Satellite Pro L650 - hard disk is not initialized.

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 and I am having some problems.

It all started a few weeks ago, I received the dreaded screen black death (windows could start, but then just came up with a black screen and a cursor. After playing well, I thought that a reinstall of windows would do the trick.

It worked, but none of my pilots have been installed... After much research, I found my Toshiba repair disc. I put in and went to fix it. At half way through formatting the drive, it came with an error, saying that he was unable to delete a specific file, it asked me to reset.

So I reset, and it came with a screen with "this disc is not initialized, Please initialize now."
So I pressed Yes, and it resets, it came with the same screen. and again and again.

So that's where I am. It is only a year old, and already got the replaced disk. I'm desperate difficulty, I don't want it to become a grammage of paper-dear...

First of all I m wondering why the message appeared saying that the disk is not initialized have you used the Toshiba restore for the OS installation disc or have you used any other Windows disc?

On the other hand, it might be possible that your HARD drive is malfunctioning, the cursor blinking in the upper left corner is a sign for this fault
So I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Use a tool like Drive Fitness Test, for example, it helps you to check the HARD disk
If errors will be displayed so the HARD drive needs to be replaced

    Hello

    It s very strange because this device is not very old, and as far as I know you can order all recover cd. Toshiba should always have a copy of the CD or DVD. I can t believe that it s is not possible.
    I would recommend asking EPA again or to call other ASP in Poland.

    The second possibility is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM, and then install the drivers set and tools of Toshiba.
    Such Toshiba things you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

    Hello everyone!

    I have a problem with my laptop. I have satellite L650 pro Windows XP and then install drivers and utilities hotkey. But the hotkey buttons do not work. (fn + f5 and others)
    What should you do?

    Hello

    I think that the installation of the Hotkey Utility is not enough
    As you can read in other forum threads you must also install Toshiba common Modules.

    So please check again the Web from Toshiba site and download/install the common Modules. Then retest FN keys.

    I hope it works :)

  • Satellite Pro L650-165: Texture does not load correctly some games

    I have a very strange problem where on some games textures on models of players do not load correctly.

    Looks like it loaded textures for minimum texture settings. Curiously, it seems only to influence the clothing, so I'll break down detail the faces and hands but bodies low resolution.

    All other textures loading correctly, all the effects look as it should.

    It happens on Call Of Duty: Black Ops, Half Life 2, Dead Space and Fallout: New Vegas. But this does not happen on Crysis, Crysis: Warhead, Bioshock 2, Gear Of War, and the demo of Just Cause 2.

    Anyone know of a solution?
    My drivers are up to date.
    Is my broken graphics card?
    I have to wait for Toshiba to release an updated for the ATI 5650 driver?

    Hello

    I don t think that your graphics card could be broken because it doesn't play other games.
    Maybe you should check the graphics settings in the game.
    You can change the graphic details game options.
    I recommend also check the forums of unique games in most cases you can find other people who could provide some tips.

  • Satellite Pro L650 - 1 CG-output HDMI not working not

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 - 1 CG, Intel i3 - 350 M, ATI 5650, 4 GB RAM, 320 HARD drive

    When I connect my laptop to my HD Toshiba TV and select 'Connect to a projector', all I get on the TV is a black screen.
    Catalyst Control Center can 'see' the TV and I can adjust the options of resolution for both screens, but no matter what options I try, I can't the TV to show a picture / sound.

    The TV is obviously detected SOMETHING, because it goes from a blue screen to black. Device Manager, I can see the HDMI Codec but even though he says he is activated, I can't put it as default. It says below that it's 'unplugged', and when I run the HDMI control program, it says "To use the HDMI control, you must activate it".

    I have all the latest ATI drivers / sound, as well as virtually all the drivers up to date there. In addition, there is nothing wrong with the cable or my TV, my PS3 is using the same connection.

    Hi were reluctant,

    Normally, you can switch between monitors or switch to an external monitor only when you press the FN + F5 key combination.

    In addition, I would recommend turning on the external monitor first, then switch on the laptop. You can also choose the right channel to HDMI in on your TV. Then, press FN + F5 to switch to your TV.

  • Questions on the Satellite Pro L650-167

    Hello

    I have a few questions on the Toshiba Satellite Pro L650-167 I'm about to buy. It is the model with an i5 430 m, 4 GB drr3 and ati 5650.

    (1) will be the laptop computer motherboard supports upgrading to a processor i7m as the 620 m for example? I find these on ebay for good prices. Also can you truly open mobile phones L series to replace the processor? You can for example of dell. I know that my warranty will be cancelled. Finally all the i series cpu is all 35w so do not supply problems?

    (2) can easily exchange you the hard disk of the L series, or is it not available?

    Thank you very much!

    Here is my review for you:

    1
    Update CPU is not supported and I don t think that everyone here will be able to provide some specific information on this subject. Any laptop can be opened and removed so it shouldn't be a problem, but if it's reasonable the decision is another matter. If you need laptop with more power than pay a little more money and buy cell phone more powerful, but don t change anything and have it with full warranty time.

    Generally the design on most Toshiba laptops is the same and access the HARD disk is not complicated. All you have to do is to remove the HARD drive cover placed at the bottom. Then you can remove the original HARD drive and possibly improve with a new.

  • Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

    Hi all!

    I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

    I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

    pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

    As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

    Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
    2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
    3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
    It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

    Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

    To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
    After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

    invisible 1.46 GB, primary
    C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
    E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

    ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
    2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
    20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
    21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
    Empty remaining 54 GB space

    More on Vista worked properly!

    Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

    2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
    20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
    21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

    during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

    HOWEVER:
    ========

    If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

    invisible 1.46 GB, primary
    C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
    E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
    2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    Empty remaining 54 GB space

    This means:
    VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
    Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

    Issues related to the:

    Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

    Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

    Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

    Is there a solution for this problem?

    At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

    Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

    Girard

    > Have you ever see similar behavior?
    NO.

    > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
    I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

    As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
    An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

    That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

    However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

  • Satellite Pro L650 turns off after start; DC In and Power LEDs blink on stop

    A friend Satellite Pro L650 having worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden turned itself off. Now, at startup, it lights up normally for about 10-15 seconds before turning off suddenly. Turned off, the DC in white/blue LED and the orange Power LED Flash on a broad set of intervals of approximately one second. This extinction happens if I leave Windows or press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

    I guess this blinking is intended to serve as a kind of diagnostic code, but I have yet to track down what it means. Can anyone help?

    To avoid confusion, power without the product stack the same, sudden stop experience, except the two LEDs remain solidly lit this time. With or without battery, trying to turn on again immediately after that a shutdown produced no response at all. Remove the power cable and immediately it reconnect again and turn then produced a brutal power off, but in less than 5 seconds. More wait between attempts to market seems to give a little longer powered on State, but without fault, the machine turns off just suddenly. With its short time 'turned on' we are talking, there cannot be any kind of thermal protection?

    I had an old Satellite L450D lying around that uses coincidentally the same AC PA-1750 adapter, but use it made no difference. Of course, the battery does not have the L650!

    The only previous numbers, that I am aware of this machine have been intermittent case of Windows reporting "Plugged in, not charging", but as my friend use it exclusively on the network, it was not a problem.

    Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated...

  • Upgrading RAM on toshiba satellite pro l650

    I have 2 toshiba satellite pro l650. first of all an i did a RAM upgrade 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz Kingston) 1 year ago and work. Now, I would like to upgrade to the other laptop. I bought 'Impact HyperX HX316LS9IBK2/8 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz CL9 SODIMM 1.35v DDR3L' but do not work!

    I presume that there is compatibility problem. Best thing you can do is to use two identical RAM modules.

  • Satellite Pro L650 - 1 L 4: battery will be discharged when the laptop is disconnected

    When the laptop is unplugged it will pay the battery. About 44% within 24 hours.

    Of course, options like BIOS "Wake we Lan ' and something like which are completely disabled.

    Hello

    Please check if the wake-up on LAN is also disabled in the properties of LAN card (Device Manager-> LAN card-> properties-> Advanced tab).
    I also recommend checking the WLan card as well.
    Please also check if attached USB devices don't lose the power of the battery.

    But also a malfunction of the accumulator may be possible... so it has to be checked also...

  • Satellite Pro L650-1QG: incompatibility of keyboard key

    Dear audience,

    I am not satisfied by the keyboard of my Satellite Pro L650 1QG I5-4 settings.
    Before I had a Satellite S5200-701 that has worked well for almost 8 years after, I replaced almost any critical component to half-life.

    Finally the controller was unserviceable and last week the laptop worked no more after this problem has resided for six months but the laptop did not fail until last week prompted me to install and use my new laptop.

    I felt very comfortable with my old laptop and its parameters.

    However, the new laptop has an inadequate setting of its keyboards.
    "ALT GR" is replaced with my old keyboard and hold the 'CTRL' key has exactly the same position as on my old laptop so that it is possible that I write a 'CTRL-Q' when I tried to type 'ALT GR Q' or '@' which happens quite often and stops the program (EXIT).

    How can this problem be solved. Is it possible to get a fix? Either by replacing the CTRL key with a deaf person, or changing the configuration of the computer?

    I'm not sure I can adapt to this problem from any 'normal' keyboard is different and similar to my old laptop and work with a USB keyboard is no solution!

    Thanks, Headlost

    I think that there are not many options for you you used a keyboard that has supported a different layout, L650-1QG supports the 102 (Euro) A4 + 10key flat standard black keyboard that can be different from the old Satellite 5200-701 keyboard.

    Don't know if you can replace the keyboards because of the measures so maybe one and the only option for you is the use of the external USB keyboard that would be similar to Satellite 5200 701 keyboard

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro L650, model No.: PSK1KA-00Y01E running Windows 7 64 bit.
    This laptop does not pick up often after mode "Eve".

    Can anyone offer suggestions on how to fix this?

    What's happening:
    When the computer sleeps, either by pressing the sleep button, or by closing the lid, this seems to work very well.
    After a minute or 2, I try to get the computer goes through the lid opening, or by pressing the power button. Sometimes, it works correctly.

    Most of the time the lights white led at the front displays for a few seconds and then started. Then, press us the power button and, often, the computer starts and says that Windows has been shut down incorrectly and then completely restarts for a new session.

    Sometimes the computer does not start, and it must cut off the power, then press the power button, which then crosses a full restart of the computer for a new session.

    Hello

    > After a minute or 2, I try to get the computer goes through the lid opening, or by pressing the power button. Sometimes, it works correctly.
    This means that this problem is not always, but sometimes only and it of not possible to replicate this.
    In this case is not easy to find a good solution for this

    > We have installed the latest version of the bios (2.20) a few weeks ago, and the problem persists.
    > Is it a driver problem or a hardware problem?
    In my opinion, it could be a software problem. I mean that the problem could be related to corrupt the OS Win. Maybe the registry is confused upward. Usually, if the laptop is in hibernation / sleep mode, by pressing power button should the reactivation of the system in this mode and not shut down the laptop.
    So maybe this is s question OS

    If I understand your message, you have just updated the BIOS but didn't try the recovery procedure. Well well, for checking if the problem hardware or software s, you should get the phone to the factory settings.
