• Satellite M70 (PSM71) - can I upgrade it to Vista?

  I upgraded my computer laptop M70 (PSM71) of Windows XP Home, XP Pro.

  Can I upgrade it to Vista and how?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  First of all if you want to use Vista on this laptop, then you should do a clean install of Vista!
  Second, there is a 5.30 - VICTORY especially for Vista 32-bit BIOS update! This means that you must update the BIOS if you want to use Vista!

  Regarding the Intel WLan driver:
  Choose the one who is working on your laptop and who recognize the Wlan card!
  The driver WLan can also be found here:

  New BT stack can be found here:

  WinDVD8 cannot be downloaded for Vista it s additional software and it s only on the Toshiba Recovery disk

• Re: upgrade memory Satellite M70-159

  I have the Satellite m70-159 with 512 RAM and you want to upgrade memory.
  Is ddr2 sdram so-dimm PC5300, 667 Mhz kingston 1 G memory compatible with my laptop?
  I know that this memory will run as PC4200, but I don't know where to buy PC4200.
  Thank you.

  The Satellite M70 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

  The Kingston RAM must be compatible with your laptop because Kingston's high-quality RAM and many users here upgraded with modules from Kingston.
  And as you say that the RAM will work as long as PC4200, it is not a problem.

• 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

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M70

  Could someone advice me if it's worth changing my hard drive of 80 GB 5400 RPM for a 80 to 100 GB 7200 RPM drive? There is much to gain and there traps?

  Thank you

  The highest speed of HARD drive doesn't have to be a serious problem. Of course, faster hard drives produce a little more heat but it s not unusual.
  The use of HARD drive might be a bit lauder because of higher rotation speed, but the performance of data transmission would be increased.

  After the upgrade everything should work properly

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro A120-184 - SATA or PATA interface

  Hello

  I have a 120-184 (1 year) and want to know if there a SATA or PATA interface? I need to upgrade the hard drive, but here? m do not know what model to buy... To be honest I don't really know the difference!

  Sorry for stupid questions,
  Thanks in advance,
  Mike

  Hey Buddy

  You need a SATA HDD.
  The P - ATA is a technology more old which has been replaced by a new interface standard called SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).

  As I m wrong not the satellite Pro A120 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive.

  I think you should be able to use the 100 GB or maybe a 120 GB hard drives.
  More big disk HARD s could not be recognized by the BIOS correctly.

  In case you I would not try larger 120 GB HARD disk sizes.

  See you soon

• 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:

• Re: HDD upgrade on Satellite R630-14R

  Hello

  I post my first question and I add a few long history! I have a running Windows 8.1 R630-14R.

  How can I backup Windows 8.1 and then replace the hard drive with something like a 1 TB drive?

  Thank you!

  * Background: *.
  The laptop comes with Windows 7 and 320 GB hard drive. The HARD disk is divided into a drive C: and D:, which means I have to divide my library of photos and music on the two disks. Very irritating!

  I installed Windows 8, and it has replaced a lot of Toshiba. The laptop is incredibly fast now! I ahd to reinstall the drivers for everything, which was a bit scary, but it works brilliantly now without all the bloat.

  But, the 320 GB drive is now close to full. I swapped a hard drive before, but it's Windows 7, with recovery discs, this time I 8.1, and not of records. In addition, when overwriting 8 installed over deleted 7 Toshiba backup program.

  Also, I want to run the new drive without the split irritating, so that I can unite all of my music files, video and photo.

  Of course (!) all files will be reproduced on an external HARD drive before you start!

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with Win7 preinstalled. I hope that you have created recovery disks until you have installed the own version of Win8.1. This recovery disks, you can use to install the original recovery image whenever you want, and it may be old to the new HARD disk.

  OK, you now own BONES. Generally change HARD drive or upgrade is supported and you can do it alone. Toshiba has nothing to do with your decision to use Win8.1. You can do it and install on your machine, but as you can see, you need to install all the drivers, tools and utilities one by one and it's a little complicated.

  Before you swap HARD drive you need to back up all your important data. It can be done on an external HARD drive.
  In my opinion, you have two options to have Win8.1 on the new HARD drive:
  Installation of Windows 1 / own
  2 / you can create the recovery of your version of Win8.1 image by using some third party software like Acronis true image part and use these recovery media to install the version of Win.

  What do you think of all this?

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10 - problem with the IDE connector

  Hope someone can help me here.

  I'm trying to adapt a 80 GB HDD to the M10 and I managed to get the Hong Kong HDD caddy, but no matter where I turn, I can not find the right IDE connector.
  If anyone can give me a link to a vendor, I'd be really grateful. I had this project will for about 4 months now and she crawled to a halt.

  Thank you.

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  I want to exchange the hard drive of my Satellite Pro M10. Can someone tell me what drives can I use? On ebay, I found a disk HARD 160 GB fot this model, but in the manual they talked only about 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.

  Thanks for any help!

  Your old laptop IDE interface for the connection of HARD drive, so I think you can use max 120 GB HARD drive.
  It should be enough for this oldie? Do you agree with me?

• HDD upgrade on Satellite L30-149

  Hello

  I want to change my hard drive of 80 GB to 320 GB. I'm computer Toshiba Satellite L30-149.
  I hope someone try it before and it works.

  If someone can Swedish please answer me too... Good day. MVH Emilia

  Hello

  It depends on the HARD disk controller.
  If the HARD disk controller support the 48-bit LBA then you would be able to use more than 128 GB of HARD drive

  Since ATA-6 also known as Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100 the 48-bit LBA is supported.
  So now to know what the HARD drive controller is supported by your L30.

  I think you might find this detail using a program like Everest home edition for example.

  Install it and check it out!
