Try removing the Battery and running the Toshiba on the mains charger alone.
I suspect the Toshiba will start up and run fine. If so, it appears that you need to buy a new Battery,
Batteries do not last a very long time and all sorts of things can shorten their lifespan.
Before connecting anything to an USB port you need to install the software for the device. Then you can connect it.
But when you have an old laptop it could be it can't handle the 2 TB.
First install the software that came with the drive. Then see if the laptop can handle the 2TB.
to reset the BIOS, there is a small battery somewhere in your computer. if you unplug it for 3 seconds, it will reset the BIOS. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT TRY THIS! get a service professional. If this doesn't work you might need to get a new laptop.
Hey! It is possible to convert your Toshiba HD E1 DVD player to region free. But you need some DVD Copy software to help you remove the region code first and then burn it on a new DVD disc. Thus you can play it on your DVD player. I recommend you use this DVD Copy which is very esay-to-use.
If you want to watch your DVDs on PC or some portable palyer, you can use some DVD Ripping Software which can remove CSS protection from DVD and convert DVDs to video palyable on PC. You can have a try of this DVD Ripper.
Hope that helps.
what size capacity is the new hard drive - and what is the bios on your laptop able to recognise ? is it an upto date laptop ? some old bios's unable to see newer larger drives.... try updating the bios of your laptop
You query did not give any clues abt the PC/Motherboard and its BIOS revision.
That said if the PC/BIOS will not "see" the HDD then its is unlikely a cause of a virus.
Some old motherboards can't recognise a HDD if its size is more than 137GB. Some older motherboard also require than you set the HDD jumper correctly (Master or Slave).
At this stage, i am assuming the HDD in question is PATA or IDE (Old Spec). If the HDD is SATA (New Spec), then you will need a SATA port to connect the HDD. Ensure not to use both "old" molex power connector and "newer" SATA power connector together.
If the HDD is SATAII but the SATA spec for your motherboard is SATAI (initial spec), some motherboards and SATAII drives require that you jumper the HDD to allow it to work at the lower SATA speed.
If none of the above points apply try upgrading your system BIOS of the latest version. Also review the mortarboard's manual for more info.
