• Satellite U840W-C9S - Windows 8 installation and effective use of SSD

  I am trying to install Windows 8 on my Toshiba Satellite U840W C9S.

  It has two disks: * HDD (500 GB) * and * SSD (32 GB) *. Originally, my computer has Windows 7 HP, and, as I understand it, SSD has acted as a cache, so that Windows has been installed on the HARD drive.

  I installed Windows 8 at the disk and started looking for information on the ssd as cache usage.
  But it turns out that you must set the SATA RAID mode in BIOS, but I don't have the option here.

  This is why when I install technology Intel Rapid Storage (which is used to configure the SSD as cache) there is no option to use the SSD as cache.

  It is clear that my computer used to treat the SSD somehow. The question is, how can I use SSD + effective + (not only as another hard drive, but as cache, for example)?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  > It turns out that you must set the SATA RAID mode in BIOS, but I don't have the option here.

  This option isn't available in the BIOS because the RAID is still active / active.

  To use the QuickStart, you must follow these steps:
  -Firstly the Intel IRST utility must be installed
  -Now go to the disk (win key + X-> disk management) management and format the SSD drive. In this case the SSD will be visible in the Explorer (windows Explorer)
  -Now right click on the SSD drive, choose Properties and here you should find a tab (don t know exactly how its called) that contains the option for the quick start

  I hope that this will be functions, otherwise there is no other way to effectively use the SSD drive

• Qosmio F60 Win 7 clean installation and drivers

  Hello
  I would like to clean install win 7 64 bit on my F60. I've worked on how to change my boot sequence, [with the help of this forum], so I'm ready to format & reinstall. However my concerns relate to reinstall specific drivers for the F60... Any advice on this process would be appreciated. Is it a matter of just download from [http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/qosmio/f60/pqf65a-00y002/download?os=25] & installation that I need. If this can be difficult?
  Any thoughts & guidance appreciated
  Lantana cordially

  Here also to update bios... is there a process step by step for that too?

  Hello

  If your Qosmio F60 is an Australian model, you can download all the drivers and tools of the Australian page. So that s in the right place for this.

  Otherwise, follow the installation order posted by Akuma. Also check the content of the forum, you will find enough discussions about the order of installation. Personnel chipset driver must be installed in the first place.
  Don t forget the LAN/WLAN and Bluetooth driver

  Before you begin to install another OS, make sure that you have created the successfully recovery disk.

• Office Jet 6110: OJ 6110 in Win 8.1 Installation and support all features

  Just moved this old printer a computer Win 8.1. Cannot find a full star driver that will run. I can print, but the scan options are very limited; for example cannot convert a scanned as pdf document. Where can I get a driver that supports completely the printer, as I had with Windows XP.

  Hello

  I'm afraid that you can't have all of the features you had in XP, only a basic set of drivers is available for your printer for Windows 8:

  You can try a freeware software such as NATIONAL action plans that allow scanning to PDF and check if that can provide you with additional features:

• LR5 installation and first use

  I bought LR5 and installed on my PC. the icon appears, but when I click it, it asks me if I want to download the free trial version. I can't be able to access the full version I bought. can someone help me?

  Thank you for your replies and suggestions!

  After a lot of frustration and 2 friends "Tecchie" trying to help me and not to know, I finally called Adobe customer support! Basically, what happened is that in the process of download LR, I signed up for the cloud (they invite you to do so) and ended up downloading the version of LR cloud, instead of the standard version of LR. then of course my serial number was not working.

  technical support helped me disintall version I had downloaded and send me a link to the appropriate injector.

  ponymad9, if this is your problem, try this, it should work! apparently it's a standard error beginners like me do...

• Satellite U840W - disc cannot be displayed in disk part operating system does not start

  Yesterday I tried to boot my laptop Toshiba Satellite U840W (PSU5XA-001006) and it came with no bootable device - please reboot

  When I try to view the disc in the part of the disk, it cannot see that the USB key that I use to try to reinstall Win 8. In the setup of windows 8 I can't display the installation discs. I can't run the recovery because I don't have a recovery disk and repair does not work as it says that the disk is locked.

  Don't know what I can do now, would be grateful for all those who had suggestions.

  Of course, there is a problem with the internal HARD drive.
  If it is not listed in the BIOS (BIOS first page) then the HARD drive died and that's why the system cannot be found.

  I guess that in this case, there is only one solution: HARD drive needs to be replaced and the system must be installed again.

• Satellite U840W - no RAID on BIOS option after PC repair

  Hello

  I bought a U840W of August from a British seller on eBay (although I live in France). After a few months of work perfectly, he had some water damage, and I sent it to Toshiba for repair. Apparently because my warranty was valid in the United Kingdom, they gave to CONTROLS for repair (a company that sells PC Toshiba parts). They changed the motherboard (I think twice, because I had to send it because the fan was not working and they said they changed the motherboard again).

  So after getting it back finally with the fan, I notice that the startup is very slow (30 sec instead of 10), and also, it was a bit slower. So I update all my drivers and notice that the caching SSDS does not work (using the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology), initially, he showed the SSD as unknown but then after completely with diskpart, it showed as available (for storage, but not for caching) ", this means no acceleration tab).

  So after reading a lot, I enter the BIOS and see that I have had no RAID option for the SATA controller, only AHCI and compatibility (IDE).

  Don't you think that they put the wrong mother with RAID disabled?
  My BIOS version is also 6.90 and I find only 6,80 BIOS for my computer, don't you think they have access to the latest version of the BIOS, or simply that they have put another motherboard?

  Is it possible to downgrade the BIOS to 6.80 (I don't know if it will help to solve it but maybe)?

  I didn't contact Toshiba on the phone because it's quite expensive, I preferred to ask your opinions before here.

  Thanks in advance

  > Do you think they put the wrong mother with RAID disabled?
  No, I don't think so.

  As far as I know after a replacement of SSD or HARD disk on the Mobile Satellite U840W the RAID mode is configured and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) is not available.

  To rebuild mode factory RAID, RAID mode should be rebuild and TSRI must be activated using special tools.
  But as far as I know that this can be done by the maintainer agreed Toshiba.

  You should get in touch with the guys once more and must explain the cell phone number.
  I guess they should know how to solve this problem.

• Satellite U840W-10J - noisy fan and the version of the bios

  Hello

  more top of the machine when you run tempro said new version of bios is available, the link to it is [Satellite U840W BIOS 6, 40 - WIN | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 198 & selProduct = 7570 & selSh ortMod = null & language = 13 & selOS = 40 & selType = 4 & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 84640 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  But when I go to the bios, it says the version of bios is already 6.4 - which is strange since the release of this version of the bios date is 10/07/13. And I don't know that I don't have day of the bios for this version this month :)

  Why does say new version is available?
  Would be - that there's a newer version available, that only that it binds to an evil?
  Even if I download and try to install it, it says that this version of the rom is the same.

  Second question is noisy fan, most of the time is at very high speed (and because of the odd design, when the laptop is open, screen - which becomes really hot fan).
  Since no other laptop I used make these noises, if I really need to update for the bios? But which version?

  Health Monitor shows the 77% fan speed - and I'm not playing games or whatever it is, cpu is always below 10%, I m doing nothing, just a light browsing can turn up to such percentage. What I've noticed, is that it becomes this top still when HARD drive this is - like application installation, download updates, etc... I have download the latest drivers intel to drive HARD, all drivers are more recent. Or is it only noisy due to bad design (fan blowing on screen), and I can use it for heavy work and just have to ignore the noise of the fan?

  Last updated driver to trackpad kills finger double scroll btw, so, maybe you guys could solve the problem too? Since I had to go back to the old version.

  BTW, the machine is only two days old

  I think that you should not be confused on BIOS. Maybe there is a problem with Tempro. This process runs automatically and it is possible that there is a technical problem. If you have latest BIOS is OK so Don t you worry about this. Just continue to use your laptop and don t change anything.

  What about cooling fan? Cooling fan is controlled automatically and according to the temperature CPU cooling fan works more rapid or slower. When you play the games you need more performance, so use leverage plan high performance. For each day of activities, use the balanced power plan. It will reduce the CPU usage, but it will be good enough for low level activities. What you can try is to change the options for the method of cooling. You can find it in the advanced power options. It should reduce fan cooling and portable activity should run quietly.

  Play around with these options.

  In recent weeks, my pc comes to a grinding halt.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  From time to time is advised to reinstall the whole OS.
  After a long period of use and installation and reinstallation of the different applications, the BONE becomes slow. That s nothing unusual.

  Next to the new installation of the operating system, you could disable some background process is not necessary using the msconfig.
  Run MSCONFIG and disable some of the processes tab in the start menu.

• Improper shutdown on Satellite U840W

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U840W laptop (Windows 7) and after about 15 minutes of inactivity it stops. When I go to start it again, it goes through the process of 'improper shutdown' and Windows does a check for a solution.

  Is this normal or is it a setting I need to look?

  Any help much appreciated.

  Would it be possible that your laptop has been preloaded with Win 8?
  You reinstall Windows 7 using a clean Windows 7 disk?
  If so, have you installed all the drivers Win 7 driver Toshiba page?

  From my point of few, it would be possible that the laptop turns off due to low battery.

  Does the laptop powers off all on battery? Or when it s connected to the power outlet?

  It would be also possible that turns off due to power management settings (or the parameters defined in the ECO utility)

  Your comments would be greatly appreciated
