Hard drive on the Satellite L300-154 crash

On 28 March, the hard drive in my Toshiba L300 154 failed and wouldn't boot from the partition recovery or recovery disks.

I have installated a new HDD to be identical to the previous (just without the image) and decided to try my Windows 7 disc. I understand perfectly the requirements of Windows 7 and Vista hardware on the laptop, however, after Select preference startup screen would go black and display a PX18 M0F error message (I can't really remember the code exactly) on the device cable/media not been plugged in properly.

Check the connector on the hard drive internally so that all the other components for dry joints or fractures and all very well.

In any case, after you take out the hard drive and install on my bench development, I loaded Windows 7 above and placed in the laptop...

Now it loads up and gets to the point where you enter your password, but before you even see that VERY quickly the screen flashes a blue error screen.

Am I missing important drivers/fixes? or is there a way I can be sent 32 bit Vista OS to restore my laptop? I don't really want to buy Vista as it is a very poor operating system and I can't imagine anywhere to buy now days because there is no support for it.

Hello

You must install OS when the HARD drive is placed in the Notepad.
Please put the laptop HARD disk, restart your laptop. Enter the BIOS settings, set it to default settings and check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.

If the HARD drive is recognized correctly, restart the computer and press F12 to get into the boot menu.
HARD drive is it too?

Put in ODD Win7 installation disc, choose CD/DVD as a boot device and press ENTER.
Hopefully, the Win7 installation starts correctly.

  • Can I use 2 hard drives on the Satellite A200-1YX

    Hello, who knows if it can work 2 hard drives on the A200 1YX.
    In the manual is written there are 2 locations for hard drives, but it says that for some models of Satellite A200.

    Can I use 2 HDD on Satellite A200-1YX?

    As mentioned by user above, different Satellite A200 series are present on the market.
    Some supports 2 hard drives and some as a single HARD drive.

    But both series are equipped with a second Bay I recommend you simply remove the cover plastic that holds the second HARD drive Bay and check if the HARD drive connectors are available.

    I know that this empty place for second HARD drive is a bit confusing, but the same situation is with my A200-1CR. The fact is that some A200 models come with 2 hard drives and laptop case design this place must be prepared for this second HDD.

    But this does not mean that each A200 can be improved for the second HARD drive.

    Well, I put t found any blankets or slots at the bottom of the unit. In this case, I think that he must remove the keyboard and some other covers.
    But if the warranty is valid you must contact the ASP for replacement because if you open the Notepad or if you remove the covers you lose the warranty.

  • Update hard drive to the Satellite Pro L300

    Have a Satellite Pro L300 with a 120 GB hard drive, running Vista Home, the reader is divided 50-50 and does'nt Vista as to move the partition (Partition Magic does not work)...

    So would like to change to a larger HD... Q / I can do this, and how hard is it? even with the recovery of files on the Partition and if I bought the Toshiba recovery disks, gruff, when the player is changed discs would not reconise the largest disk that I discovered in the past using Norton Ghost.

    Upgrading the hard drive doesn't have to be the problem.
    HARD drive is placed in the lower corner under the HARD drive cover. HARD drive cover is fixed by two screws. Remove the screw, then the HARD drive cover. Please do it gently. After having this deletion drive by pulling on the tab kit attached to the pack, following the direction of the arrows.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need SATA HDD and it can be upgraded up to 500 GB.
    After upgrade the disk HARD use recovery DVD for installation of operating system.

    Any other questions? ;)

  • Replacing the hard drive on the satellite 1400-103

    TIA

    Hi TIA

    I'm a bit confused. Your device comes with 20 GB of HARD drive. Usually, there is problem if someone wants to build in the HARD drive with a much higher capacity. The disc HARDER it who are you talking is just with 4.3 GB. Why you want to use this HARD drive on your device?

    My opinion is that if you want to exchange the HARD drive, you must use the same as one with a higher capacity. This small, you can use as disk external DRIVE for backup of data.

But when I start after ejecting it appears vista is not installed correctly and I am prompted to start the installation... I tried several times but same thing happens every time.

    Any suggestions on what I could do?
    Thank you.

  • Replacing the HARD drive on the satellite A110-252

    I'm looking for a replacement of the hard drive for my laptop and I don't know which are compatible.

    I understand that I need a 2.5 "internal HDD, size 7 cm x 10 cm x 9.5 mm

    However the confusion for me is above the interface, I think I understand it, is that it is a SATA interface - this correct?

    .. and if so, I noticed there are SATA-150, SATA-300 & SATA II HDD, you or the other of these works to the machine?

    Is this all I should which is not compatible with the laptop, for example rotation speed, he search speed, maximum size, manufacturers etc.?

    Thank you very much

    Dougie

    Hi Douglas

    I understand you very well. Sometimes I m also very confused because the entire designations in the laptop world
    In any case, during the search on the net I found useful information on the compatible HARD drive for your laptop.

    It seems that the satellite A110-252 support SATA (serial ATA) 1.5 G interface. Most compatible hard drives support a rotational speed of 5400 RPM and that is why I recommend buy HARD drive 5400 RPM

    The laptop comes with 60 GB HARD drive. Am I wrong? I think generally you should be able to use a 80, 100 and 120 GB HDD without any problem.

    Hello

    Yes, you can replace the hard drive with another. Make sure the hard drive fits into the machine and is a SATA drive. Otherwise it shouldn´t be a problem.
    With regard to recovery: Yes, you can install Vista just by using the recovery CD. And NO, there are no special procedures that apply after replacing the hard drive.
