HARD on my Tecra 8000 P11 drive failure

Hello

I hope someone can help,
I have an old tecra 8000 P11 and the HARD drive failed, I tried re starting from the cd but says disc hard is not recognized or does not. any ideas?
Can someone point me in the direction of a compatible HARD drive replacement or original.

Thank you

Hello

This is an older unit and it is not easy to give you accurate information but I found one that can be useful for you. Obviously, Tecra 8000 comes with different HARD drive capacities and the largest is 14FR. I don? t know which one you have now, but you should not use the HARD drive with too much capacity because it won't be recognized without doubt. I recommend you check eBay because there you can buy an and it won't cost much.

    Hello

    I don't know but, I am very pessimistic, you have every chance of casting more than 8 GB HDD to your laptop because there are BIOS HARD disk size restrictions! If the latest version of the BIOS does not support the new HDD it appears impossible to run!

    Can you please send a link where is possible to read the specifications of this 40 GB HARD drive.

  • Tecra 8000: Display driver

    Hi all, I hope someone can help with my problem. I have a Tecra 8000 and just reformat and installed Windows 98 Second edition, the problem is that I have a small window in the middle of the screen with a black border completely round. I don't have the original disks that came with it and said that I need to install the display driver, as I can change the resolution, is does anyone know where I can download this driver from, or can someone provide me with it. I tried the download from toshiba site, but its not available.
    I also tried to change the resolution, but because there is only the installed base driver I can't change it. If anyone can help.
    Thank you

    Hello Mick

    The problem is that this device is not supported for W98SE and that is a reason why you can not find a driver on the Toshiba site. The graphics card in your unit is NeoMagic NM2200 (MagicMedia 256av).

    Please check on the net if you can find a driver on the site of producer of graphics card. There is no guarantee that it will work, but I'm sure that there should be no problem. Please also check the BIOS settings if there is an option called display stretching or something like that. If so he set to active.

  • Tecra 8000 - how to connect the HARD drive to another laptop?

    Hello, what kind of camera do I need to connect an old hard drive Tecra 8000 to a laptop from another production?

    I want to just transfer some data, but the connector on the Tecra ac no longer works.

    Hello!

    You can use a drive enclosure external DRIVE with USB port for this.
    The external HARD disk enclosure should be for 2.5 s HDD with IDE interface. All that s.

    Contact your local computer dealer. I'm sure they will have these cases.

  • Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

    I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

    I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
    I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

    The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
    Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

    Hello

    Don t need to change BIOS settings

    As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
    What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

    The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

    More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

    I want to increase my hard drive, which is a maximum size of the HD can I increaes in my laptop?

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is no official document on a maximum size of HARD drive, but I think you can use a 20, 30 GB without any problem.
    You can ask the service for a partner caught max supported size HARD drive or HARD drive dealer.

    Hello

    I found the info Toshiba has delivered two different Tecras 8000. Can you please write exact number of sticker for laptop? It must be something like Tecra 8000 (PAT80AE-xxx).

  • HARD on my Tecra S2 drive is not accessible

    I have a laptop Tecra S2.
    Yesterday, he crashed and turned off the coast, I tried holding the button function and F3 to start in safe mode but nothing.

    I inserted my Windows XP CD to try and gets repairs there, but in the end said no hard drive found system will reboot in 15 seconds.
    Is this to say that my hard drive is broken and if so someone can let me know the part number to get a new hard drive, my existing in the laptop hard drive is 20 GB?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Yes, it really looks like a HARD drive failure. The HARD drive needs to be replaced.
    The Tecra S2 should be able to handle 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives.
    It is important that you buy a HARD drive that supports the enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface.

  • Tecra 8000: Question on the HARD disk and the password

    Hi all
    A market recently my son bought an old laptop Toshiba T8000.

    Personally, I have absolutely no knowledge of the laptop myself as a desktop is everything I've ever used.
    However, I recharged the battery and the power, it asks for a password, even if what I believe to be the HD is missing (Vacant housing, left under the keyboard and behind the battery)

    Our local store offers him an incredible £121 a new HD

    HA wasted his pocket money on it or can he get a password and the HD at reasonable price to fit?

    Any help is greatly welcomed.

    BREZ.

    Hello

    Especially the password appears at the beginning of the startup procedure because the BIOS password has been set.
    Unfortunately, you cannot delete or remove the BIOS password if the old password of BIOS is not known to you. Either contact you the person who sells you the device and ask for the password or you will contact the service partner in your country for a deletion.

    I guess that's a Tecra 8000 with the number PAT80XE.
    This unit is a little older and so I think that hard drives are rare, a little so more expensive.
    By the way: the device supports an EIDE HARD disk interface

  • Tecra 8000 - connection of the hard disk

    Hello

    My old Tecra 8000 dropped last night after 4 years loyal service. She simply refuses to start to start most of the time. I think that this is a motherboard problem because sometimes it is starts on a diskette and remains stable for about 10 minutes. I know that the hard drive is fine as I can copy files on disk when booting from the floppy in DOS mode. Is there a way I can connect the HDD on a desktop PC so that I can recover the files which are there?

    Thanks for your help,

    Tom

    Hello

    James means the case of HARD drive 2.5 external with a USB port or / and the firewire interface. These cases, you can buy everywhere. Also check ebay.

  • Tecra 8000: Cannot start - Message "Insert disc in the drive system" lights

    I have a Tecra 8000, I've not used for about two months. Now when I try to start the "Disk system to insert in the drive" message on the display. I tried three disks in the system, but they have not been accepted and the same message appears. I visited in the 'setup' and changed priorities and tried to floppy, CD-ROM, HARD disk drive, and the same message every time. Is it possible that the internal battery "backup" is completely flat?

    Hello

    Well, I'm not sure about your suggestion of the bios battery. Usually, you will see an error massage low battery BIOS or CMOS battery low.
    Well, but if the battery is low, so all settings are disabled and the BIOS can't save the changes.
    It's not easy to say what the problem is. If there is something wrong with the material if you ask ASP for help.

  • hard drive failure

    I recently tried to upgrade to el capitan in yosemite. He failed during the installation process, and now, whenever I boot my mac need me in disk utility. I can't erase, restore, Mount/unmount my osx partition. I took it to the store, they checked, and it was the hard drive failure. IM wondering how I can run windows on it. I can boot into window normally and everthing worked.

    MacBook pro early 2011

    Windows is located on its own partition, and if your Mac partition is damaged in any way it is not part of the windows installation.

    If an authorized service apple tells you to replace the drive, you will need to back up your windows partition with something else than Time Machine, if it's not an a separate physical disk.

  • Tecra 8000 - failure to CD-ROM - new installation disc?

    The CD-ROM drive in my Tecra 8000 has a defect. It attempts to load a CD-ROM, LED is flashing, it stops, and then the drive LED is lit.
    So I guess the drive is down.

    What kind of new CD-ROM is suitable for this laptop? Toshiba only original ones?

    Hello

    Wow, the Tecra 8000 series is really old. Do you use yet this laptop?
    It feels like the notebook would come from the stone age ;)

    However, I think that the CD/DVD drive supports * interface IDE but not all readers would be compatible due to master/slave/cable select settings

    It seems that the reader of DVD-ROM + Toshiba - SD-C2002 + would be compatible.
    Not sure if you'll be able to get this disc because of the age of the unit, but probably the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country could provide some readers compatible optical disc
