How to partition the Hardrive on Satellite L550?

Will set up the new Satellite L550 WINPro and partitioned the HDrive which, on the finish, did not show the "C" drive with the partition I have allocated to it as usable. I called the support & informed the other space I had partitioned was hidden and unusable. Support could not advise me how to re - install 2 partitions can be used out of their allocation of work to do.

I'm used to Sony Vaio XP where you can partition the disks as much as you want which are all usable. The beauty of having a separate drive to store your documents and other sensitive files on, is that, if you ever get to make a recovery, the partitioned drive assigned to these is not lost.

You are not sure if Toshibas are capable of it?

Can someone help with how partition USEFUL disks on this laptop please?

Thanks in advance.

To be honest I don t know if Satellite L550 procedure nine collection or old, but I know that new Satellite A660 has it with works by great walls. I'll try to explain it and you check to see if the same thing can be done on your laptop satellite

-Recovery starts and you will see a WARNING at the beginning
-on the next step, you can choose factory default software recovery
-on this next step choose the custom size partition recovery recovery method (on this point, you can choose the size of the C drive, where the operating system must be installed
-continue and complete the installation of recovery

When the BONE is completely installed, you will see a partition C only (Windows Explorer). Enter computer management and go to disk management. On the right side, you will see the structure of HARD drive and a large unallocated area (black color). Use this box to create own partition/partition (logical drive).

All that s.

  • How to partition the HARD on Satellite L300 drive?

    I'm crazy little go! I just bought a laptop L300 and I was totally reassured I was able to partition the drive. I have partitioned many readers in my life and know what I'm doing (for the most part)-, but this one - I can send it to the store.

    It has a 250 GB hard drive - main drive c, d of smaller volume and 2 hidden volumes. I have 4 other volumes (personal, music, images and desktop). I used the Vista partition utility and it won't let me (it is said that it will create dynamic disks - I want just simple additional disk volumes) and the shop recommended Disk Director

    Can someone tell me how to do this - it's a simple operation on all the other computers I bought

    Hello

    If you create the own Toshiba recovery disc then you're definitely on the safe side.
    The use of the recovery disk would fix the laptop to the factory setting.
    It also means that the HARD drive would be a format too.

    The recovery disc formats the HARD whole disc first, erases all partitions, and then creates the partitions and installs the operating system with all the tools and drivers Toshiba.

  • How to avoid ruining the recovery on Satellite L550 partitions

    Hi all

    I recently bought the Satellite L550/010. I'll put another OS on it, but I want to assure you that I can still retrieve its state of origin. It came with the following partitions:

    First partition (1.5 GB): contains the directories 'Boot', 'recovery', 'System Volume Information' and 'bootmgr', file 'WinREPartition.ini '.
    Second partition (454GB): looks like windows C:
    Third partition (11FR): contains the directories 'bin', 'boot', 'images_boot', etc. and files 'bootmgr', 'data.ini', 'editaf.bat', etc.

    So, my questions:
    What is the role of each of these partitions? Those who can remove and still be able to use the method of "restoration of the recovery partition? Who can remove and always use the method of "restoration of recovery disks?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    above all, don't forget to make a recovery disk.

    > What is the role of each of these partitions?
    > First partition (1.5 GB)

    This recovery utility that begins d image to local hard drive file recovery

    > Second partition (GB 454):

    There is a partition where to install your current operating system

    > Third partition (11FR)
    This is the folder of hard disk image to restore the factory settings of.

    Installation of any other Os will move partition and you will not be able to restore the factory settings by using hard disk image file (F8 at startup). This is why I advise you to burn a recovery disk if you decide to install another Os. In this case, a recovery disk will restore factory settings

  • How to access the recovery on Satellite A660 partition?

    Help please

    I am trying to access my partition recovery on my Satellite A660-18 and I could not find.
    I ve done a stupid thing I ve instaled a fresh Win7 to a cd from my friend without touching the hddrecovery partition. Now I have the new copy installed, but I want to go back to the factory one.

    It seems from what I ve read on the forums that win7 (being different then the one on the recovery partition) is instaled at present can no longer see the recovery partition (something was delleted when I ve instaled the copy of my friend.).

    is there something that I need to replace to start inside or is there a way to fix it?

    Thank you.

    > I ve instaled a fresh Win7 to a cd of my friend
    There is no way to start the installation of HARD drive recovery more after doing this.
    You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
    If this is not the case, only way to still have factory settings is to order original Toshiba recovery disc. You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    I'm sorry. :(

  • 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.

  • How to partition the hard drive

    Hi, anyone knows how to disable partition the hard drive? Getting sick of the transfer of information between C: and E: Paulette

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management.

    Do right click on E a remove it. After that, you should be able to enlarge C with right click and choose the option of not. But you'll have to save files on E first, so as not to lose them.

    If this does not work for any reason, you will still be able to use 3rd programs like partition magic. I've used several times and I am very happy with it.

    If you do not have the appropriate restoration or the utility CD handy, the drivers can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba website.

  • How to change the cooler on Satellite M30-344?

    Hello

    IA´m lucky enough with my Satellite M30 - 344, but 2 months the cooler starts to become stronger every day. Is it possible to change the cooler on mine and how expansive is the original cooler? Do you know anything as a tutorial for the change process?

    Originally from 2 256 parts MB of Ram is installed. Now ia´m think about a bigger total RAM. As far I know are only 2 slots for RAM, or I'm wrong. Is it possible to install two 1 GB RAM pieces?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    The replacement of internal devices is not easy and a little risky.
    I wouldn't recommend replacing the cooling module yourself.
    You might damage it something on the map and as you know the motherboard is costly parts of the laptop. The manuals are not published because these documents are only for technicians and service partners.
    So I think you should ask a service partner to help him because these guys have more experience in these procedures.

    I found a site online with the memory modules for Satellite M30 344
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6958&ft=m&St=3

    It is said that it of possible to upgrade memory to 2 GB max. That's why I think that it of possible to use module 2 x 1024 MB.

  • How to access the BIOS on Satellite Pro 4600 settings?

    Guys,

    I received a Satellite Pro 4600, unfortunately this laptop has 2 and a half proceeding on this issue. The first is MS2000, then XP then an incomplete installation of XP. When I start the laptop, it asks which OS I want to use. I have a legal copy of XP that I bought and I want to reformat the computer laptop and put on a new install of XP, the problem is how to enter the BIOS to change the settings to boot to a CD?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Steve

    Hello

    First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
    You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    It would show the available boot options.

    Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.
