it alone.
  I changed the hard disks on several Toshiba laptops and it is not necessary to do something.
  Old drive HARD outside, another in the right place and everything should be OK.

  As far as I know your laptop model is new, and if you have the warranty you shouldn't spend your money for replacement. Warranty will cover the costs of replacement and you should get the new HARD drive for free.

  Good bye

• Question about hard drive partitions - Satellite L450

  I just got a new Satellite L450 with a 250 GB hard drive. I moved my media on it and quickly received a warning from the Toshiba Bulletin board that my hard drive was achieved at full capacity. When I look at 'My computer', it shows 2 hard drives, WINDOWS (C :) and DATA(D:).) I guess it's one thing to install because there is only one hard drive.

  C and D drives are around 120 GB but WINDOWS is 75% sold out. How to use drive D and avoid the warning on the capacity of the drive?
  Can I change the capactiy for C and D allowances?

  In my opinion, you should simply ignore this message. In Windows Explorer, you can clearly see how much free space is available on each partition. So I think t for the partitions and data administration you n t need to monitoring applications.

  This partitions C and D is the standard setting for the new Toshiba laptops.
  In disk management you can change the ability of the partitions but I n t think this is the best solution for you because the two partitions are filled with data.

• Replacing hard drive for Satellite 2450-101

  Hi, my laptop hard drive is broken and I need a hard drive replacement for my aging * Satellite 2450-101 * urgent, but I can't find my mannual and another source model support for portable computers.

  I thought it was a * standard internal 2.5 "IDE * (and thinking about buying a digital _Western 250GB 2.5" IDE hard drive 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM, model _: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_), but I am not sure.
  If anyone knows? Help, please. Thank you very much!

  I think 120 GB maximum capacity too.

  If you have misplaced the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online manual

  I founded you can use a second HARD drive in the Bay to select if you need more disk space.
  Drive external HARD is also a good solution for more disk space.

• Second hard drive on Satellite P200

  I have a Satellite P200-1IE with a 200 GB hard drive. And the case has "Colocation", another hard drive, but SATA connectors are not here :(
  I wonder if it is possible to insert the connector to attach the second HD.

  Thanks in advance for the help

  I agree with Joey.
  Toshiba designs and provides models of different laptops with different material specifications.
  All Satellite P200 mobile phones are equipped with a second HARD-drive Bay, but not all supports the interface and the second HARD disk controller.

  It of a bit confusing, but despite a second Bay HARD drive you will not be able to use a second HDD due to a missing on the motherboard disk controller.
