Satellite L750 - Face Recognition (plus partition rant)
Posted: 07-Jun-2012 16:12

Having just got this Satellite L750 - I must say that I'm becoming a little cheesed off with it!! I thought that Toshiba had improved but maybe not.

When I click on the Face Recognition program, all I get is a window that says "You do not have permission to perform this task -Please contact your administrator for help" - Great!! Any ideas?

And the disk is partitioned equally between C: and D:. I want to shrink D: and extend C: but to do that I need a third party disk management program as W7 won't let me do it. Why on earth put in two equal partitions!! Maybe I'll dump the whole lot and do a clean install of W7 Ultimate (I have a licence) - Tosh just makes a hash of it in my view........

OK OK - Uninstalled then reinstalled from the Tosh website and it works. Why can't they install working software when they make the darn things... (Grrrr).

Still don't understand why they create two equal partitions of 348GB though - crazy............

Hay

Who cares what Toshiba do? Toshiba offers notebooks with “factory settings”. Nobody force you to use it so it is. Create recovery disc at first and later you can do with partitions whatever you want.

Recovery disks created as soon as I opened it - as I always do.

You can't do as you wish to the partitions without using third party software (C: and D: each share half the 750GB Disk with D: only having the recovery elements on it). Using the inbuilt Partition Manager frees up space to the right of the D: partition, so it can't be joined to the C: partition as it's not 'contiguous'. I guess the question has to be just what has Tosh got in mind when they partition it like that............

Anyway no matter - I've decided to reformat the disk completely and install a fresh copy of W7 Ultimate - dumping all the Tosh dosh at the same time........

Shame really - the laptop is really very good as far as build quality is concerned - but the way it's set up by Tosh is appalling......... The HP it's replaced was set up in a much better way, but the build quality was, well, quite appalling really.........
