I was under the impression that it had the 5400rpm drive in it until I removed it from the unit and looked at it. Another thing is that this unit is almost two years old. I think 4200rpm drive was the base model drive. I would bet that the 5400rpm dirve was optional from some notebook manufacturers. I don't even know if there were and 2.5" 7200rpm drives out at that time. This will be the last Toshiba product I buy that is for sure though.

I thought that this was an interesting tidbit. Moore rebuked

f*** all - you must be from the UK.

If it would work I was thinking about an 80 GB 5400 unit. That is why I am trying to find out if my BIOS will not support larger than 60 GB if I partition the 80 GB in half if that would work.

Yes it is for my model. It is listed on the website for the s301 but if you download it and look at the directions it lists models 301 to 304 or 5 whatever they go up to.

Actually this is the latest one: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su...gngdglj.0&ct=DL

Its a Toshiba Satellite 1905-s303. It is a Phoenix Bios but when you go into the BIOS screen you can't really do too much.

Unfortunately I own a Toshiba Satellite notebook. My hard drive has recently developed some bad segments and I have been told that once that happens the hard drive is on its way out. The machine is out of warranty and I was looking at buying a hard drive. The current hard drive is 40 GB @ 4200 RPM. I would like to upgrade to a larger and faster hard drive if possible. I was told once about a year ago by Toshiba that the BIOS would not support a drive larger than 60 GB if I remember correctly. I called Toshiba today and since my machine is out of warranty they want $35 for an answer so I figured I would come here first. Is there a way to find out what the BIOS supports without paying the $35? If it did only support 60 GB, if I got an 80 GB and partitioned into to 40's would that work? Thanks for the help.

I tried that and it did not seem to work.

I did chkdsk /p and it ran the entire test without restarting but it did say that the volume had one or more errors.

No.

I think that is what the problem is. I did a scan disk and it comes up with some bad sectors I believe. The results are only flashed up there for a second. Is there anyway to pause the computer from restarting right away after doing a scan disk? And if that is the problem what is the best way to fix it?

How would I find out?

OK I disabled the auto restart. The bluescreen error at the top said - "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

I got the latest updates from Adobe.

All of the sudden my computer crashes and it flashes the bluescreen and restarts when I run my Norton Antivirus 2004. I had both of these programs installed for months without any issues prior to today. It happens when it scans my Adobe 6.0 Pro files in the Common Files folder. If I try to uninstall the Adobe the computer crashes just the same. I went in and manually deleted the Adobe files from the Common Files folder and then went and removed it and everything went fine. I did a virus scan and everything was fine. I re-installed Adobe and the computer crashed again when doing the virus scan. Any ideas?

That worked. Thanks.

It is not there. It gets buffered somewhere though.

I go to a website and it has some streaming video. You click on the video section and it opens in a new screen that has a small WMP screen embedded into the screen and the video shows. How do I save the video to my hard drive?

When you check your processes how many times does it come up? On my computer it is running twice.

My computer all of the sudden restarted on its own the other day and I couldn't figure out why. I don't have the computer set to automatically update though.

My Toshiba did the same thing. It had a bad systems board which is a very common problem on Toshibas. After owning a Toshiba laptop I will never buy anything made buy Toshiba again.

That fixed it. Thank you very much. Do you have any idea what caused it to stop working?

My scheduled tasks quit working a day or two ago and I cannot seem to get it to work. I have it set to run a virus scan every morning at 7 AM and it has not been doing it. I tried deleting the task and then recreating it and it still did not work. I tried creating another task other than the virus scan, Disk Cleanup to be exact, to make sure it was not something wrong with the antivirus and it did not work either. I checked under Admin Tools in Services and the Task Scheduler is set to Automatic and is running but it does not seem to work.

I can see having some type of limit, but 10 mb seems small to me. I deal with alot of service manuals and parts diagrams for stuff and people are always looking for copies. They very between 8 MB and 105 MB. It would be nice to be able to just send a file to someone'e email address without having to split into 15 seperate parts.
