Re: Satellite L300D - HARD drive with unknown password recovery?

I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D of second hand to a colleague and went on to restore its framework Moose per HARD drive recovery according to the guide of Toshiba
Link: [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm]

I get to part 3 and find a current user name, to which the previous owner has no knowledge of, or a password in order to continue the process. Does this mean that the previous owner has locked the recovery process or there at - it a way to recover the system without the password?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey,.

Theoretically, you could ask the colleague to the password ;)
HARD drive recovery is possible if you know the password, otherwise everyone could perform HARD drive recovery and would not be without danger.

Alternative, you can use the Toshiba recovery disc. It will be the same as the drive HARD recovery, factory settings will be restored too.

  • Recovery on satellite Pro C660 - 2KM with new HARD drive with the restored recovery partition

    Hey people,
    I had a problem with a virus on this sat pro, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive to get rid of this virus. Before I did, I saved everything partiton D including the recovery path and after clearing course, I copied everything returns to a place (second partition).
    Now, try to recover and do not know how to do it. F11, F10 and F8 seems to not work. Do I need the recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery on the new partition D: path?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Stefan

    Unfortunately, recovery doesn't work on this path.
    What you need now is the recovery disk.
    In general the recovery image on the second partition is useless and you will not be able to start.

  • Question about password on the new Satellite A105 HARD drive

    I am the owner of a Satellite A105 and the hard drive was failing. I got a new hard drive but before I gave up on the current one I decided to wipe it clean and a few tools to see if it was a way to recover.

    Well, when wiping clean it restarts and then he showed me a message saying "password type of HARD drive internal" or something similar. I do not know the password so I can't use the hard disk more (or is there a way to reset the password?), but before you install the new hard drive I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password.

    I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive? The one I have is brand new, and I want to know if I plug it in and from the laptop are all I have to do?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t usually know this password then the HARD drive is locked and can no longer be used.
    It s simply not accessible and it s not possible to remove this password.

    > I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password. I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive?
    I think that he should t be any problem with a new HARD drive.
    As I said the password is stored in the sector specials on the HARD drive. The old password should not exist on the new HARD drive (if the password has not been set).

  • Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

    And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

    Hello!

    Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

    I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

    A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

    Good bye

  • Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

    A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you
    Stone

    Hello!

    Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

    250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite A200 - hard drive not recognized

    Hello. Deploy a satellite A200.

    Original problem would not initialize only power light and hard drive light came on a second, nothing on the screen, not access to the parameters of F2. Reinstall memory, no go, deleted the test and drive hard and read disc hard ok in an external enclosure. With disk hard deleted computer will start after market boot disk and running program diagnosis ok. Can now access the settings of F2.

    Format external hard drive, reinstall and start with the startup disk, hard disk appears in the bios, the test runs diagnostic ok.
    Tried to install Windows XP and XP pro and windows twice starts to install and then comes up with an error saying there is no hard drive present, even if the Bios and a diagnostic boot disk at the same time recognize the hard drive.
    Tried another hard drive with the same problem, not recognized.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally with this record everything should work fine because it s pre-tested and specifically designed for your laptop.
    Check this box!

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive is faulty and you need a new. The HARD drive seems to have random failures.

  • Satellite L300 - hard drive upgrade

    Hey guys,.

    I had a quick search, but I'm sorry if this has already been asked and answered successfully... But anyway.

    My girlfriend has easily filled its 120 GB hard drive and wants to expand. I see that it can be improved in two other sizes (including the 360 GB), but which is the maximum? I am able to get a hard drive say 500 GB/1 TB in size?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Satellite L300 supports SATA HDDs and this means that there is no capacity limit. So, you can also install disk 500 GB or 1 TB, which should be no problem.

    Interface SATA has no capacity limits older IDE interface so Don t worry about the size. Just buy a model that you think that it s ok. It is only important that it s 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface.

  • Satellite 1710CDS - HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    I have a question about the portable satellite 1710CDS.
    A week ago my hard drive of the laptop above broke down.
    Fdisk and partition magic are not able to detect the HARD drive.
    My first question is where is the HARD drive located?
    It is under the keyboard, as you can see by some other Toshiba laptops?
    And is there anyone who knows what capacity hard drive to this cell phone is supported?

    I hope someone knows the answer to my questions?

    Jeroen cordially

    Hello Jeroen

    To swap the drive HARD on this laptop is not easy. Sounds stupid, but the unit must be dismantled completely. You need to remove the keyboard and on the left side, there is cable that connects the HARD drive with main card. To remove the HARD drive the upper eyelid must be separated from the bottom. It is not a simple procedure, and if you do it yourself, you should be very careful.

    As far as I know this device supports up to 10 GB HARD disk.

    Good bye

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

    Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

    FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

  • Lost all the files of muisc - Itunes library intact but lost hard drive with music files

    Hello

    I'm on windows 10 and the latest version of Itunes. I had a separate hard drive with all my music, which represents 95% of the CD, even some captured directly from vinyl. (iknow all conferences on the backup to the top and sent hard drives for repair, but not luck)

    So my Itunes library is intact, as it was stored on the drive to the OS, but every track has an exclamation point. I tried to use Itunes game and music in an attempt to restore my library, but I suspect I'm going to build it from scratch again, re - burn all my CDs

    Any ideas?

    See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device. If you subscribe to iTunes Match your should be able to create a new library and download content to it. The old one will assume that the tracks are present, even if they cannot be found. You must avoid doing anything which could remove the reference to the track in iTunes game, that's why I suggest to do a new library.

    See also make a portable split library and backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library.

  • How can I migrate my Mozilla folder on a hard drive with it works?

    Hi, I used to love Mozilla Firefox but I stopped using it for a year, it is incredibly slow, you can't do anything! I don't know what to do. My hard drive has plenty of space, but I can not understand how to put my Mozilla folder in my hard drive with it noticing, help? I really can't manage google chrome more.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    You can also try a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • 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.
