Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - use of the HARD Drive Caddy

Hello

When I got my new laptop the first think I did was to install an SSD.

I don't usually use my optical Bay so I am planning to install a HARD drive enclosure.
Someone has already done this, and if so have you had any problems? Also, what are data transfer speeds?

Thank you

Fraser

I can't tell you if this extra HARD drive caddy will work in the Satellite Pro C50 series STRANGE Bay - A - 1 K 9 because that depends on the support of the BIOS and the controller.

I read about these updates several times in different forums and to be stone, sometimes it is possible, but in many cases, the BIOS does not recognize this drive caddy HARD and laptop does not start.

In the case where you have already tried these updates, please share the details with us!
I think it would be very interesting for others, if this update worked correctly.

  • Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E: update BIOS to use 160 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I recently bought a second had Toshiba A10 Pro model reference PSA15E-03U82-EN. I was not able to upgrade the disk hard the 40gig towards a 160gig that I have, but it seems that I need to have the original BIOS boot disk to do this.

    How do I keep it? Can I download it and create my own?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    If I understand you just upgrade you the BIOS to be able to use the 160 GB HARD drive in your notebook

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. Of course, you can upgrade the BIOS, but this will not help using the 160HDD.
    The BIOS supports a simple limitation of HARD drive and update will not help.

    The laptop supports load 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive. Maybe you can use also a 80 GB HARD drive but I think that the 160 GB is simply too.

    I hope I could give you clearly

    Best regards

  • I just have to install a new hard drive and Vista on my Toshiba Satellite pro computer laptop I gave up and damage the hard drive.

    I can't set up a broadband connection using the cable or wireless such that it does not recognize either. Also, the font is huge and I can't find anywhere to reduce only expand. I also have to install a Toshiba installation disc?

    If the installation disc includes the drivers for your motherboard, display and Wi - Fi then yes do you.

    You can also find drivers as follows. Go to the Toshiba support website and search for Windows Vista drivers for your specific model number.

    Toshiba support: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp

    If there are Windows Vista drivers can download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, starting with the card mother/chipset, SATA, USB drivers, Audio, LAN, Etc., and so on.

  • Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

    I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

    Hello

    It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
    If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

  • Satellite Pro A210 - error recovery after a new installation of HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a satellite pro 210 (bios v1.6) has died the HARD drive.

    I bought a new WD Scorpio Blue 250 GB HARD drive and ran the reinstall drive (I've done exactly this for a friends Equium a month or so back and all worked flawlessy!)

    Everything worked fine until the first re-boot, went through the usual stuff:
    Please wait a moment while windows starts for the first time
    Then a windows background, spinning slider with waiting message please, much HDD activity
    Then the sudden error:
    "Installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    Does anyone have ideas, what it might be?
    A google search suggests the sata bios settings, but I do not see in the configuration of the bios page.
    In my view, there is a new bios v2 by download - would this help?
    If so how can I install it when the computer does not start vista? Or any other suggestions?

    Thanks for reading.

    Cheers, Stephen

    Hello

    The SATA driver is not necessary if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk because the image on the recovery disk contains the SATA driver.
    So there must be other reason for it.

    In your case, I recommend setting the BIOS settings by default and start over once the recovery procedure.
    Maybe something went wrong during the configuration of the OS if second installation is worth a try

  • Satellite M30X - high use of the hard drive

    Once the connection in Windows XP (SP2), my computer toshiba laptop is very slow. The hard drive light is permanently on during 5 minutes. I looked in the Task Manager, but the CPU usage is low and RAM usage is low. There is no program which seems to use a lot of CPU or RAM.

    I actually disabled the pagefile to see if problems due to intensive use of the paging to the HARD disk file, but the problem persists. The laptop model is Satellite M30X-113.
    I don't know if it's related, but this problem is posed at the time that I have subscribed to a 256 MB RAM module and installed a 512 MB (making the total RAM 1024 MB).

    Did you buy compatible RAM module recommended by Toshiba (high quality product) or some piece of cheap hardware?

    By the way: have you also tried to wipe the HARD drive using the cleaning disc or as option Defragmenter?

  • Satellite 855D-S5120 - wouldn't boot efi file on the HARD drive

    I had no problem to boot from a usb port or a live cd in grub or gummiboot, but I was not able to do the same with the hard drive.

    The NVRAM settings are not persistent. I was able to set a uefi shell using the two Jean efibootmgr or significant, but they are reset to zero when you restart.

    I was able to initiate gummiboot out of USB by renaming the BOOTX64.efi file

    My efi partition is fat32 and marked as boot-able. I understand that some implementations of UEFI aren't complete implementations by the UEFI specification. which I think is the case here.

    Since the NVRAM apears does not have to be definable. I need to know where and what this implementation is looking for hard disk. Someone at - it the answer?

    Hello

    I'm not sure that understand your problem.

    You are installing a U/EFI OS on the HARD drive but is unable to do start?

    Of course, the installers to take care of the difficult things for me so I know little about these details.

    Hello Nuccii distinguished Professor

    Thanks for the help, yesterday to my external hard drive problem.

    can I ask you another tip?

    Plug-in two years my PC and I'm very happy, the internal hard disk is set up initially in several parts: OS (C, recovery (D and data (E.))) The latter (E, takes half of the useful space of the hard drive, and does that save as plug-in files.) Often saturated, I delete manually from time to time its content. Is it really necessary? can I mill of space otherwise (reorganizing the partition of en?)

    I assume you mean of personal data on the E partition files. You can delete files from time to time that you no longer need pay the speech of space either removing them or moving them to an external drive. This contributes to the performance of your system.
    Don't play with the size of the partitions so d 'avoid d' problems.
    Always make a backup of your data files from time to time if FT3 of your system.

    I assume you are talking about data files personal on the E partition.  You can remove files at any time that you need more free space by deleting or moving them to an external drive.  It does not help with the performance of your system.
    Do not play with the size of partitions in order to avoid potential problems.
    Always make a backup of your data at any time files your system failure.

  • Satellite Pro C50: Installation of Win 7 using the UEFI boot mode

    I want to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Sat Pro C50 (downgrade if you like - comes with 8 win), but I want UEFI boot, with GPT partitioning.
    I'm happy wipe existing partitions if that solved the problem.

    I have disabled _have_ Secure Boot.

    CSM boot and boot from Win 7 DVD works - but this is not what I want.

    I'm not convinced that it is a problem of Microsoft.

    Hello

    On Toshiba laptops, where the UEFI BIOS is available, it of necessary to disable secure boot and change the boot to the CSM mode in order to boot from external sources and install systems other than Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    Of the workarounds in the internet described the installation of Windows 7 in UEFI mode but I doubt that this will be possible on Toshiba laptops because the BIOS is different and modified for each series of laptop.

  • Satellite A200-1 s 5 - can I use a second HARD drive and RAID?

    Hi all

    Toshiba Satellite A200-1 s 5 is eligible to add a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as much I know - it might help?

    Thank you
    Denis

    If you have a SATA connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can use a second HDD. Check it!
    Then you can buy each disc HARD what you want with SATA port.

    The Satellite A200 doesn't have a RAID controller.

  • Satellite Pro L870-172 crashes whenever an update of the display driver is tried

    So I managed to restore my laptop back to factory settings, but every time I try and make a video driver update, either through toshiba drivers or computer AMD, it always freezes... Always.

    Has anyone else had this or something similar?

    On another attempt, I thought I would try to install just enough updates to me on windows 8.1. By selecting only the updates of windows x 64 they installed fine until I had to reboot and blammo... Back to the 0 xC0000001 error which means that it is fuck the new :-(

    There, can anyone help?

    What ATI / AMD driver version is preinstalled and which driver version you used for the update?

    By the way: I guess that victory 8 64-bit is still preinstalled. Maybe you need to update this to win 8.1 system 64-bit

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Wireless does not work after restoring from HARD drive

    After that restore disks for installing a new HD and use and to update XP sp2, the Wireless does not work and if the card is installed XP hangs then works in fits and starts. If the card not in place, not bad at all.

    Booting from a Linux CD, the card works perfectly! I assume that the driver is the problem. The wireless card is the original, an Agere MPC13A-20/R, with Toshiba p/n PA317U-1MPC.

    I have found some drivers Agere, but am not sure

    (1) if they are correct
    (2) how to install since the machine works in a way limited with the card in place.

    Any advice?

    Hello

    I checked the page of the pilot and the only available for Windows XP WLan driver is the driver of v.1.11.108 Agere.

    (1) just try to install this driver. If the driver is not correct or is not compatible, then windows will not install the driver and you will receive a notification. You just have to try

    (2) generally you may reinstall the driver from the Device Manager. Open network controller tree, and then you can reinstall the driver.

    But this is only possible if the windows started successfully

    PS: Have you checked the information of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    I discovered that you need to update several utilities if you have installed SP2 on this laptop.
