• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)

  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

• HP 14-r025tx: what is the maximum size of hard drive I can replace my default one? & other hard disk performance issue

  My default hard disk is almost full and I plan to update. What is the maximum size that this model could overcome? Very well is 2-3 to?

  Another question.

  I replaced my optical drive to a box with a 250 GB SSD HARD drive inside. I installed my new operating system here, and makes the default boot drive. The default value of HARD drive that comes with the laptop is my backup drive. This is configured by okay?

  or

  Do I have to put my SSD on the default HARD drive space and put my 2 to/3 TB harddrive on the caddy for maximum performance?

  Hello

  1. in theory, you can get 2 TB or TB but 1 TB has better peformance.

  2. you cannot boot from the caddy. My suggestion: use for normal Bay and 2 TB SSDS in the caddy. You both what you want.

  3. as (2) above.

  Kind regards.

• Re: Qosmio F60 / 05 M - PXE - E61 media test failure and hard disk failure

  Hello

  My problem is the computer freezes often and has problems with windows Explorer. Also, it will freeze when in games. I don't know if the issues are related, but after freezing when it starts to reboot, it will come with a black screen reading;

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  When I press on no matter what happens with the same message. If I turn off the laptop by the power button and give it some time before turning on it gives me the option to start windows in safe mode or normal if I choose Safe mode, it does not start. Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test. It gives me no explanation.

  This problem has happened several times in recent weeks.

  The model is:
  Qosmio F60 / 05 M PQF65A-05M02W

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you
  Mick

  Hi mick,.

  > Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test.
  It would be also my staff believes that something is wrong with the HARD drive itself, I mean if the computer attempts to boot the HARD internal access and Windows boot disk, but if the computer can't find the HARD internal disk, it tries to boot from LAN

  According to me, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys should check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.
  In addition to backup all your data if you didn t it yet. Therefore, you can use an external USB HDD.

• Broken BONES and HARD disk installation

  my laptop fell and the hard disk has been overwritten. I change with the new hard drive. I want to install the OS even if I need windows product key to install on the same laptop but the new hard drive. Where can I get that or is it possible...

  You now have two options:

  1 / to install original created recovery image recovery (USB or DVD) media. If you have created a? If you do not you can order. For the installation of recovery you need not key product

  2 / Installing the OS using the Microsoft installation disc. This has nothing to do with Toshiba and produces the key that you got for the recovery image (original version OS that you got with your laptop). In this case, you must buy it and pay the license for this version of the OS

• Satellite A30: Replacement of RAM and HARD disk

  I am about to replace the HARD drive in my Satellite A30 with a 100 GB one and update the RAM in both slots 1 & 2. Can someone give me a step by step guide to do this?
  Also to clean the mouse buttons leave because they no longer work correctly

  Thank you very much

  Hi Andy,.

  To replace the hard drive, you need to remove the F5 screw on the bottom of the laptop. This will allow the optical drive to slide toward the front of the laptop so that you can get on the hard drive.

  Remove the four screws (2 on each side) that hold the hard disk, and then gently slide forward to disconnect its multi connector.

  Remove the two metal (one on each side) of the old drive brackets and attach them to the new drive then carefully replace the new drive and drag it to the back of the laptop (be careful not to bend the pins).

  Finally replace the optical drive and fix it with the screw (F5).

  Remove the RAM modules is described in the manual of the A30 user but briefly it is to remove the screws holding the access plate on the bottom of the laptop, and then releasing the fasteners securing spring-loaded modules RAM, so that they can be angled to allow them to be removed from the location of connectors. The new modules can be inserted (they won't be back in a sense) and pushed into place until the fixing pins 'click '. It is very important that you take adequate and anti-static precautions before accessing RAM modules as they can easily be 'flashed' by a discharge of static electricity.

• How to restore a previous backup on a new install of XP Pro and HARD disk?

  I have experienced HARD drive failure last week and has spent a lot of time trying to retrieve the data. I have a previous backup on an external drive, but when I try to restore the files to a new HARD disk with a new installation of XP Pro - files copy them all, but none of the programs or features network work?

  I was going to just to reinstall everything from scratch and just use the recovered data and log files after all the programs I use for my business back... Is there an easier way? Why Windows does not support a backup feature when it does not replicate the system on a new HARD drive correctly or I do something wrong? I can access is no longer the disc HARD death after that I got everything I could out of it (2 x backup and a copy of all important files) before it just completely fried.

  I bought a new HARD drive and installed XP then tried restoring the system to a new HARD disk and all the files are there, but not where they all should be (My Documents is empty and aka 'Of Joe Documents' are stored in a separate folder elsewhere in the new HARD drive) and none of my programs work properly - my antivirus software (CA Security Suite 2009) is , but continues to tell me that none of this is installed. Microsoft Office does not work - tells me that it's just a trial - and Outlook will not retrieve my emails, Outlook looks like not even the same. None of my networks will work with other office machines, but somehow, I have access to the internet through the network...!

  I have to format the new HARD drive in the same directory that the backup was of? (he's currently: / instead of C: / for some reason any) And the name of the account PC should be accurate? (he is currently Documents of Pete Peter's Documents instead).

  I feel blurred by microsoft because I myself prepared for something as it happens and now my company is still paralyzed because the backup does not restore the functionality of my system. Please tell me if I did something wrong and I don't have to buy all my software licenses again after reinstalling ALL my software that has already been restored from a backup. I spent the last few days to Google search without result.

  Hello
  the only problem with restoring a backup, it's that the hd would be slower than a new installation

• Messed up partitions and hard disks into recovery mode!

  I got the bootmrg is missing an error code.  So then I had to download a http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ vista recovery disk and I then placed this .iso file on my usb drive using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/.  Here I probably should have simply chosen to restore my system from recovery mode, but I decided to mess around with the partitions.  Now, I don't know what I did to my readers and partitions.  Help, please!

  Hello

  This "Recovery" disc Neosmart is not a recovery disk to put anything back to the factory settings.

  He fact that Startup Repair, restore the system to an earlier date, etc.; It's not not to reinstall Vista.

  "but I decided to mess around with the partitions.  Now, I don't know what I did to my readers and partitions.  Please help! »

  And we have no idea what you did to your partitions either.

  I suggest you reinstall Vista; choice regardless of the method, you can go to the methods provided here.

  Different ways to reinstall Vista:

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer (if you have not destroyed it).

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the right sequence of button...

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  See you soon.

• Re: Satellite C50D - A - 13 G - boot from HARD disk, you can't install Win on new SSD

  I recently bought an SSD to improve performance a little, I of course want to install Windows on this.

  The problem is that the laptop recognizes that the SSD is here, it tries only to start from what he can of course because it is empty.

  Announces 'Check media [fail]' as well as ' no. Bootable Devices Found '.

  I went into the start menu and tried booting from CD and USB, none of these options work, and again, the system attempts to boot from the Virgin SSD.

  I've set both the USB and the DVD drive as the first boot device. Yet once, none of them work and you guessed it, the system attempts to boot from the empty unit.

  What Miss me? There must be a way to get the system to boot something other than the Virgin SSD.

  Out of curiosity, but what version of Windows you trying to install?

  Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

• [ESXi] The used hard disk performance

  I know that the location of storage for virtual machines affect performance,

  I wonder if quality hard drive I use to install ESXi (I would welcome my VMS on different hard drives in RAID configurations) makes a difference in how to perform virtual machines?

  ESXi is running in memory and rights back config changes every 5 minutes from what I can remember. Make sure you just config your syslog space and scratch.

• Comments XP not recognize new allocation of memory and hard disk size

  I'm under Fusion 3 on a new IMac 21.5 "running 10.6.1 with 8G of RAM with XP SP3 guest.  Just migrated since late 2006 MacBook 2.06 merger to help Mac running migration wizard, then upgraded to Fusion 3.

  Main problem is that when I updated to the size of the hard drive of 40G per 100 G and changed the memory allocation of 2G to 6G, Windows operating system does not change.  Windows reports 3G memory and 40G hard drive.

  Other questions:

  OS (or VMware) is also unstable and crashes, sensitive sentence without indicating CPU heavy and sometimes does not restart, requiring force to leave.  Usually, will run 30-45 minutes before crash. One application I run is Revit 2010 (which is also unstable, has just installed service release 2).

  Tried to install new comments, but get the message "No boot device" - seen a thread for this and create the ISO image.

  David: I can't help you with the RAM, but I had the same problem when I expanded my virtual HD 20 GB to 30 GB.  Windows XP always thought 20GB and called the rest "unallocated space".

  There is a beauty of a freeware program called Easeus Partition Master - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html?tag=mncol%3bpop&cdlPid=10982635.  Run on the Windows side (at least it worked for XP) and it should show 2 discs.  Highlight the one you want to extend, click on (expand / resize), drag the divider to full size of HD and then 'apply' and he has done the partition in about 5 seconds for me.  Problem solved.
