Install a new drive HARD satellite 2430 402

I just bought a HARD drive to 120 GB for my S2430-402 and I was wondering if there was some guides on how to open my laptop, remove the old drive and put the new?
See you soon
Mike

Hello

Are you sure that the BIOS will recognize 120 GB HARD drive?
To my knowledge the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and probably the size of 120 GB HARD drive is not compatible. The 2430 Sat came with the 40 GB. Am I wrong? So I m sure that the laptop can handle the s 20 GB, 40 GB and 60 GB HARD drive but I m not sure if the 120 GB will work!

It seems that you will have to test it.
However, to remove the HARD drive, follow the steps below.

1. turn the computer with the drive of optical media in your body.
2 slide the latch of optical media on the left and then remove the optical media drive.
3. remove the four black screws that fix the computer HARD disk.
4. with two fingers, pull the HARD drive using the rear brackets. HARD drive slides out of the connector inside the HARD drive Bay.
5. pull the HDD of the HARD drive Bay.

Notes; upgrading the HARD drive is not hard, but if you have no experience contact a technician laptop for work.

    Hi Theo,.

    HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.

    It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.

  • Satellite L655-1GN - failed to install the new drive HARD original recovery image

    Hello

    Just had to buy a new hard drive and put the latter with the former. I already checked that he was the same size and SATA as the original hard drive. When I tried to start a new installation of the operating system from the recovery disk (that I bought the Toshiba provider in my country - MAFIL), the boot option was not available.

    MAFIL representative told me that the recovery disks only for the reinstalliation of the OS on the original drive, but are not suitable to install a fresh copy again. So, how can I install my Win7 64-bit, with all settings on the new drive and Toshiba apps?

    Thank you
    Tomer

    On many models of laptops different change HARD drive or upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and after doing this, you can install recovery image using the disc of recovery without any problem.

    I did several times on different models of Toshiba laptops. This works.
    I really don't understand how someone can give you this information.

    By default the BIOS settings, restart your machine and press F12 at startup. When the boot menu appears on the screen put the recovery disk ODD news, select CD/DVD as a boot device and press ENTER.
    What happens when you do this?

  • Windows XP hangs after installing the new drive hard & software

    My 20 GB hard drive was almost full and the computer (Dell GX240) has been slow, I installed a new 160 GB drive. After loading Windows XP, Linksys, McAfee, MS Office and MS Windows updates would crash randomly. Restart the system would allow him to run for a few minutes and then hang again.
    I reformatted the drive and partitioned to 80 GB and then reloaded all programs above with the same results.
    I reformatted back to 20 GB, loaded XP and Linksys and the same problem occurred.
    It seems that the internet has something to do with the problem.
    Any suggestions?

    The drive of 20 GB that I removed to install the largest capacity disk has been reinstalled after the failure of a larger. I am currently running on the same pc and the old drive. I have another drive of 20 GB that had XP installed on it earlier. Thinking that I might try that one that I started to load some of my other programs operating and when I installed Office 2007 for household use and selected updates online blocked system shortly after. The problem is therefore not only on new facilities. The reader that I use currently a Office 2007 is installed and it works fine.

    What is the largest disk that will handle XP? I heard it's 137 GB, is it true? If I can make it work how would you recommend I have partition the drive of 160 GB?

    Thank you

    XP can handle drives of 1 TB to NTFS without problem - it's the motherboard on computers more elders who may have problems, that it is not compatible LBA.
    There is really no need to partition the disk, but I would tend to opt for about 60 GB for the operating system and 100 GB of data and then move the folder My Documents (using the option in its properties) of the data partition. This allows to separate the data and programs and means a lot less work if a reinstall is needed.

  • After installing the new drive HARD impossible to install OS on Satellite

    Hello

    I had to buy a new hard drive as old one was damage... the bios recognizes the new hard drive... but now provided by toshiba recovery cd does not and can not reinstall the system... I chose the boot from CD/DVD, but it does not start and continues to try to pre-seed from the internet and keep telling that no name of boot file received

    What can I do?

    Post edited by: Rodsin

    I really put t know what is happening here, but it will be interesting to know what Satellite phone you have.

    Try it please press the C key after turning on the unit. Keep it down for a few seconds. In this way the CD/DVD drive must be primary.

  • Installed the new drive hard and now I get a pop up that says that my windows is not genuine.

    I upgraded my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1750. Now, I get a pop up that says that my windows is not genuine. But under the control of configuration\systeme and Security\System, it says my windows is activated. It is an OEM with Windows7 system House. Did that clone a new (bigger, 1 TB) hard disk and then install. In addition, windows update does not work now either. Said the service is not running.

    You have installed RemoveWAT at some point in the past.

    Now we must try to clear up the mess :(

    Best way to fix it now (since we do not know what version of RemoveWAT served) is to run WATFix...

    Download WATFix - make sure you click the link in the page, not the big shiny buttons! - and use it.

    Then post back with another MGADiag report, and we will see what we can do.

    Hello:

    All the drivers, specifications and manuals are missing from pages support again.

    This happened earlier in the week also.

    Another Member of the forum has reported the problem to administrators forum, which will be in touch tour HP, but since I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I don't know how long it will take to restore the missing data to the support pages.

    Whether the weekend will not help much either.

  • Satellite 2430-402, display driver problem

    I have a Satellite 2450-201. Very often when the system comes back to hibernate the system will not reboot, it gets stuck after the opening logo. I have to turn it off then then got in safe mode and then restart. I get a message that the system has recovered from a failure of the device and it identifies the driver of Nvidia display as the culprit. I have re-charge the last driver from Toshiba, but if I try AN update of Microsoft, the screen goes crazy, and I have to go back through the re-boot and safe mode thing. Any ideas on what may be the problem?

    Good evening! I had this problem with my Satellite 2430 402. I ve updated the Bios and everything was fine.

    Check your Bios Version at first?

  • Satellite 2430-402: 437 Application error during recovery

    Right, I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2430-402 (purchased new) for at least 3 years. I have formated several times before and re-loaded windows back on with no problems until now.

    The problem only started two days ago, when I noticed my CD drive was not recognized. So I decided to format etc, came out the disk Recovery Utility that came only with the computer to install everything, and it will not go beyond 12%. I'm greeted by * Application error 437
    Can not read the file.

    I left really stuck and cannot load anything. I fdisc / formatted /spinrite / kill the hard disk, just in case where there is something nasty on here and can still get nowhere. This is the first time I'm really stuck.

    This could be the engraver of CD or would it be the hard drive or basically the computer is nakered. I inspected the recovery disk, and they are all clean!

    Or is it because I made an update of the bios (you mind, it was weeks ago)

    Everyone please

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    to my knowledge, the Ghost image files are placed on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    That's why I studied on the ghosts manufacturing Web site.
    It s Symantec and found this information site:

    HM http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/Ghost.nsf/0/14579a4173691f8988256abf005f4f8f?OpenDocument&SEG= & lg = fr & ct = us

    According to this page this problem seems to be due to starting the computer incorrectly when you use Ghost with GoBack on the computer.
    This problem may also occur when you use a brand or type of CD that works well with your CD - R or CD - RW device. In this case, Windows or DOS might be able to read the information on the CD that other applications cannot.

  • Satellite 2430 - 402 has a life of its own

    I got my satellite 2430 402 for about 2 years and it was absolutely perfect, but recently, I have noticed a problem that worsens every day. every few minutes the arrow mode icon turns green (without me touching the Fn key) and I lost control of the computer... strange writing appears... assistants open and close in front of me and im totally helpless that the keyboard stops working during the event... it continues for less than a minute and then everything goes back to normal for a minute or 2 then the same thing happens again...

    I'm about to start typing a thesis for my job and there is no way I can do if the problem persists... incidentally although it happens at any time it can be made worse if I try to type something, even a password to connect to a Web site... I had to use a friends computer to send sos message... can someone help please... Thank you

    [Edited by: admin 30 July 05 10:10]

    There could be different reasons for this... HARDWARE or SOFTWARE!

    First, you need to check if this occurs only when you are running windows.

    SOFTWARE:

    If so,.
    (1) a malware (trojan, keylogger etc.) can be installed on your laptop, or

    (2) a bad driver could be the reason. Have you recently joined a keyboard or usb mouse to your computer? It may have installed an incompatible driver or wrong.

    Start your computer and keep it in the PRE-START-UP phase (enter the BIOS SETUP and wait to see whether this will occure here yet).

    MATERIAL:

    If so, I guess your keyboard film contacts are dirty. You will need to remove the keyboard, open the movie-lock and clean the contacts with alcohol or contact spray. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please consult the technical support.

  • Re: Satellite 2430 402: the processor upgrade possible?

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite 2430 402 with P4 2.53 GHz.
    Is it possible to change the processor of a more recent/fast (up to 3.4 GHz)?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Maybe an other old Intel P4 CPU would work, but you will not be able to upgrade and use newer processors.
    Furthermore a stronger CPU would create more heat dissipation and this would lead to a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

    So even if a new CPU would be recognized correctly by the BIOS, it might affect the functionality of the laptop.
