Question about HDD-set level on a Satellite A10

Hello, just want to update my laptop and everything interesting. This laptop supports 160 GB?
Maybe even, that the bigger HARD disk support this computer?
I think on 120 GB or 160 GB of best... And do not know what to do :)
Satellite A10...
Thanks for the tips

Hey there,

I think you should try it, because I think that the machine has been delivered with a maximum of 80 GB, but I do not know. You have the following options:

1. buy a 120 GB HARD drive around. Test it, you can not damage anything. If the drive is not recognized then bring it back to the shop and try a HARD disk with less memory (100 GB). Repeat the procedure, if the drive was recognized, hold it. :)
2. buy a 80 GB of HARD drive, which is known to work in this machine. It's the "securely".
3. do nothing and buy an external USB HARD drive. ;)

I hope that I could give you some thoughts on your way.

Welcome them

  • Question about hdd comments

    Hello

    My name is Tigran.

    First of all excuse me for my English.

    I have a question about comments HDD.

    I have a windows 7 machine 19.ne 60 GB provisioned thin disc comments.

    Today, I delete some files from the guest operating system and I free on about 20 GB of disk space. Now in my guest os used space on disk is of about 30 GB, but in vcenter disk space is always 50 GB. I understand that thin provisioned disk space grows when add us files to this disc, what would you say to resize to the bottom of the disk space?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately a virtual disc service end increases only in size if necessary, but does not automatically decrease if less space is needed for the guest operating system. If you want or need to reduce the size of the virtual disk, would be to run VMware Converter and make a volume base conversion (rather than on the disk).

  • Question about HDD temperature on Satellite M100-165

    My Hitachi 80 GB HDD on Satellite M100-165 is getting very hot. 50 - 55 c in general using Windows. And warmer that I see is 59.

    Is that normal values for M100?

    Hello

    How did you check this temperature? Did you use the 3rd party applications?
    To my knowledge, these applications don't provide a temperature exactly.

    Anyway, in my view the 55-60 ° C is not very hot for a HARD drive. You know that the temperature is dynamically the value and depends on how fast and time the HARD disk rotates.
    The HARD disk also turns when you use Notepad with General Windows applications and access the OS from the HARD drive.

    The temperature may also increase because the other parties such as the processor and graphics card produces heat. This temperature can increase the temperature of the HARD disk level.

    PS: The specifications are supported protection against overheating. If the temperature is too high the laptop will automatically stops.

  • Question about the management of feeding on Satellite P30

    Hi all

    I ve just had to replace my hard drive on my Satellite P30 in which I lost everything!
    Before that, I had a program including the fan speed and cooling c.p.f. set.
    I thought that it was the Toshiba power saver but I tried to install this and it seems that it s not the same
    program that doesn't do these things.

    My laptop seems completely disable when I m a game,.
    in the past I've refused the c.p.f. a level that seems to do the trick which I just can't do it now.
    He was an icon that looks like a pile of Paolo if that helps.

    Help, please?

    If the laptop is full of dust, and I can imagine that P30 can be pretty dusty after so long, I don't think the air blower it will be clean again. I had P20 and after two years of use, there was so can dust inside and cooling grill has been blocked.

    The laptop does not turn off, but it was strong enough and cooling fan was running without permanently.

    Anyway, I don't know what program you used but for Toshiba P30 offered own tool to optimize the system and power consumption.

    Did you find the name of this program?

  • Question about volume adjust the volume knob - Satellite Pro U300

    Hello

    I have a problem with the volume control. When I adjust the volume using the button on the left side of the laptop, I can only choose 3 levels of "loudness":

    No volume, very quiet volume and maximum volume (from rabies).

    Is this normal, is not anyone have problems with this?
    I hope that the problem is because of the digital volume adjustment screw. The adjuster does not record the exact position of the volume button. Every time when I get a phone call at work (I listen to internet radio), I turn off the radio by using the adjustment screw on the side of the laptop. When I end the phone call, I always need to open the laptop and the volume on the windows task bar, because when I use the device volume control on the left side of the laptop, it will just immediately at maximum volume.

    Welcome them

    Hello

    It s very strange that your volume control contains only 3 levels of volume
    I noticed that Toshiba has released a new driver (v. 6.0.1.5473) sound on the European driver page.

    How about if the update driver sound?
    Audio driver certainly controls the volume sound and in my opinion it s worth a try.

    Good luck

  • Question about Windows XP CD home for Satellite A105

    I have an A105 Satellite and recently it started running very slowly. With most of my machines I would wipe and rebuild them (all my data is backed up) but I don't have a CD Windows XP Home (it didn't is come with the laptop such as Windows has been pre-loaded - I think that this is the norm?).

    Is there a way to create the CD of the laptop or can I apply for a Toshiba?

    Thank you

    Steve

    Hello Steve

    Laptop computers are generally preloaded with the settings and also delivered with recovery media. Maybe in your country you can get laptop cheaper without the recovery CD. I don't know about you.

    What you can do is contact the partner of service allowed in your country and ask if they can order one for you. I'm sure that it should be possible.

  • Question about the BIOS on the 4000CDS Satellite?

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba 4000CDS a few weeks ago, when I start my laptop, I see:

    In touch with tomorrow

    Toshiba

    2 seconds after I need to enter a password to continue from win98. I don't know how to remove this password, and how do I access the bios. I tried F1, F2, F10, Del, Esc.
    Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    Hi kaffka

    I don't know Mr. what BIOS has the machine.
    As far as I know there are 3 options to enter the BIOS.

    1. portable computers equipped with Toshiba BIOS: you must press the ESC key shortly after the turn.

    2 laptops equipped with Phoenix BIOS: you must press the F2 key shortly after the turn.

    3 books (Satellite 5xxx series) with the BIOS through Windows Update:
    You can just press ESC after pressing the power, and then press the F1 key, this procedure sets the BIOS with the default settings!

  • Question about the Installation of XP on Satellite A100-307

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-307 with problems to install Windows XP. Model PSAA9E-11F03XFR

    The recovery CD is lost and I installed the laptop with a normal CD of Windows XP (sp2).

    During the Installation of the monitor is black.

    The Installation is without possible recovery CD?

    I created an Nlite CD with XP, but the SATA controller not found or the breaking of the Installation.

    Help me, please.

    Vtobi

    Hello

    essentially it s possible to install an of a real CD of XP/Vista OS, I think that this is the reason why Toshiba provides drivers on their driver download site.

    How do you mean that the screen remains black? More precisely, the description would be better...
    Another question: what SATA controller did you slipstreamed on the XP CD? I hope that you´re to the topic the A100 has an older controller (should be an ICH7M).
    By the way: have you ever seen this Toshiba document? : http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

  • Question about the extension of RAM for Satellite A50-522

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A50-522, with a Pentium M 715 @1. 5 Ghz processor and Intel 855GME chipset. To expand its RAM I referred to the Spain/Toshiba support website and I bought the PA3313U-2M1G (1 GB SDRAM 166 MHz DDR333/PC2700) via amazon.com. It turns out that this RAM is for "Alviso chipsets" - which are those relating to the Intel Centrino processors with 9xx series express chipset. I called Toshiba/USA and they recommend the PA3313U-1M1G or its equivalent Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G (since it is impossible to find in the Mexico), instead of the one I already bought. They all seem exactly the same thing in their description, except for the note "alviso chipset.

    My questions are:
    (a) is the chipset of this computer, considered "alviso" type? and
    (b) if not, should I keep the RAM I bought already (PA3313U-2M1G for alviso chipset)?, can I have performance or compatibility problems? What are the risks of the use of this "alviso RAM' in a 'no-alviso chipset? I deeply appreciate your input.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The RAM modules for especially for chipsets alviso are not known to me, but the Satellite A50-522 certainly supports the memory PC2700 PA3313U-1M1G bar.
    I guess the PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G are the same modules from memory.

    PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G memory module are supported the same specifications of 1 GB - SO DIMM 200 pin - DDR - 333 MHz PC2700

    I think you can use both modules without any problem.

  • Question about change in ODDs region settings - Satellite Pro A120

    Why are there at - it limit the number of times, you can change the region settings when you watch DVDs from other countries? Why?

    They don't realize the world becomes smaller and is it possible to buy DVDs from anywhere in the world? They refuse to help the global economy? I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 with a carpet * a UJ841S optical drive that is locked on region 1, how can I get it unlocked and how do I get it so I can watch DVD so many different regions without having to be limited to the region of switching 5 times? Of course, I'm not the only person who feels this way, come on Tosh do something to help the consumer.

    Can anyone help?

    Published by: ADMIN

    Hi Paul

    What to say I put t understand this too, but there are some restrictions of manufacturers of different record companies and movie studios that don t allow you to change the region code.

    The world is divided into 7 regions of DVD.
    Region 1 - Canada and the U.S.
    Region 2 - Europe, Japan, Middle East and South Africa
    Region 3 - South and Southeast Asia
    Region 4 - Australia and South America
    Region 5 - Africa, the Russia and the rest of Asia
    Region 6 - China

    Readers of generation original DVD came with a firmware level that became known as RPC 1.
    RPC 1 discs themselves are able to play any region but depends on the installed Reader software to control which region is played.

    But most DVD players (* not matter what is manufacturing *) are equipped with the RPC-2.
    RPC 2 drives usually come with a limit of 5 change on the regions, once the counter reaches 0, your drive is locked permanently in the last region it was settled in.
    Even if you reformat or move the drive to another system, it will be always locked to the last region.

    Such a region code limitation is very annoying for everyone, but nothing to do
    Of course you will find many websites that provide any software programs and free non-legal area, but for the most part, these programs can damage firmware own disks and this would lead to bigger problems. In most cases readers cannot handle all mediums and can not read or burn to CD/DVD.

  • Question about the extension of RAM on Satellite M30X 163

    Hello

    I can install it as an extension of RAM on my laptop model?
    I have now 2 x 256 MB (default factory equipment).
    I'd appreciate any help about my question:
    Type, frequency, the maximum capacity for each of the 2 slots?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    According to the specification for laptop, your laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM and 1 GB of RAM followed the part number - PA3313U-1M1G. Put this number in Google and you will find info on this compatible RAM module.

    To avoid compatibility problems, I recommend using the compatible RAM only.

  • Question about the battery life of the Satellite L40-139

    It's maybe a stupid question, but I have a portable Satellite L40-139 and the battery lasts less time, is this correct.
    In the power management, I chose energy-saving. I used to be a mobile system and it could take 2-3 hours. The answers would be great.

    The laptop uses Vista. Am I wrong?
    Well, I don't wonder that you can run Notepad only for an hour approximately.
    Vista needs for more resources as a BONE at the beginning. In addition, there are a few bugs in Vista, who have a bad influence on the performance of the battery!
    You can perform a search in internet for Vista and the problem of battery on laptops and you will find a lot of information.
    The same laptop with XP runs twice as long on battery as with Vista.

  • A few questions about his, BIOS and drivers on Satellite P100

    Hello

    Just bought the Satellite P100-188, thought I'd go with a top brand machine, however, on commissioning I am a little concerned about the quality of the speakers who tend to sizzle and distort. If right or wrong I thought that Harman Kardon would deliver the goods. I tried the reset options in the Panel, but being a novice when it comes to search in the "engine room", I'm worried I have settle something important or worse clear settings. Can someone advise.

    NVidia also uncertain whether to update the drivers if early machine bought this week, I notice an update of the driver is available, the driver that is currently installed is version 8.3.2.0.

    Can anyone tell if the BIOS updates are also needed, once again an update 2.10 is shown available but with a WARNING of WTH UPDATE message. This sort of thing is far beyond my understanding of computers, so I would be grateful for anyone offering a perfect beginner tips.

    Hello

    The quality of the sound on the speakers depends on the design of laptops and laptop performance. As far as I know the speaker are a bit smaller than on multimedia laptops.
    If you want to change some of its settings Iwould recommend to go into the control panel and you should find the Manager Realtek HD sound effects. Here it is possible to change an option in the demo audio 3d.

    You also asked for a graphics card driver. You know that driver graphic Toshiba are not similar to the nVidia drivers. In addition the original nVidia drivers are not designed for the use of the laptop but for desktop PC.

    The update of the BIOS is not a simple thing. If you use bad BIOS or update procedure wrong so it is possible that you may damage the motherboard. So if the BIOS update is not necessary, you shouldn't t do.

  • Question about changing setting DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.

    This weekend I saw our Flash recovery area almost 100% and after reading following wire db_recovery_file_dest_size 37580963840 bytes is 98.29% used and 6442 I decided I have to increase the size of 12 to 14 to tuberculosis.  I believe the following will work:

    ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 14 T. SCOPE = BOTH;

    My questions: is it possible at any time?  If the database can be online?  What I have to do special if we use ASM?

    FYI, I've already checked that ASM has enough space to support the to 14.

    Yes, you can do so at any time, and Yes, the database can be online.  DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE is nothing other than a quota of bookkeping.  It actually does not reserve a space on a BONE or an ASM base FRA.  It is up to you to make sure enough space really exists and nothing outside of FRA operations are allowed to encroach on it.

    For example, we had a case here just last week where someone was getting errors because there wasn't enough disk space actually available to write a rman backup item.   The OP thought that because its specified rman command a disk backup format which was a directory in the FRA, and queries of the FRA have plenty of space, showing that it should have the space.  Problem is that it was not by specifying to use the FRA FRA.  Its backup pieces were written in a directory that has been used by the FIU, but his use of the format command means that it was not considered by rman to make part of the FRA, so has never been deducted from the quota.  It was physcially more disk space, and routines of rman management didn't know what hit them.
