• PGP Whole Disk Encryption and Boot Camp Partition

  I use the PGP 10.0 Beta for the last two weeks (it is now been shipped and is the current version), and one of the new features is Whole Disk Encryption on Boot Camp partitions. It works fine - except for the fact that VMWare Fusion 3.0.1 can not load the Boot Camp partition is encrypted (it starts initially, but does not advance beyond what I suppose is the PGP bootloader).

  I know that I can create a virtual machine and run Windows to work around the problem - I'm just curious to know if this is something that VMWare are willing to study and operate now PGP 10.0 has been shipped.

  It seems to be fixed/supported in a future version?

  Thank you very much .

  This looked interesting so I tried myself. I downloaded a demo of PGP 10.0 and encrypted to my hard drive which has OS X 10.5.8 and a Windows 7 Boot Camp partition.

  After starting the machine virtual Boot Camp in Fusion, I see a black screen that says bootguard _

  

  I guess that's also what you see?

  You're right - it's the PGP bootloader which replaced the Windows loader in the MBR of the physical disk. Fusion accesses the data in the partition through Mac OS X, which already has access to the decrypted data. The boot loader assumes that the drive is always encrypted and fails when he tries to decrypt again.

  Fortunately, Boot Camp VMs include a copy of the MBR (with the boot code and the partition table) in a separate file, so it's very easy to fix:

  #. Start the machine virtual of Boot Camp (not native!) with a Windows CD/DVD installation (or ISO image).

  #. Go to the repair command prompt.

  #. Run the fixmbr command in Windows XP or bootrec /fixmbr in Windows Vista or Windows 7 to replace the MBR code.

  In this way, your Boot Camp virtual machine will use the default Windows boot loader to access the already decrypted data, while the native Boot Camp startup will use code PGP MBR (which is always the physical disk) to access the prompt for the PGP password and decrypt the drive.

• Re: update BIOS on Tecra with PGP WDE

  Hello

  I want to update the BIOS of my Tecra S11. The hard drive is encrypted with PGP Whole Disk Encryption. Is it safe to run the Toshiba BIOS update program without first decrypting the disk?

  Thanks for your comments,
  Patrick

  Hello

  I ve not a lot of experience with PGP encryption software, but with the bit locker

  It is also a kind of encryption provided my MS in Vista and Win 7.
  To my knowledge the bitlocker must be set to suspend mode by updating the BIOS.

  I guess that something similar should be done to PGP.

  Maybe you could get more details here:

• Satellite A300D (PSAKCE) - BIOS is damaged and does not start

  I formatted computer after when I put update computer BIOS is frozen and it does not work now. File is true where I download from Toshiba Web site.
  I searched Web of Toshiba sites there was not any producere for recovery of the BIOS for the damged BIOS file. Many start-up models with some keys to the BIOS update but mine is not starting any screen only empty key.

  -Can I do it myself? Is there a procedure for Satellite A300D-17F (psakce)? I don't want to wait for the rear service it 6 months before I bought it.
  -If I send to the service, it is under warranty? I don't know any time service can be a problem. They say problem user but I reformatted the PC after I started the update program and they can not understant that sometimes.

  Thank you...

  Hello!

  In this case, you need help from the ASP. You can do anything and it is possible that the ASP BIOS reset.

• Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

  Hello

  I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

  I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

  Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

  Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

  The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

  I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
  The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
  But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

  But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
  Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

  However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
  On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
  Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

  To manually update your driver:

  1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
  2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
  3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

• Satellite L750 - BIOS check error and now the screen is blank

  Good yesterday my laptop was working fine and was recommended to an update of the BIOS so I downloaded and tried while he was hooked up to update the BIOS, at half way through she says check error and nothing else, I therefore closed the BIOS window thing and close the cover I did not stop the computer.

  Today, I opened the lid and just fan continues to operate and the CPU light flashing but nothing else. What should I do? I tried the F12 and F2 method, nothing happens the screen does not come on, I will try to use an external monitor later in the day, but I don't think that is the problem.

  Thanks in advance even if I'm not all green if it's a BIOS problem. The laptop is less than 6 months old.

  Hey,.

  > I'll try to use an external monitor later today, but I don't think that's the problem.
  I put also don't think the monitor is the problem if it happened since the BIOS update.

  > if this is a BIOS problem
  With other words, turned something went wrong during the update of the BIOS and now it s a BIOS problem. Updating the BIOS is always a little risky If you do the update only if it of really necessary. Don t update the BIOS if you see there is a new version, but everything is ok. Never touch a running system ;)

  In any case, now you need an ASP to get rid of this aid. Guys have to reflash the ROM module professional tools:

  It makes no difference if the noebook is 6 months or 6 years ;)

• HP Pavilion HPE H8 1234: HP Pavilion HPE H8 1234 corrupted BIo 8 beeps and the led lights

  I was updating my BIOS and I got an error. Now, the coomputer starts with 8 beeps and 8 power botton blinking LED. IV tried WIndows update Bios USB, key and B. Im running outta ideals. Someone help me please.

  Hello

  Situations of BIOS corrupted can be not recoverable with some versions of the HP BIOS.

  Disconnect the PC and remove CMOS battery and press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. While the battery is removed, test it with a voltmeter-ohm - and if it isn't close to 3.3 volts, then replace it.  It's a $4 item.  If the battery is good before you reinstall it, plug the PC back in and give it a go.

  This procedure of recovery of the HP BIOS claims to work by internal HP.  Read the instructions carefully.

• Moving anchor points and the whole shape gets distorted to change the line weight

  I have a fairly simple drawing that I drew in a larger size, so I could be more specific with it, and now I want to reduce up to the finished size and thicken the line, but when I make the line thicker, my anchor points are moving and the whole drawing is distorted.

  Using Adobe Illustrator of 24 years, I never saw that happen. When I click on the "up" arrow in the stroke palette a lot of time to gradually increase the thickness of line, I can watch made anchor 'walk' around like my shape gets distorted.

  If I go to the place a numeric value for the thickness of line, it doesn't.

  However, if I use the scale tool to shrink the design down to the size of 10% or 20%, or whatever, with traits of the scale and effects UNCHECKED, yet once, move the anchor points and the drawing is distorted.

  It's all about a brand new installation of Illustrator CS 6 for Mac (although I use CS 6 for about 2 years now, my hardrive crashed this past weekend and I had to reinstall everything).

  I missed a little box somewhere that I never saw elsewhere that is what actually happen?

  This post editing to add:

  Also, some of these objects in my drawing I cannot change the race less than 1 point thickness. If I choisis.5 ou.25 pt in the context menu, or even if I enter the numeric value, it jumps to 1 point. Other objects in the drawing are not.

  These objects in question are "rounded rectangle" forms I used the scissors tools to cut and then used the "join" command to put them as well as other forms that have been "scissored"as well."

  All forms of "Ellipse" and "Rounded Rectangle" that I have left intact do not exhibit this problem with stroke and distortion.

  You are being bitten by the Align-to - pixel grid. Select the entire document and go to the transformation Panel and turn off snap to Pixel - grid at the bottom of the Panel. Then go into the rollout (small triangle in the upper-right) and disable align objects on the pixel grid.

• What hides under the operating system and is invisible Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro?

  new background of ignorance

  Maggy apprentice gave me his 2010 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) for repair, it was incredibly slow, often cold.

  I threw my skills to it:

  Repair permissions

  Disk utility

  Target mode: Warrior of the disc; Tool Pro technology

  I tried resetting the PRAM and SMC.

  In the target, I also cleared its player (after performing a backup) and tried

  installation of Snow Leopard disc - it stuck.  Installation at a standstill, again and again.

  Problems overall, I could not recovery mode or

  safe mode even though I could get the boot drive and target mode.

  He certainly felt as if the keyboard was in trouble.

  Finally, I copied the backup to disk of my wife, who was also the snow leopard,

  on a portable computer freshly erased and voila - it worked.

  I could then use to wipe the drive, then download and

  install El Capitan.

  After 2 failures, followed by repair disk, he succeeded, I could

  migrate the original backup again and everything is now up-to-date.

  All the software proceeds smoothly, and the keyboard is good,

  Some of the above was conducted in partnership with the Apple phone support

  and the guy said something that bothers me is why I write

  it: -.

  He said that none of the diagnostic and repair tools, I used went deep enough

  to diagnose or repair the software deep that runs under everything else.

  Can I ask here - this looks like PC BIOS?

  and if so, is there really all tools that can diagnose and fix problems here?

  TIA

  Disk Warrior takes the sophisticated approach for repair of directory (the same function as the line of fsck command, also headed by disk utility repair disk when it is not the system startup).  And although there is some data recovery options on its own, I would like to use a non-invasive data recovery tool before you try.   As a munged really directly still will leave you without access to your data.  Or a dying hard drive that may have similar symptoms as a bad directory.   All the more reason to backup before you do anything either.

  http://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-1689

  TechTool Pro is able to look in depth of the material and tell you if there are hardware issues can be changed or need repair.  Regarding the BIOS, yes the Mac have a BIOS, and they have firmware too.    But any really bad material is only repaired by replacement.  TechTool Pro can tell a lot of cases where it is necessary, with more details than the test integrated hardware Apple.  And in some cases, do a repair like disk Warrior, but it is not infallible.    Since released RAM 128 MB, there is no test equipment that can reliable 100% of the time tell you when the RAM is bad.    However, when it detects as being faulty, you can believe it.

• Satellite 3000-214: after CPU upgrade no screen and no HARD disk activity

  Hey all,.
  I have a 3000-214 Satellite that comes originally with a PIII-M 933 Mhz. (SL5CG)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5cg.jpg

  I ordered on eBay a second hand replacement (1133 Mhz) CPU SL5CK. (same number of pins, the same processor family: RH80530)
  When I go in, the laptop starts, but there is nothing on the screen and no HARD disk activity.

  So I asked the seller if he had tested the CPU, it sent, he said no and sent me 2 CPUs of replacement, another SL5CG and a SL64Z (which does not appear on the Intel site for some strange reason, but which is of the same characteristics as the SL5CG..)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5ck.jpg
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl64z.jpg

  The two processors give the same result with nothing on the screen and no activity of the HARD drive either.
  I checked my BIOS, it is the latest version: 2.30.
  Some laptops in the series 3000 Satellite (e.g. 3000-601), are delivered with a 1133 Mhz CPU (SL5CK) and also share the same bios exactly like my 3000-214. (upgrades to the bios on Toshiba website for my 214 & 601 are the same exact links and MD5 are equal). Also the 3000-601 & 3000-214 share the same chipset: Intel 830MP.
  But for some reason, it does not.

  EC which could I missed?

  It is always possible that all 3 processors that I was sent by the seller are dead, but it would be strange at this point, I think.
  So my question is, anyone have any idea what I might try to work or have experience with the upgrade a Satellite 3000 CPU?

  My warranty is looooong Sub anyway, so if a Toshiba employee could check in the basis of how fast max CPU can be used on the Sat 3000-214, I would be very grateful.

  Thanks a bunch for any info.
  Kind regards

  Alcahest

  Hello

  I studied a bit in the web and it seems that the Satellite 3000 has been bundled with Intel Mobile PIII 800, 850, 900, 1000 MhZ CPU

  I think that this will not work because of the speed of the CPU.
  In addition, I found this Toshiba document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W5000XR01.htm

  It is said that it is not possible to replace the processor in a laptop Tosh because processors are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP tape carrier package.

• Error reading drive A: and Toshiba companion disk for 115CS

  Hi all

  I recently bought a second hand 115CS Satellite, and it has windows 95 installed. I soon discovered that my computer cannot read drive a: correctly.

  Whenever I try to copy/paste/etc, and on a diskette, the computer begins to read the disc, but before the end of the process I get an error message saying that the drive could not be read.

  I tried to solve this problem by downloading and installing the updates of different file from Microsoft and the Internet from Toshiba sites, but nothing helped. The custom Scandisk nor any system utility which would help me. I even tried to use the new disks but I always get bad sectors a reason any.

  I understand that the inability of the Satellite to read drive a: is a known issue with windows 95, and it has been discussed before. Is there a way to handle the situation outside of what I've tried so far?

  Unfortunately, because I don't have the original disks that come with the laptop, I am unable to do the diagnostic test of Toshiba on my computer to trace problems. I'd highly appreciate if you tell me where a companion of Toshiba Satellite 110CS disk is available for download online.

  I really need advice in the case that we care and will be very grateful for your help in regards to the reader of error messages and the accompanying disk.

  Best,

  Sharon.

  Hello

  It is a very old unit, and I can't tell you anything about the features but you must also known that there may be a mechanical problem and this player may also be defective. Who knows!

  Please see the Toshiba download page choose us under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp? Download? option, select model laptop, and you can see if something useful is in the list.

  Good luck!
