Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

Hello

> My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
What's the problem?

  • Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

    One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

    Best regards, Marian

    I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

    No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

    To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

    Reach
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
    and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

    Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
    After reading the manual you will be something like:

    1. program start, do something, restart the machine
    2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
    3. install the new driver
    3. reading of Bioshock
    4...
    5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

    So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

    Hello

    As Akuma already written, you can choose a CPU of the other models. Look on the lower side to identify your model number.

    But don t forget that the CPU upgrade is risky. No one has tested this before CPU in your laptop and my cause overheating or something else. This upgrade is official not supported: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • Satellite A100-003: Question about RAM and recording model number

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    1. the first problem is that I bought the notebook of Toshiba Satellite A100-003 model. But when I tried to save the European web site of Toshiba with my serial number it says Satellite A100-011. I do not understand what it means that. But I do not know my phone model A100-003-PSAARE-0470257Z. The serial number of my laptop is: 17739127G

    2. Another problem is the European website of Toshiba and Turkey Toshiba official site (http://www.toshibatr.com/notebook_filter.asp?ktg=A100) says Rams are 533 MHz "2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)"but mine is at 266 MHz. "

    http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=satellitea100003xg4.jpg

    I was wondering in Toshiba laptops of the Turkey has problems or handed in state something? I sent e-mail to the web site of Toshiba Turkey but they don't send me emails or information.

    Thank you for helping me,
    Halin

    Hello

    First of all your registration number is not a 'problem '. Maybe it s just a small mistake in their database. When I registered my P200 registration reported me another type as mine was, but after a call to the hotline of toshiba told me, that my machine is listed correctly in the database.
    Don t worry, register just she.

    With regard to the RAM:

    Do you know why's called it 'DDR' ram? That means 'RAM memory' and the goal is to double the frontsidebus.

    In your case, that means: the REAL AND PHYSICAL frontsidebus is 266 Mhz, but because the flow is double you have a 533 MHz frontsidebus (532, 34.Mhz).
    CPU - Z and WCPUID are simply display the physical clock of the RAM, but the frontsidebus double the signal and then you pure and authentic to 533 MHZ.

    I hope I could explain something to you. ;)

  • 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.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

    My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

    So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

    I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

    Hey,.

    Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

    So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

  • Satellite A100-334: Question about upgrading from XP to Vista

    I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
    I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

    After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

    Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

    Here are some examples:
    Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

    It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
    What can I do?

    I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

    Hi Detlef

    Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

    I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

    The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

    In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

    Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

  • Satellite A100-225: Question about upgrade up to 4 GB of RAM

    I'm confused. Very confused.

    I myself have an A100-225 and browse the documentation, I noticed that even if it comes with 1 GB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM, the maximum memory (RAM?) system upgrade it will take is cited as an impressive 4 Gb 'Cool' think me "I wonder where this is going?".

    Now, I had computers laptops apart before--and rebuilt a little - and I have never seen one with more than 2 RAM slots. So knowing that the greatest single chip RAM you can buy for a laptop (commercially) is 1 GB, I think that there must be four locations. Open the back... No, just the usual two.

    So any ideas what I'm missing here? I've had a scout around the site of Tosh and watching it - http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=116145 -.

    I see the same boot - 4 GB maximum of extension. Exactly how do you what to do next? Or am I confused with something else?

    Help. And thank you all.

    Neil

    Hi guys

    Of course, memory 2 GB modules are available right now and not in the future.
    You have to search only in the net for memory 2 GB PC2 - 4200 DDR2 - 533 SODIMM.
    To my knowledge this unit supports the PC2-4200 DDR2-533 SODIMM these modules and modules are available for example on the Kingston site.

  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • Question of function on a Satellite A100-049 keys

    Hello, I am new on this forum please bear with me if I am wrong.

    I just bought a Satellite A100-049 and supported by mistake on the F10 key. Turns the LED under the key and I discovered to my horror that I couldn't type some letters and, worse still, I could not disable the F10, that is! I finally had to restart.

    I can see doing what F1 to F9 from the dropdown at the top of the screen, but I can't work out what should I F10, F11 and F12 and I'm in constant fear of press them! The manual and the web site of Toshiba do not seem to offer any help, even if it is probably because I don't know where to look.

    Can anyone of you kind experts out there find out?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Maybe, I know how to solve your problem. Try to press "Fn + F10" (hold Fn and press F10 at the same time).
    Then your keyboard should work properly again.
    Maybe you press a combination of keys (for example "Fn + F10"), then the alternative keyboard on your keyboard has been activated.

    Please give some feedback if my clue helped you.

  • Satellite A100-049: CDs and DVDs do not read after standby

    I have a new satellite A100-049 delivered with vista home premium pre-installed. After returning to the computer from sleep/wake (whatever mode is when the yellow light pulses) without discs can be read in the drive. The disc rotates constantly, but nothing will happen.

    Everything works well when the computer is turned on at the first time, but after the sleep he stopped playing discs. Is that what I can do about it?

    Hello

    What happens if you remove the media CD or DVD of the training after the laptop back to sleep/wake?

    I mean that you should remove the Middle, close the CD tray, then open the drive, insert the CD/DVD and check if the laptop recognizes the middle.

  • Satellite A100-049, do not load, totally dead

    Purchased: April 2007
    Model: Satellite A100-049 (PSAARE-03G00JEN)
    Operating system: supplied with Windows Vista 32-bit, now under Windows 7 64-bit

    In recent weeks, my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 began to charge not. He went from 100%, 80%, 50%, 30%, 10%. Basically all over the place but I have no worry because I never unplug it anyway, and if I let her she eventually settle and start loading. It worked this way for about 2-3 weeks.

    * He then from the changing of the guard that I discovered despite the orange charging light is on and Windows, he is in charge, it is actually not statement. This means in turn Windows is not hibernate (depending on configuration) when it reaches 3% of battery. Therefore, it goes down to 0% and turns off.

    When he is in this State, it's a real pain so he could start charging again. I left all night and sometimes the charging light lights up, other times it doesn't.

    * I thought it might be the battery so I bought a new *, this fixed for about a week before the same exact problems occurred.

    * Since that it has gotten worse and now does not load period.*, I now have two dead batteries with 0% fee, as well as a dead laptop. Once again I left during the night, nothing, that it refuses to load.

    I searched this forum and tried to turn on without the battery in, it lights. He's dead.

    * Is the main/mother card or would be - this something else? *

    If the Commission of the main mother card, how much a replacement motherboard would cost more work? I live in the United Kingdom, how to fix here? If this is not the case, in U.S. dollars will be fine.

    I really hope I can make it last a few months because A: I can't afford a new laptop and b: I prefer to buy a new laptop when Windows 8 came out, I intend to get anyway. Especially since I already have a valid license of Windows 7 retail.

    Thank you. Any help would be appreciated.

    > I have searched this forum and tried to turn on without the battery in, it lights. He's dead.

    That s not good dude even if the battery is not connected, the laptop must turn on with AC adapter plugged
    What you can do is this short workaround just for testing purposes.
    -The battery should be removed in addition to disconnect the adapter
    -Leave the laptop disconnected for a longer period of time (a long night). then press the power button / stop along 30 sec.
    -Now connect the AC adapter and check if the laptop would be powered.

    If this is not possible, then the motherboard could be affected in such cases is not worth buying a new motherboard since its really, really expensive part.
    New motherboard + fix would cost about 300-350
    In my opinion it's better to sell this unit and buy a new laptop.
