• Satellite A350: How to change the size of the partitions on the HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satalite A350 with a 250 G, but for some reason hard drive any, that it has been partitioned with 114 for the C drive and a huge 114 for drive E g which is simply the recovery disc. I'm now at 20 g on the C, but still have a Virgin 100 g on the e.

  I guess that my computer has been incorrectly partitioned, and I know that I can reduce the E but this will increase the C?
  See you soon

  Hello

  AFAIK, you can reduce the partitions in managing disks (Vista and Win 7).
  But if you reduce the E partition so the free space would be available after the E partition and you will not be able to add this free space on the C partition, which is placed behind the E partition.

  But maybe a tool of partitions 3rd third party could help you

  It is a great free tool called Gparted.

• Satellite L655-149: recovery does not work with the new HARD drive

  Satellite L655-149

  PSK1JE

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (factory installed)

  Recovery of HARD drive on drive D (factory installed)

  My old toshiba (MK5065GSX) 500 GB hard drive became too noisy and slow so I plan to replace it with the new drive hard toshiba (MK5059GSXP) 500 GB.

  I created USB Flash HARD drive recovery.
  When the installation is complete and Setup installs devices an error "Windows Setup couldn't configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer.

  I've updated the bios
  I loaded by default in the bios
  I changed the SATA AHCI mode to compatibility IDLE

  assistance in this regard will be highly appreciated

  Set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  With the installation of recovery, there is a problem: either it works or not. If this isn't the case, bad luck and the only solution for you is to order original Toshiba recovery DVD on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  By the way: do you use that stick of recovery for the first time?

• Satellite A205 - Vista backup center and restoration with a WiFi hard drive

  I use Vista Ultimate Center of backup and restore to back up hard drive of my laptop Satellite A205 series on a wireless external hard drive. The external hard drive (which is formatted in NTFS) is directly attached (via USB) to my wireless router Belkin low, instead of being connected directly on my laptop.

  I know that this WiFi network hard drive is recognized by my laptop series Satellite A205, because it appears as "Drive Z:" when I click on 'My Computer'... but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my laptop Satellite A205 only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with built-in WiFi) network.

  By contrast, the version of the backup center and restaurant located on my computer to my lists one office (also Vista), drives on the computer at first - but it includes a "more:"hyperlink by which someone with rights Admin can click and access the network drives. "

  This "more:"hyperlink does not appear on the version of the backup center and restore on my laptop Toshiba Satellite 205. "

  I can't even someone at Microsoft to talk to me without first
  $ 69.95 for the 'privilege '.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi irsharp23,

  > but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my Satellite A205 laptop only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with WiFi built-in) network.
  Laughing out loud
  I think that's not a junk Toshiba. Center backup and restore is designed by Microsoft and Toshiba has nothing to do with it. So I think you need to get in touch with the guys at Microsoft to ask for a solution, or there may be an update for this tool.
  Did you check that?

  Moreover, why n t connect the external DRIVE directly to your laptop drive? I don't see a reason to connect such a disc HARD backup over the network, because this image of backup can be used only on your laptop.

  Alternative, I can recommend Acronis True Image to record images of backup on the network or if you use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize your files between laptops and network. ;)

• Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

  I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

  If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?

  If 'Yes'... what could be.

  I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum

  @Lord_Nikon

  In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

  He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

  One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

  

• Satellite U920T: Change internal SSD 128 GB to 500 GB of SSD drive

  The internal drive SSD 128 GB of my Toshiba Satellite U920T-101 is to small.
  How can I change the internal SSD 128 GB a new 500 GB SSD drive.
  Is there a manual to change SSD?

  Thank you very much.

  Because of the design specific SSD should be upgraded to authorized service. To have full access to build SSD almost the entire machine must be dismantled, so I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and seek advice and they can help you with this.

• Satellite A200-28R - new 500 GB HARD drive not recognized

  Hi all!

  The BIOS cannot recognize my new 500 GB SATA HARD drive. When I connect it to the laptop, BIOS says "No device" in the drive options. Tried jumper allows you to change the interface of disc HARD SATA-1, but without effect.
  How can I force the BIOS to recognize?

  Toshiba Satellite A200-28R
  BIOS version: Phoenix v.2.60 for Vista
  HARD drive: Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA

  BTW: my old 250 GB HDD works fine

  Hello

  Have you tried the drive in another computer?

  Maybe your new drive HARD isn t working properly or defective so use another rnotebook to test it or request a replacement HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro A210 - error recovery after a new installation of HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a satellite pro 210 (bios v1.6) has died the HARD drive.

  I bought a new WD Scorpio Blue 250 GB HARD drive and ran the reinstall drive (I've done exactly this for a friends Equium a month or so back and all worked flawlessy!)

  Everything worked fine until the first re-boot, went through the usual stuff:
  Please wait a moment while windows starts for the first time
  Then a windows background, spinning slider with waiting message please, much HDD activity
  Then the sudden error:
  "Installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

  Does anyone have ideas, what it might be?
  A google search suggests the sata bios settings, but I do not see in the configuration of the bios page.
  In my view, there is a new bios v2 by download - would this help?
  If so how can I install it when the computer does not start vista? Or any other suggestions?

  Thanks for reading.

  Cheers, Stephen

  Hello

  The SATA driver is not necessary if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk because the image on the recovery disk contains the SATA driver.
  So there must be other reason for it.

  In your case, I recommend setting the BIOS settings by default and start over once the recovery procedure.
  Maybe something went wrong during the configuration of the OS if second installation is worth a try

• Satellite L670 - 1 DG-can I use a 7200 RPM HARD drive?

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite L670 - 1 DG (out of warranty) and I would change the HARD 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM drive.
  It is technically possible on this machine? Is is necessary to use a Toshiba HDD (or open)?

  Thanks for your replies.
  Laurent

  Of course, you can use and must not be Toshiba HDD.
  The only thing that can happen is that this HARD drive fastest heat producing a bit more where the HARD drive is placed can so be a little warmer than usual.

  All that s.

• Satellite A35-S159 - can I upgrade the CPU, GPU and HARD drive?

  Hey

  I have one in my possession and I wanted to make a good game.

  I don't know if I'll be able to cause. It hurts thinking may be able to put a processor duo or quad, and I do not know if the CPU will be able to support a really good graphics card, and I also think about changing hard drive.

  Any1 know what hard drives are compatible with what I can use which are good for games?

  Hello!

  I m wondering that you want to upgrade this old notebook. In my view, that a new laptop would be a better solution.

  On the CPU and GPU upgrade I can only say s is not possible and not Toshiba support. The GPU is soldered on the motherboard and t can be exchanged.
  I think you should read this: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  The HARD drive can be upgraded. This isn t a problem.
  AFAIK the A35 Satellite is equipped with a s IDE HDD and this means that you buy a drive HARD IDE interface up to 128 GB.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - use of the HARD Drive Caddy

  Hello

  When I got my new laptop the first think I did was to install an SSD.

  I don't usually use my optical Bay so I am planning to install a HARD drive enclosure.
  Someone has already done this, and if so have you had any problems? Also, what are data transfer speeds?

  Thank you

  Fraser

  I can't tell you if this extra HARD drive caddy will work in the Satellite Pro C50 series STRANGE Bay - A - 1 K 9 because that depends on the support of the BIOS and the controller.

  I read about these updates several times in different forums and to be stone, sometimes it is possible, but in many cases, the BIOS does not recognize this drive caddy HARD and laptop does not start.

  In the case where you have already tried these updates, please share the details with us!
  I think it would be very interesting for others, if this update worked correctly.

• Satellite M45 - does not start after restoration on the new HARD drive

  I installed a new PATA 250 GB HDD on my pc. The BIOS is configured to boot from CD/DVD. Toshiba Recovery disk started cold, start follow-up statement to load a new system on the HARD drive. He made a (quick) format on the HARD drive, spent 50 minutes, copy the files from the CD to the new HARD drive. Followed the instructions to remove the CD and reboot the pc. Did. I get the Toshiba homepage for 2-3 seconds, and then I get a white screen with a white block cursor in the upper corner of the LH of the screen. Looks like it does not find the block on the HARD disk?
  The procedure of collection 3 times with the same results. Checked the BIOS to check that it is configured to boot from the HARD disk after installation.

  The recovery CD is blank. Never used because I bought the PC (3.5 years). Put the new HARD drive in a USB enclosure and formatted with Windows, tried again with the same result? Put the old HDD, PC starts and works very well. Put the live CD Knoppix and boot from that, works very well. See the new HARD drive.

  Thus, any suggestions are appreciated. The recovery CD Toshiba is defective? In any case to test?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sounds like a problem with the recovery disk or the new HARD disk if your computer starts up fine with the old HARD drive...

  In your case before you start a lengthy discussion, you should try a Microsoft Windows disk to install Windows. If he work it seems that only the recovery disk is defective.

  Otherwise, the HARD disk must be defective. Maybe a bad sector or something else

• Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

  I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

  Hello

  It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
  If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

• Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

  Hello

  Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
  "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
  Press F2 to assume. »

  I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

  Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

  I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

  Help, please

  Hello

  This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
  This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
  It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
  It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

  I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
  I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

  Good luck
