Problem of storage space satellite L305-S5962 HARD drive when installing XP

Hello

Last week, I ordered two TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5962 for my children and finally happened yesterday.
I was so glad that I found all drivers XP needed for it on Toshiba USA website, however something weird happened when I went to install XP over there.

It came with preloaded Vista and while under Vista, I checked the HARD drive space it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read C 131 GB only partition.
So, if you round up to about 130 GB, where the other 90 GB's?

This problem has happened to these two Toshibas, and read the two HDD substantially the same.
In Vista, it reads close to 250 GB, but when installing XP blue screen (once I turn off the AHCI setting in BIOS) it reads at 131 GB. Is this some kind of driver issue? or to issue OS with AHCI?

On the Toshiba site there are two HARD drive drivers, are a .exe and the other a .zip file.
I tried both in the XP installation CD of nLite, but it does not help.
It still reads GB 131, so now I have no idea what to do, or maybe I have something wrong during the splicing of nLite?

In any case, if anyone has some insight on this problem, please let me know.

Thank you!

P.S. Here is the link to site from USA, for XP SP2/SP3 drivers, HARD disk drivers.

Even once, if someone has seen, thank YOU!

> I checked disk space HARD it is said about 250 GB (240 - ish), but during the installation blue screen boot XP it read the partition C 131 GB only.

The HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions.
The first partition contains OS preinstalled; Vista
The second partition contains the image of Toshiba HDD and the last third partition is hidden. It s a small partition created by Vista and it contains the backup files. These files can be used if something goes wrong with Vista OS or if Vista needs to be repaired.

So I guess you've seen only the first partition that contains the operating system Vista

    Hello

    If you have a valid key, you can download the iso file of Windows 7 from Microsoft.
    This image file can be burned to a disc.
    Then you can use this disk to install the Windows 7 and activate with valid key.

    But be careful: If you mean the serial key which is located at the bottom of the device, you would know that those keys cannot be used for activation of Win 7. Its key OEM belonging to Toshiba preinstalled image. I guess that it will not work.

  • Tecra M9 - no hard drive when installing XP

    Hi people,

    I've scoured Google, and it is a common problem with SATA drives.
    There is an easy way to just change the Bios to IDE, then install XP and restore after.

    It's problem... the V1.5 of the ACPI Bios has no options to make this change, or switch to Compatibility Mode (which also corrects the problem... apparently.

    I downloaded the BIOS ACPI V2, but the catch is that it won't work back - Windows only.
    So I'm stuck in an untenable loop!

    Without Windows, I can not change the BIOS-without the BIOS change - no hard drive seen...

    Anyone know of a DOS version? Or some other way?
    Until I go crazy?

    Oh, have tried also to install Win98, even Win 95 and then upgrade - but nothing works.
    Except Ubuntu - but unfortunately, I need Windows to be compatible with my desktop computer.

    Thanking you...

    Hello

    From my experience, you cannot use compatibility mode, installing WXP and go again in AHCI mode.
    F you want to have the full capacity of HARD drive you don't use compatibility mode. What you need to do is to load the SATA driver before installing WXP begins. More info on what you can read on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=38

  • problem with storage space - iPhone 4 - 32 GB

    Hello, I have an iphone 4 32 gb. I'm having a problem with storage space. A few days ago, that even though I was taking 5 GB of empty space, a notification appeared that storage is almost full. I deleted about 2 GB of photos and videos. He showed me 2 GB of free space, but after 1 hour again the same notification appeared. As soon as I have emptied my space with about 1 to 2 GB by deleting photos or videos, it is completed with other data.

    How should I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    What is the exact wording of the message? Could he be referring to iCloud storage?

    Also have you withdrawn your recently delete pictures and videos? Deleted ones is 'saved' for 30 days or more unless you intentionally delete/remove

    Why my iOS device I have more pictures that I can find?

  • Need satellite A10 - spec hard drive

    Hello

    I replace my hard drive on my A10. Anyone know is hard ATA or installed or SATA disk? What is the difference between them? And can anyone suggest what is the best choice, I try to buy something between 40GB - 80GB. I am based in the United Kingdom.
    A good site to recommend?

    Many thanks Tony

    I found the tracking info:
    -Improved interface IDE (ATA-5)

    I think that there should be no problem if you use the 40 GB HARD drive with your Satellite A10.

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

    Let us know if it helps.

    Kind regards

    There is no practical way to do it.

  • MacBook retina cannot find the USB hard drive when it is plugged again

    Hello world

    I have a MacBook retina 2015 computers and a hard drive WD elements USB3 that I use as a Time Machine backup when they travel. The drive is plugged into the USB - C through one of the Apple dongles and when I first start the computer, the USB is mounted and that it appears on the desktop. He does everything very well.

    When I want to take the machine away, I eject it, wait for the secure message and then physically disconnect the drive. However, when I go back and reconnect the drive, the Mac did not see it. The reader will be able as the light comes on and I can hear it turn. Just, it is not mount and is completely invisible for MacOS.

    I checked all connections, even used another dongle - no luck. A disconnect does not set, and I tried to reset the NVRAM. So far, the only solution is to reboot the Mac, afterwards the player reappears - at least until I need to unplug it again.

    Anyone got any ideas what is underway and if there is a fix?

    Thank you very much

    Mike.

    Hello, Mike Richards2,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    This is I think understand that you are not able to see an external hard drive when it is ejected, and then reconnect the computer.  I have some suggestions that I hope will help you.

    It is important to try to isolate what is responsible for this.  The first thing to do to help isolate what is causing the problem is to start the computer in what is called Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.

    Start in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Once the computer is running in safe mode, see if you can duplicate the issue.  If the problem does not appear, go ahead and try to reboot normally again.  If the problem has disappeared, it may have been caused by a problem of file or directory of cache fixed by booting in safe mode.

    If the question comes up, you'll want to check the login items.  Follow these instructions to remove the connection:

    OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible connection points

    Remove the connection, restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

    Have a great day!
