Satellite C855 - several Partitions running Windows 8.1

Hi all

I know the laptop has begun with the W8 and with 3 partitions (recovery, system & main C drive) and all were in good condition.

When I upgraded to W8.1 quite some time he created another recovery partition which in essence is very good but I had some problems with my laptop and recovery options Toshiba to 'Refresh' of my laptop and doing so created another partition but this time, it's 8GB!

Now, the update did not help so now, I finished a full 'Reset' of the computer laptop back to factory settings and waiting for the 2 additional partitions should be deleted as I well than that "Reset" option re-formatted the hard drive and but this return to a State of Out-of-the-Box.

Can I remove the 2 additional partitions? or should I chose a better option to wipe the laptop new?

Thanks - Jason

Can I remove the 2 additional partitions? or should I chose a better option to wipe the laptop new?

Question: did you create the recovery media (disk or USB flash stick) Toshiba in the past?
Before you try to remove all partitions on the HARD drive, I highly recommend creating recovery discs!

After that, you can try to delete these partitions or will it mark the laptop back to factory settings!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5305 application, running Windows 7.  I made a few cds of music there are chandeliers and that they will not play on this computer.  They do not play on my computer of husbands, good girls.  I think that they are MP3.  My cd drive is appearing and showing to work properly, but just read it as a blank CD.  To go with this... I am a legal transcriptionist and use a program called FTR player.  I downloaded some MP3 audio files and who won't play in my FTR player either, so I think it has something to do with. MP3 files, in the form of .wav files play in my FTR player very well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance, Jodi

    Red flag.  CCcleaner.  If you used to "clean" your registry database, which can cause problems.  CCcleaner is also a good program, but registry cleaners do not help and remove what they think are "unused" entries in the registry that can cause problems later.

    Try to download the Real Player and see if that corrects your problem, but if it is not, you may need to restore your computer to the factory settings by your user guide's instructions.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite C855-1TV - Webcam on Windows 8

    Hi, I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 1TV. It's my first (also first Toshiba product ever) and I am very happy with it. However, I have trouble with the webcam. I have Windows 8 and I'm just learning how to use (used to have XP so now things are very different for me).

    Windows 8 integrates the camera app (which as most of its applications, which I don't like) and the cam works fine when I use the app, but there must be another way to do the webcam and I can't understand it.

    Go to start > Search: "assistant camera" produces no results.
    The "Camera" search finds only the Windows application.

    Need help, please :(

    >... but there must be another way to do the webcam and I can't understand it.
    What do you mean exactly? Webcam can be used with different applications like Skype or camera application preinstalled.

    I put t understand what do you mean exactly with another way.

  • Can satellite P100-160 - I run Windows 7 on it?

    Can someone tell me if my P100-160 will run Windows 7 Home Edition successfully please?

    I ran the upgrade advisor victory, and he tells me that everything is ok except that I need an upgrade for - Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated Flash Media Controller.
    I don't know where to find this upgrade and my web searches have produced useful olein.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Theoretically you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

    The means of error message has something to do with the card reader. Maybe you need to update the driver because the current version isn't compatible with Windows 7. I think that it s worth a try!

    In the worst case, you can use the card on Windows 7 drive and you must use an external, but these card readers are cheap.

  • Satellite C855-141 - fan runs constantly

    Hello

    I have this problem, and its little weird laptop me... was on so the warranty repair and they sad they replaced the fan and it's fixed but notting...

    then, when I turn on the laptop, fan does not work, then work slow on normal use, but, when I open all game, fan is done at high speed and slows down quickly, all the time while I play, and when I leave the game fan turns on, and is not slaughter until I have disable laptop, even in normal restart Active stays... Please help

    MODEL: C855-141
    REF.: PSKCAE-00L00DY4

    Hello

    Fan activity depends on its portable use of my knowledge and everything is controlled by the fan which is stored in the BIOS table.
    The fan table contains information how the cooling module must operate in different situations.

    While gaming, the CPU and the GPU produce more heat and this need to be cooled. The cooling fan must spin faster.
    But I m wondering why the fan does not operate more slowly after the game has been closed.

    However, I recommend to unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery to hold down the power button (30 sec would be good enough)
    Then turn on the device, access the BIOS and set it to default, save the changes and restart the laptop.

    More I recommend you to check the windows power plan settings.
    In Settings Advanced it of possible to change the mode of cooling and the max CPU performance.

  • Satellite L500 - several problems with Windows 7

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite L500 with Vista as os. I upgraded to win 7 using the upgrade disc Toshiba that sent me. Since installing Windows 7, my laptop will freeze at any time.
    Ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything.

    My only option is to turn it off with the power button. I installed all the drivers available on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. In addition, since installing Win 7 the FN key does not work, the touchpad does not work and the eco utility will not work. I have checked all the drivers that I can find and reinstalled, or tried to update. I watched the mouse settings and the pointing device, and this explains his work.

    I think it is because I can not activate it with the FN - FN + F9 key. I cut the volume now with FN + ESC (couldn t a few days ago), I can use the FN key to sleep and lock the laptop, but the weak / brightness keys don't work. It seems that they only work up to F5.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    See you soon

    Hi joey,

    You will find all the information in the event viewer Windows on this gel?

    You should check the Device Manager for unknown devices or yellow exclamation. Maybe it's a driver of s problem.

    In regards to the FN keys, you need to install Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. They are required for the FN keys and then you are able to enable/disable the touchpad (FN + F9).

    Last but not least check Toshiba page for a version of Windows 7 Eco Utility.

  • What is the purpose of the 100 MB Partition in Windows 7? How to create several Partitions in Windows 7?

    When I tried to install Windows 7, a named system reserved partition will be created, what is its use?
    If I re install Windows 7 without changing the partitions, the partition of 100 MB will be visible, how to hide?
    If I upgrade to Windows 7 Windows XP, this partition will not be created, is that it causes a low yield?
    During the installation of Windows 7 on a new computer, off-system reserved, only 3 new partitions will be created, how to avoid this, because I use Linux and Windows, so I need 7 partitions to create.

    Could someone please help

    This is for the Windows recovery environment (WinRE), also supplied with Windows Vista, only it has been available from the Windows Vista installation disc only, although some manufacturers make available on a partition separated on their factory facilities. In Windows 7, this feature is installed on all computers and is stored in the 200 MB partition if you are installing using a single partition scheme. However, if you are installing to a drive that has more than one partition, the recovery environment is stored in a folder at the root of your installation disc, so if you install to a partition with a label of C:\ she will be C:\Recovery.

    If I re install Windows 7 without changing the partitions, the partition of 100 MB will be visible, how to hide?

    Yes, it can be removed and by default it is hidden.

    If I upgrade to Windows 7 Windows XP, this partition will not be created, is that it causes a low yield?

    If you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows 7, the recovery environment is stored in a folder in the root of your installation disc, so if you install to a partition with a label of C:\ she will be C:\Recovery.

    During the installation of Windows 7 on a new computer, off-system reserved, only 3 new partitions will be created, how to avoid this, because I use Linux and Windows, so I need 7 partitions to create.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite C855-10Z to run better games

    So, I enjoy playing games, but with only 4 GB of Ram and a card Intel(r) HD Graphics 3000... it becomes difficult.

    The maximum amount of RAM my computer can hold is 8 GB. My understanding is that the graphics card I have only has 64 MB of video memory dedicated and then seeps out of the norm of the RAM, so increase the RAM would make the video card better, right?

    I'm quite lost on if it works or not, pay £60 for the 8 GB of ram for the video card to just not be able to manage all the games is not worth, so I'd appreciate any help. :)

    At first, I must say that your machine is not the best game machine with the best hardware platform (GPU). In my opinion your Satellite C is typical machine of mid range designed for everyday activities.

    You're right about the use of the RAM. With more RAM the GPU will be use more memory for video, but you shouldn't expect a few superior graphics performance after upgrade of RAM.

    As you have already written your machine can handle with 8 GB of RAM. At the present time, that he should have a good memory on the inside, so I guess that the second memory slot is empty.
    Remove the cover and you will see what it looks like as a memory inside. You can add the second 4 GB of RAM, but please use the same memory module with PA3918U-1M4G part number.

  • Satellite A100 - can it run Windows 64 bit (XP or Vista)?

    I know that the processors are compatible EM64T, but, as Intel says:

    "Intel® EM64T requires a computer with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, drivers of devices and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit mode) without a BIOS compatible Intel EM64T. Performance can vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See http://www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system provider for more information. »

    So, are the Toshiba BIOS and chipset, active EM64T?

    Thanks for the comments/replies.

    Hello

    I read in this forum on the issues of 64-bit Vista.
    It seems that all users were able to install the Vista 64 bit OS on Toshiba laptop computer, but they were not able to find 64-bit drivers.

    In fact, the Toshiba provides all 64-bit drivers. for Vista or XP.
    Why, because Toshiba laptops were not delivered with any 64 bit OS.

  • Toshiba Satellite C665D-S5048 computer laptop Windows 7 key COA faded

    Hello

    My Windows 7 key is dimmed on my computer Toshiba laptop model Satellite C655D-S5048 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium OA.

    My problem is my hard drive is completely broke down on me which means that the computer no longer detects it, and I'll get a new hard drive. Is there a way for me to use a copy of retail of Windows 7 friends to install my version if it's Windows 7 Home Premium, and would it still work if the product key has already been used on the computer before?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • Satellite c855 - VGA port suddenly does not work

    Hi people

    I have the toshiba satellite-c855 - 17 c. Windows 7.
    Usually, I work on my laptop and monitor, which I use by plugging the vga cable. I use this set to the top for more than a year and never had any problems.

    Now, nothing happens when I plug in the cable. I checked with another laptop and the screen appears on the monitor - it seems that the problem is with my laptop.

    Do you have any idea why this has happened and the solution to this problem?

  • New hard disk dive on Satellite C855-29N

    Hello

    I have a breakdown of total hard drive with my laptop Satellite C855 - 29N 64-bit Windows. I ordered a new hard drive for replacement. My problem is that although I did back up disks of my damaged disk before it failed, I fear that these disks will not work for the new hard drive.

    I would appreciate your advice on what I need to do to reinstall the operating system and any contact: e-mail, phone numbers or any other useful tips.

    Thank you very much.

    Why not? Recovery media created has no limitation. Many people Exchange original HDD with the most recent or even SSDS. I did the same thing and I installed after Exchange, original image of recovery without any problem.

    Just, without panic. ;)

    Exchange HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install the recovery image using recovery media created.
    If please post comments and do not hesitate to ask if you need help.
