• Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - how to install a second HDD?

  Hello

  I would like to install a second hard drive to my Satellite Pro P300-1F1.

  I would like to know if I need a "cellar" special to set the hard drive inside the Bay? Where could I get such a thing in Germany (near Cologne)?

  On the inside of the drive Bay cover HARD are four plastic pins that are so long that it is impossible to close the cover when a hard drive is built in.
  What I have to just shorten or do I need a new cover or pins work like a kind of attachment?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Is there a connector from the HARD drive in the second span?

  If this isn't the case, then you can not install a HARD drive in any case. The second span is because he shares a common design with models that have a second HDD of the factory.

• Satellite A200-1GH, remove the additional HARD disk cover

  Hello

  I bought a new HARD drive and I want to put it in place of additional hard drive, but I can't remove the cover... :-(... I was remove two screws and nothing...
  Can you help me please?

  Respect...

  Stand by. If I understand you right, you want to add the second HARD drive. Am I right about that?
  At first, I must say that this is not possible due to lack of connectors. In any case you can check only. Remove the two screws and remove the cover plastic. I know, it cannot be removed easily. Remove it in the middle and remove the side.

• Satellite Pro L650 - 1 CG-corrupted HARD disk

  Hello

  My laptop for a few years and my hard drive just died. Bought a new hard drive and all is well... except that I have never created a recovery DVD (I know, stupid, won't make the same mistake even once).

  The laptop came with a recovery disk that installs Win XP, but I can't seem to install Win 7 and all standard software drivers and Toshiba, it doesn't seem to work. I tried to download all the drivers on a separate computer, but I have no idea of the order of installation, or what I really do I install if I'm honest.

  I read online that it is possible to pay a relatively modest fee and get a new boot disk sent me that would answer all my questions, is this possible and which is the best way to fix my problem?

  Thank you

  As said already Ilay. You can order the recovery of the function of Arvato disc.
  But I m wondering why you are not able to install Windows 7 using the Microsoft disc.
  What exactly is the problem?

  Did you already install Win 7 and have some problems to install the key drivers?

  The order of installation of drivers is very simple: you should start with the current drivers as display driver, chip driver utility, LAN, WLan, etc. then follow with other Toshiba Software and value added package.

• Satellite M30: Replace DVD with additional HARD disk?

  Hello!

  As my Satellite M30-642 does not offer a modular Bay for the installed switches and I have a DVD burner for USB that I can use I think try an experiment: withdrawal of the DVD drive and replace it with an extra HDD/SSD.

  As SSDS are very light, have no moving parts and does not necessarily need screws to be installed and the slot DVD brings the IDE and this could work to power connector. The DSS must be placed inside an old and updated the slimline cd-rom so that the change is not visible and the laptop is safe from dust etc.

  Has anyone tried something like this before? Are there solutions to buy for Sat M30 (2004 vintage)?

  Cheers, obreitfelder

  Hello

  As far as I know the Sat M30 doesn t support the slim select Bay and, therefore you cannot use this adapter instead of the CD/DVD drive.

  Sorry, it is not possible

  Good bye

• Restore CD for XP in combination with double HDD on Satellite Pro P300

  On my Satellite Pro P300, there are two hard drives, two 160 GB.
  Currently, Windows Vista Professional is installed, as it was preinstalled.
  On the first disc, there are 3 partitions, an EISA partition, a partition to boot Vista and a partition for HHDRecovery (contains the image for Vista product Recovery).

  In Vista, there is an option for backing up the computer. This offers the ability to completely restore Vista to the situation at the time of the backup.
  I did a full backup the first complete hard drive (partition 3) PC and saved on the hard disk of the second.

  Now, I want to use the recovery provided product Toshiba for Windows XP to install Windows XP on the laptop.
  I guess that the first hard drive will be completely crushed, but I don't know if the second disc will also be replaced.
  Does anyone know if my data on the second drive will be lost when using the product for XP Recovery?

  I want to keep the data on the second drive, because it gives me the option to restore the laptop to the situation with Vista without reinstalling/activate applications.
  Also all my personal files are on this drive.

  I doubt that installing XP should touch the 2nd HARD drive, but for peace of mind, you can temporarily remove the 2nd HARD drive before installing XP.

• Satellite Pro P300-18 - canoe install WIn XP for lack of HARD drive

  Some of my software works or not or could not, t install under VISTA, so I really need XP on the new laptop computer.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro P300 LED to the bizarre behavior

  I have a portable Satellite Pro P300-1AY, bought just for more than a year. A few hours before after saving my galleries of photos on my external hard drive, a function LED (located below the touchpad) began to blink once every 2 seconds and has done since then. I can't say I've noticed this before but maybe I'm a bit on the side hypersensitive and prudent? I've never had a system failure (yet) or any error message telling me that something is wrong in particular.

  Unfortunately I don't know quite what this led to specific standards for, no power supply mains or battery either. The hard disk activity? More likely.

  As indicated, perhaps I am worrying for no reason, but it's not something I picked up before and it doesn't seem to be anything on a Google search that describes something like that.

  I appreciate any comments on this one.

  Best regards

  Gavin

  Be cool and watch what happens the next few days.
  Let us know if the same thing will happen tomorrow.

• How to wear the Vista/Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 software after upgrade HARD drive

  Hello.

  Have ordered a Seagate Momentus 7200.02 200 GB SATA-300 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 "for my Satellite Pro A200GE - 26. Toshiba slow disk with this laptop ships is simply not fast enough so it is replaced.

  My question is this: can I use the recovery disc of the DVD came with my laptop to reinstall Vista and all the Toshiba drivers on this new album?

  If this is not the case-how can I do?

  If I can do it - could you give me a checklist of things to do?
  Are several factors I need to get used to exist on the recovery disk?

  I ask this because I know how to do this on a PC with the Original OS disc, but I was horrified when my laptop has been delivered and no original OS disk - I think it's very bad for any help would be accepted with gratitude.

  Thank you in advance,

  Kenny.

  Hello

  You should not worry about the whole procedure, just install the HARD drive, put the recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive, press F12 and start with your CD drive or just press 'C' (which automatically inserted CD, boots).

  The recovery is not limited to a specific HARD disk, it automatically adjusts the size of the partition and install EVERTHING on your disk as a preinstalled OS shipped directly from the factory. Don t you need some additional drivers or software, the only thing you need to do is to copy your personal data on the system drive and customize your windows.

  It is the intention of recovery media: put it in and it does everything by itself.

  That's all. :)

  See you soon

• 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 P300-19 q - DVD player is constantly trying to access a drive

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-19 q (PSPCDE-009005EN) with Windows XP. I'm having a strange problem where the DVD drive every now and then turns upward (flashing too) as if it attempts to access a disk. There is no disk in the drive.

  Any ideas?

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.
  As I see you are using Windows XP Home edition. Windows XP Home edition is installed as recovery Toshiba plant?
  Has noticed this problem with the factory settings and clean installed OS?

  Right now I can't imagine that it's a hardware problem. This read command comes obviously from somewhere. If some additional software may be responsible for this?

• The new use of recovery of Windows XP with my q Satellite Pro P300-19?

  I just bought a Satellite Pro P300-19 q with Vista pre-installed. I want to use Windows XP Professional instead and understand that I must use the DVD titled "Product development - Microsoft Windows XP Professional" supplied with the machine. To do this, however, the provided information sheet is not very useful when he says only: «you will have to load this...» »

  My question is: How do I do it from running the disc in the DVD player, just reveals several files which none will get me nowhere?

  Any help would be welcome.

  The recovery of Windows XP product disc contains an image of a Windows XP installation ready with all the drivers and tools.

  Before installing Windows XP, you should burn the Vista recovery disk because if you want to restore Windows Vista you will need this disc. So, you can restore the computer back to wherever it was when you originally received.
  So far as the recovery image (Vista) is only stored on the HARD drive and so you can burn it to a DVD:
  Click on the Toshiba recovery disc creator and insert a blank DVD. Then follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will be created.
  You are now able to boot from this DVD and install Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings).

  When you reinstall Windows with a recovery disk, the HARD disk will be reformatted and all data will be lost. This means that as other partitions so backup your data first.

  If you are using Vista it s also able to restore the factory since the HARD drive settings. Therefore, the files are stored in the folder HDDRecovery.
  So, if you want to put your mobile PC, press F8. Then you can see the menu and there advanced boot options, select repair your computer.
  Follow the instructions on the screen and the laptop will also reinstall.
  But don't forget, this (HARD disk recovery) feature is only available with Vista, not XP.

  So if you understand this and burned the Vista recovery disk, you can start to install Windows XP.
  Boot from the XP Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The installation of Windows XP does not have a lot of time and this procedure is similar to Vista. After installation you also have an installation with all drivers and Toshiba tools but with Windows XP of course.
  This is the content of the Windows XP Recovery disk.

• 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.
