• Satellite Pro A40 (PSA45E) - How to Exchange old HDD?

  The HARD drive in five years by Satellite Pro A40 daughter old died recently. What type of HARD drive replacement is supported by the BIOS or am I limited to the Toshiba MK4025 only?

  Also, does anyone have an idea how to open the case without causing too much damage to the tabs in plastic molded?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can buy each HARD disk and it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. But the uses of Satellite Pro A40 older hard drives with IDE interface as far as I know, and this means that you can not use hard s 128 GB drives or let due 120 GB limitation LBA 28 bits.
  120 GB would be the biggest HARD drive you can use.

  Normally, the HARD drive cover is only attached by two screws. Remove it, the cover and then to exchange the HARD drive.

• Re: Open a Portege Z930

  I did a video (see below) on how to open and remove a Portege Z930 ultrabook.

  Note: proceed at your own risk, static precautions and you can void your warranty if you take these steps!

  So if you need to upgrade the memory, change the SSD or need to access internal to this unit, check out the video data.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Hi Lao

  Two models of laptops are very expensive and, in my view, it is not a value may damage something to do, some risks. Buy compatible SSD and ask the nearest riding services. OK a little cool, but you will be sure it will be done on the professional track.

  Small error by disassembling can train with parts or smallholders plastic failure.

• Portege Z930: How to keep the battery alive as long as possible?

  Hello

  Got a Portege Z930 recently, I do not know how to manage the recharge of the battery in order to maintain 'live' as long as possible.

  I'm mainly using computer at home, to leave the battery and then recharge, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I had an A-200 before satellite, also use it at home and keep connected all the time; After a few years, the battery capacity decreases

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  > after a few years, the battery capacity decreases

  It's nothing unusual after a few years of any battery would start to lose performance.
  Generally speaking after 500 times charge cycles the battery begins to lose clean performance.

  Of course you can remove the battery and could use the laptop only connected to the power adapter, but in this case, the laptop would shut down when making connection interrupted.

  To extend the battery work, you will need to calibrate the battery from time to time.
  To calibrate the battery, you must discharge the battery until it is completely empty. Then connect the power adapter and charge the battery up to full charge. Repeat this procedure two or three times in the line.

  Greetings.

• How to install Win8 on Portege Z930

  Hello

  We have a Portege Z930 with Win 7 preinstalled.
  Now, we want to spend to Win 8.
  There were two Win8 DVD provided.

  Can I use this upgrade DVD?
  How can I use DVDs without a drive?

  I tried with another laptop DVD and the DVD is not bootable.

  Any tips?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards
  Nicole

  Hello

  > How to use the DVD without a player?
  I guess that you can use if you do not have external CD/DVD drive

  Perhaps you could borrow the car to a friend

  If not try to copy the contents of the disc to a key memory USB flash and then try to boot from the stick.
  But to be honest, I not quite sure m TI would work.

• Portege Z930: How to install Win 7 after the installation of Win 8

  Hallo!

  There are a few weeks upgraded Toshiba Portege Z930 to Windows 8. Before the upgrade made the backup of Windows 7 on USB flash and it worked. Now recovering Win8 to Win7... Recovery starts fine - choose 'out of box' recovery and get ERROR 05-0172-0001.

  How to return to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I guess that your BIOS contains the option to switch between the UEFI and BIOS of the CSM.
  It must therefore return to the CSM BIOS and must disable secure boot if it has been previously activated.

  Then you can reinstall Win 7

• How to partition my new Portege Z930 HARD drive?

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Toshiba Portege Z930. I would like to create a new partition (for example D: /) on your hard drive, to store data, music, etc., and let the current C: / drive only for the use of the operating system.

  The problem is that I can't follow the normal procedure of partitioning my HD (via the Windows disc or by other software such as EaseUS Manager) because my Portege Z930 already has 4 primary partition created by default! Namely, these are:
  -1 1.46 GB recovery partition
  -1 8 GB hibernation partition
  -1 (hidden) 9.96 GB primary partition and finally
  -1 219 GB main partition

  As said, there are currently 4 primary partitions, which corresponds to the maximum number of primary partitions, I have. To create a new partition, one of these 4 must be transformed into a logical partition.

  I don't have to know if such a thing would be correct, or it would be the cause of the problems of the operating system etc. Also, I don't know which of the 4 above is more appropriate be transformed into a logical partition...
  I tried to contact Toshiba but the contact is very difficult with them.

  (1) does anyone have an opinion well informed about this?... happened... ?
  (2) I should I turn one of the 4 primary partitions above in a logic (and if so, where?)
  (3) what is the use of 4 partitions mentioned above?

  Thanks in advance for your comments,

  Hello
  Windows 7 is pre-installed on this laptop?
  Windows 7 needs the first (1.46 GB) partition to store files for the repair of the system.
  For example: in case something goes wrong with the Windows 7 system is able to automatically repair and this backup files on that partition. Don t touch!

  The primary partition (hidden) 9.96 GB seems to contain the image of Toshiba files.

  These image and music files is very important in the case where you want to create the Toshiba recovery disc (or USB) or you want to retrieve the laptop using Toshiba HDD recovery option. Don t touch if you haven't created the recovery disc!

  The main score of 219 GB seems to be the system partition. This partition contains the Win 7 OS.
  The 8 GB partition is not known to me but you wrote there seems to be a hibernation partition. Maybe its required for hibernation data.

  However, first I recommend you to create a recovery disk.
  It is an essential environment where you want to set the laptop back to factory settings.
  You can change the partitions on the HARD disk.

  In General, you can have 3 primary and 1 extended partition or 4 primary partitions.
  Extended partitions can contain logical partitions for example: private data.

• Portege Z930 - how to check if the BT is turned on?

  BT Manager (application) runs in the background. There is small BT symbol in the taskbar. Where BT is the symbol is bluish and when BT is OFF then the color changes to red and blue. This happen when you have Win7.

  JamBox is unknown to me but check it please manuals and make sure that you can switch to ands matching on your usage of portable option in BT Manager add a device. It shouldn't be so complicated.

• Portege Z930 - 12 H - update of the BIOS and McAfee Endpoint Encryption?

  The update to the latest BIOS (Ver.6.70) for my laptop Portege Z930 12 H comes with the warning:

  «If you use the BitLocker Windows Drive encryption, please temporarily suspend (or turn off) before BitLocker Drive Encryption updated BIOS.»

  The same caveat applies to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which is used on my laptop and I can * not * pause or stop? Or can I apply the upgrade of the BIOS safely?

  Thank you.

  As much I know Bitlocker isn't related to Antivirus from McAfee software and two security tools are not connected to each other. BitLocker is a tool for Microsoft Windows and McAfee is a 3rd party software preinstallation on the device.

  I found a nice how doc on the update of the BIOS.

• Adding additional partition D for Portege Z930 with that 256SSD

  I just got a new portege Z930 i7 with 256 ssd and Win7 pro 64. It starts with 4 partitions already installed.1.46Gb recovery, 217 GB C, 8 GB hibernation and a 11.9 primary with the only option to remove.

  It of based on the system Linux and you could create bootable USB flash memory stick containing Gparted tool.

  You can use an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from disks to win 8.

  Or you try to install the 8 Win using a flash USB memory sik.
  But in order to install the memory flash USB one Win 8 Win 8 ISO (image) files is necessary.

  My work is connected to a domain network and work very well until today.

  When I started the PC and I put my password it says: "the security on the server database has not a computer account for this trust relationship.

  On windows 7 and XP I could easily enter the admin user and correct this problem by re-connected to the domain of may server.

  In this case, I can't enter the administrator or user mode because it gives me the error of the soul.
  I can't restart the computer with a cd/dvd-rom or a usb pen with hirens boot or other kinfd of the software that I use.

  How can I fix?

• Portege Z930 - display driver does not work properly

  Hello

  We have a Portege Z930 with Windows 7 64 bit in use where the Intel display driver seem to work fine.

  First problem is the slow presentation on screen - if we open a (simple JPG) photo and move the window, the frame window break during the move and showed very weird.

  Then, we have installed a U3.0 dynadock docking for the use of two external displays more. This method works even worse. To the docking station, we used the driver from the CD supplied in the delivery and connect to a USB 3.0 connector.

  On starting switching on 2 screens instead of internally for computer laptop screen does not work - and we use workaround of using an extended desktop on all 3 displays (2 external and internal display for laptop as the third).

  In Internet Explorer, it should turn off GPU Rendering and use Software Rendering rather because otherwise, we observed critical irregularities on the external screens (with 2 Windows Open the screen froze or could not display Windows Mobile). However the display isn't satisfactioning.

  We have tried 3 different versions of the recommended Driver Intel which is also offered by Toshiba to download; We loaded it is there and also 2 versions more (a more recent, one older) Intel directly.

  So, how can we get this working properly?

  Thanks in advance and best regards,
  N. Cochems

  More importantly. Make sure you have Service Pack 1 installed Win7. New laptops have problems running in win7 RTM (without service pack).

  It seems that Windows uses the standard VGA driver instead of the Intel driver. Uninstall all display drivers from Control Panel-> programs and features and then go to the Toshiba website and install the utility Intel Chipset then the Intel display driver, then go to DisplayLink.com and install the latest DisplayLink driver for the dynadock. The new software v7.xx DisplayLink driver fixes several issues found in v6.xx drivers.

  Verify that the Intel drivers are installed properly in Device Manager.
