• How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

  Hey,.

  Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
  I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

  Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

  How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
  The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
  Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

  The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
  I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
  There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

  Thank you!
  Chris

  > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

  You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
  The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

  The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

• Satellite A660-133 - Vibrations when I use the keyboard or a touchpad

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A660-133, when I use the keyboard or the touchpad I can hear a lot of vibration from the stop of the laptop. I think that this is not normal, but actually the same model showed in the shop does the same thing. What do you think about this?

  Is there anyone who has this model and who is able to tell me what is its experience in this respect?

  Thank you!

  Hi davmat,

  I m not Satellite A660 owner, but a friend told a. He never spoke to me such a problem expect that s a great notebook with powerful hardware and he likes the design. I agree with him that s a great notebook from Toshiba!

  Anyway, if you think that it of not normal, you need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can check this problem and maybe you need a new keyboard, but this can be exchanged under warranty.

  You can find a list of aspic here:

  Good luck! :)

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• Question on the extension of the hard disc on the Satellite A200-1XO slot

• UCS C240 M4 will not start from the HARD local using MegaRAID SAS HBA 12 GB disc

  I have a new server C240 M4 with 12 GB of MegaRAID SAS HBA. I have configured a key virtual bootable (VD0) with 2 SSDS and disks SAS TB in a RAID 5 Virtual Drive (VD1) + global hot spare with 5 1.

  I installed ESXi on VD0 without any problem, but the system doesn't VD0 as bootable.

  I tried adding a local HARD drive in the boot order using the MMIC, but it seems not to be inserted in the selection of boot device.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The configured boot order corresponds to the real boot order in the MMIC?

  "I tried to add a local HARD disk to the boot order using the MMIC, but it seems not to be inserted in the selection of boot device."

  Ensure that the RAID controller is enabled in the BIOS Boot Options:

  Also ensure that the PCIE slots are enabled:

  If you still have trouble, let me know.

• Satellite A660 - protection of HARD drive utility does not enable protection

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 1F6, unfortunately the usefulness of Toshiba HDD protection does not enable protection because all the buttons are gray, and when I try to open it, a message appears: "He was not able to set up properly for the Service of HARD drive Protection System."

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the situation does not change.

  Thank you.

  Are you using the original operating system preinstalled that you got with your laptop?

• Satellite L300 - Chaning the HARD drive partitions

  I'm not a computer expert, so answers in clear English + please.

  I own a Satellite L300. Recently, the hard disk was doing fairly complete. I save all my files in "My Documents" etc... I had a look under my computer and the volume C: (called 'Vista') has only 5 GB of free space. However, there is also another volume E: (called 'Data'), and this volume is almost empty, apart from a folder called HDDRecovery.

  I would like to start using this free space. I tried to reduce the size of the E: volume and the volume C:, but - although I can reduce volume E: via Start-computer-Manage - I can't increase the volume C:. In any case, I could only reduce the E: volume by half.

  I created the recovery DVD, so can I remove this volume E: or not? And if I do, I'll be able to extend the C: volume to fill my hard drive?

  If not, can I just start to save files in the E: volume it will affect what is already there?

  What is the best course of action? What I would really like is just a very large volume, so that my files are in one simple place.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks,
  Andrew

  Hi André,.

  First I put t understand why reduce you the E: volume or use only one partition. In my opinion every computer must have at least two partitions. On the second partition, I always save my documents, videos, photos, music, etc.. It is cool and can save a lot of time because if I reinstall Windows using the recovery disk, all the files it will not be deleted, only the first partition.
  As you can see, the second partition is a useful feature!

  But if you have the Toshiba Recovery disk you can do what you want. If a problem occurs, you can restore the settings from the factory with this disc in a few minutes.

  By the way: here's an interesting article on the Windows disk management:

• Satellite A660 - recharge the battery

  I'm just after the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite A660-1FM i7-740QM. I brought it home and plugged and then lit it. It turned out perfectly, but it doesn't seem to work on the farm.

  Costs associated with 0% and it is fair to say that the battery is charging. He has served for the last hour and so far nothing.

  If I plug out then he dies immediately.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
  Remove the battery.
  Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
  Reinsert the battery.
  Plug the power adapter of the computer
  When the PC is turned off, allow the battery to charge until the battery status light
  Disconnect the power adapter.
  Remove the battery.
  Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
  Reconnect the AC adapter.
  Let the battery recharge until fully charged battery status.
  Now your battery must be charged completely. You should notice more autonomy.

  I posted it for a toshiba official support base.

• Satellite C660 - update the HARD drive firmware question

  I have satellite C660 with hard drive: MK3275GSX, firmware: v.GT001M. On another Web site support site I found the update of firmware for v.GT002D ([link: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/mw/en/mwdhs1/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6330?driverId=FP21C&fileId=3126089791&osCode=W732 & languageCode = en]).

  Can I use this update?

  Question may be stupid, but why firmware update HARD drive? Over the past 10 years I ve ever installed an update of the HARD drive.

  If Toshiba support doesn t offer an official update on the download page, I think that you don t need.

• Satellite Pro L10, the hard disk activity?

  Hi, I noticed that on my new L10 Pro of Satellite keeps it hard drive light flashing every 3 seconds approximately and I can also hear disk activity, even when he's just sitting there idle. I was wondering if this is normal, if so why? I was a little suspicious, so I checked all processes running, nothing suspicious. I thoght maybe it's because my drive is fragmented, then defragmented but no change. I thought maybe theres a kind of disk being cached on. I have 512 MB of ram and adequate committed virtual memory, if its doing with VMM is this normal?

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the reason for this. I had a similar problem with my Satellite. The HARD drive was very often active and very slow. In my case, the reason was the antivirus software. The scanning of the HARD drive has been the almost permanent process and something to work on the machine was almost impossible.

  After removing the antivirus software HDD is fast. Now, I found a new and there is no problem more.

  Computer laptop screen then start the system restart and start windows normally.

  I tried both options, the screen turns white and the same options appear while it sticks right in this continuous loop.

  Could it be a problem with the new HARD drive or restore disk any help appreciated

  Post edited by: sixbeers

  Don t think that this problem could be related to the HARD drive, but who knows that everything is possible, but I think that it s incredibly.

  Have you checked the memory modules?
  These strange behaviors for laptop may be related to a dysfunction of the memory of my knowledge too.

  But as I have already said, we can always provides suggestions and be 100% sure what part is affected a notebook check would be needed!

• ThinkPad R60 cannot install Windows XP After erasing the HARD drive using the lenovo diagnostic utility

  WinXP pro Setup cannot find that any installed HARD disk so cannot install windows. Unfortunately after many attempts to use rescue and recovery to restore the factory settings and for some reason constantly default... After leaving another utility popped up giving me the opportunity to erase the HARD drive and so I did... After fact as well and all I had was a blank screen, no windows more or no matter what utility to reinstall windows, then I used my winxp pro installation CD, but the program installation would continue not after a certain point by saying that the installation did not find any HARD disk installed. followed by "ensure that any disk HARD r turned on and correctly connected, and that no matter what material associated drive configured correctly, this may involve running a manufacturer provided diagnostic or Setup program. Clearly it took me by surprise. What was supposed to be a cut to white erase and reinstall now me baffled and angry. Formats the HDD of the solution? If so why didn't not the usefulness of lenovo do... If not, what is the problem? Someone help pls

  Welcome to the forum!

  Go into the BIOS (F1 at startup), set the "compatible" SATA mode (NO AHCI), then press F10 to save and exit, and you should be all set.

  Good luck.
