Equium A60 - Max HARD drive?

Hey, forum noob here.

I know this has been asked before (see [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=119435𝊋], [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=81428𓸔] and [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=136793𡙙]), but I have yet to see a definitive answer, so...

What is the biggest HARD drive I can put in an Equium A60? Anyone know?

(Processor is Celeron 2.8 GHz;) Current BIOS is version 1.8 c).

NB. this a 2nd or 3rd hand reconditioned machine. The insignia on the bottom says "TOSHIBA EQUIUM A60 PSA67E-00300C8J" but SystemInformationForWindows tells me that it is a Satellite A60. So maybe someone has used a disc re - install from a Satellite A60 at some point. I don't have if this is important - I mention this it just in case...

TIA. Any help would be appreciated.

Just if someone has tested, it can offer a definitive answer. Of course, nobody has played with such things but let's be realistic.
Equium A60 comes with IDE ATA 6 HDD SATA not. AFAIK these HDDs have limit on 136 GB or something like that. So I think that you can use all the disk up to 130 GB.
In my opinion, you can use maximum 120 GB IDE ATA HDD. I'm not 100% sure, but if you use the more big HARD drive is more than 136 GB will not be recognized.

So much about the theory. ;)
I just hope someone can confirm or deny my theory on HDD max.

Bye and good luck!

  • Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

    Hello

    I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
    After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

    At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

    Any help much appreciated

    I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
    To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

    Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
    By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

  • Re: Equium A200-1VO hard drive upgrade

    Hello there, I am hoping that there is someone out there who could give me a little advice!

    I have a laptop Equium A200-1VO, but unfortunately I need to replace the hard drive. He currently holds a 120 GB drive, but I wonder if the laptop could face if I replaced it with a capacity of 500 GB? Otherwise, 350GB?

    I hope you can help!

    Sincere greetings,

    Rich

    I agree with Akuma. Satellite A200 can manage with drives of 250 GB and more.

    Y at - it a manufacturer Toshiba recommends that I should look for when buying a new Sata Drive?

    Thank you

    Hi drik123,

    No, there are no special manufacturing activity that you need to buy or are compatible with the laptop. Each 2.5 HDD with SATA connector works and is compatible.

    Also there is capacity limit on interface SATA so 500 GB or more will also work and recognized. :)

  • Re: Equium A200-1V0: hard drives

    Can someone tell me if there is a simple way to "bind" the two hard drives so that when the "C" drive fills up the brain of the laptop starts automatically data dumping in the drive "E"?

    In my opinion these things (if possible) should be controlled by software and operating system itself.
    So it's the right question for Microsoft and I don't think that the laptop manufacturers have something to do with it.

    Have you tried to find something on the forums Microsoft OS?

  • Equium L40 - 10Z hard drive click on stronger than habit/expected

    Is a hard drive stronger by clicking on a fault? It's not weird scraping noises or anything like that, just the regular clicks, but they are stronger that I'm used to! I would say a good 2 - 3 times stronger than my old laptop. I should talk with the store (I bought only yesterday) or it is part of the design? Thank you.

    Hi Adam

    I m 3 notebooks different owner by clicking similar appears on one of my notebooks.
    It of certainly one from HARD drive, it seems for a year, but the HARD drive and the laptop works properly without any escapes

    But I have already noticed a head-crash HARD drive on my other computer. So you should be careful
    Don t forget to backup your important data, because this could be a beginning of the end of the HDD notebooks!

  • Equium A200 - 15l - hard drive almost full Vista, what now?

    On my hard drive of laptop theres 2.
    C; Vista and E; Data.
    My Vista drive is almost full so what do I do now?
    I thought that once the Vista was full disk of data take longer, but no.

    Advice please.

    Hello.

    You can do this:

    1. disk cleanup
    2 turn off the system restore
    3. create a new hard driver small, extracted from your data disc, for swap space. Leave the C drive for the new driver swap space. If you have 2 GB of memory, you can find, it is useful to create a hard drive to third with 4 GB of swap space, or windows will use the drive space it.
    4 format your hard drive and perform a new installation. You don't like it I guess :)

    Good luck.

  • Equium U400-145 - HARD drive not detected during XP installation

    I am trying to install XP on a new HDD on my Equim U400-145.

    However, during the installation of XP it says that the installation program "found no hard drives installed on your computer.

    The HARD drive is seen in BIOS and I checked in another system, and it works fine.

    Anyone can shed some light?

    Before installing Windows XP, you need the Intel Storage Manager. All other drivers and tools, you need only after installation.

    I think that you should only read hundreds of discussions here in the forum and check this Toshiba of the area of the FAQ document:

    You need to include the SATA drivers which is part of the Intel storage Manger.

  • Equium A60-191: which driver should I solve software problems

    Updates MicroSoft screwed up my OS and I had to get it reinstalled. When it has been reinstalled, I had to reinstall XP as I had no BONES at all. This means that has been reinstalled XP with SP2. Other nearby things I lost all the registry entries for the software on the laptop - despite the fact that the HD has not been deleted data or programs. Although my data are listed under other 'user '.

    A number of drivers have been "lost" and I don't have Toshiba recovery disc (s). That's why I was download the 'obvious' drivers missing. However, some things do not - work as no notification of the battery status in the system tray.

    Neither the Fn keys working.

    It has been suggested that some of the things Toshiba must be downloaded before SP2... If so, how can I sort this problem please?

    It is not clear what drivers on the drivers Equium page are those which are necessary and in some cases, an insufficient description is given: for those of us who are not wise wordly on computers. So unless I can tell that something is missing for example I discovered with my modem - I don't know what I need and what I don't.

    If anybody out there can help with suggestions for what software/drivers, that I need to fix this box or how to get around the order of driver download problems, I would be very grateful.

    Thanks for looking

    Hello

    I just recommend to install ATI Chipset + Display Driver V6.14.10.6430 as a first step, before you start to install the other stuff listed. As written Jasmine make sure that you have installed all the Toshiba designed the tools and utilities in the correct order. I think that all the FN functions will not work correctly.
