• Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

  Hi all (first posting times)

  I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
  But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

  Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

  So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

  Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

  All your advice much appreciated kind.

  If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

  Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

  This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
  Imagine the following situation:
  You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

  In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

  If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
  I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.

• Satellite T130-15 t - cannot start, how do I back up my data?

  Hi all

  before to explain my problem, sorry for my bad English, I'm french (lol).

  So, I bought a Satellite T130-15 t in July 2010. I've never had a problem with, but yesterday, when I want to stop my Windows computer stopped without problems, but the computer does not stop (black screen and my computer never stopped). I push my "power" button a second time and it was good.

  But after that, I couldn't boot my laptop (when I pressed my button, it has no effect). I disconnected my battery of my laptop and plugging it back in, after that I have to reconnect my screen become white (my computer was "switched off" and my screen has been "activated" and white). And I could not turn on my computer.
  Given that my battery emptied and my screen turns off also.

  I have 2 questions:

  What is the problem?
  I need a return to my Toshiba product?
  I have in my data from the laptop I need absolutely.
  How can I remove it without losing my Toshiba warrantly? Then I go to "authorized service center" that can extract my hard drive, copy of my data, and this without losing my warranty?

  I hope that my message is understandable lol.
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  > I need a return to my Toshiba product?
  No, you can t back of your laptop. It s according to your country, but normally you only have 14 days to return. After that, it is not possible to s.

  > How can I retrieve it without losing my Toshiba warrantly? Then I go to "authorized service center" that can extract my hard drive, copy of my data, and this without losing my warranty?
  If you go to an authorized service provider your laptop can be repaired for free time guaranteed. So you n t have to pay for the repair.

  But backup your data are not covered by the warranty I think. So either you do it yourself or you ask the guy how much it will cost.

  In General if your cell phone doesn't starts (without screen) HARD drive installation and Windows is not affected so after repair, it should be possible to access all of your data and start again.

• Install upgrade-drive HARD T42 recovery discs but hard disk starts only in routine of Rescue and Recovery.

  I am doing a new installation in what follows rather than cloning because the system has not been reinstalled for 4 years.  A CD drive external usb (internal drive deleted), I installed the recovery disks on a 160 GB Samsung HM160HC PATA drive without problem.  Then you click on the button restart.  My T42 started immediately in the opening page of the routine of Rescue and Recovery.  On restart again once I use F12 to get the list of readers with the Samsung HDD.  This did not help.  Repeated many times start.  The computer could not watch any other player because the Samsung is the only one connected.  I'm tempted to download the update of the BIOS available from Lenovo that connected with the old 30 GB disk, while that my program of on-board controller is worm 3.04 and supposed to be suitable for the 160 GB drive upgrade.  If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

  Hi ned11wils,

  Once the machine has restarted in recovery environment, there is an option there to restore to factory condition?

  IIRC, on these older machines, the restoration is a two-step process.  First use the CD to recreate the environment of recovery, then start the environment recovery and restore from the recovery partition BONE now restored.

• Satellite Pro 4600: disk-read error occurs - press Ctrl Alt Del to restart

  I have a Pro 4600 which displays the error message "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart "as soon as TOSHIBA logo goes.

  The laptop was given to me because the person who had tried to move to XP Pro and don't could not make it work, error with the CD Rom drive and she deleated the old OS (Win2000) off the coast.

  I took the hard drive and did a fresh install of XP by attaching the drive to another computer. The hard disk starts well on the other computer, but I get the error message on the Pro 4600.
  Any ideas. I know that I need to replace the CD Rom, but if I can't make it work, I don't want to drop money in it for a new CD Rom

  Thank you, Bob

  Hello

  Are you sure that the CD drive is dead?
  I have goggled a bit on the net and found some practical information that there may be some HDD malfunction.
  Some guys advised to use the command CHKDSK C: /R to solve this problem.

  But if it's a cd player error, it should be possible to disable the drive in Device Manager.

• Capacity of the hard disk for NX9030

  Hello

  I have a laptop HP Compaq NX9030. The hard disk starts to show errors so I intend to replace it. Does anyone know if the laptop has a limited capacity for replacement hard drives?

  Thank you

  Dave

  You have the Intel 855 chipset. In order to launch a hard drive larger than 137 GB, you need help for 48-bit Large Block Addressing in the chipset, BIOS and operating system. I find contradictory information on the ability of the chipset 855 doing of 48bits LBA. I also wonder if ever taken HP worth of produce a BIOS that would make 48 bit LBA in this model being the biggest hard drive offered 60 gigs. In other words, I think you should assume 120 GB is size max hard drive you can use and the only way I can think to prove otherwise is to buy the largest disk and install it. Windows XP Sp1a and superior does not large drives.

• Satellite L450 - how do you start the recovery from the HARD disk?

  Hello world

  I just joined the forum and already I need help.

  I have 2 questions (10) I'm an ODP, and I volunteer for a local blind group who all have laptops and rewrite the textbooks in braille users. Now a desire to know how start recovery from the HARD disk drive and what you should do disks for this.

  and (2) another received a laptop computer Toshiba A 100 and it does not start as soon as the Toshiba screen appears it lacks a password, we tried all kinds of passwords, tails of start and a new record of program but it does not start. Can anyone help please.

  Ken

  For instructions how to recover a Toshiba laptop with verification of HARD drive recovery procedure please this document > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  The Satellite A100, I presume that you need BIOS password. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. Accredited maintainer Toshiba can remove the password for you.

• Satellite U405D-S2874: Question on the potential problem of hard disk

  Trying to fix a Satellite U405D-S2874 for a friend.
  As a first step, that it won't turn. Once I have re-seated hard drive, it turned on and starts very well.

  However, he still intermittently will not be powered from a power off State. I get a few indicators as power, load, etc., but at least I see Satellite logo light up, I know that it won't start/turn on fully and I get nothing on the screen.

  What is a problem with the hard drive, or the connection of drive hard, or...? I was wondering if we buy a new hard drive online, that will fix the problem.

  Thank you
  John

  > What is a problem with the hard drive, or the connection of drive hard, or...? I was wondering if we buy a new hard drive online, that will fix the problem

  I put t think that this problem could be linked to the defective HARD drive.
  Usually, the laptop must be able to turn on and the BIOS splash screen should be visible even if the HARD disk is defective.

  Moreover in most cases a message or underscore flashing appears on the screen if the HARD drive is malfunctioning

  However, it is possible to check the status of the HARD drive.
  Download the tool called Drive Fitness Test and test the HARD drive by using this software.
  If some errors would be detected, then you must replace the HARD drive.

  But if the HARD drive is ok, then I would recommend checking the RAM modules first.
  Test the laptop with a test module. Try the two slots.

  If it would not help you, then a motherboard must be verified but generally it is a work of a technician for laptop

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
  Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

• Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

  "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

  I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

  Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
  Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

  I'm stuck please help!

  Hello!

  If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

  I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

  Good bye

• Question on the hard disk on Satellite M40X

  I'm working on a clients M40x and the hard drive broke down and I would like to replace it and I have some options and I was wondering if they will work.

  Currently, there is a MK6025GAS in which is fried. Below are the options I have.

  1 MK6034GAX
  2 MK8032GAX

  Can I use a Maxtor? If Yes, what models?

  HUGE thanks :)

  Hi dude

  You can use the hard disks of each production. It s any HDD manufacturing is. The HARD drive is important! So you need a drive that supports the enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface!

  The SATA drives are not compatible.

  The MK6034GAX 60 GB HDD and MK8032GAX 80 GB HARD drive looks to support the ATA-100 interface (ATA-6). So, in my opinion, the hard drives must be compatible and should run

• Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

  Hello.

  Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
  That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

  Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

  Thanks for any help.

  Karim...

  Hello karim

  When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
  Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
  This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

  In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
  Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

  If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Good luck.

• Satellite 3000-214: after CPU upgrade no screen and no HARD disk activity

  Hey all,.
  I have a 3000-214 Satellite that comes originally with a PIII-M 933 Mhz. (SL5CG)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5cg.jpg

  I ordered on eBay a second hand replacement (1133 Mhz) CPU SL5CK. (same number of pins, the same processor family: RH80530)
  When I go in, the laptop starts, but there is nothing on the screen and no HARD disk activity.

  So I asked the seller if he had tested the CPU, it sent, he said no and sent me 2 CPUs of replacement, another SL5CG and a SL64Z (which does not appear on the Intel site for some strange reason, but which is of the same characteristics as the SL5CG..)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5ck.jpg
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl64z.jpg

  The two processors give the same result with nothing on the screen and no activity of the HARD drive either.
  I checked my BIOS, it is the latest version: 2.30.
  Some laptops in the series 3000 Satellite (e.g. 3000-601), are delivered with a 1133 Mhz CPU (SL5CK) and also share the same bios exactly like my 3000-214. (upgrades to the bios on Toshiba website for my 214 & 601 are the same exact links and MD5 are equal). Also the 3000-601 & 3000-214 share the same chipset: Intel 830MP.
  But for some reason, it does not.

  EC which could I missed?

  It is always possible that all 3 processors that I was sent by the seller are dead, but it would be strange at this point, I think.
  So my question is, anyone have any idea what I might try to work or have experience with the upgrade a Satellite 3000 CPU?

  My warranty is looooong Sub anyway, so if a Toshiba employee could check in the basis of how fast max CPU can be used on the Sat 3000-214, I would be very grateful.

  Thanks a bunch for any info.
  Kind regards

  Hello

  I studied a bit in the web and it seems that the Satellite 3000 has been bundled with Intel Mobile PIII 800, 850, 900, 1000 MhZ CPU

  I think that this will not work because of the speed of the CPU.
  In addition, I found this Toshiba document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W5000XR01.htm

  It is said that it is not possible to replace the processor in a laptop Tosh because processors are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP tape carrier package.

• Satellite A-P70-11V - HARD disk protection works without accelerometer?

  Hi all

  I'm new here.
  I did another post. In short, I'm expert enough in Toshiba Satellite laptops, but my new, Satellite P70-A-11V, a portable high professional range, had some problems. It came with Windows 8, which I upgraded to 8.1. Unfortunately, the degraded system so bad that all pendrives made plant. I have connected my Toshiba camcorder, and it also crashed the laptop.

  The search indexing was not working outside the C: drive. The pointer of an optical mouse has started to freeze for seconds on the screen.
  This last I believe was due to the low power USB ports.

  So, I really had no choice after 2 restorations system total and installed Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 SP1. Operating system almost seems ok, but I still have problems, and one of them is that but I'm trying to install the accelerometer utilities, there is no driver.

  I tried that Windows 8 x 64, but just, it does not appear on the list of services.

  I found that the utility of the HARD disk protection was also arrested, I searched this forum and someone said that the Intel Rapid Storage technology must be uninstalled. I did and my HDD is running... but I don't know if it's effective!

  I remember with the 8.1 Windows, the utility always shown a message on the upper right: Vibration is detected, the drive is temporarily closed, etc..

  She has been associated with some high tone sound indicating that the drive has been effectively stopped. Now I can shake it off the laptop, but no message appears, there is no sound.

  I checked all the boxes on the interface of protection of HARD drive to indicate if there are vibrations, but so far nothing. The drive protection is in place and running, but in the absence of use of the accelerometer, the protection of disk HARD just don't know when to act.

  Am I wrong? Can Toshiba fix this?

  All responses are greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Toshiba drivers and tools available to win 8 or 8.1 to win are not entirely comparable with Toshiba available for Win 7 OS software.
  Some drivers and tools that are available to win 8 don t exist for the Win 7 system.

  For example; commercial accelerometer or HDD Protection Utility released in particular to win 8 / Win system 8.1 and are not available for Win 7.

  But for Win 7, you can find the Toshiba VAP (value added package) and this package installs a range of important services that are an essential component of the Windows system and this PPV will perform the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

  Therefore, you must install the VAP as Toshiba's first tool to ensure that other software such as HDD/SSD Alert Utility or PC Health Monitor
