A100 HDD replacement

We need to recover the disk hard as a former employee has deleted some files in the operating system.
We do not want to reinstall Windows because it my effect some other files being deleted, and by accident!
We have the software to recover the data, but must be able to access the hard drive and remove it, then run it on our test machine.

Does anyone have an idea how to remove the hard drive?

Hi guys

I put t know how old is your laptop but I think HDD Exchange should be don by an experienced technician because if damage you some components of equipment or do damage on the lid or the threads of the screw the guarantee will on it.

In any case I also have information that undercover HDD is set with just a screw like Meier said. If the slot in the HARD drive is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. After that the disk should detach the support.

    Hello

    Of course you need a compatible HARD drive.
    There are two different standards of HARD drive. SATA and IDE

    You need the HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think the original HARD drive was 100 GB.
    So a 120 GB and maybe a 160 GB SATA HDD should also be compatible.

    As far as I know the HARD drive slot was placed at the bottom of the unit and a screw secures the plastic cover.
    It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and I think that the details could be found in the user manual.

    Good bye

  • Update on Portege A100 HDD

    Hello

    2 questions:

    1. I would like to replace my hard drive 3 yr old portege a100 with 2.5 inch 100-200 GB hard drive (internal).
    I was wondering if it was possible?

    2. I was wondering if, if the hard drive has been replaced with a new drive from 100 to 200 GB, so Windows XP Professional run / would be allowed to install on the new drive?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Windows XP will accept the larger sizes of drive HARD, but not the BIOS!
    The BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive in a case value and you will not be able to reinstall the OS!

    After a short investigation found several compatible HARD drive sizes for Portege A100.
    Seems you can use 40, 60 GB and 80 GB. In my opinion the 100 GB HARD drive could be also compatible. But you will not be able to use a 200 GB HARD drive. It is simply too!

    Hello

    Please use the search function because this topic has already been discussed.

    What CPU do you have? If your processor supports a FSB up to 667 Mhz and the RAM should be able to do the same. So if you install RAM with a 667 Mhz front bus and you have a processor that can handle this then you will get some benefits of upgrading memory 667 MHz.

    I recommend you to download * "CPU - Z" * and check your FSB. Then install the new memory and check again. If the FSB RAM then triggers your CPU supports the new FSB.

    A good choice for the RAM would be Kingston... ;)

  • Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

    Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

    In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

    I need to be able to find and of course spare part number where I can buy one of these ASAP.

    If someone could help me with this, it would be quite apprieciated.

    Thank you

    You can not ONLY buy the fan. The fan is a part of the cooling module and the entire module cooling must be replaced.

    You need a cooling module that has been designed especially for this series of laptop and I know ASP (certified partner) in your country should be able to help.

    I think guys should be able to order this part compatible directly from the warehouse of Toshiba.

    Then call the guy and ask for help!

  • Satellite A100-847 - replacing a WLan card

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-847. I would change as WIFI card for new with "n" standard.
    I found some tutorials how to proceed, but it was for Toshiba A105, very similar to my only.

    I opened the bottom cover where is memory and modem, but I couldn't see all the PCI ports.
    Is it possible to do?
    Does work through mini-PCI or is integrated on the motherboard?

    Hello

    The A100 PSAA9E supports a minPCI WLan card that supports the IEEE 802 standard. 11a / g WLan standards.
    I m not 100% sure if it would be possible to upgrade the WiFi network with a WLan card 802.11 minPCI n because the two antenna cables.
    You should first clarify if the antenna is compatible with the 802.11 standard new * WLan N standard *.

    The minPCI wireless network card must be hidden under the keyboard. So you'd have to remove the keyboard first to get access to the wireless network card.
    The wireless network card is also connected to two antenna cables. The cables must be removed carefully using a pair of tweezers. Then spread plugs securing the wireless LAN card until the card appears.

    Usually it of not difficult to replace this WLan card but if you have no experience I wouldn t recommend doing this.
    This replacement must be done by a qualified technician!
    In addition you guarantee the validity could be cancelled after these updates.

  • Update on the Satellite A100 HDD

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100 (PSAA9A-0CU004), which came with a 80 GB hard drive.
    Anyone know the max HDD capacity this notebook can handle, as I want to upgrade to a larger disk.

    Thank you

    AFAIK the Satellite A100 already has a HARD drive with SATA interface.

    On the SATA interface, there is no capacity limit you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface, what you want.
    The new HARD disk must have SATA and 2.5.

  • Thickness of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500 HDD; Replacement of SSD

    Hey guys,.

    I own a Z500 IdeaPad with a ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB 500 GB HDD by Samsung.

    I would like to do an upgrade with a 1 TB of HDD, I would put in the HARD Drive Caddy (replacement CD/DVD drive).

    And I also intend to get an EVO 840 Samsung SSD, I place in the main HARD disk location.

    BUT the HARD drive I have now is 9, 5mm thick. And the EVO 840 is 7 mm thick. I have problems in the main HARD disk location?

    And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

    I'm terribly sorry for my English is not my mother tongue.

    Thanks in advance.

    medo994 wrote:... HARD drive, I have at the moment is 9, 5mm thick. And the EVO 840 is 7 mm thick. I have problems in the main HARD disk location?

    Answer: Page 71 of the Hardware maintenance manual provides 9.5 mm hdd/sdd can be used. If you have the Player 7.0 mm it can also be accommodated.

    medo994 wrote:... And are there opportunities that I can fit a 12, 5mm disk in the location of main HARD drive or the HARD drive caddy?

    Answer: For the housing of the primary hard drive, the cage hdd/ssd mounting is designed to 9.5 mm, so a 7.0 mm or 9.5 mm hdd/ssd will fit. However, a 12.5 mm will not match. The caddy, you see the caddy if it can accommodate a hard drive of 12.5 mm. You may need to check the side of the caddy against the STRANGE to see if it will fit in the odd-NUMBERED slot.
