Portege HDD 3480CT - where is it?

Hello
Have just been given what precedes by a friend and I wanted to exchange the HARD disk existing 6 GB for a HARD drive of 20 GB, but with no manual for it, I don't know which of the screws numbered (B4/B10) to undo to get access to the HARD drive.
Anyone have / know of a guide to the user for this kind of things the Portege 3480 - the Toshiba site doesn't have one for download.
Can anyone help?
Concerning
Martin

Hello

Unfortunately, I put t find any official documents about this unit and
I m not 100% sure, but I think the HARD drive is under the keyboard.
To replace the HARD drive, you will need to carefully remove the top cover, then the keyboard.
Nevertheless, I suggest to contact the service partner for information more accurately.

Good bye

    Hi Widget,

    To be honest, I doubt anyone here can tell you the part number of this cable. It s only a user to user forum where you can talk with normal people like you and me.

    In my opinion, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them:

    Hello

    Where did you come from?

    As far as I know the European notebooks from Toshiba are always equipped with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    However, try to contact the ASP in your country and ask if the restore CD is available for you Portégé R500.

    If this isn't the case, then I recommend to check your system and installed applications.
    Sometimes, there is an option to create a clean recovery CD/DVDs.
    In this case, you will need to burn this image of Toshiba on the DVD.

  • ProtectTools question: decryption of an encrypted HDD ProtectTools where windows does not start.

    Hello!

    I have a HARD drive that has been encrypted with the HP ProtectTools of Windows7 drive encryption.

    Computer is here 8460p.

    For 2 years, it starts well and gave me no problems until my windows did not start as expected.

    (The reason for windows won't start don't no is a mixture of live without local area coupled with windows bug regarding these services)

    In short: all the works of passwords and Windows 7 64 starts but me comes in some way in the newspaper of the sequence.

    Given that I can't start windows on the encrypted HARD disk I can't decipher the reader...

    As the drive is encrypted it can not be read from the outside

    Since the PtotectTools of HP, started from an external win WHAT HDD 7 cannot see that the drive is encrypted

    Since then, I'm totally stuck.

    It really sucks that even if I have all the passwords available, saved on USB keys and have them in mind, cannot reach the data.

    Is there a HP tool that can decrypt the drive when I have all the necessary keys?

    best regards / Fred

    My colleague found the right tools. Took me 2 hours to recover all the data!

    After replacing the drive HARD defective (service) allowed, I have no software - emty HDD. Where can I get software (including Windows 7 and TOSHIBA utilities) preinstaled?

    THX

    Hello

    You can restore any preinstalled software (Windows 7, Toshiba utility, etc.) using Toshiba recovery disc. You have this drive?

    I put t know what phone you have but since Vista recovery disk must be created yourself. Therefore, you need to start creator Toshiba Recovery disk which is preinstalled on your laptop.

    But it seems now that it s too late and if you don t have a recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Normally after you first start your computer laptop (out of box) you get a reminder message of recovery that you need to start this recovery disk creator and you can find more details in your manual user name:

  • Adding an SSD in HP Pavilion 15

    Hi all.

    Consider buying an HP Pavilion 15 (model P002EJ ) to be precise.

    It comes with i7 4510U, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD and 15.6 "screen FHD.

    I just wanted to ask: can I install an SSD in this laptop without removing the existing HARD drive?

    Just add to the laptop or to replace the optical drive with SSD drive (or most certainly move the HARD disc instead of the optical drive using a few installation SSD and HDD Caddy where the original HARD drive was) is accepted. Replace the existing HDD (out of the laptopshould be the last resort, if nothing is possible.

    Thanks much for any info and help!
