• Satellite X 200-245 can I install a second HDD

  on the satellite X 200-245: can I install a second hard drive?
  is this possible?
  There is a place for him but no sata connection on the motherboard where can I find this connector

  No you can not install the second HDD because there is no connector on the HARD drive that would be impossible to connect the HARD drive to the mobo.
  And no, it of not possible to upgrade the mobo with this connector.

  The X 200 has two HARD drive bays because certain X 200 support 2 hard drives and some don t support.

  Your X 200 doesn't support 2 HDD

• Satellite A350 - how to install a second HDD?

  Hallo

  I have a laptop, A350-13I. The laptop has a slot to install a second hard drive, but there is no connector for it. Does anyone know what changes are needed to install a second hard drive?

  Hello

  The answer is quite simple: you can do anything!

  The reason you have a second slot without connector are that some models are equipped with a second HARD drive and other models not I think.

  The fact is that you can t add second disk of your laptop.
  If you need more disk space, you can use a larger HARD drive or external DRIVE for the data disk.

• How to install a second HDD in Stelllite P200D

  I want to install an SSD and move my HARD disk in the slot to the second HDD. I can't find any document how to install second HDD. Do I need special adapter or no matter what HW for this?
  best regards Frank

  Hello

  At the bottom of the unit, you will find two bays for HARD drives. Right?
  But a Bay does contain all the connectors? Right?

  At first glance, this might be a little strange, but the fact is that the different models of Satellite P200/P200D were available on the market with different motherboards.

  Some would argue a 2nd HARD drive but some don t units. But all models supports the same low coverage and some people think that a 2nd HARD drive would be possible, what's not.

  You have restarted your laptop after removing the VAP system?

  I have updated VAP on several laptops and have never noticed anything like that.
  After removing the VAP system new version was always installed correctly.
  I imagine that something is still in the registry.
  You can check it out and try to remove manually.
  Search all entries from value of Toshiba and remove it.

  If this does not all you can do is to install the new OS using recovery image. After the new installation remove VAP, restart your computer and install the latest version.

• Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m - boot problem: black screen with 3 beeps

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300 - 13 m, I bought a few weeks ago and in time, I had about 5 - 6 times the same rear screen when I tried to start the system. When he does this notebook gives 3 loud beeps (not sure what that actually means).

  When he does this I have to press the power button for 5 seconds and after several times doing this that it will show the Welcome screen toshiba... then sometimes it will automatically restart again and I get this annoying black screen again. Most of the time when I wait about 10 minutes and try to do as well the system starts as usual... Yes... very strange thing here.

  To be honest, I don't want to send the laptop for Toshiba once again, as I could use for my business...

  Then. What could this be? I've already updated the latest version of the BIOS.

  Thnx in advance

Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. "

• Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

  Hello.

  I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

  I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

  First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

  So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

  (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

  So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

  So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

  Please, please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

  Here's my explanation of how it works:
  Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

  As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
  -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

  HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

  Your questions:
  > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
  > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
  > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
  > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
  If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

  > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
  I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
  > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
  Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

  Follow these steps:
  -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
  -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
  -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
  -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
  -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
  This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

  Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

• Re: Microphone completely after installing XP on Satellite Pro P300

  My father bought a Satellite Pro P300 that I went down to Windows XP by using the included CD/DVD.
  Later, we found that the internal microphone is very quiet when we tried to use it.
  We need to yell into the microphone to get any sound at all, more like sounds random blip. Type the microphone sounds more scratch.

  All other sound effects are great. speakers work fine. We connected an external microphone to the mine in the laptop and video calls worked without problem, the problem is only with the internal mic.
  I saw that someone else has the same problem in the forum (link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33844&tstart=0]), but it does not say how or if this problem has been resolved.

  I would really appreciate if someone could give me the fix or a link to the fix to our problem other than plug in an external microphone.

  Hello

  Windows XP supports a microphone amplifier. Have you enabled it?

  Go to control panel-> Audio & Sound Devices-> advance tab press Volume button

  Optionally, select advanced controls

  Then you should see the volume of the microphone. Please set it to a higher value.
  In addition, press the advanced under the microphone button.

  Here, you can mark the micro amp.

• Satellite Pro P300 - how to get the original without media image?

  Hello

  I received a Satellite Pro P300 and there the for win xp recovery disk, I would go back to the installation of Vista pre installed if possible.

  The recovery on the hard disk partition is not available, so I guess, that it cannot be recovered. Is it possible to buy an original image?

  Liam is just that Win 7 is better than Vista OS.
  So if you have the ability to install Win 7 I recommend doing this instead of Vista.

  However, the Toshiba recovery disc contain only the Vista OS.

• Satellite Pro P300 - his axe with Win XP installed

  Starting with Satellite Pro P300 with VISTA everything was fine including the sound.

  For other reasons, I'm back to Win XP and noise started to sputter and example music was chopped.
  After you have installed the latest driver everything was going well again, at least for a few days.

  The same error came once again, starting with a chopped sound when starting Win XP. Reinstall the latest version of the driver does not help.

  Is anyone able to give me a hint?

  Thank you
  Benjamin

  Have you checked the sound settings in Windows? Maybe there's something wrong.

  You have installed the latest driver on the Toshiba site?
