Satellite L50-B-2C8 - new SSD is not recognized in BIOS settings

Hello,
I just bought a new notebook Toshiba Satellite L50-B-2C8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250GB.
When I try to install the SSD drive instead my HDD the BIOS show "none" in Category SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).
Please help me.
My bios version is : 2.00v
*** someone told me that I need to downgrade my BIOS version to 1.2v, and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so maybe someone here can send me a download link to the 1.2 version of my model L50-B-2C8 .
Thanks

But BIOS v1.2 for Satellite L50-B-2C8 PSKTQE series does not exists the v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and older BIOS versions are not available for this series.
Furthermore I guess you will need slimply check different SSD drive it could be possible that other SSD drive would be recongized properly.
By the way: Im owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as far as I can remember I had to update the SSD drive firmware to use it properly in connection with my other notebook (not Toshiba unit)
problem solved tnx

Satellite Pro S300 - HDD in caddy is not recognized by BIOS

I have replaced the original HDD and installed a new SSD which works fine.
Installed the W7Pro and all updates.
I do not use my CD-Writer so I replaced the CD-drive and installed a caddy with my old HDD to have more diskspace.
When I boot my laptop I see a message CD-ROM ERROR.
In device manager the caddy and or the HDD are not shown.
I tried to change settings in the BIOS (according Toshiba utility the latest version) but even in the Bios is no information about the present SSD or the installed HDD. (or the CD-Drive when I re-install this drive again)
What is wrong here? Do I need an updated BIOS that allows the 2nd HDD?
Or do I overlook a setting somewhere?
NB In the BIOS the HDD drive settingis according ACPI, in the listing below it is mentioned as IDE device.
When I enter in the BIOS IDE in stead of ACPI I still see the CD-ROM ERROR during boot and after this message the screen is blue and no further activity.
The relevant PC Information:
Model Name Satellite Pro S300
Part Number PSSB0E-02H00FDU
Serial Number 88091121H
OS Version Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
BIOS Version Version 3.00

Thank you for the help sofar.
Indeed I do have a third party caddy. I first bought one (no brand) at MyCom. At MyCom I was told that that unit would work on my Toshiba. Well, it didn't so I returned the caddy.
Then I contacted the company note bookcaddy through internet.
They thought it should work and they have sent me a new caddy from their brand (without payment; just to try!)
They have tried a lot to help me make this unit work. But it failed until now.
Does the bios check for the message that the CD-drive is available and does it not except the message from the HDD device that it is not a CD-Drive?
Maybe I only have to change the wiring inside the caddy to let the Bios think there is a drive present?

6465b - Bios and ssd issue. Intel 520 not recognized by BIOS.

Hi,
I am writing with 2 issues.
First, BIOS issue.
BIOS F.20 for 6465b and 6565b is no longer available. The current version on HP support page is BIOS F.03. Anybody know why it was changed?
When will be released F.22 which should enable support for SATA III, as F.22 for 6x60b notebook?
Second, ssd issue, which I believe is connected with Bios.
I've bought Intel 520 120gb SSD and it is not recognized by BIOS. When I put it as primary hard drive and turn notebook on,i go 5 blink of caps + num lock, and al stuck.
I can't install system. But ssd works when in external eSATA enclosure. So it isn't ssd related problem.
I know for sure that 320, m4 are perfectly working on 6465b. Other SF drives, Force GT and Agility 3, too.
What is wrong with 520, and how it can be resolved. I think only new BIOs, unfortunately.

I can confirm that an Intel 520 SSD in combination with an HP 6465b is an issue.. The CAPS + Scroll blink 5 times while in POST. This indicates a general mainboard issue, but I am 100% sure that there is an incompatibility between the two
I have installed BIOS F.21 and the firmware of the Intel SSD is standard (errrr 300i if I'm not mistaken).
Right now the laptop is useless (it has to have a SSD drive for our developer-dudes) so I'm hoping HP will release F.22 soon.. Where did you find that F.22 will add support for SATAIII?
Stupid thing is, when I put the drive in a really old beast (HP nx7400) the SSD works without hickups.

I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

Have you ever tried the FW 400 to 800 adapter?
I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
Try this (maybe you already have):
-Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
-Do not connect drive but turn it on
-wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
-plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
This is an old drive and may have some timing
issues.
I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago. It
worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.

I just bought the latest ipod shuffle to use with another older one. But when I tried to download updates and charge the new shuffle it is nowhere to be found. The new download is not recognized

I just bought the latest ipod shuffle and want to put my library songs on it. Why when I tried to install the latest version of i-tunes nothing happened. My new pod is connected to my laptop USB 2.0 port but it is nowhere to be found. Why is this new shuffle pod not recognized?

You downloaded iTunes AND installed it, right? What you downloaded is the installer, which installs the iTunes app (and other things like drivers) on your computer. You then have to run the iTunes app.
If you did that already, make sure the USB docking cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
When connected, the shuffle's light should come ON. That indicates it is getting power. If it blinks orange (at least initially), that indicates it is connecting for data.
If you are good so far, in iTunes, the sidebar (along left side of window) may be hidden. If it is, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When the shuffle is connected, it should be listed in the sidebar, below DEVICES. Does it appear there?

Is it possible that in app purchases have been restricted? Also is it possible that there could be restrictions in place regarding content? Could ratings be in place for the magazines?

I have a script that runs well the vast majority of the time. On occasion I get an exception. I would appreciate any insight as to why it fails on occasion. I can't understand why the new-object cmdlet wouldn't be recognized:

Hi,
Please close your current powershell console, and start a new Window, and then check the result.
Like David replied, this is a strange issue, hard to find the cuase, but I will report the issue, hope
someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.

The term "New-MailboxExportRequest" is not recognized.

Hi,
I'm trying to backup the mailboxes on my exchange server 2010 running on server 2008 R2 using the script from Steve Goodman (http://www.stevieg.org/2010/07/using-the-exchange-2010-sp1-mailbox-export-features-for-mass-exports-to-pst/)
I followed every step that is described in the tutorial. But if I run the script I get: The term "New-MailboxExportRequest" is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
The permissions for the folder are: exchange trusted subsystem, administrators Full control. I ran the command
"New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mailbox Import Export" -User Administrator" in the powershell of exchange. I tried exporting a single mailbox to PST but I got the same error. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know a solution? Help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Sturme,
I suggest you follow this document use New-MailboxExportRequest to export the mailbox, then check whether this issue will occur or not.

Booting from a SATA controller not recognized by BIOS.

I have an USB install of Arch Linux and it works pretty well for me, I can access the files on the SATA drive, browse the intarwebs and code, but I can't really paint on it and that forces me to have a Windows installation on the hard drive.
But the problem is that the BIOS doesn't see the disk and since it isn't a Linux kernel I can't refer to it through UID and I'm not entirely sure GRUB can see non-BIOS disks either, which doing ls from GRUB commandline seems to confirm, as it only lists the USB stick and it's partitions. Is there any GRUB 2 module or other way to have it recognize the disk plugged into the controller, so I can chainload into Windows?
The Windows bootloader seems to be capable of booting from a disk not recognized by BIOS so as long as I chainload into it I guess it'll be all right.
I heard there is some way to stuff the Windows bootloader onto a pendrive or even force the controller BIOS into motherboard BIOS, but I'd rather avoid this and stick with GRUB if possible.
If it's any help here's what the lspci has to say about the controller:
01:08.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller (rev 50)
Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
I/O ports at a000 [size=16]
I/O ports at a400 [size=16]
I/O ports at a800 [size=16]
I/O ports at ac00 [size=16]
I/O ports at b000 [size=32]
I/O ports at b400 [size=256]
[virtual] Expansion ROM at 20000000 [disabled] [size=64K]
Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: sata_via
Kernel modules: sata_via
Thanks in advance.

No it doesn't and the mobo doesn't have such a setting.
In the end I searched for the controller BIOS on the intarwebs and ended up modyfing the motherboard BIOS to include it with cbrom, though I had to sacrifice the netboot module for it to fit; I didn't use anyway, so no big loss. By chance I didn't screw up anything during flashing and now there is a controller RAID prompt after the usual BIOS screen and I can boot from"SCSI" which is the SATA disk. I can now install Windows no problem and GRUB2 recognizes the disk on it's own too.
But I don't really like this modyfing BIOS stuff, is there seriously no way to do it, save maybe writing my own GRUB2 module by gleaning the code of sata_via kernel module?
Also at some point I think I made ntldr see the disk with unmodified mobo BIOS, but I don't remeber how exactly I did it and anyway the USB with bootloader became 0-th drive, so the Windows of course wouldn't boot (why doesn't it have drivemap, duh). It would be best if I somehow made GRUB2 see this disk with unmodified BIOS and then drivemap and fire the ntldr, but if that can't be done, then oh well.

Satellite L50-B-1P1 - external display is not working

I have just bought a satellite L50-B-1P1. When I tried to connect the RGB (VGA) port to a TV ( as a external monitor), the display screen of the laptop became smaller and the right part of the whole picture was missing, even when the external monitor was not switched on.
The laptop screen has left and right display a black background. The picture is located in the middle. Is this supposed to be normal or something is wrong with this laptop?
All answers are welcomed

As I understood the message, you have enabled the external display output and could see the picture on the TV.
The question is; what resolution the TV supported and what external output option did you choose?
The point is that you can switch to the external display choosing the option; extended desktop, clone display or you can switch off the internal display and show the picture only on external monitor TV.
In case you have cloned the display, both displays (internal + external) has to use the same resolution! In case the TV would support lower resolution, the internal notebook screen would lower the resolution too!
I would recommend you to read the user manual it provides some basic notebook knowledge

New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

Hi all,
I have recently bought a brand new NEC ND-6650 DVD writer.
This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600, at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). Bios updates higher than version 2.60 are not provided.
Does this mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?
Thanks and best regards,
Nils

Hi Nils,
I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your notebook. As with all optical drives your new drive will be configured as either Slave or Master (or possible cable select), and this configuration must match your notebook.
Usually your hard drive will be configured as Master on IDE channel 0 with your optical drive being the slave device on the same channel. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as Master on IDE channel 1.
Normally the setting is pre-configured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure that they are the same.
regards,

New Optical Drive, Not Recognized

New optical drive replaced in a Satellite 5205-S503. The previous drive was recognized, powered up, but recently played nothing. I replaced it with another TEAC DW-224E. This drive powers up when I place a CD in it, but is not being recognized. I did not think I needed drivers because I am using Windows XP Pro. Because it is clearly powering up and spinning a disc, I am assuming that it has been connected properly internally.
Help!

Satellite 5205-S503
Did you follow instructions like those here?
How to remove and replace laptop DVD/CD-rom drive
Open Device Manager and expand DVD/CD-ROM drives. Can you see the drive there? If so, right-click it and click Uninstall. Reboot to reinstall the driver.

New ipod video not recognized by my computer at all

i have an ipod mini and itunes on my windows xp computer. i just bought the new ipod video that it is not recognized by my computer at all. i plug it in and the entire computer freezes. if i plug in my mini everything works fine.
i have tried updating/uninstalling my new ipod video. i am worried that if i uninstall itunes that i will lose my purchased music.
does anyone have any suggestions as to what i should do? does anyone have the same problem as me? i really want to start using my new ipod help please.

I assume you have installed the iPod driver, before connecting the 5G iPod. It is possible the device driver for the mini is different, and thus confusing your computer. The iPod driver is on the CD that came with your 5G iPod (iPod with Video)
