Satellite L350: What is the best choice: disk to reinstall or repair of F8?

Hello
I have a fairly new Satellite L350 (5 months). I recently discovered a Trojan horse attached to program files for the AVG software. I got rid of the Trojan horse, done a restore to date before loading AVG in the hope that my system would return to normal. He still continues to be slow, Explorer keeps locking up and all kinds of weird things continue to happen! Ouch.
I have the recovery and the Application CD that came with my laptop. Do I use the recovery CD or should I try to fix everything using the F8 option? And if I use the recovery CD which files will I lose, normally? I tried to get a list of the applications that are on this drive, but couldn't find any info?

I spent most of the day save all my files on disk. I'm going to lose some paid downloaded programs I am willing to sacrifice, if I can get my computer love me once again!

Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you

> Do I have to use the recovery CD or should I try to fix everything using the F8 option? And if I use the recovery CD which files will I lose, normally?

I advise to use the recovery disk because the recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop to the factory setting.
If you have some viruses on HARD drive then the format of HARD drive can be the best option in order to eliminate all viruses and Trojans.

  • Satellite U200: What's the best way to use a battery?

    Sorry to ask a stupid question but the U200 is my first laptop ever. OK, I already did what most PC magazines will tell you, that is to say completely charge the battery then run until the process of vacuum and then repeat two or three times, it's supposed to get all the cells in the battery operation.

    Now, what is the best thing to do, exercise like that or do I have to wait until the battery is half empty or so & then connect the charger?
    I think that it is not good to run the laptop with a full battery & charger connected, until guy do you say when you want to use your laptop for 6 hours or more?

    Hello

    > believe that it is not good to run the laptop with a full battery & charger permanently connected.

    Well, the new generation of portable and battery allows to use the battery and the power adapter at the same time.
    There are no bad effect memory with batteries at the beginning!

    So my laptop is connected to the power supply and the battery is still connected.
    It has no negative influence on the performance of the battery. But you should know that there is a limit of battery charge.
    After that all 500times completely procedures of load and discharge, the battery will slowly discharge performance. This is nothing unusual.

    PS: Note: in the instructions you will find useful tips and information about how to manage the battery!

  • Satellite U405 - what is the best way to battery life increases

    Hello world!

    I searched for it a little and everything I could find are contradictory answers and some confusing instructions... :)
    Even the PDF for my U405 has some conflicting advice (it is recommended to completely discharge or not?)

    I'm trying not to remove it and store it with a charge of 40% in a situation of low temperature (?) because I also trust him as a UPS (power cuts are common to sleep).

    So, in short, what is the best way to prolong my life from the battery to its maximum? Should I fully discharge once a month or only to half way through? Should he ever be completely loaded, or which is actually a good thing?

    Thanks in advance for any wisdom that anyone can offer on that!

    David

    The best way would be to put it out of the laptop, but you already said, you don't do that.
    So I say to completely discharge the battery from time to time and load it to the maximum.

    That's all I can tell you right now, but don't know how much it will increase the battery life.

    Hey Buddy,

    I assume you mean Satellite L505 and Qosmio X 505? Right?

    Well, the books are completely different. Qosmio X 505 is portable high-performance gaming and a large part expensive because it s equipped with the best and newest equipment.

    Satellite L505 is a cheap model with other hardware, it of not designed for the game but ideal for office, Internet, etc.

    It s your needs: If you have need for games, you should buy the Qosmio.

    Hello

    You simply take a look in the manual of the user that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    On my laptop, the operating manual has been preloaded with too, and I could find all the necessary information concerning the upgrade of RAM.

    The manual says you can use PC2-5300 modules if the A300 would support the RS690M/PM965/GM965 chipsets. But if the laptop is equipped with Intel GL960 chipset, so you can only use the PC2-4200 modules.

    Using the Intel GL960 chipset you can extend the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB RAM)

    See you soon

  • Satellite A500 or L500 - what is the best?

    Hoping someone can give a preview with me. I'm going to buy a new computer and other than Harmon Kardon speakers, I don't seem to see a huge difference between the L500 and the A500 series. To be more precise, these are models I look. As you can see, they differ in the price a bit, so what's the story? Is there a huge difference in the other than speakers system?

    [http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptop-model.jsp?family=Satellite&model=L500] [http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptop-model.jsp?family=Satellite&model=A500]

    And Yes, I'm aware of all the customization options, but even if they have the same EXACT features, this series is even more expensive. Why?

    A series of satellite is definitely best choice. If you compare the design, you'll notice that a series has better design and noble air.
    All of Satellite phones do not have the same hardware platform and before buy you one pick up the info on all the models available in your country.

    If you buy A Satellite it will be the right choice for you.

    BTW: has speakers harman/kardon L500? ;)

  • Satellite S2410-504: what is the best battery?

    Hi all

    I'm a complete noob to this, but hope someone can help out me. I have a Toshiba Satellite, but I don't know which model - it says on the back that is s2410-504. in any case, I've had it for about 3 years and I think the battery is kaput, as it only stays on for about 15 minutes so disconnected from the sector, even when fully charged.

    The battery life has always been a bit short. What is the best battery I can get for my laptop and how much time it will last on energy saving option?

    Hi Cedric,

    The best battery for your laptop will be that which corresponds to the specification of Toshiba. Please check the following URL: -.

    Please check the part number on the back of your current battery for good compatibility.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: what is the best way to extend our battery

    Hi there everyone,

    I hope you are all good, I kindly need to know what is the best way by which we can extend the battery from our PC, I had a friend who apparently frustrated because his laptop battery is almost dead then that PC disconnected electricity; It gives him only five minutes and the beep starts.

    I think she always used his laptop plugged into the electricity, not frequent unloading / loading the battery and yet, I really appreciate it if you guys out there (blessed) could help me maintain my and his of (she bought a new battery lol) batteries.

    Note: My Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 gives me 2.45 minutes after 4 months and I'm happy with that, I turn on my laptop disconnected to power (releases) often, but I feel that I can't explain or help others to look after your laptop battery.
    Thanks a million in advance

    Why we can not find the information seen on the Toshiba site maintenance?
    Maybe we didn't get!

    Hello

    I think you're right research you didn t on the Toshiba page quite long ;)

    I have consulted the European Toshiba support page and selected in the troubleshooting category option-> Solutions to common problems.

    There I found the battery category, and then I found this article:

    * + How to configure my computer for optimal use of battery? + *
    http://www.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD5400Z60005R01.htm

    It looks like an old FAQ document in any case the fact is that all batteries lose own performance after several times several years ago, it is advisable to remove the battery from the laptop to extend the battery life. This is not necessary with the new battery and generation of laptops.

    However, many people remove the battery if the laptop works on sector (power adapter connected) This prevents the battery of standing of the charge and discharge.

    What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

    RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
    Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
    no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
    companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
    because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
    more seamlessly.

    Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
    what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
    original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
    your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
    also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

  • What is the best way to backup of virtual machines on a standalone ESX with the data store local

    Hello

    I want to save the virtual machines on a host ESX autonomous. and all of these virtual machines is the local data store.  What is the best way to save these virtual machines in this situation?

    And probably we don't provision VTL on the local data center, so it is possible to use VCB to backup? And VCB is a good choice compared to the traditional method that installs the backup client in each virtual machine?   Because I think that in this situation with the data store local, it cannot not reduced the load on ESX hosts and network overhead can be avoided.

    Thank you!

    LAN

    > 1. VCB usable remote tape library? I mean it's not local library and uses the tape library to another network data center.

    VCB is completely unrelated to the tape library, it is a framework, not a backup solution. If your standard backup software can work with the remote tape library you can try it to ungrateful with VCB.

    > 2. what the difference bwteen hot - added NBD and modes if there is that an ESX host with store data local and want to use a virtual machine like VCB proxy? I think that they are the same: the VCB proxy read data through the I/O of the ESX host stack in this situation.

    NBD works on network and the backup traffic goes through the service console connection. Hot add uses special machine for assistance to connect vmdk to and uses of e/s disk stack instead of e/s network.

    > 3. Veeam Backup is free software?

    No, it isn't.

  • HP Z400s under spec for HD in CS4 edition. What is the best way to go?

    Hi all

    I recently bought the three HP Z400 workstations for editing XDCAM EX 1080i (HQ) a timeline in Premiere CS4. It's a very hasty and ill-informed purchase. Unfortunately I only came across the Adobe forum after that I ran into trouble with 1 and 2 workstations. After reading a lot of useful messages, it is quite obvious that new two of my machines have the ability to edit full HD 1080i chronologies stably.

    Before I describe my problems, I'll describe my system specs:

    Z400 1 workstation

    Windows XP 32-bit
    Xeon W3505
    3 GB RAM
    GPU: Quadro FX 1800
    C: 500 GB OS/programs
    D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

    Z400 Workstation 2

    Windows XP 32-bit
    Xeon W3520
    3 GB RAM
    GPU: Quadro FX 3800
    C: 500 GB OS/programs
    D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

    Z400 Workstation 3 (this machine works well and has not had stability problems)

    Windows Vista 64-bit
    Xeon W3540
    8 GB RAM
    GPU: Quadro FX 3800
    C: 500 GB OS/programs
    D: 2 x 500 GB Raid 0 zero

    While I was able to edit clips XDCAM EX 1080i HQ on all these systems, work stations 1 and 2 are very unstable, crashing regularly, especially when rendered.

    I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology, so after reading through the many excellent posts here, I'm still not entirely sure which is the best way forward for me to put jobs 1 and 2 to the height. It is clear on reading these posts that I more capitalized on GPU cards, underestimated the importance of the RAM and committed a fundamental error of my choice of operating system:

    • In the spirit of the community - are the specs for Workstation 3 enough for stable HD editing?
    • What is the best solution with 1 and 2 workstations? Reader threads I guess I upgraded Vista 64 bit OS and spend at least 6 GB of RAM - it would be enough? If this is not the case, what do you suggest? In addition, the existing processors (w3505 and w3520) are quite fleshy for work?
    • And this could take liberties... all topics widely discussed on this forum; I'm having trouble getting my head around storage. What is the best configuration that I do with my current gear (z400 motherboard) for HD editing (including adding additional disks)?

    Thanks in advance... I'm not much of a techie, so all the words of wisdom are like gold dust.

    See you soon,.

    James

    Your CPU 3505 is only a dual core chip.  Certainly working on upgrading the CPU on a quad core.  I don't know if HP offers capabilities overclocking on this motherboard single processor.  If so, you could try prejudice overclocking guide lines since it is structurally almost identical to the i7-920.

    To the power of the processor which is the most important point for the creation, you can use one of these processors W3520 / W3540 / W3570 (2.66 to 3.20 GHz, 8 MB L2 cache) If you prefer do not overclock or if HP didn't you provided the functionality in the BIOS.

    Certainly wait (I think that it is the date) October 22 to Win 7 64 bit OS it is certainly faster than Vista 64.

    Incidentally, I don't know if you have ordered these units, but it may be useful to call HP and see if you are eligible for a free upgrade to Win 7.

    Maybe this blog Capterra article can help you with choices for an alternative to MS Project for Macs.

    However, what I would recommend is to run Windows under BootCamp or a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMware and then, install a version of Windows from MS Project to be entirely compatible with what your company uses.
