  As I know, the biggest that drive was delivered with this machine was a 120 GB SATA drive.

  Regarding the manufacturer: do not hesitate to take all the manufacturers that you like. The best would be Toshiba at all ;)

• 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 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 P100-160: 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.

• Satellite 1900-102: Question about upgrade hard drive

  I tried for awhile get a new hard drive for my 102 S1900. I think I found one, but don't know if it will fit. The person told me that it fits in a Toshiba but that was all. It's a 80 GB 2.5 "9 mm 4200 RPM IDE laptop hard drive. Will this work in my model? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  the problem here is not if the HARD drive will fit in the notebook or not (BTW it will be).
  The problem is if the BIOS can recognize hard drives with this ability. And I think that it is not.
  But maybe there is a new version of the BIOS available.
  Sorry I don't have the info to say more clearly.

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  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

• Equium A100-147: Question about upgrade graphic

  I am about to open my A100 to deposit into a new Core 2 Duo, but what I also want to know, is this model has the ability to take a graphics card.
  Also the toshiba offer this model with a better GPU than the GMA950 graphics?

  There is no buy for the game, but I could update if possible.

  Please do not post here to tell me that this model is not for games I am very aware of this fact already.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

  Lee

  I presume you didn't search in this forum some similar thread on the graph and the replacement of the CPU. Am I wrong?

  I would recommend doing this because then you will find useful information on the graphics card upgrade and finally a statement the GPU upgrade is not possible.

  In addition, you will find a lot of discussions and advice that it s not recommended to disassemble the laptop and to upgrade the processor

• Equium A100 - 02L: Question about upgrade memory to 4 GB

  Hello.

  The time has come to upgrade my laptop, but I don't know how to get the full 4 GB of RAM in it.

  Toshibas page for this computer says I have 4 GB, but also that its two memory locations only consist with maximum 1024 MB card. Is the only feasible supplement by vista ready boost or something?

  The vehicle currently has two 512 MB 667 mhz pc5300' cards inside.

  Please help me... I am looking to order these items very soon and I don't want to buy something that does not work.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the info you can increase the RAM to 4 GB. You have to buy 2 X 2 GB RAM modules.
  So now the question is what OS you use, because 32-bit Vista recognize 3 GB only.

• Satellite P200-1BA - questions about the HARD drive RAM upgrade

  There is a 2nd internal HARD drive Bay, but not a female connector. Can I install it? How?
  There are 2 slots for RAM, all together 2 GB. Is it possible to exit an and instead place a token 2 GB to 3 GB total or should I always double channel pair RAM?

  It is not possible to install the second HARD drive. The laptop box is universal for all models P200, but some of them are delivered with 2 drives hard HDD upgrade is not possible.

  With the RAM modules, you can do what you want. To be more precise, YES! You can remove a 1 GB module and put 2 GB RAM. Please just use high quality Rams and not some products without name at low cost.

• Equium P300-190 - Question about upgrading the processor

  Hello

  I just have a question for my CPU PC Toshiba laptop, I have a can of Equium P300-190 full to give model number if necessary the cpu is one supplied with the laptop.

  My question is I want to upgrade the processor but do not know which would be the best option and there are limits with the BIOS, etc. on board.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Probably it is not known to you that upgrading the CPU is not officially supported by the manufacturers of portable.

  The CPU upgrade is a tricky thing... the fact is that the CPU must be supported by chipset and BIOS.
  Where a party would not support the new processor, the unit will not light.

  So even if you use a CPU that is supported by the chipset (Intel GM965) there is a risk that the BIOS could not support the new processor...

  The laptop was equipped with processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor T2390 (Merom code name) probably the other CPU Intel Pentium Dual-Core family-owned would be compatible, but to be honest, you won't see a performance improvement...

  So in my opinion it is not worth trying to upgrade the processor...

  In my opinion, you need to replace the HARD drive with an SSD... in that case you will get the performance improvement...

• Equium A100 - 306 Question on upgrade Vista ModusLink

  Hello

  I bought an Equium A100-306 in November before deploying operations that I'm in the forces and could not be updated before that.

  I just go and discovered that I can't have my Vista upgrade I missed the deadline. I ModusLink E-mail unanswered. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or that you could help me solve this problem.

  I think that I should not miss out on the free update due to circumstances beyond my control. Looking through the documentation I received with my laptop there was no deadline, said that it is only on the internet, the date limit is clearly but I was unable to verify this.

  Thanks for any help.
  Greg

  Hi Greg

  What to say. The overall programme is controlled by the ModusLink Corporation and any misunderstanding, you must try to clarify with them. I think that the end of March was the deadline for the Vista upgrade program.

  Sorry, but you are alone and try to talk with them about the situation as a whole.
