• Re: Satellite L500-202 - Bios error! in front of HARD drive

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500-202.
  I tried to reinstall Win 7 on it, but I can't install it and display an error message from the Bios.

  In the configuration of installation a menu! in front of the HARD drive.
  What is the problem?

  Best regards

  Hello

  Please try to configure the default BIOS by using the F9 key in the BIOS.
  To access the BIOS F2 press immediately after the laptop is turned on.
  Then press f9 and save changes

  I recommend that you test the HARD drive as well... use a tool called 'Test of fitness Drive' for this...

• Satellite A200 PSAF3A - upgrade the hard drive - data retention?

  Hello

  I am working on a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF3A with a dying 160 GB Fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA drive installed.
  I would like to replace the hard drive 400 GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in a car with a Fujitsu and transfer any existing information on it. I noticed that there is a standard C:\, a System Volume of Toshiba and a HDDRecovery partition on the current drive.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible by using disk imaging software? If so, what are the issues could meet? (eg. new player will only recognize the old C:\ partition size etc.)

  I have already created a backup of the drive image and all 3 partitions (as she made a lot of noise and possibly at its output) using shadow protect Desktop
  Toshiba HDDRecovery & the System Volume partitions don't show in SPDesktop as the affected drive letters, so I don't know if I can restore using this program. Everyone has used successfully to achieve this result?

  pus
  I also have a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows here, and have successfully used the Roadkills Disk Copy with a SATA Adapter USB to copy a C:\ on a laptop in the past. It would be a better approach? I was thinking of using this method because it must copy all 3 partitions, then just use GParted to resize C:\ to fill the rest of the available HARD disk space.

  Thanks in advance :)

• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

  Bye and good luck

• Recovery of Satellite A215 after replacing the hard drive

  I have a Satellite A215 from issues taken to a store, they said the hard drive was going wrong, they extracted the files it could.
  I replaced the concert of 80 hitachi Moose with a new concert of 500 hitachi. When I try to launch the boot disc that came with the computer it says loading windows then goes to a recovery mode and I can't function.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

  At this point, it would be interesting to know if the same thing would happen with 100 GB HARD drive. Do you get the such or similar HDD somewhere for testing purposes?

  It's that you can't manipulate image recovery and recovery installation procedure. Either it works or not.
  To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your upgrade. I can't imagine that a small car can work with stronger engine 10 times. What do you think?

• Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

  My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

  According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

  I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

  Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Nice. ;)
  To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

• L50-B-11J satellite does not recognize the HARD drive connected by USB 3.0

  Hello

  I recently bought a new laptop and install a new legal copy of windows pro 8.1.

  The problem that arises is actually a USB 3.0 port.
  Also, I have a drive external hard support standard USB 2.0 and 3.0.

  When I plug-in the hard drive into a USB 2.0 or any USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is disabled in the BIOS) fine, hard drive is recognized and I can access.

  But, when I plug-in the hard disk into a USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is active in the BIOS) Windows does not recognize it and I can't access it.

  The hard disk led flashes, so it has the power, but does not appear in the devices or Device Manager.
  My opinion is that the problem may be with the drivers for USB, but Toshiba is supported for driver for USB 3.0 for Windows 8.1.

  Then can someone suggest me what to do?

  Laptop: Satellite L50-B-11J
  USB ports: 1xUSB 2.0 port, 2xUSB 3.0 port
  Operating system: Windows Pro 8.1
  USB 3.0 driver: Intel (r) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Control - 0100 (Microsoft)
  External hard drive: support USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standard

  Intel USB 3.0 driver is part of the 8.1 Windows System... This is not supplied by Toshiba.

  Windows 7 contains no such USB 3.0 driver and so you can download driver Intel USB 3.0 page of the Toshiba driver as well as the Intel download site.

  By the way: try to disable the functionality of sleep & Charge and check how the HARD drive would work.

• Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

  A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you
  Stone

  Hello!

  Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

  250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

  My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

  To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
  Is this true?
  (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

  Can anyone say about this the removal of HD to support it please?

  Hey,.

  Normally it of not necessary to restore the factory settings with to remove the HARD drive but don t you worry about this. The laptop can still be opened from a service provider authorized without losing the warranty.

  I also put t know why they did, perhaps they have checked the material. It would be possible because they have professional diagnostic tools.

  But interesting to know whether or not your problem is now resolved?

• Satellite M40x-189: on the HARD drive and graphics card update Question

  Hi people just a few quick questions.

  1. a second hard drive can I be mounted on the cell above?... it came with a 60 GB HARD drive
  graphics mobile geforce or ati 2. can / will be mounted instead of the integrated graphics card?

  the answers would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  It is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard. It s not the same technology as on desktop computers.
  Upgrading the HARD drive is something different. It of possible to replace the HARD drive to another. But before you replace the HARD drive, you must check if the HARD disk is compatible and if the BIOS will recognize.
  Sometimes the BIOS cannot recognize the hardest.

  I put t know why your laptop has crashed and why the HARD drive password is needed but the fact is that if you n t know the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive is blocked and is no longer accessible.

• What is the hard drive more large size taken supported by the HP Pavilion a6650f?

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6650f that I got from a friend a few years ago.

  I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive to a SATA 1 TB or 2 TB drive. The vehicle currently has a 80 GB IDE drive. I know it is originally with a 500 GB SATA drive (which was later to be defective, so he gave it to me after his warranty missed).  The original drive left after that (of course) missed coverage.

  He currently runs Ubuntu Linux 12.04 EAP 32-bit.

  This PC would be able to use the 2 TB drive Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 7 200 RPM?

  http://microcenter.com/product/386364/Barracuda_2TB_7, 200_SATA_6Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive_ST2000DM...

  The computer should be fine with SATAII disks up to 2 TB. Greater than 2 to cause problems for you. In addition, you may need to update the drivers for the readers of Format 'Advance '.

• Satellite L500 - what is the voltage on the USB ports?

  What is the voltage on the USB ports?

  I would like to connect Transcend StoreJet 25 with USB 3.0. It takes a 5 V DC on USB. How (and where) can I check the voltage in my computer?

  Thanks for help.

• Remove recovery partition satellite A200 - option "Erase the hard drive"?

  Hi people,

  I have a new Satlellite A200 and it won't start. Tried to run the recovery CD, but no joy.
  Could someone please tell me, if I chose

  'Clear the hard disk' then 'delete all data and partitions of the hard disk '.

  This would also remove the computer's internal recovery partition?

  I have the recovery CD, but as I said, they do not work and I was wondering if the compensation completely HARD drive then runs the disk recovery partition recovery help.

  Sorry if this is a fundamental question for you guys! I read through hundreds of threads, but could not find a definitive answer.

  Thanks in advance,
  E.

  > 'Clear the hard disk' then 'delete all data and partitions of the hard disk '.
  > This would also remove the computer's internal recovery partition?

  If you mean the partition hidden WinRE Vista then; YES

  But don t worry buddy. The Toshiba Vista recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions, but it creates the hidden WinRE Vista back to the HARD disk partition.
