Using the HARD drive of a Tecra A4 as a for another laptop external HARD drive.

I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. I want to use the HARD drive as a second hard drive to another laptop, but it seemed to me that the HDD in Tecra A4 has a special bond that does not fit in a standard externel HDD-Bay. Anyone know how I can use the HARD Tecra A4 drive as an external HARD drive?

Subquestion: is it not possible to use a 2.5 "HARD drive normal in a Toshiba Tecra A4?

Hello

AFAIK Tecra A4 has 2.5 inch HDD inside. But the HARD drive has another connector HARD drive that you can remove. The HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive chassis and fixed with four screws. Remove the screw and the connector. Be very carefully and take it easy.

After that you can use in other laptops.

  • Use the flash drive for the paging file

    Hello. I would like to use a USB flash drive for the file rather than the HARD disk to increase performance on an older system. I've set up to use the flash player and the system restarts. But whenever I check, it uses the HARD drive. Why doesn't the setting?

    Hello. OK, well I got what I was doing wrong. I never put the c: for not having a swap file.

    http://www.ehow.com/how_6054256_use-USB-memory-RAM-XP.html

    @greenestguy

    Swap file cannot be larger than 4 GB, so no need for a 8 GB flash drive. Save some $$.

    Don't know why it would be a bad idea because MS have programmed it in Vista and Win 7 as ReadyBoost. I suppose there is always the chance that I don't see any difference on the old hardware, but I do not see how it would break anything.

  • Satellite U300-14 b: can I use the graphics driver for the Intel page?

    My Satellite U300-14 b (VIsta 32 bit Home Premium, 2 GB) has a 'Mobile GM945 Express Chipset Intel'. Download from Toshiba site, says I've got the latest driver, namely 7.14.10.1263 dated 04/25/07.

    The Intel site lists their latest driver such as in date 7.14.10.1364 dated 11/12/07.

    I want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep. I am told that the graphics drivers are often to blame and should therefore be updated.

    Can I safely updated with version 11/12/07, or I risk of problems? Not sure if Toshiba are just slow to release the updated driver, or if there is a better reason that they did not?

    Well, usually you can use the graphic driver directly from Intel page but I found several threads here in the forum that said that the chart non-Toshiba drivers can be installed and used only at your own risk

    > want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep
    Hmm perhaps this problem could be related to the graphics driver, but I recommend you to update to Vista and install all THE patches for Vista.

  • Remote Desktop for Mac will not use the printer driver

    On an iMac with Lion 10.7.3, I try to get an Epson ReadyPrint T20 - TM to use the Epson driver when it is connected to our server Windows 2008 R2 with DRC 2.1.1 but it keeps using a HP Color Laser Jet 2800 Series PS we have not the HP printer and I need some features in the Epson driver.

    I installed the printer on the server and removed several times without alteration. When 'Use a printer connected to the Mac' is selected in the preferences of the DRC the printer is a printer that is redirected, but the use of the driver of HP. Printing from Mac works with all the features.
    On the server, we have 3 installed roles, file, desktop Services to remote and Web server (IIS) Services

  • Extract metadata check constraint using the JDBC driver

    Hello

    How to extract metadata check constraint using the JDBC driver?

    I know that by using the package dbms_metadata is possible, but the results of the get_ddl function are limited by the permissions of the user account, log on to oracle customer. So, how others pure Java implemented customer oracle can get the metadata of check constraints by using the same user account used to run the dbms_metadata.get_ddl function when this function cannot obtain metadata restrictions for approval when throwing an exception saying that the cheque does not exist?

    For example, in Aqua Data Studio and further implemented in pure Java metadata check constraints are extracted and showed in the Table Properties, but when I use the same user account in a java program using JDBC to execute dbms_metadata.get_ddl, an exception is throwed with a message that the constraint does not exist.

    So I guess that these pure-Java Oracle customers use Oracle JDBC driver to extract the metadata of check constraint (ddl or the status of the audit). If anyone knows how to use the Oracle JDBC driver to do this, please help me!

    SELECT *
    FROM all_constraints
    WHERE constraint_type = 'C';

  • Can I use the product key Windows 8.1 on a pc and a laptop?

    I recently bought a full version of Windows 8.1 where I live. It came with 2 separate disks.  One for the 64 bit version and one for the 32-bit version. I also received a product key.

    I upgraded a desktop PC to Windows 7 with the 64-bit version of Windows 8.1.

    My laptop is only about 2 years old and is pre-installed with Windows 7, and now I think of the upgrade that one to 8.1 Windows also.

    What I want to know is that if compatible can install Windows 8.1 since the discs I already have and use the same product key to activate Windows 8.1 on my laptop, even though I already used it on the desk?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    No, the license is for a Windows installation that can be either 32 or 64-bit, but
    not one of the two. So it is only for the office.

    I hope this helps.

  • Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

    One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

    None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

    How to read my date? Can you help me?
    Thank you.

    Hi Oscar

    Hmmm I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s not possible to remove the HARD drive HARD drive password if you haven t your laptop.
    I know that if the HARD drive password has been set the HARD drive is not more accessible and more usable.

  • I can't activate my real Vista on 'New' material by using the hard drive of my old hardware

    OK, I got a laptop comes pre-loaded with windows Vista and it has got water damage and shorted, the hard drive however is in good working condition. I bought a laptop replacement because I didn't want to be on another computer that someone else would break anyway.

    so I bought this used the laptop from a friend that he would use to intnet and games, she had similar specs as my old laptop except the proccessor was different but similar speed and what not. what I want to do is to install the hard drive from my old with Vista genuine in this 'new' computer that has a hard drive in a way smaller and is loaded with XP.

    compatible sound and I have already, but it asks me for my product key that I have but it says its wrong (I guess as its headquarters in the old hardware) so is there a way to unregister the old hardware or upgrade my hardware information in order to use my old hard drive and keep my status as a true?

    not only is a HDD larger but its quicker and there all my files ive been without for more than a year now and frankly I need it back so bad at this point

    Thank you thank you

    Sorry, but versions OEM of Windows Vista cannot be transferred to another computer.  The license is permanently tied to the original computer, it has been installed and activated on. Carey Frisch

  • T410 - using the Hard Drive Bay adapter III series

    I have looked in getting more storage data on my t410 and had a few questions about the adaptation of the dvd to the HARD disk to use. (1) the t410 certainly does support the adapter? (2) will the adapter supports all 9.5 mm HDD 2.5 "? can I use a 7200 RPM drive? (3) this configuration supports protection against shock, as the HARD disk drive Bay original? (4) is there anything else I should consider? THX in advance

    ended up finding the Hitachi Travelstar 2.5 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA II 16 MB Cache internal hard - 0S 03339 and Thinkpad Sata HD Bay adapter 3, both from Amazon. the model # on the Amazon unit is the same as the one on the Lenovo site, but was $30 cheaper. Ran $89,99, vs. $61,17 for the 500 GB Hitachi 750 GB... I hope it works like the 500 GB

  • How to make a portable USB drive use the same drive letter all the time

    Original title:

    I have many removable hard drives from Toshiba.  Use them for photography.  I usually connect simply, transfer photos from the DSLR camera (images raw, very big, not a camera point/rod).  When I plug in, computer automatically selects a player... F, g, H: by M or N.

    Then, I use Adobe Lightroom for adjustments.  Once they are imported into Lightroom it keeps track of this record, they were on.

    PROBLEM:

    If I unplug the removable hard drive, plug in at a later date, computer can randomly choose a different example M instead of H letter.
    LightRoom is so impossible to find photos/images.  I would then have to re - import and start any setting completely from the beginning.

    Question:
    How to direct the computer to select the same drive when I plug in a removable hard drive.

    Plug in a hard drive removable, computer selects H:, can I import into LightRoom, I disconnect the removable hard drive, a week later I want to make adjustments more photography, connect the removable hard drive and FORCE/DIRECT COMPUTER TO SELECT H: AGAIN (or whatever of the original letter was).

    Hope it makes sense.

  • Use the hard BONE from another PC

    Bought new Win8 64-bit desktop PC.  It replaces my old Win7 32 bit Desktop.

    Can I remove the hard drive from the old office (it was the Bootup\OS) and install it in the new PC of Win8 as a 2nd HDD internal?

    I know that this is not a question if I re - format the old HD Win7.  It contains data on this subject I prefer keep (again, I know that I can transfer the data, Re = Format and transfer back on).   Of course, I would like to remove any software since it will be useless in the new office of Win8.

    My concern would be any OS... the Win8 desktop boot sequence would prevent the old HD Win7 boot...

    Safely simply install the HD Win7 to Win8 Office as a 2nd drive internal?

    You can install it safely as another drive, even if it has an operating system on it.  You could probably not even start up of this hard disk (usually, you can change the boot disks when you turn on your computer by pressing a button, this button varies depending on the manufacturer).

    Starting from the old drive can be a little unpredictable, and Windows 7 will probably be you say that it has detected the transplant and no need to repeat the activation of product, so I would probably boot to it if I were you and simply use it to recover your data.
