• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

  I have a P30 (part number PSP30E-1z8008EN) and the need to replace the hard drive, can someone please advise the exact specifications I need to swap between IDE ATA-5?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Satellite P30 was delivered with different HARD drive sizes.
  I know that the P30-102 has been delivered with the HARD disk that supports the interface IDE (ATA-6) increased to 100 GB!

  So I advise to use the similar with the same kind of interface.

• Satellite A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
  HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

  1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

  2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
  This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
  As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
  Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

  But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

  > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
  You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• Upgrade the HARD drive, memory and display on Satellite A30 921 driver

  I got a model a30-921, satellite phone for two years now. I would ask someone who could help me how to put my hard drive from 40 to the majority and the memory to 1 g. and also where can I find the latest driver for ati mobility radeon igp 9000.

  Thank you and looking forward to here from you soon.

  Hi Remelito,

  I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and I suspect it would probably work with a 100 GB drive. However, as portable hard drives tend to suffer ruptures busiest I think their close office 80 GB is perfectly o.k. for me. I tend to have 25-30 GB used with the rest of the temporary files during editing of the videos etc. The hard drive in the A30 is usually under the optical drive to remove all first in order to access the hard drive.

  Your A30 can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB of RAM in two slots. Currently, you will have 2 X 128 MB or 2 X 256 MB modules of RAM installed. You can get the modules of memory in the sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB. the following URL provides information on reference numbers (the United Kingdom site), but you can Google for a suitable provider.

  Toshiba unfortunately do not provide regular updates to their display drivers (at least in my experience). Like you, I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP in my SA30 and I resorted to a driver Omega catalyst in order to play newer games. I ran this Omega driver for many months now with still no Bul. You can obtain this driver from: -.

• Question about hard drive partitions - Satellite L450

  I just got a new Satellite L450 with a 250 GB hard drive. I moved my media on it and quickly received a warning from the Toshiba Bulletin board that my hard drive was achieved at full capacity. When I look at 'My computer', it shows 2 hard drives, WINDOWS (C :) and DATA(D:).) I guess it's one thing to install because there is only one hard drive.

  C and D drives are around 120 GB but WINDOWS is 75% sold out. How to use drive D and avoid the warning on the capacity of the drive?
  Can I change the capactiy for C and D allowances?

  In my opinion, you should simply ignore this message. In Windows Explorer, you can clearly see how much free space is available on each partition. So I think t for the partitions and data administration you n t need to monitoring applications.

  This partitions C and D is the standard setting for the new Toshiba laptops.
  In disk management you can change the ability of the partitions but I n t think this is the best solution for you because the two partitions are filled with data.

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Question about hard drive Partitions

  My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

  How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
  This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

  I would like some advice before as I did try.

  >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
  That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

  This recovery is important for two things:
  -for the creation of recovery DVDs
  -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

  Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

  You have to understand how it works?
  If you have any other questions please let me know.

• questions about the virtual memory and CPU allocation

  Hi, I have 2 questions that I hope will be answered in this forum.

  First of all, I have a computer for video editing with 4 hard drives in raid0 2... also a separate hard drive to the system and programs.

  16 GB of ram

  My question relates to the allocation of virtual memory... I currently set at min - max, same... 1200 MB on each raid0 array and nothing on the c drive.

  Is it safe and effective, or should I create another set up?

  also

  I have processor together for optimal performance for planning programs. I was wondering if the background services must wager together instead of programs.

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Sounds good to me. Distributed pagefile doesn't make much difference in a single dedicated pagefile and programs should take precedence over substantive services.

• Re: Question about HARD drive partitions

  My uncle bought me a laptop Satellite A100 European 5 months ago and I don t have the card with me. Then all of a sudden, my operating system has been corrupted and I had to format my hard drive. I used the recovery CD I received with the laptop. The box contains 3 CD. I followed the instructions.

  I had to use two of the CD and now I only have one big disk.
  Is it possible for me to make the hard disk partition after formatting?
  Help, please!

  The description provided by sanremo only works with Vista.
  If you have a XP OS you will need a 3rd party application like Partition Magic 8, for example.
  I use this PM8 and I m very happy. This great software to create, manage and edit the partitions on the HARD disk.

• Satellite 2410: Question on HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  The hard drive on my laptop Satellite 2410 died a few days ago. Replace it with another, one Seagate.

  I don't have my CD of restoration, however, I have the retail CD of Windows XP. Would it not possible to install Windows XP from a CD at retail? Or do I NEED to have the restore CD that came with the laptop.

  If I indeed restore it CDs, where can I get replacement CD since then?

  Thank you.

  Hello Rizwan

  If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery Cd, you can use the original Windows operating system.
  In addition, you need Toshiba drivers and tools. What you can find on the Toshiba site.
  You need to download the drivers and install them after installing Windows.

  Here you can download the drivers:

• Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

  Hello.

  I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

  Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. After doing this, you can do with disk partitions you want.
  One day, if you want to reinstall Vista and have the factory settings, you can use this created DVD facilities.

  Please note: before installation of Vista drive HARD whole lance and ancient structure of the partitions is deleted. Data back up are required.

  I just built a Pr/AE Setup for my cousin and the only thing left set up now is hard drives. I'm no expert in this so I came to ask someone more wise.

  So that's what I have:

  1. 1 x 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD for the os/programs

  2. 4 x 2 TB Seagate hard drives in a RAID5 configuration

  3. 1 x 60 GB Kingston SSD

  I would be very grateful for any suggestion.

  You got it about now!

  Your cousin will need to learn about the location of the file to the Bank and how to clean records scratch etc to use Agency.

  About the 60 GB SSD, Yes to keep some of the files on it, but not to captured video / audio.

  Netither Scratch files or cached files are not deleted when closing first.
