• Portege M300 (PPM30A) - lost access to HARD drive recovery

  Portege M300 model PPM30A-02E001.
  At some point during the installation a Sony camera I lost access to my hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) where I can make the recovery disks.

  I can see it in disk management tools, but the link is missing.

  Is there a way I can make the link? "Brand recovery disc" icon is gone as well.

  Please, I beg you.

  Hello

  Wait a moment, please: why you write about on the hidden partition HARD drive recovery? I think you mixed up something!
  On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition, but it has nothing to do with the option HDDrecovery from Toshiba. This on the hidden partition is a feature of Windows, also called Windows recovery environment!

  Normally HDDrecovery files are stored on the second partition in a file of the same name. Can you access the second partition?

  If this isn't the case, I think the only chance is to order a new recovery disk. Therefore, you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

• Portege M700 - protection of HARD drive problem

  Hello world

  I searched the net for a full day now try to find answers to this.
  Note, I am an accountant and not a computer geek.

  I have a laptop Portege M700. I am updating from Vista to Win7.

  Here's the problem:
  -Initially tried to uninstall Toshiba HDD Protection via Control Panel and got the message error "internal error 2753 setupftc.exe.
  -Then searched the Internet and realized that I had to stop the service first. Note that I does NOT initially stop the service in the Service Manager.
  -Now went in the Service Manager to seek Protection of HARD drive and it is not at all.
  -Returned east to configuration-Toshiba HDD Protection Panel is listed as a program. It will not always uninstall it... the activiates Assistant uninstaller, and after a few seconds, he simply says the same error message is ' «internal error 2753 setupftc.exe»»

  -a search on the internet about this error does no useful result. They underline that the registry cleaner programs. I have NOT installed the registry cleaners.

  - then I went to the registry and created a backup of the registry.
  Then tried all the items containing 'HDD Protection' and started deleting them hoping that it would work.
  Then I tried to uninstall.
  The computer popped up a message stating that a restart is required.
  Tried to restart and got a blue screen.
  Then restared in safemode, reloaded the old registry file and VOILA the computer is back to normal again.

  BUT...
  I can not even uninstall HDD Protection. Get the same bloody error.

  -then downloaded the site Web of TOSHIBA HDD Protection file.
  Try to install this file... I get the same error, i.e. "internal error 2753 setuptfc.exe.

  Ok.. now, I'm ready to give up.

  Really, I didn't wipe my comptuer clean to do a fresh install, because it's such a big hassle. And I'm an accountant, not a computer expert so I don't know what to do for a new installation.
  For the time I've wasted on this already, I probably just to find instructions on the net and then made a complete new installation.

  All the advice to fix it, pleeeeeeeeeeeease! : ??

  Thank you.

  So clean Toshiba HDD protection tool didn't help installation then some registry entries must be screwed to the top.
  Believe me, best you can do is to install the OS to aid installation of HARD - disc of recovery http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm recovery mode or use if you have a.
  After a clean install of Vista, everything will work correctly, and then you can start with the Win7 upgrade procedure.

• Use 'Protection of HARD drive utility' in SSD drive?

  I replaced the HDD with SSD and reinstalled my Windows. Accidentally, I installed "utility protection of HARD drive? It is absolutely useless in system with SSD? Should I uninstall this utility?

  Thank you.

  For a month I use SSD with my laptop satellite. I installed original recovery image which includes the protection of HARD drive utility. I can start, but it is inactive.

  Strange thing is that with the HARD drive it was idle too. To be honest, I don't care about it. It is preinstalled but I have disabled auto-start.

  I think you can remove the system.

  First of all, its just hang without any reason and the Dungeon of the HARD disk on the reference protection are shock on my laptop but its nothing happen even a shock.

  I leave my laptop on my desk and its also happens. Can someone tell me what is the problem for my laptop?
  Once 1 turn off the HDD, its become ok protection.

  Hello

  The history seems a bit strange and mysterious.

  First of all it s very strange that the laptop crashes without reason and that the protection of HARD drive tool reports errors.

  According to these two questions, I assume that your disk is not ok and it possible s it fails.

  In such cases and HDD replacement is desirable to check if it helps to solve both of these annoying problems.

  Hello Ben.

  This software is tested with the original configuration s notebook.
  Are you sure that Toshiba supports these updates on this laptop model? I don t think so.

• Portege R830 - model with SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I am considering buying a Portege R830. I've yet to decide between the Portégé R830-10R (model with HARD drive) and the Portégé R830 - 10 p (model with a 256 GB SSD). To do this, I would like to know:

  -What is the SSD model assembled in the Portégé R830?
  -It uses a standard SATA connection or an owner like the previous Portégé R700 SSD?
  -Have someone replaced the original HDD to the Portégé R830 by a whole new SATA 3 SSD? Wich one? It works fine?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi MadVet,

  The SSD of Portege R830 - 10 p is a model of Toshiba 2.5 so it does not work in Portege R830. In addition due to the 2.5 form factor it uses SATA standard interface as normal hard drives.

  In my opinion, you should take the model with SSD. 256 GB is enough for the operating system and applications as well as for some important data. If you need more disk external HARD disk space use. SSDS are very fast and you will see the performance of the SSD HARD drive instead ;)

• Portege R500 - install Win XP - no hard drive detected

  Hello

  I just bought a new Toshiba Portege R500 notebook - 12 H with Windows Vista, and I would like to format the hard drive and install Windows XP instead.

  I have a Windows XP CD (the one from my old PC), I insert the disk and start the laptop computer on the installation of the Windows XP CD to load, I get the screen asking me "push F3 to quit, entry to install XP" (as usual).
  But when I click on 'install', it says no hard drive has been detected, and I wonder if I have any additional drivers.

  How is it possible that my 120 GB HD is not detected? It is in a format that does not know Windows XP? Can I get a driver, how can I install it? Can I upgrade the bios?

  Please help me ;)

  Thanks for all,

  Missing driver SATA.

• Portege R500-100 - drivers after format HARD drive

  Hey,.

  First post so go easy :)

  I reformatted my hard drive the other day, but the drivers for my laptop support is poor.

  The audio drivers are not working, I have several unknown devices in Device Manager in need of drivers, but I don't know what drivers to install.

  Anyone could point us in the right direction?

  Its a r500-100

  Hey Buddy,

  Why you are not satisfied with the Portege R500 driver support? I mean can you all the drivers on the site of Toshiba, and for most versions of Windows. Just follow the link posted by Al - eX.

  And you should install all the drivers you can find on the Toshiba site. After that, you use all the functions of your mobile phone and you get back to factory settings.

• Portege M300 - update the graphics driver

  Hello

  I have starteg get random crashes while trying to open Word documents and others.

  The Microsoft Online Crash Analysis tells me that I should update my graphics driver. It is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and Intel homepage shows updates available. Intel also alert you that some manufacturers to customize this driver, so before chack updated.

  There is no update driver doesn't appear on the Tosh site.

  Question: Is it safe to update on the Intel site?

  Thank you, Richard

  Well, I checked the site Toshiba driver and the graphic driver for M300 was published on 28/01/05. The version was 6.14.103937.

  I read many comments here in the forum on the graphics drivers and it seems that generally it s advisable to use the graphics drivers from Toshiba but I think you can also try installing the Intel graphics driver.

• Portege M200 - the hard drive failed

  My 60 GB Toshiba hard drive failed in my Portege M200.

  I tried mounting a hard drive, I had in my old laptop, a 30 GB Hitachi hard drive but the laptop doesn't seem to recognize it. Does need a Toshiba hard drive or is the laptop died, when I put the hard drive in I get message invalid startup disk.

  The old hard drive goes to a blue screen then restart the laptop.

  No there not Toshiba HDD only. I found the list of some compatible hard drives for this old Portege.
  You can use follow hard drives:
  -TOSHIBA HDD2193B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2171B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2184B
  -TOSHIBA HDD2194B
  -HITACHI G8BC00014410
  -HITACHI G8BC00014610
  -HITACHI G8BC00015610
  -HITACHI G8BC00014810

  Anyway, when you try to use new BIOS to check updated HARD drive and if default settings the new HARD drive will be recognized correctly in the BIOS settings.

  Old HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  Have you tried to install the OS by using old HDD?
