Satellite C855D-16V - BIOS & HDD Password - Need some information

Hi - just bought a new C855D-16V, wiped the Windows 8 OS and installed Windows 7. I see that the BIOS has options for BIOS and HDD passwords, and I would like to use one of these to secure my data.
I am looking for a detailed explanation of how they work, what effect they have, how reliable and secure they are. Does HDD password protect the disk if removed and mounted on a Linux system, for example? Is it possible to export a back-up key for emergencies? Does BIOS PW lock the HDD, or just stop the mainboard from booting? Can't find anything via google, and the "user manual" is useless.
As above, I am NOT trying to bypass or remove an existing password. I am deciding whether BIOS or HDD provides sufficient protection. I would have used Truecrypt, but it doesn't work well with backup utils like Macrium & TrueImage.
Can anyone link me to a good, detailed explanation of these options, please?
Thanks!

Hi
I found several useful Toshiba documents. Check it out and if you still have some question you are welcome.

  • I have project I want to run and need some information

    Hi
    I have project I want to run and need some information about technical, consultancy, architecture design
    and what I need for this project (hardware and software(
    I planning to stream live streaming 24 channels,
    The feed is analog from pal STB cable or satellite.
    I want to stream in 2 different resolution and bit rates
    1. full screen 750-850k
    2. 240x360    400-600k
    the format is flash h.264
    The channels are series, sport, news, and movie.
    What recommended card (i have osprey 450e)?
    What kind of requirement of computer I need (CPU, MHZ, CORE, RAM).
    can i use i7 cpu or xeon cpu?
    how many channels i can run in 1 computer?
    I need cheap solution for this project around 20-30k$ for hardware.
    thnaks

    I am working on a similar project.
    Actually, i can encode 2 streams in h.264 with a resolution around 640X480 on a Intel Xeon E3120 (2 core) 3.16 GHZ configuration.
    OS is a windows XP 32 bits. CPU usage is around 75%.
    (note: FMLE instances are run with FMLEcmd not GUI mode)
    Does someone know if i can gain performance with windows XP 64bits ?
    My goal is to encode 4 streams on a single machine, does someone know if a dual CPU, let's say 2 X (4 core) Xeon, is enough ?
    I don't know if FMLE support multiple processor with multiple core configuration.
    I am maybe wrong, but after reading this forum, it seems many people have problems using FMLE under windows vista. Do we gain performance on Vista vs XP ?

  • I need some information about jre 1.5 and jre 1.6.

    Hello guys,
    I need some information about jre 1.5 and jre 1.6.
    Suppose if i have jre 1.5 customized with "additional language support" installed in my my desktop, and later on i install jre 1.6. will this jre over write all the esisting settings which was present in jre 1.5?
    In short will the version upgrades disable the features of the old Version even though the old version is present in the desktop?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    That's not a trivial step. I would write a small C/C++ program that
    exercises your driver (for robustness) just to be sure it's working
    right first without crashing your system.
    >The problem is that I don't know to use this driver in LabView.

    >"call library function" with a DLL.
    That's correct. _After_ you got your C/C
    ++ test program (and USB
    driver) above working, then you can convert this little test program
    into a DLL or CIN, which can interface with LabView. A DLL might be
    easier (slightly) to write, but the CIN will work faster with LabView
    and can be designed to be reentrant. The Code Interface Reference
    Manual should guide you. Remember, this is a task for an _experienced_
    C programmer. You'll need to use handles to pointers into all your
    dynamic arrays and such passed into LabView.
    After you got your CIN or DLL written, you can use a special CIN
    function node to "link" (or bind) your CIN object into LabView's VI
    diagram.
    SOME THOUGHTS:
    There are many hardware devices already on the market today that come
    with Windows 98 drivers and DLL (or even CIN) libraries that would work
    immediately with LabView. Why don't you save yourself three months of
    work and simply buy one of these?

  • I need some information about File Download & File Upload

    Hi  All,
    Can any one help me on this, I need some information about File Download & File Upload.
    I read tutorial abt file upload and download but some of methods in tutorial are deprecated so i need clear information abt File upload and Download, if possible Code examples.
    Thanks
    Ragards
    Ravi Golla

    Hi Ravi
    Check out thses links for examples:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71

    Otherwise you can simply follow this code for file download
    Use the code like this.
    1) Create the button and bind the action for it.
    2)then write this code in the action.
    3) do not write any thing in the init method.
    try {
    final byte[] content = this.getByteArrayFromResourcePath("C:
    xyz.properties");
    final IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(content, WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
    try {
    final IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(resource.getAbsoluteURL(), "WD_Filedownload", false);
    window.open();
    catch(Exception e)
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(new WDNonFatalException(e), false);
    5) writr the method getByteArrayFromResourcePath
    //@@begin others
    private byte[] getByteArrayFromResourcePath(String resourcePath)
    throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
    FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(resourcePath));
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int len;
    byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
    while ((len = in.read(part)) != -1) {
    out.write(part, 0, len);
    in.close();
    return out.toByteArray();
    //end
    Similarly for file upload
    Similarly for upload in to server path also do the same
    IWDAttributeInfo attInfo =
    wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("upload");
    binaryType =
    (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
    uploadedName = binaryType.getFileName();
    File filename =new File("
    <server name>
    <folder name>
    "+uploadedName ); );
    try {
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
    out.write(b);
    out.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();

  • I need some information on quickviewer input range

    Hi
    I need some information on quickviewer input range
    In quickviewer it is allowing me to input only 5000 or 6000 (BP)records, if i am trying to input more than that it is throwing ABAP- run time error. Is there any other way to input more than that in Quickviewe
    kindly please suggest me
    Regards
    Vinay

    Hy Vinay,
    you get an error because the work with the Quickviewer is a dialog- Prozess.
    If you want a 'work around', set the parameter of the timeout dialog prozess higher.

  • I need some information about drivers

    Hi all, I am developing an acquisition data system for biomedical
    signals and I need to transmit this data from my hardware to PC using the
    USB port. For this, I am writing a device driver for Windows 98 that receive
    data and put it in a memory buffer. I have a VI which graphs this data in
    LabView 5.0. The problem is that I don´t know to use this driver in LabView.
    For now, I think to use a "code interface node" with code writen in C or a
    "call library function" with a DLL. But I need some help with the "code
    interface node" because this VI don´t use a .c file. Shortly, I apreciate
    some help with this VI or some idea for use the USB port in LabView. Thanks.

  • Need some information, i'm returning from AMD

    hi all,
    I've been with AMD now for about 2 years, but since the prices have dropped, i wish to return to the true master...
    i have a couple of questions needing answers
    1) why can i not find a mobo with AGP x8 as AMD mobos do have it?
    2) why can't I find one that supports DDR400?
    3) not having DDr400 will this reduce the systems performance, or is the bandwidth from the CPU only big enough for DDR333?
    4) is there much of a difference between AGP x4, and x8?
    5) can get a board with these missing features?
    thx
    Athlonix

    DDR400 and AGPx8 are chipset limitations, not bios limitations.
    The Athlon has an FSB of 266MHz , the P4 FSB of 533MHz.
    As a rule there is no use for the emory running above the FSB speed and memory running below the FSB will create a bottleneck.
    So the XP2400 still has an effective memory bandwidth of 2100MB/s even with DDR400. There might be some 5% increase in preformance but no more.
    The P4 has an effective memory bandwidth of 2700MB/S with this chipset/memory setup.
    It is well known that an Athlon can in some instances outpreform a P4 even with it's lower FSB and clock speed so as you have probobly heared many times MHz isn't a good measure.
    So ultimately it depends what you do with the computer:
    -Gaming: doesn't matter as the VGA card and memory are more important
    -Integer/SSE2/video editing or 3D modeling:  P4 due to stronger integer units.
    -FPU/video compression/3D rendering: AMD due to more FPU units.
    On the upgradabilty side:
    The i845PE supports hyperthreading meaning it will support all Northwood P4's and reportedly even the Prescott.
    The KT400 will support it seems all AMD socketA CPUs including Bartoon with it's 512K cache and 333MHz FSB.
    tough call...
    I guess the AGPx8 tips it in favore of the KT400.
    My opinions:
    1.If you want intel wait for the Granite bay.
    2.If you want AMD wait for nFORCE2.
