Satellite U400-138: can I move the folder of recovery

Hello

I just bought my nw laptop Toshiba (U400-138 to be precise).
It came with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled with the possibility to recover the HARD disk. When installing the disk has been partitioned like this:

C: / 145 GB - Windows Vista
E: / 150 GB - Data

The E drive the folder of HARD disk recovery.
The problem here is that I would use Linux instead of Vista and also I want to re - partition the drive in a different way.

So here are my questions:

1.) it is possible to move the folder of disk recovery HARD to separate and perhaps much more small partition (6 GB or more) without doing any harm to its functionality? I want to keep just in case

2.) I lose my warranty if I install Linux?

Thx for your replies ;)

Hello

(1) If you change the folder or delete file recovery that you will not be able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive!
That is why it s is strongly recommended to create a diskette using the creative tool for recovery disk pre-installed Toshiba's own recovery.
If you create this DVD then you are on the right side and you can change everything on the HARD drive. If something goes wrong, you will be able to restore the operating system using this disk.

(2) No, you will not lose warranty if install you Linux

  • Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

    Hallo,

    My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
    but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
    So I do not have these data recovery.

    So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    How can I work around that?

    Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

  • Satellite U400 - How can I change the lighting?

    Hi there, sorry - maybe its an old question, but I haven't found an answer here.

    I bought a laptop Satellite U400 PSU44E 13.3 inches.

    How can I turn on the lights on the keyboard?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy

    Hello!

    Lighting you can enable/disable in the BIOS. There you should find an option to do this and it should be set to activate.

    But as far as I know the keyboard, there is no lighting. It is possible that the touchpad and multimedia keys between the screen and the keyboard.

  • How can I move the folder of my users on a different Partition?

    Hi, I recently bought Windows 7 for my PC.

    I want to know how to move my complete record of users (C:\Users) to my D drive partition, that make (D:\Users) and then remove the users from the C drive folder, so that all my files and user data are stored on my D drive partition, since my C drive is for the OS and drivers only. Now, I know that you can move files within your name in the users, by right-click folder and clicking on the location tab, but this option is not available on the users folder itself. If it is not possible to move all of the users folder, find at least one solution where I can move my folder by name (C:\Users\Jord) D drive instead.

    Thanks in advance

    -Jordan

    I answered this question at least three times in the last few days/weeks. Please visit the following links. Some are on the folder C:\Users (work folder to be more general) while others refer to the same concept, but for different folders. I hope this helps.

  • Satellite U400-138: how to activate Bluetooth in Ubuntu device

    I have a new Toshiba Satellite U400-138.
    This is the version of Centrino with Intel GMA4500HD graphics card and Intel 5100 a/g/n wireless.

    If I understand correctly, the Bluetooth adapter is * turned off by default * and a special * command ACPI * is required to activate it. I use the linux 2.6.27rc8 kernel and it has two drivers - * toshiba and toshiba_acpi *. These cannot be inserted into the 'No Such Device' kernel.

    The reason is probably that these drivers only work with the Toshiba BIOS. This model has a Phoenix BIOS.

    So, how can I activate the Bluetooth market adapter and stop on this model?

    Hey Buddy

    Unfortunately, Linux is not supported before you wait days here I recommend you to enjoy some Ubuntu forum and ask I think that, in the meantime, we solve problems WLAN but BT. It can be further complicated theme.

    Good luck and post your new activity. It may be interesting for other fans of Linux.

  • Move the folder of Photos on an external drive

    Hello my MacBook Air is near capacity. I'm going through iTunes and Photos on an external drive to free up disk space on the internal drive. I searched the threads and found the right solution for iTunes. I moved the entire iTunes folder to the external drive. Then, in the Advanced tab of iTunes preferences, I made the file to the new location on the external hard drive. That worked very well.

    Now, I'm ready to try the same process with my library of Photos (which also includes years of photos iPhoto migrated). Can I move the folder full of images (as I did with iTunes) or simply pictures library on external drive? My suspicion is the entire pictures folder, because it also contains the migrated iPhoto Pictures folders, Lightroom, Adobe and Photo Booth also. After searching for the discussions, it is not clear to me how to do it with pictures.

    Thank you

    Jon

    You can move either; Once completed, launch Photos with the key Option key, click library and choose the one on the external hard drive. ITunes library should be moved in the same way rather than change the setting in the preferences.

  • Can I move the destination of Documents on Dropbox folder

    iMac, last El Capitan.

    Captivate 9.0.0.0.23

    I had to move the folder my projects in Adobe Captivate to Dropbox, as I will be away from home for a bit. I needed to be able to access the files while there.

    I have Captivate just put them there for a second backup off site, in addition to my Time Capsule. I have an alias in the Documents, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Thoughts?

    Thank you, guys.

    Not in Captivate, I'm afraid. Activation of the backup feature creates a file .cptx in doubles, with the .bak extension added to the same place as your Captivate project file.

    Also (I don't know if the behavior of the box under El Capitan it will trigger) but If it is mounted as a volume on the desktop - you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to set up a scheduled task that runs when DropBox connects and copy the files of Captivate recently changed on DropBox.

  • Satellite U400-138: VPN Service cannot be installed on WiFi.

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400-138 with Intel WiFi Link 5100.

    Some companies - such as Cisco and Citrix - use * deterministic Network Enhancer *: a service that allows other services (like VPN) use the computer hardware. And my company uses the Cisco VPN client.

    It is not possible to use the Cisco VPN Client by wireless with my Toshiba Satellite U400-138. The reason is * deterministic Network Enhancer * (DNE). DNE is installed with my card Ethernet Marvell Yukon (no problem), but Intel WiFi Link 5100 does not allow installing DNE. If you open "Network connections", if you look at the 'properties' of each connection after installation of the Cisco VPN client deterministic network (DNE) is only associated with Marvell Yukon. But I can't use VPN on my WiFi.

    I found a solution for Lenovo: [http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/ | http://www.wfu.edu/~yipcw/lenovo/t400/intel-5100-vpn/] but unfortunately it back do not work with Toshiba (see images on this Web page!). I think it is * Intel * problem but maybe Toshiba can find a solution?

    I think that this problem DNE may be an issue for other customers of Toshiba as Cisco and Citrix them frequently use in their products. For example, my company have invested to Cisco VPN.

    Kind regards

    Jacek.

    Hello

    If have a U400 and I installed the CiscoAnyconenct.
    It s a VPN connection and it works properly!

    I have an Intel WLan 4965AGN card. But usually it s any WLan card is
    The VPN should work with any connection.

    But using VPN you can get access to some networks in your company, but in my case that other links do not work while the VPN connection is established.

  • Satellite U400-138 - how to activate special keys?

    Hello

    the problem for the subject [Satellite U400 - 138 Volume - software problem wheel | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=148001] I found a stupid bug in the software Toshiba Satellite U400-138 special keys. There is no way to fight them!

    In the Toshiba Satellite U400-138 model I have 6 special buttons: drive, CDDVD, and "Play/Pause", "stop", 'rev back', 'rev forw. Using of the * Toshiba Assist * I have control over TWO of them - there is a list of TWO in the bottom of the * settings button * program - I can choose between the drive and CDDVD. In addition, this program do... nothing! I tested if I can open Notepad with this CDDVD button, but I couldn't. The program closes, and even after restarting the touch CDDVD always opens Windows Media Player. * And four other buttons are not active at all! * How can I join a program? Which program is the other 4 button use? They seems interesting, especially with LED lighting for * drive *, but in my opinion * there is no way to use them *!

    Are they useless?

    Any suggestions?

    Concerning

    Jacek.

    They are certainly not useless. Do you really believe that Toshiba will offer unnecessary buttons? ;)

    Have you tested the feature with the factory settings? It works properly with the Toshiba recovery image? I have the same buttons on my Satellite and everything works perfectly. I use Winamp too. No problem at all. So I wonder what you do with your laptop.

    In your ad, I can not even find information what operating system you are using.

  • Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

    Hello

    I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
    I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

    When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
    Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

    Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

    Hey Buddy

    I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
    The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

    Hello

    I have a U400 also, but the PSU40E and installed Win XP SP3.
    I can use Hibernate mode and standby without big problems.

    Just a question; You update the BIOS?
    I did and installed the latest version of the BIOS from the page of the European driver Toshiba before I ve installed Win XP.

    In addition, I would like to know if you use the Toshiba Power saver.
    Toshiba Power saver was chosen in my power options Windows and I can go to sleep mode by pressing FN + F3.
