  Hello, I need your help here! You receive the same error message saying: "Windows is unable to complete the format" when you try to format an external hard drive on your computer? Honestly, the hard drive of my dell computer recently asked just to get in shape when it has been used on my Windows 7 computer. However, when I click on Yes to format this drive with my lost player documents and files, windows says just windows could not complete for formatting? Honestly, I used Google to search for the error problems related unable to complete the format windows and also asks me to select a formatting program? What you recommend me? This software is useful for my case? Thanks for any suggestions here!

  Hello

  If you have a mac, you can use a utility called disk pre-installed program. Connect your external DRIVE for mac drive and find an application called disk utility, in disk utility, there should be an option to erase the external HARD drive. It may come with an error similar to what you had before, but it's certainly worth a try. Let me know if this worked for you.

  Thank you

• Unable to start my laptop Satellite Pro - orange flashing

  I can't boot my laptop Satellite Pro.
  I have an orange light flashes. I tried to remove the battery and hold the power button, but it did not work...

  Help

  I agree with Liam.
  The indicator flashes as a serious hardware problem was detected.
  What you could do is remove the RAM modules and test the device with the new test modules but I guess that is not RAM problem but something wrong with the motherboard.

• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)
  > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.
  > I'd really rather be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I don't want after
  Fix.

• Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

  I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
  I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
  Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
  I'm missing something?

  Thanks in advance

  Neil

  It should work!

  The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

  3 things you can do:
  At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
  If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

  If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

  If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

  You are able to use any other memory card with no problems on the same computer?

  Try to format it on another computer and check. If you are unable to format it on another computer then it is perhaps because of the corrupted memory card. You will need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

• Portege R100: 4GB SD card works very slowly-> unable to format

  Laptop works fine, no problem when using 1 GB SD card. What SD 4 GB inserted PC card works very slowly. Finally, I am able to run the software Toshiba Format SD memory card (download the latest version). It does not seem to recognize the card of 4 GB. Unable to format. When later tried with 1 GB card, everything works fine.

  If someone was able to get a 4 GB SD card?

  I'm not sure if the laptop software needs a patch, or if the 4 GB card is not fully compatible with SD cards standards, however it was purchased from reputable suppliers.

  Graham

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with the software, but the SD card is simply not compatible 100%.
  In recent times, the SD card sizes are rising rapidly.
  I think that the card reader and the software were not intended to manage this big SD card like this.

  How to buy an external SD card reader?
  These devices are not very expensive and I think the new generation should be able to also handle 4 GB SD cards.

• DVD drive broken on my laptop Satellite M35x

  Hello

  the CD - DVD drive on my laptop Satellite is apparently broken, and I've thought about buying a CD-DVD external drive and would appreciate help.
  In case I have to re - install Windows, I'd be able to do this with an external CD drive, because I believe that I need to boot from the CD to start the reinstall, and I do not know if the laptop will "recognize" the external hard drive?

  Thank you
  Bob

  As far as I know external optical disc drive will not be recognized and you will not be able to launch the installation of the OS. To be honest I don't understand why you prefer this external solution.
  I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but optical drives for laptop are not expensive, especially for older models of laptops.

  Almost every laptop can deal with several compatible readers and replacement is very simply. You can do this alone. So if you want to replace the drive to let know us what model of laptop do you have exactly.

• How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

  Please can you advise the team?
  I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
  Please can I have advice from the team?
  Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
  Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
  I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.
  TIA
  Welshmike

  Hello

  I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
  I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.

  Good bye

• New hard disk dive on Satellite C855-29N

  Hello

  I have a breakdown of total hard drive with my laptop Satellite C855 - 29N 64-bit Windows. I ordered a new hard drive for replacement. My problem is that although I did back up disks of my damaged disk before it failed, I fear that these disks will not work for the new hard drive.

  I would appreciate your advice on what I need to do to reinstall the operating system and any contact: e-mail, phone numbers or any other useful tips.

  Thank you very much.

  Why not? Recovery media created has no limitation. Many people Exchange original HDD with the most recent or even SSDS. I did the same thing and I installed after Exchange, original image of recovery without any problem.

  Just, without panic. ;)

  Exchange HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install the recovery image using recovery media created.
  If please post comments and do not hesitate to ask if you need help.
