  Hello

  Of course, it is possible
  You can do it in disk management.

  Just right click on my computer--> Manage
  Here, choose disk management.

  Now, you need to remove the E partition. Then the free space can be added to the C partition.

  But note; until you do this, create the recovery disk (if you didn t have this done in the past.)

• Satellite Pro A40 - how to turn on wireless?

  Hello

  I recently formatted and installed Windows XP Professional on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
  But I can't understand how to activate Wifi on the computer.

  When I press FN + F8, nothing happens. All the drivers are installed properly, no errors appear in the Device Manager in Windows. Do I have to install specific drivers, like I used to use the other FN keys (I needed to install common Modules)?

  I also have a (Linksys Wireless - G WPC54G) PCMCIA card. When I put the card in the laptop, the power led flashes once, but also nothing happens. This card is not compatible with this laptop?

  Please can you give me some advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Nothing

  Hey,.

  What is the card listed WLAN correctly in Device Manager? Or you see yellow exclamation points or unknown devices?

  Maybe you should try to update the WLAN driver. On the Toshiba site, you can find the most recent version.

  You should also tell us what happens if you search for your WLAN router. The WIFI connection is displayed in network connections?

  Have you checked if the hardware switch wireless on the front of the laptop is on?

  You have yellow exclamation points?
  The wireless adapter is recognized?

  Hello

  I use Satellite L40 - 18Z but I can not turn on Wifi.

  I am very sure that peripheral lla is installed another property and I tried a few ways to turn on the Wifi device but never turned on. Of course, never caught the signal. Rooter has no problem either.

  Manager says Deveice peripheral island works another property. And the driver is correctly installed. But I can't turn on parameter of network or windows Mobility Center.

  It's very embarrassing to write something like that, but I need your help.

  PS This is the first time that I post on this thread, but who answers? Toshiba support team?

  Thank you

  Hello
  You said, did you check if the device is properly installed in Device Manager. Is there a red X on the wlan module in the list? And he must have this name: RTL8187B.

  There are several ways to enable the wlan on your laptop. One, is the hardware switch of your laptop, the other thing you can try is a combination of FN to FN + F8.
  You can control if the WiFi is working when you see the symbol of the LED is on or not.

  Finally, it is a forum for user to user here.

• Satellite L40 - 18Z: warnings of Tempo that 75% of the memory has been used

  My dad recently bought a satellite L40 - 18z.

  Tempo began to give warnings that 75% of the memory has been used.
  When I checked there a 74 GB HDD with 3 partitions top - 1.46 GB (which I assume is the recovery partition), GB 37.26 labeled 'Vista', containing the OS and all the rest, and finally Go 35.80 labeled 'Data' which is empty.

  The partition 'Data' is necessary?

  Or do I have to move all of the documents on this partition, and if so why not been put there by default?

  My father is not very computer and I find it strange that the hard drive is not that way. It could very easily write the Vista partition and thought it was! And ended up paying someone to put a bigger HDD in or sorting.

  It seems to be no mention of partition 'Data' in the documentation or advice on how to use it.

  > Is the partition 'Data' necessary?
  Well, you can use this partition for data storage.
  I mean you don t need to store files such as mp3, jpg, etc. on the system partition, but on this partition.

• Installing WXP on Satellite L40 - 18Z

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop: SATELLITE L40 - 18Z, MODEL No. PSL48E. One of their salesmen dim wit forgot to mention that the warranty expires once you remove the VISTA machine.

  I make music and need for XP as no software has caught with VISTA yet.

  Someone out there has done this on this machine? It works if you download all the drivers for the model of the toshibas download section? When you have to install the drivers and through what media bring you on the machine? Do yuou should reformat the hard drive at all prior to xp?

  I'm not clued by all means on this side of things for any help/advice would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  That s is not true.
  If you want, you can install the XP. That will not affect the warranty!

  If you want to install the Xp you simply boot from the XP CD.
  Then, you will need to include the SATA (Intel Storage Manager) driver using the F6 key during the installation procedure.

  All or all the drivers needed XP, you should find on the page of the pilot!

  See you soon

• Satellite L40 - 18z - what motherboard can use

  Hello

  my laptop has a motherboard very defective toshiba satellite L40 - 18z model no PSL48E-033008EN.
  My question is; are there other phones I could use to replace my motherboard with.

  I'm looking on ebay etc for a laptop of donors but they are few and far between, where the question on the search for another brand/model that would suit.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Laptop motherboards are always different so that there is not a lot of opportunities.
  You must use a motherboard that has been developed for Satellite L40 / Pro L40 series.

  But note; new motherboard is one expensive laptop parts maybe that it s better to buy a second hand instead of the new motherboard unit. I think it would be a less costly solution

• How to turn on wireless capability.

  Error message: wireless capability is turned off

  Kindly let me know how to turn on wireless capability.

  If it's a laptop, check for a physical switch either at the front or the side of the chassis to activate the wireless feature.

  Some laptops use embedded keys to activate the wireless feature, so you need to press Fn + a function key (F1, F2, F3) possible.

  See the manual that came with your computer for further instructions.
