Can satellite A300 - 15 M - I install a second HDD?
Hello.
I have a SatelliteA300 - 15M. 2 years ago, I bought the laptop. I have the 250 GB hard drive that came with the laptop. Recently, I received my laptop in service of the local store. I noticed that there was an additional location to another hard drive. I saw a post that some of A300/A305 laptops have room for a second hard drive, but not the connectors.
If someone has A300 - 15 M can they please tell me if I can install a second internal hard drive in my model? Is there a safe way to find if I can install a second hard drive?
Hello
> but no connectors.
If the case is clear: If you don t have a second SATA connector, you can install a second HDD of the t.
Also check the forum on these issues. The point is that a notebook series (e.g. Satellite A300) is always equipped with the same case, but the material is different. So not all models have the same features. ;)

Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?
Hello
I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.
Thank you
PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well
Hey,.
If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.
As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

> How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!
With regard to the sound:
As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.

How can satellite A300-1NO - I record sounds?
Hello. I have a Satellite A300 1NO machine, but I don't know how to put my sound card, because I want to record all the sounds that play my sound card. For example, listen to internet radio, and record a track of her.
I cannot set my microphone to record it and can't see any more. WaveOut or something else... How could I solve this problem? I have the 6.0.1.5599 of its driver.
Hello
If you want to record the sound that plays the sound card, you need another program. So it is not possible to record sound only with the audio driver.
There are many programs that can do this. I have good experiences with no. 23 Recorder. Use Google to find out. Its freeware and easy to use.
In addition, there are some programs that streams internet radio, and save as. But I n t use such a program, but Google can help you find one.Welcome them

Last week, I received my Toshiba Satellite A300-14R it al seems to work, but by installing or using a heavy application, the frozed just for laptop and I had to reset the computer. This happened a lot, then Saturday night, I installed Winrar or something while I was listening to music and it happened again, but I could not always reset the laptop so I took out the battery and the laptop could not resume. So I decided to send it to the dealer, he gave me a new.
So, today, I received the new book, began installing new things and the forzed of the screen. I realized a picture with my phone to show what is happening on the screen.

What should I do? I've updated everything in Vista.
Sorry buddy but you're laptop computer real destroyer. ;)
Of course, it's just a joke!Stand by. Such screen appears from the first second when you start your laptop?
What happens if you install Vista using F8 and repair my computer in advanced startup parameters?
The same thing again?Anyway, bring it back and ask for Exchange. This certainly isn't normal behavior.

Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - how to install a second HDD?
Hello
I would like to install a second hard drive to my Satellite Pro P300-1F1.
I would like to know if I need a "cellar" special to set the hard drive inside the Bay? Where could I get such a thing in Germany (near Cologne)?
On the inside of the drive Bay cover HARD are four plastic pins that are so long that it is impossible to close the cover when a hard drive is built in.
What I have to just shorten or do I need a new cover or pins work like a kind of attachment?Thank you very much for your help!
Is there a connector from the HARD drive in the second span?
If this isn't the case, then you can not install a HARD drive in any case. The second span is because he shares a common design with models that have a second HDD of the factory.

Satellite A350-122 - how to install the second HARD drive?
Hello
I'm a french owner of an A350-122 (serial no: 39169719K)
In the french of the manual user, page 1-5, it is written that it is possible to insert another disc hard, and on page 2-6, the rear of the A350-122 view shows a second branch on the left for a second hard drive.
So, I bought an SSD Intel X 25-M to put in the second location. I opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata, no power connector connector, only a location empty.
So, what's the problem with this Satellite A350-122?
Thank you for your response.
Hey Buddy,
I agree with the user above. Not all Satellite A350 models support a second HDD. The point is that laptops are country specific products and this feature is not available everywhere. In addition, all models A350 by using the same notebook case in order to have a crack but no connector.
In any case, you can use t a second HDD. :(
