Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 and support for virtualization

Hello

I am (was to) buy a Toshiba Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 (from amazon.co.uk).
The specifications look ideal for me, but at the last moment, I thought to check if VT - x extensions are supported.

I know that the processor supports extensions (as detailed here: [http://ark.intel.com/products/71465/]), but I know also that the extensions are often not enabled (or there is no option in the BIOS to enable them).

The expression "Virtualization Technology" (which is present on other pages of the specification) is clearly absent from the plug laptop here: [http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c870-1h2/].
I saw some comments that suggest the Satellite * Pro * series usually provides the support for virtualization, but it always seems to be missing on many current models of Pro's specifications.

I don't know why the C870 would not support VT - x, when we know that his material, but the specifications indicate that this is the case. On the other hand, I found no references to people complaining about the lack of VT - x support.

So my question is, the Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 actually does support VT - x, or not?
(and if not, because it takes just a very small piece of code BIOS, why not?)

Thank you

> The same issue applies. These models are supported virtualization

VT support is always depends on the CPU built in Notepad. But you mentioned it in the first post.
According to the page of the Ark from Intel, the Intel Pentium 2020 M processor supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT - x)

  • Satellite P100 series with core2duo - no support for virtualization?

    Hello
    my brand new laptop P100-324 with core 2 duo T7400 has no virtualization support - however, it was clearly written in Tech spec.
    It was not cheap at all, so I don't think that the sheet will lie!

    It's serious reflection.
    I ask the representatives of toshiba to lose a word or two here in this topic and when new BIOS on, which will allow the Intel VT.

    If it will be - as I hope! I'm sure that cpu can handle VT (indicated in the documents of cpu Intel laptop, and cpu is VT flags etc.), but the VT is just disabled by default in the BIOS and there is nothing to do.

    Hello

    Could you please put the link to the page that says that this laptop model supports the VT technology?
    It would be very interesting

    Usually, virtualization can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS. If the BIOS don't provide that option then it s a clear case of the VT can be not activated

    As you probably know Toshiba offer a wide range of portable models and offers different models P100.
    Maybe some media VT units and some don t.

  • Abandoned Downlaods and support for Firefox 4.0 - 5.0. Why?

    Why Mozilla interrupted downloads and support for latest versions prior to 8.0? Imagine my surprise when 8.0 was automatically installed, and found out that not only the Google toolbar was disabled, but other plug-ins and extensions were more consistent. To restore my previous settings of the browser, I had to downgrade way back to 3.6.24 version - and then also had to find compatible themes prior to use! You people really know how to throw the users in free fall! I didn't even know there was a new version. And how can I disable the automatic updates?

    You can actually return to the 7.0.1 version (which I assume you had). I know many users who have done and is happier with Firefox 7. However, because Firefox 8 took care of some safety and security vulnerabilities, compared to its predecessor, they recommend to have later.

    Personally, I've been happier with Firefox 7 so, but I'm still using Firefox 8 so I can try to resolve some problems and to report. My main problem with Firefox 8 is that it is slower on many sites, including my Hotmail email.

    In any case, fear I digress from the subject, I compiled a list of old versions of Firefox official on this Review of Firefox web page allowing you to download Firefox 7.0.1.

  • Drive cable HARD and support for M3800

    Hello

    I bought M3800 no internal HARD drive, but I want to add additional HARD disk now. Buy cable HDD and support for M3800 or can I use any other?

    Thank you

    Yes indeed.  I ordered the 21YWY of HARD-drive bracket and drive HARD interposer cable DG95V from Dell, to buy a battery from eBay 61WH (Dell has not tapped into it at the time...) and an EVO Samsung 1 TB SSD drive from Amazon.  It's easy to install (even if you need a very small torx scree 3 to remove the bottom cover) and works like a charm.

  • Missing satellite C870 - 11G - "SM BUS controller driver" for Win 7 64 bit

    Good afternoon

    After extensive research of the forums, I was unable to find a solution so far.

    A few months ago, after the demise of his previous Satellite, my friend has acquired a Satellite C870 - 11G on Windows 7 (64-bit).

    She acquire the machine online from PC World, and after that make the updates of windows put in place using the Zonealarm free firewall & 2013 AVG antivirus free. We have installed the Microsoft Office 365 and the bundled drivers for HP Deskjet F4180 sound.

    Initially, everything went very well, but a month ago, the machine does not recognize the printer.

    After the troubleshooting thing, the machine has reported a "SM BUS controller driver" as being missing.

    "Search etc, after much net more faffing autour with the restoration of the system", I could not yet set and so went to the "nuclear" option i.e. I backed up all its data and doing a complete reset of the recovery partition.

    We have gradually been put back together, reload its data, re-installing of ZoneAlarm and AVG, Picassa & Office 365. Yesterday I went to re - install printer drivers, but before doing so checked Device Manager to see that the error "SM BUS controller driver is missing" was. Grrrrr...

    I tried to use system restore to return point of restoration of a restore point but that too now fails every time with error (0x80070005).

    Before we go again nuclear, anyone has any ideas please...?

    Best regards & thanks in advance.

    Larry

    Try please reinstall the chipset driver. I found this for your machine and you can download it here.

    Test it please and post comments.

  • Satellite L650-111 - where is the support for the page?

    Hello

    I bought this computer a month ago and I thought that I could check the support page for this laptop for the new updates. I clicked on the link to Toshiba Tempro (support for my PC or something like that) and to opening my browser there was an error saying that my product have not been found. So I typed my serial code in and also tried the automatic recognition of the system, which came with the same error.
    Even on this list 'find your laptop manually' I saw not only my role model, but the entire series (L650) wasn't there. Is this in any way related to the problem that I recently ("Toshiba Service Station has stopped working")?

    Please also explain what to do in this case. I tried to uninstall manually and re-setup of the station but the problem persists.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    You should check this page:

    Then choose the following options:
    Laptop > Satellite > Satellite L Series > Satellite L650 > PSK1JE

    On this page you can find all the updates for it. :)

    Otherwise I agree with Quad: never touch a running system! ;)

  • Can we still use NOT_SUPPORTED and supported for any request method?

    Hi all

    Because the database selection didn't need a transaction (Please correct me if that's wrong), define the level of transaction "NOT supported" or "Supported" for all of these methods that question only something database?

    Maybe these methods will be called in other in a transaction, so "NEVER" cannot be used.

    My question is: is there a reason to get a transaction for methods without any insert/update of database?

    Say there are three beans as below:

    @Stateless
    @TransactionManagement (TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)
    / public class InsertBean implements {Insert}
    @Override
    @TransactionAttribute (TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
    {} public void createUsers (< user > list of users)
    INSERT INTO user WHERE...
    }
    }

    @Stateless
    @TransactionManagement (TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)
    / public class QueryBean implements Query {}
    @Override
    @TransactionAttribute (TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED)
    public int getUserNumber() {}
    SELECT COUNT (*) FROM user
    }
    }

    @Stateless
    @TransactionManagement (TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)
    / public class UpdateBean implements {update
    @Override
    @TransactionAttribute (TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
    {} public void updateUsers (list < user > users)
    UPDATE user SET logindate = xxx WHERE...
    }
    }

    Insert and update requires a transaction and not the query. If there is a method of bean called as:

    InsertBean.createUsers (users);
    int n = QueryBean.getUserNumber ();
    UpdateBean.updateUsers (users);

    In this case, that the level of transactions for getUserNumber() request method must not be 'NEVER', only 'SUPPORTED' or 'NOT_SUPPROTED' is reasonable. But 'NOT_SUPPORTED' is more effective. So can I use level 'NOT_SUPPORTED' for all methods of query?

    If sometimes the query method must be in a transaction could you share?

    Thanks in advance.

    When the query is running for a long time and you who call inside the transaction, the transaction may time out.
    In this case you would go non-supported, so that this transaction manager can take the action when the method
    is called within a transaction. Otherwise it does not really matter.

  • Re: Satellite R630-13U and support for Win 7 32-bit professional

    Hi guys,.

    I just bought a Satellite R630-13U pre-loaded with OEM Windows 7 Home 64 bit, but I had problems to launch our database application causes it does support 32 bit operating system. So, I intend to change the operating system to Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. However, I was really doubtful if this laptop supports the 32 bit OS.
    So is - this compatible model for 32 bit OS? and also, if I changed and format of the preloaded operating system does it void the warranty?

    Your advice before I change anything is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Reference No.. PT31LE-00V012AR

    At first, I must say that you can install anything you want on your laptop. It has nothing to do with security. Before you install any other OS create recovery DVDs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. One day, when you want to reuse original OS, you can use this disk to install Win7 64 bit OS.

    You can install OS 32-bit without problem ay but always is he that Toshiba doesn't offer drivers for Win7 32 bit, but I think that it is possible to find most of the drivers.

    Create recovery DVDs and install the 32-bit version. Let Win7 search all the important factors. If some of them are missing please let us know. We can try to help you find more important drivers.

  • Support for virtualization on Satellite C855

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 29N. I am trying to run the virtualization on it, but running on the following questions:

    VMware Player;
    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
    This host is not compatible Intel VT - x.

    On the attempt of activation of Microsoft Hyper-V platform:
    Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor has no virtualization required capabilities.

    The BIOS settings for the virtualization technology configured only for VT - x (another option is "off").

    Even if the laptop was advertised as an i3 - 2350 m, it actually comes with an Intel Pentium B960, which some "Googling" suggests that he does not support VT

    I hope someone can tell me if I have a chance of running VMware or Hyper-V on this laptop I have a small window in which return it if it proves inadequate.

    See you soon

    AFAIK all you can do is change the settings in the BIOS and use available options. No more than that.

  • Compatibility and Support for Netflix instant play in Windows 7?

    I know it's all shiny and new and everyone works on everything, but I just got the phone with Netflix and they gave me the impression that this new OS is essentially a surprise.

    Ive tried spoofing mode compatibility, and Ive tried DLing the Silverlight player, etc, etc. And much to my regret, even if the new VISTA Media Center joined Netflix... no update for Win 7 RC?

    /sadface.

    There is no plan to have the Windows 7 RC WMC to support Netflix as the final version will be released at the end of this year. You can also expect the problem with WMP 12 to settle here there as well.

  • Satellite C870 - 1 K 1 and replacing hard drive

    Hello

    I would like to replace the hard drive of wonderful this notebook with a hard disk of 500 GB 750.
    How should I proceed with the Windows installed on the original hard drive, the migration to the new.
    I do not have a CD ROM of Windows 8, was not included when I bought the laptop

    Thanks for your help and suggestions...
    Greetings

    Lambert (Belgium)

    If you use your laptop with an original operating system preinstalled, you can create recovery media using pre-installed recovery media creator tool. After replacing HARD drive, you can use this media and reinstall the original recovery image.

    After that your laptop will again have to factory settings.
