Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade
I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).
However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).
It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications
I updated the OS to Win 8.1
The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.
I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.
There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.
After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.
It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!
It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
-"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
-"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".
I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access
At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around! Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB! I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state: You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition. Suggestions please? Hello I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article. You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version. So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable. Your comments would be appreciated Tags: Toshiba Satellite U940-100 - replace the HDD SSD Hello I want to change my Sat U940-100 by a SSD HARD drive. I think it has to do with het SSD of 32 GB, which is already inside? Thanks in advance Dag What do you mean it won't? What did you do exactly? In my opinion after Exchange of HDD with SSD, you must install the original recovery image and start using your laptop with the 'settings '. Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it. According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows. I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS. Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...) Thanks in advance. Best regards Nice. ;) Satellite 1900-303: changed the BIOS settings, and now I can't boot from the CD drive Can anyone help, I inadvertently changed the BIOS settings, and now I can't get the CD player to boot the pc back to the default settings, Windows xp seems to work ok as is the cd player. Derek has soon Hello Derek Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive. Satellite P70 - A01D Win8 Wi - Fi is de-energized frequently P70-A01D satellite Just brought this D/Smith. WiFi connects very well. I then reconnect (which it is) and all goes well... but only for a while. I'm 3 meters away from my router. The signal strength is not the issue. I can't find this notebook on the Australian toshiba site (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support) for the specific drivers for example BIOS WLAN to toshiba. The drop down menu lists the brand, model, but when I try the operating system drop down it won't put any OS. So I can't find the drivers at all. Help! Hello The series of the laptop is brand new on the market and I think that this is the reason why drivers are not yet available. However, I think you should try other workaround solutions to check what's wrong with the WiFi connection. First of all it would be interesting to know if write-offs of WLan happens only through the power of the battery or too plugged in? If this happens only using battery power, WLan cuts could be related to WLan energy saving. Second, you need to test if you can use different standard WLan (802.11 A/B/G/N) Last but not least check if the problem is related to the encryption settings. Satellite P70 - Has: monitor the profile not available/unable to define other profiles Hello. I have branch last week a new notebook from Toshiba (P70-A-11 (q) which has 8.1 Windows preinstalled on it. It seems that the device has a problem with the monitor profiles. That's what I see: left (Lightrom), right (Irfan) [dyed Yello | http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh565/rockreactor/Clipboard05_zps092c5501.jpg] Unfortunately, I tried to add sRGB on my profiles but even after rebooting, I didn't see any change. I know that by selecting a profile sRGB is not a good solution and I should rather to calibrate my monitor. Toshiba can support such a problem under warranty? Thanks in advance Hi mate I recommend you to check if the option + use Windows display calibration "+ is activated." You can also go through the built-in feature of Windows of calibration ("Calibrate display" button in the tab advanced) Satellite Pro P200: Change the size of partition in Vista? Is it possible to adjust the size of the partition after installing? I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a shared about HARD disk: C: Vista partiton - 17 GB of free to 56 GB I know that the data reader is used by Vista to contain information of recovery. However, I would like to know if its possible to reallocate some of its spare production capacity at the Vista drive without compromising the recovery feature? Of course, you can change the size of the partitions after Vista installation. You can change this in the Vista Disk Manager s Here, you could choose the existing partition, and then you could reduce the amount of partitions. This free volume can be added to another partition, or you can create another partition. Satellite P10: Question about the limits of upgrade of RAM and HARD drive What are the limits to upgrade my laptop Satellite P10? Currently, I use 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512) and I still have the original 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive. I'm mainly interested in upgrading my hard drive to at least get a 7200 RPM 100 GB disc. Better would be one of the ones 24 hours server as Hitachi HTE721010G9AT00, I have just turned off my computer. Which one to take and are there limits (BIOS) (keeping in mind that there will be 200 and even the 250 GB drives next year)? RAM: should I put two 200pin SO-DIMM 333 or 533 or should not change at all as it works very well and stabil now? Hello In my eyes you should follow the guidance of Toshiba line and must use the memory modules that are recommended in the user guide. But if you can also try to test with 400 Mhz or 533 Mhz. I think that each dealer notebook or memory could do that. I think the BIOS might be able to handle the hard drive with capacity of 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB, Bus Master IDE with ultra DMA 100 synchronous J: present in DiskMgr - DiskMgr 'Change' NO drive letters Win 7 Hm Prem + HP (Pocket Drive) PD3200x (AU186AA #ABA) BkUp DRIVE w / HP SureStore App. SureStore App worm. 1.0.1.15 (08/04/2010) Dnloaded yesterday but NO HELP.

Satellite P855: cannot change the brightness of the screen under Linux Hello, guys... and girls :)... I bought my PC Toshiba laptop fourth - P855, there windows 7 pre-installed, but I'm a fan of Linux, so I installed Kubuntu 12.04 on it and have the dual boot menu at startup... And I have a very annoying problem - I can not change the brightness of the screen somehow, so keep it up... for the brightness function keys do not work, and the slider for brightness change anything... So, can you help me? ... I tried many things, tried different distributions also, but on none of them, I am able to change the brightness. And also - I tried the same distribution on the different laptops, and it works great, even from Live CD, no installation... I was able to change the brightness on previous phones I had... so why is this one so well done for Windows? ... > It works on windows, so I guess that's not the hardware problem. It's okay is not hardware problem, it looks like a bug in the Linux kernel or driver problem. Given that Linux is not officially supported on Toshiba laptops, I would recommend checking the support forum for the Linux distribution you use check also system Linux bugs for a possible solution on some linux support pages.

Then I start the same dance.
All our other WiFi devices are thin (2 iphones, 2 Ipads 3 laptops). No dropouts at all.
I ran Windows updates up to what there are not left to install - so current it.
I used Device Manager to "Refresh" the wireless NETWORK card, but it reports that my drivers are already later.
Generally you can change it in the Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab

When I look at the pictures on a unmanaged profile software, the images seem fine.
Once I have import them to Lightroom or Photoshop, images get a yellow tint.
From what I noticed the operating system doesn't have a defined profile at all before.
The question is why the profiles do not take any effect on my laptop screen, no matter which one I pick.
Even there are some conflicts with the Intel display driver?
I think that it is not my responsibility to get a screen totally not calibrated, or at least a portable computer without some suggested profile.
> Toshiba can support such a problem under warranty?
First of all guarantee covers any software problem. The warranty only covers hardware issues.
But I don t think that this could be a software problem. I guess it's just a matter of settings.
-Open the color management Panel.
-Go to the Advanced tab.
-Click on "change the system's default settings...". »
-Go to the Advanced tab in color management - system default settings dialog box.
-Turn on "Use Windows display calibration" and click Close.
-Now go to the devices tab, change the profiles it and click on 'Set as default' as usual.
