• Satellite A300 - how to use two hard disks?

  My Satellite A300 came with two 200 GB hard drives (drives C and D). What is the best way to use the D drive? Now I have nothing about it. If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?

  A basic question, I know, but the manual provides no information on this subject.

  Hey Dearborn,

  > If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?
  No, D: drive will not be filled automatically.
  When installing the program, you will be asked which drive they will be installed. So you can choose between C: and D: drive.

  In general there are no rules the use of two hard disks. You can do what you want.
  In my opinion the best is if you install all the programs on C: drive (first HARD drive) and save your private files such as photos, videos, documents, etc. on drive D: (second HARD drive). Its advantage is that if you need to reinstall Windows at all times, these files on the second HARD drive will not be deleted. ;)

  Have you bought an original recommended by Toshiba battery?

• Satellite A300-1BZ: %1 is not a valid win32 application after change of themes

  Having had my Satellite A300-1BZ for a couple of years now, I found myself suddenly bored standard vista themes and started playing with change them. (I was after a ultimate black watch with change start menu and buttons etc.)

  In any case cut to the Chase, I went wrong somewhere with VistaGlazz through to replace something like shell32.dll
  As it said in the readme file I changed it to shell32.dll.bak

  My computer has continued to run fine until I ran a reboot. After that, I got after the log on screen was a blue screen with a mouse.

  Luckilly I have an iphone so managed to get on internet forums and find a solution which was to use a command in cmd.exe that fixed the problem.

  The only thing is now that I have a very basic windows Classic theme that when I try to change to Vista in the theme settings it gives the message:
  * "the theme could not load. %1 is not a valid win32 application. "

  Any help and step by step for the user base would be much appreciated! I guess it can't be that bad since Windows is still running and working properly!

  Thank you

  Hi tarmacsnortingmonster,

  That is the reason why I n t play with any 3rd themes part because I always read from time to time on various problems after installation. So I don't use Windows themes pre-installed and don t have problems.

  In any case, I think you should try a system restore to an earlier point before installing this theme.
  I hope this helps if not it is time to reinstall Windows, I think that :(

• Satellite A300-1BZ running slow

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite A300-1BZ and I am not very happy as the laptop seems to be very slow...
  I'm used to a 3 years old is not very powerful laptop and my new Satellite is most of the time slower.

  For example just to log in a 'normal' Web page processors must run at least 60% to 70% and keep this speed even just to keep the page running...
  Is this normal?
  I would have immagined such a new machine to be much better...

  Someone else has the same problem?

  Please let me know I think of sending this laptop back...

  Thank you
  AD

  I agree with Joey please don t forget an important fact. You use the Vista.
  Been to Vista specs and details?

  This new Microsoft OS is a monster. He eats the material resources and therefore you feel a slow performance.
  In addition, your laptop was equipped with different features and installed after many different applications that control functions.
  All programs running in the background s Vista and generally, they use a portion of the CPU performance too.
  All this can affect the performance of notebooks.

  So please don t compare this laptop with older laptops because most of these older machines is not equipped with the same characteristics and the same software!

• Cannot enable Bluetooth on my Satellite A300 - 1BZ

  My laptop package listed on bluetooth but I can't afford that. FN + F8 operating just shows WiFi power.
  Also there seems to be nothing in the Panel Manager or control device. I was wondering if maybe it was the bios previous to version 3.6 upgade the problem but I don't know if it's on before that.

  Sorry, but I didn t find info on BT on this laptop model - http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A300-1BZ/150957/

  Are you sure that this laptop has Bluetooth?

• Intel Matrix Storage Console - Satellite A300-1BZ

  Hello

  I have an A300-1BZ and I noticed that the Intel Matrix Storage Console is informing me that I have 3 (0,1 and 2) SATA ports.

  He informs me that ports 0 & 1 are in use (I have 2 hard drives mounted) and port 2 is not used.

  What I want to know is - it possible that this small A300 that can accommodate a 3rd hard drive?

  The comments appreciated!

  As far as I know, none of the Toshiba laptops can operate with three hard disks.
  Two only. even more great multimedia models as Qosmio have two hard drives only.

• Satellite 300 - 1BZ - 2nd installation drive

  Hello

  I want to install a 2nd hard drive in my laptop (my lappie has 2-Bay hard drive) so I started to do some research, but I'm a little confused as to the type, I need to buy. One who moved with my laptop is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K 250 (250GB) but looking at the Hitachi site, there are several different versions of this model. The version number that came with my laptop is a Hitachi HTS542525K9SA00.

  I really want to install a 500 GB drive in 2nd Bay, but even though I know that the drive that I need is a SATA I'm not for sure if connections in the HARD drive Bay are of a standard type. I looked at all the specs on the Toshiba site on my laptop but they don't give me much information.

  Looking at the manual of the A300 to the 2nd hard drive Bay is not even mentioned and from Toshiba Web site lists only the options for external hard drive that I find a little confused, considering that my lappie has 2 internal hard drive bays!

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  You usually have a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  The connectors must be the same.

  I saw another thread regarding the second location of HARD drive and it seems that your laptop is supported by this connector. If this controller is available, it must be a SATA controller.

  See you soon

• Satellite A30: Replacement of RAM and HARD disk

  I am about to replace the HARD drive in my Satellite A30 with a 100 GB one and update the RAM in both slots 1 & 2. Can someone give me a step by step guide to do this?
  Also to clean the mouse buttons leave because they no longer work correctly

  Thank you very much

  Hi Andy,.

  To replace the hard drive, you need to remove the F5 screw on the bottom of the laptop. This will allow the optical drive to slide toward the front of the laptop so that you can get on the hard drive.

  Remove the four screws (2 on each side) that hold the hard disk, and then gently slide forward to disconnect its multi connector.

  Remove the two metal (one on each side) of the old drive brackets and attach them to the new drive then carefully replace the new drive and drag it to the back of the laptop (be careful not to bend the pins).

  Finally replace the optical drive and fix it with the screw (F5).

  Remove the RAM modules is described in the manual of the A30 user but briefly it is to remove the screws holding the access plate on the bottom of the laptop, and then releasing the fasteners securing spring-loaded modules RAM, so that they can be angled to allow them to be removed from the location of connectors. The new modules can be inserted (they won't be back in a sense) and pushed into place until the fixing pins 'click '. It is very important that you take adequate and anti-static precautions before accessing RAM modules as they can easily be 'flashed' by a discharge of static electricity.

  Kind regards

• Satellite C660 - Diagnosis indicates a failure hard disk

  Run the diagnostics on my two day old - Satellite C660 shows a failure on the hard drive. Check disk hard Windows ran without failure.

  Can I assume that it is a false indication by diagnosis of Toshiba? The thread on this topic is not conclusive on this issue.

  Thank you Fred

  Hi frredi,

  Diagnostic tool what you mean? It's the Toshiba Diagnostics tool that shows an error on the HARD disk?

  If Yes, you must contact the seller of the laptop and ask for replacement laptop. Bad HARD drive sector you can still get but he s not recommendable to save important data in this regard.

  So just give shop and take a new one. :)

• Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

  Hello.

  Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
  That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

  Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

  Thanks for any help.

  Karim...

  Hello karim

  When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
  Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
  This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

  In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
  Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

  If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Good luck.

• Cannot create a recovery for my Satellite A300-1BZ CD

  I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator repeatedly and with many different brands of discs to create the recovery disk.
  However each time as the laptop is about to finish burning the disc, there is an error and the operation not can be completed.

  I don't think there is a problem with the drive as I have used for many other things including watching movies without problem.
  Could Toshiba please send me a recovery disk instead?
  Thank you

  > Could Toshiba please send me a recovery disk instead?
  A mail recovery disk? Very interesting. Mailed 4 GB image is not so easy.

  I don't know what you're doing, but if you want good tip then use Verbatim or TDK DVD-R blank media. For the DVD-R.
  I have too many Satellite A300 and recovery DVD, I created successfully.
  Do you use DVD-R virgins too?

• Satellite 3000-514 and put to hard disk

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive (Toshiba MK6026GAX, 60 GB) for my Satellite 3000 514. When I replace the old with the new hard drive is not recognized. The version of the BIOS is later (2,30 trad) from the side support Toshiba. Someone now how this could be fixed?

  Thank you
  Christian

  Hello

  As Quad says no each HARD disk will be recognized because of the size.
  You must contact the ASP for the drives supported. It has detailed information about the supported HARD drive sizes. But without a professional help s not possible to recognize the HARD drive.

  Good bye
