Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

• How can satellite P500-024 - I do a new partition with full disk space?

  Hello

  I just bought the Satellite P500-024 and it came with 640 GB HARD drive.

  I just found when clicking on * my computer * which is the HARD drive is cut to the drive C: and D: drive. How can I add the D drive half of the HARD drive on the C: drive of priority so there because I then a full accese 640GO HDD in a chase without cutting 50-50?

  The reason why I ask this is because I noticed when I turn on the laptop it takes ages and maybe a bit slower due to the fact that it is half of the hard drive on drive C. So I want to know how it is easy to add them together into one so that I can get fast and pure to my new Satellite P500-024 performance.

  Thank you.

  Hi tagvic!

  First of all I must say that the two partitions have nothing to do with the slow start procedure on your laptop. Your laptop will be no faster if I you have only one partition, made it s! In addition, the second partition is required for Toshiba HDD recovery option. You know about it?

  HARD drive recovery option is really nice. You can restore factory in a few minutes. For it pour l' utiliser use go from the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then, you can select this option and follow the instructions on the screen. The first partition will be deleted, and after that it will have installed an image of factory settings. This means that you return to the same state that you started the laptop, the first time. The operating system preinstalled with already all the drivers and tools are installed.

  In my view, there is another reason for the slow start to the top. You should try to remove Toshiba Tempro. On my computer it causes a slow start too, and after removing the laptop started much faster.
  I can also recommend you to clean the system using CCleaner and defragment the HARD drive. Removal of startup programs folder that you don't need and try another program like AntiVir AntiVirus.

  I hope I could help a bit.

• Satellite A100 - 065 (PSAANA) - can I spend it with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello Forum!

  I want to upgrade to a hard disk of 120 GB (Hitachi) to a 500 GB (Western Digital). I don't know if this A100 supports SATA2.

  I think it's to do with the hard disk controllers that are on the motherboard. This is information I don't think (using the pc Wizard). I am very happy to use a SATA drive, if it is the one which is compatible, but if it supports SATA 2, then obviously I would install a because they are 3GB of bandwidth instead of 1.5 GB as SATA.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated that my hard drive is full.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can use a SATA2 HDD without problems. These discs hard are compatible downgrade to the old SATA1 standard, so you can use 500 GB HARD drive, as you suggested.
  But don t forget it will not work with SATA1 speeds, but this should not be a problem normally.

  So have fun with the new HARD drive! ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite L40: Can I remove battery while working with AC adapter

  Could someone tell me what I need to do?

  I use laptop mainly on the sector and someone told me to get out batt.
  Is it true

  see you soon
  Doug

  Greetings
  It is generally recommended when a laptop is used mainly on the sector that the battery is removed. Excessive load is not too good for the battery. I know that there are intelligent load circuits with modern laptops, but I am a bit of a Luddite in this matter and do not trust them completely.
  Of course, it is important that you remember then replace the battery when portability is necessary...

• Install old HDD to the pc with the new HARD drive and operating system different?

  Hi, I recently ripped my old laptop that no longer works, after buying a newer laptop 4 years ago. The new laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed while the old machine had Windows Vista installed. I want to put the old HDD in my new machine to extract some files that I want to keep and possibly use this particular drive as a disc of extra storage without having to turn it into a portable device. Would that work or would I meet problems with him? It would be just a plug & play this sort of thing (as the old HDD already has an operating system installed) or the old drive (vista) would cause the new drive (win7) fails at startup?

  And sorry if this has already been covered. I searched through the questions asked previously and has not really found a similar job.

  You can use your old drive, but you should check that the "Boot order" is the most recent Player listed before the old drive. If need be exit and save your BIOS boot becomes.

  Next

  After you have started since the new drive, you may need to take ownership of the files you need to copy.

  To take ownership of a file or folder

  1. open Windows Explorer and locate the file or folder you want to take charge.
  2. right click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.
  3. click on advanced and then click the owner tab.
  4. click on edit and then do one of the following:
  To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups and enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group and then click OK.

  To change the owner to a user or a group is listed in the change owner to box, click the new owner.

  5. (optional) to change the owner of all subcontainers / folders and objects in the tree view, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects check box.

  Then use 'Disk management' to delete all existing partitions and reformat the old drive.

• Re: Satellite A300-234 - product key does not work with another disk the

  Broke the new Satellite A300-234, flied Windows Vista. I did not the backup copy of the system. At the system from a disk of another laptop Toshiba A200-23d.

  The key away. What should do?

  Hello

  The point is that the product key from the underside of the laptop can t be used with another drive in Windows. It s just for the preinstalled OEM version and doesn t work with other versions.

  Normally you n t have to enter a product key if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings and is different from a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Anyway, as said Akuma you can order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.
  The another model of laptop recovery disk will not work because the hardware is different.

  Good bye

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 580t: SATA HDD recognized and boots with the 2nd HARD drive, but not without

  Hello

  I have a Pavilion HPE - 580t with windows 7 installed.  The original drive (Drive1) has (according to Windows Disk Manager), a 100 MB system partition, a partition of 1 GB operating system and recovery partition.  The drive began to generate disk errors.  I added a second SATA (lecteur2), which has been recognized in the BIOS - it always appears at startup.

  I do not have to implement a system of lecteur2, but re-installed Windows 7 100 MB partition using lecteur2 as boot drive (not a cover), and it works fine, for most.  Reader1 still generates errors and slows down the office, but if I disconnect reader1, lecteur2 is ignored at the start, as the Bureau attempts a network boot.  I have confirmed in Windows OS is the start of the lecteur2, not reader1, but once again, lecteur2 is ignored as boot device if reader1 is not present.  I should add that this was the case when I was reinstalling the OS, I tried unplugging reader1 prior to re - install, but could not do and still access lecteur2.

  I tried to go up during the boot sequence in the Setup (F10), no change.  One additional thing - Setup (F10) is available that when reader1 is connected - F10 key has no effect at startup if reader1 is detached.  F10 Setup runs from the system on Disk1 area?  Any ideas on what I need to do to drop Drive1?

  Thank you

  I can now tell you 2 things on your system.

  (1) the original hard drive is 1.5 TB and that is embedded in the tattoo of HP.

  (2) you cannot use a disk less than 1.5 TB as primary drive.

  Never seen a facility like this scheme start between readers.  The only way I see on this perdictament is to remove the 1 TB drive and let the process of recovery of re - install the operating system. Then immediately clone the original on a new disk of 1.5 or 2 t. Attention to not exceed 2 TB. Seagate and WD has a free program for Disk Wizard for cloning option.

• Satellite L40 'pass' without pushing the button enter

  My daughter had a computer failure with its Satellite L40 and I had to reinstall windows with the additions of the disk (s?) of product recovery.

  Curiously, there are two discs, no. 1 and no. 2, but installation is complete without use of DVD nr. 2.

  But after re-installation, I have the following problem: fine on Windows startup, everything works, but when I move the cursor with the mouse and it crosses a hyperlink, it in time (not all the time) opens the link as if I had used the button enter or the left button of the mouse. This makes working with the laptop barely possible.

  Does anyone know what causes this problem and how it can be fixed?

  Thank you!

• Problem with Windows XP on Satellite L40-139

  Hello Toshiba user community!

  I'm new here but I'll cut right to the chase with my problem.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 (PSL40E) model that was included with Windows Vista Home Premium installed and all perfectly installed software. I recently got a Windows XP Professional SP2 through MSDNA of my college (a Microsoft service for universities) and has installed because Windows Vista, although very looking shifted the laptop as hell.

  The installation went smoothly. I installed all the drivers that showed the question mark (as the display driver, audio, modem, etc.). I experienced a few problems. They are presented below as well as a few questions:

  1. I can't use the Fn function more. While Fn + F8 works, I can't turn the volume upwards or downwards using Fn + arrow up / Fn + arrow key or any other combination.

  2. the display driver although it shows that it is perfectly installed it seems that it is not.
  a. I do not have the optino of display properties when I right click on the desktop.
  b. I recently installed Gothic I, who had previously worked on my L40 and now after playing the intro, I do not see the menu. It's dark, but the sound can be heard as the navigation menu. If I manage to press new surprise of game, it's always black and sometimes it shows a random graphic error.
  I tried to install the Toshiba page display driver. And after that he has not changed a thing I downloaded one from the Intel site. Same thing!

  Do you know a sollution?

  3 another problem, although as unrelated to the laptop is the for my laptop model Toshiba download page only shows the "how to install Windows XP.pdf" file. " This is for the Windows XP operating system. If you change to Vista you get a lot of pilots. It would almost seem Toshiba would force me to HAVE Vista so that my Satellite wo works properly. Any ideas?

  4. do you know a good tutorial on how to install Windows XP for Toshiba L40 laptop? Especially for the L40 - 139 (PSL40E)?

  5. If Windows XP succeeded withought problem to see my hard drive is necessary to install the driver Toshiba mentions in his XP installation tutorial? I mean he should improve performance or not?

  Thank you in advance,
  I will adjust your answers tomorrow!

  Best regards!

  Robert Mocanu

  Hi Robert,.

  I think that there is no such thing as a tutorial for installing Windows XP on your machine. But you can count the installation instructions provided on the page to Toshiba, because WinXP installation is all about good pilot order.

  Have you tried to select as model number short "all"? You can find many drivers and I am sure that these will work very well for your laptop.
  I'd say reinstall with the Toshiba page display drivers and try again. And install the latest version of direct X 9.

  OK, Gothic I is not a new game, but worth a try anyway.
  Ditto for the FN keys. Just follow the installation instructions and download and run driver configurations.

• Re: Satellite L40-18 X PSL48E: brightness goes back to max after each reboot

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40-18 X, short model: PSL48E
  bought with Vista, bios is version 1.70.

  It is very annoying problem with the screen brightness control:
  Whenever I restart the Vista operating system, the brightness is set up and I have to back to low light.

  By the operating system into hibernation, there is no problem - brightness is fine as I leaved the same percentage.
  The Fn + F6 and F7 keys to work properly, OS and BIOS - everywhere, but after I start the operating system, the brightness is at the highest level

  Absolutely the SAME problem is in windows XP (with the same bios 1.70) - Fn keys work fine, but when the os starts - brightness is always at Max level, hibernating is OK.

  Can you give me suggestion?
  Now, I don't want to make reflash the bios, because the site old version 1.60 for Vista, and I can't have the version of the mine.

  Appreciate any help :)

  Believe me, buddy!
  This is not a bug of any other software problem.
  Fact is that you can use different profiles in your Vista power options.

  I assume you are using the standard profile that contains the parameters for the use of the laptop connected to the main power supply. To my knowledge, the display is set to max brightness for best performance

  If you want to use different brightness you will need to create a new profile in the power options, and then you should change the settings
  Then save it and set as standard, default, or what I want to say that this profile should always start

  Hope this helps

• Re: Replacement of HDD on the Satellite L40-12 X

  Hello
  I have Satellite L40-12 X with 5400 RPM 120 GB HARD drive and I would like to buy a new HARD drive, but I wonder if 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be compatible with my laptop?

  Below is the basic information, but I can't find more information about it. Polish same technical support is not able to give me the answer. So, I would like to ask if there is someone who has replaced the HARD drive in this book and what type of HARD drive I can buy?

  THX for your help

  You will not be able to find answers to these questions and Toshiba doesn't offer the database page or support for certain models of laptops with a list of all compatible parts.

  If your laptop's SATA HDD theoretically there should be no problem to use 500 GB HARD drive.
  It is: so it must be exactly 500 GB?

• Replacement of HDD on Satellite U840-10R

  Hello

  I currently have a problem on my computer (Satellite U840 - 10R Reference: PSU4WE-00E017FR).

  The SSD (32 GB) from my hard drive part seems to be broken. I can't activate the SSD feature in the Intel software or I am in big trouble, so I disabled it. However, I can still use my computer because the part of the HARD drive (500 GB) is ok and the system.

  My question: is it possible to take all the drive of my computer and put a new SSD a place?

  How is it? This is similar to a 2.5 HDD classic?

  Would what kind of interface I find him inside? (Sata 3?)

  Thank you

  I don't know how old is your machine, but if the warranty is still valid I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask for replacement. Warranty will cover the costs.

  In any case, this 32 GB SSD's with mSATA type slot multi-level (MLC) cell. On Google you can see what it looks like. Generally, replacement should not be problematic but if don't have experience with computer laptop disassembly you shouldn't do it alone.

  Is that SSD is placed directly under the lid and place between RAM and WLAN card.

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop's SATA HDD inside. So everything you need to do is to buy a SATA HDD.
  Theoretically, you can use more HARD drive capacity of 120 GB.
  I have updated more older M70 with 250 GB SATA HDD and everything was OK.

  So, check prices and buy new HARD drive. I recommend one with 200 GB. It should be enough, isn t it?
