Satellite P850 138 - a non-visible memory and no HARD drive partition

Hello

I recently bought a Satellite P850 138 and loading up, I noticed that when that card said she had 640Go hard drive but mine is only showing the 570 GB and off that 540 GB available. on other computers laptop toshiba Ive got theres usually a partition, so I guess this must be why theres missing 100 GB.

But when I chose to view all folders of that backup partition has not always shown. Is it a fault with the laptop or is the partition hidden for just the idiots like me can not messing around with it?

The laptop was one given to nine and it works fine just worried that if I need to format the laptop and it reboot patients have problems and im starting to think it might be the wrong decision when buying a used laptop.
Help, please!

> it had 640 GB hard drive, but mine shows only 570 GB

The point is that your HARD drive has 3 partitions.
(1) small hidden partition that contains the Windows 7 repair files
(2) C partition for the system
(3) D partition for files image of Toshiba

So don t be worried, everything is ok.

  • Satellite P850 138 - updated graphics card is possible?

    My Toshiba Satellite P850 138 comes with an nvidia GT 630 M graphics card. I know to replace the graphics card (if it is even possible) is a long-term work... but can someone tell me if I CAN upgrade the graphics card and if yes, what options are available?

    Very often on this forum, we discussed on GPU, or replacement upgrade and you will find many topics with the same theme.
    You have a mobile unit and upgrade possibilities are very limited due to many different factors.
    Generally the upgrade GPU is not supported and you should not experiment.
    Nice article on this subject, you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    By the way: it must be fairly new laptop model. Why you didn t buy machine with more powerful and better graphics card?

  • Satellite P850 138 - left button of the touchpad works most completely

    My touchpad started acting strange.

    left mouse button has stopped working completely and the right hand one worked only intermittently, and whenever I clicked on legs, be it firefox, IE, Safari, or whatever it is in the menu at the bottom such as a folder bar or whatever it is she she closed (no im not not by clicking on the red X)

    Then all of a sudden after awhile he would all start working again. This has happened twice now.
    Restart the system doesn't do nothing there just suddenly starts and stops all of a sudden, but the periods for which it occurs seems to get more time.

    Also the icon of touchpad in the corner with the cross through it has decided to turn its self on a few days ago and found out that the touchpad was disabled on its own and figured out how to re-enable.

    I know this isn't a virus as ive run lots of different anti virus on my system and I was wondering if his time to restart the computer in the store and get a replacement as ive she was only 4 months old

    Its really annoying as im a photographer and rely on this laptop for editing phot o. can someone please help :)
    My model is satellite P850 138

    Hello

    My personal opinion, you should not replace this laptop until you tried not to workarounds.
    First you don t know if its software related issue.
    The point is that if its software delivers, you could solve it easily recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

    Please try to configure the computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery.
    Press F8-> choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

    If HARD drive recovery is not available, press F12 and check if there is a HARD drive recovery option.
    After the system recovery, make sure that the touchpad and other features of the laptop.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

    So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

    The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
    If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

    I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

    Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

    * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

    Hello

    I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
    But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  • Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

    I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

    I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

    And the help is very appreciated.

    Thanks and regards,
    Dinesh

    Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

    A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

    Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

  • Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

    Hi all.
    New here.

    Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

    Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

    Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
    If so, what is the limit?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Mike

    Hello!

    Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

    In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

  • Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

    PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
    Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

    I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

    Hello

    In General, you can change the size of partitions in Windows 7 disk management.

And why adobe cannot say that it was me who did the first activation?

    It won't matter because your copy of CS2 and serial number no longer works.  You need to acquire a special version because of the Adobe stop the activation for CS2 server and other products of this period.  The links below will explain more and also drive you to the download version, you must get and the serial number, you can use for this.
