• Satellite M70 - after HARD drive partitioned, the OS does not start

  Hello

  Good then this is a real doozy, and I hope that someone will help.

  I started to fix my satellite m70 girlfriends using the disc of recovery etc, everything went fantastic, the HARD disk has been erased and Windows + all software has been reinstalled.

  Then I thought it would be a good idea to use partition magic to partition the hard drive, so I chose the main hard drive and cut 10GB of it to put in place a new partition.

  I rebooted, and then after Windows restarted again completed.

  NOW, it does not charge, it says no operating system, so I tried to start with the recovery disk and all over again...

  If I click on continue (to start the recovery process), however it is said now that the "Error #1828", free space is too small.

  I'm really angry that this has happened and I just want to start over again.

  Can someone help me with this?
  I can't access the Bios either (not sure if that might help), because I don't know the password (must be a fault im not aware of).

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  I think that this is the reason why you used a tool to change the size of the partition. At best, this should be done before you install Windows and 10 GB is a little too small for Windows. You must use at least 15-20 GB for the first partition where the BONE is placed.

  To resolve this problem, you must delete all existing partitions before using the recovery disk. Therefore, you can use a Windows XP disk or something else. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. Then the recovery disk should work.

• Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
  Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

  But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
  I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

  I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

  Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Have you thought about external HARD drive failure?
  Perhaps failure of HARD drive and, therefore, it cannot be recognized correctly.

• Satellite M70 cannot stop

  I bought my Satellite M70 in February 2007. It had been nice up to a weeks ago. I can't stop normally again.
  He can't even switch to standby or Hibernate mode. It crashes with blue screen. The cursor moves on the screen but nothing else does not work once the blue screen appears.

  The only option that remains for me is to press the power button to turn off. It works normally if started again, but will not stop. I have a lot of data on it, so I don't want to use the recovery CD. Pls how to fix SAT without reformatting. Thank you

  Hello Bob

  None of us can say for sure why this happens, and you can't wait for a magic solution. What we do here, it's just to speculate why this happen. In my opinion, a background program block system and used to stop. Who knows what applications you have installed in the past few months, but I'm sure one of them is responsible for this.

  If possible, save all your data to external HARD disk or a second partition. Use the installation in expert mode and install the recovery image on the partition c. after installation of clean operating system everything works OK again.

  If you don't want to do it try to remove all the latest applications installed and make your system clean. I also recommend you use a registry cleaner application. You can find many of them on the net.

  Good bye

• Satellite M70-192 - question of HARD drive replacement

  Hello...

  It's just my first time to ask for help in this forum... and besides, in any forum on the whole wide net.
  So, sorry if am don't do this right... that's...

  My brother bought a laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70 - 192 psm71e-01k00rar) of the Kuwait around 2006. A few months ago we started hearing "noise noise deaf deaf" - ing sound inside the camera and the screen is just deleted (there was an error message that is encrypted but I wasn't able to note it). I was able to boot from the DVD or USB drive. So I thought that maybe the hard drive has been the only problem.

  I put in a new HARD drive (a 320 GB western digital scorpio wd3200bevt) and started to reinstall the system (I forgot which of the 2 supplied Toshiba cd I inserted first - media cd or the windows xp CD-ROM) but in the middle of installing the keyboard area was so hot that I unplugged / stop the laptop immediately.

  After that, the HARD drive has become invisible to any Linux or rescue CD or utility of HARD drive that I tried to boot from... (fortunately?) The said HDD vendor as the HARD wd scorpio drive + really + defective and they replaced...

  * now the questions: * I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd scorpio *(.55 amp) *. Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?
  Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  How can I _properly_ replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?

  Please note that before I bought the new HARD drive, I ve read somewhere in the "net I could use a disk sata2 on a sata1 controller, etc. + * pls help!" * +

  Toshiba services are simply too expensive for me right now if will send it (cell phone) in a licensed shop. Why I'm in DIY mode that s. I don't think I can afford an another fried Scorpion!

  Thank you!
  yours,
  TAC

  > I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd Scorpion (.55 MPA). Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?

  I don t think that a larger and faster HARD drive might be the reason for the higher internal temperature.
  You said that you have heard and his strange "noise noise deaf deaf." Such sound could be created by the defective cooling module. A defective module could be responsible for the highest internal temperature

  > Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  Here's your second thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=150272
  You can see that the SATA2 is compatible to the bottom and the s SATA2 HARD drive would work with common controller SATA HDD.

  > How can I properly replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?
  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult. I see that you have already found the HARD drive Bay and bought a HARD drive.
  In your case I recommend using the common SATA 2.5 HARD drive with 100 GB maybe 120 GB.

• Satellite M70 - down keyboard when the HARD drive gets hot

  My Satellite M70-181 begins typing "t" series when you reach the working temperature. In my case, if the HARD disk exceeds a temperature of 48-50 ° C (speedfan).
  I replaced the original Travelstar with a new HDD Samsung, but it becomes so hot that precedes it and the blackout keyboard still appears.
  Because the processor is idle most of the time, the fan is too slow. But the fan doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the HARD drive in any case.
  Any ideas anyone? (Sorry for this kind of English...)

  Frank

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem with keyboard only when the temperature is raised to a higher level?

  To be honest, I have never experience this problem and I can't believe that a higher temperature of HARD drive could affect the functionality of keyboard

  However, maybe you should clean the grids and the cooling fans. The notebooks are clogged with dust and don t cooling modules work properly.
  Use a jet of compressed air which should help to remove dust, I think this should help to reduce the internal temperature.

• Satellite M70 loses power randomly

  This Satellite M70 has no battery.
  When plugged into the power supply, the blue power light comes on as expected.
  But after a few minutes, the light blue power turns off and all power is lost.
  This happens even if the computer is not "activated" while it is plugged. Therefore, it is not likely to be overheating.

  Let unplugged, more light will light up when it is plugged.
  If unplugged and reconnected right after the LED turns off, the diode can not ignite at all, or it may come a few seconds.

  I completely disassembled the M70 and there is no dust anywhere inside.
  The problem when the M70 is stripped without RAM card, HARD drives, screen, keyboard and interface. All the pieces, I can reach feel cold when the power loss occurs.

  The PSU is known well, it is 3. 34 and bed 19.5V with a voltmeter.

  So probably something wrong with the power of the motherboard components.
  It is not really worth paying for repairs, so before you throw this M70, what should I try?

  Thank you
  Jen

  Here must be a serious problem with electronic power supply on the motherboard.
  In my opinion there is nothing you can do about it.

  If you want to keep this old piece of hardware check eBay and maybe you can find refurbished mainboard and exchange it. Maybe you can find good work M70 but destroyed or defective display and get it for less money. You can use two mobile phones and do well work a.

  I don t think you should spend a lot of money for it.

• Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

  I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

  Hello

  It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
  If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

• Can satellite M70-337 - I put the HARD drive?

  Hi all,.

  I have a Satellite M70-337, the vehicle currently has 40 GB of hard drive. The laptop has served me well and I want to upgrade the hard drive 100 GB +, anyone has done this?

  If Yes please advise on the type of hard drive required and their availability. I have 2 GB of RAM and want to run Windows 7 on this computer.

  Hey mate,

  Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive why not? :)

  AFAIK Equium M70 already use hard drives with Serial ATA interface. This means that you must buy a 2.5 HARD drive with this interface.
  For example, a 120 GB model should work!

  In my view, it is irrelevant, what type (manufacturing) that you choose. There is no major differences, but I have good experiences with Western Digital.

• Satellite M70-173 - fatal error - new drive HARD and recovery.

  Excuse my lack of knowledge.

  I received a Satellite M70-173.

  to turn on before charging readings - fatal error; I have to save all my data and replace the hard drive.

  I don't know if it's fixable and that's what I have to do. I also said that when you replace a HARD disk I need a recovery disk.

  I reside in Cyprus and don't have is not easy access to the shops of style PC big supermarket.

  I was wondering if I could use a generic HDD and if so is there a particular one that I need to acquire?

  Also

  where would I go to get a recovery disk?

  I got the laptop I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment and it is still in very good condition apart from the above-mentioned problems!

  I wish that all the advice on what type of HARD drive, I would need or is available - rough cost so I don't get ripped off and if we change the disk HARD is as easy as I read. Also where I should go to get a recovery disc and if that's all I need to fix the laptop.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help I can get.

  > The laptop does turn on - is it possible to make a recovery of a damaged laptop disk

  How do you do if you can't turn on the laptop?

  What you could do is to remove the HARD drive, then place it into the drive enclosure HARD 2.5 external, then connect the HARD drive to another computer, to save the data.

  In my opinion this is what you could do

• Satellite M70 - 394 - what HARD drive I can install?

  Do you also know if I can run windows 7?
  and can you tell me if I installed a larger hard drive and a new operating system will be my original toshiba product recovery disk work.
  then where in my drive hard is my factory set windows xp so I can remove and install the new operating system

  Hello

  I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
  If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

  Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

  With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)

• Stop error - Satellite M70

  Hello

  Since the installation of explore 7, an error message occurs always stopping my M70-148. This problem could be solved by updating a driver?

  It has something to do with .NET Framework or something similar?

• Satellite M70-337 random startup failures

  Hello, I hope someone can help with this problem.

  In the past months, my Satellite M70-337 (18 months) began to refuse to start. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When that happens, it will be often blue screen, reboot, and then work fine. The BSOD seems to graphics (ialmrnt5) driver-related, so I'm not too concerned about this.

  Anyway, more specifically, here's what happens:

  I'll turn on the monitor and recharge the battery and the power LED lights up. Then I press the power button and the power led lights up. But the hard drive light does NOT illuminate. The display shows lifeless, and the laptop shows no sign of life other than the three lights. It does not even show the toshiba start screen which normally invites me to press F2 or F12.

  I then turn off the laptop by pressing the power button and hold.

  I checked the event logs, and it seems that the problem coincides with the date and time being reset to January 1, 2005. So, the problem could be related to a dead CMOS battery? The strange thing is, if I leave the phone off for a week and it will restart with no problem. Yet it can begin to misbehave after be off for 6 hours only. If the CMOS battery need replacement, probably after a week without being able to time could be reset?

  And if that's the CMOS battery, why won't the laptop start not at all on a few occasions? I'm confused!

  I checked the memory of errors (with MEMTEST) and it is fine. I reinstalled the memory and changed the locations of memory, he is sitting in (while wearing an anti-static bracelet!). No change.

  Similarly, I checked the hard drive is in place. Yet once again, it was fine. I scanned using CHKDSK/r, and it turned out to be very good.

  Thus, all the advice, please!

  Thank you

  Hello

  I do not know how to start so I will try to explain things step by step.

  Regarding the battery CMOS;
  If the battery is empty, all the parameters of the BIOS as time, data will be set to the default settings.
  But the CMOS battery empty should not has a bad influence on the start-up procedure. Usually, you should get a message to access the BIOS and restore and save the changes. Then the cell phone should start as usual.
  If the CMOS battery is empty, you can reload on the laptop for about 12 to 16 hours on the AC adapter / CC.

  However, in my opinion the start-up problems have nothing to with the CMOS battery

  Regarding the graphics driver ialmrnt5;
  I have goggled a bit and discovered that many people receive a BSOD caused by ialmrnt5.dll
  This file seems to belong to the Intel graphics driver.
  It would be desirable to delete the old driver Intel of the operating system and install version a new driver from the Intel page support.

  But to be honest I don't think that a graphic driver could cause this problem!

  I had a similar problem with my laptop 6 year old. He froze, and then it was not possible to restart the laptop. I thought it was an overheating issue. I cleaned my cooling module and assigned and new thermal grease for cooling modules and CPU, but it did not help.
  I have checked with the Memtest86 memory but found no problem.
  Then I removed ONE of the memory modules that have been installed in the laptop and have tested the BONE for an extended period.

  Since then I have not received any errors or other trouble...
  In my case it was a defective module!

  Best regards

• Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

  All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

  It will be OK for my laptop?

  Hello!

  As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

  The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.
