SATA HDD mode & performance on Satellite P100-222

Hello everyone!

I found that my HARD drive in instead of ATA7 UDMA5 mode supported. It looks like SATA ACHI is disabled in the BIOS, and I find no way to turn it on. It is clear that even faster UDMA5 then the drive HARD, but what about NCQ & other SATA command supported?
In any case, the HD tune results http://www.hdtune.com is less than that specified for this HARD drive & interface:

HD Tune: TOSHIBA MK1234GSX Benchmark

Minimum transfer rate: 7.7 MB/s
Transfer rate maximum: 34.4 MB/s
Average transfer rate: 28.6 MB/sec
Access time: 17,0 ms
Gust speed: 64.2 MB/sec
CPU usage: 9.1%

Now the slowest part of my system & waiting to start to the top or level of loading takes a long time.
Is someone have any suggestions to increase the performance of the HARD drive?

Hello

In my view the problem is not just HARD disk performance you need to optimize your operating system. How long takes the boot process depends on the application from Windows OS list. You can check it out if you go to start > run and enter MSCONFIG here.

When the system configuration utility is started Startup tab check and remove the check mark in front of elements, you need not. Also, check the startup folder and delete all the shortcuts, you don't need. On this way, the boot process should be faster.

If you need more performance for games I recommend you to upgrade RAM. You will see that the unit runs a lot faster and you can use several applications at the same time.

    > when will appear in the new display driver?

    Who knows I didn t find any info on the Toshiba page.
    But as far as I know the many laptop models are equipped with the same graphics chip.
    Therefore, you can also try a driver for another model that was equipped with the same GPU chip.

  • Satellite P100-222: BIOS password has been set - why?

    I have Toshiba Satellite P100-222 and my problem is the BIOS access. A few days ago, I bought nootbook and if I want to go BIOS F2, I have to write a password to enter. My question is do you know where I can find this password? Perhaps this password is default for all nootbooks models? If so, I'll be gratfull to give myself to him or delete.

    I'll be waiting to meet you.

    Hi Pawel,

    There is no password to the BIOS when you first buy the default on a Toshiba laptop. They are defined by the user through the installation and configuration (and even then they are optional).

    If you bought your laptop to a Toshiba dealer, it is possible that the dealer has put the password in this case, you will need to ask them what it is. If you bought your laptop private (of someone else) then the same thing applies, you should ask them what your password.

    In any case, if you do not or can not get the password then you need to take the laptop to an authorized service partner for them to reset the CMOS chip and reload the BIOS.

    Kind regards

  • Impossible to Intel 3945 ABG mini Intel 4965 AGN adapter PCIe on Satellite P100-222.

    I bought the new Intel PRO wireless 4965 AGN mini PCIe card, but then I try to replace the original block my Satellite P100-222 starts simply, power LED TURNS on, power led flash HARD drive twice & nothing happens, BIOS screen is not displayed.
    I have updated the BIOS to the latest version 3.80, remove the supervisor and user passwords, reset the BIOS to factory default, replace new card to another in the store, but the computer still does not start with the new wireless card installed. Same time he started nice with the old card or any card in this mini PCIe slot.
    I know the other manufacturer have BIOS block for not original of the card, but in this case, the error message appears on the screen during POST. In my case I don't get any sound or display messages. I can't find any info on lock BIOS in Toshiba laptops.

    Any ideas how I can get to work my new wireless card?

    Thank in advance for the help.

    Hello Grog

    I presume you bought it without any verification of compatibility. Am I wrong? AFAIK this card WLAN (AGN) has 3 antenna connectors and your laptop to two. On processors Intel page I didn t find any info on compatibility, but I imagine that this WLAN card will be delivered with newer chipset and it is not easy to say if you can use it on your hardware platform.

    All block BIOS I can't tell you everything but after 8 years of use of laptop Toshiba I can say that something like this is not known to me.

    You can try to contact your local dealer or partner authorized in your country. They are also specialized for the hardware upgrade. They may be able to say more on the compatibility with the WLAN card you.

  • Graphics performance on Satellite P100-191

    I bought the laptop Satellite P100-191 yesterday, but I experienced a few problems of extreme performance from the beginning. I just reinstalled the standard display driver (Forceware 84.00 Toshiba) and changed some settings of Windows (uninstalled programs, services, etc.).

    After the execution of Mark 3D! 2003! I get the result of some 6,000 Marks 3D, which is half of what this laptop should perform normally. I have the feeling that there might be a problem with the heat, because the bottom of the laptop gets VERY hot and continuous performance decrease over the system is running (up to less than 1 FPS). But since I don't have much experience with laptops, I can't tell if it's the right conclusion, or if there is just a 'bad' setting in the BIOS or somewhere.

    So, I hope that someone of you can help me so that I can soon enjoy work and play correctly with the P100-191.

    THX

    There must be something wrong with your book, I 3dmarks03 13,600 with 191. Please check your settings und graka your energy settings, put it on the desktop. Mayby you have worked with battery?

  • Satellite P100-222: BIOS has been implemented - how to remove?

    Hello
    My brother you guys here asking for a help with a BIOS for Toshiba P100-222. (Pawel KillerPL)
    Is possible that after when I'll update of the Bios, the password will disappear?
    At the moment, I can't help cos I n t have laptop with me.
    I m sure that when I received the box with laptop was originally pack, and I put t 100% think that a certain shop touched the computer and the configuration password.

    Is it possible that someone in the factory could do something? Or the bios is failure

    See you soon
    Darek

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don't believe that a person of the factory has set the BIOS password.
    In addition the BIOS update will NOT delete the BISO password!

    Please Note: before you start the update of the BIOS to remove all passwords!
    Please first read the document about how to update the BIOS before you start the upgrade.
    The incorrect procedure may damage the motherboard!

    In addition if you n t the BIOS password you will need to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. There is no other possibility to remove the BIOS password.

    If a module (2 GB) installed - it's ok.
    If two modules (2 gb + 512 mb) installed, total RAM 2.5 - it's ok
    But if two modules (2 gb + 2 gb) it does not work :(
    When I turn on my laptop the lights come on as usual and I can enter the BIOS but after installation of the screen nothing cam upward on.

    These things happen usually when you try to use memory modules live not compatible.
    I checked the page of Kingston and Toshiba and modules of 2 GB compatible for your laptop modes are:

  • Satellite M100-222: HDD temperature is approximately 50-53 degrees Celsius. Is this normal?

    Hello world!

    My Satellite M100-222 is warm enough after an hour of work. I decided to see the temperature of the CPU, graphics card and HARD drive and I noticed that the HDD temperatura is around 50-53 degrees Celsius. Is this normal? What is the temperature of the HARD disk on your laptop? Because on my desktop HDD temperature is 37 degrees.

    The CPU temperature is 47-50 degrees Celsius.

    Hi Stanislav

    Don t worry, everything is ok! The 50-53 degrees is not unusual.
    The temperature can increase to a higher level. I think that about 70-80 degrees, if the laptop is fully loaded and running with maximum performance.

    The temperature on the desktop PC is much lower because of the space inside your box.
    The cooling fans are bigger and run much faster than laptop cooling modules so that you should not compare laptop & desktop PC.

    However, as I said above, everything is ok. If the temperature reaches a critical level then the laptop turns off automatically.
    It is a thermal protection which is supported by computers laptop Toshiba!

  • Satellite P100-257 does not work with the new drive HARD WD SATA II 320 GB

    Please could someone knows how to solve my problem.
    I bought new HARD drive to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite P100-257:
    Western Digital SATA II WD3200AAKS 320 16 MB
    (Originally was installed Toshiba MK6034GSX 60 GB HARD drive)
    When installing Windows XP (from Toshiba disk recovery or all other disks), when the Installer starts copying the files to the temporary directory HDD (after HDD format) encounter a problem like "cannot write files to the HARD drive.
    I tried to format the drive before installation (even to split to 2 smaller logical drives).
    Also I have updated the BIOS at 2009-03-04.
    But nothing changes.
    What is the problem?

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive has been recognized because you can receive the error message about the Master Boot Record.

    I think that there is something wrong with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    I put t know how you formatted the HARD drive, but I think that you must first reinstall the operating system on a partition in order to check the functionality of the HARD drive.

    Once you have started using the Windows XP disk, try to create more than one partition and this format to NTFS. Then follow the installation of the OS!

  • Satellite P100 will not stay in hibernation mode

    Hi everyone ~.

    Satellite P100
    Vista

    Before going to bed, in that I always put my computer in hibernation. He won't stay in hibernation mode. I don't know fashion 'sleep' here.
    I click on the Start button and then choose put into hibernation. It goes into hibernation and I go to bed, so I don't know when it will come out of hibernation.

    I used to have to press the power button, get up and running after his hibernation. Along the front of the computer are 5 blue lights. I'll call them a, b, c, d and e.

    d & e are usually off when I use the computer.

    a, b, and c are on when I'm on the computer. When it goes into hibernation mode b turns off.

    When I get up in the morning a, b and c are all back on and everything that I have to do is move my mouse around then newspaper instead of the first press of the power button.
    I have a few scheduled tasks, but I've always had people.

    Help, please. Is there a setting that I can do to take care of this problem? TIA

    Hello

    Have you noticed the same thing with the mode sleep too?

    Anyway, check it please Windows Update option and disable it. Click the settings (left) and make sure that the first option install updated is automatically disabled. Maybe your laptop starts each day at a time and try to do the update of audit.

    Test it!

  • Satellite P100-188: recovery CD will install the SATA drivers on a blank HARD drive

    I was wondering if someone could tell me if my recovery disk would be automatically installs the drivers for SATA HDD on my P100-188, in the case of a hard drive failure total without needing a floppy drive.

    I've never had to use my recovery disc (touch wood), but I have the impression that it works in conjunction with a hidden partition on the hard drive in order to reinstall the operating system if and when necessary, I am not mistaken? If I'm so what happens if the hard drive is destroyed and a new disk? A

    s Windows is not integrated SATA drivers I've read on the Internet that would stop dead in its tracks installation if you do not have a diskette at hand drive.

    Someone had to deal with this problem?

    Hello

    Yes, the restore CD installs everything you need in a single step.

    The point is that the Toshiba Recovery CD is not the same as an original CD of MS Windows. The restore CD contains an image. It s a Pack that included OS Win, Toshiba drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

    So, using the CD recovery will install all the applications mentioned, as well as the SATA drivers ;)

  • Satellite A100-237 / PSAA9 - how to enable AHCI (SATA Native mode)?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A100 - 237 (PSAA9) and I would like to activate the AHCI (SATA Native mode). But in the BIOS there is no settings as AHCI or SATA mode.

    Is it possible to enable it in any other way (hidden fixing, utility sw)? Or only new special BIOS for this update (I have the latest 5.90) can solve this problem?

    Thank you for the answers.

    No response for the last 5 days. Of course, there is no special hidden parameter or BIOS. ;)

    As far as I know that there is no hidden settings and also no special BIOS. If something like that exists perhaps for technicians and non-public use.
