Satellite L650 - what is the Data(D:) drive for?

Hi.
What is it for and why is it so big?
Can I decrease its size and add it to the WINDOWS(C:) drive?
I bought the laptop (L650) advertising a 500GB HDD but I can only use 232GB (on the WINDOWS (C:) drive).
Many thanks
Chris

Hello Chris
Im a little bit confused. As far as I know new Toshiba notebooks are by default delivered with two HDD partitions so I dont understand why you can use 232 GB only.
Can you see second partition in Windows Explorer?
Generally speaking you can change partitions and optimize it for your usage but before you change anything create recovery DVD. You know if something goes wrong you can use this disc for OS installation.

    Any recommendations would be great. Need about 1TB.

    Same experience here! They keep the price about the same but you get double the storage, so the price of storage has been going down big time! But now I find myself ******* after Drobo Hey, that editor whacked me for "l u s t i n g" that isn't foul language is it?

  • What is the max hard drive for a late 2006 xserve?

    What is the max hard drive for a late 2006 xserve?

    Hi Kappy,
    That's not quite true. I don't think anyone has managed to get a 3TB drive working as 3TB on an Xserve yet.. Here is the official compatibility matrix from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1219
    2TB seems to be the limit. Some people have had success with non Apple drives but it's very hit and miss..
    All the best

  • What is the largest SSD Drive for my MacBook pro 8,2?

    What is the largest solid state drive I can install in my MacBook pro 15" (Version 8,2 - i7 2.3 GHz) with 8GB RAM I currently am running OS X 10.6.8 But I want to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 and perform a clean install with Mavericks and manually move my files off of my backup.
    The Samsung 1TB  MZ-7TE1TB0BW looks nice but I don't know if it works well with my older MacBook Pro, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.
    Thanks

    1TB is as large as you'll get. Crucial also makes a nice one, and I can speak for Crucial working well with a machine that's 2 years older than yours.

  • What is the best external drive for my MBP using Bootcamp

    Here is what I would like to do.
    I have the latest MBP (5/2008) and I am using bootcamp with vista. I use my mac side and my vista side of the partition equally.
    I am finding it annoying that I am running out of drive space on both side of my computer.
    I am looking for an external drive that I can use with both vista and OS X. Do they exist? I am guessing any drive can be formated to work with one or the other but can any drive work with both at the same time?
    Ideally the drive would be a wifi drive and I can save off all my music and pictures to the external drive and it would be able to stream the music back to my notebook on either side of bootcamp.
    I would also like to plug the drive in and use it as an external drive when editing with final cut.
    I would also like to use the drive wirelessly for backups with OS X time machine.
    Is this asking too much from an external drive?
    What type of drives work well with OS X/ FCP and video storage? Does it have to be firewire or can it be USB2.0?
    Thanks for any help. I am asking because the 1TB apple time capsule is too expensive and will not work with vista.

    Edit Update:
    When I saw wireless-ly all I am really looking for is an drive that can also be used as a networked drive. The drive itself does not need wifi (might be nice) I just want to be able to be able to keep the drive away from my laptop (most of the time) and plug it into my router so it will show up as a networked drive for both all my computers on my home network.
    Thanks for any suggestion

  • What is the Best Hard Drive for a Powerbook Pismo 200 and best size for sto

    I have a Power book G3 Pismo 2000 which came with a 10 GB Hard Drive. It is almost full and I want to upgrade the Hard drive to a bigger and I do not know the best hard drive and what is the maximum space I will need? Can you recommend size and Manufacture?

    I bought a 80GB Toshiba for my Pismo. It seems to work well. I believe the largest drive that will be fully recognized is a 120GB drive.
    Here's a good place to see your options. Go to this web page at OWC and get a listing of your upgrade options for your Mac model.

    You can get the product models and specs, and shop around, but OWC has pretty good prices.

  • What is the prefered hard drive for Mac Pro 1.1?

    Hello everyone, I want to fill the 4th Mac Pro Raid hard drive. I want to know the best hard drive out there and the maximum capacity I should buy. The computer came with 3 hard drives 750.16 each. Thank you for help!
    Mac OS X/10.6.8/2x3 GHz dual-core Intel Xeon/13 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

    4TB if you want max size. There is no max and it all depends on what you do.
    Not sure but "pro raid" better not  be Apple RAID controller as that does have limits and problems and not  sure you  use and need RAID5 controller.
    I'd say WD 10K 1TB VelociRaptor as "best in class" outside of SAS
    WD Black 2TB for cost size performance or 4TB new $300 for max
    WD Black line has been used by users and Apple for OEM and 1TB model
    When doing RAID or RAID5 I would use the old drives for backup and replace all four.
    And keep the boost drive on SSD ($100 Samsung 840, or 10K WD VR 250GB)  or 500GB WD VR $139, great little and fast.  Samsung 840 240GB is also gotten affordable-ish. Nice larger boot drive.
    I went with 8x2GB for $130 now from Amazon for FBDIMMs.
    And ATI 5770.

  • What is the right HD drive for the new (2008) mac pro

    what's exactly the difference between Sata I, Sata II, sata 150, sata 300, sata 3gb ???
    what drive's should i use in the new mac pro ? any advice / clearification would be great !

    Thats a very good drive, I've been using them in Sony Vaios and laptops for years in various forms and they are blazing fast, never had one problem with them.
    I think they have software on the website which lets you config the drive for acoustically quieter operation or 'full bore' speed. Been awhile since I've bought one so maybe thats not available anymore.

  • What is the correct wireless driver for x31 type 2672-phh ?

    Do i have to install a wireless network driver first ? What is the correct driver for a x31laptop type 2672-PHH ? Is it the "6hwc05ww.exe" ? Its not working for me. A command prompt just pops-up and saying something "kill_app.exe" and "inst_app.exe" then it just disappears. What is the correct driver ?

    Hi and welcome to the forum pythonscript!
    If it's driver issue then you should see yellow marks in the device manager, your post doesn't say so, but let's start with the driver. Your system has ThinkPad card and following is the correct driver that needs to be installed for your wireless card:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73701
    There is a hardware wireless radio switch on your SL410, make sure it is turned on too.
    Keep us informed.  
    Maliha (I don't work for lenovo)
    ThinkPads:- T400[Win 7], T60[Win 7], IBM 240[Win XP]
    IdeaPad: U350
    Apple:- Macbook Air [Snow Leopard]

  • What is the largest hard drive for a Xraid

    I want to get some more size out of my existing Xraid. Can I put 7 x 2 gb harddrives into one side of my Xraid

    Camelot is quite correct in that 750gb is the limit for PATA drives and officially supported drives in the Xserve RAID. You can get a PATA to SATA adaptor like this one http://www.c3-xtech.com/ or something from StarTech that will fit in the caddy and allow you to go up to 1TB per drive. Thing is although they are great bits of kit the Xserve RAID is long in the tooth now and the cost of doing this might make it a bit uneconomical.
    If you do decide to go for anything above 500gb in the RAID you'll need the last firmaware, I think it's 1.51c for the higher capacity drives to be recognised.
    Hope that helps

  • Satellite P200-1EE - is the Data (E:) drive physically seperate from C:?

    Want to format and re-install everything on the laptop as it's playing up during operation. However need to confirm if the drives are actually seperate and not virtual, so I know to backup on an external drive instead of losing everything!
    Thanks for your advice people!

    I agree with Barrie. When you use the Toshiba recovery disk, the HDD will be formatted and you will lose your data.
    If you use a Microsoft Disk, you can choose on which partition the OS (operating system) should be installed. So must not backup your data.
    By the way, I save my data additional on an external HDD.

  • What is the right "class driver" for my EPSON printer Aculaser CX 21N ?

    Please let me know the correspondence between the EPSON class drivers proposed in the "Bonjour Print Services" tool (a lot of the EPSON class drivers seems to be identical) and the EPSON "Bonjour Printer Name" AL-CX21-3FD57B (IP) and (PostScript) (my printer).
    Notes :
    Before with Windows 7 that works properly => now - after my migration to "Windows 8 professional" - that don't works anymore !
    "Apple Care" tell me first to completely uninstall and reinstall all the following programs: iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support => that's what I also do in full accordance with the Apple article HT1923 dated 2013, 21 February !
    I tried to active my Printer through the disk received with my printer => no chance the systems tell me that I have no enough access right to do that !
    I also found in the "Information - Network" of my above mentionned printer the following data under "Entity Type":
    LaserWriter
    EPSONPCL5C
    EPSONPCLXL
    EPSONPAGES3

    I also have an Epson printer. You indicated that you already downloaded an updated driver from Epson's website. Did you also downloaded the one(s) that came w/the Epson CD? However, you did not mention that you repaired permissions & restarted after the installation.
    If the above was not done, then I suggest that you do so. Hopefully, this should solve your problem.
    I just checked the Epson folder in my HD & your model printer is NOT listed among them.

  • What is the best optical drive for MacPro (early 2008) ?

    I am having my MacPro optical drive repaired but I wish to add a new one in the second bay.
    I have come to know that the Apple Store does not sell it separetely and do not know what to buy.
    Suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Mac Pro 3,1 also has two extra SATA ports, easy enough to run a cable from one or both of them to the optical drive bays. But if you want to use the connectors that are already in the optical drive bays get one of these:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007589%2060000370 5&IsNodeId=1&name=IDE
    Or get a SATA drive. I put a Blue Ray drive in so I can burn data to those, I have an LG
    WH12LS38 that was plug and play (I think I had to order a SATA cable for it).
