• Satellite P300 - how to use two HARD disks?

  Satellite P300 with 2 hard drives (250 (= 232)) GB.

  The first hard drive seems to be partitioned as (Vista) C: and F: (data). The F: drive contains a folder HDDRecovery, which I understand is recovery Vista using F8.
  The F: drive takes 117 GB and is empty outside the data recovery.

  I seem to be able to create additional folders on this drive F:, but I am concerned about the reliability of the data in these additional files, because it is on the partition of "valorisation".

  I want to reduce the F: drive and add a FAT 10 GB drive at the end. Then, I want to install Linux on the 2nd HARD drive, using the Toshiba boot options to choose the boot drive at startup (DO NOT install GRUB on HDD1 but on HDD2). The 10 GB FAT at the end of the 1st HARD drive will allow sharing of data between Linux/Vista.

  So, questions:
  (1) is it safe to use drive F: (recovery) for normal data storage Vista?
  (2) the possibility of recovery will affect in any way if there are records of additional data on the recovery disk? (Note: I am not in contact with the folder HDDRecovery somehow, and I did the recovery DVDs).
  (3) can I reduce the F: drive without affecting recovery options?

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  I completely agree with Garrett.

  I store my files on drive F too where is the HDD Recovery folder but I didn't not store files in there. I create additional folders.
  In addition, I would like to change the size of the partition where is the HDD Recovery folder. Maybe it will not work after that, but if burn you the recovery disk, you are on the safe side.

  Good bye

• Can Qosmio G50 - 11R - I use two hard disks?

  On the Qosmio G50 - 11R

  Anyone know if it is possible to install two hard drives in this laptop?

  As far as I know, you can only use one HARD disk in the Qosimo G50 - 11R.

  But you can check this, if you remove the second HARD drive cover (it's the only screw) and there may be a second HARD drive connector or not, so I think.

• 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.

  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.

• Satellite A300 - how to use the recovery with external DVD drive disc?

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 d

  FTM the tsscorp drive that is installed in the camera no longer works (does not detect any type of media what so ever). ) need to recover the laptop, so I used a USB DVD drive to boot from the restore disc, but after that the charges of recovery console it says waiting for media in the f: drive, which is the tsscorp drive although I used an external drive to load the disc.

  What files should I edit to make it to load from the drive externally and if this isn't the solution, what do I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to use the recovery with external CD/DVD drive disc. Therefore, place the internal for use the recovery disc.
  You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.

  But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

• Satellite A300 - how to use wake up on keyboard functionality?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A300-1ME and also a desktop PC intel 4 and I use a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) to control two computers with one keyboard & mouse. The kvm has PS/2 cables and is connected to the TOSHIBA by a PS/2 to the USB cable from the switch. The connection of the keyboard & mouse to the notebook computer is connected to a USB port. I use vista 32 bit on my laptop and XP on the desktop personal computer.

  Now for my question, how can I use the keyboard to turn on the laptop closed (not the standby mode). I tried to do by choosing the keyboard HWSetup awakening and also, I checked the bios, to the keyboard 'waking up' option and he chose but still it won't start the laptop with the keyboard.

  P.S if there is no way to turn on the laptop keyoard, then perhaps by pressing the dvd - rom. If someone knows how to do made me know

  Thank you
  * Is * a * R *.

  Hey Buddy,

  Operating instructions, I found the following information:
  + Wake up on keyboard: when this feature is enabled and that the computer is in mode 'sleep', you can activate the computer by pressing any key. It is effective only for the internal keyboard and only when the computer is in "sleep". +

  Does that answer your question? ;)

• Satellite A300-1BZ - 2nd location on hard disk?

  Hi friends

  I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I don't post under the good discussion!

  First of all, I wanted to know if a 2nd HARD drive can be added to my Satellite A300-1BZ (PSAJ4E-03L016KS)?

  If this is not possible, no one knows what is the largest (gigabytes) compatible HARD drive that can be installed on this laptop?

  Finally if one of the above options is available to what type of disc HARD would I have to install (size) & I would be limited to the use of a mark of toshiba HDD?

  Any comments would be appreciated!

  AFAIK the A300 supports SATA HDD and usually there is no limit!

  Theoretically, you can use all the available 2.5 SATA hard drives.

  How to use Recovery Disc Creator and what is the main function of Recovery Disc Creator?

  Hello

  I guess you didn't read the manual again because it explains quite well what is the recovery disk creator.

  However, this tool creates the Toshiba restore disk. This disc contains a picture of the factory settings. This means that the Windows operating system that is pre-installed with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It of easy to use (just boot from the disc), simply follow the instructions on the screen.

  For example, if you install another Windows or Windows peut t start you can use this disk to recover a system that works.

• Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

  Hello world

  I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
  This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

  If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
  Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

• Satellite P300-135 system issues using two HARD drives

  About a month ago I bought a faster hard drive for my laptop (because it wasn't hard drive 5400 RPM by default), and computer technicians to the store where I bought my laptop has recommended a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250410.

  The first couple of days everything went smooth, but after that, every second, restart my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) reports of problems with my video card, sometimes 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ", the other time"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. " (Code 43) ", and when this error occurs, the keyboard and the keyboard do not work too.
  I made a simple and primitive diagnosis by deleting the second hard drive and rebooted 5 or 6 times, and everything went very well.

  So I think the problem is that the laptop has not enough power for two hard disks. Is it true, or is my phone begins to fail?

  Sorry for my mistakes of language, but English is my second language.

  Hello

  Usually the second HDD should not affect the performance of the system, but it of impossible
  So maybe you should test the specifications and performance of OS using another HARD drive maybe a HARD disk that takes in charge of 5400 RPM

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.
