• Can satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) - I add a second HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 k (PSAJ4E) and my question is, can I add second HARD drive? Now, I have a HARD inside drive, Hitachi 250 GB, 5400 RPM. is there a place for the second HARD drive?

  I want to buy some 2.5 in 7200 RPM, thx in advance.

  Hello

  Check the bottom of the unit.
  There should be a second HARD drive Bay.
  If the second HARD drive bay contains the pins of the connector HDD/then you could add a second HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  If the connector is not available, then the second HDD is not possible.

  See you soon

• Can satellite A30 - I install a larger HARD drive?

  I thought I had taken care with boards and pieces of kit. but after the reconstruction of my A30 (having the replaced DC Jack), he comes up with the following messages:

  * SMART failure provided on hard disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM) *.
  * WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent.*
  * Press F1 to continue. *

  I tried winding connector to HARD drive decision-making, which seems OK.

  So start thinking I killed this disk somehow. If Yes, can I install a larger drive, say 80 or even 160 GB and should I look for a magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I'm looking.

  Thank you. Robin

  Hello!

  If you delete the old HDD, you can see if an IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with an IDE HDD.

  You can use a larger HARD drive. This should not be a problem, but as far as I know this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that the disc size limit is 128GB and so you can use a 120 GB HARD drive.
  If you want to learn more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com

  So, you can buy a 120 GB HARD drive or an 80 GB HARD drive as you suggest. I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  In any case, I think that it s a good idea to exchange the HARD drive. SMART error message appears as if there is something wrong with the HARD drive to back up your data as quickly as possible. ;)

• Satellite Pro P100: How to recover BONES after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a satellite Pro P100, and I want to change my hard drive
  I have the CD restored, but I think that this will not work with a new hard drive!
  What can I do to recover my windows?

  Sorry for my englich!

  Thank you

  Hey Phillipe,

  Your recovery CD works on what hard drive install you in your laptop. Are the only factors affecting the hard disk of your choice: -.

  1. compatibility of the BIOS (should not be a problem with the P100 model)
  This model mainly old laptop impact where the BIOS could not recognize larger drives.

  2 form factor
  You should make sure that the disc you choose has the same physical dimensions as your
  existing drive.

  3 speed
  Disks hard more quickly improve access times so check out 5400 and 7200 RPM. (there may be a problem
  with the generation of heat so 5400 RPM is probably better than 7200)

  The are no problem with Windows licenses as the license applies to the operating system itself and not on the hard disk on which it is installed.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  Hi all.
  New here.

  Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

  Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

  Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
  If so, what is the limit?

  Thank you and best regards.

  Mike

  Hello!

  Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

  In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

• Satellite 2800 - BIOS does not recogize Toshiba 40 GB HARD drive

  I have an old Toshiba S2800 (if-200 questions in total). He was works very well with a 10 GB HARD drive for ages. Yesterday, I thought that putting his hard drive to a bigger.
  Removed the old and installed a new hard drive, Toshiba MK4026GAX. On the power on the BIOS does not detect the HARD drive at all. I can hear the humming noise (platter (s) rotating), but apart from that, there is nothing. The BIOS indicates disk mode HARD is "unused" and also on page 2 is none shown on the primary hard disk IDE channel. (tried to boot Linux from a CD to see if who sees anything on the IDE channel, but apparently the primary IDE channel is disabled if the BIOS does not detect a master or a slave connected device). Change the mode of the master to the slave na HARD drive? t change a thing.
  The BIOS version is 2.00. Tried to find an older one without success.

  I thought that the BIOS has a limit of 32GB, but when I connect a 120 GB hard drive (WD scorpio), it has been recognized by the BIOS and the PC was ready to boot from the device.

  I would have thought computers laptop Toshiba were at least compatible with another device (e.g. hard drive) Toshiba

  Someone has any idea how to operate?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  It of very strange that the 120 GB HDD has worked on your old Satellite 2800 unit.
  I know that the BIOS would not recognize these large HARD drive sizes.

  In any case, seems the purchased disk is not compatible with your laptop and you can buy one that is supported.
  I discovered that the 20 GB HDD MK2016GAP could be compatible

• Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

  PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
  Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

  I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

• Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

  I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
  I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
  The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

  Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
  The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

  My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

  Hello

  It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
  Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

  So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

  Greetings

• Can I fix Windows XP Home edition instead of reformatting hard drive?

  Hi there, my girlfriends A100 laptop has developed a fault where it gets loading up xp (xp with the blue loading bar loading screen) then back to the option screen giving options such as the safe mode with network, invites order and last known configuration. None of these work. I have not changed any hardware or installed software recently. I have a disc of toshoba product recovery, what I would like to know is it give me the option to repair of xp and I like to keep my personal files or it will completely erase my hard drive for a new installation?

  I used this disc today but got so far but did not select the option of recovery in the case where this removes the hard drive. This could not have come at a worse time, I spent yesterday reformat my external hard drive, so the only place where are our precious files on the laptop! If I can't repair xp I might have to buy a hard drive adapter 2.5 inch computer notebook to a desktop pc to access my files. Any help would be very very useful!

  PS: apologies if there any obvious mistakes, Im using my wii to write this and his age!

  Recovery time WILL erase the HARD drive. You should back up your files first.

  You have a few options:

  1) boot from a generic XP Installation CD and choose repair Windows. This may not work, the problem may be caused by anything whatsoever.

  2) boot from a Live CD Linux such as Knoppix (or BartPE XP-based) and copy your important files to the c: (Windows partition) on a USB key.

  (3) remove the laptop HARD drive and attach it to another PC using a USB 2.5 "HDD SATA Adapter (they are cheap), then copy the important files and then run the recovery.

  (4) attach the computer portable HARD drive directly on a desktop PC motherboard. The desktop PC must be equipped with SATA connectors. connectors SATA 2.5 "and 3.5" are the same.

• How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

  Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

  Keep all image files both places?

  What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

  Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

  As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

  As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

  Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.
