Password Protection for hard drive on the Libretto U100

I want to protect my data in the event that I should lose my U100. Initially, I asked a password to the Bios, which is quite easy using Toshiba Assist/user password. But even better would be to apply the same password on the hard drive as well. On the Tecra M5, you can make this Toshiba Assist and safety help, but there is no option on my U100.

The Bios has options to enter a 'HARD disk' password but when I try to do, he turns back to "Unlisted" when I try to save the change.

There is no mention of HHD password in UK documentation, but the Australian version seems to have the feature. This site http://www.continent.com.au/buy-1990.html claims "hard drive password prevents unauthorized hard disk access and can be synchronized with the password" – that sounds just the same as on my M5.

I would like to know if anyone here has had success with application to a disk to their U100 password.

Hello

Toshiba security help is not installed on the Libretto U100 and so you cannot use this function as on the Tecra M5.

Sometimes, the HARD drive password can be set in the BIOS.
If you want to set the password disk HARD check if it can be done in the BIOS!

But attention!
If you forgot the disc HARD password you will not be able to access the HARD drive and the HARD drive is no longer accessible.

  • Upgrade the hard drive in the Libretto U100 to SSD drive

    Anyone who undertakes an upgrade of the hard drive in a Libretto U100 to a SSD? This would surely greatly improve performance. What size is the hard drive in the U100 and which connector is used to connect the drive? Can anyone tell if this mod is possible?

    Spymaster

    So, I have a machine with an SSD (Tecra M5) and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, the discs are too expensive at the moment but you can benefit from a real performance.

    Regarding your question: should be possible. You have a 1.8 inch drive "installed and there are SSDS which have almost the same form factor. Usually the U100 was delivered with MK6006GAH or MK3006GAL disks.

    Here´s a site that might help, given that the reader has the same connector as the disc in your computer: http://www.dvnation.com/microatapics.html

    Just check it out and I hope you can use my index research on SSDS... :)

  • Cannot set the password for hard drive on the W530 with Intel SSD 520

    Hello

    I have a w530 with an Intel SSD 520 in primary hard drive Bay. Whenever I try to set a password for the primary hard drive, it doesn't stick. If I chose master + user or simply user, I will enter the password, it will take the passwords without producing an error and then just dump back me to the screen of passwords while leaving the disabled hard drive password.

    BIOS is on the latest version for the w530 and SSD, the machine seems fairly normally operate differently.

    Does anyone have ideas how I can activate the password? Thank you!

    Hi, ctenorman

    I did some research and came across this thread of Intel. There are a few people in the thread who were able to set the password on this particular drive. It seems that changing the BIOS "SATA" compatibility mode, set the password, restart, and then change it to "AHCI" worked for some, but not all customers with this player.

    Good luck and let me know how it goes

  • Portege M400 - new HARD drive retains the old HARD drive password?

    I have a Portege M400 and I want to move my current hard drive with a new one.
    My current hard drive is password protected (I know the password).
    My questions are:

    If I switch to a new hard drive, a new retains the old password or not?

    Can I use the old drive with an external enclosure as an external drive, or it is impossible?

    I already tried to delete the password for hard drive with the methods presented on this forum by going into the BIOS, but version 3.8 has no option to remove the HDD password and I think that it is impossible to remove it.

    Please answer only if you have experience in cases like this, I don't want to spend money on the new hard drive and not be able to use as primary.

    Hey Buddy

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=141590

    You can remove the HDD password (if it s you known) in the BIOS.
    In the field "User password" tab and just enter the old password. If you do want to set the new password, and then press "Enter".

    See you soon

    Hello

    Usually it s any manufacturer is.
    If the HARD disk supports the CHIP so it should be possible to use this HARD drive.
    The HARD disk protection tool verifies the parameters of the HARD disk.
    But the settings are configured by HDD manufacture then it might be possible that the HARD disk will not work if the tool would not choose the settings correctly.

    If you have forgotten the password to disk so you don t have any other possibility to get into the HARD drive. In this case, the HARD disk is unusable and unfortunately you need a new HARD disk drive. :(

    I need to reinstall my CS6 on my PC.  I installed it on this computer for 2 years now, but anyway half of subsequently moved to one of my hard drives and the other half is on the other.  I'm sure to remove both drives and reinstall on the larger hard drive?  I am a student and single MOM, and I can't afford the monthly subscription for the CC7.  If it does not somehow, I'll miss my classes.

    If the largest is the primary drive then it is safer than any other installation option, but all uninstall/reinstall can present problems.  If the software currently works very well, I would say that leave well enough alone if your future depends on software work.  Before you delete anything, remember to disable by opening an application and by choosing Help-> Deactivate.
