Satellite Pro U400 - Vista boot failure

• Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

  Hi all!

  I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

  I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

  pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

  As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

  Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
  2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
  3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
  It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

  Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

  To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
  After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

  ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
  2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
  20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
  21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  More on Vista worked properly!

  Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

  2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
  20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
  21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

  during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

  HOWEVER:
  ========

  If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

  invisible 1.46 GB, primary
  C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
  E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
  2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
  Empty remaining 54 GB space

  This means:
  VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
  Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

  Issues related to the:

  Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

  Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

  Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

  Is there a solution for this problem?

  At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

  Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

  Girard

  > Have you ever see similar behavior?
  NO.

  > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
  I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

  As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
  An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

  That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

  However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

• Satellite Pro U400 - cannot install VAP on Vista 64-bit

  Hello
  Since I bought 4GB of RAM for my Satellite Pro U400 PSU45E, I installed vista Business 64-bit, with all drivers and bios 64 bit found on the toshiba site.
  easy, with the exception of the "value added package 1.1.19", whenever I try to install I get: error "failure of GetProfString."

  I installed every driver and utility for 64-bit, but still the same...
  Everyone has experienced with this?

  Without VAP, I can't use the Toshiba power saver, worst profiles I can't go back because I did a new install and deleted the recovery partition!
  Please, someone help!

  Hello

  VAP contains all the modules necessary and you n t need to install other tools in order to install VAP
  I think that it s a Vista may issue you should do a clean install, then you must update the Vista for the last State.
  After have installed all the patches Vista, try to install VAP and other tools.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro U400 - can I boot from a USB?

  I am wanting to partition the disk and I don't have a blank CD at hand...

  Surprised to discover, there is no option the BIOS to boot from devices USB 2.40.

  Please can someone confirm for me that this is not possible?

  Thank you.

  L.

  Yes, you can boot from USB FDD, primary HARD disk, optical device and network (LAN)
  Unfortunately, the USB is not supported ;(

  But if you want to create a new partition on the HARD drive you don't need to boot from a USB n.
  Are you using the Vista on your Satellite Pro U400?

  If so, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create a new partition.
  To reduce the first partition first and then you can create a new partition using a new space on the HARD drive.

• 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.

  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

• Satellite Pro U400 - BIOS update gone bad

  Hi all!

  I've updated the BIOS on my laptop and something was wrong, just not now a computer screen.

  I went to see the Web for Chris Bios recover.
  Have over 20 versions, but so far without success.

  My biggest problem is: I can't save on floppy disk 2 MB BIOS. All attempts to create a
  Flash or SD ended in failure.

  The laptop is: Satellite pro U400 PSU45E

  Please help me... the laptop reads the floppy in BIOS with little experience (the ones that come with Chris Bios 500Ko - 1000 KB) begins with a normal boot beep signals supposedly provided a definition blocks then baar times short beep and nothing to do...
  There must be something... BIOS BACK small size, emulator USB... BIOS to be torn down, so it is possible in charge from USB, SD...

  Every idea can be useful!

  Thank you very much

  Excuse my English

  Hi mate

  Unfortunately if something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, then you won't be able to solve this problem without the help of a technician of the ASP

  I hope that the ROM BIOS module is not too bad
  In the worst case that the mobo is damage but maybe it s not damaged

  However. You must contact a local ASP and must ask for the manipulation of the Fryer!

  Good luck!

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

  Hey the Toshiba Forum users

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U400-G13
  I turned on and the auto install startet Windows Vista. The inexplicable to the computer.
  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.
  If I press OK, the screen goes black in 1 second and the error shows up again.
  It gets to a screen "Please wait" screen to sign in to Windows.

  I can start it in Mode safe, but do not really know what to do with this...

  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.

• 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 U400-13 a - starting problems

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 13A running Windows XP Pro and have startup problems.

  The computer was working well until that last Wednesday when I modified the settings of advanced management power in how he reacted to the closing of the lid [hibernate] or pressing the power [on hold] button. Then, I closed the lid that I had to leave in a hurry.

  About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

  Pressing ALT + DEL shows that both operations are underway - "Windows logon" and "Connection", but the selection does nothing.
  I left the computer up to 6 hours, in the hope that it was a lengthy process that prevented it go further but still the same blue screen rest.

  I forced a shutdown by pressing the power and then restarted in the start menu [Safe Mode etc.].
  According to the boot option I then select [I tried all the] bothers me on the same position that I started with - blue screen with "XP" logo.

  I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss.
  I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  What are my options?

  Thank you

  > I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss. I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  Seems you have to reinstall new OS.
  If you don t have disks or functional HARD drive recovery option, then I would recommend ordering the disc from here:

  Then you can reinstall the OS in order to get the workbook

• Re: Satellite Pro U400-160 - freezes when copying larger files or videos

  Hello:

  I have a Satellite Pro U400-160 and a VERBATIM external hard drive USB eSATA combo.

  If I turn on AHCI mode recognizes the drive, but when copying the video files or large file size, the system is frozen. However if I remove the mode AHCI works correctly. I have the version 9.8.9.1023 Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager and my laptop BIOS v4.0 and Windows Vista Business.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Normally the AHCI mode has nothing to do with an external HARD drive. It is only important for the internal HARD disk if you install Windows.

  Anyway, you have installed all the updates of Windows for Vista?
  In addition, you should test another external HARD disk or with another cable.

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 - 15 p. Unfortunately I can't install Windows XP Home Edition, because the error pops up on the beginning of the installation (nr of error: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).) I couldn't install Linux as well.
  Is this normal?

  What should I do before installing Windows? Should I first all the drivers? And how to install without Windows?
  Maybe it is some property damage?

  PS. I'm not very good with computers, so I need simple explanation (step by step - how to install Windows). ;)

  Use NLite software and include files

  Then take this new drive and use it for booting and Installing Win XP.

  • Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 2.0 GHz, 2 MB
  • 13.3 "TruBrite® WXGA 1280 x 800

  I have a few questions for you guys who own a laptop U400.

  Is - this treatment of 64-bit support? I don't know if the Vista operating system that is delivered is 32-bit or 64-bit.
  Run quietly and cool when they surf the web, type in Word and under the easy workload like that? It gets very loud and hot runs more demanding programs such as Photoshop CS3?
  I know that this video card is not ment for gaming, but manipulates her older games like Call of Duty 4?

  Do you recommend this laptop? I tried searching the Internet for customers, but I couldn't find the model U400 - 23M. What are the advantages and disadvantages on this laptop?

  Hi mate

  I n t have the Satellite Pro U400 - 23M, but I m an owner of the Satellite U400-10N.
  I use it in my office all I love this little baby.

  You should know that the U400 has 13.3 display and it of smaller than the P100.
  So you will definitely notice a difference.

  One of my friends said that 13.3 would be too low for him, but for me it s best. I can take everywhere and sometimes I m work while traveling around the world

  So I m very satisfied.

  I ve installed Win XP on this U400 and it s functions perfectly!
  But you can install Vista 64 bit too. The Satellite Pro U400 - 23M uses the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5870, that supports 64-bit

  But note; the U400 is not really a cellphone game hardcore.
  My U400 supports an Intel graphics chip and usually I only use it for office, graphic design (web) applications and web browsing.
