• Satellite Pro U400-130 - hard drive Partition - help

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 mobile - cell PSU45E-005005EN

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo (T8400) 2.26 GHz, the front side Bus speed: 1066 MHz, level 2: 3 MB Cache
  3072 MB (1024 + 2048 MB) DDR2 RAM
  250 GB hard drive
  Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition

  What I've found, is that the hard drive is partitioned into two separate drives

  1. the drive C - 117 GB - hand player - all programs, user accounts and files of work / are saved on the C drive.
  2 drive E - 113 GB - A folder titled HDDRecovery (size 4.42 GB) nothing elese is on the E drive.
  3. This only totals to 230 GB, then where is the other 20 GB?

  I want to know/how is is:

  1. Why are we doing this way?
  2. What is the purpose of the file recovery Drive E and it does not require the space of 113 GB?

  3. If I increase the size of drive C to say 55GO and decrease the size of drive E?
  3.1 is it possible?
  3.2 what impact will?

  4. the drives C and E only total 230 GB so where is the other 20 GB?

  Can someone please help

  Thank you very much

  (1) the HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions and not 2! Go to the disk management utility and you will see that there is a hidden partition. This hidden partition is created by Vista. It contains the necessary backup files that are needed for the repair of the system, if something goes wrong with your operating system.

  (2) the second partition contains the record of recovery of HARD drive that allows you to retrieve the laptop without using recovery discs. But of course, you are able to create a recovery disk and it s highly recommended to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  3.1 I think that this could be possible, but before that you'd change any partition size I recommend the creation of the recovery disk because there is a high risk that after changing the size of partitions you drive HARD recovery option does not work.

  3.2) see point 3.1

  4.) I think the other hidden partition using this 20 GB. Also please note that 250GB are not really 250 GB 1 GB is not 1000MB but 1024MB.
  This means that the 250 GB HARD drive is not 250 000 MB but 238 418 MB

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - restarts after shutdown down

  Hello

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130. The operating system is Windows Vista 32 bit.

  I have a problem when I try to quit the Menu Start-Shut Down laptop. The system will reboot after that. Then if I select closes without connecting to my account, it really stops.

  Please, could you help me with this?

  It's a little confusing because you said if I select shut down without logging in to my account, it really stops.
  Say you stop without connection?

  However, I think you make a mistake.
  Make sure you have all the Service Packs and hotfixes installed for Vista.

  Maybe the button closure is misconfigured. The default action is sleep. To verify this action. Open a command prompt and enter
  Powercfg.cpl, 1
  There you can change the action of power button in the start menu.

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - "Please wait" is displayed during startup

  I brought a new laptop Satellite Pro U400-130.
  While the l' interrupteur switch on the laptop, each time between the initial screen (vista logo) & the Welcome screen, please wait for t0 60 63 seconds continuous screen is this normal.

  Maybe its waiting for a network connection? Try to disable network devices in Device Manager and reboot.

  Or if you have installed an antivirus program, check that its not not looking for a floppy disk at startup drive.

  Vista event viewer can tell you which delays the startup process.

• Satellite Pro U400-130 begin to operate automatically in internet

  My Toshiba U400-130 appears to have a clean mind - if I go on a website, Ebay for example and start working through the sales process, with no outside assistance from me, the computer will return to the previous web page and maybe come back another web page to the original signature on the page. Frequently, by pressing the next button, I can get back to where I left off but not always - what can be the cause?

  I don't think I have a virus that I run Zone Alarm and Force field and you will have to be Houdini to get into the system.
  Please don't look on that as a challenge and every crook out to Christianity is now trying to access my machine!

  Hello

  This strange s sound a little magic
  It s good idea to use additional security tools and firewalls like Zone Alarm, but it is still a rest of risk that your system could be attacked by a virus, Trojan or similar malware

  In your case, I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. This recovery disk will format the whole HARD disk and install the whole system again.
  I think that the format of HARD drive is necessary and important to be 100% sure that the malware has been removed.

• Re: Satellite Pro U400-130 poor quality display on external monitor

  Hello

  If I connect an external monitor to the display quality VGA port is quite poor. It looks like a 'grainy twinkle"(sorry hard to describe). I have tried several different monitors and made all the adjustments that I can find. If I increase the contrast to max is not visible, but still the screen is too bright. The internal TFT is perfect.

  Have you tried to change the display settings on monitor itself (brightness)?

  I have connected to my office two different external screens (19 and 22) to U400, and the image is OK. I really don't understand what makes you so unhappy.

• Satellite Pro U400-18 s - how to switch the display to TV?

  There you will find all the compatible options.

  AFAIK this battery could be compatible with the Satellite Pro U400 series:

• I need to replace the battery and AC adapter of the Satellite Pro U400-160

  I have a Satellite Pro U400-160.

  I need to replace the battery and the charger of my Toshiba, but I am wary about compatibility issues.

  Any battery for Satellite Pro U400 is suitable for mine?
  As I can't find which batteries are specifically suitable for my computer.

  (For example: is this a: http://www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-Toshiba-Satellite-U400-11V-7800mAh/dp/B0051A9Y88/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1366885340&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=satellite+pro+u400?)

  Is there a quick way to check if a battery / charger are compatible?

  Each battery and adapter you get from Toshiba has specific part number. All you have to do is use this same part number and order. You should be able to find on the internet.
  You can also get compatible parts you are ordering by the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

  By the way: all U400 models have the same construction and the similar specifications then all the batteries specified for U400 can be used on your U400-160.

• Satellite Pro U400 starts and overheating problems

  Hello

  6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

  The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

  Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

  This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

  Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

  Is this normal in a really new machine?

  Thank you

  First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
  But really to get so hot?

  Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
  But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

  You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

  What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

• Dynadock and Satellite Pro U400-135 - external monitor question

  Hello.
  We have a serious problem on the 26 dynadock vga e Satellite Pro U400-135 unit

  The problem is:
  If set to host as a single external monitor during startup frequent windows loses resolution external monitor.

  Example of resolution monitor post seting like 1280 x 1024, start with connected dyndaock, frequent resolution 1280 x 800 not correct and external monitor image not correct.

  Operating system is Vista 32 bit, driver dynadock is 2.3 update and dynadock displaylink displaylink site 4.6.16208 site.
  Same problem with Windows Xp 32 bit.

  How can I solve the problem?

  Hello

  If I understand the first message, external monitor resolution automatically goes to 1280 x 800 even if you set it to 1280 x 1024.
  I guess that your external monitor is connected to the dynadock.
  Is this good?

  AFAIK, you can customize the video settings of the dynodock.
  It provides a video output in two modes: Mode and extended Mode of mirror.

  Mirror mode creates an identical display of your computer to the external monitor screen. In mirror Mode, the dynadock automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality and discount rates) for the external monitor that will allow the best resolution based on your computer's settings.

  Maybe you use the mirror mode and therefore the dynadock the resolution automatically because it of the best for the external monitor.

  I recommend checking the Dynadock manual for more details.
  There are two modes are described there.

• Satellite Pro U400 - audio quality is not good

  OK this problem has been plaging me for years. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 windows 8.1.

  The sound quality is terrible.
  I can remember it's bad in windows 7.

  Contextant driver is bad, and so is the generic driver windows 8.1.

  Help, please

  To be honest, I have no idea what you mean exactly by the quality is terrible.
  I've owned a notebook Satellite U400 happened and I have to say that the sound quality was quite good.

  Satellite U400 is a small portable 13.3 and the speakers have been adjusted to the dimensions of the laptop.
  The Conexant audio chip is part of the motherboard and you will not be able to replace it.

  If you want to use another sound card, you can try to use an external USB audio interface.
  I use this external sound solution for my home recording studio.

  The audio interface is connected to the USB port of the laptop s and the external speakers are initiated for the external audio interface.

  By the way: isn't Satellite U400 is the list of the supported 8.1 notebooks... Win so you won't find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this unit on the Toshiba driver website.
