• Satellite L300 - new info required hard drive

  I own a Satellite L300 and need to replace the hard drive. I am in Korea and went to the DEPOT, but they could not only replace the drive hard because they had only them in Korean, so I have to go elsewhere to get one in English (this is what I was told anyway) I don't know much about computers, I'm looking for help.

  When I bought my computer it came with Vista pre installed, so I don't have an installation disc or something like that. Because I get a new hard drive, I also will need to buy Vista and install it myself?

  Hello, my friend

  I'm a bit confused after reading your ad. Replacing the HARD drive is so simply and can be done by anyone and I do not understand how the service couldn t be able to do this. for this action, you need 10 minutes and can be done without manuals or service manuals.

  If you want to do this alone, please follow these steps:
  -Turn the laptop
  -Remove the battery
  -close to the battery you will see HDD cover fixed with two screws
  -remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive
  -remove the block of HARD drive by pulling on the tab of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
  -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two screws flat head black with black head screws
  Please be careful with hard drives and apply pressure to the top or bottom of the unit.

  Vista operating system
  New Toshiba laptops are delivered without disc facilities but recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. When you start the laptop for the first time, you will see the recall of information you need to create this single disc using pre-installed Toshiba Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. If you do not create and now the HARD drive is faulty, you have a problem. You must order the new Toshiba recovery media or you can use disks of Microsoft facilities to install Vista.

  If I forgot something please let me know.

• Satellite L300 - cannot install Vista - HARD drive not detected

  My laptop model is Satellite L300. Model No.: PSLB0E-06U01HAR.

  I am facing problem with Windows Vista Home Basic.
  In the middle of the instalation, it does not detect the hard drive.
  Its shows me the error that is your hard drive erased or not connected the power cable.

  But I installed the operating system like UBUNTU successfully opened.

  Let me know how to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Did you include the SATA driver?
  If this is not the case, this could be the reason why the HARD drive is not detected.

  However, you can disable the AHCI in the BIOS and it could spend in compatible mode. In this case the SATA driver is not important

• Satellite L300-110 USB external hard drive is no longer detected

  I used my external hard drive via a USB connection for a while normally, I wanted to remove most of his files and only keep my important files. After I restarted my laptop it now is no longer detected

  My external hard drive model is HTS54101 0G9SA00
  Connected via a storage drive HARD Portable USB 2.0 Phillips

  The USB ports are ok, I plugged a USB optical mouse through them and it works, and sometimes the LED on the Phillips turns red with still no detection of my laptop.

  Please advise, I lost my mobile hard disk of 100 gega?

  Sounds like the hard drive has failed.

  The only thing I can think that you can try is to update your Chipset drivers. I don't know if this will fix the problem even if, as you have pointed out that the machine can detect other USB devices already.

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I got old A40 son of infections of Virus and spyware. Now, I want to improve.

  At the present time, I have still the old Bios and a 30 GB IDE drive at 4200 RPM. (model n ° PSA45E-007N1-EN)
  It's like the A10 that accepts maximum 60 GB drive or I can't do big?

  One provider suggested that I stay at 4200 RPM, but to ask Toshiba what they recommend, so far unanswered.
  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  How have you tried to ask Toshiba? As far as I know, you can ask the service provider authorized in your country information but not a Toshiba directly.

  However, I studied a bit here in the forum and found this thread:

  and this one

  It seems that there is no official information, but the user henrivdw has updated the A30 (similar to A40) with 80 GB HARD drive successfully.

• Satellite A135 - new installation of HARD drive "windows cannot be configured.

  I have a portable Satellite A135-S4467 with a hard drive failed (WD 160 GB).
  I bought a new hard drive (WD 320 GB).
  When I try to install windows vista (32 bit) on the new hard drive by using the original factory software installation CD toshiba, I get the following error message:
  "windows cannot be configured to run on this computer hardware.

  After reboot, Windows will start normally or in safe mode.
  I updated the BIOS to version 1.9.
  I tried also to install the updated RAID/AHCI drivers of intel to the windows installation, as recommended by the windows forums - I always get the same error message, even after several attempts to completely reinstall windows.

  Several forums, I searched for recommended to change the settings of the HDD (RAID COSM) in the BIOS.
  I don't know how / if to do this. When I enter the BIOS, I see the hard drive, but I can't select it, so I couldn't try it.

  It seems that I've tried everything, without success. I took care to unplug all external/etc devices during the installation as well. I also did all the drivers are for vista 32 bit.

  Help, please!

  Have you tried to install the OS using the Microsoft installation disc?
  There may be a compatibility problem with your new HARD drive.

  Do you get a place another HARD disk capacity not more than 200GB and test it?

• Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

  All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

  It will be OK for my laptop?

  Hello!

  As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

  The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

• Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

  I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

  It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

  Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

  Thank you

  Enzo

  Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

  Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

  THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

  Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!

  Thank you!

• 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

  First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

  OK, my wind is done, for now.

  I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

  After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

  So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

  So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

  Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

  My questions are:

  1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

  2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

  I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

  Thanks in advance

• Can not activate CS4 Web Premium after the upgrade Hard Drive Mac OS x 11.3

  I can't access any program now CS4 after upgrade my hard drive to an SSD. I get a small dialog box saying "license for this product has stopped working. Error code 150:30"MacBook Pro, OS X 11.3 (el Capitan). The chat tech support person told me that CS4 is "not compatible" with El Capitan, but I've been using Cs4 for several months now with El Capitan, so it's not true.

  In the past, when I've got a new Mac or upgraded the operating system, I had the opportunity in an Adobe dialog to enter my serial number in, but this is not the case now.

  Nothing has changed since this morning except my newly upgraded hard drive. Except that this time I don't have a way to enter my serial number and reactivate.

  Can anyone help?

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite P100-332: Upgrade HARD drive and 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum...
  Well, I want to change 2 things on my Toshiba Satellite P100-332

  1. I have 2 GB of RAM at 533 mhz and I saw on Everest, as well as on the information that I put up. 4 GB RAM 667 mhz. If I want to ask if theres no limitation about to use a special brand of RAM? Or can I use any laptop RAM to 667 mhz? I buy 2 DIMM 2 GB 667, to stay with 4 GB RAM 667 mhz.

  2 - my laptop came with a 4200 RPM ATA hard drive and I want to know if I can change my hard drive to another as one with 7200 RPM SATA as a http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=7434 and I have not seen yet if the Board supports, but does anyone know if I can put one like this?

  Hello

  (1) the Satellite P100-332 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB and you can also use the modules of 667 Mhz because AFAIK the FSB supports 667 MHz also.
  But the fact is that Windows 32-bit (Vista and XP) would see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  (2) the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this is why you must use a SATA HDD. But usually it s no matter if the HDD SATA supports the 7200 RPM. In my opinion, you should be able to use these 7200 RPM HARD drive.

• Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hi all...
  I would like to ask something...

  I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

  I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

  My questions are the following:

  (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
  I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

  (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

  (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
  May I take in an informal shop, too?

  (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
  Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

  Thank you in advance...

  Hey Buddy

  It is good that ask you the question.

  (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

  (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

  (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

  (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
  Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

  Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
  The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
  So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
  Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

  Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
  I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

  Hello

  I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
  I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

  Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
