• Question about hard drive Partitions

  My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

  How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
  This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

  I would like some advice before as I did try.

  >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
  That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

  This recovery is important for two things:
  -for the creation of recovery DVDs
  -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

  Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

  You have to understand how it works?
  If you have any other questions please let me know.

• Re: Question about HARD drive partitions

  My uncle bought me a laptop Satellite A100 European 5 months ago and I don t have the card with me. Then all of a sudden, my operating system has been corrupted and I had to format my hard drive. I used the recovery CD I received with the laptop. The box contains 3 CD. I followed the instructions.

  I had to use two of the CD and now I only have one big disk.
  Is it possible for me to make the hard disk partition after formatting?
  Help, please!

  The description provided by sanremo only works with Vista.
  If you have a XP OS you will need a 3rd party application like Partition Magic 8, for example.
  I use this PM8 and I m very happy. This great software to create, manage and edit the partitions on the HARD disk.

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

  Hello.

  I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

  Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. After doing this, you can do with disk partitions you want.
  One day, if you want to reinstall Vista and have the factory settings, you can use this created DVD facilities.

  Please note: before installation of Vista drive HARD whole lance and ancient structure of the partitions is deleted. Data back up are required.

• Satellite 230cx: Question about HARD drive, memory and CD recovery.

  Can someone tell me if I can get a recovery for a 230cx disk? And what is the max hard drive that I have and RAM.

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Well, it is a very old unit. I think that it s about 8 or 9 years.
  However, I found the information that this unit has an internal memory of 16 MB and it of possible to upgrade the memory for max 144 MB (16 + 128MB)
  Also, this unit has been delivered with a 1.37 GB HDD part Nr.: P000229560
  I don t think you will be able to use a big HDD like 10 GB. The BIOS couldn't t recognize the HARD drive. Sorry but there is no information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

  The recovery CD, you must order the Toshiba service partner.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Question about HARD drive password

  Hello

  I think I was hit by a virus and my laptop won't start. Can't find the hard drive at all.

  So I did!
  The Lap Top now demand for HDD PSSWORD!

  I live in Poland and would like to know if someone knows something about it... or if there is any Toshiba authorized store for this problem in Warsaw.

• Questions about hard drive setup

  Hello

  I just built a Pr/AE Setup for my cousin and the only thing left set up now is hard drives. I'm no expert in this so I came to ask someone more wise.

  So that's what I have:

  1. 1 x 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD for the os/programs

  2. 4 x 2 TB Seagate hard drives in a RAID5 configuration

  3. 1 x 60 GB Kingston SSD

  I would be very grateful for any suggestion.

  You got it about now!

  Your cousin will need to learn about the location of the file to the Bank and how to clean records scratch etc to use Agency.

  About the 60 GB SSD, Yes to keep some of the files on it, but not to captured video / audio.

  Netither Scratch files or cached files are not deleted when closing first.

• Another question about hard drive setup

  Thank you all for the info on PC and installation material.  I have download the first CS4 trial version and it is awesome!  I have one last question? I read the rules for storage and editing platform.

  I noticed in the project settings, as there

  captured video

  Audio captured

  video excerpts

  Audio previews

  And in the preferences

  media database cache

  media cache files

  Correct me if this is incorrect

  Drive a my OS and files in project

  My second drive pagefile and media cache database and media file cache.

  Third disc captured video & audio and video previews and audio previews

  This system uses a combination of DV, AVCHD material.  I would add another hard drive?  I may be using raid 0 for the audio captured video edge.

  No problem. Especially for raid0 configuration, you can easily use the on-board raid functions. No sense getting a controller separated for this card.

• Tecra A4: Question about HARD drive replacement

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. Can someone tell me where I can find instructions to remove the HARD drive?

  Hi Niek

  As much as I know replacing the HARD drive is not complicated.
  The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You will find a HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw.
  Please remove this screw and remove the cover.
  Then you can remove the HARD drive attention.

  PS: I think that the HARD drive is placed in the chassis. You may also remove this framework to place the other HARD drive.

• Question about hard drive replacement on Equium A100-147

  My hard drive is only 60 GB with 2 GB of ram. Any body know if it is possible to upgrade the disk hard at, say 120 GB or more information on this model.
  If so where can she come from please?

  Hello

  I put t see any reasons why the 120 GB HARD drive should not work.
  The A100 series is a new series of laptop and controller HDD & BIOS should support these dimensions.

  But very important, is that you use a HARD disk with compatible interface and supported.
  As far as I know the laptop supports SATA HDD.

  Best regards and have a nice day ;)
