  • Need new HDD for my Satellite C855 1RL

    My drive hard internal is not read and was told that I need a new. Where can I buy a new HDD for a Satellite C855 1RL, and what kind of money it costs. I have the recovery disks

    Thank you

    You can buy new HARD drive in every store of the computer. What you need is 2.5 "SATA HDD.
    In my opinion you should now reflect on the upgrade and buy SSD that will offer more performance and make your laptop run much faster than before.

    Talk with your dealer ad pick up some useful information about the HDD and SSD upgrade Exchange.

  • Installation of a new HDD in the Satellite 4320 Pro, advice?

    I need a new HARD drive in my baby, his old HDD is clicking and whirring and apparently not in good health, more since I installed Windows XP with service pack 2 I can no longer hold my programs on the tiny 6 GB thing!

    I was wondering if you wonderful people out there can help me by answering my questions:

    1. is there a limit on the size of the HARD drive that my ' 4320 Pro can take, if there is a limit (for example, 10 GB) so can I upgrade the BIOS to allow for a more generous size (say 40-80 GB)?

    2. is it difficult to remove the old HDD and then put the new? Has anyone else done this procedure before? Should I take my baby into pieces? I installed the new memory before and had no problem :), it was very easy it will be that easy?

    3. What is the depth of the original 6 gb 2.5 "HDD in my little girl? The replacement of all them seem to 9.5 mm deep will take a kind of foam spacer if for example my old HDD to 12 mm?

    4. Finally someone noticed problems once they have installed a new HDD on there Sat Pro?

    Thank you in advanced for your wisdom.

    Hi Stu,

    In response to your questions: -.

    1. most computers manufactured since the end of the 1990s can accommodate the larger discs, I found several supplies citing disks > 40 GB for your model. Any restrictions imposed by your BIOS could be corrected.

    2. remove the HARD drive is relatively simple and will generally involve nothing undo more than a few screws. Most hard disks are held in a caddy of some kinds and this will have to be transferred to your new drive. You must locate your current HARD drive (it must be under a Panel on the side or your laptop. Note that some models locate the HARD disk in the optical drive, so you may need to remove this first.

    3 hard drives usually come in two sizes, 2.5 "and 3.5", this refers to the width of the player. the real depth is largely irrelevant, since it will be held in a caddy. You certainly should not wrap the reader with the foam.

    4. I replaced my drive HARD original with an 80 GB version. The process took less than 10 minutes, and then I just rebuilt my system from the product recovery discs before restoring my data on a backup CD.

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

  • Do need me an adapter for the new HDD in Tecra T9100?

    I try to install a new hard drive (Toshiba 456 X3I89209S S/N this.) A, 40 GB). Need me an adapter or a framework for that?
    The HARD drive has no adapter, just the usual PATA pins.

    Your new HARD drive is a 2.5 or 3.5?
    Only 2.5 hard drives will fit in a laptop.

    However, you need a HARD drive connector to use the HARD drive in the laptop.
    But if you remove the old HDD there is already such a connector. Remove this connector and put it to the new.
    That s all and then you can use it.

    Hello

    I'm 99.9% sure that you can use this disk, but in my opinion you should spend it with HARD drive with more capacity. I think 200 or even 250 GB should work just fine with your laptop satellite.

    I know that European Satellite A200 is supported up to 250 GB HDD.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite L300-1BD

    Hey,.

    my laptop Toshiba Satellite HARD drive no longer works.
    So I'm going to buy a new one today, but what one do need me? As the number of inches? And what is a SATA connection or something?

    Could someone please tell me what I watch when I buy a new HARD drive for this laptop

    Hello Vivendi

    One thing is strange for me: I guess your laptop L300 is fairly new and I do not understand why you want to buy a new HARD drive. Warranty is still valid?

    Please check. If the warranty is still valid contact nearest authorized maintainer, and I am sure that you will get replacement free of charge.

    If you want to buy it too, I assume you want to replace one. Then, remove the old HDD and on the white label, you will find all the necessary information on the HARD drive.
    In any case, it takes 2.5 SATA HDD.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite A110-178

    Hello people,

    Anyone know where I can order/buy a new internal hard drive for my laptop cause my hard drive died.

    Greetz

    Hi friend

    of course, the internet offers a wide range of hard disk drives. You have to do is check google and type something like "2.5 inches HDD SATA" or «SATA HDD laptop»

    For some reason, you can check for example ebay and search there for SATA hard drive, which is integrated in laptops (the height of the car shouldn´t be more than 9.5 mm).
    It s just important that you're looking for SATA and IDE not. Any other topic doesn´t. Oh, I'm not sure what the maximum size of HDD machine can take, toshiba says something about 120GB, but you will have to prove by yourself if the machine may take longer.

  • Replaced the HDD, need new Windows 7 genuine

    Hey,.
    My HD failed, and I needed to replace it.
    I don't have DVD repair or any support to install Windows.

    I tried to download from Microsoft, but they are sending me to Toshiba.
    Any way I can download a good Windows 7 for my laptop?

    THX,
    JO

    If you want to have YOUR OS that you got with your laptop, it has nothing to do with Microsoft. What you need is the original installation disc of recovery.

    This recovery image can not be downloaded. You need to order recovery media.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite A10

    Hello.

    As my A10 satellite hard drive had a lot of problems lately, I bought a new drive. However, when I turn on the labtop, it freezes just on the screen "select boot device". I'm not still able to enter the BIOS. I can hear the disc upward rotation, but there is no reading of it.

    The old drive was a 4200 RPM, 2 ATA-100 MB disk Toshiba while the new is a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 with 5400 RPM / MN and 8 MB cache. Anyone aware of the A10 is having problems with the new disks, or someone has a suggestion for what I should try?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    Have you tried to install the OS on the new HARD drive?

    I think that the laptop does not freeze, but the BIOS can not find a boot device.
    You must insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and must try to boot from this CD.
    If you cannot select the STRANGE as boot device in the BIOS you could simply press the C button immediately after you start the laptop.
    This option allows booting from the CD/DVD drive.
