Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

Hello!

I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

Best regards and thanks for the help!
Gernot

So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

Please let me know if it will work.

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - how your last long battery time

    Hello everyone!

    I bought a toshiba laptop (satellite pro u400), but I think he has a very short range, about 1 h.
    Someone like that have a computer toshiba laptop?

    How long your battery last time?

    Thank you!!!

    GLO :-)

    Hello

    I have a U400 and I also use it with the battery.

    I use it for surfing the internet and writing
    Execution of the laptop with battery I always set the brightness to the minimum, and in this case I can use it for about two hours.

    If the screen light is set to max and the HARD drive and the CD/DVD drive works then your battery time will likely decline at a time.

    So, as you can see the battery time work depands defintialy on the use of the laptop...

  • Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

    AHOY!

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

    It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

    However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

    * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

    I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

    + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

    And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

    (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

    I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
    A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

    With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
    If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
    On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

    Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
    > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
    I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

    Hello

    This notebook is not know for me but has checked some sites on the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
    Then lift the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM of PJ15 card on the system board.
    Remove the two screws that fix the Board Connector CD-ROM/DVD-ROM.

  • Satellite Pro L10: How to remove the user password

    Hello

    I work for a school and we have a bunch of laptops Satellite Pro L10. I put a supervisor on all laptops password think this problem would be solved (I didn't enter a password each time the machines are enabled), but one of our students seems to have found its way to the HWSetup utility in Control Panel and could save a user password on one of the laptops.

    Alarmingly there seems to be no way to clear the password of the user, even though I have the supervisor password. I can get the BIOS as a supervisor, but the definition of a user password option is grayed out. Can anyone provide a solution for my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, I think that this problem could be solved by updating the BIOS to the version 2.60 or greater.
    But the problem is that the password has already been fixed.

    I read in the paper of Toshiba that all passwords must be removed before starting the BIOS updates.
    That's why I think it would be advisable to contact Toshiba service partner to remove first the user password, and then update the BIOS.

    You know it's very risky to update the BIOS of the device when the user or any password has been set.
    It of possible that the BIOS update procedure will be interrupted if the password exists.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: How do I order the recovery CD

    Hi all...

    I tried to use the search function to find the answer to this, but so far, I've been unable to.
    I just had my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 old friends, but the HARD drive is full of stuff I would never like games and old family photos that he told me to just delete.

    Unfortunately he hasn't his recovery disk and I tried to enter the serial number in the disk drive service replacing and he says he's too old...

    Anyone know where I can get one from?

    Hello

    Hmm... the Satellite Pro 2100 is the old series of laptop and I doubt it could be possible to order the CD from recovery for this unit. But to achieve this, I recommend contacting the local Toshiba ASP for some details.

    Another possibility to install the O on this old could be the use of the original CD of Microsoft Windows. After the installation of the own XP operating system you could visit the page of European disc of Toshiba and could download the necessary drivers.

    You can find the drivers in the ARCHHIVE region.

    Hello

    As far as I know the XP disc that comes with the laptop you can t make a system dual-boot. It s only one disk to downgrade from Vista to XP.
    You can try to post your score, but it s on your own risk.

    In the worst case, you will need to use a Windows XP that you can buy in a computer store or somewhere else. Then it s definitely not a problem to make a dual system boot between XP and Vista.
    I have my laptop Toshiba system dual boot with XP and Vista and it works well! :)
