• Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

  I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
  I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
  Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
  I'm missing something?

  Thanks in advance

  It should work!

  The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

  3 things you can do:
  At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
  If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

  If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

  If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

• How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

  Please can you advise the team?
  I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
  Please can I have advice from the team?
  Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
  Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
  I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.
  TIA

  Hello

  I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
  I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.

  Good bye

• Re: No HARD drive recovery on Satellite S995D-S5374 area

  I can't do a recovery disc, it says that there is no HDD Recovery area.

  The situation was like that, I wanted to decrease the size of the C drive. I did it with a program and then windows could not start and went to do so more and more.

  I used a different windows installation disc 8. I used the reset option. And the computer started as if it was just a box, the only difference was that my files were intact and also my account on win8. Although scores are one in trouble.

  Now, it looks like this:

  I can not access the half of my hard disk space. There is recovery partition as you can see, but I can not burn a recovery disk...

  I tried to do what he says here (opening the HARD drive recovery process), but it failed. I get the screen where it says
  my pc need to be repaired and nothing was found or can not be found to achieve this.

  Yes, guyes, * please help *. I want my rear disc space and if it is possible to make a recovery disk. As I can access the recovery partition in my computer, can't do a drive recovery here?

  p.s. in disk management, when I right click on the partition "Data", it is said that 'Help' and nothing more.

  p.p.s. I Satellite S995D-S5374. And there was no disk recovery with it when I bought it.

  In recent years, Toshiba doesn't offer recovery discs with new models of laptops with recovery media must be created by the owner of the laptop. It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

  Recovery media can be created if the laptop has only factory settings. As I see that you have changed the structure of the partitions and that was the big mistake. Of course you can do, but at the first recovery media must be created.

  Please read the last post on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=140985

  Sorry, but now you cannot create recovery media or start HARD recovery disk image installation.
  If you want to have the recovery disk and use it to recovery image installation, you need to order a new drive for https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• How to replace the hard drive internal on Satellite 2450?

  Hello!
  Last month, after a BSOD displayed (I don't have the code of error message, unfortunately) my laptop decided to not work again.
  At the start, he reached the start menu and then displays a black screen... no message, no auto restart... nothing. Just a weird noise coming from the hard drive (like a scratched cd).

  I tried to format the drive, but without success. After choosing the boot source, trying to read the cd and the black screen appears again, with no message. I checked if the Bay of cd is not working properly and it is. (I think)
  So I replaced the HDD in my satellite 2450. A new toshiba ide 2.5 30 GB hard drive. But when I install a new one, the system does not recognize.

  The control panel of the Bios says that "no hard disk" is available, and I can not change this option. (locked)
  With the Windows Xp cd in the drive, the Setup program runs all properly until the 'select drive' format menu, witch says that no hard drive is recognized (with a new drive hard in).

  I don't really know what to do!
  Is something missing in this process?

  Thank you for the patience

  Hello

  The laptop did not recognize a new HARD drive. Which is one reason why Win XP cannot follow the additional installation steps

  I can't say exactly why the HARD drive is not recognized, but the 30 GB IDE should be ok.
  I remember one of my friends had a similar problem with the new HARD drive.
  Some hard drives have a jumper (3.5 HARD drive and 2.5 IDE HARD drive too)
  Maybe you should check if a rider has been set to the right position (slave?).

  Check it otherwise that I recommend to test with another new HARD drive

  In the worst case the disc HARD controller might be faulty, but it would mean replacing a motherboard

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Update hard drive to the Satellite Pro L300

  Have a Satellite Pro L300 with a 120 GB hard drive, running Vista Home, the reader is divided 50-50 and does'nt Vista as to move the partition (Partition Magic does not work)...

  So would like to change to a larger HD... Q / I can do this, and how hard is it? even with the recovery of files on the Partition and if I bought the Toshiba recovery disks, gruff, when the player is changed discs would not reconise the largest disk that I discovered in the past using Norton Ghost.

  Upgrading the hard drive doesn't have to be the problem.
  HARD drive is placed in the lower corner under the HARD drive cover. HARD drive cover is fixed by two screws. Remove the screw, then the HARD drive cover. Please do it gently. After having this deletion drive by pulling on the tab kit attached to the pack, following the direction of the arrows.

  According to the specifications of the laptop you need SATA HDD and it can be upgraded up to 500 GB.
  After upgrade the disk HARD use recovery DVD for installation of operating system.

  Any other questions? ;)

  Did you create the recovery disk?
  If yes try to start and check whether the HARD disk access is possible.

• 160 GB hard drive update for Satellite Pro M70 - 220

  I want to upgrade my satellite Pro M70-220 portable HARD drive the current 60 GB HDD to a 160 GB HARD drive and you drive would be grateful if someone could provide information on the standard/type of HARD drive I should like being looking for and, if possible, specific manufacturer's recommendations and the model number of an appropriate 160 GB of disk HARD.

  Thank you

  AlanCB

  Hello

  The laptop uses a simple 2.5 SATA HDD.
  It's not really important what the speed of the HARD drive is supported, but I recommend to use the 5400 RPM or faster 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Generally all HARD drive size should be compatible because the SATA controller has no limitations.

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

• Where can I get the driver/software for Satellite A500/02J disc

  Hello

  Newbie here, just want to ask, are there at - there a driver/software for laptop Toshiba A500/02J disc.
  I just bought a new and its been not formatted, so no recovery partition where drivers would be.

  I searched the net looking for face recognization software, etc., but nothing works.
  There must be a drive to install there somewhere...

  Can someone help a newbie?

  Concerning
  Carl

  Hello

  The laptop has not been handed over with the recovery disk because there is a pre-installed tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  This software could create the recovery disk that allows the laptop to factory settings still.

  By the way; Satellite A500/02J is an Australian for Toshiba laptop model and drivers must be available on the Australian Toshiba page:

• Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

  Hello

  The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

  Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

  Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrejs

  Hi Andrew

  > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
  I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
  This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

  I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
  To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
  In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
  So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

  I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
  HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
  HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB

  HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB

  I hope this might help you a little!
