• Problem with hd satellite M40-155 (PSM40) & Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM

  Hello to all Toshibians,

  I recently upgraded from hd (origin: Toshiba 100 GB 4200 RPM) in my M40 - 155 (PSM40) satellite with a Seagate Momentus 100 GB at 7200 tr/min/8 MB cache.

  I work in the area of music production and after much advice I realized that I needed a faster HD to maximize the number of audio track (working on projects of audio tracks of 40 +).

  This Seagate hd has been installed in a computer pro shop.

  When you go to work, after you have reinstalled all applications, I noticed everything was surprisingly faster navigation, at the opening of the applications in CPU resources that I use for music production, BUT there, I had some real wicked behaviors of the computer: BEFORE the new installation of hd, I managed to open very large projects, I work currently on and AFTER the installation of the hd , I noticed the reading has been bit sluggish UNTIL I have NOTE WITH the AUDIO-APP OWN CPU METER THE CPU A VA WILD AFFICHANT QUICKLY CHANGE the VALUES OF the USE CPU 25 to 85% to 40% to 99% goingfrom NOT STOP CAUSING the INNACURATE READING.

  I tried ALL audio applications I need to see if it was not related to a particular program, but NO: the problem is general.

  (I did every possible scan with windows tools, my bios is up to date, I do not have the virus, there is still a lot of space on the disk, I defragmented the hd...)

  So, I have a HD quality much faster and decreases performance?

  I already e-mailed seagate, but am waiting for a response.

  This situation is urgent, because it is the only computer I have and use professionally on a daily basis.

  What could be the problem? Anyone of you has experienced a performance problem during the hd upgrade? Is there something I could do to fix this? Is there a program that could solve this problem?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Sorry, this is a very special issue.
  I can only suggest what's wrong or why it occurs.

  The fact is that the new HARD drive is much faster. In this case, the CPU must manage more data and processes.
  Well, I put t know if it helps to solve your problem, but I recommend you change some settings in the performance options.
  Go to control panel and system. Choose the Advanced tab.
  Check in the second Advanced tab that the use of planning and the memory of the processor is assigned to programs. In addition, you can check the virtual memory settings.
  You can increase virtual memory, or you can set it to the size of the managed system.

  Are all this advice, and you should try it but I m not 100% sure if this will solve your strange problem

• Satellite M30x-124 - problem with Seagate momentus 160 GB

  I have Toshiba Satellite M30x 124 and change the hard drive. I've set up Seagate momentus 160 GB but do not work. BIOS detects the hard drive but when I put the cd with windows xp and I want to install windows xp, nothing to do. Where to find the bios with attendance more hard drive
  Linux is the work, but windows... :/

  Sorry, but my English is not good.

  Hello

  The clear issue and can be resolved very easily:
  Reason:
  You use a non compatible HARD disk

  Solution;
  Replace the HARD drive with the compatible!

  The laptop seems to be supplied wit a 80 GB IDE HDD.
  I advise to use the same or a HARD 100 GB / 120GB.

• Is Seagate Momentus XT 750GB / 7200 RPM/MIN/32MB6GBPS COMPATIBLE WITH XPS M1530?

  Hi all

  I would like to know if the Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB internal Serial ATA Solid State hybrid Drive for laptops (Model # STBD750100) is compatible with the XPS M1530?  I bought the M1530 in March 2008, but my drive crashed, so I need a new.

  Here are the specs for the Momentus XT:

  2.5"/9.5mm

  750 GB

  7200 RPM

  SATA

  6 GB/s data transfer

  32 MB Cache buffer

  8 GB flash NAND of SLC solid state memory

  I really wanted a disc SATA 1 TB 7200 RPM with 32 MB of cache (but I'd settle for 16), but so far, I've not had much luck finding one in my price range that would work.  Site of parts/upgrades of Dell recommended only 500 GB/5400 RPM.  Told me a dell agent via chat than the Dell 1 TB 7200 RPM Nearline SATA would work, but starting at $ 470, is the way out of my price range.

  If the Momentus XT will not work, anyone know of any player who would get me close to everything on my wishlist?

  Thanks for the help.

  AGJ

  Yes, the Momentus XT will work.

  Nearline SATA disks cannot even hold, much less work - so that the recommendation is defective.  They are designed for type blade - notebooks no servers.

• Satellite A100 - 233 Bluetooth is compatible?

  Does laptop A100-233 is Bluetooth. If so, how to enable it. If not, how have it installed. The rear chain shows no BT mark as shown in the FAQ of the bluetooth technology.

  Hello

  I'm sorry to say that the Bluetooth is not available on the Satellite A100-233 and the unit is not extensible BT.
  If you want to use BT technology, you should use a stick of external BT or BT's PCMCIA card

• Upgrade memory on the Satellite A350-10I

  I have a Toshiba satellite A350 10I. I want to increase the RAM 2x2gb ddr2 800 MHz memory.

  Can be changed with ddr3? The motherboard will support?

  This kind of upgrade can be. RAM upgrade must be done with 100% compatible modules. Faster RAM will not help at all. It depends on the motherboard THAT FSB accelerated. If you use the memory modules as soon as they be pointing down.

  How do you upgrade the drive HARD and fast use of SSDS?

• Satellite A100-233 - what memory I need?

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A100-233 and I want to increase its memory. The question is, if my card MOM, can I put DDR2 memory with 667 MHZ speed or I use only 533 MHZ?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It according to your chipset you ;)

  If you want to just buy a second memory module, I'd be the same module as the first. So that you know its module is compatible with the laptop and normally two identical modules must be used in the book to avoid problems of incompatibility.

  But as far as I know A100-233 can handle up to 667 MHz modules. If the first module runs with 533 MHz, the second module will work also on 533 MHz. This means that the modules are compatible downgrade.

• Problems with the reader of CD/DVD on the Satellite A350-12j

  Hello

  I just bought my laptop, Toshiba Satellite A350-12j, two weeks ago and am generally happy with it, but I can't seem to read correctly the data DVD.

  When I try to play a DVD that I burned on my data desktop PC, the laptop starts to read, but takes very, very long time.
  When I try to copy the data on the DVD of my laptop, it takes forever (I tried once for 45 minutes and then abandoned) and after a while it starts to claim it can read most of the files on the DVD.
  It is not the data on the disks which raises problems, cause when I transfer those my desktop to my laptop computer on a Flash DRIVE instead of a DVD, files are copied immediately without problem.

  At first I thought it could be due to the DVDs themselves (I use TDK DVD + ROM), or perhaps that Vista was the culprit, but I tried the same exact discs on my friends laptop Medion also running Vista and it is having no problem whatsoever.

  Anyone have any ideas what could be the cause, or better yet, which could solve it?

  Thanks in advance!

  > When I try to play a DVD that I burned on my data desktop PC, the laptop starts to read, but takes very, very long time.

  Hmm I think this could be a problem of DVD not entirely compatible.
  My laptop drive s couldn t read or write DVDs from different manufacturers.
  I tested a lot of disks and now I m using TDK DVD-R.

  But it of always different. Maybe your drive would not support this disc correctly, but another disk would be better supported

  I think you should test it simply. There are many manufacturers different drive don t give up buddy

• Satellite A350-12J: what BIOS should I use

  Hi all...

  don't know what bios download, can't see vids, audio only... (avi file)...

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Why you n t know what BIOS is compatible?
  Where is the problem?

  Satellite A350-12J seems to belong to the PSALWE series. The number should be placed at the bottom of the unit.

  If you choose this model number on the European driver Toshiba page then you would get the BIOS and all the necessary Vista drivers for this device.
  The page provides the BIOS for vista 32-bit and 64-bit. If the Vista is 32 bit OS then take the BIOS for 32 bit

  But to be honest, I always put t know what problem is your ad is very short all not really useful

• Portege M400: SATA 120 GB Seagate Momentus HD is not recognized

  I bought the new and more great SATA HDD for Toshiba Portege M400. It's the drive Seagate Momentus 5400.2 120 GB SATA NCQ, but this drive does NOT work in M400. Laptop does not recognize this HD - only message is error HD (after approx. 3 minutes) and also part of the BIOS and the BIOS RAID does not know this HD.

  I don't know why in my office that this drive works perfectly. Can someone help me with this drive in M400? Is - is this possible problem with NCQ function? (I don't know, how do I trigger this function NCQ) Or something else?

  Thank you!

  In my opinion, your laptop and the BIOS cannot recognize this HARD drive because of the large size.
  As far as I know, you can use 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives. I'm not sure about 120 GB HARD drive size.
  But if you want to be sure that the compatible devices and supported at 100%, you can contact Toshiba service partner in your country.
  There you can also order the parts.

• Qosmio F60 and Seagate Momentus XT problem

  Hello!

  I need help to solve a problem.
  I tried to change the hard drive of my Qosmio F60 for a Seagate momentus XT (hybrid SSD). I have even if it was simple

  First of all, my new HARD drive was not recognized in the BIOS. So I put a rider to force the SATA 1 mode on the hard drive.
  Now, it appaears on the configuration of the bios.

  With the recovery media creator, I created a USB boot drive.
  So I plug in the USB, I turn on the computer, launch of media recovery, he creates the partition, copy files, everything is ok, but when it restarts, it wrote to insert a system disk...

  Why am I wrong, is there a problem using this HARD drive?
  I said that is usb, the same hard drive works perfectly.
  Is there something to do with the Bios?
  I don't have the update, but my version is since September 2010, I think.

  Thank you very much for your answers.

  Hello

  Not sure if the SATA option is available in the Qosmio F60 BIOS but some BIOS on Toshiba laptops supports this option. In this case, you could switch between the AHCI and compatibility mode.
  But the Toshiba recovery image already contains the SATA drivers, so the system should work with AHCI mode or compatible, too.

  > but when it restarts, it wrote to insert a system disk...
  Are you sure that the laptop start on internal SSD where the operating system has been installed?
  To me it looks a little more the laptop would not boot from that disk SSD.
  Disconnect the USB, by default, the BIOS flash drive and try to boot again

• Satellite A350-20 q - screen is blank when installing Fedora 11

  Hi all..

  A few months back, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A350-20 q. The problem is when I try to install Fedora 11 on this laptop. When I start using the bootable DVD and try to install, the screen turns off after that a check of the media is complete. There is no graphical interface for installation.

  However, he does very well and settled on a Satellite A300 and one laptop of another as well. What can be the problem?

  I tried the two variants for different architectures i386 and a x86_64. Same problem in the DVD. Please help :(

  Hello

  What happens if you install Windows or another Linux distro? Maybe Fedora 11 isn't compatible with your laptop and you get a blank screen.
  Check it!

  In addition, I agree with Akuma and you should try to update the BIOS and also reset to the default values.

• How can I get a satellite A110-233 to recognize the NIC under Linux?

  Hello

  I just bought a satellite A110-233. I have partitioned the hard drive, so I have XP and Fedora Core 5 (FC5).
  XP works fine when I plug in the network cable, but FC5 (or at least the Linux kernel) doesn't seem to be able to find and activate the network card.

  The message I get is "8139too device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. The 8139too module is in memory as the mii (which points to him).

  Somehow, I need to get Linux to detect that the card is there, but I don't know how to do this. Can anyone help?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop has a built-in Realtek network I / F chip RL8100CL.
  I think you should googol around LAN compatible driver for Linux that supports this chip.
  Unfortunately, Toshiba page you will find not all drivers for any Linux distribution because Toshiba doesn't support this operating system. ;(

• Satellite A350 - where to download the display driver?

  I accidentally deleted my ATI display driver and now I am currently using the standard VGA graphics card, I tried to download a new driver on the toshiba site, but the link does not work. (I'm using a 64-bit operating system).

  Is there another where I could download a display driver, and also im don't know who I have to download that is compatible with my satellite A350-PSAL6A?

  Hello

  I checked the European site of Toshiba, and there, I created a very similar model, the Satellite A350 PSAL6E. It seems that this laptop is equipped with the same graphics card and the download works.
