HDD upgrade for Satellite M30 304

Hello

I have a Satellite M30-304. It has a 40 GB hard drive and I would like to upgrade to 120 or 160 GB.

Could if it you please let me know the specification of compatible drive for M30 - 304?
Can what max HDD M30-304 capacity have? Detailed specifications would be useful.

Thank you.

I doubt you could use a 160 GB HARD drive.
I recommend you to check a 120 GB IDE 2.5 "HDD.

The point is that the HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and bigger hard drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

So in my opinion the 120 GB is the largest HARD drive that can be used.

Also check some threads here in the forum.
That is to say:

  • Need good drivers for Satellite M30 304

    I have a Satellite M30-304. I rebooted the laptop and formatted everything, including pilots. Unfortunately I have lost my CD of restoration as well. So, I tried to download it online on the official website but I downloaded the wrong drivers making my laptop more low and I can't even use my special functions of the keyboard and my screen become darker.

    Does anyone know how to download the right drivers and whence?

  • HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

    Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

    The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

    PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
    PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

    You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

    All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
    Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

    I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
    Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
    Buffer size: 8 MB
    Number of discs: 2
    Number of Heads: 4

    Hello Moira

    I put t know which country you live but if you use Google, I'm sure you'll find many online shops where you can order batteries for this model of laptop. Otherwise contact the Toshiba authorized service partner and they can order one for you.

    BTW for this model there are two spare batteries:
    PA3331U-1BRS

  • Satellite M30-304 - strange questions after BIOS update

    Hi all

    I updated my BIOS according to the good driver for Satellite M30. However, since this operation took the endless problems with screen and wireless card. Also the screen used to display flash BIOS only now them a Centrino, Centrino logo sometimes sometimes Mr. Pentium, I don't know that the version of BIOS is incorrect for my laptop. If I try to re - install the upgrade, it is said version already installed 1.7, so will not continue.

    1. is there a way to force the re - install the same version?
    2. someone can the upgrade me of the correct BIOS Setup for the model n ° PSM30E-0QKJ1-5U, I installed the version was 20070807154017

    The history is quite interesting. AFAIK Centrino logo is there if the Centrino platform is in use.

    The Centrino platform consists of:
    an Intel Pentium M processor
    a chipset Intel 855 of the series
    an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802 11 b) mini-PCI wireless adapter

    If a component is removed (Intel PRO/Wireless mini-PCI wireless adapter) the Centrino logo will disappear. I don't really know why logo is from time to time, but you did the right BIOS update. There is no other for your laptop model.

    Can you please tell me what is the problem with your wireless network adapter? You can use just sporadically or what?

    ATI Radeon 9600/9700 mobility driver for Satellite M30

    Hope it works somehow been research throughout the day now :(

    Hello

    It s your lucky day my friend.
    Check out this site and download the drivers you need:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/

    The drivers are native drivers for Nvidia/ATI, but the file *.inf (files containing the settings for maps and information material) have been adjusted for mobile systems. This means that you can install on your machine, and by the way, you will get the most current drivers.

    Satellite M30 laptop is very nice. I worked for about 6 months on this laptop. For me the laptop is powerful enough and upgrade the CPU is really not necessary. What you need to do is upgrade of RAM at the level maximum and of course good configuration of the OS.

  • Need drivers USB 2.0 for Satellite M30

    I installed a new version of MS Windows XP on my satellite M30. Now the scanner or the usb - hd works at the speed of usb - 1.0. I think I installed all the drivers you can download from the toshiba support site. But I found no USB2.0 drivers for download. How can I use my drives USB2.0 high-speed?

    Thx for answer to... :)

    Hello

    I don t think that the installation or upgrade of the driver may resolve this problem. As far as I know it of not possible to install the USB drivers because the Windows operating system uses own Microsoft USB drivers.
    As far as I know this device supports USB 2.0 and you n t need to install all external drivers. Are you sure that you scan USB 2.0 support?

    Hello

    I need a replacement recovery disc for my satellite m30-106. I bought the laptop in the United Kingdom, but now I'm in portugal. Is there anywhere I can download or get a rendering?

    Thank you very much

    I subscribe to the opinion of Johnny s.
    The recovery CD can be purchased from suppliers of services authorized in your country. These CD s are not expensive.

  • Need of recovery for Satellite M30 Series CD

    Hi all!

    I lost my recovery CD and in France they say that it is not possible to send one for me (they said it's old and they don't have them).

    First question: is it possible to use a CD from an another Toshiba (same model)?
    A second: If so, can someone send it to me? I live in Paris!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Satellite M30 is old enough laptop model, and I can imagine that this authorized partner can not order the original CD more.

    It will be much better off buying the CD of Microsoft WXP facilities (on eBay it ain't cheap) and you can install WXP yourself. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page.

    For me, it's the best solution for you.

    How would I go to get a replacement for these?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Each part of the laptop can be bought from the ASP (authorized service provider) in your country.

    From time to time, the order may take a little longer if the parties are not available.
    But you should get all the details of ASP Simple contact with them guys.
