• Re: Question about HARD drive partitions

  My uncle bought me a laptop Satellite A100 European 5 months ago and I don t have the card with me. Then all of a sudden, my operating system has been corrupted and I had to format my hard drive. I used the recovery CD I received with the laptop. The box contains 3 CD. I followed the instructions.

  I had to use two of the CD and now I only have one big disk.
  Is it possible for me to make the hard disk partition after formatting?
  Help, please!

  The description provided by sanremo only works with Vista.
  If you have a XP OS you will need a 3rd party application like Partition Magic 8, for example.
  I use this PM8 and I m very happy. This great software to create, manage and edit the partitions on the HARD disk.

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• Re: Satellite L750-Question about a data Partition

  L750 HARD disk is divided as follows:

  Drive C: 232 GB
  D drive: 233 GB (recovered files)
  System:?

  I'm not sure, if drive D is the one where do I place my own data, why must the files of recovery that probably should be in a separate partition. Can I create a new partition in the disk D for my own personal data that I don't want to place it with the recovery files in case they are accidentally deleted?

  In addition, I don't want to put my data on the C drive.

  > I'm not sure if drive D is where should I place my own data...
  Why not? What is the problem? Why is - what are irritated you with existing collection case here?
  I n t have Satellite L750 but if you can see folder HDDRecovery there you can set it to be hidden and you see it, but it will always be there. After doing this, you will not be able to accidentally erase.
  >... Why does have the files for recovery that probably should be in a separate partition.
  It doesn't have to be on a separate partition.
  > Can I create a new partition in the disk D for my own personal data that I don't want to place it with the recovery files in case they are accidentally deleted?
  There no sense to create a third partition if you already have the second partition D. use this partition to save all the data of a personal nature. I do the same.

  By the way: s user guides described document that you must create recovery DVDs. This recovery with the recovery image DVDs can be used for installing the OS. In General, after the creation of recovery disks, you can even remove data recovery. Don t move anywhere data recovery. Result may be that you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

• Satellite 300CDT: number of HARD disk - partitions show only 4 GB

  I have an old Satellite 300CDT, I can't support it appears not yet listed on the Toshiba site.
  I have added a new hard drive and bought a 40 GB drive, but it will only show 4 GB per partition.
  I want 2 partitions that I have and in fdisk I said 50% for each but it only shows 4GB each even though it says support big readers.
  I'm running Windows Me.
  Is it possible for an old laptop of this type to display the size of the hard drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Did you use the FAT32 or NTFS?
  I use partition Magic 8 to do and to manage the partitions on the HARD disk.
  In my opinion, you should try this program. I think that using the PM8 you will get the total size of the HARD drive.

• Satellite P30: Question about HARD drive replacement

  I have a P30 (part number PSP30E-1z8008EN) and the need to replace the hard drive, can someone please advise the exact specifications I need to swap between IDE ATA-5?

  Thank you
  John

  Hello

  Satellite P30 was delivered with different HARD drive sizes.
  I know that the P30-102 has been delivered with the HARD disk that supports the interface IDE (ATA-6) increased to 100 GB!

  So I advise to use the similar with the same kind of interface.

• Question about hard drive partitions - Satellite L450

  I just got a new Satellite L450 with a 250 GB hard drive. I moved my media on it and quickly received a warning from the Toshiba Bulletin board that my hard drive was achieved at full capacity. When I look at 'My computer', it shows 2 hard drives, WINDOWS (C :) and DATA(D:).) I guess it's one thing to install because there is only one hard drive.

  C and D drives are around 120 GB but WINDOWS is 75% sold out. How to use drive D and avoid the warning on the capacity of the drive?
  Can I change the capactiy for C and D allowances?

  In my opinion, you should simply ignore this message. In Windows Explorer, you can clearly see how much free space is available on each partition. So I think t for the partitions and data administration you n t need to monitoring applications.

  This partitions C and D is the standard setting for the new Toshiba laptops.
  In disk management you can change the ability of the partitions but I n t think this is the best solution for you because the two partitions are filled with data.

• Question about hard drive Partitions

  My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

  How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
  This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

  I would like some advice before as I did try.

  >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
  That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

  This recovery is important for two things:
  -for the creation of recovery DVDs
  -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

  Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

  You have to understand how it works?
  If you have any other questions please let me know.

• Satellite 230cx: Question about HARD drive, memory and CD recovery.

  Can someone tell me if I can get a recovery for a 230cx disk? And what is the max hard drive that I have and RAM.

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Well, it is a very old unit. I think that it s about 8 or 9 years.
  However, I found the information that this unit has an internal memory of 16 MB and it of possible to upgrade the memory for max 144 MB (16 + 128MB)
  Also, this unit has been delivered with a 1.37 GB HDD part Nr.: P000229560
  I don t think you will be able to use a big HDD like 10 GB. The BIOS couldn't t recognize the HARD drive. Sorry but there is no information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

  The recovery CD, you must order the Toshiba service partner.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - resize hard disk partitions

  Hello, a little long but need the expert advice from you guys.

  Recently, I bought the laptop above with a 250 GB hard drive. It comes preinstalled with 3 partitions as follows:

  1.5 GB: hidden partition Toshiba System Recovery
  116 F: (C :)) System Partition of Windows Vista)
  GB 116: (E) Toshiba System Recovery Image file

  My understanding of pass briefly on these forums, the hidden partition houses the mini operating system that controls the real Windows recovery and Image file contains data extracted and installed on the C:? If I'm wrong please let me know!

  Anywyay, the problem I have is that I prefer to have all available space mapped in the C:, rather than on the E:. I tried to use the disk management utility to shrink and then expand the partitions, but it wont let me c (I guess it is the system partition, maybe?). I also tried to use the Diskpart.exe program, but to no avail.

  The plan I have is to create the recovery disks two DVDs of the utility from the desktop icon.

  Copy all the data recovery of E: (approximately 5 GB worth) off the coast of the laptop temporarily.

  Manually by using a 3rd party utility drive partition, delete C: and E: and then set the partitions c: = 224GB and E: = 6 GB.

  Via the recovery DVD, restoration of Windows Vista in the C:.

  Copy all the data recovery back on E: to nowdays fill it and keep it for any future recoveries from disk rather than the DVD.

  What I need to know is, is it as simple as that, or I'll run into trouble? HARD drive recovery utility still work the resized partition?

  If there are better ways to do or things to watch then please tell me how to on this subject. I would like to know if you guys did the same thing or have left as it came with 2 large partitions.

  Thanks for any answers in advance.

  Hello

  I think you can have 3 primary partitions.
  In your case if you want to create other partitions then you can choose the extended partition!

  Just for everyone here:
  Before you modify the partitions (C-system partition or E-recovery partition), you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  So if something goes wrong with you, HARD drive, system, either, you should be able to restore the operating system from the Recovery DVD!

  So before you change the partitions-> burn the recovery DVDs!

• Satellite L300 - Question about restore disks

  Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

  However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
  I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

  Any advice appreciated help.

  Hi tarajanes,

  To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

  Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  In case you get an error message: what message you get exactly?

• Satellite A100 - question about recovery disk

  When I bought my Toshiba laptop, I received a product with her recovery disk.
  At first, I thought it was the recovery of the whole Windows XP (OS which was preinstalled) but on the back cover of the case, he said only "Windows Office One Note"

  So this product for a recovery notes only?

  Yes, it looks like a recovery disk from Toshiba which would format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the operating system preinstalled together.

• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
  Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

• Satellite A300 - Questions about the second HARD drive Bay

  To the underside of the laptop, there is an empty Bay for a second HDD internal.
  It is in the lower left corner (the first internal hard drive is on the lower side right) and the Bay has a sata connector.
  The plastic cover of the empty Bay extended columns so nothing (not even a hard disk) can be positioned on the inside.

  Someone knows:
  -If the sata connector works
  -If I can connect a secondary internal hard drive which work together with the primary
  -Where I could order the support for the secondary hard drive (i.e. toshiba code)
  -Where I could order a plastic cover without extensive columns, bcz I want to break.

  If my question is not clear, I can upload a photo.

  Thanks in advance

• Satellite A50: Question about type RAM and HARD drive

  Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
  All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

  Here is all the information I found.
