Re: Satellite L550-129 doens't support Toshiba external HDD

Toshiba Satellite L550-129 doens't support Toshiba external hdd store.e canvio.
Al other thosiba laptops in the familie work with the store.e canvio and a lot of older coputers?????

If your external HDD is not recognized, then this can be caused by low power supply from USB port or its simply an software issue.
The Toshiba page http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/chd/store-externe-festplatten/canvio/ says that STOR.E CANVIO needs 900mA
The usual USB 2.0 standard provides 500mA
So you need an USB Y cable to connect such HDD to two USB 2.0 ports

  • Re: Satellite L850-0C9 - Cannot use USB3.0 External HDD

    Hello!
    I'm looking for some help from you guys
    because i cannot use my NEW SEAGATE USB 3.0 EXTERNAL HDD 2TB with my labtop (L850-0C9)
    my labtop has 2 blue USB port and i guess it is USB 3.0 and i checked it from manual.
    but when i tried to copy data to the hard disk, and after 1 minute then it keeps showing the message "the destination you have specified does not exist". it happens everytime.
    but i found one interesting point of it that it works great with usb 2.0 port so now i'm using it with that port.
    it shows that the hdd doesn't have problem but my laptop does in my logic.
    so i updated almost every drivers and firmware from support page icluding intel usb 3.0 driver.
    but it is showing the same message as before.
    Does anyone know how to solve it?
    Have a nice easter holiday anyway!!

    nope! it is without AC power unit.
    but it is working okay with usb 2.0 port..

  • Satellite M40 - 129 stops booting after Toshiba Screen

    Hi,
    my M40 sometimes stops booting after the Toshiba Screen. It stops and all I can see is the flashing cursor. No Error-Message or something else and normal booting from HDD. Booting from CD (eg. Knoppix) works. This problem only occurs sometimes and isnt traceable for me.
    Best Regards
    Spoony

    Hi Spoony
    Unfortunately on this way it is not easy to say why this happen. Every user has individual OS configuration and we dont know how your OS is configured.
    Can you start OS in safe mode? If yes check a little bit what the problem can be. If there is nothing that you can do I recommend you to save all your data and preinstall unit using recovery media. If you do this I also recommend you to create two partitions.
    Dont compare WXP and Linux booting procedure. Like you know Knoppix uses just RAM and not HDD for running.

  • Satellite P20-552: Will BIOS support the 80GB HDD?

    I currently have an 80 GB hard drive in my notebook. I have read that the BIOS will not handle a larger hard drive - is this an absolute or will a BIOS update correct this limitation?

    Hi
    I have read the same info about the compatible HDD for Sat P20.
    According to some Sat P20 owners the notebook supports 30GB/40GB/60GB/80GB
    HDDs.
    But you know, these are not official inforamtions and I recommend simply testing several sizes.
    Maybe an 100GB HDD will be supported

  • Satellite M30X: Problems with USB 2.0 external HDD

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I recently bought myself a 200GB External Hard Disc. It has its own Power supply. If I connect it with USB 2.0 to my Laptop it happens to diconnect and reconnect permanantly. Sometimes it works, then I can put Data on the Disc. Then again it diconnects and reconnects many times. I've already tried another USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I connected the External Hard Disc to many other Computers (Laptop and Tower) and it ALWAYS works!!! Its only with my Laptop it disconnects and reconnects the whole time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for like an half an hour or so then the action starts again ...
    Can somebody help???
    Greez Lutz

    Hi Andrea
    I really dont know why this happen. A friend of mine has the same problem with his desktop. While copy process runs the HDD is suddenly disconnected and there is also acoustic sound when the hardware is removed.
    I have connected his HDD on my Tecra and there is no problem. I really dont know what the problem can be. Maybe there is some problem with OS because I can not believe that there is some contact problem with USB ports.
    If you use many different USB devices at the same time maybe there is some conflict between few different drivers. Sorry but it is not easy to give some precise explanation.

  • Toshiba external HDD not recognized by MacBook Air

    I have a 1TB Toshiba USB3.0 external hard drive that I have been using for the last year or so to back up all my work data.
    The drive works perfectly when I connect it to a PC (Dell desktop, laptop, HP laptop, etc.).  I even was using it last night on a PC.
    However, my work recently replaced my PC with a MacBook Air, and the system will not recognize the drive.  USB port will power the drive (light comes on solid blue), but System Profile, Disk Utilities, and Finder do not recognize as attached.  Once again, I used last night without issue on a windows PC.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Mac Pro Not Reading Toshiba External HDD

    I have a *Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive (200 GB)*, and I've been using it just fine on my PC with Windows XP for months now.
    I tried plugging it in today into my newly purchased Mac Pro, and it appeared just fine on my desktop, but when I double-clicked it to view the contents, my data and such was all there, but I couldn't access anything. If I opened up a folder to see it's contents, all I got was a blank folder with a spinning "Busy" graphic at the bottom right hand of the corner. No individual files would appear at all ever.
    I would try disconnecting, re-plugging it in, and then at sometimes it wouldn't even register on the desktop. I had to try various USB ports on the Mac Pro to hope and try to get it to re-appear again.
    One time I was actually able to view all the contents on my harddrive. I tried to access an MP3 on there, it loaded up iTunes, but iTunes locked up on me, and I couldn't close out of it nor eject my hard drive.
    When I "Get Info" on my external hard drive icon on the desktop, the format is MS-DOS(FAT32).
    I am running Mac OS X version 10.5.2.
    Any ideas of what the problem is? I am absolutely stumped and upset.

    I am having the same problem with my macbookpro. However, I am not even getting a desktop icon--i.e. its not even mounting. It doesnt show on the disk utilities, nothing. I have power, according to the led on the drive. The usb portworks on my iphone, and with myprinter. What gives?
    Andrej, any thoughts?
    To the originator of this thread, have you gone to your disk utilities and formatted it?

  • Toshiba external HDD PX1267E-1G32 not recognized

    I have two hard drives of the same kind (px1267E-1G32) and they were working prefectly, but suddently they both didn't work on my computer anymore. I tried it on other devices but it's not working at all: theres no sound of the engine anymore when I switch it on, but the light of the power supply turns on.
    On the computer there is sometimes the sound that something has plugged in, but then I don't see it neither on the device manager (i think this it is in English- i don't know it for sure because I'm only Austrian ;) ) or on my computer -in german "arbeitsplatz"- and then after a short period of time the sound of Plugging-out chimes
    I've looked it up in other Threads and on other webpages, but nothing has helped me.....
    What shall i do?

    hey Xardas
    i don't see it there (i ment this with device manager...i haven't known the correct name for it :) )
    but the cable worked yesterday (the last time) and i haven't moved it one nanometer ^^ and the engine normally works when you turn it on (even if it's not plugged in the computer...) but there's no sound (you normally hear that) and theres only sometimes a "Klick" and that's it....
    and the problem is only with these two HDD of the same kind...the other ones i have are working on the computer...so i think thats a problem with the HDDs, but how to solve it?

  • Macbook Pro / Toshiba External Drive issue

    I have been using a Toshiba External HDD drive for about a year. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago when I attempt to connect my drive to my Macbook Pro ((10.5.8), I'm getting the following "The device you are trying to connect is drawing too much power therefore the USB connection will be be disabled". Therefore I can't access stored info: iTunes, documents etc. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Again, it's has been working great for the past year.
    Thanks
    WillieVee

    To add to Kay's comments I have a little Toshiba drive that just did this. I started using a hub and the drive worked for a few more days and then died completely and I returned it under warranty.
    Once you get it working I would highly suggest making sure everything on the disk is backed up to another disk and I wouldn't use it for anything important.

  • AC Adapter for Toshiba Satellite M40X-129

    Hello guys,
    hope this is the correct forum to post my question in:
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X-129 (Model No: PSM4XE-01600CGR). My AC-Adapter is buggered so I need to get a new one. Bought the machine in Germany, am now in Tasmania / Australia. Being in a remote area camp till April, I wont be able to go to a shop with my laptop to try and or figure out, what AC Adapter is suitable. We do have internet here as our only communication form, so it is quite important for me to sort that out.
    Can anyone tell me, what kind of Adapter / power supply is suitable or where to look it up?
    The one Ive been using before is a LITEON, Part No.: PA3432U-1AC3, Model No.: PA-1750-09, Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 1.5A, Output: 19V, 3.95A.
    Thanks for your help and have a nice day
    Peter

    Thanks for your answer Andrej.
    Being in a remote area camp, I cant go to the shop with my old adapter, but I can get someone for me to go the shop, buy (or order) the adapter and chuck it on the next supply chopper.
    I sent all the details posted above to my favorite shop and the lady answered me, as my laptop is an overseas one, it might be possible that the ones they have dont fit. Now I read about plug sizes etc. and thought I could send her some more information to verify, if the stuff they got in stock will do the job for my lap.

  • No Win 8.1 drivers for Satellite L750-129

    Hey,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L750-129  PSK30E and due to the need to format the machine and some other conditions I have installed Windows 8.1 on my system.
    Also I managed to install a chipset driver, nVidia video driver and some other drivers. But a problem appears when I try to find/install an audio driver. I have a Conexant system and on Windows 7 its drivers worked fine (those found on the Toshiba website). I did not seem to find ANY Windows 8/8.1 drivers for my laptop anyhow (Toshiba doesn't even bother making them?!) but some Win 7 ones still seemed to work except for the audio one.
    So, long question short: how can I get my hands on a driver that would support my laptop's needs?

  • Satellite M30X-129: Can recovery CD be run from an external drive?

    My wifi appears to have packed up - recognises wireless networks nearby but won't connect to them - so I am trying to use the Product Recovery disc in the hope that this might restore the wifi.
    However, the DVD Multi Drive is not working properly - the light flickers briefly to indicate some sort of activity but no disc shows up in My Computer. I'm thinking that if I buy the External Drive, I can run the Product Recovery disc from this.
    Is the Toshiba External DVD SuperMulti Drive (PA3454U-1DV2) compatible with the Satellite M30X-129 P-M 735? Can Product Recovery be run from an external (bootable?) drive?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi
    According to this Toshiba page the drive is compatible with your unit:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search_by_model.jsp?servic e=EU&selSeries=-1&selFamily=2326&selCategory=2319&family=2326&selP roduct=98795
    The fact is that only this boot device options are available: USB-FDD/HDD/ODD/LAN
    I know that you can only boot from the external CD/DVD drive if the device support this option and the unit.
    In my opinion to be100% sure you should ask the ASP for the opinion.
    But know another question: Did you boot from the recovery CD to recover the OS?
    If you want to recover the OS you have to boot from this CD and not to start it under Windows. Check it

  • Satellite L550-32bit vs 64 bit...

    hi folks,
    I just purchased a Satellite-L550 on labor day.  Received it today.  In playing around with it, I noticed that it has vista home premium x64 on it...I didnt notice this when I purchased it (I chose the ST5702 option instead of the ST5701 option). 
    Turns out, I need this computer to be able to work from home when necessary...this requires use of a Cisco Systems VPN Client...My understanding is that none of these are supported in x64 (vista, xp, etc) yet, and my company only has support for 32 bit windows...
    So I would like to reformat my computer and install Vista Ultimate (32 bit) on my machine so that I can run the vpn client...I have Vista Ultimate already, and I have generated the applications and drivers dvd.  I am concerned (since I dont know much about 32 vs 64) that some of the hardware in this st5702 (L550) will not be compatible and I will have problems getting everything working again...
    Does anyone know if this will be possible or not?  Or have any other ideas about what I should do?  Is contacting Toshiba even remotely worth my time?
    thanks for any assistance you can provide...

    Any hardware that supports Vista 64bit will be fully supported under Vista 32bit so you are good to go there.  The opposite is not true though.  Not all hardware that is supported by 32bit is supported by 64bit.  You should have no problems performing this with the understanding that you will need to wipe the hard drive first then do a clean install of Vista 32 (you can't do an in place upgrade). The only hardware change that you will notice is that you will only see and be able to use between 3.0 and 3.5gb of the 4 gig of ram that is installed under Vista 32 (it's a limitation of a 32bit Operating System). 
    From what I can tell from looking at the two systems specs the main difference between the two hardware wise is the 5702 has 4gig of ram vs 3gig on the 5701 and the 5702 has a Higher End ATI Graphics Chipset vs the 5701's middle of the road at best Intel Graphics Chipset so you actually have a better laptop hardware wise. 
    If you wanted to do so and have enough hard disk space to spare you could install Vista Ultimate 32 to a different partition and have both your existing Vista 64 and the new Vista Ult 32 available to use.  See this guide but substitute Vista 64 for Vista already installed and Vista 32 for Windows 7. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
