Satellite L450-181 - how to fix alarm HDD/CSD?

I have a new Toshiba Satellite L450-181.

Every time I now online, "Toshiba HDD/CSD Alert" message bubble appears.
If I click on it, a window with the word "dwRet = 12" appears with a button marked "debug". Click on this to find the message "unable to get disk information. Cannot use the alert function. »

Can someone help me with this please? What it means and how to fix?

Thank you.

Hello

Strange what s... I also use that HDD/SSD Alert good tool, but I never noticed any problems with it. It seems really well run.

In any case, you should try to reinstall this tool from Web of Toshiba site like Akuma wrote.

If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

    How to connect my laptop to my Toshiba regza TV?

    Hi ian guest,.

    Unfortunately, your laptop doesn t have output HDMI then you must use the VGA port on your computer. Most TVs also have that VGA port, so you can use a VGA cable to the connector on your laptop to the TV.

    If you did start two devices and select VGA (PC) channel on your TV. Press the FN + F5 key combination to switch between monitors (internal and external).

  • Satellite L450-188 - how to disable ACPI.sys and update the BIOS?

    Hi, hoping someone can help me with a slight problem, I'll have

    I recently bought a Satellite L450-188 (number PSLY0E-03K019EN) running under Windows 7 64-bit

    I use the laptop with a DJ program called Rane Serato Scratch Live, I got latency usb problems, getting usb dropouts when I try to use the program on the smallest audio buffer position (which I expect to be able to do)

    When I contacted support at Serato team with my problem, they suggested that I run a program to check the time DPC on my laptop, when I presented the report to them, they said ACPI.sys was the origin of the problem and suggested that interest me to turn it off, but I wasn't too comfortable with that.

    The other suggestion was to try to find updates the bios for my laptop, but I'm not too set up with that sort of thing, and I'm worried I might damage the laptop maybe installing the wrong thing.

    Can someone give me advice on this topic, because I don't know what to do

    Thank you
    Jim

    Hi jimbob_1,

    Normally the ACPI means Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and control options for energy savings.
    So if something is wrong with the ACPI.sys file I recommend reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.
    By the way: are you running pre-installed Windows version or another?

    As Akuma writes that you can download the BIOS update from Toshiba Web site. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/ > support & downloads > download drivers

    Your laptop belongs to the series of PSLY0E, so you can download latest BIOS.

    Before you begin the BIOS update, close all running programs and extract all the files from zip archive. You start the update as an administrator and connect the AC adapter. Also, make sure that the battery is fully charged.

  • Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

    Hello!

    I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

    In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

    I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
    The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

    There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
    It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
    However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

    Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

    Best regards and thanks for the help!
    Gernot

    So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
    Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

    Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

    Please let me know if it will work.

  • Satellite L450-12W - how to use the folder HDDrecovery?

    Hello

    I need to get this L450, but its owner did not get it back dvd.

    The system does not start, and he said:
    + BOOTMGR is missing.
    Press ctrl + alt + delete to restart +.

    I noticed the hard drive of 320 is divided into three partitions:
    first of all, hidden, SYSTEM, 400MiB, with the diag + flag +, and there's the Startup Manager (+ bootmgr, BOOTSECT. BAK+ and the folder + start +) and a folder called recovery + where there is a subfolder called + WindowsRE + which contains + winRE.wim +.
    second is WINDOWS, 149GiB, with the flag + start +; This is the operating system.
    in third place is given, 148GiB, no flag. Here's a folder called HDDRecovery size 6.4GiB and a folder called + MONICA-TOSH + where there are a lot of backups that I don't know how to use.

    Then, I tried to follow the manual, which know to press the 0 (zero) key when starting to start the recovery from the hard disk, but it did not work, no screen appears and the error message appears again.

    What should I do?

    Thanks, and sorry for my English, I'm Italian.

    EDIT: I forgot to say that I also tried to fix the problem with the Windows7 DVD repair tools, but he did not find any operating system with a Linux Live, I see that all the system files are in the WINDOWS partition!

    Hey Buddy,

    The HDDrecovery usable only if you are able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu. There is an option called fix my computer which will start the Toshiba HDDrecovery.
    I put t know what the user manual you have, but AFAIK press zero will not work. You must press the F8 key to access the advanced boot menu.
    It work?

    If not, there is nothing you can do I think wait Toshiba Recovery disk Windows reinstallation. This will restore the preinstalled settings of Toshiba. If you n t have this disc, you can order it here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Alternative you can use a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. After that, you have all the drivers and tools from Toshiba Web site.

  • Satellite U300-PSU30E - how to fix disk HARD runing Vista

    Is it possible to fix the HARD disk if the repair of Vista does not work?

    At startup, I can choose the repair of the system, but there is no HARD disk driver.
    Vista does not start.

    The strange thing is that Linux can access the HARD disk. The re-partition and the boot partition seem to be OK, but the Vista partition is damaged.
    Linux application to use windows and give 'chkdsk /f' and 2 startup time.
    Nice, but I have no way to get to a working command prompt.

    Is there a way to access the BIOS settings?
    BIOS detects the HARD drive and displays its name and type (MK1637GSX).
    Just wondering if there is something wrong with the BIOS settings.

    The repair CD is not helping. He asks a HARD disk driver.
    With the CD, access to the boot partition and the WinRE partition works, but accessing the partition Vista doesn't.
    Sometimes I find myself in a bad score.
    Directory on the partition change Vista takes about 10 minutes (if it happens to succeed).

    I managed to find the disk.inf on the Vista partition once, but after a long installation there is a popup saying that nothing could be installed.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong with BIOS, you can access the BIOS by pressing F2.
    But if Linux is bootable, then everything is OK with the BIOS and HARD disk
    I think that only Vista partition and master boot record may be defective.

    > Repair CD does not help. He asks a HARD disk driver.
    I think that you need to install the SATA drive in order to recognize the HARD drive.
    The SATA drivers should be part of the Robson package which is on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Maybe then you could get access to HARD drive and running a chkdsk /F

    I think that your laptop is not the recovery of HARD drive partition.
    Only the most recent models of laptops that are not delivered with the recovery disc supports this feature.

    The TPM module (trusted platform module module) configuration is done in the BIOS Setup program, and this feature is available only with certain models.

  • Satellite P200 - 1fc - how to fix the connector cc

    I damaged my laptop power connection.
    The only way to the laptop acknowledges that I'm hip is if I push hard on the adapter or rotate in a certain way.
    Can it be fixed and if so, how?

    Hello

    It is a job for a technician to the laptop.
    To replace this connector DC, the whole notebook must be dismantled and believe me; It is not really easy, but very delicate!
    In addition it s unclear to me if this DC connector is welded to other rooms.
    Therefore, I would not recommend unveiled for this problem in your own hand.
    You could damage the motherboard and it would be the worst case, because a mobo is a part of portable more expensive!
    I think that its worth to pay a little for a short workaround as to risk a complete laptop damage!

  • Satellite L450D-128: how to fix intermittent errors blue screen Crash?

    My computer suffered several errors blue screen for a month, and I need help to fix it. I've already posted this question on the forums of Windows 7, but received no reply and therefore no help.

    I use a Satellite L450D-128. I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    According to the .dmp files, most of the accidents were caused by the ntoskrnl.exe file that is part of the windows OS.

    Can someone tell me the best way to look at/fix this file?

    Hello

    The ntoskrnl.exe seems to be part of the kernel to boot Microsoft.
    In my view this file or this process should not create a BSOD
    Have you checked if the new installation of the OS could solve this problem?

    Given that the BSOD may be linked to serious problems or hardware problem
    Therefore, you should try new fresh OS installation to check if the system is not affected
    Otherwise I recommend that you check the RAM modules (perhaps running a memtest86 +)

    Hello

    Check the HARD drive!
    Use the tool called Drive Fitness Test which can be downloaded for free.
    This tool creates a startup disk that is running a HARD drive test.

    By the way; have you tried recovery disk to reinstall the OS?
    Usually, HARD drive recovery can be started by pressing F8 (when starting laptop) and then you must choose option fix my computer that contains HARD drive recovery.
    But maybe this option does not exist anymore if you have already tried a fresh install of the OS
