• Satellite P300 - upgrade to larger hard drives and 7200 RPM?

  I have a Satellite P300, model PSPCCA-01W073 (sold in Australia). Machine has two 320 GB of HARD drive. Yes, it's all up to 640 GB. I upgraded to Windows 7 OS and I have dual boot in to Linux Ubuntu.

  My job is editing/processing of multimedia files big and my hard drives are overexploited, so I now I am forced to exchange large files back and fourth with various USB hard drives. If I can replace the existing readers with much larger models, then I will go ahead and do it. .. But at this point, I'm out of my depth!

  I asked the support from Toshiba if P300 supports larger disks but they will not engage all the answers outside the original specifications. They suggest that I should try Toshiba users forum for more help.

  A kind person could tell me if it is possible to run drives 320 GB and the size. Also, I believe that the existing drives are 5400 RPM. My online store parts and pieces of local computer lists a choice between Hitachi, WD, Seagate and Samsung with sizes:

  (2.5 "/ 5400 RPM") 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB as well as sizes: (2.5 "/ 7200 rpm") 500 GB, 640 GB and 750 GB.

  So my second question; y at - it no advantage or disadvantage to the superior speed of 7200 RPM.

  TIA, your help should prevent to me yet an another expensive blunder.

  Hello

  Theoretically more big hard drives must be supported and should not be a big problem to use this HARD drive as the SATA controller is not limited to any size.

  Also the use of the faster HARD drive 7200 RPM should not affect the performance of the laptop even if this HARD drive faster produce more heat

  In my opinion you can upgrade to a larger and faster HARD drive

• Can satellite P300 - I connect to a TV and control?

  Can I connect my Satellite P300 to TV hdmi-cec and control the laptop with the tv remote?

  Hello

  Connecting via HDMI cable should t be a problem. Just buy a high quality cable and connect both devices. With FN + F5, you can switch between monitors.

  Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to control the laptop through TV remote. The TV remote is designed for your TV, not your laptop. ;)

• Battery plugged in but no load and battery life which is at 0%, but the battery is 89-90% charged.

  I have a laptop gateway that I bought last year.  It runs Windows Vista Premium (64-bit), and recently it has been send me load/battery indication problems.  The battery becomes a burden, but the battery monitor does not indicate correctly.  I watched it one day and it loaded up to 89-90% and then the battery monitor indicated 0% and not charging.  When I restart the laptop the charge indicates correctly around 89-90% and will show correctly when it is plugged in.  Once he reached 89-90% charge once again it comes back to life 0% battery and plugged in and not charging.  I tried the battery re - learn and when it reaches the level of 89% it stops and shows a surge of battery, but if you restart the pc it will state the cost of 89% and act normal.   I tried the procedure that I saw on this site earlier with the functioning of the battery all the way down and let the pc "die" on its own, but that still does not work.  Is there a problem with the software in the package of windows vista power control?  I saw at least another person having the same problem but have seen no response or resolution for this.  It is not the connection motherboard problem because the thing is load and works normally except when, if you try to load up once he reached that magic level, it indicates a 0% charge and plugged in and not charging.  I have signed up for a profile on this site and have been typing this message with remaining 0% battery Xantrex battery life reading.

• Satellite P300 question, shuts down and does not restart intermittently.

  My wifes p300 presents a very confusing and annoying problem. She is now on her 3rd replacement the last two having the same problem.

  I just turned off intermittently for no reason, a few times, it will restart but sometimes he used. So if I remove the battery and plug in the power that it restarts again however it then turns off again and do not restart unless the battery is returned. I think it may be a problem with the battery and the power cable as she said that the problem will only get worse if the computer will run on battery power for a while.

  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem or had any suggestions as to what could be the problem.

  Bill has soon

  Hello Bill and please describe your opinion on this subject. Reading your first post I ve also thought it should be overheating issue, but after this second announcement, I imagine that the food may be responsible for this turn off suddenly question.

  Please post the results of the investigation. It can be really interesting to know what the problem is here.

• Satellite P300-h-13: stops, restarts itself and then freezes in the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a laptop TOSHIBA SATELITE P300-h-13.
  When I turn it on, it starts before blocking immediately down and then it restarts itself (twice).

  Then it freezes in THOSHIBA default start screen.
  I can't access BIOS (says it charges but nothing happens).

  If I press the ESC key, I got a screen saying that the processor is detected and it gives me the ability to L2 cache, it says the RAM passed and then it indicates that the Bios system & video are overshadowed.

  I tried without the battery, but it doesn't change anything.

  Please help me solve this problem on.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  I don't know why this is happening and it's really strange question that should not happen on the new laptop.
  In such situations, you can simply try standard measures and see if it will work properly again.

  By the way: how old is your laptop? Have you noticed this behavior from the first day?

  In any case, try to enter in the BIOS somehow and set it to default settings. try to enter Advanced boot options using F8 at the start and check if the installation of operating system work (during the first backup of data, if possible).

  If nothing helps I would recommend not to do anything, but contact the nearest authorized service provider. Let them check your laptop computer and, if necessary, repair. Warranty will cover all costs.

• Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

  Hello.

  I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

  Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. After doing this, you can do with disk partitions you want.
  One day, if you want to reinstall Vista and have the factory settings, you can use this created DVD facilities.

  Please note: before installation of Vista drive HARD whole lance and ancient structure of the partitions is deleted. Data back up are required.

• Satellite click on Mini L9W-B-loading the battery/questions

  Hello

  I just got my Satelite click Mini a few days ago, and there seems to be a problem with the battery in the keyboard.

  When I got the laptop I have completely loaded him and everything was fine. I have often used the laptop and I noticed today that the main battery had fallen to 3%. I assumed that the power would return to the 2nd battery but it didn't and firm. Then I rebooted and powered it however the charge seemed to stall at about 40%.

  After checking the forums I thought that an update of the bios (at 1.7) it would solve however there no and other issues have marked up. The first battery charge very slowly and seems to stall at 70% the second battery is showing zero percent (before the update it is 100%), it indicates also that its plugged in and not charging.

  In addition, and I don't know if it's related, but I found it very hard to type in this forum that the screen is blinking and I have to wait after pressing each key. I had this post on another laptop.

  Any help would be appreciated, I'm afraid that this laptop has to return to the factory.

  Thank you very much

  After checking the forums I thought that an update of the bios (at 1.7) it would solve however there no and other issues have marked up. The first battery charge very slowly and seems to stall at 70% the second battery is showing zero percent (before the update it is 100%), it indicates also that its plugged in and not charging.

  As far as I know that the BIOS v1.7 has solved the problem with the keyboard dock charger status which was not recognized by the system of window correctly.
  You said that before updating the status of the battery was 100%. He was wrong.

  You should also know that the battery
  #1 refers inside the Tablet and the battery
  #2 refers to the battery in the keyboard docking station.
  The battery status can be checked in the Windows Mobility Center window.

  When you use the tablet with the keyboard dock, the second battery (battery inside the keyboard docking station) is the first source to power!

  If you use the keyboard for the first time, it might be possible that the battery is deeply discharged and the need to maintain the Tablet and keyboard dock to recharge for at least 24 hours.
  The tablet should be connected to the power adapter and moored at the keyboard docking station.

• Questions about the BIOS update and battery charge on Satellite M30 104

  Hey,.
  I try to update my BIOS, but it does not work because my battery won't charge any more, if a window always tells me that my battery is not enough. Yet, the reason why I'm updating my BIOS is that I read in a forum that might solve my problem of battery charging.
  I'm fairly certain that the battery is not the problem itself: I bought a new battery, it worked for 10 minutes once or twice, then again the load stop completely.
  If anyone knows what the problem is or how to update my BIOS, please...

  Hello Celia

  I am not a technician, but as far as I know, BIOS has nothing to do with charging the battery. In my opinion, there are some problems with e-procurement (electronic load). Sorry, but I imagine that you must contact the partner in your country.

  They have diagnostic tools and it can be verified. Please call and simply explain the situation.

  Good luck!

• Newbie question about the firmware loading and music

  Hi all.  Firstly a bit of background.  I am a former admin of system IT I got a C240 as a gift.  I tried to remove the music from Windows Vista section of the computer where the C240 is listed as a portable device.  Now, I can't get things to work quite right.  I seem to have the 8 original songs/5 albums that come with the device.  The number has doubled to 16, and half of them cannot play.  I'm not sure I want to do with this device, but I want to clear in addition to all the current music and load my own.  I tried to download the update of the firmware and it still just waiting and never took the screen "search for updates".

  Also, I have Media Player 11 and it does not recognize the unit.  So, how do Media Player to see the device, copy music to it and delete the prepackaged songs accompanying?  Any help will be appreciated.  I don't want to choose the format from the settings menu, unless it's the way to go.  Arrest me please make any more mistakes!  Thanks in advance for help a dummie MP3!  -Victor

  OK I got when I hit reset I changed the USB to MSC settings to automatic detection.  So I reset on MSC.  Now I see the Unit 11 MP so how can I delete and add music?  Thanks for bearing with me! -Victor

• Question about the CPU load and memory...

  Hello. I'm a South Korea network engineer.

  I am facing a problem with the DMP 4400.

  I made a web page to publish the DMP 4400, but she loading has been so slow.

  I don't know why it slows down, but it may be because of the memory or cpu.

  So, I need to check the CPU and the memory usage...

  is there anyone know control order CPU and memory?

  I searched documents and web site include Cisco, but I couldn't know.

  Jinsung salvation,

  This should give you the amount of memory on the device:

  https://:@:7777/get_param?p=sinfo.memory
  

  It should I think give you the CPU:

• 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.

• First life of load and battery

  So I played around a bit with my new Sansa Sport before full charge (settings and copy music). Now, my question is: how important is supported first before you do something with the device? What effect do not have a full charge first of all does the battery life these days?

  I'm not aware he does (in other words, it is a question) - but manf. tend to note that a device load first before using it, probably because it is unclear how much load a particular device can have the opening of the box and the manf. would not want the feeder down when for the first time in service or in the middle of some important initial task (for example, an update of the firmware).

• Buy a custom configuration of Satellite P300 online?

  Hello world

  I have a question. I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-260 3 years ago. Recently, it was covered with water and it costs a lot to fix.
  I also had a windows XP media center on it.

  The question is: can I buy a custom Satellite without Windows and the memory of the device model?

  I saw at www.toshiba.com is it low to order a custom configuration of Satellite P300, but it seems to work in the United States, but I live in Europe (Estonia).
  Is it possible to order the Satellite P300 with configuration custom in Estonia?

  You mean you want to buy the Satellite P300 without preinstalled Windows operating system and RAM?

  Boyfriend sorry but I don t think it would be possible

  Of course, I've seen some Satellite laptops which are supplied without operating system preinstalled, but this does not apply to all series. In addition all laptops are equipped with RAM and other internal devices

• How to restore Vista on old Satellite P300?

  Sorry it's a long.

  I bought a new P70 to replace my old P300 that came with Vista and I now want to give it a new facility for the children to use. The problem is that I had partitioned the disk and had tested the betta and the version RC1 of Windows 7 before its release and he also had XP, now I can't get on the recovery drive holding the 0 key and did not have the repair option on the splash screen advanced when using the F12 key. I know that the Recovery partition is still there because I saw it when using a disk partitioning tool before you make changes and I'm deleting it.

  After what I read I think that drive hidden (EISA Configuration) that holds the BCD, stored options for the 0 key and the menu key F12. I made backup discs when I arrived at the origin of the laptop and checked well records, but when I went to use it, they have been declared as corrupt so the only other option I had was the images I made with another program but cannot boot from the disc I made and I guess it's because of SATA drivers Win 7 could not be started or until what I injected drivers, just do not remember how I got them in the disk imaging.

  So, if anyone knows where the option for the 0 key is stored, and I assume it's in the BCD himself, someone know how to recover it or re - write? The other option I can think is how the recovery partition is enabled and try to do otherwise. My oldest son has a more recent P300, is it possible to copy the BCD and its player hidden files to start mine? The other thing is when you restore from the recovery partition you need a Windows product key or is already stored on the recovery partition because I can never remember having seen one and I'm not one for my new P70.

  Any ideas?

  After these modifications and tests with your P300, you will not be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility more. This works if the laptop has only factory settings.

  Now, there's only one way to install the original use of Vista recovery disks. I m afraid you didn't create these disks, right?

  Anyway, Satellite P300 is well known to me and my brother has the same machine. We updated with new SSD and installed Win7 on it. It works like a rocket. So my advice to you is to install Win7 on this machine. All the necessary drivers, the tools and the utilities that you can find on the download page of Toshiba - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  If you need help with it let me know.
  One more thing: the product key at the bottom belongs to the original version of Vista and it cannot be used for activation Win7.
