• Satellite Pro C660 - 21(d): question about the partitions on the HARD disk

  Hello

  I just started using my new satellite pro c660 - 21 d

  My office has drive c, d, u, s
  C either windows 7, Vista D
  The drive U is 342 meg in size

  I didn't have the disk in two 230 gig drive so thoughtless narrowed C drive of 70 GB and D drive with 10 gig (it's the primary recovery partition

  I have now two empty partitions of 170 Gig (from c drive)
  and 214 Gig (from d drive)
  But windows will only allow me to add one as a disc of the user
  He says may not have more than 4

  The reason for being there is a partition of Active recovery without letter.

  I can't unshrink drive C or drive D then I went with 170 GB of unused space.

  I guess that a solution would be to lose the data disk 10 gig that contains the recovery software but then I don't have a backup.

  Suggestions as to what I could do to work around this problem.

  I am now under the Create recovery disks (2 of them) so maybe I could remove one of the partitions after.

  I don't know why he answered instead of edition, but if the recovery disc creation complete with no errors, I can remove the hard drive?

• Satellite Pro C660-1NQ does not detect the WLan network

  Hi guys,.

  We have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1NQ here that does not at all, detect the wireless network
  I checked the Device Manager and the wireless card does not show here.

  I tried scanning for new hardware, but nothing was found. I tried to turn the wireless off tension with the function and the keys F8 but not yet showing in Manager devices or any new hardware...

  Any ideas as to what I can try next?

  See you soon,.
  Ash

  Hello

  It seems that the laptop would support the Wlan Atheros 802.11agn card.
  Usually the Atheros Wlan card must appear in Device Manager as on the menu network cards.
  If it s not appear do not then I recommend that you install the WLAN driver which can be downloaded here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

  Choose the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter Windows 7 (32/64) 9.2.0.419.0 or newer
  I hope this helps to detect the WiFi chip!

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - difficulties in upgrading the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to update BIOS on my new Satellite Pro A300-1EA (PSAG9E-001001EN), requested by Tempro, since version 1.50 to 1.90. The system has completely frozen during the BIOS flash, after waiting for an hour, I decided to turn the power off and pray for the best. Thank God, everything works still, but the BIOS is always v1.50, not been updated. I now read so many posts on the forum about the update of the BIOS of marbled and am now very cautious about subject to any BIOS updates at all.

  My questions are: is there about this particular update and/or with the installation of InsydeFlash problems? The BIOS updates are usually all so difficult that they have better be avoided? What are alternative means for updating BIOS, hopefully less dangerous? Also, could there be potential damage to my laptop that is associated with this is BIOS flash a miscarriage I should know about?

  Thank you very much indeed!

  You can feel happy, my friend! :)
  I m surprised that your ROM module is damaged or something. In most cases, this occurs if the computer hangs during the update.

  Let me give you some advice. You should only update the BIOS if it of needed or if you have questions-problems with the laptop. You can ignore the messages of TEMPRO if your system is working properly. For example I have never updated the BIOS if my phone goes perfect never touch a running system ;)

  If not, follow the advice posted by Akuma before update you the BIOS to close all running programs, disable the AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.
  On my Satellite U400, I've updated the BIOS without problems.

• Satellite L750-201 - problem with update of the BIOS - preparation for Win 8

  I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
  I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

  I have downloaded the BIOS update file and run. I had several options. One of them was to make the update of Windows, and another was to create a boot CD to do at STARTUP.
  I created the CD and rebooted the machine with it. Everything seemed fine, but when the time came to Flash the bios I got the message about the battery must be greater than 10% and the power adapter is connected. If the BIOS update has refused to start.

  The problem is the battery was 100% or almost that I had just fully charged it. The power adapter is and powered. So whence the utility to update the BIOS get his info that the dough was less than 10%?
  I saw similar posts from other people, but the problem was usually that the battery was in fact less than 10% and that it was not charging. This isn't the case here.

  No matter, I thought, I can update the other sense through the windows.
  So I started the machine and took the Windows Flash utility. The system gave me the warning usual as planned and then rebooted the machine. He went directly in windows with the "Welcome" splash screen, and then stopped a few moments, then went to a black screen with just the pointer in the middle. I assumed it was something like the fairly active enjoy car light. However, after an age, nothing was. I could go back to the login screen by pressing the power button / standby machine and then turning it back on. My user has been locked, but I could shut down the computer and restart normally. Nothing serious happened. The machine starts very well and Windows does not normally, but BIOS remains unchanged.

  Anyone have any idea how to get the update of the BIOS to work? Seems I have to bypass the battery check or why BIOS thinks a battery of 100% is less than 10%.

  I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
  I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

  L750-201 satellite is part of the PSK6ME series.
  I wonder where you found the BIOS v3.60 for this device?
  The latest version of the BIOS seems to be v 2.80 - WIN

  

  So from my point of view you try update BIOS INCORRECT.

• Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1E - can I use the Bios for PSLB9E update

  Hi guys

  IM wondering if I can Flash my computer model toshiba laptop as in description with the following bios version

  PSLB9E Bios Version 2.20

  that is my current version

  PSLB1E Bios Version 1.50

  the question is - what the hardware is the same I'm sure that

  but will it work ok with this bios version?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The question is: why you want to update the BIOS?
  Is there something wrong?

  As you know, the BIOS update is a sensitive technique.
  My laptop works with old BIOS and I did not upgrade to update even if the new version has been released I didn't update because my camera is ok.

  However, it seems that the two series are similar, but I think there are still some minor differences besides the BIOS update should not continues if the wrong version would be selected

• Satellite Pro C850 - 1 H 8 - upgrade the BIOS CPU support

  Hi there are people.

  I'm wandering if there is a possibility of upgrade of the i5 3230 m which is currently in my Satellite Pro C850 - 1 H 8.

  Looking at the options available in the decision-making FCPGA988 and chipset Intel HM70 there seems to be a variety of the i7 available for use.

  The laptop supports processors with a TDP plu max than 35w?
  The bios supports all the CPU upgrade options?

  Cheers, Nick

  In this forum, you will find various discussions on the theme of CPU upgrade.
  I found this one:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=75073

  Paolo and Macius posted some information about the situation of CPU upgrade.
  As you can read in another thread, the CPU upgrade isn't supported. Updates can be made at your own risk, and no one can say if CPU supported by the chipset would be supported by the BIOS.
  Test it if you want, but it's at your own risk.

• Satellite Pro C850 - 1 M - update to Win 8.1 fails - error 0xC1900101 - 0 x 30018

  Hi all

  bought a new satellite Pro C850-1MX (PSCBZE 00M009GR) in December 2013. System works virtually unchanged to the State of delivery. Yet installed OpenOffice and Firefox, AdobeReader in most actual versions. And a updated driver for AMD GPUS to the latest version. No other changes made.

  Now I tried to upgrade to 8.1 via Windows-App-Store Windows. Download was made, run, reboot, installation of changes, preparation of devices--> restart, rollback to 8.0 with 0xC1900101 - 0 x 30018 error code upgrade.

  Searched internet solutions: Toshiba ISC
  -updated all the components Toshiba via TOSHIBA Service Station--> fact
  -(Lien: [http://www.toshiba.de/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/]): uninstall some components: esp. LAN/WLAN-driver.

  Hmmm... If I do I can't access to Windows App-Store to re-run the upgrade because I have no connection to the network. Stupid...

  -Why I'm updating a nearly unchanged system due to some driver-inflicted where I has not changed anything of the delivery status of can´t?

  Please indicate any tip/solution. Thank you!
  Mark

  This error message appears because of some incompatible drivers and tools that are already pre-installed on Windows 8.

  This problem has been reported several times here in the forum and has been resolved as indicated by user harrie_1 on January 12, 2014
  Look in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=74631

  Check that drivers must be uninstalled in Appendix a.
  [How update of Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 | http://support.toshiba.com/sscontent?contentId=4003162]

  + What is important to remove the internet connection. +
  + Only use to download 8.1 and then disconnect (also the Lan cable) +.
  + After Win start 8.1 for the first time do not connect to the internet. +

  + On another pc download first for 8.1 audio, realtek wlan and bluetooth drivers and driver display. +
  + Install and reboot after that when system is stable, you can connect to the internet and download the updates of windows. +

• Satellite Pro A60-221 - how to reflash the BIOS?

  Hello

  I was installing a new fresh OS on a Satellite Pro A60-221(PSA65E-02E03TFR), I wanted to take it seriously, so I tried to update the BIOS. I used the program given by Toshiba in a zip file: bios - 20070808110029.zip, the program is called: Osaka20V190.exe.
  I run it, in the end, the computer turned off, so I reboot it. Since then the computer do 4 beeps, 1 long 1 short 1 long anda the last short I think that the shutdown of the computer itself.

  So I think that I should have made a huge mistake (perhaps because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the zipfile whithout put on the desktop for example, stupid, stupid, stupid...), and my question is:
  Is it possible to Flash the bios to the default without having to start the computer? As in a motherboard, you can put a jumper between the two pins?

  If the answer is already in this forum, I'm really sorry to bother you, I searched in the pro A60 series but could not find.

  Best regards.

  Hi hyeud,

  > maybe because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the file zip whithout to put it on the desktop for example
  Yes, generally all the files of zip archive must be extracted first before starting the update, but now it s too late

  Such a reflash BIOS what you hear can only be initiated because on the Toshiba authorised service provider Web site, you can download a Windows based BIOS update.

  To contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Guys can you help you get rid of this problem. :)

• Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

  Hello

  on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

  Thank you
  Karl

  Hi karlS_1,

  Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

  You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.

• Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

  Hello

  I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
  Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
  would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
  A reboot cold was the only solution.
  I was told to replace the HD I did but the
  problem persisted with the new HD.

  I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
  At this point, the warranty period has increased.
  Frost started happening more regularly, and
  now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
  It starts and then try to boot from the network,
  because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

  At this point, I think I need a new system board.
  Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
  before?

  Thank you
  Ray

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the CD/DVD drive or the HARD drive?
  The laptop recognizes one of these devices?
  Have you used the devices recommended by Toshiba?

  in any case, this seems very strange and the dysfunction of the motherboard is not impossible

• Re: Satellite Pro L300 - how can I reset the BIOS password?

  I put the password on the BIOS and electric start and I forgot the password.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300.

  You must bring the laptop to an authorized service center to remove the password.
