Need to Tecra M10 USB formatting before use

Hi all

It is a problem, I was confronted during about one month.
I already asked for help in support of Microsoft and I managed the problem circumstance, unfortunately without being able to solve it.
The problem is the following:

Whenever I plug in an external hard drive via USB I wonder to format it before using it. This of course I do not. This problem appeared all of a sudden, before everything worked perfectly.

My external hard drives work perfectly, in other forums, namely other laptops.

In addition, if I reboot Windows 7 in the 'safe mode' can I connect external hard drives via USB without problems. It seems that it is something that I had recently which is contradictory to my external hard drives.

What is an update from Toshiba? You have an idea about the things I could try to locate the problem?

Thank you in advance.
See you soon
Andrea

Hi Andrea

You have portable external hard drive or Toshiba Toshiba? I ask this question because you ask for Toshiba update.

    Method 2: Check drive for errors.

    Check your hard drive for errors:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

     

    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  • Tecra M10 cannot install OS using disc SSD Kingston

    Hi all.

    I am a computer tech and can usually find a way to fix something myself, (rock Google!).

    But recently I had a Kingston SSDNOW 64 GB drive and decided to install in my Tecra M10 age of 12 months. 4 weeks ago I had a full head of hair, now I am completely bald.

    The drive is recognized in the BIOS, but whenever I try to install Windows on it, I get nothing. I tried the recovery DVDs XP, recovery DVDs Vista The, the "free" upgrade Windows 7 recovery DVD, and a DVD Vista & Windows 7 retail. I can't drive to be recognized to install Windows.

    I can copy the existing disk image, but it starts the splash screens and blue. Normally I think that driver RAID or hard disk controller, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require a, I tried).

    I checked and installed the latest version of the BIOS for laptop. There is no update available for the SSD firmware. So I find myself with a laptop that always uses a slow, (relatively) hard drive and a very pretty silver rectangular Clipboard.

    Can anyone think of anything whatsoever that I missed. Anyone working for Toshiba can tell me if there is a BIOS update for this problem (I search the forum and found many people who are struggling for SSDS working in Toshiba laptops)?

    The sad thing is that the former other laptop I got for my son accepts the player and works fine!
    I had many prefer to buy Toshiba, but I want SSD technology rather sooner than later, and if Toshiba does not go to support, I might have to change of Lenovo or Acer.

    Rob.

    > Normally I would RAID driver or controller hard drive, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require one, I tried).

    I think you have misunderstood something the SSD drive does not need SATA drivers BUT the fact the OS (Win XP, Vista or Win 7)!

    The SATA drivers are needed to recognize the HDD/SSD under Windows OS.
    New generation of portable supports the new SATA controllers that require SATA drivers.

    You will find on the European driver Toshiba Intel Storage Manager page

    Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers that are required to install the OS.

  • Can Tecra M10 - 10 H - I use two screens?

    Hello

    Looking for an explanation.

    We just bought some new laptops Toshiba M10 - 10H, previously, we used the M9 and had no problem with setting up two monitors by plugging in 1 DVI port and 1 on the VGA port on the port replicator. It does not seem possible to do on a M10.

    We have drivers installed on the M10 for Intel G45 express chipset and don't use model Toshiba Express Port Replicator. PA3508E-1PRP.

    Is it really the case that you cannot configure a M10 with two monitors, it seems to be the case, but seems porr mobile most recent higher spec of the M9 is not able to do this?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello

    This feature depends on the Tecra laptop opportunity.
    The DVI port on the on the Port Replicator Port Express is supported only on computers with graphics card ATI or nVidia.
    If you have a DVI INTEL graphics card port on the on the Express Port Replicator only is NOT supported.

    Both the use of a DVI and VGA port is so not possible!

  • How can I save my work which is inside my USB drive before formatting it?

    My USB does not open and when I try to open, the message appears telling me to format but I have important work inside my key USB so how can I save my work before formatting it? Please someone help me...

    I'll give advice to use this program Recuva BEFORE do you any formatting.

    Do NOT Format, then use it in your situation.

    If Recuva does not work for you to save your data, you may need to contact the data recovery experts.
    Be warned: they are very $$$

  • Cannot use scanner on my Tecra M10 finger print

    Hi all

    I have a toshiba tecra M10 PTMB1E laptop with fingerprint reader. IM on windows 7. now the problem I have is that I can't find any application program to run the fingerprint software? ive tried various software downloads of fingerprints on the toshiba site, but nothing works? If I check the devices drivers for the scanner are installed properly. If I type fingerprint in the box of files of research program, he is back with the following

    use your fingerprint with windows
    stop using your fingerprint with windows
    Maintain your fingerprint data
    Remove your fingerprints data
    biometric devices
    change the biometric parameters

    If I click on the first option, it takes me to an authentec page that says under construction? as if I'm going in "manage your fingerprint data?

    I can turn power biometrics, but nothing happens to start up, which allows me to use my fingerprints?

    If I go to the peripheral page biometric in the hardware section it says im not registered? If I click the link highlighted blue 'use your fingerprint with windows' it only take back me to this page of AUTHENTEC .com? and all that is under construction with different links page?

    scanners still used these laptops with windows more? or sector support windows?

    Hello

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the fingerprint software and uninstall of fingerprints (this tool is needed to remove the fingerprint reader software)

    You need the software of fingerprint...
    ... more I recommend checking this docuemtn Toshiab concerning the use of the fingerprints:

  • Can I use Tecra A10 OS disk to install the OS on Tecra M10?

    I have a tecra A10 complete with Windows Vista Business installed (and saved in an image using Easeus Todo backup file

    However I also have access to a Tecra M10 entered without an operating system, although the sticker COST (product key) is the same for a windows Vista Business.

    My question is: would my Windows Vista Business backup work A10 on the M10 (i.e. would it load hard disk M10 and then to work properly)

    If someone can advise on this subject I would be grateful if you please

    Best wishes

    At first, I must say that Toshiba recovery image created separately for each laptop model and it is 100% created to work on the specific model. Why?
    Each laptop model has different hardware platform and all the drivers, tools and utilities for some models are part of the recovery image. These recovery images are also tested.

    Generally if the two models have the same hardware platform (hardware) it can be used.

  • Tecra M10 - 17U use second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD

    Hello

    I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

    [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

    My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

    I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

    Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=39412

    It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
    As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

  • Choose use Bay does Tecra M10

    Someone knows what kind of select bay (slim, ultra slim, very fat or what) use the 'new' Tecra M10 and can tell me where it is written that info on an official site of Toshiba...

    Tip: don't waste time uploading the plug technical Toshiba, it isn't there, don't waste time to download the user guide; It is not there either...

    Pat

    Tecra M10 didn't select bay and that's the reason why you can't find information on this topic.
