Satellite C660-195 - recovery partition marked "D: / Data" and looks great
Hello
1st time poster forum so be gentle please!
My mother just brought a Toshiba laptop and it is good enough to be honest. Take a quick look but I noticed that the recovery partition (which comes with most laptops now) is labeled "D:/data and 232 GB in size. Seems a little on the big side for me and I was wondering if this is incorrect?
Have a screenshot and if someone could confirm that it is I would be very grateful. Can I attach screenshots?
Thanks in advance
Rob

Windows 7 does not start on the new Satellite C660-195
Hello
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660-195 with Windows 7 pre-installed.
This morning I turned on it and it came with a black box with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe in it. This box then disappeared and Startup Repair kicked. He then told me that Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. The notice were to remove any device that had recently been attached to the laptop (such as a webcam or music device) but I did not install a hardware or devices. I clicked finish and stop you the laptop.
I lit it again and it's the same thing (new!)
A forum would suggest trying the following: click on the link 'Show advanced options of the system and support recovery' who asked me to choose the configuration of my keyboard, but then when I do & click then it tells me "you must register to access system recovery options" I am never given the option connect!
When using the F8 advanced boot options I'm still not able to solve this problem. The same thing (see above) that happens when I try to start in all security modes, last good known Configuration (Advanced), debug mode, start Windows normally etc. I don't understand it.
Looking for other forums, they suggested dΘplaτant zero while running and then one selects Windows 7 to restore the laptop to its factory settings, but the same thing happens - it shows just the black screen with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe launched then startup repair, that does not solve the problem.
I don't have a disc of windows 7 to restore since I only bought the laptop 6 days ago and didn't have time to do a still. In addition, the laptop must have the restoration on his hard drive, but I can't access it to restore windows.
I'm just a home user understand all technical talk. Please can someone help me?
Hello
Sorry to hear you I have this problem. The fact is that the new laptops come with only HARD drive recovery image and not with recovery DVDs. What you can try now is to install the recovery image using HARD drive recovery facility.
If this works you need out of the box again.Please do it following the instructions in this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

Satellite C660-195 - wireless turns off
I have a Satellite C660-195, I've had an ongoing problem since the day I bought it and when I connect it to the network, it loses the connection to the internet. The wireless function will switch off completely.
Can someone advise the best course of action?
I put t know what WLan driver version you are using and I don t know what BIOS is preinstalled on your laptop, so I recommend you update the BIOS. Then download the latest driver for WiFi (Realtek RTL8188CE) for this device and update it.

Wireless connection dropping on the Satellite C660-195
Hello
I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660-195.
However, I have problems with the wireless connection. When I bought the laptop, it was full of all the annoying and resource hungry programs Toshiba install there. I have reinstalled Windows on the laptop, just install the drivers and software, I wanted and needed. I have problems with the wireless to stay connected. I can detect wireless networks and connect to that I want to be on, I have to add is a connection at home (I'm not fly: P).However, the continuous wireless connection down, becoming 'limited' as it says in system tray icon but then turns back on and the process just keeps spiraling on, on and off.
The wireless I connect works quite well using Xbox consoles, at first I thought it might be the router but after that a second thought if found the wireless on the Xbox is fine then I surely can't be the case? The laptop is Windows 7 64 bit
Thank you

Satellite C660 - 217 Wndows 7-149 gb data (D) used
I have restored my Toshiba Satellite C660-217, Wndows 7 laptop to the default value of the plant, but when I checked in the folder of the computer, the data (D) space (149 GB) serves all upward. When I checked the individual files in data (D), it does not add up to 149 GB.
I was wondering why this is and can I do?
Thank you.Hello
As I m not wrong not the laptop was equipped with a 320 GB HARD drive.
I guess it has been partitioned and three partitions are available (a very small partition is hidden and contains the files of Windows 7 repair)
The other two partitions, C and D are visible.The C partition has been formatted before installation of the system. The D partition is not affected if you use HARD drive recovery option. In case you have used the recovery disk, partition D should be formatted to and recovery files would be saved once again.

Satellite NB550D-109 - recovery partition
You just bought a NB550D-109.
Pretty happy with it, but I have a few questions so.
Is there a reason the recovery partition labled data, is half the size of the drive?This partition can be resized to give more storage without compromising the Recovery Wizard?
Are all the organic quality of Toshiba Utilities, or ones that I don't use can be uninstalled?
Or should I leave installed and just disable the startup?> Is there a reason that the recovery partition, labled data, is half the size of the drive?
To be honest I don't understand your question. Recovery partition is about 10 GB and recovery image is about 8 GB, so I put t understand what do you mean with half of the size of the disk.
> This partition can be resized to give more storage without compromising the Recovery Wizard?
At the moment I have not be able to give you the right answer. Open the disk management option, make a screen shot and expect to see the structure of the partitions. Then, I'll be able to discuss all the partitions.
For the moment, I can say only one thing: do not change anything. Change the installation of recovery of the structure HARD drive partitions can be cancelled.
> All the organic quality of Toshiba Utilities, or ones that I don't use can be uninstalled?
Some of them can be uninstalled but I put t know which of them you don t need.
Let us know which of them you want to remove the system.One last thing: don't make too many experiences before you created the recovery USB drive.
Please read Toshiba s s user manual and look for info on the installation of recovery and the creation of recovery USB disks. -
Re: Satellite L300 - Keep recovery partition when you use DBAN
Hello
I usually use DBAN to wipe my drives, however, I am interested in doing this on a laptop without destroying the recovery partition.
Essentially on a satellite L300 I want to erase the HDD using DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) (while maintaining the recovery partition), and then perform a clean installation of Windows 7. Is this possible or should I look at another alternative?
Thank you
I don t use DBAN and may not give you the right answer, but one thing I must say: create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator pre-installed and after doing this, you can do whatever you want.
If a problem occurs, you can install OS using these disks.
Please note: when you install using Win7 clean recovery of recorded disc image non-Toshiba makes no sense more because you will not be able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. For factory again, you must use Toshiba recovery DVD. -

Satellite P855 - need recovery partition properties
Hello
as I intend to migrate the HDD to ssd I resized the windows disc 8 and then the toshiba recovery partition after windows system 8, but it seems that this movement has really changed the properties/id of the partition.
Could you please tell me the properties the ID VALUE of the toshiba recovery partition so I can change it again?
The size of the partition, the content and everything is untoched, but when I try to open the recovery tool, it says that it cannot find the recovery partition.I know I shouldn't mess with partitioning, but I want to change the laptop on a faster drive.
Thank you very much.
Nicolas
Hi Nicolas
Now it's too late for anything. Structure of the partitions is changed and you cannot get it back to the original state.
Change SSD HARD drive is not the problem, but your mistake is that you don't l l create USB recovery media or recovery disk.
After changing the HDD to SSD, you could use this media to reinstall the OS. In this case new recovery partition is created automatically.What you need now is the recovery disc for a clean installation of image recovery.

Satellite Pro 6100 - how to change the date and time in the BIOS
Hello
I received a satellite pro 6100 that had not been used for some time. Windows does not work then he reinstalled with the good drive.
When I try and windows 'enable', I get the error 32777 and the laptop is unable to connect with the activation servers that a google leads to believe me that the date and time are incorrect in the bios.
I know that Press esc to access the bios but there is no option to change the date and time in there. I put the date / the correct time in windows, but this does not seem to synchronize with the bios. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, but this is not enough.
How can I change or update the time in the bios?
Thank you
Hello
I doubt this time and date setting BIOS does affect Windows activation time Windows doesn t affect it in my opinion. There must be another reason for this problem.
You can activate Windows by phone?Normally the date and time in the BIOS can change you if you mark the date or time, and then press on + or - to change this. Sometimes you have to press PageDown/to the top according to the model of BIOS or laptop.
Usually in the configuration of the BIOS you will find a brief info how changing the values.Check this box!

Satellite C660-1F1-Slow After recovering from DVD and fans constantly running
Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1F1 has an i3 processor and I recovered from the recovery disks. A few days later, everything is very slow and the Fans are always at full speed, even at idle and there is no dust when I opened it and I replaced the thermal paste.
All of the Suggestions.
Thank you
Hello
Try to optimize the OS version. Check the startup options and disable all applications that you don't need.
Make sure that all unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. Remove the system from all things, that you don't need.

Your computer has encountered a problem and needs to restart. Collection of information.What is this problem for?
My laptop is TOSHIBA Satellite C660 - 1 M 0 i3Is this a Windows problem?
Here is a message I received in Windows7forums on this subject but I don't understand what he means, can understand you for me please? e
* Re: Heeelp! Your computer ran into a problem! *
These screens generally include a sentence in the screen "fallen on problems." Usually something like Violation of Watchdog DPC (Deferred procedural call) and are often associated with a bad driver and or a power saving state not supported (sleep, hybrid sleep, hibernate, etc.,)
First of all, make sure that you have the latest drivers from your computer manufacturer and or the individual device manufacturer's Web site. Then consider whether this computer manufacturer includes any software that may be incompatible with Windows 8 CP or is somehow patented conflict with Windows 8 CP in energy saving power scheme options. You may need to experiment a little, maybe remove the proprietary tools or taste affecting your schema of high performance or even the options down or max.
The overview of consumption is more or less a new frontier for everyone here to work through this kind of problem is going to be informative and beneficial for all who read your thread, so please keep us posted as to how you are progressing with your current number.

Satellite C660-10 d - get my old printer and scanner to work
I would like to ask advice on how to get my HP 1020 Laserprinter and HP G2710 Scanner to work with my Toshiba Satellite C660 Windows 7 (Home Premium) 64-bit respectively?
The software of the printer (pilot) is not installed correctly while the Scanner does not charge same atal. I hope that it is ethical to mention other products on the forum of the society. Otherwise, my apologies.
Hello
I put t think that the problem is related to Toshiba
If your printer and scanner are old enough, I could imagine you don t get the drivers for Windows 7. You should check this page: P directly if the Windows 7 drivers are available or not.
If Yes, download and install it, it s the same as on other laptops and computers. If no driver available devices are not compatible with Windows 7.
