Equium L20: What drives are compatible

Hi people I'm looking for some advice.

I have the Equium L20 for 30 months and would like to put a bigger hard drive in but I'm not sure of what is compatible (installed is Toshiba MK4026GAX 40 GB) I want to put vista and have more space.

I already have 2048 + ddr2 but now I need space and thought, it would be cheaper to do so than to buy a new laptop.

Any help much appreciated

Hello

I read some threads here in this forum on the compatible HARD drive for laptops Satellite Equium L20 and you can certainly use the 60GB, 80 GB SATA hard drives.
The BIOS must recognize without big problems.

Greetings and have a boyfriend of the beautiful day

  • Satellite A50-522: what drives are compatible

    Hello

    I have the following problem, could someone help me thank you
    I have a toshiba satellite a50-522 and the hard drive seems to be dead

    While I was looking to replace.
    So here's the question; Where can I find a list of the compatible HDD with the laptop?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To my knowledge, Toshiba provides official information on hard drives compatible.
    But don t worry buddy. I think I could help a bit.
    Always is that the Satellite A50 was delivered with the 40 GB drive HARD IDE (ATA-6)
    Therefore, you need to use hard drives that support the IDE!
    The SATA drives are not compatible!

    Now a few words about the size of the HARD drive. Laptops BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and not all HARD drive sizes are supported. But I think 60 or 80 GB would be compatible so just testing everything.

    Best regards

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Satellite L300 supports SATA HDD!
    SATA controller having no physical limit, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA. So, for example, a 500 GB 2.5 SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive should be compatible.

  • Age of Empires II - "can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

    Hello

    I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.

    Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?

    Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4350

    I had the above problem with AOEII:Age of the Kings. My brief spec is Windows 7 Ultimate edition (SP1) and a card nVidia 8600 GT. I did the following (make sure you reboot after each installation):

    Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=35

    Download and install the latest version of DirectX:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5264

    Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:

    -Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
    -Disable visual themes
    -Disable the Composition of the Bureau
    -Run this program as an administrator

    One of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A300D-11 what processors are compatible?

    Hello

    I am currently on a Toshiba Satellite A300D 11s with an AMD Athlon TK 57 1900 Mhz CPU.
    Please tell me what processors are compatible with this laptop motherboard, and what would be the best option of upgrade? (performance and heat wise management).

    Thank you.

    Hello

    CPU holders depends on the chipset and in most of the cases of BIOS support.
    As far as I know the laptop A300D-11 supports the chipset AMD M690G (RS690M + SB600 code name) so you can only use AMD processors.
    As far as I know the Mobile Athlon XP - M, Mobile Athlon 64, Turion 64, and Sempron Mobile processors would be compatible with this chipset, but there is always a question open about BIOS support.

    Hello

    Compatible processors for your laptop (and the replacement procedure) is detailed on Page 81 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Given the speed of your current processor, it would look like the first four are Ok - I always recommend to check this with HP first before buying.

    Kind regards

  • Equium L20: What software do I need to put on speakers?

    I recently had to reinstall windows on my Equium L20, and every time I turn it on there is a lot of software, I need for example for speakers and stuff that isn't already on here. It seems stupid, but I inherited this computer from someone else and I don't have any CD, so I would really appreciate someone to tell me what software is needed, what CD it is on (if I can ask the person who has always if they have it), or if there is an additional way to get this software?

    The only disks I have are the recovery disc and the additional software that's WinDVD about that.

    Help!

    Hello

    This notebook should be a little older. Am I wrong?
    There are not a lot of information when I try to google for this model of laptop.
    But I think I found what you are looking for :D

    The motherboard must be compatible with the CPU:

    Mobile Intel Celeron processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, 1.7 GHz, 1.8 GHz
    Processor speed: 1.6 GHz to 1.45V
    The processor bus speed: 133 MHz

    Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M 1.7 GHz processor, 1.8 GHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology
    The processor bus speed: 400 MHz

    But you know, the faster processor will produce more heat and therefore the temperature rises. This could lead to overheating.

  • Equium L20 - Download Driver Toshiba problems

    I had to install a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. Problems with HARD drive and I have no backup discs. No problems with installation. All the Windows updates installed.

    The question that I find now has loading drivers. In the Device Manager I have three drivers with Code 28 (no drivers installed).

    1. video controller
    2. Ethernet controller
    3. s M Bus

    Using the Toshiba Equium L20 downloads drivers I can't install the Intel Chipset which I think will allow other devices to have installed the drivers. The Intel Chipset driver starts to download then gives a message to view the reading gave me on how to install the drivers via a different medium (they say floopy) but I can use CD disc or USB key. Problem is that the jargon is well above my head.

    I can access the internet with a wired connection, but impossible to use the wireless device (i.e. controller driver Ethernet not installed). All of the other driversdownloaded and work via downloads driver Toshiba.

    Can someone tell me how I can get the Chipset Intel driver to install, in secular terms?

    In General, all pilots should be available on [Page Driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

    > 1. Video controller
    > 2. Ethernet controller
    > S M Bus

    1 graphics card driver
    2 driver Lan
    3 chipset (it should be chipset)

    Anyway, post us provider or device Id:
