• Satellite A500-1GL: what are the essential drivers for Win7 64 bit

  Hello

  First of all, sorry for my English, I'm french :)

  Second, I'm going to buy this PC next month and I have the opportunity to buy it without a Windows license (I'm already a Windows license).
  So I'm lost to find the drivers on the download page, because there are several versions of drivers (for example drivers: Nvidia or Realtek Semiconductor Corporation)

  (Important drivers) drivers I need to download once to install Windows Seven 64-bit.

  Thirdly, I would like to know if it is possible to install display drivers downloaded from the Web of Nvidia site and not that of Toshiba?

  Thanks for your help :)

  Hello

  > So I'm lost to find the drivers on the download page, because there are several versions of drivers
  Satellite A500-1GL is a part of the PSAR9E series. If you need drivers then you must choose Satellite A500 PSAR9E

  > What (important drivers) drivers I need to download once to install Windows Seven 64-bit.
  Almost all of the drivers are important... the essential drivers are sound, lan, wlan, graphic card driver, touchpad, etc.
  VAP (value added package) and utility support memory card Flash are required for keys FN and buttons of media control

  > Thirdly, I would like to know if it is possible to install display drivers downloaded from the Web of Nvidia site and not that of Toshiba?
  Usually it s not recommended to use the drivers from nVidia or an ATI page because these drivers don't support drivers Toshiba overheating protection
  But if you want to use the nVidia drivers so that at you own risk

  Installation can be a bit harder running the exe file will not work because you will get a message that this driver is not allowed, but you can install all the drivers in Device Manager you can point to the driver files, stored on the HARD drive and this will allow to choose the nVidia Driver

• Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

  I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

  1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
  [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
  How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  :-)

  Hello

  You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
  So what s the problem?

  Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
  The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
  The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

  Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
  If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
  If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

• Can satellite M70-337 - I put the HARD drive?

  Hi all,.

  I have a Satellite M70-337, the vehicle currently has 40 GB of hard drive. The laptop has served me well and I want to upgrade the hard drive 100 GB +, anyone has done this?

  If Yes please advise on the type of hard drive required and their availability. I have 2 GB of RAM and want to run Windows 7 on this computer.

  Hey mate,

  Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive why not? :)

  AFAIK Equium M70 already use hard drives with Serial ATA interface. This means that you must buy a 2.5 HARD drive with this interface.
  For example, a 120 GB model should work!

  In my view, it is irrelevant, what type (manufacturing) that you choose. There is no major differences, but I have good experiences with Western Digital.

• Satellite A100-237, which is the HARD drive more big, I can install?

  Hello!
  Can you guys help me. I have the Satellite A100-237
  I would like to buy a new HARD drive (250 GB or 320).
  What is the largest HARD drive can I install in this laptop? I couldn't find any info about it.
  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  The point is that there are no details or info on HARD drive sizes compatible max.
  If we can only speculate.
  Is the laptop seems to support SATA hard drives and in my opinion one 250 GB or more should work.
  But this is only a personal opinion, and it would be very interesting to know if a HDD 320 would work too.

  Please post some comments after you have upgraded the HARD drive.

  See you soon

• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

• Satellite M70 - down keyboard when the HARD drive gets hot

  My Satellite M70-181 begins typing "t" series when you reach the working temperature. In my case, if the HARD disk exceeds a temperature of 48-50 ° C (speedfan).
  I replaced the original Travelstar with a new HDD Samsung, but it becomes so hot that precedes it and the blackout keyboard still appears.
  Because the processor is idle most of the time, the fan is too slow. But the fan doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the HARD drive in any case.
  Any ideas anyone? (Sorry for this kind of English...)

  Frank

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem with keyboard only when the temperature is raised to a higher level?

  To be honest, I have never experience this problem and I can't believe that a higher temperature of HARD drive could affect the functionality of keyboard

  However, maybe you should clean the grids and the cooling fans. The notebooks are clogged with dust and don t cooling modules work properly.
  Use a jet of compressed air which should help to remove dust, I think this should help to reduce the internal temperature.

  Then simply to boot from the recovery and installation CD must start.

  Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

• Satellite 1130: How to upgrade the HARD drive?

  I want to spend the hard drive from my old laptop Satellite 1130. But the manual to write that it is fixed, could I ask if I can update and how to?

  Thank you

  Hello

  HARD drive upgrade is possible on each unit. The HARD disk must be placed under the optical media drive. Optical media drive is fixed with a screw on the underside. Remove this screw and you will be able to opt out of the Bay.

  HARD disk itself is fixed by four screws.

  Please don't do anything if you n t have experience with it, because everything you do to yourself is at your own risk.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M30X - high use of the hard drive

  Once the connection in Windows XP (SP2), my computer toshiba laptop is very slow. The hard drive light is permanently on during 5 minutes. I looked in the Task Manager, but the CPU usage is low and RAM usage is low. There is no program which seems to use a lot of CPU or RAM.

  I actually disabled the pagefile to see if problems due to intensive use of the paging to the HARD disk file, but the problem persists. The laptop model is Satellite M30X-113.
  I don't know if it's related, but this problem is posed at the time that I have subscribed to a 256 MB RAM module and installed a 512 MB (making the total RAM 1024 MB).

  Did you buy compatible RAM module recommended by Toshiba (high quality product) or some piece of cheap hardware?

  By the way: have you also tried to wipe the HARD drive using the cleaning disc or as option Defragmenter?

• Satellite 1800 is not recognizing the hard drive of 80G

  I recently bought a store and save 2500 80 external to free up hard drive space on my laptop. Deliberately, I bought a disc that was backward compatible with my USB 1.1 (assuming) ports. When I plug it in, the external drive turns on and it beeps constantly but is not recognized by my PC. I tried the drive in a desktop computer and it works fine - so were excluded from the unit malfunctions. I uninstalled the USB drives and re-installed, etc, but no luck.

  Any ideas of what I can do?

  What form factor is this player 'record and store? It's a 3.5 "or a smaller as 2.5"? And how the HARD drive is powered? With two USB connectors or an external AC adapter?

  It would be useful to know some information about everything that solve your problem.

• A33 satellite will not start on the hard drive even after the installation of the new system

  Hello, I need help, my A33 does not start on a hard drive. It is to see the drive hard in the bios and even by operating the drive when you go to install. But as soon as it will boot to the hard drive, it is just a black screen. It is very strange that you can see the hard drive in the bios and even with a diagnostics disk. I can see, scan it and check it by starting with a diagnostic disk, but when I start the computer, it doesn't do anything.

  Help please!

  Stand by. Your ad is so confused. When you read can you understand what you wrote?

  BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly, no?
  When you use bootable disk for the installation of the OS is properly recognized HDD?
  You can install OS using the original recovery disc or by using the Microsoft installation disc?
