How to change HDD on Satellite Pro 430CDT

Can someone tell me where I could find simple instructions telling me how to take apart my old 430CDT to mount a hard drive more? I think replace drive 1.25 GB - with a 4 or 6 GB hard drive assuming the disks that I may need to adapt.

I guess that the hard drive is hidden somewhere under the keyboard, but may not work on how to remove + that + without damaging it.

I have no real experience of this sort of thing - I did nothing more complicated than the new fitting RAM to a less-ancient A120 and change hard drives around on a Satellite 320.

Archives help, unfortunately, but it's fun to read old press releases and ads and see what was considered as performing just twelve or thirteen years - progress in the design of the computer are fast enough, isn't it? Aware that in a couple of years something with less of a terabyte of HARD drive and a quad-core processor will be also awfully outdated and limited my old 430 you like now.

Absolutely no reason practice for this - just out of curiosity and just for fun.

Any suggestion would be appreciated - thanks in anticipation!

Hello

Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
The HARD drive Bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you can easily access the HARD disk.

To remove the HARD disk drive, follow the steps below.

1. turn off the power the computer. Unplug the power cord and all external cables connected to the computer.
2. remove the two screws that fix the backup of HARD drive to the computer chassis.
3 pull the chassis forward by its handle to disconnect the HARD drive.
4. remove the frame and the brace with the HARD drive.
5. remove the four screws that anchor the frame on the HARD drive and separate the frame HARD drive.

That s it

  • Change HDD on Satellite Pro A40

    Hello!

    I have a hard drive dead in my Satellite Pro A40, and I would like to replace it.
    Please tell me which model suits me. The size of 40 to 80 GB hard drive.

    Thank you!

    This old model was offered with 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HDD. In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem, upgrade with 80 GB or even with max 100GB / 120 GB HDD.

    For example check please model Toshiba MK1032GAX. It is the old model with IDE interface and must be perfect for your machine.

    Incidentally: of course this old piece of equipment can scale up to 2 GB of RAM. How do you currently use? What operating system do you use?
    Sorry for the question, but it really is fascinating that many people still use old machines WXP. :)

  • How to change videoram on Satellite Pro A120?

    Hello

    I own a Satellite Pro A120. The manual says that the A120 is abe to have a maximum of 128 MB videoram (shared memory). I have 512 MB internal memory.
    Now he does that less than 8 MB videoram.

    I can change it to e.g. 128/64? If so, how?
    I am not able to change it in the Bios (Version 3.40).

    Thanks in advance.

    From my experience, that is not possible you can not manually change the memory of graphics card everything is controlled by the software (graphics driver).
    This means that this driver assigns a certain amount of RAM main memory graphics so it s needed. If a higher graphics card memory is not required while the graphics driver will not assign memory to s shared graphics memory

    You want to replace the STRANGE with an extra HARD drive?

    I'm not sure if this would be possible because of the BIOS support... in many cases this additional HDD would not be supported by the BIOS...

    In the past, some series of portable devices such as Portege and Tecra which supports the Bay slime select functionality supported these additional HARD drive updates but as I know Satellite models do not have this...

    Then, probably, you will need to test...

  • How to recalibrate battery on Satellite Pro A10?

    The battery that came with my laptop has begun behaving oddly a couple of months (it's almost two years, Satellite Pro A10). She arrive at about 50% and then immediately fall to about 2 percent. After setting up with this for a few months, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new battery (charge not trivial, I might add). The new battery behaves exactly the same way. Someone has any advice on how to recalibrate battery PC Toshiba laptop, or verify that the problem is with the system and not the battery itself?

    Hi Richard,

    Check in options power management Toshiba you have the right setting for your type of battery. In my opinion, there are different settings for long battery duration, high power batteries, etc..

    If the problem persists, then I recommend re-installing the power management utility to make sure that it is not at fault, and if the problem persists, then there may be a problem with the power system of your laptop, in which case you will need to return to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro 430CDT - Win98SE upgrades

    I just dusted the cobwebs off my Satellite Pro Windows 98SE 430CDT. I would like to add a DVD player and USB ports and I hope that someone else has already walked this path.

    My questions are - has enough grunt to run the DVD? There was a never a DVD player that has replaced the slot-in CD player or connect the floppy drive? That are ports of the PCMCIA Cardbus compatible (IE 32 bit)? Win 98SE must support USB - can I add USB connectivity with a serial port or PCMCIA USB adapter?

    Wow you have a Sat Pro 430CDT? This laptop is about 10 years old!
    As far as I know that it supports a maximum 48 MB memory!
    Please don t me crazy to me, but why you want to update this book and wasting money! I think it s not worth. But it's your choice!

    If you want to upgrade the DVD - rom drive, you must contact the ASP for a compatible. Not all readers are supported because different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    If you want to use the USB port I recommend buying a Toshiba PA2711U Replicator of ports that need to be compatible with the Sat Pro 430 CDT
    http://www.etech4sale.com/TOSHIBA_PA2711U_PORT_REPLICATOR/PA2711U/PARTINFO-ID-116903.html#

    or you buy a PCMCIA Type II or type III PCMCIA card with the USB function.

  • How to use Recovery on satellite Pro L10 with DVD drive broken?

    Hello...

    I have a satellite Pro L10, which is virused. I need to recover Windows. Unfortunately, I can not, because the CD/DVD drive is borked.

    I tried everything until and including the purchase of a laptop adapter HD, but my desktop computer is not a Toshiba so he does not have the recovery disk.

    I've never had to use a "recovery disk" before, so I have no idea how it works - apparently there should be a folder on my hard drive recovery? can someone tell me where I could find it? (I'm quite familiar with the innards of my installation of Windows and have never noticed before). Also, is it possible that this native recovery file has been compromised by my virus?

    Default: can it be fixed using an installation of LAN, and if so, could someone point me to instructions? (My BIOS allows booting from LAN, but not USB, which is irritating).

    Any other suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all you will not be able to use the Toshiba Recovery disk if you cannot use the CD/DVD drive.
    Why? Because you need to boot from the CD of recovery if you want to install windows from the CD from Toshiba.

    You ask how to boot from LAN?
    Well friend; I doubt that you will be able to do.
    First of all that this could be possible only if you have a RIS server.
    The Remote Installation Services can be installed optionally on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.

    It's really complicated and not easy for someone who has never done.
    If you want you can google a little how to create REEFS but in my opinion it s advisable to buy and compatible CD/DVD drive because the STRANGE can also be used for other purposes

  • How to restore settings orginal Satellite Pro A200?

    Hiya people

    I'm new to this thing, but if anyone can help me with my problem, I would be very grateful.
    I have a satellite pro A200 which is about 2.5 years and is now running really slow and I was just wondering if it can be restored to its original default? But isn't any recovery disk that I saw on the web that if you hold the zero button while turning on the computer you get the recovery of HARD drive, but for some reason page any, that this does not happen, I also tried several thing but no seams to work.

    If anyone out there can help me I would be very grateful

    Thank you

    What you have found on the web is not relevant for all models of Toshiba laptops.
    I can't say with certainty, but most A200 notebook recovery DVDs has been in the area.

    Anyway, first tell us the exact laptop model name and model number.
