• 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 - Conexant and 'Stereo Mix' in question

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 (downgraded from Vista to XP) with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 "audio card" installed.

  Although this seems to support HD audio, I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows console. I tried a few settings to registry and some different drivers, but so far, the option remained absent.

  I know this forum and other comments on the net that Conexant audio cards do not support the stereo mix, but I was wondering if someone could confirm that this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

  Similarly, anyone know of another method to record the sound 'as heard' on the computer? So Far, the options appear to be a) buy an external sound card, or b) connect the plug headphone mini-jack on the mic with a cable jack.

  After using a p3500 old Portege of 8 quite happy with this function (actually pretty basic), it is very disappointing to find that this card cannot support it.

  See you soon,.
  Select this option.

  > I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows mixer
  > I know this forum and other reviews on the net that the Conexant sound cards may not support stereo > Mix, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

  I can confirm this because I have a laptop (NOT from Toshiba one) that was equipped with the Conexant audio chip and the other laptop (Toshiba Satellite a series has) that supports the Realtek audio chip.

  The machine with Realtek audio chip contains stereo mix and the other non-Toshiba unit that supports the audio chip Conexant does not support the stereo mix

  As far as I know the update of the driver won't help you because it looks like a hardware limitation of chip Conexant!

  However, thanks for the info about the Virtual Audio Cable tool.
  I think I'll try it next time

• 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.

  Thanks for all your answers.

  > Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.
  Of course, this isn't all right if nothing appears on the screen

  Connect an external monitor to check if you would be able to see something on the screen?
  Do this! Usually you should use the FN + F5 to alternate between the monitor internal and external.
  If this is not possible and nothing could be seen on the 2nd monitor, the graphics card problem can cause this.

  Oh I forgot to tell my computer toshiba laptop satellite pro u400
  It came with windows vista preinstalled

  Hello

  I think it is just a software problem (Boot Manager).
  Try to repair the operating system by using HARD disk recovery;
  Press F8 why portable power.
  Then choose fix my computer, then choose disk HARD recovery.

  If this is not possible, order the disk recovery from here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Then, you will be able to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk

• 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 U400-G13 - "C++ Runtime Error" at startup

  Hey the Toshiba Forum users

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U400-G13

  After the reboot, a toshiba program starts and requested a restart more.
  After that, I have a "C ++ Runtime Libery Error ' whenever I start the computer.

  Y at - it someone who has tried something similar or has good ideas for what I can do...

  Many greetings Asger Benzon

  As Akuma said, have you installed extra RAM? Remove the extra RAM and try without it.

  In your position I would like to reinstall the OS (Operating System). Backup your data first, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
  After this, start Notepad, and then press F8 or boot from the recovery disc. Then you can fix the computer. Windows will be reinstalled.
