• Hard drives in Tecra 8200

  Hello

  I bought a 8200 Tecra with a PIII 750 MHz CPU on ebay. The Machine works fine but the HARD drive is only 6 GB. Can I replace the Original HARD drive with other drives? Are there restrictions? How should I get the new HARD drive into the BIOS?

  Thanks for the replies :)

  > How should I get the new HARD drive into the BIOS?
  You n t need to enter the new HARD drive in the BIOS! The BIOS will automatically recognize the HARD drive.
  But you must use a supported and compatible.

  > Can I replace the Original HARD drive with other drives
  Yes you can.
  The computer supports a 10 GB and 20 GB HARD drive.
  I found a few reference numbers; MK1016GAP TOSHIBA or TOSHIBA MK2016GAP

• Tecra Z40 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I bought the Z40 with a 500 GB HARD drive. As a replacement, I bought the next SSD:

  Crucial CT512MX100SSD1 - 500 GB

  Unfortunately I don't have to work. On the BIOS, I see that the system recognizes the ssd. But the boots of system restore, or windows 8.1 detail installs. Are there any known compatibility issues?

  Problems persist if the bios setting is UEFI oder CSM.

  I have upgraded to the latest version of the bios to 3.7, but that did not change the result.

  If the BIOS recognizes the new SSD drive, the drive must be visible to the system.
  May I ask how did you try to install the OS Windows 8.1?
  Have what media you used?

  The Z40 Tecra can't internal ODD (optical disc). This is why I m wondering about the installation procedure

• Tecra A10 does'nt recognize 2nd HARD drive in the Bay of the STRANGE

  Hello

  My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
  I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
  is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
  Does anyone have a solution?

  Thank you for your experience of return.
  Best regards

  Hello

  I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
  The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

  But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
  You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
  After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

  I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

• Tecra W50 - cannot start when installing the second hard drive (caddy).

  Hi all
  I have a Tecra W50 PT640A 04103NN1.
  When a second hard drive is installed in the Bay of DVD player cell phone will try to boot from the drive bay, not the internal drive
  This second drive has no operating system installed and so the fails to start.

  If I hit F12 at startup and select HARD drive, while the machine starts correctly. That is starts on the main hard drive.
  Change the order of boot in the BIOS makes all the difference; He will always try to boot from the second drive bay drive first.

  All known A it works correctly?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Doppelfrog,
  I had the same problem with my W50, got my HDD caddy a few days ago.
  You have a bit of luck to fix this problem?
  I believe that the Bios for this laptop is not developed to serve both drives (like the computer I had that one drive Bay) and it is not possible to prioritize the witch THAT HDD should start first...

  Kind regards

• Tecra A2 - Upgrade 40 GB HARD drive to something bigger

  Here's my laptop specs.

  Tecra A2-104: Intel® Celeron®...
  Part number: PTA20E-07701QEN
  Main features
  Processor Intel® Celeron® M 330 (1.40 GHz)
  Windows XP Professional
  1 GB OF RAM DDR
  40 GB hard drive. Speed - 4200 RPM. Certification - S.M.A.R.T

  Could someone advise me as to what type of HDD would be better that the current one is not just big enough. I don't want to go buy one and realize that it does not work.

  Thank you

  Hi duff321,

  Upgrade the HARD drive is usually no problem because it s not delicate procedure and if you buy a HARD drive with more RPM (revolutions per minute) and something more grand (120 GB for example) your computer should work a little faster had more high density of data.

  Anyway, motherboards with IDE controller have limitation of LBA 28 bits, which means that you can use hard disks up to 128 GB or with other words 120 GB would be the maximum capacity of the HARD drive and it should be ok because he three times as much as on the old HARD drive.
  I can recommend for example of hard drives from Western Digital, but all other brands should work correctly.

  Just take a look at a few online shops or ask your authorized service provider.

• Tecra A2 used power up after upgrading the hard drive

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A2. Hard drive 60 GB factory begins to run out, so I installed a new 160 GB drive.

  But the system will not power on with the 160GB inside.
  When I press the power button the AC light goes from green to orange and blinks short short short Long Long Long in this sequence

  If I put the original drive, it does not supply power to the top.

  Any ideas what I can do about it? I got tired of updating bios on Toshiba website, but he has not made a difference.

  Thank you

  Hi DenSys,

  > Any ideas what I can do about it?
  In my opinion, the case is clear: either this new HARD drive is defective or it s is not compatible to your laptop. But if everything works with the old HDD, you contact the new 160 GB back

  Your laptop has an IDE interface for HARD drive? If so don t forget that it will be able to manage the hard disks up to 128 GB only due limitation LBA 28 bits. In order to check another model.

• Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

  I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
  It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

  Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

  Hello

  Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
  The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
  Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

  But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
  I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

• Tecra M10 - HARD drive upgrade

  One sees no problem, replace the 160 GB HARD drive for a disk of 1 to I have already partitioned/formatted and installed XP PRO on the 1 TB HDD in my M-105 satellite and it works very well in there but he would prefer in the fastest latest TECRA laptop.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that this should not be a big problem since the SATA controller must handle the 1 TB HARD drive.

  You can test using the disk HARD of the M105 replacement is not difficult and the two units M105 and M10 supports the same SATA HDD.

• Tecra M10 - 17U use second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD

  Hello

  I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

  [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

  My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

  I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

  Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=39412

  It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
  As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

• Tecra M2 - I need a new HARD drive compatible

  Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand Tecra M2, but the hard drive will be replaced soon because it is endangered. I found a hard drive on ebay that says it's compatible, it says in the title for the hard drive

  "Toshiba Laptop Tecra TE S2 S1 M3 M2 M1 hard disk 120 GB.
  (Here's a direct link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toshiba-120GB-Laptop-Hard-Drive-Tecra-TE-S2-S1-M3-M2-M1_W0QQitemZ230361558318QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Dri ves_Storage_Internal? hash = item35a29e6d2e & _trksid = p 3286.m63.l1177)

  but there seems to be so many models of m2 that I don't know if this drive will be compatible with each other. I'm a novice, if you have not already guessed! So, I would be very grateful for the advice. Model No. my particular M2. is PTM20E-01KK3-FR

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  For the Tecra M2 you need a HARD drive with IDE interface, and this means that the HDD from eBay should also work on your laptop properly.

  As far as I know the Tecra M2 may due the only handful of 28-bit LBA limit s HDD up to 128 GB 120 GB HARD drive should work. :)

• Can Tecra M9 - I put the HARD drive?

  I currently own a * Tecra M9 - 15I * (part PTM91E-04R03TEN No. - discontinued model).

  When I bought the laptop, it came with a 120 GB HARD drive. I am running Windows Vista Business which fills almost half of the hard drive. I want to upgrade the HARD drive because I think the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? If so, what are the compatible HARD drive options? If I do not change the HARD drive, this will affect the status of the guarantee of the laptop? for example, I currently have a 3 year warranty and the warranty upgrade HARD drive Toshiba?

  Hello!

  Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive on your laptop and this doesn t affect the warranty. HDD upgrade isn't complicated and so it can be done by the user.

  To swap the HARD drive, you need only remove the screws to the HARD drive Bay and remove the HARD disk cover. Then you can see the HARD drive and swap it.
  I don t know you, look in your user manual. You will find interesting information and photos on this topic.

  Theoretically, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.
  I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  Good bye

• After mainboard replace my HARD drive with password works on TECRA S11?

  I hope that my local service center will replace my TECRA mainboard (later I'll tell why). Will my drive HARD with the password protection work and my files accessible encrypted fingerprints after a motherboard CPU replace?

  Windows 7 Pro will start in after this 'upgrade' hand / replace?
  (I have read the thread similar Tecra S5 topic, pls do not link which closed thread)

  Hello

  Usually, the HARD drive password should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
  The fact is that the HARD drive password is stored in a special area of the HARD drive and should not be an issue this motherboard has been replaced.

  I found this info in the knowledge base of Toshiba:

  Do you have an answer why?

  Thank you for the help

  Hello

  He recognized the HARD drive in the BIOS?
  If not, then possibly the BIOS can't handle this HARD drive because of the size
  Try a 500 GB or 750 GB 2.5 HDD
