Upgrade the hard drive in the Libretto U100 to SSD drive

Anyone who undertakes an upgrade of the hard drive in a Libretto U100 to a SSD? This would surely greatly improve performance. What size is the hard drive in the U100 and which connector is used to connect the drive? Can anyone tell if this mod is possible?

So, I have a machine with an SSD (Tecra M5) and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, the discs are too expensive at the moment but you can benefit from a real performance.

Regarding your question: should be possible. You have a 1.8 inch drive "installed and there are SSDS which have almost the same form factor. Usually the U100 was delivered with MK6006GAH or MK3006GAL disks.

Here´s a site that might help, given that the reader has the same connector as the disc in your computer: http://www.dvnation.com/microatapics.html

Just check it out and I hope you can use my index research on SSDS... :)

Welcome them

  • Password Protection for hard drive on the Libretto U100

    I want to protect my data in the event that I should lose my U100. Initially, I asked a password to the Bios, which is quite easy using Toshiba Assist/user password. But even better would be to apply the same password on the hard drive as well. On the Tecra M5, you can make this Toshiba Assist and safety help, but there is no option on my U100.

    The Bios has options to enter a 'HARD disk' password but when I try to do, he turns back to "Unlisted" when I try to save the change.

    There is no mention of HHD password in UK documentation, but the Australian version seems to have the feature. This site http://www.continent.com.au/buy-1990.html claims "hard drive password prevents unauthorized hard disk access and can be synchronized with the password" – that sounds just the same as on my M5.

    I would like to know if anyone here has had success with application to a disk to their U100 password.

    Hello

    Toshiba security help is not installed on the Libretto U100 and so you cannot use this function as on the Tecra M5.

    Sometimes, the HARD drive password can be set in the BIOS.
    If you want to set the password disk HARD check if it can be done in the BIOS!

    But attention!
    If you forgot the disc HARD password you will not be able to access the HARD drive and the HARD drive is no longer accessible.

    Hello I am trying to upgrade my internal internal 1 TB to 3 TB drive.

    What is the best way to do it. Can I just clone my 1 TB using Macrium or Acronis drive and then just take the old internal and

  • Card SD NOT recognized on the Libretto U100/U105 with Win XP

    Please, should what driver I install to get the SD card reader work?

    Thanks in advance!

    > I am astronished and disappointed that Toshiba is a not ship computers laptops with SD card reader drivers.

    So all the drivers for Win XP for this Libretto U100 series are available on the European driver Toshiba page
    So I m wondering why you're disappointed with Toshiba

    However, I could find the driver choose:
    Product type: Archives
    Family: booklet
    Series of products: Libretto U100
    Short num: PLU10E
    OS: Windows XP

    Now you should get all the Win XP drivers.

    I guess that the Cardbus driver is the driver you are looking for her should get the card reader controller to work.
    In addition, you must install the SD Secure Module. This software is an update for your TOSHIBA Secure Digital Host controller.

  • Two months using the Libretto U100

    Very good product:
    I use the U100 for two months as a mat - almost - nothing, clone of my main computer (Tecra S1) and I am very happy with it. The fingerprint reader is surprisingly useful and I even got used to the small keyboard.

    Initially, however, I found a lot of text on the screen too small to read and given that the solution was not obvious (at least to me :-]) I write my solution here, as well as some other conclusions. I hope that others will find it useful, and perhaps others after their experiences too.

    View Tweak:
    Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties and click on the settings tab. Click the Advanced button, and then select the monitor tab. Ignore the warning under the box "Hide modes this monitor cannot display" and uncheck the box. Click OK, and then change the screen resolution slider (in display properties) to the value previously not 1280 x 1024. This gives a virtual screen more larger than the physical screen, but when you mouse up or down, with a height of the screen upward or down to suit.

    Now click again on the button Advanced, open the general tab and change the DPI setting to 96 to a value of "Custom" of 144 (150% of normal size) and click OK. This makes most of the 50% text larger. (If you do this, without changing the screen resolution you will see that some Windows OK, cancel and apply buttons become inaccessible over the bottom of the screen). Most of the screens work fine, even if the text can get a little cramped in some (e.g., Toshiba Power Saver).

    Tweak mouse:
    To make the pointer of the mouse more usable, open Start/Settings/Control Panel/mouse, select the pointer Options tab and set the pointer to the maximum speed and check the "enhance pointer precision.

    Zoom:
    Function of Zoom from Toshiba works very well for the icons of the desktop and software applications. But in Internet Explorer, I think it's too tedious to use, because must readjust the zoom whenever you change the page. I found that the best solution was to use Opera as default browser instead of IE. He has a great zoom feature built-in and you can even zoom using the mouse wheel.

    Synchronization of files and Emails:
    After many trials, I found a really great software called Easy2Sync (http://www.itsth.de/en/produkte/easy2sync.php?M) that easily and surely synchronizes my Docs and MS Outlook between U100 and my main computer. Now, I use a machine interchangeably and simply sync them then on the local Wifi network.

    Save:
    If Toshiba did the hard drive accessible to the user as on Tecras, I'd use Casper XP to clone the same disc in a USB2 support. Instead, I use Acronis True Image to keep an image of the drive to an external drive. I did restorations of the trial and it works fine.

    Desk Top Search:
    I use Copernic Desktop Search on both machines. The latest version (1.6) is more appropriate than before because you can set it to index on power supply only.

    MS Office ToolBar:
    Even with the "big buttons" selected, I find it too small to be usable. Instead, I did a local equivalent bar to help "new toolbar integrated" XP option. I then clicked on the toolbar, select display and checked "Large icons").

    Two gripes:
    Nothing is perfect, so in the Toshiba case are listening:

    1. the fingerprint reader works after sleep, but not after the hibernation. You must first click on the thumbprint icon to remove the footprint display square, and then again to restore. After that, it works normally.

    2. I want a warning "caps lock" light because it's too easy to hit the 'caps lock' button instead of 'a '.

    Hello David

    A few days ago, I saw this toy and it is very well designed. I really don't like to use small notebooks like booklet. Portege R200 is for me very nice and it is for me the best solution for an ultraportable.

    As I already said the booklet is very well designed. Just a feature is not positive for me. The cover of the screen has a very wide edge and, in my opinion, the biggest Billboard could be much better.

    I wish you lots of fun with your new toy.

    Best regards

  • The problem with the battery on the Libretto U100

    Hello.

    The problem is the following: shortly after the start of the loading of the battery starts squeaking (or whistle, subtle signals coming from somewhere inside the laptop or battery) and after a while, stop the load! Windows displays a message, "Battery" unknown, to continue the exercises, you must remove and insert again the battery and so 5 times until the load is complete. And the absence of such an accusation, not more than 1 hour and 45 minutes.

    That's happened?

    Libretto U100

    Capitalist salvation,
    Remember john lennon? "It's easy".

    I think that this little piece of Tech is a bit old...
    and has been used for a period of time to stay...

    the battery disappeared, some cells can't hold not more fresh...
    therefor the voltage misscounted, leads to the "unrecognized".
    We must exchange the battery...

    but no problem for a capitalist you don't ;-)

  • Upgrade Z60m Hard drive

    Hi all

    I plan to upgrade the hard drive in my z60m, a Seagate momentus 7200.4, essentially because it's in the final list of the firmware update I could find.

    I created the ISO disc for the verification of updates of the firmware of the HARD drive and checked my current drive, it works.

    I intend to install windows on the new drive using the restore discs, after which I will manually install the updates for all drivers and all the files that I use regularly.

    My question is when should I use the ISO HDD firmware update program. I'm not buying my IBM HARD drive and understand that the update of the firmware may not work, but at what point should I try. I thought to install the new hard drive and then run the firmware update software before you install the OS from the restore disks. Is this true or do I have to update the firmare HDD after that I installed the original image on the new hard drive?

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Firmware update is really not so much a big deal, you can do it from a bootable CD before installing the operating system, or at any time after that you installed. It really won't do much difference anyway.

    Good luck.

  • Pavilion 15-n070sw: is it possible to upgrade a hard drive in this model?

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion 15-n070sw (no longer under warranty) and was wondering about upgrading my drive ssd hard drive. However I noticed some users report problems of compatibility between this model and ssd drive (+ there is no option to set the AHCI mode in the BIOS settings...). Because I don't want to invest in a reader, that I won't be able to use, I wanted to check here - this model will support an SSD?

    Thank you very much in advance for clearing that for me!

    M

    Yes it will absolutely accept an SSD. There is no need to mess with the BIOS as the definition of only for storage controller's ahci. Could not set it to something else if you want. Windows 7 and above will simply TRIM and NCQ which is what you need for the optimization of the SSD. A lot of tutorials out there comes from another era, when it was harder to get a job of SSD. Here is the Service Manual:

    Thank you.

    You misunderstand my role here. I do not work for HP and I'm not the order desk. I am a user final companions. The laptop has a program backup and restore installed where you can make the recovery discs or a USB key to reinstall the software factory on a new hard drive or SSD SSHD.

    You will have to find a SSHD and will make install. HP does not offer that service and I also do not, of course. It can affect your warranty. If you let us know your country of residence, we can find a good deal on the parts you want.
