Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

• Satellite C660: HARD drive space shows only 20 GB of free?

  Toshiba Satellite c660 with 320 GB of disk space, it shows that 2 hard drives or 2 partitions, one called data shows only 20.6 GB of free on 148, but when I go in there I can only find at maximum approximately 50 GB even with all the backups?

  Hello

  There are more partitions on the HARD drive.
  You can see it in disk management.
  Right click on computer and select manage.
  Now you should be able to go to the disk management which will show you all the available partitions.

  A hidden partition is used for the Windows 7 backup files that are needed to fix the Windows 7 in the case where something goes wrong with the OS.
  Then, you can find a Windows partition and the other partition is used for HARD drive recovery. The point is that you are able to run the system recovery from the HARD drive without the use of the recovery disc (recover disk must be created using the recovery disc creator)

• Satellite C855-18J-battery low after only 9 months

  Hi all

  I bought my C855-18J Satellite in October, there is, so just 9 months, and since last night, I get the message to consider changing my battery! I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible? and if I want a new one it's more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...

  They are now on low batteries?

  It is my first Toshiba computer (used from other brands before).

  > I've never seen a battery that doesn't last even a year... How is that possible?
  Possible is everything

  > and if I want a new one, it is more expensive than 100dollars (excluding P & P)...
  As far as I know the laptop is covered by the standard warranty that is valid 12 months.
  Then why you n t contact your dealer or a service of Toshiba and ask the new part/difficulty under conditions of warranty?

  In my eyes without any doubt the best solution here

• Re: Satellite A40 - hard drive error - will not start

  My friend bought this laptop in April 2007 and has been very happy with it until about a month when he stopped startup in windows xp.

  At the start, she now gets the message

  "PXE - E61 media test failure - check the cable for.
  "PXE - M0F outgoing intel boot agent"
  "Insert system disk in drive."
  "Press a key when you are ready.

  and then the laptop does not start in windows.

  I thought that the hard drive can have detached, so I took it out and he handed in a State, but in vain.

  I also tried to reinstall with the recovery CD but get the following error message
  status «»
  GDISK (E) no such fixed disk 1 "

  It is followed by * ERROR *.
  Error number 11030
  invalid message destination drive
  X;

  I ran a Toshiba (or he could have Hitachi) utility disk that I burned on a cd and went up on the audit boot.

  It said there are problems on Toshiba MK4025GAS, which is the hard drive. details coincide with what it actually says on the disc.

  The BIOS sees the drive start on as he is listed as the master, with the cd as the secondary drive.
  Therefore, is it true that the drive is broken. If so - can it be repaired or is there another solution.

  I tried Googling the error message and there are conflicting messages on this issue, so your help would be very appreciated.
  It seems crazy that the reader can break after only 18 months - was there a defective batch?

  If that's the case Toshiba offers a replacement or it will cost a lot?

  Thank you

  In your case, the HARD drive is certainly defective and you need to replace. Satellite A40 is pretty old laptop without guarantee valid and there is no replacement from Toshiba.

  Just buy a new HARD drive. Hard drives for this good old classic are not more expensive.

  You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

• Hi all. How can I manage the preferences that LR do not take up space on my MAC hard drive and works only on the external hard drive?

  Hi all. I am new and on a free trial right now.

  How can I manage the preferences that LR do not take up space on my MAC hard drive and works only on the external hard drive?

  Hi amireos,

  Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

  If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

  If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

  Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

  Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

  Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

  See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

  Let us know if it helps.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2450-101 after the 60 GB HARD drive upgrade, made only to see 30 GB

  Hello world

  I'm new to this forum. I own a 2450-101, a little old man, real it´s, but still a very nice PC. Harman-Kardon louspeakers make it very useful for music.

  I would switch the HD, so I installed a new 60 GB (the maximum taken in charge, I said) and used the recovery CD.

  Everything worked perfectly, but it seems that only 30 GB can be seen by Windows. I heard, that I might need to update the BIOS. Mine is version 1.50.

  After a long search through sites Toshiba and the Inetrnet, I can only find updates the BIOS for the new models...

  only reference I've seen is on this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07, but

  Yet once I don't find Bios for my model.
  Please any help would be really appreciated ;)

  Hello

  You are right. This laptop is a bit old, but very nice. It provides performance enough for someone in need of this laptop only for everyday use.

  As for you statement about 60 GB of HARD drive. Well, I m a bit confused.
  How did you check the size of the HARD drive and why you say that it recognize only 30 GB?
  How did you check that? And you are sure that you have installed and 60 GB HARD drive?

  I recommend to check the size in disk management!

  With regard to the BIOS;
  The BIOS for this laptop is on the Toshiba driver page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  There, you have to search in archive Archive Satellite Satellite 24xx Satellite 2450-101.
  As far as I know the BIOS 1.50 is available on the page!

• Satellite L670 - 143 - drive HARD recovery error

  Hello

  For some time, I want to reinstall my version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on my Toshiba Satellite L670-143.

  Only, the problem is, whenever I try to follow the following steps:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm or
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7C02140000R01.htm

  He says that the "HDD Recovery" plan on the post of second on the first disc is missing.

  Help?

  Hey,.

  To me it sounds like that HARD drive recovery files are deleted or missing then, how do you want to start the installation of HARD drive recovery?
  Usually, you can do this in the advanced Windows (F8) boot menu and choose fix my computer. After loading some files, you should be able to choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option.

  It it doesn t work you must have the Toshiba recovery disc but you don't create it?

• Satellite L650 - 15G - HARD drive starts after 10 to 15 seconds

  Hi my dear,
  Please can someone help,

  I have my Satellite L650 - 15G, I bought 10/01/2010. I have a problem that occurs only with the battery, when I press the power button, I hear the fan starting, lamp wireless, then the lamp light power but not the lamp of HDD, 2 to 3 seconds the laptop closed. If I pressed the power button / stop again after that or I pressed again while the light from the lamp of the hard drive and it will start normally. This never happen when I connect the charger with the battery or when I use it with the adapter only.

  I changed the battery of the Toshiba, but no way. I changed the power management, made adjustments in power management bios (version 1.8 after I updated), disable, enable certain features in Device Manager but no way.

  The more strange that many times it starts normal and other times it does so. Also, this may manifest itself sometimes in long boot times, which means that I sometimes hear fan, see wirless, power lights up and after 10-15 seconds, the hard drive turns on and starts.
  Please help me

  I went to the warranty Center Toshiba in Cairo and they checed on Tester then nothing said abnorml with processor, hard, Rams

  Hello

  And that said the guys from the Toshiba warranty Center that could be? Is it a hardware problem or not?

  To be honest it is really hard to say something about it, but at the moment for me, it looks like a HARD drive or motherboard problem.

  Did you also load default settings in the BIOS after update?

• HARD drive click after update Bios on Satellite A100

  Hello.
  I just did a bios update for my Satellite A100 PSAA9, and after that I started to hear a few clicks on the hard drive, from time to time. They appear very often, but I would like to know why they started!

  The bios update was published in 26/11/2007.
  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Thank you.

  I put t think it has something to do with the BIOS update.
  I put t don't know how old you HDD is but maybe that click concern only the HARD drive hardware problem

  There are several times in my HARD disk created similar clique and sounds but it s runs great
  I didn't noticed any hardware problem however, we cannot exclude a hardware problem and therefore, you should back up important data to prevent the files from damage.

  Best regards

• Satellite M40: HARD drive not working after laptop computer trasported turned upside down

  My Satellite M40 is facing a strange problem: whenever I have transport (for example, in the trunk of my car) backwards instead of in his natural position or vertically, after the transport, the HD does not work for a few hours. The BIOS does not see the HD because it is not present at all. After a few hours of rest, without moving, if you try to turn on the PC again, the HD magically comes to work again backwards.

  My HD is made with soda water? :)

  Talk seriously... What do you think it is?

  Hi franz

  Not easy to say what it is, or why it happens. Maybe it? s a bad connection of the HARD disk.
  I guess that this happens because of the agitation in the car.
  Well, I don? don't know if it helps but you can try to check the connection of the HARD disk.
  The second possibility to use another HARD disk. It might be because there is something wrong with the HARD drive.

• Re: Satellite C850 - replacement HARD drive dead, install OS

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C850 with a completely dead hard drive. I have no Win 7 DVD but I don't have the product key.
  Where should I go from here?

  Hello

  If you have a valid key, you can download the iso file of Windows 7 from Microsoft.
  This image file can be burned to a disc.
  Then you can use this disk to install the Windows 7 and activate with valid key.

  But be careful: If you mean the serial key which is located at the bottom of the device, you would know that those keys cannot be used for activation of Win 7. Its key OEM belonging to Toshiba preinstalled image. I guess that it will not work.
