• Portege M300: Is the protection of HARD drive only for the brand of Toshiba drives?

  I am trying to upgrade my Portege M300 with a hard drive bigger, as seen on the Portege forum, I posted the thread after that two hard drives from samsung does not similarly, shortly after the installation of the new.

  I just want to know if the protection of Toshiba HARD drive utility is simply made for Toshiba hdd or if it can work on any other brands of hard drives of brand. As I say, I want to upgrade a 60 GB to 160 GB and 2 new hard drive failed. I've since updated my bios to the latest version and I also consider not to install this hard drive protection feature, just in case where it will cause problems once more with my 3rd HDD replacement of same nature.

  I appreciate any thoughts on this.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Usually it s any manufacturer is.
  If the HARD disk supports the CHIP so it should be possible to use this HARD drive.
  The HARD disk protection tool verifies the parameters of the HARD disk.
  But the settings are configured by HDD manufacture then it might be possible that the HARD disk will not work if the tool would not choose the settings correctly.

• Portege M300 - question: How can I format the HARD drive?

  Hello

  I saw Toshiba Portege M300 and try to format my laptop. When I try to use the CD to boot (DVD release) at the start, but I have the "CD/DVD" option, it s not poster not options 'formatting of disks', instead it goes to the login window. I have windows XP OS in my laptop.

  I don't know why this problem is coming. Please let me know the possibility of fixing this issue, or the option in the form of my laptop without recovery DVD.

  Thanks in advance for your time and reply.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Maybe the internal CD/DVD drive cannot handle the recovery disc
  There are several reasons for this issue could be a dirty laser or lens something wrong with the disc of recovery or other reason

  You are able to start using other bootable discs like original CD bootable CD in MS Windows or linux?

  You could this workaround is short:
  Copy the recovery CD (burn on another CD) and then try to start the laptop using the recovery disc copied.

  Maybe it will work

• Portege M300 fails to recognize HARD drive

  Last week, I replaced the hard drive on my laptop Toshiba Portege M300 to a larger drive. It worked very well for a coupe of days, but when I tried to plug in the hard drive of origin back in (to copy data on a network share, which I forgot to transfer to the new hard drive) he does not see the drive. I tried to set the new drive and he can't see it either.

  I tested the original and new hard drive on a different laptop and they work so I can't guess the willing Portege of a faulty ide controller or the ide cable. No matter which hard drive, I am attaching the trys to laptop to boot from the CD-ROM, ignores the hard drive and the NIC PXE trys. The bios indicates also theres no hard disk attached too.

  First of all, if the CD-ROM drive still work am I right in thinking the ide controller is still work?

  Secondly could someone suggest where I can buy an ide for a M300 cable because it is a ribbion printed circuit board which I have never seen elsewhere. I guess this is part of Toshiba custom?

  Hello

  I believe also that it is Toshiba custom component and it will be much better in the service partner contact in your country. AFAIK this Portege is very nice and expensive unit and you should not do it alone. If you have a hardware problem allow technicians to do it for you. Small mistake and you can just have big problem.

  Are you sure that you did not damage something?

• Portege M300 - replacement of HARD drive failed

  Dear all,

  I have a Portege M300 I bought around 3 or 4 years and I am very happy with and without any problems. The laptop came originally with a 60GB and I wanted to upgrade to one with greater capacity, a 160 GB! My laptop is about 1.2 GB of Ram and runs on windows XP SP3.

  I recently bought a Samsung HD-160 (160GB) which should be compatible with my laptop. After installing from scratch and used for about 2 weeks, the computer suddenly stopped. HARD drive stopped spinning and a #0 ERROR came when I tried to restart. There was NO WAY to drive HARD turn again so I contacted Samsung and they replace. The HARD drive has a slight smell of burnt component but very light.
  I replaced the HDD failed with a 2nd replacement and to my disbelief, the SAME THING happened again just after 3 hours of use! I contacted Samsung and once more they will send replace me, with the same type of hard disk. I tried to get explanations of Toshiba and Samsung for why this happens, but so far I have no explanation.
  Without hesitation, I gave my original 60 GB Toshiba drive who was thankfully still my documents and the laptop is happy again touch wood.

  What I am doing wrong? can someone help me please go to the bottom of this so I do not experience the same problem with my 3rd replacement? I wish I had a bigger hard drive on my laptop and I think all of them must be compatible. I buy one that should be compatible with my Portege M300. Both are valued at 5 v

  I have to add to what has just occurred to me now that I have installed all the Toshiba original programs too on my Samsung HDD out of Windows XP, including the utility that protects the disk in case of Vibrations. This could be the problem by any chance? This utility only for Toshiba's brand HARD drive? Any ideas or other suggestions on this issue please?

  Thank you very much for your attention.

  Portege M300 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should be careful with these upgrades.
  According to specification for laptop, your laptop can handle with 100 GB hard drives, but I'm sure you can use 120 GB as well.

  Then maybe you should try to upgrade the disk with 120 GB of HARD drive to see if everything will be OK. I think also 120 GB is enough and you have enough free space for the data backup.
  What do you think about this?

• Portege M300 (PPM30A) - lost access to HARD drive recovery

  Portege M300 model PPM30A-02E001.
  At some point during the installation a Sony camera I lost access to my hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) where I can make the recovery disks.

  I can see it in disk management tools, but the link is missing.

  Is there a way I can make the link? "Brand recovery disc" icon is gone as well.

  Please, I beg you.

  Hello

  Wait a moment, please: why you write about on the hidden partition HARD drive recovery? I think you mixed up something!
  On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition, but it has nothing to do with the option HDDrecovery from Toshiba. This on the hidden partition is a feature of Windows, also called Windows recovery environment!

  Normally HDDrecovery files are stored on the second partition in a file of the same name. Can you access the second partition?

  If this isn't the case, I think the only chance is to order a new recovery disk. Therefore, you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

• Need for guidance how to create a recovery on Portege M300 CD

  Hello. I really want to create a disc of recovery for my Portege M300 and know I have to do it via Toshiba Assist but really need a step by step idiots guide to know exactly what to do. I tried to put a CD to write but it rejects it-if I have to use floppy disks he will not take the charges or have I missed something.

  Oh dear - you get the idea that I am a complete numpty and need a guide very clear step by step as to exactly what I need to do. I have had problems in the past and had need of these disks and so hated to do anything on this laptop until I have the appropriate recovery disks.

  Thank you in advance.
  Rachel

  I put t know what is the problem.
  Go with Toshiba and select the Protect & Fix tab.
  You will find the option recovery disk creator

  So if you want to recovery and tools & utility CD you must mark.
  (When you use the CD it of necessary to use the CD with storage capacity of 80 min 700MB)

  After selecting the recovery CD or DVD and product, you simply have to burn the media.

  Only his.

• Change the drive letter of the drive of CD on Portege M300

  I have a Portege M300, 40 GB, Windows XP.
  I have just repartioned my hard drive with Norton Partition Magic.
  The result is OK: I have now two drives, the two 20 GB. That one thing is not as I expected. Still, the DVD player, is recognized as D: and the new partition got E: location.

  It's just 'a beauty problem', but if I want to spend it, is this possible and how?
