Satellite Pro L670 Windows using MORE storage than the MAX I put pictures!

I have a strange problem, at least it seems strange to me!

After problems with my last laptop under Vista where space excessive was used by phantom memory, I immediately checked the set up on my new Pro L670 of Satellite running Win 7 64 bit. Pleasantly it was set by default at a MAX 10 GB setting that was very much like the HD 500 gb, however a few days later I found that a few GB of space went so checked again at the vssadmin to find he was using 12 GB even if max was still 10 GB!

I ran a command to resize to the size to 10 GB max, which immediately reduced the used space up to about 8 GB, but a few days later he was back to 12 GB!

How can this happen?

Today, I checked in "System Protection" of the control panel that has been repoorting that only 4.5 GB used even if vssadmin list shadowstorage reported 12 GB! I have reduced the MAX space by using the slider in "System of Protection" to 6,99 GB and see if Windows supports any notice this time.

Does anyone have a similar experience?

Hey Buddy,

Why is it a problem that 12 GB will be used for the protection of the system on 500 GB HARD drive?

  • New Satellite Pro L670 - 14 M turns on if the charger is plugged?

    Hi all

    New to the forum so grateful for any help on this matter.

    I bought a brand new laptop Satellite Pro L670 - 14 M last week. Now it works fine up until today. The last time that I used it while just running the battery was Monday night. I was working on the laptop, send email etc. today, and I decided to change rooms. For some reason, I still have to discover that I disconnected the charger from the wall (instead of simply unplug the charger from the laptop) so that it was plugged into the laptop and the laptop just turned off much to my shock. It was sparking that I saw the decision-making that I removed the CAP, but now the laptop lights not unless supply current is connected. If I unplug the charger, the computer does not illuminate.

    Now, my first thought is I (crossed beams) killed the battery, but the strange thing is, when the laptop is plugged in and turned on and I'm on my screen and I click on the battery icon in the taskbar it States 94% available (plugged in, load)

    While I wait for some answers I hope I shut down the laptop and leave the charger plugged in to see if the battery has loaded more than 94%

    Hello

    I think that the BIOS update would be worth a try in your case. Take a look at the Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    But before you start the update: make sure that you are logged on as administrator and close all running programs. Unzip all files from zip archive first.
    After update successful BIOS load default settings in the BIOS.

    Are you using the original Toshiba battery and AC adapter or they are 3rd parties gone?

  • Satellite Pro M30: new HARD drive - what is the max capacity?

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 is 4 years old with a 60 GB hard drive (IDE).
    I would like to replace the hard drive with a bigger. What is the best? (BIOS version 1.70, Windows XP Pro SP 3).

    I would be happy not only to get the answer to my question but alos to where I might find the answer myself.

    Thanks and greetings

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop is equipped with an ATA-100 IDE / ATA-6 HARD drive controller.
    In this case, you will need to use the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.

    I know with certainty that this notebook would support 80 GB HDD, but generally a larger HARD drive should also be possible because the controller is able to manage the 48-bit LBA.
    The 48-bit LBA can handle hard drives of more than 120GB.

    In my opinion, you can try a 120 GB and also 160 GB HARD drive should be possible.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - error messages from storage during the shut down

    I use Office XP, Office 2003, Adobe Acrobat 7.0, internet explore, copernic search machine and some other programs. The Task Manager said after a complete reinstall (recovery CD Toshiba) with about 60 process.

    Now, I got to 71. I've updated the LAN driver, use a norton security system, all inclusive Windows XP update
    and however - only 2 days after complete reinstallation I am facing once again error messages, which indicates that a process could not put storage.

    Hotline or an engineer on the Toshiba site could help me on the issues. Hardware (RAM, hard disk) will have been controlled and that okay.. In addition to the error messages when stop I also got the phenomeonon this laptop is not stopped completely and was for hours (blue screen indicating that the computer stops) until I turned off with the key for 5 seconds.

    What could be? I had a few other laptops before and I ran identical programming on them - and I have never had these error messages.
    I checked the task Mgr before stopping and no process was running - however this error messages that a program cannot be put in storage rises.

    Hello

    For me it of clear. You have installed so many applications, and some of the background process may be completed when the laptop stops.

    For me its amazing how many applications are running in the background.
    You write something about 71! I also installed many applications, but on my background portable 40 processes are currently running and for me it a very high value.

    I think that you should check you msconfig (type msconfig in the run window) option and check the background processes that are not important. Turn off also automatically load it at initialization of the laptop.

    Unfortunately, but there is no other solution.

  • Satellite Pro L670-18F - pilots missing after updating BIOS

    I have a Satellite Pro L670-18F and I recently updated the BIOS to version 1.5, recommended by the site, but now my internet speed is VERY slow and I have some devices in the Device Manager without drivers related to the bios (from Googling) and so I realized that the bios has been a problem.

    Does anyone know this laptop came with to downgrade the BIOS version? Also, if I reinstall windows will I receive a new bios version or will it would not affected?

    Hey,.

    Did you download and install the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop? Satellite Pro L670-18F belongs to the series of PSK3FE AFAIK, so have you chosen BIOS for this series of model?

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. Just press F9 key if you are in the BIOS Setup.

    If you reinstall Windows, the BIOS will not be affected. BIOS and Windows are different, you will always have the latest version of the even you change your operating system.

  • Satellite Pro L670-16Z - XP installation after using Windows 7?

    Regards to all forums. I'm new here.

    Next week I should get a new pc, * Satellite Pro L670-16Z *. I have a few questions.

    * 1. * If, during some weeks, use my computer with Windows 7, after that I can downgrade to Windows XP?

    * 2 if I downgrade to XP, you can reinstall Windows 7 new?
    Thank you for the replay.

    If you want to reinstall Windows 7, you must first create the recovery disk. There should be an icon on the desktop. Use good quality DVD discs since those of poor quality can cause errors during recovery.

    To install XP, you buy XP in a store (which may be difficult).

    You can run XP in Windows 7 Professional or higher using a Virtual Machine.

  • Satellite Pro L670 - battery - more control

    Is it possible that I can have my laptop plugged in with the battery not charged inside? In many laptops, for example my Dell Latitude E6500, there is such an option.

    I don't see a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670, but there may be some software? I have not found anything like this until now.

    Sorry for my English.

    On Toshiba laptops, you can use the standard power settings available in options power and additional power options are available in advanced in the tool of Toshiba Power Saver, power options but there is no option for something like this.

  • Vista drivers for new Satellite Pro L670 - 14L

    So I have been serching for a laptop of decent game and found: Toshiba Satellite Pro L670 - 14L to be a good combination power/price
    but after reading some reviews, I discovered that many people's complaint that the toshiba drivers are not updated.
    that seems to be true because the latest drivers for my P300 with 4500 m are 2008!

    So, I checked for L670 Vista display drivers and did not find one! Even for Win7 do not seem old already,
    is that mean Toshiba is not compatible Vista more? I have to use windows 7 only?

    I can see in the specifications of the laptop your laptop came with WIN7 64 BITS HOME PREMIUM.
    Can you confirm this?

    Why are you asking about the Vista drivers if you got the new OS to Win7. You want to use Vista or what?
    I want to say Win7 is much better than old Vista OS so I put t understand what you exactly want. To use Vista or you ask here for more recent WIn7 display driver?

  • Satellite Pro L670 - size of the Excessive recovery partition

    Hello

    New to this forum I have just bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite Pro L670, is great so far, but I have a question I'd like to solve.

    It has a 500 GB hard drive, which will be more than enough for some time yet, but I'm not satisfied with the way it is partitioned, usable space is divided into 232 C: and 232 GB D: that has the data folder HDDRecovery on it. Now, I know that I can still use the partiition for data, but I prefer to keep all my files in one place and the usual locations of Windows on the C: drive.

    What is the best way to recover all my hard drive space, Windows allows me to shrink the D. partition, but cannot extend the C: partition into free space created as the recovery folder is in the way. Thought copy output folder then recreate a smaller partiiton D: but he did not like me trying to move the folder either!

    ID of burn recovery DVDs can I safely delete the D: partition? I prefer to keep the disk but with a bigger drive C: is the highest priority!

    Congratulations to all

    Steve

    Hi scoobasteve,

    > What is the best way to recover all my hard drive space
    There is no better way. There are many options for the creation of new partitions because some people prefer a single partition, other people using a lot of partitions.

    Don t worry folder HDDrecovery!

    For example, I installed all my programs/games on the first partition C: where I installed Windows as well. This partition uses 50% of HARD drive space.
    Then I have a second partition D: with HARD drive recovery record. He s using the other 50% and on that, I've stored my files like photos, videos, music, documents, etc. No program, but all other files.

    In my opinion that s ok because I have to run HARD drive recovery, only the C: partition is removed. My important files are still on the D: partition after recovery of HARD drive. In addition, each week, I create a backup of all files on D: partition wait folder of HARD disk recovery. That's why I use Acronis True Image, it records the image on an external DRIVE connected via USB drive.

    Then why delete disk HARD recovery file?
    Of course, you can remove it but create the before recovery disk! After you delete the folder, you are not able to do this more!

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 - Windows could not start, how to recover?

    I hope this is the right forum to display this property (if not, please let me know where I should post this) and nude w / a beginner like me. Any help or direction will be appreciated.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-160 is more than a year. I have not used a lot lately, because I usually use my netbook computer for day to day stuff, but the Toshiba contains some files I want to see lost. That's the message that came when I turned on my laptop for the last time:

    "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    3. click on "repair your computer".

    If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data. "

    Usually, I store all my software as a whole but I recently changed from home and for the life of me, I can't find the Toshiba recovery system disk. Even if I did, however, which would mean losing all files on my computer?
    My question is, is there a way to fix this without losing all data? Should I first try to save the data somehow and then solve the problem? And finally, how to solve this problem with/without the recovery CD?

    Thanks in advance. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
    PS. This look is like a virus? What is a windows update that has corrupted some files?

    Hi monstarika,

    You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and boot into safe mode?
    If so try also to start the recovery of HARD drive if you choose fix my computer. If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can use this feature.

    If this work of t doesn't and you don t have the recovery disc, you can order directly in an enw one of Toshiba. That s no problem because you can order it online here:

  • Satellite Pro L670-103 screen is dark - external monitor ok

    Hello

    Screen goes black in my Satellite Pro L670-103 while playing games. It is not completely off, but very very dark.
    System is activated and works while its happening. No flickering, changing colors.
    On the external monitor (TV via HDMI) everything works fine (so I guess that the GPU is very well).

    The beginning I had to restart the laptop and screen was once again but now it does not work and I have to wait a few more hours a sound goes on again just by itself (im leaving laptop on).

    I only use the approved oryginal drivers.
    System Windows 7 pro 64
    I guessed it might be the display inverter, but someone from the point of laptop repair told me that because my screen is RUN there is no converter and problem is with the screen itself.

    I spent hours reading various forums and UPS has been my best guess.

    Post edited by: Cezar_1

    Hello

    I think that its problem of converter FL.
    The FL inverter controls the backlight of the internal display.
    I think I get m with my suggestions because the external monitor looks ok.
    So it may not be a driver issue not a GPU problem

  • Which hard drive Solid State for Satellite Pro L670?

    I have a Satellite Pro L670, I need to configure for presentation and having to re - load operating system anyway.

    Rather than write the existing drive too much, I thought that it would be best to get a second to adapt instead.
    Replace the current (obsolete) rotation drive with a solid state, it seems to me the best way to go.
    Has anyone equipped with a hard drive to a Satellite Pro?

    For budget reasons, I plan to go for a capacity of 120 GB that will be enough.

    However, I've yet to discover at Toshiba they could recommend. Anyone else gone this route?

    Hello

    Theoretically, any SATA SSD drive should be compatible because the laptop supports a SATA controller.
    But in some cases, it might be possible that an SSD would not be treated properly. In such cases, SDD drive manufacturers provide different firmware updates

    So before buying an SSD drive check the support pages of the manufacturers of SSDS for more details would perhaps have a firmware update
