• Satellite R630: USB stick recognized not always connected to Dynadock U10

  Hello

  In the work we use laptops Toshiba Satellite R630 with U10 Dynadocks.

  We recently started role on the Bitlocker encryption using USB flash drives.
  The idea being that we will have two flash drives - one for when it is out of the office and the other who will stay plugged into the Dynadock for when at the office.

  Many of our users have problems with the drive that is plugged into the Dynadock Windows does not seem to recognize at the start.
  If we remove the drive from the Dynadock and plug it into the port on the laptop, then it works great.

  Some of our users work great so its definitely possible for Windows read the Dynadock disc when starting, but for others it isn't.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thanks for sharing this!

• How can I remove optical drive of the Satellite P300-156?

  Hello

  I just ordered a HD-DVD-R (Toshiba SD-L902A) for my P300-156 drive, but I don't see how I can remove my existing laptop DVD - RW drive.

  Does anyone know how this can be done without opening the case?

  Hello

  To remove the CD/DVD drive, first remove the screws of this CURIOUS.
  The screw is hidden under the keyboard.
  Therefore, you will need to remove the keyboard first.
  The keyboard is fixed with 2 screws. These screws are hidden beneath the thin plastic (door-KB)
  First, you must remove this support KB to get access to these two screws.
  After you remove the keyboard, you will find a screw that holds the ODD. Remove it and disconnecting an optical disc drive to the connector on the system board.

  But note; Be careful and all you are doing is at your own risk AND PERIL!

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• Satellite A200 - 1 2 has no DRIVE in the BIOS

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A200 - 1 2 and I can not see the SATA HDD in bios, or start. I checked if the hard drive has the power and he has some, any other ideas?

  Hmm, you say that it does not appear in the BIOS?
  Try to start the A200 and check the operating system device manager.
  The HARD drive should be listed.

  By the way; I have a laptop with a SATA HDD too and in the BIOS homepage appears only as Toshiba MK1637GSX HARD drive name. Nothing mentioned about SATA.

  I imagine that the same details appear in the BIOS you.

• Adding second hdd to dv7-7000 will break the warranty?

  I want to add ssd as a second hdd to my dv7-7000 and I'm curious to know if this way I have the warranty

  Hi, congratulations on your purchase! If you have an option to add a secondary HARD drive, you will be certainly able to do that (not sure SSD/non-SSD), however, which certainly does not cancel the warranty.

  Just make sure you get the right part.

• Installation of XPS 8700 2nd hard drive. Not recognized by Windows 8, but the BIOS sees

  Hello

  I installed a Segate Barcuda 3 to hard drive as my 2nd HDD in XPS 8700. I connected the Sata 2 port (sata 3).

  In the BIOS, I can see that, under SATA 3, there is a 3 TB drive. But, when it comes to Windows 8, OS does not recognize it. In this regard, any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  For Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned, formatted, and received a letter from reader, using Windows Disk Manager.

• Portege R500 - Bad optical drive delays the start - how to fix?

  The Portege R500 has recently begun does not start. Initially there not some time later, frequently. By chance, I discovered that if I left alone for a minute or two, he will continue to start. That and the noise coming from the optical driver, made me suspect the problem was not with the HARD drive, as I feared at first, but with the optical driver.

  I read in the thread below that other people had this problem. MrBear mentions * I pulled it out again and pushed on the Ribbon connecting the CD-ROM to make sure they were safe. Turned on again and he pulled up without problem! *

  Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=43300&tstart=0]

  Could someone clarify in what ribbons must be treated? Only those who are visible by opening the drive? Or it is necessary to open the notebook?

  Furthermore, if I booted into Windows, it stopped again, for a minute or two, while Windows is loading. With Ubuntu, there is no such problem. Perhaps Windows tries to communicate with the optical driver for some reason any.

  Tnaks for any help!

  Hello!

  Is your laptop still under warranty? If so I put t understand why you try to solve the problem by yourself. Go to the nearest EPA and ask a technician for help. These guys are very useful and they have the most experience on laptop repairs.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  And the problem with Windows, it is difficult to tell why Windows stops for a minute. Maybe it s a software problem so disable all programs that you start n t need in msconfig.

• Qosmio G20 - XP doesn't see second HARD drive, but the BIOS is

  Hello

  Mylène for the long post - but think if give good info, I poss of correct answer:

  After the crash of QOSMIO G20... managed to reinstall of XP Recovery DVD-ROM. Immed after, looked at the config with Win Explorer and two hard drives all present and correct. even copied a picture of my images on the D: drive, just to make sure that all aok.

  Then downloaded SP3 and tried to install - it reported failure and then shut down the PC. After attempts to get again - until finally resorted to reuse the Recovery DVD-ROM.
  Come back XP again - but now, while the BIOS sees two hard drives (reports size, Fab details, etc.), as far as Windows is concerned, it does not exist.

  Tried to initialize in disk management - no sign there.
  He was then released, put it in a shopping cart, connected to the office and initialized and formatted - then returned to mobile... zilch!

  Your kind suggestions and recommendations could save just the remaining strands terrified of hair of a violent end...

  A lot of TIA
  Logis

  Hello House,

  Normally, if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive, but not Windows, this means that the HARD disk is not formatted, but it must be visible under the Windows disk management.
  You see it now?

  If not it is not easy to say what the reason are you should try load default settings in the BIOS and save it. Then start Windows and check if HDD is visible there too.

  In the worst case, it s that a malfunction of the HARD disk controller, but what you can test if swap you the two drives and put them in another location.
