    Hello, I was asked few question about X205-S9349.

    Does HD DVD drive in X205-S9349 would play all HD-DVD movies? I had found about issue with driver in HD-DVD drive that cause unable to run all HD-DVD movies.

    I want know about how much amount of bloatware in X205-S9349, what's left for space free in 240GB HDD, out of 240GB HDD.

    Does plastic coating on top of laptop can be peeling off so easily? How can prevent it?

    I'm looking for new gaming laptop.

    If given HD DVD uses the copy protection, you will need all the certified & signed drivers for video, audio etc to play the protected content.

    I dont see how plastic coating (more exactly its laquer finish) will peel, unless you enthusiastically scratch it on a daly basis. And that shouldnt happen with a desknote which X205 is.

    Have you updated your player software, check this out:

    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=1840939&moid=1757703&rpn=PSPB9U&BV_SessionID=@@@@1701736367.1196191442@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciaddmiemkmhfcgfkceghdgngdgmn.0&ct=SB&all_docs=false

    Apply the data update at the bottom of the page.


    Also, it has 2 120gb drives, and the O/S is on the first, so that's where all of the bloatware is... uninstall what is not needed.
