Satellite P10 - 792 HDD size instead of 60 GB 27 GB?

Just unpacked and spent last week, install my P10-792 and now (...) I noticed that the C drive is only 27 GB while the drive itself is about 60 GB. There is a volume without the name of about the same size (27 GB).
In the FAQ, I found a cure for the resizing partitions using the restore CD, but it probably means reinstalling all over the entire machine.
Please help me. I would use all of the disk and not just half of it.

Thank you, Stephan

Hi Stephan,

information to your new Latop, beautiful machine! :-)

I think you have the factory installed OS on the machine and you might see in Solution Explorer that the C partition is ony 27 GB and space without a name like unformated?

There are 2 solutions

1. If you like partitioning with 2 x 27 GB you can click on the unpartitioned space and format it with the right mouse click-format. Then you have a "C" and "D" partition on your laptop

2. the alternatives, it is that you want another partition, you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD and do a reinstall with the Expert Mode. There you can set the size and the number of partitions.
or you install 3rd party software like Partition Magic and set up the partitions on a running windows system!

Tip: There is a 60GB HDD built in, but you have only two partitions of 27 GB on your PC. The result of this is that not 54 GB but 60 GB are built. It is a property of Windows, a gigabyte, 1024 megabytes.

Bye Bob

    If you perform a reinstallation always use your CD of tools & utilities Toshiba. Normally the same drivers as you can find on the internet. I don't know that it was your mistake.

    All the drivers on the internet are updated regularly and I can't imagine for me that there is something wrong.

  • Satellite P10 - 792 lock ups / crashes and battery

    I used my P10 792 even since I bought it 3 years ago. S there was a decreasing battery box that appears on my screen (sometimes) say I should replace the badly inserted battery and restart my computer. If there is also a problem mouse touch pad. He touchpad doesn't respond well to orders while he was trying to move the pointer.

    The battery alarm message usually comes with the dysfunction of the touchpad. I have to press ESC to restore the touchpad back to normality and close the application of process Btrychkr.exe under the menu CTRL + ALT + DELETE to make the gibbous Moon box to disappear.

    But the main and most recently problem are blockages, especially when running programs that require a video grand advanced such as 3D games and DVDs. The screen freezes for several seconds, and then he comes back to life. This is sometimes followed by a sudden stop down.

    Finally, when I try to turn it on, it doesn't even get to loading windows before it stops again, and so on. So I have to wait several minutes before pushing on the button again. Now, we have reached a critical situation where the computer won t last more than 10 minutes before its shutdown automatically without notice. There is no error message so I don't see what is the cause of the problem. (Battery? Overheating?)

    It is also important to note that one of my friends with a series of P10 also had these same problems and finally had to buy a new one because the laptop has been just the hand. I fear me comes with the same situation of m.

    How can I solve this problem?
    I would really appreciate the help.
    Thank you

    Hello

    You you use laptop for 3 years. You replace the battery during this 3 years?
    Isn't it? I think it would be a good idea to replace the battery.
    Usually after about 500 times of loading and unloading procedures the performance of the battery goes down and the life time decreases

    Additional during those 3 years, the laptop needs to be cleaned. Fans suck dirt and dust and sometimes cooling modules cannot turn with maximum performance and can not cool the CPU and other devices.
    Of course, the overheating could be a reason for your shutdown problems

    Looks like you haven t much experience so I think someone with more experience (technician) is recommended to clean the notebooks cooling modules

    First switch to the WiFi network, to use the FN + F8 and not FN + F7 key combination.

  • Satellite P10 792 turns off

    Hello

    my laptop (bought in October 2004) turns off after 5 or 10 minutes because it runs too hot.

    If I place my laptop on blocks (5 cm) and place a fan of giant wind next to / under him, my laptop works perfectly.

    So I guess there is a problem with the installation of refrigeration.

    Also after 3 weeks, a USB connection was broken.
    I brought my notebook where I bought it and they send forward to a Toshiba official repair service.

    Now, I have to pay nearly 900 euros to fix.

    I think that it is a warranty case!

    I paid 1800 euros for her and not even a year later, I still pay to make it work again?

    It's the kind of warranty given by Toshiba?
    I thought Toshiba was a brand with a good customer service...? !

    Greetings

    Hi Veronica,.

    Certainly, the symptoms you describe indicate that your laptop is overheating. You will find a lot of posts on these forums on this topic. Briefly, you need to remove the dust that is wedged between the cooling fans and the heat sink. I would recommend a vacuum cleaner pipe placed on the aspiration air grills. Alternatively you can remove the heat sink and of clear debris manually (this would nullify your warranty however).

    As for your comments on your USB port, I've also experienced this when both ports on my A30 broke. I was informed that it is treated as accidental damage and is therefore not covered by the warranty. I opted to buy a PCMCIA USB adapter card which was much cheaper than the cost of the repair.
