• How to reformat the hard drive and do a "clean" install

  A recent virus attack, my computer has lost some files of the operating system.  With the help of the Lim has provided the recovery disk, which offered ' upgrade/repair' or a 'new installation '.  I chose ' install new ', actually I found many of my files are still there - that means that if a virus has escaped "Detection / removal" will always be there.

  Question: How to reformat the hard drive and do a 'fresh install' on a clean hard disk "? ". (I have a drive to Win XP with service pack 3 and a driver disk for the hardware installed on my computer of the regulations.)

  Thanks in advance

  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

• How to access the hard drive USB on E3000? Am I missing something?

  I have my router configuration fine to the internet, as well as the media server.  I can't understand how to access the hard drive of my laptop, however.  The manual says to put 192.168.1.1 in the field the address of windows Explorer, but it gives me just the 'Setup' page for the router.

  Am I missing something simple?  I use Windows XP.

  Click on start - go to start > Run/start search and type "\\192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press on enter and it should ask the user name and password, the user name and password, use "admin" all lower case, and then click Ok... Now you should be able to see your USB... You must make a right click on it and select "Map network drive" and check the Enable box and below click Finish... It will map the USB on your computer... Once done, you will be able to send and receive data from your computer to the USB...

• Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

  One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

  None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

  How to read my date? Can you help me?
  Thank you.

• How to copy the HARD drive?

  After the failure of my screen the technician replaced twice and is trying to arrange a replacement machine. How can I copy the hard drive and all the settings and software from one to the other. I'll have to return the damaged machine when I pick up a new one from the dealer.

  Hello

  I guess you will get exactly the same model of laptop. Right?
  In this case I would not copy the entire contents of the HARD drive to another HARD drive, but I would just swap the drives.

  I guess this would be the simplest method

• 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.

• Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

  I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

  1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
  [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
  How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  :-)

  Hello

  You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
  So what s the problem?

  Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
  The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
  The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

  Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
  If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
  If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

  Best regards

• Portege R200 - how to replace the HARD drive

  Fundamental questions about the Toshiba Portege R200 (purchased model birthday Thailand August 2005) are:
  (1) Please provide instructions to remove the hard drive (non-functional) (illustrations if possible)
  (2) model has enough space inside for hard drive 2.5 inch? (Impossible to locate 1.8 inches and below, to get the results of [expensive] calls to Toshiba - of interest only)

  Background:
  (1) while 3 years warranty in force I trecked (expensive) of Malaysia in Bangok (where to buy) at the headquarters of Toshiba (if you know Bangkok taxi drivers, you'll know what a test or going around in circles and the nonsense in the fire that was)... Toshiba agreed HD vibrating but reported would take 3 to 10 weeks to get the HD replacement (!?)
  (2) I was a few weeks later to the r - u (to tie)... They told me they couldn't help; I "should contact my provider...". This is an Asian model, in Europe, we cannot... etc etc.
  (3) a week later the HD has no
  (4) I contacted Toshiba but they told me the warranty expired 7 days before...
  (5) since this time I phoned and was put on hold for Toshiba in the region of London (several times), Singapore (3 times), Thailand (well, if you know how it goes, say-no more, shots of elbow-boost)...

  I got nowhere. But were invited by the media to bring it to the headquarters of Thai (yet)... It's all right, I'll book a flight and hotel etc now, shouldn't cost all that much more than the computer cost me initially...

  Oh, another thing, not very important: to help out me, I bought a lighter machine at Toys R us... 300 quid... for the love of antiquity I always want to get the old dog to this shiny Silver Anniversary edition slim R200 works again...
  I have a 2.5 "HD available (recond and costs all 9 quid in Brummagem) but before I destroy the old R200 dog by ineptitude... (and lost to carefree annoyance no assistance of Toshiba)... and/or on how to remove HD, please?

  Hello

  I have seen words about your question.
  AFAIK the R200 was equipped with the utility of the HARD disk protection. It is a feature to reduce the risk of damage to the HARD disk.
  Using the acceleration sensor built into the computer drive HARD protection detect vibrations, shocks and sings in the computer and automatically moves the HDD Head somewhere course, in order to reduce the risk of damage.
  But this function does not ensure that the HARD drive will not damage! It reduces the risk of damage!

  However, the HARD drive can be removed very easily.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find the HARD drive Bay. It s close to the battery (on the left).
  You need to remove two screws to get access to the HARD disk 1.8.

  PS: You can use disks hard only 1.8. The 2.5 hard drives are not compatible.
  I discovered that you can use a TOSHIBA 60GB 4,200 rpm 1.8 HDD HDD1544BZK01
