• Re: Satellite L310 - cannot start from the HARD disk

  Hello

  My L310 just died on me yesterday. My system just can not start, not even in Safe Mode. And it keeps trying to start using my network card, not through hard drive.

  I put the BIOS default settings, but it does not help.

  And she has this tone to loud continuous beep when it tries to start using the network card. A continuous beep, even on the screen of the BIOS and in safe mode.

  I chose the hard drive manually, but he keeps trying to start through the network adapter.

  And the laptop does not meet the keyboard. Even with a keyboard external usb. When I sometimes managed to boot my system on the rare occasion, I get to the login screen and cannot button my password.

  Does anyone have similar problems?

  Let me know. Thank you!

  Looks like your HARD drive is defective. BIOS recognize it?
  You should test the disk with Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it:

  Check this box and give us feedback. Maybe the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

  On the keyboard issue it is not easy to say what are the causes of the problem, but in the worst case that he should be replaced also. :(

  For instructions how to recover a Toshiba laptop with verification of HARD drive recovery procedure please this document > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  The Satellite A100, I presume that you need BIOS password. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. Accredited maintainer Toshiba can remove the password for you.

• Re: Can Satellite A100-172 - I put the HARD drive?

  Im just wondering what what can I put the HDD for my A100? The hard drive now is a 120 GB and its useless at this point due to a problem I had with it.
  I thought I'd go with this one, but I don't know about policy of hardware upgrades from Toshiba.

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma. You must take the HARD disk at 5400 RPM. It should be pretty fast and produces less heat. It is good for office and multimedia applications.

  I hope you enjoy with your new HARD drive. ;)

• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

  Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

  Hello sdf361,

  The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
  that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
  your programs since the original installation discs.

  If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

• T400 problem booting from the hard disk, blinking cursor on the top left corner of the screen

  I have problems with T400 (2765-TDG). He struggled with the Setup, which requires power 5 minutes/disable to propely operating system boot.

  Computer laptop is less than two months, entirely properly the driver being up-to-date, then after that, nothing's been done about it to user or system administrator. Problem occurred suddenly after two weeks of mentioned maintenance.

  Symptoms:

  • After initialization of the mouse, screen goes black, and the upper left corner white cursor starts to Flash
  • There is no key keyb which can contine begin the process, wait for the reboot
  • There is no other device connected to the laptop, even mouse not
  • We have several, sometimes 3-4, sometimes even 10 times, to restart with the power button in order to get the boot of the operating system
  • When he is successful, just before the start of the operating system, the boot in diagnostic mode to start (with fast start disabled) I can hear only a single beep

  What I tried to do:

  • I changed the BIOS setting to force booting only from hard drive, cut off from any other starting device.
  • Also, changed from AHCI mode to compatibility for hard drive, but without help.
  • Turned off the coast of quick start, but during the startup process, there is no specific error indicated
  • Updated version of BIOS to 2.03 - 1.01 but with no help
  • Restored the default BIOS, no help

  Done some diagnostics generals, and here is what I noticed:

  • After changing the settings in the BIOS, save & exit, the computer hangs with a black screen. I have to turn off and on in order to continue the initialization. The settings in the BIOS are registered correctly.
  • When I was able to boot into the operating system (XP), graphics card sometimes is not recognized, not even by the original driver installation. In Device Manager, I have two graphics card drivers recognized traffic sign with "Intel management engine interface" device with warning sign
  • In Event Viewer, and then only error line is "Problem with HECI driver communicating with firmware" or something like that
  • Operating system is not able to enter in standby mode, it justshows white screen and I have to turn off the laptop by pressing the off button longer

  Any help appreciated. Thank you! I hope I can cope with this before I send laptop to the authorized service.

  I'm sorry to tell you, but in case, can I had to send laptop to the authorized service provider. They replaced the motherboard and the hard disk (!). Now, everything works fine, but puts shame on Thinkpad T series notebook.

• Deleting files from the HARD disk without confirmation?

  My catalog has thousands of duplicates.  I began to remove them by opening each folder & select 1 or more and do a right click to remove.  Whenever I do this I wonder if I want to remove the HARD drive as well and I always say Yes.  Is it possible to remove the step that requires the conformation?

  I don't think so.

  But what you can do instead to delete each file individually: you can try to assign a keyword such as 'tobedeleted' to the selected files. You can assign the keyword for multiple files highlighted on your screen, browse another page and so on. When you're done, you select all files with that keyword and delete all at the same time with a single click to ' also delete disk.

• Remove stranded files from the hard disk to the VM package

  I have a virtual merger machine that is now 96 GB in size (database development) and it contains several virtual hard drives.  Now, I have cleared one of the drives on and outsourced (he placed on an external Firewire based drive).  Removing the abandoned drive does not reduce the size of the virtual machine.  Research in the VM package, I see that the hard disk file (vmdk) is always inside the package and using 54 GB.

  The question is so I can delete these files from the VM package or it will damage the VM?  I tried to make a backup of the VM, but right at the end that it maintains the production of an error so I would like to know if anyone has experience with this before making the jump.

  Removing a virtual drive simply deletes the references, it does not delete the virtual disk. If you do not have a snapshot (for example), it is safe to delete. Make sure get you the right one, well - I recommend you all first move somewhere else and then try to start the virtual machine. If it is used at the moment (but maybe not if it is only used by a snapshot), merge will complain.

• Try to migrate from the hard disk for ssd drive

  Hello, 4 days ago I bought dell inspiron with windows 8.1 5748 and a 1 TB hard drive.

  I also bought samsung 250 GB of ssd drive 840EVO to replace the disk of 1 TB of the laptop. I cloned the HARD disk drive and restored the image in the ssd drive and when I mounted the SDS disc and shot to the top of the laptop I got an error that it cannot detect a drive... Press F2 to enter setup F5 for diagnostics and F1 to reboot.

  First I made sure to rise properly. After I checked I entered the bios where I noticed that the drive is recognized in the details of the system. The model was correct, the capasity as well. Fashion was ahci.

  I ran the diagnostics and they couldn't locate a drive.

  So, is this an incompatibility? I checked for updates to the bios and I see I m to date on that. The player is surelly ok as I have tested on another pc...

  What can I do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Add1ctiv3,

  We recommend that you use the recovery disks that are you ready when you got your system to restore the image of the original on the SSD hard drive. Since they have the same size, it should work without problem.

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: sounds from the HARD disk that is not regular

  Dear,

  I bought a new Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 1 week there are, but I have noticed a noise coming from your hard drive that is not regular, whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird, I had Satellite phones precedents and never faced that.
  is this normal in this series of satellites? or damage my hard drive? Although it works very well so far.

  If anyone has an idea about this, please let me know it.

  Appreciate it.

  > Whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird
  Who is normal behavior that the HARD drive makes sounds while working.
  On some disks, the sound is louder and some drives are quieter.

  My laptop comes with a 100 GB HARD drive and I noticed that this HARD drive work harder than the previous 40 GB HARD disk.

  I don t think that there might be a problem with your HARD drive. It of new.
  So, in my opinion you should t be worried.

  and if the HARD drive is going to die your warranty covers the replacement ;)

• Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

  I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

  I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

  I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

  Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

  Hey,.

  I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
  If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

  But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
  This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

• Satellite A100-237, which is the HARD drive more big, I can install?

  Hello!
  Can you guys help me. I have the Satellite A100-237
  I would like to buy a new HARD drive (250 GB or 320).
  What is the largest HARD drive can I install in this laptop? I couldn't find any info about it.
  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  The point is that there are no details or info on HARD drive sizes compatible max.
  If we can only speculate.
  Is the laptop seems to support SATA hard drives and in my opinion one 250 GB or more should work.
  But this is only a personal opinion, and it would be very interesting to know if a HDD 320 would work too.

  Please post some comments after you have upgraded the HARD drive.

  See you soon
