Satellite A100-192: after Vista installation HARD disk capacity has decreased

I am a user of Satellite A100-192 with 120 GB hard drive. After I installed Vista Ultimate, I saw this total capacity of my hard drive completely passed to 92, 8 GB instead of 120 GB while it was XP.

What can be the problem? How can I reach the other capabilities of my hard drive?

Hello

Vista needs and used 2 partitions. The second partition is not visible and it s necessary to Vista backup and restore functions.
Maybe you have verified that the size of the first partition (C) and didn't note the size of the second partition.

  • Satellite A100 - 192 Windows Vista USB low speed

    Hello

    I installed vista on A100-192, I configured everything correctly, all the drivers installed, but the USB transfer speed is totally low and when hollow transfring usb I have sound and video form. / CPU usage is 100 percent when data transfer from my camera or compact flash. Same thing with the PCMCIA card.
    On windows xp, it worked great!
    I guess it's something about drivers, because when I connect my hard drive usb hollow it works very well/windows sees it as a hard drive, but when I connect something else, and windows sees it as a removable drive - about low speed starts :/

  • How to use the recovery on the Satellite A100-192 with 2 partitions CD

    I have a satellite a100-192 with 100 GB hard drive.
    When I bought it I used magic norton 8.0 partion to divide the disk into two partitions, c drive (used for files of program and other things; 20 GB) and d ' drive that I use for all my documents, music, videos and similar stuff...

    and now, because of a few bad shots, I made (the software bad... lol) I want to reinstall windows. and honestly, I have no idea how to proceed. what I mean, I don't know what cd to use (I have two CD when I bought the computer), in fact I guess that's the one with ms a note on it, but how to do it safely without losing all my data on the d drive?

    The problem is that I did a lot of relocations on desktop computers when you hava clean facilities and then I know what I'm doing, but I have no experience with bundled windows installations.

    Hello

    Usually, Toshiba laptops are supplied with a Toshiba restore CD.
    On this CD, you will find the image of Toshiba which contains all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

    The question is what CD image you received.
    Some people here in the forum suggested that, since January 2006 the Toshiba Recovery CD supports another recovery procedure. The new recovery CD does not support the ghost but the surface RECO and it s not possible to choose the partition for the installation of the OS.
    In this case the whole HARD disk will be deleted and you will lose all your partitions.

    I have only one old recovery CD and so I can't say if it is possible to choose the right partition. It was possible on the old recovery cd by selecting the expert mode.

    In my view, that should make a backup of you all important files before you begin the recovery procedure.

  • Satellite A100-192: what I lose warranty if I create a partition on the HARD drive

    Hello everyone,

    I want to format my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100-192) and 2 partitions. I've been using EMP cd + recovery CD, it's very simple, but I don't want to install all the programs of Toshiba. I want to install a Windows 'fresh '.

    I read all the messages on Toshiba Express media CD + recovery CD and xxxx on the HARD drive. I'm a bit confused. Many of you said: 'use only EMP recovery cd + CD' or ' do not xxxx 2 or more on your HARD drive - you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    I have another CD with Windows XP Pro OEM. It is best to create partitions, install from that cd and after that to install the drivers from TOOLSCD?

    Of course, I don't want to lose my warranty, please tell me how it is better to do!

    Sincerely yours.
    Daniel

    Hello

    > Many of you said: 'use only EMP CD + recovery CD' or '' do not 2 or more partitions on your HARD drive.
    ' > you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    Someone told you a big story :)

    It turns out; you do not lose the warranty after you create partitions on your HARD drive!
    Only if you open the laptop and will try to fix something by yourself, you will lose your warranty.

    Of course, you can use your fresh and original Windows operating system. After the installation of the operating system, you can install the drivers from the CD tools Toshiba or you're going to download it from the page of Toshiba.

  • Satellite A100-192: blue screen during the installation of Adobe Premiere

    Hi, I need some help ASP...
    I bought a satellite A100-192 intel duo 2500 T with 100 GB hard drive and 1024 MB 533 memorry also has a vga ATI 1600 hyoer 512 MB memory,

    Can this program somehow in this laptop? any help is welcome...
    Thank you...

    Hi Theodor,

    I suggest that you try to reinstall your copy of Adobe Premiere, and if you still get the blue screen when trying to take note of the error message, since this will give you some clues as to the nature of the problem.

    If the blue screen appears too fast and forces the phone to reboot then just right click on the 'My computer' icon and select 'Properties', then click on the "Advanced" tab and in the "Startup & recovery" section click the "Settings" button In the next under the title of "System failure" screen make sure that the option restart automatically is not checked.

    Help, please. WHICH IS: ACPI\TOS1901 * TOS1901

    Hello

    ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
    ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
    For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

    Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
    It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  • Punkbuster Satellite A100-192 - Call of Duty 4 - questions

    I bought call of duty 4 for play online and I m unable to play due to problems with the punkbuster client.
    PunkBuster installs with the game itself, but the service does not start.
    He thought maybe something to do with the game, so I decided to try another game which uses punkbuster. I decided to try America s army (aa was chosen because it's free) and the same problem occurred. PunkBuster service has not started.

    I ve started looking for solutions and I've tried a good number of them.
    I first thought that maybe kaspersky 6 is causing the problem so I deleted (first time I stopped it, not help) and did a clean install of the game. That did not help either.
    Then I thought that maybe it's my network device causing this (Scientific - Atlanta Webstar 2000 cable modem), nope.
    Maybe my network device I use 2 days a week (even if it was obvious that this was not the problem)... zyxel P-660HW-D3 (adsl router). Nothing has changed.

    I used the punkbuster web ticket to send them a query, but after three weeks, there is still no response.

    Other things I've tried (without success):
    -tried to fix punkbuster, in which case the punkbuster has been broken, with the latest version of pbsetup.exe from evenbalance site, also tried to repair with pbsvc.exe
    -clean installation (a clean install in fact because I used youruninstaller 2008 to uninstall the previous installation) of the game without the punkbuster, new installation of the punkbuster, added play in manually.
    -tried to run punkbuster from inside, the game using the console

    Is my model s Toshiba Satellite A100-192 and its system requirements are:
    Intel dual core 2.0 GHz
    1.5 GB OF RAM
    Mobility radeon ATI x 1600 (256 MB)
    etc...
    Running Windows XP home SP2
    Basically, the games work very well in single player mode (bright cod4 settings means, aao) is not a sort of plug system problem.

    My guess is that somehow punkbuster service conflicts with some Toshiba Utilities and therefore does not start.

    If you please try to use punkbuster as search mode client in any search engine and you will find several tips on does not work/client punkbuster. Because of this I really do not think that it has something to do with the Toshiba laptop.

    To be honest, your question is for the support of Activision.

    See:
    [http://i39.tinypic.com/rw4f8p.jpg]

    Hello

    You should try to remove the devices that they are marked with a yellow exclamation point. Start Notepad, and then install the latest drivers from the Toshiba site.

    If the virus has destroyed an important system files that it s is no longer possible to install a driver and you need to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk? You can do this with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. Maybe you are able to do this at the moment.
    In addition, you reinstall Windows using the recovery of HARD drive option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. Some Windows files will be loaded and then you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you can t create the recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba directly:

  • Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

    Hello

    cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
    Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

    Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

    First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
    After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

    Simple disc burning layer without problem.

    Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thank you
    Luci

    Hello

    tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

    I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

    Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

  • Satellite A100 - 192 PSAA9: display black stills from time to time

    Hello

    Satellite A100 - 192 PSAA9 with card ATI X 1600.

    Despite the fact that I have installed the latest driver on Toshiba support site, screen darkens (off) from time to time for no apparent reason.

    I turn off the computer by pressing the button for a few seconds.

    When I turn on the computer, the screen is still dark, even if the computer starts.

    Only after I take the battery from the computer and on new and then turn on the computer, the screen is OK.

    I could not know if it's a hardware or software problem.

    Computer is one and a half years.

    I wanted to know if anyone has had such an experience before taking the computer to the service center.

    Do you use the Toshiba original pre-installed factory image?

    But I can't find what brand of ram comes with my type of laptop?

    Well, I guess the Toshiba provides own notebooks with Toshiba memory modules.
    It seems that these modules are compatible:
    DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
