• How to remove password BIOS (Satellite A30) - Please help

  Hello. In the company I work, there is a Toshiba Satellite A30 having a BIOS password.

  I was asked to remove the password and, inside the BIOS, I was able to clear the password (at least that is what I thought at first):

  BIOS asked the current password and I typed, then requested a new password and I just pressed the ENTER key, and when I was asked to retype the new password I pressed ENTER again.

  After that, I saw that BIOS showed "PASSWORD (clear)" and I saved the changes and exit.

  To my surprise, I was asked a password even once, I just pressed the ENTER key and it showed an "INCORRECT PASSWORD" message and the same message when I type the old password!

  I don't know if there was a password of Toshiba when the computer was purchased, but the manual that I downloaded here does not mention that.

  Is there a way to fix this? I do not understand what can happen!

  VERY GOOD THANKS in ADVANCE and thanks again for reading.

  Hello

  If the correct password is not for you there is no way to remove them. It can be removed only by the authorized service partner. Please contact them and they will do it for you. I guess it can't be expensive.

• How to remove HDD on Satellite A35-s159

  How to remove the hard drive on this laptop?

  Hi Barbara,

  I believe A35 are the United States, the equivalent of the European A30 in which case the hard disk is located below the optical drive that will have to be removed first. This is usually held with a screw that can be accessed from the bottom of the laptop (mine is numbered F5 on the case). The optical drive will then be able to slide toward the front of the laptop and the hard drive will be accessible (attached with four screws.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  As far as I know you must remove the battery, HARD drive, optical drive, keyboard and displays first Assembly. After that, you must remove 20 screw on the underside (about 15 black screws, two black screws in the mea optics and bays of battery and four silver screws for the video monitor port and the parallel port).

  After this, return the unit and remove the five screws black. Before you lift the top cover of the computer s chassis, remove the following cables:
  -FPC TouchPad cable
  LED/button cable FFC
  -Speaker cable

  Sorry but I can't give you more information. This time, I did it for a long time.

  Good luck and be careful

• Satellite 1100: How to remove HDD?

  Help!

  corrupt Windows operating system so won't boot up in normal ways then were recommended to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure.
  So I can it connect to another pc in order to save documents etc. before using the recovery disk.

  However I do not know how to remove it because it doesn't seem to be a small cover on the bottom. It is a portable satellite 1100. Any help welcome.

  Hello

  To my knowledge it s a simple procedure because the HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit near the extension memory location.
  As I remember the cover of the location is fixed with a screw only.
  Simply remove everything and you should be able to open the slot!

  But look man be careful and do it gently ;)

• 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

  Hi guys

  I'm not too good with computers but have bought a new HARD drive for my L-series I've been informed that my HARD drive is maybe broken due to errors when I perform chkdsk checks and the fact that it freezes and crashes randomly.

  There is no difficult things to do to swap the HARD drive. Which is a fairly simple process and he s done in 5 minutes I think.

  I have the Satellite L300 in front of me. To swap the HARD drive, turn off the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter. On the underside, you can find the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive, you are now able to exchange the HARD drive.

  Hello

  GParted is don t know for me.
  Always is it that your laptop needs to install the SATA driver if you want to install XP on this laptop.
  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers, and you can download from the Toshiba page or from the Intel page too.

  Back to the installation procedure.
  You have two options;
  You install the SATA drive external floppy driver by pressing the F6 key during XP Setup process or you will create a clean XP CD using the nLite.

  The two procedures work for sure. In your case if it n t work properly, then * you did something wrong! *
  And I recommend to repeat this procedure over and over again and recommend that you check each bet twice!

  You can also erase all partitions in Vista if you want to use the XP.
