Satellite L670-1KZ - MotherCard & hard drive 3 TB - 1 partition instead of 2?

Nice day

I have just formatted as my new seagate 3 TB of hard disk (e-sata, external dock) and I have 2 partitions on windows.
One of the 1.99 TB and another 746 GB.

I called seagate to ask if I could have a partition isntead of two, because I'll be using this HD for my H1 only Dune.
The answer was: «it is possible, it depends on your motherboard compatibility drivers»

Then I called Toshiba, to ask if he was a updated driver for my motherboard, in order to merge my 2 partitions in one. The ref of the motherboard is K000103790 ASSY. No update Toshiba available.

Question: anyone tried to read a 3 TB (external) on his L670 and successful HD to merge the 2 initial partitions into one? If so, yu has used a third-party software? If Yes, which?

It's not a big deal, but I'm going to enjoy having a single partition for my use (blu - ray backup for my H1 Dune).

Hope one of you has the solution

With our thanks
Guillaume

HEEEE? I've never heard that I m really wondering why a partition usage depends on the motherboard laptop computer s? For me, the explanation given by Seagate sounds really amazing

> Question: anyone tried to read a 3 TB (external) on its L670 and successful HD to merge the 2 initial partitions into one only? If so, yu has used a third-party software? If Yes, which?

Why you n t itself-test?
Usually, you can do this in Windows disk management
The two partitions of the external HARD drive should be visible in disk management and you should be able to delete a partition and add free space to the other partition

  • Satellite L670-1CN - second HARD drive possible?

    Hello

    is it possible to add a second hard drive on L670-1CN? I would like to buy a laptop that has this feature to put an ssd in a second Bay.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hey Buddy,

    Why you n t answer that question yourself?

    If you have a second HARD-drive Bay, remove the HARD drive cover. You see a second SATA connector?
    If so, it is possible to use a second HDD, otherwise not because you can t improve it with such a connector.

  • Satellite L670 - the system HARD drive recovery does not start

    Hello together,

    I have a problem with my laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "disk HARD recovery.

    When I hold the button '0' on start nothing happens. The beginning of doesn´t of system recovery.

    Can you help fix the problem.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello

    This does not work because you have installed Win 7 64 bit as you said here:
    > I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    But have you tried also pressing F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?
    Try this

    Otherwise, drive HARD recovery does not work because the boot manager has been changed or damaged as a result of the new install of Win 7 and this is why you cannot load HARD drive recovery.
    That is why it s always recommended to create a recovery disc before changing anything on the HARD drive.

    What to tell buddy you need recovery disks. I guess that you have a European model for laptop

    You can order the recovery discs here:

    (2) ON THE VIDEO CARD:

    Also, I used an Amilo Xi 2550-8009 underpinning last week, I changed it to this Toshiba, but I am facing a problem with a game ARMA II.
    I got the error message is: 'Pixel shader compilation error', with a black screen and sound of 'ping '.
    I don't understand because I found a comparison test with a GeForce and my current HD5650 which is supposed to support this kind of thing shader.

    Have you managed to run ARMA II on your laptop? If so, what did I miss?

    Thanks in advance for your comments have fully appreciated,
    G2MARS

    Hey,.

    Generally these driver updates are not important if everything works properly. So in your case I don't install these updates if your laptop runs without problem.
    As you probably know: never touch a running system ;)

    Regarding your second question:
    Have you checked if ARMA 2 supports this graphics card? Have you installed the latest DirectX and more recent patch for this game?

  • Satellite A210-ICO - what HARD drive I can use?

    I'm getting bad sectors on the hard drive of my laptop, so I guess I should pay for a new one – but who are able to A210-1CO?

    TA, M

    Hello

    Satellite A210 uses SATA hard drives and you need a new HARD drive with SATA interface. You can buy each HARD drive you want, for example 160 or 320 GB. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    In addition, most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its compatible downgrade to SATA1.
    I would have preferred a HARD disk at 5400 RPM. Of course, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but they produced more heat and noise. For most of the applications are pretty 5400 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
    HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

    1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

    2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

    Hello

    As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
    This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
    As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
    Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

    But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

    > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
    You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

  • Satellite L670-1KZ - problem for a disc of 3 TB external HARD

    I use 3 TB drive Seagate and WD on my Antec external box or grid of storeva very often to back up my data.

    The problem is it randomely, I can't disconnect my external hard drive.

    Sometimes, it works using HotSwap when connected with e-sata cable, sometimes it is said that my external HDD is still in use and request a reboot, but more dangerous, like today, nothing happens when you use this time this cursed F * tool windows 7 64-bit: "eject the disc safely" through the green icon.

    I see my drive external HARD on windows Explorer, but it is completely locked and blocked, frozen. I can wait an hour, nothing changes. The problem is that when I try to reboot my laptop, it crash and I have to manually shut down.

    And it's very bad, because after that, when I reconnect my external SD, I still have the same problem, the data have disappeared or are inaccessible.
    If I perform a scandisk to repair the damaged cluster supposed-to-be, it hangs at X %, then, I'll have to kill the process, restart, plug the external SD. And then, no error message more, not corrupted data etc etc...
    The result is sometimes, no damage, sometimes I have the bad surprise with damaged files, it's Russian roulette!

    I never know if my data on my hard drive has been corrupted or not until I test, how for example an original bluray movie that will not play propely because a single m2ts file is dead.

    I'm tired of living with fear or crashing 3 TB of data at any time, the 2 TB SD never never will ever face this problem.

    * Question: * is at - it solution secure to avoid this problem of ejection of the external 3 to DD permanently or do I have to change my cell phone? I don't have a PC, just my satellite.

    With my thanks for your help, I'm desperate.

    Generally, you will not be able to eject safely the external HARD disk, if an application still accesses the HARD drive. This can be a process that runs in the background.
    In this case you must close this process in order to eject the HARD disk.
    In my case, I couldn't eject the HARD drive because I've downloaded some files from the external HARD drive to my cloud. I had to close all my browser windows just to eject the HARD disk.

    But this does not mean that this could be the case even for your question, it may be any process that you know

  • Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

    Hi all!

    Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

    I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

    What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
    The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

    Can someone help me?

    I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

    Thank you!!!

    If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
    Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
    On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
    > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

    But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
    Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

    I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

    And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

    What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

    It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
    I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

    By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

  • Satellite A60 - 102 - what HARD drive is possible

    What capacity of hard drive used in this laptop

    Hello

    Satellite A60 is a little older series and I think that the laptop supports the IDE HDD controller
    Perhaps the HARD disk controller support for only 28 bit LBA, which means that only 128 GB would be recognized by the BIOS.

    I think a 120 GB HDD should work but I'm not sure if the biggest hard drives would be supported due to mentioned m 28-bit LBA

    I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

    So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
    If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

    Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
    That article should work
