Hard drives on the Satellite C650-198

I have a Satellite C650-198 running Windows 7 (64-bit) and notice that the size of the 250 GB drive is divided into two main readers of 116 GB each (I accept that the remaining 18 GB is the section of system recovery and have no problem there).

I reinstalled Windows 7 from the recovery on DVD media and would like to know if it's something I did which puts in place the two discs or is it quite normal and intentional?

When you use recovery DVD for the installation of the OS the procedure is always the same:
-the whole HARD disc will be deleted
-existing partition deleted
-HARD disk will be formatted
-two new partitions will be created
-recovery copied image
-Operating system installed

This will happen again and again every time that you use the recovery DVDs.

    Hello, who knows if it can work 2 hard drives on the A200 1YX.
    In the manual is written there are 2 locations for hard drives, but it says that for some models of Satellite A200.

    Can I use 2 HDD on Satellite A200-1YX?

    As mentioned by user above, different Satellite A200 series are present on the market.
    Some supports 2 hard drives and some as a single HARD drive.

    Hello

    I know that this empty place for second HARD drive is a bit confusing, but the same situation is with my A200-1CR. The fact is that some A200 models come with 2 hard drives and laptop case design this place must be prepared for this second HDD.

    But this does not mean that each A200 can be improved for the second HARD drive.

    Well, I put t found any blankets or slots at the bottom of the unit. In this case, I think that he must remove the keyboard and some other covers.
    But if the warranty is valid you must contact the ASP for replacement because if you open the Notepad or if you remove the covers you lose the warranty.

  • Waste of space on the hard disk on the Satellite C650 - 15 X

    Hello

    I found a problem on my laptop Toshiba Satellite C650-15 X (almost new), I bought several months ago. It has a drive hard 500 GB volume in 2 partitions: C and D-with 250 GB each; and Windows 7 Premium 64-bit operating system.

    There is something strange about the partition D: it is 225 GB of missing! After scoring all of the files in the partition D > properties, there are only 25 GB in use and really little or no free space! There isn't any system or other files with this 25 GB. More than 220 GB in partition D is simply disappeared.

    C partition looks normal. Tried all known Windows tools: check disk, defragmentation, convenience stores, etc. without results. Any suggestion or idea what s happened past and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

    Can you please open Computer Management > disk management. Make a screenshot and post it here.
    I would like to see exact HDD structure.

  • 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? ;)

  • Replacing the hard drive on the satellite 1400-103

    TIA

    Hi TIA

    I'm a bit confused. Your device comes with 20 GB of HARD drive. Usually, there is problem if someone wants to build in the HARD drive with a much higher capacity. The disc HARDER it who are you talking is just with 4.3 GB. Why you want to use this HARD drive on your device?

    My opinion is that if you want to exchange the HARD drive, you must use the same as one with a higher capacity. This small, you can use as disk external DRIVE for backup of data.

  • New hard drive on the Satellite A200-13V

    First of all sorry for my English, I will do my best...

    I changed the hardrive disk on my computer A20013V satellite phone without problem. When I try to install vista with the original disk evrything seems right up until the disc is ejected. But when I start after ejecting it appears vista is not installed correctly and I am prompted to start the installation... I tried several times but same thing happens every time.

    Any suggestions on what I could do?
    Thank you.

    Do you use any new HARD drive?
    Can you put more details on this HARD drive? Brand, capacity?

  • Replacing the HARD drive on the satellite A110-252

    I'm looking for a replacement of the hard drive for my laptop and I don't know which are compatible.

    I understand that I need a 2.5 "internal HDD, size 7 cm x 10 cm x 9.5 mm

    However the confusion for me is above the interface, I think I understand it, is that it is a SATA interface - this correct?

    .. and if so, I noticed there are SATA-150, SATA-300 & SATA II HDD, you or the other of these works to the machine?

    Is this all I should which is not compatible with the laptop, for example rotation speed, he search speed, maximum size, manufacturers etc.?

    Thank you very much

    Dougie

    Hi Douglas

    I understand you very well. Sometimes I m also very confused because the entire designations in the laptop world
    In any case, during the search on the net I found useful information on the compatible HARD drive for your laptop.

    It seems that the satellite A110-252 support SATA (serial ATA) 1.5 G interface. Most compatible hard drives support a rotational speed of 5400 RPM and that is why I recommend buy HARD drive 5400 RPM

    The laptop comes with 60 GB HARD drive. Am I wrong? I think generally you should be able to use a 80, 100 and 120 GB HDD without any problem.

  • Find unused space on the hard drive of the Satellite A40.

    This space is about 7 GB, and seems to be unused.
    Can I create a partion second on this space or perhaps used by special services of Windows XP Home edition?

    (found this space after the installation of third-party backup/restore program)

    Hello

    Well, if you have a free space on the HARD drive if you want, you can create a two or three partitions. New partitions can have different sizes. In this case, I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This tool is very nice and easy to use and has many useful features.
    Try it.
