• Portege R930 - Cyrpto erase Self Encrypting Drive (SED)

  I have a R930 delivered with a model 320 disc Toshiba SED MK3261SYG.
  The confidential nature of the existing data to clean the disc to reuse the system and understand that the reader has the possibility of being "completely erased" in replacing the encryption key, eliminating all access to information existing, any new data written after that the wipe using a different key.

  This ability is well documented by Toshiba, but I can't know how in fact do this type of "rag". I understand that there is a lot of "crush" wipe the apps that I can use and have used in the past but the Toshiba WIPE"ability is what interests me as he will be much more quick and logical (at least to me) a"safer"approach

  The worm R930 BIOS is 6.50 and although there are settings on the Security tab to activate passwords BIOS and HARD drive that restict access to the drive there is nothing there which allows me to do a "wipe" (or at least I think). None of the applications Toshiba security Assist, etc. utility password that are supplied with the 64-bit version of Win 7 appear to have this ability either.

  I searched variousToshiba support sites and can't find any reference to any application that Toshiba makes available to allow a client to perform this type of wipe. I found a utility on the Seagate site, called Seatools which appears to allow you to do this with their readers, but hesitate to try it with Toshiba hardware

  Can someone tell me the solution 'approved' Toshiba?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Some new discs hard Toshiba supports the technology to wipe of Toshiba.
  The unique thing about these new readers is the fact that in certain circumstances, data are automatically removed from the hard drive.
  For example, if the hard drive is stolen and it is connected and installed in another system.

  Toshiba called the 'SED' HARD disk - which means sed Drives.

  I could find a Toshiba info
  http://www.Toshiba.co.jp/about/press/2011_04/pr1301.htm

  In addition, the technology wipe never work until the customer to activate and when wiping technology has been activated, the user cannot remove activation.
  How to activate it?
  You can do it by the HARD drive password settings.

• RAID controller with using SED (Self-encrypting drives)

  Hello!

  Only the H700 and H800 controllers have management of security keys in the BIOS Configuration utility?

  I have PERC Perc 5i SAS RAID controller and I want to use SED, what can I do? It is a software solution for key management?

  Nestor22,

  With the Perc 5 controller / i you can't use sed, the first controller that supported was the H700. It is not a software solution that I know. Depending on the server you have, you can consider the upgrade to the H700. If you let me know the model then I might let you know compatibility and the part number.

  Let me know.

• Cannot find drivers Tecra R940

  Hi team,

  Need help. My Tecra R940 with windows 8 has two things does not:

  Finger scanner printing and webcam.

  The finger print scanner I see it needs drivers from Device Manager
  BUT the webcam is not there on Device Manager as there is no. To make it worse the toshiba site doesn't have the drivers

  Help!

  BUT the webcam is not there on Device Manager as there is no. To make it worse the toshiba site doesn't have the drivers

  the unique webcam driver is not available for win 8 / system Win8.1 or win 10 because the device should be recognized automatically by Microsoft OS.

  You need to install is the driver for the Toshiba System...

  In addition, in most cases, the webcam should be enabled in the BIOS... sometimes its possible that the webcam is disabled in the BIOS and that's why the system cannot recognize the internal webcam

• Questions of Tecra R940 - keyboard and touchpad

  TECRA R940: I had problems with my touch pad and the keyboard of the laptop.

  The button disables itself allows erratically (usually when entering) and several keys on the keyboard either does not work or does not work (pushing allows it to key ALT keys T and T cannot be typed and pushing key 5 05 typed results).

  The catalyst for these issues seems to be related to the automatic updates of Windows. I noticed these problems started after a Windows Automatic Update 12/19/2014 titled "Critical update".

  Now, when I uninstall the updated Microsoft Windows security, keyboard problems are fixed (with the exception of the key, which does not work for some reason any).

  However, the touch pad problem remains, so using a wireless mouse is now a must.

  Should I uninstall and reinstall a new driver for the keyboard and touch pad?

  Hello

  The keyboard driver cannot be updated or installed as it s already part of the Windows System.
  But from my point of view of a few you need to test the functionality of the keyboard using the external USB keyboard.

  In case the external USB keyboard would work correctly, the problem isn't related to the update of the system, but the functioning of the internal keyboard that would require replacement of keyboard.

  The touchpad driver should be available on the Toshiba UE driver page. You will find the Alps Electric as well as the driver for the Synaptics touchpad.

• Tecra R940 with Windows 7 SSD boot failure

  My company bought laptop computers Tecra R940 and replace the HDD with Kingston SSDNow v + 200 V + 120 GB SSD drives. On a test after installing the SSD device, the laptop was rebuilt with our brand image (Windows 7 x 64) that has successfully completed.

  Update post however a number of issues is apparent:

  1 occasionally during a restart, the laptop will display and then hang at 'starting windows' screen for the Windows logo animation appear and with the light of the hard drive continuously. After a period of time that a Windows recovery is attempted and, possibly, a reported error:

  Status: 0xc00000e9
  Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred

  This problem will not occur at every startup, but once every 2 or 3.

  2. the following error message is logged in the Windows system log

  Source: ATAPI
  Event ID: 11
  Description: The driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort0

  I have tried the following to resolve the problem:

  1. update the R940 BIOS to the latest available (6.40).
  2. has confirmed that the BIOS SATA Controller is set to AHCI.
  3. not confirmed there are no available SSD drive firmware update.
  4. install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver of Toshiba (11.0.0.1032).
  5 tried different SSD. Same errors identified, so not a faulty SSD.
  6 tried the SSD in a Toshiba Portege R930. In this case the mistakes above are not apparent.
  7 reinstall the original HARD disk. In this case the mistakes above are not apparent.
  8A confirmed a 2nd unit (with installed SSD) logs the same event ID 11.

  My tests left me at a point where I think that there is something bad at the end of R940 with a hardware or software that does not like the SSD.

  If someone has solved a similar problem or have thoughts on fixing this?

  Thank you in advance.

  Specific installation of corporate images are always full of risks, and quite often, there are different problems. As much as I know in the past Toshiba has created special images of recovery for some companies who ordered a specific number of booklets for employees.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I would like to know if you have tried to install own OS Win7 using the original disk of Microsoft.

  I mean that it must be possible to install Win7 clean on the new laptop models. I tested it on my U940 satellite and it works well. I had some trouble with Toshiba specific stuff (tools and utilities), but it was not so important and work with Win7 was possible in any case.

• Tecra R940 - error upgrading to Win 8 via Toshiba recovery DVD

  Hi all

  I just bought this brand new Tecra R940 dealer of Toshiba in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, about three weeks ago.

  The machine is with preinstalled and activated Windows 7 Professional. In the area were also two recovery DVD Windows 8 Pro. The seller specifically says that the machine comes with Windows 7 with a "free" update for Windows 8 on two DVDs.

  Now, I didn't really set Windows 8 business (I've tried a few times in the past and didn't care much for him - of course), so after that I set up the machine and install all my software and updates, I created a Windows 7 system image and decided to try again to Windows 8.

  So, I jumped the first two DVDs in the drive and rebooted. I pressed F12 and tried to boot from the DVD drive and... nothing! I kept getting the error "non system disk or disk error; Press any key to continue. "I tried several times but nothing helped, so I started only in Windows 7.

  What I'm missing here?

  Thanks in advance,
  Shady

  Hello

  Before you start do something please create Windows 7 preinstalled using recovery media creator Toshiba recovery media. Later if you want to have Windows 7 once again you can install it using this recovery media only.

  Back to your problem. Now if you want to install Windows 8 using sent discs please change the settings of the BIOS first.
  How to do that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

• How can I change where Firefox seeks its saved data from cookie/bookmark/password? I would like to move these files to an encrypted drive.

  I use TrueCrypt encrypt a portable hard drive. Essentially, I would like to be able to move data from my profile on this disc. Then, whenever Firefox is started on my computer without the mounted disk, it is not bookmarks/passwords / cookies saved. When I drive, I wish I could tell Firefox to consult about it and find the data in profile automatically.

  Hello iffotun, you can use the Profile Manager to create a profile (which stores all your personal data) on the encrypted drive...

• How do I update the BIOS on the Tecra R940?

  Are there instructions for BIOS update for my Tecra R940/Win7Pro/64 bit?
  Thank you
  AB - Oz

  On the BIOS Toshiba download page you can download the version of WIN. This means once downloaded BIOS, you must run it under Windows running as all other applications.
  By the way: is there a reason to update the BIOS? Have you noticed any problems with your machine?

• Tecra R940 - fingerprint reader does not

  Hey,.

  A few days ago I was on my Tecra R940 and I got the messages re, a USB device unplugged series. I do not think it a lot at the time, but since then my fingerprint reader has stopped working.

  I can not connect via fingerprints, and when I run the utility of fingerprints, he says: "unable to connect to the probe.

  I ran the test of Toshiba PC diagnostic tool and it passed everything except the Modem test (I jumped, do not have a telephone line).

  Any ideas on how to diagnose this?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  > I can not connect via fingerprint, and when I run the utility of fingerprints, he says: "Failed to connect to the sensor.

  If the fingerprint sensor is available, it must be in the Device Manager.
  I would recommend that you go to Device Manager and check if the fingerprint sensor is listed there.

  Note: in some cases the option of fingerprints is available in BIOS and fingerprints can be enabled or disabled it. That's why I also recommend to check this option.

  Where the fingerprint sensor appears not in Device Manager and in BIOS of fingerprints is activated, I guess that hardware malfunctions and this can be solved by the replacement.

• Tecra R940 - 1 H does support external resolution 2560 x 1440

  Hello

  I use a laptop TECRA R940-1HP
  I want to buy professional instructor Phillip 272P4QPJKEB/00, with a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
  Please write to me.

  My laptop can support such a resolution?

  Support of external resolution depends on the graphics card that is built into the laptop.

  As I know the Tecra R940-1HP supports the chip Intel HD Graphics 4000.

  To my knowledge, this chip Intel HD 4000 supports max resolution of 2560 x 1600/32 bit via Display Port.

  I guess more details on Intel's own graphic chip found on the Intel page.
