• Questions on on Satellite A300 HARD drive partitions

  Hello

  I would like to install a new OS (new operating system: Windows 7, old OS: Vista Edition Home Premium) on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300-237) to repartition the whole HARD drive. I see a non-standard partition, its size is of ~ 1 GB, can I delete this partition?

  What information contains this partition?
  I did the recovery previously by Toshiba HDD Recovery disks. Guess when I delete any partition and put in place and installation of the discs, will recover the initial state (including the hidden partition)?

  Thank you

  If you want to install your own Win7 version delete all existing partitions and then create a C partition for the installation of the OS.
  I guess you write over WinRE partition and it is about 1.5 GB.

  I installed Win7 ultimate 32 bit on my Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

• Satellite A300 - hard drive

  Hello world
  Just got a Satellite A300 out of the box and I was surprised that I can hear the hard disk rotation. Is this normal? My old machine had this kind of constant to stifle sound...

  Thanks for any answers

  Otherwise nice machine

• Satellite S1900 - need new HARD drive connector

  Hello! I have a big problem. I have my good old Toshiba Satellite S1900 but my little brother (when I in a holiday) lost my laptop HARD drive connector.

  Please tell me someone where I buy this connector?

  You can ask your local ASP for this connector.
  Or you look on eBay, perhaps you can also find a second hand HDD connector.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

• Satellite L30-105 - lack of HARD drive connector

  Hello

  just picked up this laptop Satellite L30-105 for his son who had some hard drive purchased.

  I see specs it's a disc sata hard again, but the problem is that the laptop seems to be missing the connector on the hard drive.

  The laptop has just 1 row of holes where the disk sata hard was 2.

  Anyone knows where to buy connector or any help would be great thanks dave.

  You are right.
  The laptop supports SATA 2.5 HARD disk and so you should be able to use a SATA 2.5 HARD.

  I'm not quite sure which adapter is absent, but my 2.5 SATA HDD contains a piece of plastic that is removable
  Maybe you need it however, I think you could ask for except if a mobile technician in downtown or you could order it from a Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.

• Satellite A300-PSAG8E - drive HARD light flashes even when I do nothing

  These are my problems

  1. my HARD drive indicator flashes even when I do nothing (flashes every half second or more)

  2. when I go somewhere my screen turns off and when I move my screen mouse lights up but nothing happens. Everything stands still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes) and it is ready to operate.

  BIOS upgrade to the version 2.20

  OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
  Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG8E

  Someone knows the solution?

  Need help please! Thank you

  > 1. My drive HARD light flashes even when I do nothing (flashes every half second or more)
  Even if you n touch cell phone t, the disk is running and different applications, access data. Applications and processes that are running in the background cause this blinking. Notes; This isn't a problem!

  > 2. When I go somewhere, my screen turns off and when I move my screen mouse lights up but nothing happens. Everything stands still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes) and it is ready to operate.
  Disable the support by modem and disable the settings turn off the screen while the laptop is not in use. This is possible in the Windows 7 power management.

• Satellite A300 - HARD and the Installation of the OS disk replacement

  Hello world

  I watched a few videos online regarding how can I do to replace the two HARD drive in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4E-04901CEN. However, I have a few inquires before that I undertake this task:

  (1) are there any recommendation to which HARD drive should I buy for this laptop. I want something affordable with speed and relatively good ability.
  (2) how I would go about installing Windows 7 OS on the new HARD drive. I have to update my BIOS and drivers when I finished installing?
  (3) are there other guides (written or video) that you would recommend that I go through before making the replacement?

  I appreciate any help on this matter.

  A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to help. HARD on its A300 disc was defective. We bought the new 250GB SATA HDD, succeeded him, and after that, I installed Win7 32 bit.
  Now the machine works perfectly.

  Do not do anything as the BIOS update. Just put the new HARD drive and launch the installation of Win7. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Here's how I installed all the stuff on A300 friends:
  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

  If you need help more made me know.

• Satellite A300 - Graphics Driver update needed

  Hello

  I am writing this hoping someone from Toshiba will be able to help me to find and update for laptop Satellite A300, short model: PSAJ4E.
  I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on another partition.

  I noticed I was encountering problems more often because of the graphics card is not not to date.
  I am looking for an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3650 series.
  I checked the AMD for and to update, but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates. They had however an update for the ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series in December 2010, but the following comment wrote:

  Following books are not compatible with this version: *.

  All laptops launched after this version of the driver
  Portable computers compatible switchable graphics card using Intel® chipsets.
  * _Toshiba® portable (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these books) _ *.
  Sony VAIO® Laptops (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)
  Notebooks from Panasonic® (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops)

  This comment is in the following link: [AMD | http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ReleaseNotes.aspx]

  And before someone sent it to me in the updated drivers from Toshiba on the following link: [Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 781 & selSho rtMod = 697 & language = 13 & selOS = 30 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 68813 & DISO = 30 & driverLanguage = 42]

  I checked and the update on the Toshiba site is the previous update... it has the * version 8.634.1 * and AMD is at version * _8.801_* with their AMD Catalyst 10.12 software suite.

  I know laptops are not updates as much as a normal desktop pc, but it would be nice to receive updates that came out for the products that we bought.

  If possible could someone direct me, so that I can get the driver for Windows and Ubuntu?

  Kind regards

  Marc

  > I checked AMD for and to update but it seems that most cell phone manufacturers do not want to distribute updates...
  Do you know why?

  For example, I have the Satellite A300 PSAG8E and use it with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 32-bit dual boot and everything works perfectly.

• C50 - D satellite - external hard drive is not recognized

  Just Satellite C50 D but are unable to read or recognize my LaCie hard drive.
  As it has all the data from my old computer, it is rather important. Can someone provide help and advice on the way to a) the disc or b) transfer all data in the memory of the laptop

  Thank you very much
  A  :-)

  Hello

  The laptop supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
  I recommend you connect the external HARD drive to each port (USB 2.0) and USB3.0 just to check if it is not a compatibility problem. But generally, it shouldn't be a big problem to connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 external.

  However, it could also be that this external HARD drive needs more than usual 500mA power supplied by a USB 2.0 port. In this case, you must use a USB cable to Y to connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.

• Re: Satellite L300D - HARD drive with unknown password recovery?

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D of second hand to a colleague and went on to restore its framework Moose per HARD drive recovery according to the guide of Toshiba
  Link: [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm]

  I get to part 3 and find a current user name, to which the previous owner has no knowledge of, or a password in order to continue the process. Does this mean that the previous owner has locked the recovery process or there at - it a way to recover the system without the password?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, you could ask the colleague to the password ;)
  HARD drive recovery is possible if you know the password, otherwise everyone could perform HARD drive recovery and would not be without danger.

  Alternative, you can use the Toshiba recovery disc. It will be the same as the drive HARD recovery, factory settings will be restored too.

• Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
  Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

  But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
  I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

  I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

  Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Have you thought about external HARD drive failure?
  Perhaps failure of HARD drive and, therefore, it cannot be recognized correctly.

• Satellite C660: HARD drive space shows only 20 GB of free?

  Toshiba Satellite c660 with 320 GB of disk space, it shows that 2 hard drives or 2 partitions, one called data shows only 20.6 GB of free on 148, but when I go in there I can only find at maximum approximately 50 GB even with all the backups?

  Hello

  There are more partitions on the HARD drive.
  You can see it in disk management.
  Right click on computer and select manage.
  Now you should be able to go to the disk management which will show you all the available partitions.

  A hidden partition is used for the Windows 7 backup files that are needed to fix the Windows 7 in the case where something goes wrong with the OS.
  Then, you can find a Windows partition and the other partition is used for HARD drive recovery. The point is that you are able to run the system recovery from the HARD drive without the use of the recovery disc (recover disk must be created using the recovery disc creator)

• Satellite M40: HARD drive not working after laptop computer trasported turned upside down

  My Satellite M40 is facing a strange problem: whenever I have transport (for example, in the trunk of my car) backwards instead of in his natural position or vertically, after the transport, the HD does not work for a few hours. The BIOS does not see the HD because it is not present at all. After a few hours of rest, without moving, if you try to turn on the PC again, the HD magically comes to work again backwards.

  My HD is made with soda water? :)

  Talk seriously... What do you think it is?

  Hi franz

  Not easy to say what it is, or why it happens. Maybe it? s a bad connection of the HARD disk.
  I guess that this happens because of the agitation in the car.
  Well, I don? don't know if it helps but you can try to check the connection of the HARD disk.
  The second possibility to use another HARD disk. It might be because there is something wrong with the HARD drive.
