Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

Hello

I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

> Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

  • 80 GB SSD drive Alienware-only 11 display in concert.

    When I specced my laptop, I chose this for the HD option.

    750 GB at 7200 RPM / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s + 80 GB SSD Caching mSATA

    Yet when I go to system information window it tells me that my SSD drive is

    Size 10.50 GB (11,271,139,328 bytes)

    I have an infestation of moths incredibly small HD and hunger, or did something clever with my other Dell 69Gig?

    It is indeed an mSATA 80G drive - however, it is probably dedicated to start fast, and part of it is defined as a cache for the main hard drive.  The partition that is left is the one you see.  If you want to install Windows on it, you will have to disable the cache function and repartition the disk SSD for WIndows (and 80G will no doubt limit that you can install - although it will help you get started, it will be not difficult to outperform a WIndows 80 G drive).

  • Hard drive shows only 32 GB

    Hello

    I own as a HP Pavilion dv6830us laptop w / Windows Vista Home Premium bought a few years ago.  The original WD25 - BEVS hard drive has failed.  I bought a WD Scorpio Black 500 GB WD5000BPKT to replace.  Installed the two recovery discs purchased from HP.  Entering Windows after the restoration, a window popped up and said "unrecoverable error" and prompted me to turn off the laptop.  This would happen whenever I rebooted the computer.  Eventually I realized that this was the program file HP installer which has been the cause, so I managed to access msconfig before the message popped up and disable start-up.  Now I find myself with a Windows installation with absolutely no extra software on this subject.

    That said, I was frustrated, but happy to simply reinstall everything.  Then I discovered that Windows displays the hard drive as 32 concerts, with less of a free concert.  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of HP.  Then I downloaded Western Digital Diagnostics software, and under the physical disk box, it recognizes the model and capacity (500 GB).  Under the logical drive box, it shows the file system NFTS, total space 34,37 GB and 1.05 GB of free space.

    I would like to know how to solve this problem, as this whole process took more than 2 months and honestly, it's been a nightmare.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

    The following Microsoft link should help, please remember when to extend a partition, make sure that you have a backup of all your programs and data first.  There is always the risk that something might fail and with what it is your primary drive, you could lose it all.

    I looked through all the other posts of undetectable usb flash drives but not talked about "Device Manager", where I can see the "F:" drive - I know not how to access because its not visible anywhere else.

    It is a simple flash 4 GB dongle, I'm on Windows 7 - it used to work properly and appear in my computer, but this isn't all of a sudden. It does not appear on other computers, but I can see it under ' devices and printers under "Mass Storage Device" - and "navigation files" gives me a gray would be on "removable disk F:"

    Have a formatting or something by accident or changed a setting that makes it invisible. Or is it just screwed!

  • Satellite U940 Windows 10 update, very slow start to the top

    Hello

    It looks after upgrade to win10, the SSD is not used to quickly boot up the laptop.
    How can this problem be solved?

    In tools, defragment disc, it shows all of my partitions as SSD drive so I can't defragment.
    Why are they displayed as SSD? I think that the basic motivation is a 500 gb HHD and only a 32 GB SSD is included.

    Also in the management of the computer disk SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB of capacity and is not used (all 11.22 GB free)

    Hello

    Reach:
    Control Panel-> system security & -> administrative tools-> computer-> disk management management

    Now you should see the connected USB external HDD, but also the other drive HARD internal (containing the different partitions).

    Choose the USB HARD drive. Usually the system will ask you to initialize the disk. Select the disk and GPT (guid partition table) this is recommended for disks larger than 2 TB.
    After that it will show that the disk space is not allocated. Now, you need to click right on that unallocated spade and select new simple volume to format.

  • Satellite C660: HARD drive space shows only 20 GB of free?

    Toshiba Satellite c660 with 320 GB of disk space, it shows that 2 hard drives or 2 partitions, one called data shows only 20.6 GB of free on 148, but when I go in there I can only find at maximum approximately 50 GB even with all the backups?

    Hello

    There are more partitions on the HARD drive.
    You can see it in disk management.
    Right click on computer and select manage.
    Now you should be able to go to the disk management which will show you all the available partitions.

    A hidden partition is used for the Windows 7 backup files that are needed to fix the Windows 7 in the case where something goes wrong with the OS.
    Then, you can find a Windows partition and the other partition is used for HARD drive recovery. The point is that you are able to run the system recovery from the HARD drive without the use of the recovery disc (recover disk must be created using the recovery disc creator)

  • Satellite U940 - Random BSOD after replacing HARD drive

    Good day ladies and gentlemen!

    I was wondering if I can win some lights here - as I google myself in a bunch of flange on the issue, I have!

    I am a famous computer technician (modest too) and more recently, a client of mine introduced me to a ultrabook Satellite U940 - lovingly with the SSD / HDD Raid 0 configuration running our beloved Windows 8.

    All things according to their entire course - Hitachi hard drive failed (as google tells me is to be expected).

    So, I replace the hard drive by a great little number Western Digital, cloned from Hitachi, sector by sector, and after a significant cajoling with bcdedit and bootrec amount, I could so he could begin our good liked Windows 8.

    However, since then, I have random BSOD, cold boots failed and all sorts of errors.

    I ran all the regular patches - SFC/scannow, chkdsk/r, Windows 8 repair facilities, etc., but it is still volatile jolly.

    Things seem not to be as they were with this Satellite little ol '-before any repair, the peripheral device manager showed two "RAID 0' in the category of hard drives, and since then it shows the individual SSD and the WD HARD drive."

    I've updated the driver for the Intel Rapid Storage at latest on the Toshiba site, but nothing helps - alas!
    The weird part is that if I do a reboot on this little beauty, she starts without any problems, but a start cold after a power off is a completely different question - dummy - spit crashing, dumping, in general!

    If there is a troubleshooting there champion who can destroy my help in this situation, I'd be very impressed and never have if they could provide assistance in this regard.

    Unfortunately Microsoft - are we are all end by using these products of ever-so-pretty Appl?

    Hello

    I read in some discussions here in this forum only after replacing the disk SSD or HARD drive, the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuilt on a device Windows 8.

    But this can be done very easily, and this can be corrected by an authorized Toshiba because this procedure requires special tools and utilities.

    Unfortunately, it seems to me that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get this problem resolved :(

  • Ubuntu on Toshiba Satellite U940 - startup of: SSD

    Hi guys,.

    I think buy Toshiba Satellite U940. The reason is that he a dimmable-up ultrabook so I'll buy 16 GB of ram and a 120 GB of msata SSD. I'm going to install ubuntu. But because I'm not sure that two important things, I would ask you first.

    1. can you the msata SSD was seen directly from the bios? I want to install ubuntu on it and also to have my case start and all programs there. I ask this question because I read somewhere msata SSD it is only for the purpose of the cache and cannot be seen directly because it is in RAID mode. So can we get around this thing from the bios? I just only to manipulate the msata SSD as a disk driver normal in my bones. It is this possible?

    2 are all drivers for Toshiba Satellite available for ubuntu linux U940?

    Thank you guys for your time.
    Harry

    Hi Harry

    Good to hear about your projects!

    I can't answer your question exactly since I don't have the necessary information to do so.
    However, I can tell you some things that can help!

    The RAID configuration is purely software-rendering. So it can be removed from f.ex Ubuntu disk-tool.
    I installed Fedora on the U840 and U940 that have the same RAID on an internal SSD flash drive and internal HARD drive.

    The RAID can easily be removed and that make storage devices appears as installation targets unique (e.g. SDA and SDB).

    However, I can't tell you if any data 3' rd party SSD will work in the U940.

    My Setup was when I used the 32 GB SSD as a target for the OS - which is actually a LOT of space for an OS Lnux.
    The internal HARD disk has been mounted as HOME.
    In this way, I had the speed of the SSD for all operations of the system (boot, updates...) while having massive storage HARD drive for personal data.

    Regarding the drivers, I think in addition to the basic features should work (WiFi, screen, sound, etc).
    In my tests, I noticed (but is no intensive testing is) no problem don't except the backlight on the keypad was not working on older kernels.

    What is a problem?
    I tried to search for drivers for Windows 7 AHCI, but found that for XP.
    In the BIOS, I tried to put AHCI also Compatible mode, but were also unsuccessful.

    Would be nice if someone could share the solution.

    Hello

    AHCI driver is not necessary for Win 7, since this win 7 already contains this driver.
    What you can do is to add the Intel Rapid storage technology driver that is available on the European driver Toshiba page.
