  Hello

  Recently, I bought a toshiba L650. There is only one hard drive c. (284 GB)
  There is also a Hidden recovery drive.
  But now I need to make a partition of the C Drive(284GB) as:
  C: 80
  D: 100
  E: 100

  Please can someone suggest me what should I do.

  What should you do?
  Initially create DVDs from recovery use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. This disk or recovery disk you can use in the future when you want to have out-of-box settings again.

  When you have the recovery disk, you can do with HARD drive all you want. You can remove the recovery partition. You can change the capacity of the partition. You can create new partitions.

  For this application use options in disk management or a third request for the part.

  Hello
  I have Satellite L40-12 X with 5400 RPM 120 GB HARD drive and I would like to buy a new HARD drive, but I wonder if 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be compatible with my laptop?

  Below is the basic information, but I can't find more information about it. Polish same technical support is not able to give me the answer. So, I would like to ask if there is someone who has replaced the HARD drive in this book and what type of HARD drive I can buy?

  You will not be able to find answers to these questions and Toshiba doesn't offer the database page or support for certain models of laptops with a list of all compatible parts.

  If your laptop's SATA HDD theoretically there should be no problem to use 500 GB HARD drive.
  It is: so it must be exactly 500 GB?

• I can integrated Toshiba MK1237GSX HDD on my Satellite L40?

  Hello
  Can someone please advise me if this drive is suitable for installation in a L40?
  Kind regards... Terence.

  Hello!

  I have used Google for this part number of the HARD drive and is it true that this HARD drive is 120 GB and SATA interface?

  If so I'm pretty sure that this HARD drive will work in the Satellite L40 because it has a SATA interface and I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
  How do you think about this?

  Good bye

• 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.

• Re: Question of HDD SATA of Satellite P750 - 02Q (type and number)

  Hi, I think to upgrade the hard drive of my Satellite P750 - 02Q, but I know not what SATA type it is (SATA I or SATA II and SATA III), and how disc can support? I think to slot in a SSD drive in there, but if she can support the SATA 2 drives, I can use the 750 GB drive at 5400 RPM existing as the second storage device.

  Appreciate your thoughts/responses.

  Thanks in advance!

  Remove the HARD drive and built-in HARD drive. On the disk label, you can find all the info. Buy the HARD drive, but with more capacity.
  I more older P500 and cannot say with certainty whether your P750 can be improved with the second HARD drive. If so there must be coverage of HARD drive to the second HARD drive. Remove it and check if the HARD drive connector is available.

• Question on installing XP on Satellite L40 - 13 c

  Hey people,

  Does anyone have experiences with the downgrading to XP on L40 - 13 c?

  Heard talk of so many problems of Vista I want rather avoid it until the teething problems have disappeared.

  Thanks for any help!
  Valve

  Hello

  I see no reason why you should not install the XP on the L40.
  Perhaps one; Toshiba XP drivers are not available at this time on the page.

  But in my opinion, it's just a matter of time. I think that the Toshiba will provide some XP drivers for what is another series of notebook!

• Question about updating Bios on Satellite L40

  Hello everyone!
  Can I upgrade the bios on my laptop, the Bios v. 2-20-v. 5 - 10?

  In the instructions, it is written:
  This Bios is only compatible for laptop computers equipped with Windows XP!
  And this Bios is only for models with Modelnumber PSL48x, PSL49x, PSL4Bx or PSL4Cx

  Two reasons:
  1. I use XP operating system.
  2. I have the laptop in the L4 series *.

  Hello

  I think the description of BIOS says it all;
  BIOS is only for the models with the model number PSL48x, PSL49x, PSL4Bx, or PSL4Cx

  This means that if your laptop * not * belong to one of these serial number, then you can not use the BIOS!
  The incorrect BIOS may damage the module motherboards ROM!

• Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

  Hello

  My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
  As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
  I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

  Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

  I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

  Any information received with gratitude

  Thank you Ron

  Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

  With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
  This would allow an advanced boot menu.
  Here you must choose repair computer

  But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

• Satellite L40 - 18Y: corrupt system files - how to use the recovery partition

  Greetings,

  One of my friends bought the Bulgarian electronic Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E) from a major retailer and insists on the fact that it came without any CD, but the first time he installed Vista.

  After that some of his other friends have uninstalled Vista and XP for unknown reasons (he says that some drivers and patches were necessary to make XP work properly, I think he might have something on LBA48 and SP1).

  In any case, installing XP died, and the disk share is the file system is damaged.
  After I removed it with gparted I have two disk actions now.
  1st row in the table to partition: ntfs share labeled WinRE (no hidden bootable)
  (He has a stash of file RavMon.exe and autorun.inf which implies that damage to the installation of XP are perhaps caused by a virus)
  Second row in the partition table: empty (installation of XP was)

  Third row in the table to partition: ntfs share with data

  The problem is that the first partition unbootable and act like partition recovery, even when I toggle the boot flag.

  It is all recovery partition and how I should go?
  I read in some messages if you press '0' when the computer starts the Bios it will start automatically, but it did not work.

  A manual which was available for download for this model on Toshiba Support site the key has been specified as F12. It didn't work either.

  I'll be very grateful for directions, solutions or ideas.

  Hello

  There is perhaps a little change to reinstall Vista with the HDD recovery procedure.
  Please check if it would work.
  -Turn on the laptop and press F8
  -Check if there is an option called fix my computer
  -If so, select it, and then choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

  But to be honest I don t see the chances it would work because you have already removed the Vista from the HARD drive.

  You must have read the user manual before deleting the Vista.
  The manual (Chapter 3), said that if the recovery DVDs has not been handed over with Notepad then you create the DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator (is was also preinstalled). The user manual also describes the above HARD drive recovery procedure.

  However, the recovery DVDs can also be ordered here:

• 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.

• Question about Satellite L40 and Vista 32 bit

  Hey all, I have the following problem.
  I have Satellite L40 series 2 PC and tried to install vista ultimate 32 bit, and they freeze only on the process of "complete installation."
  I read in some other forums and found it is not only my problem. I tried with 64 bit ultimate, it's all OK. It may be, the main problem is that it is not possible to install VISTA 32 bit.
  I only ultimate now, so my question is if anyone knows or installed to another type of Vista 32 bit on these series?

  Thanks before

  As far as I know that all new models of Toshiba laptops come with Vista 32 bit. Satellite L40 is offered in three different models, and each one also comes with 32-bit operating system. If you have the recovery DVDs with your laptop is Vista 32 - bit OS. I assume it must be the Home Premium version.

  I don't have a model L, but my model works well on Vista Ultimate.

• Satellite L40 - question about the CPU temperature

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 17 Q with Intel Celeron M CPU.

  The usual device temperature is about 60 degrees Celsius. I read that the Tj to this type of processors is 100 degrees Celsius.

  So my question is dedicated to the owners of laptops equipped with Intel Celeron M processors and of course for the hardware gurus.
  Is the operative temperature of 60 degrees Celsius of normal, and if not how do I decrease.
  My laptop is new and I make sure that the air flow openings are not jammed.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Don't worry, the CPU temperature. 60 degrees Celsius is certainly within the normal range, and there is no reason to worry about this. On my laptop Tecra, I noticed the temperature CPU about 62 degrees Celsius and drive HARD around 40 degrees Celsius.
