• 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.

  How can I get the samsung to display full screen expanded to save my eyes of the realativively small screen internal?

  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 L40 - what is lasting average battery?

  Hello

  Recently, I received my Satellite Pro L40 and wonder what is the average battery? Once fully charged, it seems to be able to handle 1 hour max. Is this normal?

  The laptop I had before was the same, but my friends laptop, which is more than a year older than mine, runs for more than 3 hours on a fully charged battery.

  Is there a fault?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is not easy to answer this question because the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. You know that you will be able to run much longer Notepad on the battery power using only a few common applications like Word or Internet Explorer.
  Play games, watch DVDs or burn CD/DVD of waste more than energy because the performance of simple devices is much higher!

  Fact is that portable Pro L40 was equipped devices and high-tech parts. The laptop supports a nice GPU of fort Intel Pentium Dual - Core CPU, huge HARD drive, and and and

  In addition, you must know that the Vista operating system preinstalled eat a lot of resources and waste more energy than Win XP!
  All of this has an influence on the working time of battery.

  Last but not least, he should know that there are different batteries on the market.
  If you want to increase the performance of the battery, buy a stronger battery!

• Satellite L500-1KK - how to the maximum battery time?

  Hello

  1. it is indicated on the product specifications L500-1kk expected autonomy is about 03:20 Hrs use mobile brand! However, I was using my laptop for almost a year now, the maximum battery time I get is 02:15 Hrs, whenever I load my mobile suit, the battery still bar program shows me this maximum time remaining! I use the default power settings!

  2. most intriguing, is that my sister used another laptop, its battery is approximately the same capacity that mine, around 43200 mWh, us both using Windows 7 Ultimate (she 32bits, I, 64-bit version), but its battery time is at least 4.5 Hrs. Why is this, and how I would maximize my battery time!

  3. Finally, her laptop is new (4 months, yet battery pro program shows that the battery wear rate is 7%, my laptop is almost a year and it shows a wear rate of 1.3%, I use mostly my laptop while the power is plugged in, unplugged rarely!) Is their an explanation to the different rates of wear?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, I think a battery about 02:15 hours is good and I think that everything is ok with your laptop. My new Satellite A500 I also only 2.5 hours if I running on battery, sometimes less than 2 hours or less. That s always according to the applications you run.

  > 2.

  Well, it s the same you compare two cars with the same ch from different manufactures a car's fuel consumption higher than the other car, even it have the same hp. Why? Well, the different manufacturers using different parts: other tires, gears, weight, dray of air, etc.

  You can compare two identical notebooks or cars from the manufacturing even to find a problem, but * not * from different manufacturers. ;)

• Satellite Pro U400-11V - Installation using the floppy from XP downgrade

  Hello

  Yesterday I had to replace my HARD drive once it is simply dead.
  I didn't know it was a big deal that I had lost any data.
  I would just like to re - install Windows XP using the Downgrade XP disk came with the laptop.

  It turns out that: I have about 10 discs Downgrade XP each almost identical looking and everyone, I assume, associated with a particular Toshiba laptop my company bought at some point.
  Now, I have no idea what drive is the one that came with my Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11V.

  What I did:
  -We selected at random.
  -Installed Win Xp Pro.
  -Tried to activate Windows.
  -It indicates that the product key is bad (and some drivers are missing, so it is obviously not the disc that came with the laptop, but he got me so far).
  -Correct the product key according to the key that is located on a sticker at the bottom on the laptop *.
  * On the sticker, this key is an OEMAct Windows Vista Business key, the OS of the laptop came with.
  -L'activation of Windows will not accept the key to the sticker.

  So I have 2 questions:
  1. is there another method of re - install Windows XP Pro using the * original * Downgrade XP disk that came with?
  2 (leading to #1) is it possible to identify which drive is the one shipped with my laptop? Perhaps by checking some serial numbers on the disc?

  Worst case scenario I'll have to make (at most) 10 Windows installs until one works.
  But I was really hoping some help & advice.

  I can't wait to hear all the answers,
  Thank you!

  Your ad is really funny :D

  I put t know how your Win XP drive looks like. My laptop came with the recovery disk and it was mentioned on the label that it's Toshiba recovery disc.

  In addition he s already enabled so I put t need to activate the operating system by using this key.
  Also, the key at the bottom of the unit belongs to the preinstalled operating system and it will NOT work with the new Win XP or another operating system.

  But back to your Win XP disks
  I recommend that you check the single disc... maybe a disc is already activated

• 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:

• 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 U400-12y: how to use HDD recovery after the new installation of the OS

  Dear Sir

  I have the Satellite Pro U400-12y and give tem my friend use it when he gets back, the laptops it do format c: and reinstalled new windows.
  I try to do the recovery only by pressing f8 without answering.

  How can I recover my laptop to its state of origin as drive HARD recovery again in d:
  Thanks in adv

  Hello

  You will not be able to restore the factory settings because another operating system has been installed on the first partition.
  Usually by pressing F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered should allow the advanced on-screen menu. Here, you should choose option called repair my computer and Toshiba Recovery HARD drive.

  But if this doesn t work then you will not be able to use HARD drive recovery.
  In this case, you will need to order the new CD from here:
