How can i format the HDD for my Toshiba satellite 1905-S301?

You just boot from the install cd/dvd, you get the option to delete partitions as you go along.

This is the only card that works in the mini-PCI slot in the 1905 series. eBay would be your best bet. You can look under "Toshiba 1905 wireless card" but ... make sure it's an Agere card, as most sellers are selling Intel, Broadcom, Atheros.... and none of them will work.

Yes it will run without battery in place... it not you may have charger plug or lead problem... let me know...

Hi! You may want to toggle the function button designated for turning the monitor on or off. Press FN button together with th efunction button that has a monitor image on it. some system uses F2 of F3 button to do this. (Example: press FN+F3 or FN+F2 button together once while computer is on to turn on system display)

You need to download and install a CODEC package..

Lots of incompatibilities and covering pin 13 does NOT solve the problem with this series laptops. Get the MPC13A-20/R 802.11b card - it works wonderfully well, even though it's only a 'b' card.

There is none! Anything you wanna add to the 1905 series will have to be done via its PCMCIA (PC card) slots.

It is either a driver problem or registry problem if you installany new hardware or software before this happened try this when you first tuen on computer after it past post before the windows screen come on push and hold down the F8 key this will send it into a screen asking how do you want to start windowsfirst try to use last known good configuation and if that doesnot work repeat process and try safe mode and uninstall any new software or hardware

Please try changing the HDD. If same thing happens the problem may be with ur O/s Cd or the Mother board
Please let me know this is used machine or New one. If new one please take a different O/S cd and install it.

If you are installing XP and your HDD is SATA then you need sata drivers.
