    Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

    All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

    I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

    Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

    In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

    My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

    I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

    Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

  • Replaced the hard drive - now screen Intel Rapid Storage Tech comes first?

    A couple of weeks ago, I replaced the hard drive in my laptop Pavilion dm4-3090se with a 240 GB Samsung SSD (the laptop came with a 500 GB Hybrid HDD which is now my backup).

    Everything works fine, except when I first put it in, I get the screen shown in the image below and it takes a good 5 or 6 seconds before it closes and opens Windows. How can I make this screen go away?

    You are running Windows 7 or Windows 8? I see that you still have the installed cache acceleration mSATA 32 gig drive and it has the Intel Rapid Storage, just off acceleration partition. Can you find the control panel Intel Rapid Storage and reformatting the drive to 32 gig Accelerator? It will look something like this:

    I suggest also just remove acceleration 32 gig of hard drive. You have really no more. You can not acclerate a SSD and shouldn't do anyway since having a main SSD is still faster than having the accelerator. See page 44 of the Manual:

  • After the purchase of CS5, update online to CS6, I reimagee the hard drive. How to return to CS6?

    After the purchase of CS5 converted (boxed), CS6 update online, I had to reimage my hard drive. How to return with CS6 5 without the physical copy?

    you need not install cs5 in order to install your cs6 upgrade.

    After starting the installation of the cs6, you will be asked your cs6 serial number.  the installation program recognizes who is a serial number update and search your system for your cs5.  failing to find that it will ask for your serial number cs5.  After the introduction, the installation will pronounce.

    If you wanted to install cs5 and cs6, you can:

    If you follow the 7 steps you can directly download a free trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html

    and activate it with your serial number.

    If you have a problem from the download, you follow the 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.

    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).

    failure to obtain this cookie translates into an error page displayed after clicking on a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (e.g., current) version.

  • What should I do first after the system restore?

    I will restore my laptop to factory settings and I was wondering if I should install the updates from the window or the antivirus updates first.  I just want to know the safest order and how to do when getting my computer security up-to-date.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Often, you must disable the programs antivirus/security for major updates so I'll make sure the
    Firewall is running and then perform updates. Then add the antivirus. Truth is that he could not
    matter with most quality antivirus products.

    --------------------------------------------------

    Not a fan of F-Secure at all.

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible. Use MSE
    Prevx or Avast and Prevx but not all 3.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    There is a new 5.x - free Avast, which seems to work very well also (4.8 fact also) and it is not
    really need to have his other shields disabled because they use very low resources, even if you can, if you
    wish.

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

  • What should I do when my updates fail to configure? I can't even open a file that contains pictures in it unless it closes.

    I tried to install "major updates" but they were not for a long time.  Today, they were finally installed, but now they keep do not properly configure and go back.  Now, the mousepad on my laptop does not work and when I try to install the driver for it, he said also that I have to restart my computer to complete the installation and when I do, the updates fail to reconfigure and im in box departure.  Ive tried everything but try to reinstall because I don't have the disc here with me.  Is that what I can do because it becomes really frustrating that I can't even look at pictures that are in my folder of photos without windows stops.

    Hello

    1. what happens when you try to install the updates one at a time?

    2 when you install updates one at a time, that update are you facing issue with?

    You can file system Checker [SFC] scan on the computer that will replace the missing or corrupted files and try to install the updates one at a time and check...

  • I bought a dell inspiron 1440 without any operating system. What should I install first, the dell drivers or windows vista?

    I use the windows vista installation disc supplied with my previous pc. I tried to do a clean install, inserted the disc into the cd/dvd drive. No installation window. The screen says "windows loading files..." After a few hours, the display shows something like

    "" windows has not... error: file boot32.exe is corrupt or not found. "."

    Then the Dell XP disc is great to use. However, do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

    1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

    2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

    3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

    4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

    * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

    5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

    6. other hardware components are faulty.
