• Intel X 25 - M Solid - State Drive (SSD) does not start on T60

  Hi all-

  I finally made the plunge and acquired a X 25 - m Solid State drive (SSD) of Intel. I spent a large part of the trial yesterday so he could boot on my T60 with no luck. My first attempt was to clone the current drive in the X 25 - M, but I got a slider to underscore flashing in the upper left corner of a black screen just after the start screen of ThinkPad and before Windows even tried to load.

  Like others here, I suspected there could be a problem with the cloning of a disc (although it worked well with other mechanical discs), so I cloned the SSD to the original drive, and the original drive worked fine. Which excluded the cloning process.

  I then tried to boot from the SSD drive by plugging in a USB drive enclosure. Using this method, I had at least the Windows splash screen, but I got a blue screen after that. Yet, it is better that connect directly into the drive, it suggests that it is SATA or the original of the problem BIOS interface.

  I then took the SSD and installed in a desktop machine and have a fresh XP installed on this PC. I'm finally at least to see how fast an Intel SSD's, and I was absolutely stunned. I have never had a "snappier" desktop computer I never realized how big of a hard drive bottleneck is even on a desktop machine. Wow! If I could get this improved performance on my T60, I would be very happy.

  After getting the player running on the desktop, I jumped it in the T60 just to see if she would get at least at the starting Windows screen. No luck-just the cursor flashing again.

  AHCI is disabled in the BIOS and the disc is displayed correctly in the BIOS. I installed the latest version of the BIOS (2.23).

  Someone at - it any other ideas?

  BTW, Lenovo people, I'm just down the street from your part of RTP, and I'd be happy to abandon if an engineer wants to try a BIOS fix or something like that. I guess that there may not have much SSD Intel floating around the office.

  Thank you

• 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:

• Solid State Drive (SSD) for notebook 1160us dm4, a SATA II or SATAIII?

  I would go to an SSD and I was wondering if this laptop supports SATA III or 6 GB/s transfer rate. The HARD disk that is in a Seagate ST9500420AS ATA and research shows that he has a transfer rate of 3 gb/s. I don't know if I should buy an SSD is 6 GB/s or 3 Gbps. don't know if the motherboard supports (SATAIII / 6 GB/s)?

  Thoughts? Someone has upgraded to SSD s. Also, how / what did you use to transfer the old drive or you just reinstall Windows 7?

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. most likely, it is a SATA II controller. You can use the following program to check:

  FTP://FTP.CPUID.com/PC-Wizard/PC-wizard_2012.2.11.zip

  

  (In my case, the controller is a SATA III).

  2. I normally have "clone" of the HARD drive, this will save a lot of time to reinstall many things. I use a product called O & O DiskImage to perform this work, very fast and the success rate of 100%. A small note: you need a larger SSD (capacity) than the drive that you want to clone - normally C:. You can try this free product:

  Some SSD vendors also provide a product of cloning for you to do this work.

  Kind regards.

• Satellite Pro S300-120 does not start after replacing the CMOS battery

  Hello

  My friends laptop - a S300-120 - was having a few problems.

  I replaced some parts about this before, including a screen crack with no problems.

  However, he began to refuse to start saying "out of battery CMOS, Press F1 to enter setup". Of course you would have to do this, set the date and time, except & restart only to get the same message. We have replaced the CMOS battery with a with the same serial number and now the laptop will not boot.

  It does one of two things.

  It is one) seems to turn, turn to the top disk & CD player, cooling fan is 100%, then flashes the POWER ON led once, twice by orange, and then green to 1/2 second intervals, with no response from the keyboard or LCD.

  Or (b) turns on, turntable, does not turn up to cooling fan, POWER ON witness remains stable, no response from the keyboard or LCD.

  I re-assembled the laptop several times & can not find all the missing fittings or obvious signs of damage.

  The only thing I can think is that the motherboard has been damaged - somehow find replacements is delicate.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  (> It is a) appears to turn on, turn the disk & CD player, cooling fan goes to 100% and then flashes him

  POWER ON led once, twice by orange, and then green to 1/2 second intervals, with no response from the keyboard or LCD.
  Usually, if the voltage in abnormal feeding malfunctions when IN DC will be blinking orange.

  In my opinion, it looks like a problem with the motherboard :(
  Eventually, you will need to replace the mobo ;(

• Satellite Pro L650: Windows could not complete the installation on the new HARD drive

  At the present time, I have a 500 GB HARD drive installed. As soon as I got it, I did a recovery on 3 DVD media.

  I just tried to replace the HARD drive with a 1 to one. All copied OK and after dvd 3 that I was told to release the dvd. I did this and the computer turns off. I turned it on and it started to (don't remember the exact words used) set the drivers.

  However I have now received the message that "Windows cannot complete installation" and telling me to reinstall. I did it, but after the steps above have repeated the same message appears.

  Pls help.

  I don't see why my computer should be limited to a 500 GB HARD drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The computer is NOT limited to 500 GB HARD drive
  You can use more big 500 GB hard drives. You have confirmed that the laptop supports 1 TB HARD drive and the system recognizes the 1 TB HARD drive.

  The problem could be the use of the recovery diskette. Why?
  Because the recovery disk creates the same partitions that were available on the 500 GB HARD drive. This could create problems of system due to the large size of HARD drive.

  Solutions?
  Well, I think that you could install the system by using the clean installation of Microsoft Windows disk.
  Missing other drivers or tools can be downloaded from Toshiba page.

• Updated by Satellite L755 with a Solid State Drive (SSD)

  Someone has upgraded to an SSD.
  Can you keep your operating system and data.

  It is preferable to copy an Image of the disc in the DVD or USB drive.
  What are the problems?

  Hello

  It shouldn't be a big problem to upgrade the laptop with an SSD.
  The device supports a common SATA interface and controller, so usual 2.5 SATA SSD drive should work fine.

  Before that you need to replace the HARD drive, I recommend the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk or (and) a USB stick recovery support.
  It s advisable to create both in case your USB memory key would be a mistake (or disk)

• Solid State Drive SSD how to store the user accounts on secondary drive

  I installed windows on a SSD and I want to use a secondary drive for all my data. How to configure windows (explorer) to do this? Thank you, DM.

  Move the users directory and directory ProgramData on one drive other than the drive that contains the Windows directory Warning Using the ProgramData parameter to redirect folders to one drive other than the system volume will block your ability to upgrade to later versions of Windows.

  By changing the location by default of the user profile directories or folders of program data to one volume other than the system volume, you cannot service your Windows installation. Impossible to apply updates, patches or service packs to install. We recommend that you do not change the location of the user profile directories or files from program data.

• Solid State Drives (SSDs) on the ESX host

  We lack the HP Proliant DL380 G5 servers, and I wonder if anyone has any experience with the help of SSD on their ESX hosts.  In particular, we are looking for disks SAS 2.5 ".

  The SSD would contain the ESX installation only... all the virtual machines and related storage resides on a San.

  Since most of the e/s on an ESX host is (based on my somewhat limited experience) for most of the readings, with strange writing (for newspapers and others), an SSD would make sense for me as something that not fail anytime soon due to too many Scriptures in a sector.

  And as they get bigger, I'm starting to wonder if they have an option of reliable hardware / bearable.

  We have them in our IBM blades and I believe they are Intel SLC. Works well.

• Editing a file to remove confidential data from a solid state drive (ssd)?

  I understand that El Capitan has removed the option "Secure Empty trash" because of hard drives (ssd) state how strong. So, I try to understand how I can work around it.

  Let's say I have a Pages or Word file with a list of names that should be kept confidential, and I want this file to the trash.

  What happens if I change the file to remove these names? Removing ssd data? Can I trash then the file as usual without worrying about confidential data remaining on the ssd?

  Or what should I do if I replaced the confidential names with something? For example, if I was John Doe on the list, what happens if I change to be John xyz? XYZ crash Doe on the ssd?

  No it doesn't, use FileVault to encrypt the contents of the disc.

  Any particular SSD that you would recommend?

  Hello almac7, it seems that your system must be able to withstand a SSD hard drive. You may need an adapter to install the player in a Bay 3.5 inches.

  Given that the SSD is a new parent and the ever-evolving technology, it would be difficult to recommend one disc rather than another.

  They all seem to have their positive and negative characteristics.

  You also need Windows 7 as operating system, with the support of the Trim function now on most of the SSDS.

  Here is a link for the specifications of your system. It shows that there are six sata (ports) for readers. It also shows that the system was delivered with two 500 GB hard drives. These discs can be in a Raid0 configuration. You will need to reconnect these drives to other ports, and then connect the SSD to port0.

  I have search for comparisons of different brands and models and determine what brand and model, and price range would be tailored to your needs.

• Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H: charging not not after re-installation of software

  My laptop has been "reset" by a Virus called AdwCleaner last week removal tool (CAUTION - do NOT run it on your laptop - if could ruin your life!)  :(

  In any case, the result of it was that I had to take it to a repair shop where they were unable to restore Windows XP I had used since I got the machine, and so they have had to re - install the original Windows Vista which was the OS when I bought it. (I bought a "downgrade" to XP disc with the laptop)

  Until that happened, the charging of the battery and everything worked well, but since I'll be back my laptop from the store, battery does not charge.

  When I hover over the right low battery icon, it says "3% available, battery not charging".
  The battery is OK, because if I unplug the power cable, the laptop stays on.

  Is there some setting somewhere that is revealing the machine do not recharge the battery?
  How can I get it back to normal?

  See you soon,.
  Select this option.

  Post edited by: KasinoKing - typo in the title!

  Guess what?
  I m wondering if the guy installed all the drivers of Toshiba Vista that are released on the Toshiba UE driver page.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?

  I m thinking in particular software and tools such as value added package

  I also recommend you to check the Device Manager.
  In Device Manager, expand battery area.
  Here, you must first uninstall the
  -Battery method to check compatible ACPI Microsoft
  -Microsoft AC adapter
  -Battery composite Microsoft

  Reboot the laptop.
  Check how to work the battery charging process
  In the case where they would find the new hardware (these would be three uninstalled devices from Device Manager) wait until the system has installed the driver, reboot once again and check the load

• Satellite Pro S300 - HDD in caddy is not recognized by BIOS

  I replaced the original HARD drive and installed a new SSD that works very well.
  Installed the W7Pro and all updates.

  I do not use my burner so I replaced the CD drive and installed a shopping cart with my old HDD to have more disk space.

  When I start my laptop, I see a message of ERROR of CD-ROM.
  In Device Manager the caddy and or the HARD drive is not displayed.

  I tried to change settings in the BIOS (according to Toshiba utility the latest version), but even in the Bios is no information about this SSD or HARD drive installed. (or the CD player when I re - install this drive again)

  What's not here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
  Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

  NB in the BIOS HARD drive drive settingis according to ACPI, the list below it is referred to as IDE device.
  When I enter the BIOS IDE instead of ACPI, I still see the CD-ROM ERROR when starting and after this message, the screen is blue and no other activity.

  Relevant information from PC:

  > What is the problem here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
  > Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

  To my knowledge, not all laptops support a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD (optical disc)

  Also, not all CD/DVD drives are compatible and could be used for all laptops.

  So agree with the user above and I think it's the problem of compatibility also.

• Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H - upgrade to Windows 7 is not

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H running Vista Business.
  I registered for the Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade and received 2 DVDs and minimalist upgrade instructions.

  Following the instructions:
  Part 1: Toshiba Upgrade DVD - all the success, after recording all the fingerprints of TrueSuite Access Manager.

  Part 2: upgrade to MS Windows 7 DVD - I uninstalled iTunes as it recommended. It then crosses the first steps OK, but on the last step of the installation, it gives the blue screen of death. PC restarts and Vista is restored.

  Part 3: Not running

  I wasn't looking over time so don't see does not error messages. Is there a log file of the installation failure Windows 7 that I could check to try to find out why the upgrade failed? Tips and tricks

  You can live without TEMPRO. Believe me that. Beast of sounds now but maybe the tool delete as first step I made on my new laptop Satellite.
  In any case, if you want to have it just download the latest version of the Toshiba support page.
