Satellite 2430-101: external USB 2.0 HARD drive problem

Hello everyone,
I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. Recently I bought external 40 GB hard drive. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it is said that it exceeds the limit of the power, and I need to detach the external hard drive. When I read these last questions, someone suggested to uncheck the power supply to the usb hub options, but he says always the same. They are someone to help me.
Concerning
Sri

Hello

Well, in my opinion, this problem occurs if the USB port can't provide enough power.
In this case, that the USB hub must be connect to external power.

Good bye

  • External USB 3.0 HARD drive does not work on USB 3.0 port

    Hello guys,.

    I have a problem with my external HARD drive and the problem is that it is USB 3.0 feature does not work in my computer.

    The curious thing is that it works very well in the SATA port or a normal USB 2.0 port.

    Y at - it a failure with the HARD drive or is there something wrong with my motherboard (M5A99 fx pro r2.0)?

    Thanks in advance.

    From my point of view of the few is not HARD drive problem because the HARD drive operates in a USB 2.0 port.

    I m wondering if you tried to update the USB 3.0 driver.
    Have you tried this HARD disk in another computer / USB 3.0 ports?
    I think that its worth a check.

    Also, I read on some problems of USB 3.0 controller from different manufacturers.
    Sometimes, it might be possible that some problems of compatibility between different devices may arise.

  • Satellite M30X: Problems with external USB 2.0 HARD drive

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I bought recently a 200 GB external hard drive. It has its own power supply. If I connect with USB 2.0 on my laptop, it happens to disconnect and reconnect leads him. Sometimes it works, so I can put data on the disc. Then again, he diconnects and reconnects repeatedly. I've tried a different USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I plugged the external hard drive to many other computers (Laptop and Tower) and it STILL works! It is that with my cell phone, it disconnects and reconnects all the time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for a half an hour or two and then the action begins again...

    If anyone can help?

  • Windows Vista does not recognize external USB 260 GB HARD drive

    I have a 260 GB Seagate external hard drive, a laptop Toshiba satellite and Windows Vista Basic.

    The same Windows usually choose the hard drive when I plug it, it does not appear in Device Manager and in disk management, the only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all the USB root hub and then restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB root hub and plug my hard drive.

    When windows finally recognizes him, the only way to find the driver must choose c:\ manually and there's the search for the computer.
    Works for the time that I have the computer hard disk, but when I stopped it, next time I use the computer, I'm having exactly the same problem.

    I tried to remove the hard drive safely and then close the computer and by him plugging back in after windows has loaded, I tired it connected from the computer and tried to close the computer with connected.

    None of these work.
    Can someone help me please?

    Strange?  :|
    But what need s say Microsoft Windows so I don't expect 100% without bug OS ;)

    Disconnect the USB HDD and remove all the USB ports and Device Manager USB controllers. After restarting again the OS should reinstall ports. Then you could try to reconnect the HARD drive.

  • Satellite 2450-101 after the 60 GB HARD drive upgrade, made only to see 30 GB

    Hello world

    I'm new to this forum. I own a 2450-101, a little old man, real it´s, but still a very nice PC. Harman-Kardon louspeakers make it very useful for music.

    I would switch the HD, so I installed a new 60 GB (the maximum taken in charge, I said) and used the recovery CD.

    Everything worked perfectly, but it seems that only 30 GB can be seen by Windows. I heard, that I might need to update the BIOS. Mine is version 1.50.

    After a long search through sites Toshiba and the Inetrnet, I can only find updates the BIOS for the new models...

    only reference I've seen is on this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07, but

    Yet once I don't find Bios for my model.
    Please any help would be really appreciated ;)

    Hello

    You are right. This laptop is a bit old, but very nice. It provides performance enough for someone in need of this laptop only for everyday use.

    As for you statement about 60 GB of HARD drive. Well, I m a bit confused.
    How did you check the size of the HARD drive and why you say that it recognize only 30 GB?
    How did you check that? And you are sure that you have installed and 60 GB HARD drive?

    I recommend to check the size in disk management!

    With regard to the BIOS;
    The BIOS for this laptop is on the Toshiba driver page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    There, you have to search in archive Archive Satellite Satellite 24xx Satellite 2450-101.
    As far as I know the BIOS 1.50 is available on the page!

  • External USB 2.0 Hard Drive detected only 10 seconds in the Device Manager

    I am running Windows 7 and trying to plug my hard drive 200 GB from an old computer with XP in my new computer via USB 2.0 to an external case.  The external box is its own source of power and requires no drivers. When I plug it into the USB port, I hear the Bell indicating the window detects an external device and she appears under USB devices in Device Manager, but only for about 10 seconds then disappears.  It never appear in disk management or in the computer as a mass storage device.  I tried to use other cables/USB ports. I tried exchanging the external box for a new thought the first one was defective, but that did not help.

    Hi Stroke77,

    ·         Did you get the computer pre-installed with Windows 7?

  • Satellite M30-604 external usb hdd boot failure

    Hello world

    Hard drive problems seem never to end for me.

    I have a satellite M30-604. Recently my Hitachi HDD crashed. Now, I am trying to boot from an external hard drive via usb, but I can't.

    (a) I use a ViPower 3.5 "(model VP9258T) enclosure external usb 2.0"
    (b) with a Seagate 200 GB hard drive.
    (c) I used the recovery cd to install windows on the seagate
    (d) the bios (v1.4) seems to support the external device to start
    (e) the internal hdd crashed is deleted (it's internal hard drive space is empty)
    (f) the bios sees the drive and recognizes it as a USB

    I think it should work, but when I turn on the computer, after a while, he says: "0201: failure IDE #0"
    and gives me the options to run the program installation or start-up.
    When I choose boot it gives me the window with "boot in safe mode" screen, 'last known good configuration' etc, but nothing of the work options (it restarts and gives the same again).

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    My research on this subject has led me to believe that it is not possible to boot an operating system of attached USB HDD XP. I read several posts on various usenet groups on this issue, and the consensus of opinion is that it is simply not possible.

    Several suppliers of BIOS claim allow a USB HDD to be suitable for start-up purposes but I still have to attend such a machination succeed with XP.

  • How to use on the Satellite 2430-101 S-Video port?

    Hi all!

    I don't know if I'm in the right section... I have a second hand S Satellite 2430-101 and use Microsoft Windows XP. Unfortunately I can't use the s-video output, because I do not know, how should be done. Quite simply, do not attach the s-video cable to the TV worked. What do I need to enable something in Notepad? Thank you in advance

    Hello

    As Nicky said if the unit is pre-installed with recovery CD, you can use the FN + F5 key combination and switch to the external display or TV. Check also display properties > settings > advanced > nView. Control the clone and device settings option. Under device settings, you can find the device selection option.

  • Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

    What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

    Hi turboiwan,

    As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

    For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

  • Toshiba 320 GB USB 2.0 HARD drive freezes computer

    I just bought a Toshiba 320 GB USB 2.0 HARD drive and every time I try to transfer the data of light go red after 20 seconds and the computer crashes. The only way I can sort is by turning it off at the wall. The HARD drive works fine via a USB1.0 port and other devices like printers etc joysticks work fine through my USB 2.0 Pci card, but not my HARD drive, any ideas what this could be?
    Thank you

    Hello

    You can also try to use the USB1.0 port. But if you want to use data transfer high, you can try to use the firewire port. Using Firewire USB2 adapter for example.

  • Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

    I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

    Thanks for help.

    Hannu

    Hello

    I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
    I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
    Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

    Have you used any anties Virus applications?
