Satellite A100-451: second partition appears as E - why not D?

Hello

I have a SAT. A100-451 running Vista. The hard drive is 160 GB and it is partitioned (factory settings) into 2 logical drives, i.e. Vista (C :) and Data(E:), chacun nominalement 80Go.)

Why is the data on E: partition, why not D:?

I have assumed that D: was reserved for the recovery partition, but if I insert a USB key, it configures the D: drive.

I'm not worried by the present, just puzzled?

Thank you

KK

Hello

I have to smile during read this ;)

The letter D: was reserved for the STRANGE-> CD/DVD drive. That's a common fact.

But of course, the letters are editable and you can assign to what you want.
You can do it in disk management.

If you n t know how to do you can do a search on the net for more details

    You need the audio Line out put and the headset jack provides this output.

  • Satellite A100-451 Vista - can I add XP and set up the dual boot?

    My new A100-451 came with 2 related partitions on the HARD disk, marked C:\Vista
    (Vista Home Premium) and E:\Data. About 80 GB on each.
    I can't get my ProII Toucam webcam works with Vista and refuse to update the software.
    Some of my other software no longer work.

    Because the HARD disk is already partitioned, I would install XP on the second partition and set up a dual boot system.
    Is it possible, and how would I go about this?

    Thank you all,
    John.

    Hello

    Of course, you can install a XP on more partition.
    But I do not recommend to install the XP on the partition existing E:\ but to create a new partition on the HARD drive.
    It s very simple to create the partition under Vista OS. Go to disk management and shrink a partition E:
    Then the 3rd other partition can be created on the empty space.

    Then you could just run the install of XP and could install XP on a partition that is created again.

  • Satellite A100-784: fact partition system restore DVD formats

    Hi guys,.

    I would ask you for help :)

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM.
    I have this Toshiba system recovery DVD. If I press F8 during start up I get to the screen where are some options (repair at startup etc.) but I'm interesting in 'Exploitation Windows System Restore'.
    I have two partitions (C:, D :), the system partition is C: :)
    So, I would ask if I use this "Exploitation Windows System Restore" there he reformatted data on the D: partition as well?

    If I press F8 when booting I get to the menu, I chose this computer repair and after that there are options:

    1 startup repair.)
    2 system restore.)
    Restoration complete 3 PC.) Windows
    Memory 4 Diagnostic tool.) Windows
    5. command prompt)
    6 operating system restore.) Windows

    Is it possible to use one of these function just to reinstal C: partition without losing data on the D: partition?

    Thanks for the reply :)

    Hi friend

    usually the system restore the c: partition fair DVD formats, so if you have two separate partitions, the restore DVD should leave the D: partition intact.
    In your case I would choose point 6. (Operating system restore) that supposedly only restores the operating system, which means that it scratches the C: drive...

    Hi again :)

    AHM, you want to use the second screen as an extension for your cockpit? Generally, it should be possible. One of my friends has defined a complete cockpit with 3 TFT´s view on his desktop computer,
    but I Don t know how it's just with two screens.

  • Satellite A100-451 - a few questions on the HARD drive, speakers

    I hope someone can help with these that I could not help on the information line.

    How fast is the hard drive on this laptop? He said SMART 160 GB, but does not specify a speed, although I'm guessing its 5400 RPM.

    Are the Harmon Kardon speakers? The specs say Toshiba stereo, and even on the Comet, he said Harmon Kardon. Here is a good bass-wise?
    Looks like there is no bluetooth, I find a little surprise.

    Finally, the only place wherever I can find it for sale is the comet... I was wondering it anyone has also saw that I had some dodgy experiences with them.

    See you soon
    Matt

    Hello

    I found some info that the rotation of the HARD drive is 4200 RPM. I'm not sure 100% on speakers but usually if laptop a harman/kardon speakers it is not in the specification but for A100-451, it is not the case. This info, you can get the garage directly.

    BT is not available, and it shouldn't surprise you because most of the A100 models are supplied without BT module. You can use any time key USB BT. IT is simple to use and really cheap.

  • Satellite A100-451: conflict of IE with the BT software

    I bought my Satellite 100-451 in May 2007.
    Windows Internet Explorer often didn't work since the beginning, so I downloaded Firefox and have used it since then.

    I recently installed the software for my newly installed BT Home Hub, BT Yahoo email, talking about BT, BT Softphone and BT Vision, which does not open with Firefox for some reason any.

    It opens with Internet Explorer and my computer now freezes everytime I try to use the BT software.
    As soon as I uninstalled all the software of BT Internet Explorer started working intermittently again.

    I tried to reinstall Internet Explorer in the past and I've always updated over the months.

    The problem must be something that is in conflict with.
    I always send reports to Microsoft when asked, but they have not sent any patches.

    Help!

    HM and may I ask you what you expect now?

    First of all, I don t think that IE is not compatible with your BT Home Hub software.
    If something is not compatible with the BT Home Hub with the IE software ;)

    In my opinion, your first point of contact should be the BT Home Hub software manufacturing support team.
    Guys design software and must ensure that own software would run on Windows operating system.

    That's why to visit website of the BT Home Hub software manufacturing and check if it y some fixes or any further details on similar problems.
