• Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

  Hallo,

  My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
  but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
  So I do not have these data recovery.

  So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

  How can I work around that?

  Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

  Thanks in advance,
  Steve

  Hello

  If you have a recovery disk and you do not want to store the folder in hard drive hard disk recovery, you can remove it.

  > I can't remove the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

  Remove you it as you always do to remove all files on your system.

• Qosmio F50 - the hard drive recovery?

  Hello

  I had a very big problem.
  I've made a few changes with my Vista regs and then I was unable to start again.
  So, I started the recovery program (second HARD drive), backed up my files and selected whole HARD drive recovery.

  Well, now problem - everything was going well, but when I walked into the Vista installation I had to shut down the computer.
  Now, when I start up the pc and load Vista I message I need to reinstall my computer again.

  Well, they say nothing about how load the recovery file but I have no option for this - only emergency mode, with the support of network, etc., but without recovery emergency. Moreover, when I select emergency mode, I can't load Vista-it says I need to run the Setup in normal mode, which told to re - install. Yep, circle-_-.

  Model: Qosmio F50

  Do you think that when I erase all the Vista disc manually - for example with linux, and then start the computer, I get a possibility to load the second part of the drive to start the installation?

  Thanks in advance because I'm really despair

  I'm a bit confused of m.
  How do recover you the laptop?
  Have you used the Toshiba HDD recovery option which could be launched by pressing F8, select fix my computer-> Toshiba Recovery?

  Usually, it is a procedure how to start the Toshiba HDD recovery.

  I guess you didn't create a recovery Toshiba drive in the past is good?
  It was a big mistake buddy because the recovery disk would help you in difficult situations

  Well, as I said above; You can try to start the HARD drive recovery. If this will not help you I think that you would need a Toshiba Recovery disk.
  You can order it here:

  I need to restore the HARD drive recovery partition, I had to change the hard disk drive, because he's dead.

  Is there a link where I could download the files? IMG to ISO or any other program that can create a new partition for recovery on a new drive?

  Hello

  Whenever I have start browsing my laptop satellite c660 11 k there will be a kind of noise (hard to explain but beep like noise using come from older printers or fax machines) from my hard drive.

  Audible only when there is pin drop silence in the room. When the laptop was new there was no noise and later he started to come when I open windows navigation 4-5 and the sound comes now even if I start browsing. My hard drive is defective?

  Please can someone advice me on this.

  Hello

  My HARD drive sometimes creates similar sounds.
  I'm not quite sure about this sound but I save data always because some time ago one of my hard drives is dead and I could lose all my data so I would not have some backups created in the past of m

  I recommend doing the same thing
  Who knows what s wrong with the HARD drive, but I know with certainty that sooner or later all hard disks will die

• Satellite L10 151 does not load XP or drive recovery

  Hello

  I have a model of Satellite L10-151, and he won windows load t. Whenever I have try and run it, it says operating system not found. When I put the Toshiba recovery disks in that came with the laptop and I also bought a windows XP disk this load t won either.

  Help, please? The HARD drive has everything on it.

  Hello

  > I also pulled out the hard drive and put one in and it works fine it should be the hard drive but don't don t no what than the other.

  You can enter the BIOS (f2) to check if the hard drive recognized? It seems that your hard drive is fine, but it may be something wrong with the motherboard connectors.

• Re: Satellite P200-178 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Is it really possible to replace the HARD drive on this model? I have another satellite & which was 2 screws & pulling on one leg, job done.

  The P200 has an opening apparently get actually on the HARD drive but it gets you on the underside of the car, so I think that you will have to pass the upper part by means of the keyboard.

  Can anyone help? I lost 70 pounds on a HARD disk that cannot be mounted?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As far as I know on all models, it of possible to swap the HARD drive.

  According to the user manual on the underside of the laptop it is a case of HDD for HDD1 and HDD2. This coverage is provided by one or two screws, I think that should be deleted. After that, you are able to exchange the HARD drive.

  Take a look on the underside. HARD drive swap is not complicated and can be done in a few minutes. :)

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

• Unable to detect and open the HARD drive

  Hello. I have a Seagate 1 TB external hard drive. And my mac is running on the latest OS, I was still able to connect and open my hard drive on my mac, but after reboot my macbook only once after an update, I can access is no longer my hard drive. Why is it so? Is that what I can do to re - open and use my hard drive as usual?

  Restart and hold down command + R, this will take you to the recovery, you can test and repair the hard drive.

• Can no longer open the hard drive

  Hello

  I used my external hdd to 4 TB (connected to USB 3.0 to copy data through the CCC on another external hard drive.

  Somewhere in the Middle he stopped.

  When I try to open the 4 to (by clicking on it) the finder crashes - every time.

  I put inside my MP 4 TB hard drive, but the same thing happens. The continuous finder crashing, all the desktop icons disappear and this crash notice window: the last time that you open the Finder it quit unexpectedly...

  and it keeps.

  I can access the hard drive via the CCC and copy data from other disks. But there is 3.92 TB of data and I have to first find the space.

  In the initialization of the PC world, I would say that the Master Boot Record is damaged. But I don't know what it is on a hard drive to the Mac Format.

  Have you tried to run the concerned disk disk utility?

• Satellite P10 804: how to remove the HARD drive?

  I would like to remove the internal hard disk of 60 GB of my satellite P10 804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot find a way to enter in the case of removing the HARD drive.

  Does anyone have the details on how to do?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the HARD drive must be placed under the optical dirve.
  To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and the optical drive, and then follow the steps below:

  1. remove the four black screws that anchor the shield of aluminum covering the HARD drive and pull it out.
  2. gently pull on the HARD drive the front panel of the computer to disconnect the system board, then pull it out.
  3. remove the four silver screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

  But be careful. If you have no experience ask someone with more experience in these replacements.

• Satellite L300-144 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I have a problem: my laptop is Satellite L300-144, but I don't even know my hard drive model.

  Anyone know anything on this subject? And how replcae it? I mean where the hard drive is placed?
  And another question: is it available in BestBuy for example?

  THX

  Hello

  As Akuma said on the underside of the laptop, you will find a HARD drive cover is fixed by 2 screws I think. If you remove these screws, you can see the HARD drive and remove/Exchange it.

  Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives, and you can buy the HARD drive of every computer store where you want to.
  I have good experiences with Seagate and Western Digital hard drives but of course, you can buy a disk from a different manufacture. ;)

• Satellite L40 cannot start or recognize the hard drive

  Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

  You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
  As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
  Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

  Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
  By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
  And then you could boot from the new CD.

  > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
  > can not load hard drive
  > Insert systemdisk and press a key

  This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.

• Satellite 1900-303: can I put the hard drive 120 GB

  I have a S1900-303 and I think to raise the 120 GB hard drive. What are the problems, if any, are that I meet and I can do froom the Toshiba startup disk or do I just install XP from a XP disc?

  Hello

  That I myself remember Satellite 1900-303 has been delivered with the 30 GB HARD drive.
  So, in my opinion, 120 GB HARD drive size is too big and I presume that the BIOS of the laptop will not recognize the HARD drive!

  I think you can use a 40 GB, 60 GB and a 80 GB HARD disk.

  PS: you must search the HARD disk with the IDE (ATA-5) increased!

  Good luck and have a nice day

• Satellite A200 - Crackle sound comes from the HARD drive

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A200. When I start my laptop the patter comes from the hard drive.
  Someone knows something about it?

  Thank you

  In my view there s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
  My drive HARD click every time while accessing data on the laptop and everything run ok for 3 years.

  But that doesn t mean that there is no hardware problem with your HARD drive. Usually it's not easy to tell when a HARD drive wound begins to malfunction. My first HARD drive died after 6 years of use. But the other HARD drive died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by the warranty.

  Finally, I would recommend backup your data always on an external HARD disk to prevent data damage.

  Good bye
