  My HARD drive is somehow broken :( What hard drives are compatible for a Satellite L300-1AP so that I can something eBay?

  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.

• Equium - hard drive makes clicking noises

  Hello, can someone please help?

  I think my laptop is in trouble, the hard disk (or I think it's the hard drive) is do a lot of clicking noises and my battery life is running down when the adapter is connected. It seems that run down when the drive made those rattling. When the power mode is energy-saving sometimes stops clicking and the battery life fills up again, but recently its been doing even in power saving mode.

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  How to help you without knowing your model mobile exact?

  Generally if the HARD drive makes clicking noises it s time to replace. Backup to an external drive has been a very good idea.

  And how you can lose the life of the battery if the AC adapter is plugged? I put t understand it.

• hard drive makes grinding noise

  Hello everyone. I have a brand new (3 days) Hp Envy curved 34-A010 A10 PC. I transferred games, etc from my old computer and now the hard drive makes a grinding sound. Anyone know why and what I can do to prevent it? Thank you!!

  Stella, welcome to the forum.

  What a great computer!  I'm jealous.

  I'm sorry to hear about your problem.  I suggest you to contact the vendor for assistance.  They should fix it without any problem.  If you bought through HP Store, you must contact the HP Customer Service.  You should not have problems with a 3 day old computer.  It will only get worse.

  Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

  Almost certainly an indication that a disc is a failure and should be
  replaced as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

  1. open the case and disconnect the power cables of all readers but
  C:, then run the computer for awhile. If we click, it is C: this is
  dying.

  2. then plug the power cable into a different drive and run it
  computer for a while. If you click on, it's that you reconnected
  who is dying.

  3, number 2 twice more if necessary to repeat.

• Qosmio E10 is slow and HARD drive makes noise constantly

  Hi people

  I also have a toshiba qosmio e10 notebook. I had problems with it as well lately.

  First it started with a slow start, and then at some point I started having error messeges.
  When I called the toshiba Helpline advises him to do a check disk. I did this and the problem is still involved.

  Now also the hard drive constantly makes noise, but once the computer was successfully loaded its usually very well, it's just starting. A similar thing experience?
  What is the best thing to do?

  I'm thinking of replacin the hard drive.
  Any help will be appreciated. thanx

  Hello

  The check disk (HARD drive) will not solve all problems, but this tool report some errors and problems with the HARD disk.
  You sounds description as a HARD disk failure.
  Maybe it's a beginning of the end of s.

  Several months ago I noticed something similar on my laptop.
  Two days after my 3 years old HDD was dead. It was just a head crash.

  Take my advice and backup of your data

• A Mac HARD drive can be reformatted in Satellite Pro?

  This follows my first post: "Ability to the Maximum for Pro A120 hard drive?"

  In regards to a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSAC1E-04H00VEN that has no hard drive:

  Could I install a HDD 60 GB that came out a Macbook and reformat using the Toshiba restore disk?

  Hi Lapitup,

  Is this HARD you want to install also have SATA interface? If so, it should be no problem to install this Satellite Pro A120 HARD drive.

  But try it and don t ask. Either it works or not ;)

  Hello

  AFAIK removed some covers if you want to change the HARD drive. Sorry, I don t find any detailed instruction how to replace the hard drive. I recommend you ask the service partner for details.

• Can I add a hard drive on the U840T-108 Satellite?

  Hello
  I bought a Toshiba Satellite U840T-108 and I had not noticed that there was a 128 GB SSD drive. I would like to add 1 to or 500 GB Sata hard drive.
  Is this possible? T Y is the room in the computer?
  Thank you
  PS: I'm French so excuse me if I speak little English.

  I can see in paper manuals s user that your machine is not the cover of HARD drive on the lower side, so for an upgrade low cover has to be removed and it must be done by the only authorized service.
  If you try to do this alone you will lose warranty valid.

  In my opinion, you have to call the nearest provider of Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for advice. Guaranteed valid is very important to not do something on your own.

  Either way, I think your machine has connector disk HARD vacuum placed near the ventilation of cooling. I m not 100% sure all of this, but you can check with the technicians.

• The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

  I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

  I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

  Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

  What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

  By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

• What size of HARD drive is compatible with my Satellite A100-771

  Hey guys,.

  is there a size limit of HDD for my A100-771?
  And what type of HARD drive I need? IDE or SATA?

  Thank you very much.
  Eathen.

  Hi dude

  From my experience, the Satellite A100 series was equipped with SATA drives.

  There should be a SATA HDD controller and you can use SATA 2.5 hard drives.

  I think that there isn t disc HARD size limit since the SATA controller is not limited to all special HARD drive sizes

  I think that most SATA HDD must be compatible

  Greetings

• Hard drive makes a THUMP on my laptop! Help!

  Hello

  I've owned my hp envy 17 laptop for almost 2 years now. Recently, my computer makes a noise very loud and it seems that it is working much harder it must be. I suspect the fan or the hard drive is the culprit, but I convinced myself that it's the hard drive.

  When I start my computer the noise starts almost immediately after the start. This noise sounds like the computer works hard as he possibly can, almost making a grinding noise. Even though the computer has booted, this noise continues for another minute or two before it stops, then my laptop gets quiet. What intrigues me and leads me to believe that it's the hard drive, are the fact that my computer become excessively hot when the noise occurs; He never used to do that before.

  This is not what confuses and annoys me the most, is the sound to reproduce again. This is something that I never heard before. My laptop for some reason, when it is moved or moved, even the slightest, begin to "rev" and the hard drive roared; It does this for about five minutes. It is also when the laptop is closed and "sleep" mode the slightest bump it allows off as a baby. I suspect that there is a switch, Rabat, or a thread which is not fixed correctly and when moved it off the hard drive.

  I found a few small solutions to this problem. The main thing I do when the sound occurs is I close the lid of the laptop that puts it in standby mode and turns off the hard disk, it silenced for the moment. This solution, I stumbled on by chance; I turned my laptop on the side when the noise occurs and the sound stops until I put the laptop in a vertical position again (the laptop is open).

  I would like to know your opinion on it, a solution you could of met or any explanation of the cause; also explain all costs. Partially, I opened my laptop and it seems in order to me with the dust to a minimum. I would rather check online for a solution first before importing it to a computer repair shop which I'm ready to do as a last resort.

  Sincerely,

  Greg

  Hey no rush. Follow this video:

  Remove the Panel in the shape of T a great service. With the battery down to you, the hard drive on the left is a second HDD for storage only. Follow the instructions. Be careful with the place where the cable connects. Remove the drive (on the left). Leave the main drive on the right. Replace the cover of the service on. Start the laptop and run and see if the noise is gone.

• Can I use HARD drive of 160 GB on Satellite M70-159?

  Is it possible to upgrade disk HARD Sat.M70 - 159 up to 160 GB (SATA)?

  Hello???

  Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject, but I assume that 120 GB should work on this laptop. I hope that someone here will be able to give more information. I have exactly the same model laptop but make sure you didn't upgrade the HARD drive.

  If you have success with 120 or 160 GB drive HARD please let me know. Maybe I have will modernize my HARD drive also.
