Re: Satellite L300 - Keep recovery partition when you use DBAN

Hello

I usually use DBAN to wipe my drives, however, I am interested in doing this on a laptop without destroying the recovery partition.

Essentially on a satellite L300 I want to erase the HDD using DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) (while maintaining the recovery partition), and then perform a clean installation of Windows 7. Is this possible or should I look at another alternative?

Thank you

I don t use DBAN and may not give you the right answer, but one thing I must say: create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator pre-installed and after doing this, you can do whatever you want.

If a problem occurs, you can install OS using these disks.
Please note: when you install using Win7 clean recovery of recorded disc image non-Toshiba makes no sense more because you will not be able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. For factory again, you must use Toshiba recovery DVD.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 is hot when you use the knee

    Hello.

    I have a 2100.
    I started using it again after using it not for a few months.

    I noticed when it is sitting on my lap if feels very hot and the fan comes on a very large number.
    The problem is that I don't remember if it was always like this or if it's a recent thing.

    Anyone know if this is normal behavior or the computer can run a bit on the warm side of the signs?

    I have don t wonder that temperature increases when using the laptop on the lap.
    The fact is that the cooling modules are placed in the bottom of the laptop and you would clutter the cooling fans using the laptop on the lap
    I recommend to use the notebook on the desk and leave enough free space around the unit.
    Last but not least, you should check if the fans are not clogged with dust and debris.
    In most cases the dust prevents the cooling fans work properly and this leads to a higher temperature.

    Clean the cooling modules with a jet of compressed air, that you can buy it from the other computer dealers or online.

  • Satellite L300 - 29 X just crashes when you use some of the programs installed

    I bought a Toshiba L300 29 X for my daughter (30 years) help in its work of the University.
    Since we took this home and installed the OS it is questions. At first, I thought it was to do with Vista and so I bought the upgrade to Windows 7 and installed, but the same issues are there it just freezes when you use some of the programs installed.

    I tried restoring factory several times with Vista and still once I even made restoration to the first State to install W7 disk then updated from the web and then she still uses it for his United work and it freezes.

    There is nothing wrong with his work United as when using my laptop or even its partners a there aren't any issues or problems.
    Programs are in Office 2007 and it is the same copy I have in my laptop and they are both up-to-date.

    Its mobile partners is lower than its own specification and has less RAM so that to have only a single processor.
    I tried to install the W7 as a 32-bit and a 64 bit OS, and whenever there is any change in the problems with programs

    Can someone out there suggest a possible cause or same difficulty for am I at the end of my knowledge on this issue and my daughter is about to throw the thing out the window.

    Hello

    I think that the described issue could be related to a hardware problem, given that the laptop should not have problems running the Microsoft Office applications.

    In many cases, the s for laptop system could freeze due to a higher temperature.
    My girlfriend repeatedly asked for help because the laptop froze too.

    But the problem was linked to a higher temperature because cooling fans were clogged and cooling fans might not work correctly. She used the laptop sitting on the couch and there was not a lot of free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation

    I want to say is that there are several reasons for such behavior annoying cell phone I think it would be wise to check the hardware first
    This should be done by the technician of the ASP.

  • I just picked up a 12 inch I have pad PRO and bought a keyboard provided by Apple, however I find that the base remains unstable and keeps the hustle when you type, the seller it says it's a design flaw. Can someone tell me if this is the case?

    I just picked up a 12 inch I have pad PRO and bought a keyboard provided by Apple, however I find that the base remains unstable and keeps the hustle when you type, the seller it says it's a design flaw. Can someone tell me if this is the case?

    find it hard to imagine that Apple could sell these defective products.

    If the seller is an authorized Apple reseller, an independent company,

    You may need to ask you if you could see & try a different product sample

    because you might be looking at something that has a defect.

    {According to the related help page, Type position should be more

    stable to use. However if the keyboard is not flat, this sounds like default.}

    Sounds as if you're not at the official Apple Store (apple retailer)

    but, on the contrary, are somewhere else. Could you give more information?

    Some keyboard accessories are made by third party companies; so

    If the product has an Apple product model number, we note here.

    When considering the purchase of an accessory, it's a good idea to test

    and check in the store before you buy. An official Apple Store has

    a different return policy as an independent reseller of Apple.

    Don't know if I can be useful; These chat rooms are usually Apple

    users of products such as yourself, who have taken their unpaid time

    to see if they can help the other users of the product.

    Good luck...!

  • Stor.e TV + loader error keeps coming up when you turn it on

    I experienced ongoing problems accessing the hard drive. Error message "No Loader" keeps coming up when you turn it on.

    The so-called 'solution' to this problem on this forum is to open the box and play with the cables. While I had some success with this method initially, disassembly of the box 10 times a week is not on.

    In desperation, I tried something else.
    When the message no. Loader is in place, I pass in the box and the new on the remote control.
    After 2 or 3 times, and then the folder of the HARD disk appears generally.

    I did that constantly now with great success. However, this suggests that the error no. Loader is NOT a mechanical connector with the hard drive problem, but (as usual) poor software (what else?).

    Dismantling of the unit is shut down for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.

    Put the unit on and off the power several times also solves the problem of file D are not on the network even if Win7 shows shop-TV-Plus as a mapped drive on NTFS (but can not find the file D).

    See the resemblance?

    Another thing that exacerbates the problems is poor ventilation of the device. The first thing that happens with this device, it's rubber feet sticky garbage fall.

    While this may seem trivial, the ventilation slots are under the device and will be blocked if he has no feet. I live in a hot country so this appliance gets very hot and behaves even more erratic, unless it is well ventilated.

    Ideally keep well away from other units and preferably sitting it on a small box in itself with the vents in many exposed.

    I always also have problems to read files FLAC, MKV. The unit sometimes lost synch with files FLAC which generally play OK and crashes or causes a large noise or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).

    Some just MKV files play quite although VLC reads. There are many other inconsistencies, but these are more boring.

    Everyone knows these problems or someone at - it other solutions for these problems?

    I don't think we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? Your dreams, pal.

    I m not Stor.E + owner and can not say much about the issues mentioned, but the first sounds of mentioned problem (error no. Loader") for me much more like a hardware problem as a software related issue.

    Files mkv seems to be supported.
    The mkv must be encoded in H.264 and MPEG-4 format
    This is what I found on a Web page.

    It s not that easy to tell what the reason is for this...

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, who has a problem with the computer screen to turn off image poor qulity (looks like interference) when you use the function key and activate a second monitor, but the image on the 2nd monitor is fine. I also discovered that the second monitor doesn't have to be physically connected to the main display having the problem, as soon as you activate the second screen the problem starts. However, as soon as you disable the second monitor, the computer screen looks perfect.

    I updated the BIOS of these two and the graphics driver, but the problem still persists.
    Any ideas?

  • When you use disk cleanup, drive D C and recovery should be included?

    When you use disk cleanup should you clean disk (C) operating system, and the recovery disc D. Then on drive c must only choose th files that are already enabled as the downloaded programs files and temp. Internet files or you need to clean more options?

    Do NOT run the cleaning or do anything at all on the recovery D: drive.   Do not add files, defragment, compress, chkdsk, or something else.  Let completely alone.

    Insofar as what to remove NSB C:\ drive, this decision is entirely yours.  You can add or remove options as you seem, and that you feel able to make - do as much as you can in these settings.  More your cleaning, the more you'll be available and, in some cases, it can even run your computer to start, and stop faster.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • DB restoration and recovery when you use followed the change block

    Does anyone know of a document that explains the restoration of the database and recovery when you use the block and the incremental backups the track changes? I understand how to turn the OTC market, and how it can shorten the time to do an incremental backup. I need advice when choosing the frequency of backups of 1-0 and level level and how it affects my food options. I also need to decide if the level 1 backups update the copy of most recent data on the disk file.

    If the copy of the data on disk file is updated by each level 01:00 am I right to say that I can restore to point in time that this moment occurs after level 1 has been taken? If so, then maybe I don't have level 1 update the copy of the data file on disk. If I take a level 0 Sunday and daily level 1 Monday - Saturday, so I think I can restore to any point in time after the 0 level.

    A lot of documentation explains my backup options, but there is less material tell how my backup choice affects my food options.


    Thank you
    Bill

    BCT applies to backups only, there is no connection with the restoration.
    I think you are confused about the difference between

    (1) incremental of backups
    and
    (2) "normal incremental backups".

    In the first case (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#CHDEHBFF), in the base implementation because an incremental backup is applied to a still image copies and you cannot go back to an earlier point in time – before the changes applied.

    'Normal' incremental backups are done after a full backup (level 0), you can return to the level 0 backup earlier.
    RMAN follows rules of detention, in the basic version of an incremental backup that is updated, you have a retention of redundancy policy 1. This means that a full backup (image of copies, which are updated by the incremental backups again and again) is available.
    Backup incremental 'Normal' in most cases after a few days recovery windows - a time window.
