• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Question about hard drive Partitions

  My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

  How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
  This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

  I would like some advice before as I did try.

  >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
  That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

  This recovery is important for two things:
  -for the creation of recovery DVDs
  -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

  Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

  You have to understand how it works?
  If you have any other questions please let me know.

• Satellite 230cx: Question about HARD drive, memory and CD recovery.

  Can someone tell me if I can get a recovery for a 230cx disk? And what is the max hard drive that I have and RAM.

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Well, it is a very old unit. I think that it s about 8 or 9 years.
  However, I found the information that this unit has an internal memory of 16 MB and it of possible to upgrade the memory for max 144 MB (16 + 128MB)
  Also, this unit has been delivered with a 1.37 GB HDD part Nr.: P000229560
  I don t think you will be able to use a big HDD like 10 GB. The BIOS couldn't t recognize the HARD drive. Sorry but there is no information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

  The recovery CD, you must order the Toshiba service partner.

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Re: Question about HARD drive partitions

  My uncle bought me a laptop Satellite A100 European 5 months ago and I don t have the card with me. Then all of a sudden, my operating system has been corrupted and I had to format my hard drive. I used the recovery CD I received with the laptop. The box contains 3 CD. I followed the instructions.

  I had to use two of the CD and now I only have one big disk.
  Is it possible for me to make the hard disk partition after formatting?
  Help, please!

  The description provided by sanremo only works with Vista.
  If you have a XP OS you will need a 3rd party application like Partition Magic 8, for example.
  I use this PM8 and I m very happy. This great software to create, manage and edit the partitions on the HARD disk.

• Satellite M70-192 - question of HARD drive replacement

  Hello...

  It's just my first time to ask for help in this forum... and besides, in any forum on the whole wide net.
  So, sorry if am don't do this right... that's...

  My brother bought a laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70 - 192 psm71e-01k00rar) of the Kuwait around 2006. A few months ago we started hearing "noise noise deaf deaf" - ing sound inside the camera and the screen is just deleted (there was an error message that is encrypted but I wasn't able to note it). I was able to boot from the DVD or USB drive. So I thought that maybe the hard drive has been the only problem.

  I put in a new HARD drive (a 320 GB western digital scorpio wd3200bevt) and started to reinstall the system (I forgot which of the 2 supplied Toshiba cd I inserted first - media cd or the windows xp CD-ROM) but in the middle of installing the keyboard area was so hot that I unplugged / stop the laptop immediately.

  After that, the HARD drive has become invisible to any Linux or rescue CD or utility of HARD drive that I tried to boot from... (fortunately?) The said HDD vendor as the HARD wd scorpio drive + really + defective and they replaced...

  * now the questions: * I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd scorpio *(.55 amp) *. Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?
  Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  How can I _properly_ replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?

  Please note that before I bought the new HARD drive, I ve read somewhere in the "net I could use a disk sata2 on a sata1 controller, etc. + * pls help!" * +

  Toshiba services are simply too expensive for me right now if will send it (cell phone) in a licensed shop. Why I'm in DIY mode that s. I don't think I can afford an another fried Scorpion!

  Thank you!
  yours,
  TAC

  > I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd Scorpion (.55 MPA). Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?

  I don t think that a larger and faster HARD drive might be the reason for the higher internal temperature.
  You said that you have heard and his strange "noise noise deaf deaf." Such sound could be created by the defective cooling module. A defective module could be responsible for the highest internal temperature

  > Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  Here's your second thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=150272
  You can see that the SATA2 is compatible to the bottom and the s SATA2 HARD drive would work with common controller SATA HDD.

  > How can I properly replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?
  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult. I see that you have already found the HARD drive Bay and bought a HARD drive.
  In your case I recommend using the common SATA 2.5 HARD drive with 100 GB maybe 120 GB.

• Question of hard drive replacement warranty.

  I just bought my first Dell laptop, which comes with 1 year limited warranty.

  The laptop itself has a 1 TB HDD and an SSD of 32 GB. If I took it to an authorized and had the SSD has swapped a larger internal drive, is that voids the warranty on the machine?

  It's my first computer I actually bought for my part, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

  You did not mention the computer model of office or the laptop you are talking about if this response is from guess your configuration.

  Generally systems with a mechanical hard drive capacity (the disk of 1 TB in your case) and a small capacity SSD (32 GB in your case) are delivered with the ssd configured to be used as two player cache to accelerate the use of the disc hard capacity mechanical with the software Intel Rapid STORAGE, but also a way to speed up startup and wake from sleep with the Intel Rapid START software.   The small capacity of 32 GB SSD is very probably a small card called mSATA (micro SATA).   A 32 GB drive is not enough space to use as a boot drive.  There are 64, 128, 256 GB mSATA but discs are not really worth the expense.   It isn't really a replacement value for the mechanical hard drive capacity with a 2.5 "SSD (very expensive for a1gb SSD 2.5" ($400?).)

  The combination of a mechanical drive inexpensive large capacity and low capacity mSATA is the best of both worlds, great amount of storage at a low price and the fast performance of an SSD as you often use the same files over and over again and the SSD used as cache makes the system behaves almost as fast as a machine that has only a solid state for most of the users drive.

  All that is to say that you have probably no need to spend money on an update unless you need to improve the marginal performance it provides, or you simply have money burning a hole in your pocket and want to spend.

  To answer your question on if your warranty make changes to your original system configuration, the answer is now.  However, if you encounter a problem that Dell feels support is linked to a part, you added to the system they may ask you to remove it and restore the original return to figuration co system to continue troubleshooting... But it is quite likely that this would never happen.

• LR Workflow question (external hard drive)

  Hello world

  I just started to really use LR correctly and love it. I am currently using structures of folders on my mac, at importation and his good work, however I only have a small HD on my mac so ideally want to move some of the files to an external hard drive. My question is what is the best way to do this? I understand that I can move the folder to an external hard drive, but is it the right way to do because my collection will then be shared between two places and some not saved if that makes sense?

  I have attached a screenshot so I hope it makes more sense

  

  To move the pictures to a different HD:

  1. In your operating system, (STILL) COPY photos to a new HD, keep the entire unchanged file hierarchy
  2. In Lightroom, do a right-click on the top-level folder and select the location of the update folder and then point to the new location of the top-level (parent) folder
  3. When you are 100% sure that it worked correctly, you can remove photos on the original hard drive.

  More details and screenshots, are found in part 2 of this document: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  Related issue: most of the people do not take the photos exported, not only it saves hard drive space, but it's less work than the export of all

• Another question about hard drive setup

  Thank you all for the info on PC and installation material.  I have download the first CS4 trial version and it is awesome!  I have one last question? I read the rules for storage and editing platform.

  I noticed in the project settings, as there

  captured video

  Audio captured

  video excerpts

  Audio previews

  And in the preferences

  media database cache

  media cache files

  Correct me if this is incorrect

  Drive a my OS and files in project

  My second drive pagefile and media cache database and media file cache.

  Third disc captured video & audio and video previews and audio previews

  This system uses a combination of DV, AVCHD material.  I would add another hard drive?  I may be using raid 0 for the audio captured video edge.

  No problem. Especially for raid0 configuration, you can easily use the on-board raid functions. No sense getting a controller separated for this card.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Tecra A4: Question about HARD drive replacement

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. Can someone tell me where I can find instructions to remove the HARD drive?

  Hi Niek

  As much as I know replacing the HARD drive is not complicated.
  The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You will find a HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw.
  Please remove this screw and remove the cover.
  Then you can remove the HARD drive attention.

  PS: I think that the HARD drive is placed in the chassis. You may also remove this framework to place the other HARD drive.

• Tecra S1 - Question about HARD drive replacement

  I bought a replacement HARD drive and want to install myself - it seems pretty easy.
  Warnings or advice?

  Once the new drive installed I need to put in place.
  So, boot from the disks supplied with the machine Toshiba?

  All links to the process appreciated.

  TKS

  Change the HARD disk is easy, there are only a couple Philips screws.

  To install Windows, just boot from the recovery disc, and then follow the prompts.
