• Can what larger HARD drive I use on Portege 7200ct?

  Ive got a toshiba portege 7200ct, what is the largest hard drive recognizable by the laptop?
  That I get an insert system disk in drive when I put in a 40 GB drive

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Portege 7200ct seems to be an older unit.
  I googled around and found some info on the delivered HARD drive.
  It seems that the laptop came with a 12 GB of HARD drive.

  ARIN, I think 20 GB HARD drive would work and in my opinion the BIOS does not recognize the larger hard drives.
  But "suck it and see '.
  You know it; You can visit a computer store and test drives. Maybe you are a lucky man and run a larger HARD drive (but I don't)

• When I try to open firefox, it is apparent every time "you want to allow changes to your hard drive.

  Updated Firefox while trying to solve a problem with a brother fax reader update for windows 7, now whenever I go to firefox, it appears, "You want to allow changes to your hard drive" as if she's not finished, so I answer 'yes', is the browser firefox, but if I go out go back in it did the same thing.
  in the pop - up is listed; Leader (x 86) Mozilla firefox\firefox.exe C:\Program
  But when I search, nothing

  Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.

  Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

  In the Compatibility tab, make sure that this level of privilege: "Run this program as an administrator" is not selected.

  You should also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

  If you can't make the changes, then you must start Windows Explorer as an administrator.

• 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. ;)

  Good bye

• How to switch my system on a larger hard drive without having to reinstall the OS and lose my data?

  replace the hard drive

  I'm looking to replace my hard drive but I need all the files it is about it, passing a small hard drive to a larger hard drive. My question is how can I save all the files on the disk and how can I get the operating system on the new hard drive without the original disk

  If your current system does not work, there is no need to bother with data backup, installation of applications and get a Windows XP installation CD (although regular backups are important to do as a general practice).

  Instead, clone your current hard drive to your new hard drive.  All you need is an external hard drive enclosure and disk cloning software.  In addition, once you have made sure that everything works correctly, put the old drive in the external box and use it for backups.

  Some of the cloning apps below are also disk 'images' (e.g. Acronis True Image).  A disk image can be compressed so that, for example 58 GB of data can produce a 40 GB image file.  Some of the apps, and of also can selectively backup specified files.

  The housings of external drives more to connect to a USB port.  Make sure just that buy you one with the good 'form factor' (portable = 2.5 inches, computer desktop/Tower = 3.5 inches) and internal drive connector.  Many but not all speakers can deal with SATA and PATA time.

  This example (for laptops) is not the less expensive external hard drive enclosure, but it's a decent case that can be used with either SATA or IDE (PATA) drives and comes with its own software package of cloning: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

  It is a very good buy for a drive IDE (PATA) Office size: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602

  In general, Newegg is a good place for your search options by looking at the comments by users.

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  Acronis True Image Home
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  XXClone

  Macrium Reflect free

• Tecra S3 - impossible to duplicate the HARD disk of larger HARD drive

  I have a new Toshiba Tecra S3, I bought one a few years ago with a 100gig hdd.
  I'm running out of room and wanted to move to a larger capacity drive.

  I bought a WD 400 GB sata 5400 RPM and the Appricon Easygig 2 cloning software and the USB universal drive adapter.
  My first attempt I used the default settings and cloning went without problem, but the player does not start. I get the blue screen with an error message.

  I tried cloning with accurate corresponding partitions, same result.
  I tried to use the digital software West, the same results.
  I tried the Acronis software with all the different options, the same results.

  Given that my laptop came with the hidden recovery partition I don't have the original Windows XP pro disk, so I borrow one from a friend and tried to use the recovery of windows on the new drive I just cloned and could not find the hard drive at all.

  I suspect it has something to do with the RAID drivers, but I don't what to do at this point if it is.
  I don't want to start from scratch, I want just all what I have on my 100 GB to my 400GB clone.

  Interestingly, I have used the Appricon method on other SATA improvements on other laptops completely successful, but this Toshiba has me out of resources.

  Does anyone out there have a solution to my problem?

  Hello!

  Garret is right to integrate the RAID driver software Acronis.

  Therefore, you should use BartPE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
  Install Bart PE and then copy the drivers RAID PE builder folder PE Builder\drivers\SCSIAdapter
  Create a folder for the drivers, and copy the drivers inside.
  In addition, you need the plug-in for Acronis True Image but I do not know Mr. you should find it on the site Web of PE Builder.

  Then, you can burn a bootable Windows CD. On this CD is also Acronis software and then you can clone it.

  Good bye

• Low storage. Can I install more large hard drive?

  I have a Mac Book Pro, which has a very low storage capacity. I heard that I could have a larger capacity hard drive installed. Who sells it and who does it? Is it very expensive?

  It depends on which of the more than 50 called MacBook Pro computer you have EXACTLY.

• More large hard drive for Compaq Presario CQ56-103SA

  Hello

  I have a Presario, model CQ56 (103SA), the hard drive that I want to upgrade. Is this possible?  As the laptop has Windows 7 preinstalled, how can I do to get re-installed?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Ed434

  The specifications indicate a hard drive of 250 GB. Yes that can be upgraded to a 1.5 to (6 times larger) or somewhere in between. 750 GB is the sweet spot right now or even 1 TB.

  Also, your drive is a model of slow 5400 RPM so I suggest at least upgrade to a 7200 RPM model. This is the model 750 GB 7200 rpm:

  This shows how to replace the hard drive physically:

  If your old drive still works, you can burn recovery DVD in the HP Recovery Manager. If the Windows installation is still OK (no viruses or anything like that) we can show you how it is enough to copy the old drive to the new so that you have all your programs and data. This operation may take some special software and hardware but not expensive. We can also provide a Windows 7 reinstall only disk image, you can recover Windows and then get the pilots and others from this site. There are several options, in other words.

• Satellite P300 - upgrade to larger hard drives and 7200 RPM?

  I have a Satellite P300, model PSPCCA-01W073 (sold in Australia). Machine has two 320 GB of HARD drive. Yes, it's all up to 640 GB. I upgraded to Windows 7 OS and I have dual boot in to Linux Ubuntu.

  My job is editing/processing of multimedia files big and my hard drives are overexploited, so I now I am forced to exchange large files back and fourth with various USB hard drives. If I can replace the existing readers with much larger models, then I will go ahead and do it. .. But at this point, I'm out of my depth!

  I asked the support from Toshiba if P300 supports larger disks but they will not engage all the answers outside the original specifications. They suggest that I should try Toshiba users forum for more help.

  A kind person could tell me if it is possible to run drives 320 GB and the size. Also, I believe that the existing drives are 5400 RPM. My online store parts and pieces of local computer lists a choice between Hitachi, WD, Seagate and Samsung with sizes:

  (2.5 "/ 5400 RPM") 320 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB as well as sizes: (2.5 "/ 7200 rpm") 500 GB, 640 GB and 750 GB.

  So my second question; y at - it no advantage or disadvantage to the superior speed of 7200 RPM.

  TIA, your help should prevent to me yet an another expensive blunder.

  Hello

  Theoretically more big hard drives must be supported and should not be a big problem to use this HARD drive as the SATA controller is not limited to any size.

  Also the use of the faster HARD drive 7200 RPM should not affect the performance of the laptop even if this HARD drive faster produce more heat

  In my opinion you can upgrade to a larger and faster HARD drive

• Satellite A200-1 s 5 - can I use a second HARD drive and RAID?

  Hi all

  Toshiba Satellite A200-1 s 5 is eligible to add a second hard drive? It has RAID controller as much I know - it might help?

  Thank you
  Denis

  If you have a SATA connector in the second HARD drive Bay, you can use a second HDD. Check it!
  Then you can buy each disc HARD what you want with SATA port.

  The Satellite A200 doesn't have a RAID controller.

• Satellite M30-841 - large hard drive not recognized

  HY guys,.

  First of all, I want to say hello, because this is my first post in this forum. Merry Christmas as well!

  I am writing because I bought a 160 GB 2hard disk to replace my old 60 GB. When I troed to install it, I saw that it recognizes just 128 GB which, according to my research, is due to the LBA 48 bit not supported on my laptop (Satellite M30-841).

  I tried to everythingmentioned:
  -J' have flash Bios o update the 1.70 (last available driver toshiba Web site)
  -J' changed the downloaded XP SP3 and I changed the registry to install a key DWORD EnableBigLba.

  However, she still recognizes only 128 GB. I'm losing hope to install the new hard drive. Anyone of you has a suggestion that I should try?

  I realized that I should update the driver of my motherboard, but I don't know where they are, if there is (I don't even know the name of it, despite the use of everest - which shows DMI.

  Am I missing something?

  Thank you very much

  Icemaster

  Look, man.
  The HARD disk controller seems to support the 28-bit LBA.
  The disk controllers HARD supporting the 28-bit LBA address max 128 GB HDD.
  Controllers HDD support 48-bit LBA address bigger hard drives.
  But this is a physical limitation and you will not resolve this update anything.

  In your case, there is nothing to see

• Tecra 8100: Larger hard drive possible

  Hello

  I would like to know what size of the hard drive for a Tecra 8100 can be. The original GB 12.1 broke down and I can't find a disc hard it big/small or large. The current hard disk to the start of the sale to 80 GB, but I am not sure if it will work.

  I don't know what version of BIOS is loaded currently, but I plan to upgrade to the latest version anyway.

  Thank you for your answer!

  Roy van Lamoen

  Hello

  because your computer has a set of chips Intel 82440BX/ZX, you will have some problems of large drives with 80Gig or similar facility. I've heard users here that 40 GB drivers work well, so if 60 GB works - I know Don t. 40Gig has been proven, so if I were you I would buy a 40Gig pladder and update my bios before installing the drive.

  Should work so perfectly. :)

• Need new BIOS for Satellite A30 - 404 to upgrade to a larger HARD drive

  I want to install a new (larger) disk on my Satellite A30-404.
  He says have Bios version 1.80.
  I probably need more recent (since it was purchased in 2003).

  Y at - it a newer version for this machine?

  Hello

  Latest BIOS version can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Currently, the version of the BIOS 1.80 is available and published for the Satellite A30 PSA30E.

  By the way; a more recent BIOS will not help to use a bigger HDD!
  The point is that your laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
  Since the ATA-5 interface supports the 28-bit LBA addresses you should be possible to use Max 128 GB OF HARD DRIVE. I think that this is the maximum size, which is possible.
