• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

  Hi Merlin,

  Thank you for the information.

  Have you tried to run a check disk from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System)? If this isn't the case, you can try to do a hard drive from the BIOS test & see if the problem still occurs.

  If you are not comfortable with the BIOS, you you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  Hi Gordon

  I just downloaded drivers from the Dell website in support of xp

  I have tried to reboot from the XP cd but got the following message when I tried to install

  "This program is blocked due to compatibility issues"

  Program - the installer of Windows

  Editor - Microsoft

  Location: D:\1386\winnt32.exe

  Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the cd. If you decide to remove the version latest Windows that is currently installed the files and settings cannot be recovered"

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
  even if any version of Windows is installed.

  I'm not sure at 100% but with other models of HP, I saw that they did not come with the extra cable or caddy.

• Satellite Pro A120 - Jerky empty reading after installing new HARD drive

  Just installed a new hard drive in my Satellite Pro A120. Made a full new install Vista, installed all the drivers but video playback is choppy/jerky. Even google earth is juddery. It didn't use to be like this with the original hard drive.

  A I had a problem of driver somewhere? I think it's the 945 chipset.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest, it's really hard for us, users, to say what causes this problem and I think you should test more yourself

  Anyway, you have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  You should also check if all Windows updates are installed and if you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.

• Install new HARD drive in a PC 2100

  If anyone can help, I bought a second hand Toshiba SP2100(Model no.:PS210E-0069-5M) with a TravelStar 20 GB HDD. I bought a Toshiba MK4025GAS 40 GB of HARD drive to replace the 20 GB HARD drive, but when I install it, it is not recognized in the BIOS. I connected the new HARD drive to my PC via a USB cable to the IDE and the disc is recognized. Any ideas.

  Hello

  Well, it's not easy to say why the HARD drive may not be recognized.
  I think because of the size of the HARD drive. But that's my own opinion. Have you tried to update the BIOS? Please see the Toshiba for the right BIOS download page. But beware because the incorrect BIOS procedure may damage the motherboard.

  Good bye

• Warranty void installed new HARD drive, but I still have the original?

  Hello

  I recently installed a new 200GB Hitachi HARD 7200 RPM drive on my laptop, I know that my warranty will be cancelled, but as I still have the original HDD safe and sound, the guarantee will still defend if say... the technicians were to come round to fix my laptop due to an unrelated issue, but see that the HARD drive has been upgraded; they will always fix the laptop even after I show them as the original? It's a long shot I know, but the 40 GB of HARD disc that came with the laptop only leave me little room after installation of Vista.

  At my upgrade COMPLETELY canceled my claim to the guarantee? Even if I just say... come back and install the original HARD drive in my system, just before the technicians come to my house? But that would be the same as if say... I just show the technician the original HDD on arrival while having the HDD Upgrade inside the laptop.

  A bit confusing, I know, but I'm in a quandary, because the guys from Toshiba are set to come around my place to watch my laptop under warranty, and I fear that they will fix my phone because I upgraded to a better HD and faster.

  Thank you very much, I hope someone answers.

  Hi Mohin

  I would like to try to clarify your question.
  The guarantee will be cancelled, if you you disassemble the laptop.
  I imagine that the laptop was equipped with a HDD slot at the bottom of the unit and you have to delete only one screw to remove the small cache connector HARD drive. Am I wrong?
  So in this case the upgrade of components such as the memory or the HARD drive will not avoid the warranty.

  But it s a good idea to keep the old HDD that were shipped with the laptop.

  Best regards

• Restore itunes after installing new hard drive

  Very well. I have a HP DV2726ca the HARD drive was not. I have several external hard drives. I backed up my music folder and then just copied the contents of the folder this music in the new music folder.

  When I open iTunes I see not those exclamation points or I see a bunch of clouds. shouldn't the fact that I kept physical copies say that I wouldn't have to download anything?

  I have a "iTunes folder" and a folder named "music m4a files.

  I put all my songs inside this folder "automatically add to iTunes".

  I'm so confused. In the past, I had more easily. right now I don't have one of my playlists. I clicked on see the duplicates and there were many, some are same as triples.

  I allowed my computer again. I don't understand why I not see an exclamation mark on the left side of the song or I get a rating of icloud. not sure if there is something that needs to be downloaded to play my protected music old ones I bought 128 and require authorization for the file set.

  I had installed 10 windows but I have problems to install again on windows 7. my computer gives me several s bluescreen per day. I told someone the errors, and then he said sounds like a HARD drive problem. whenever I did the test drive HP that it would fail within a second. so I bought another 500GB which is what I had in this laptop before.

  This laptop comes with Windows Vista. I upgraded to 7 years and then updated on 29 July. It does not appear that I can install windows 10 so I just want things to normal with windows 7.
