Satellite A100: question on drive C and E

Hello

This laptop is only 80 GB, but each drive C and E, has 40 GB on each partition.
C drive is full and I get messages saying that. So, how do I enter now drive E? It seems stupid to sell a laptop 80 GB when only 40 seems to be available. I hope someone knows and it of easy as I m COMP not literate in what does this kind of things.

Hello Eve

Please don't be crazy about me, but your ad is quite confusing. If the HARD disk has two partitions of two of them should be visible in Windows Explorer when you click on 'My computer' on the left side.

Can you please tell us what you see in Windows Explorer? HARD disk with two partitions generally followed order of partitions:
-first partition is indicated as C
-second partition appears as D
-the CD/DVD drive appears in the form E

If you do not see the second partition, it must be activated first. You can do this in "Computer management" in the "Disk management" option Please describe the exact situation in Windows Explorer and that we can help you to optimize the HARD drive and use the entire capacity.

  • Satellite A100 - compatibility SSD drive and recommendations?

    Hello

    A100 controller SATA HDD support.
    Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop as part of a SATA SSD drive.
    But I also read that not all laptops can properly manage the SSD drive.
    In some cases the SSD update the firmware of the player might help.
    So I can't say with certainty that the new SSD will work properly and that the BIOS would properly recognize the SSD.
    I think you'll need to test the SSD drive
    You could order it on Amazon and could test, in the worst case you could send again
    I did it too with some RAM modules that didn t work in my notebook.

    Please post some details if these updates succeeded or not, it would be interesting to know if you can use it in your A100 because I would use a SSD drive too

    Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
    All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

    Here is all the information I found.

  • Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

    Audio device:
    Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
    Manufacturer: Intel

    (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

    Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

    The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

    I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

    Best regards

    Hello

    I didn t find Win 7 driver for this device, but I recommend you to install the Vista driver because many Vista drivers can be installed on the Windows 7 operating system.

    Go page European driver Toshiba and choose your model of laptop and Vista.
    Then, you should find the Flash Media Driver for Texas Instruments.
    This is the driver for your bridge Media Slot. This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.

  • Satellite A100 has a black screen and will not charge in the Bios

    I bought a Satellite A100 - (model psaa8c-0fh00e) about 5 months ago. It was left overnight, which is not uncommon, and when I came back using about 15 hours later it was just a black screen. moved from the touch screen and keys, and nothing did. so I cold it starts and he died. I then turned it back as usual and the laptop turns on but the screen is completely black. It's not loading the normal Toshiba Bios screen.

    Now my question: If there is any way I can solve this, I am familiar with computers and parts. I don't get this cause I've ever had to reflash the wood or something like that. I am unsure of how to activate and I really want to have to take it to a shop, any suggestions would be helpful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Conrad,.

    If your 100 starts normally (spinning HARD drive, optical drive LED flashes, fans turn etc.) then I suppose that your FL inverter or LCD screen is not. You can check this by connecting an external monitor to the laptop to see if it shows the normal display.

    On the other hand if there is no activity at all portable computer turn when you turn it on then I guess you have an internal hardware failure, possibly the main card, which must be checked by a Service partner authorized Toshiba since the unit is still under warranty if it is only 5 months old.

    Kind regards

    Hi all

    I need help.
    I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my Satellite A100-326, (series PSAA9). This system has a graphics card from NVIDIA® GeForce Go 7300 with 256 MB dedicated memory that has worked very well on Windows XP MCE!

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA8): need driver for video controller

    Hello

    I bought a new Satellite A100 (PSAA8) and re-installed Windows XP Pro. I downloaded some drivers including Intel Display Driver and Flash Media Driver, etc. from the web and installed. But I can't find the driver for video controller, so I still have the questionmark beside the video controller in Device Manager. Do you know what kind of driver he is? Where I can download for the video controller & what driver?

  • Satellite A100-237: need some information and details

    All,

    While seeking to buy a new laptop, I was offered the Satellite A100-237. This laptop is T2400 / 80GB / 512MB with screen 15.4 "and ATI x 1600 video.

    I searched in the Toshiba Europe website but could not find any trace for this model. Only when I googled I found that this model is sold in South Africa.

    My questions are:
    -What is the similar model sold in Europe?
    -Is this model a new or will be interrupted?
    -Is this compatible Vista model?
    -Is this compatible Merom (Core 2 duo) model? I know that other manufacturers offer instructions and BIOS update to upgrade Yonah for Merom.
    I couldn't find this information on the Toshiba web site.

    Your help is very appreciated.

    This model is also sold in Europe (or at least in the South-Eastern and Central Europe).
    It's a new model - April or in May 2006, I think.
    He has a capable 'Vista' sticker on this subject, so I guess he can run Vista.
    In principle the Intel 945 chipset can support the Core 2 Duo with a simple update of the BIOS. The question is whether the laptop manufacturers that will provide a new BIOS.

    The build quality is very good, the only weak point in my opinion is that it comes with only 512MB. 1 GB of RAM would have been a much better companion for the T2400 and X 1600.

The only mention of "Hard disks" in bed Device Manager "FUJITSU MHY2120BH ATA Device", which I think is my DVD player.

    I tried downloading new drivers without result. Unfortunately, my warranty expired, so I can't just kick the Toshiba laptop to be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
