Need information about HDD upgrade on Equium A100-027

HI people :-)

Can I change the HARD disk drive in my Equium a100 027 for one with a speed of 7200 RPM?

If not what is the largest size of HARD drive I can put in?

It is also useful to do a lot to make a dual boot with Vista and XP or get one with Vista and the other drive with XP

Someone can also point me in the direction of the place where to buy the right type of player with the correct connection... its SATA I think

Thanks in advance for your help

In my opinion, you can use the HARD drive with the speed of 7200 RPM. I put t really see no reason why this should not be possible!

It is important that you buy a HARD drive with the interface supported and the size of the HARD drive.

You are right; Equium A100 supports SATA HDD interface.
You must not use SATA and IDE hard drives!

According to some internet sites, the laptop came with 80 GB HARD drive.
I presume that you should be able to upgrade the 120 GB HARD drive, but this is just a suggestion because Toshiba does not have any official information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

Best regards

    The search in google, arrived from some A100 with 160 GB HARD drive, so I think that you have a good chance a 250 GB will work.

    Can you try a 250 GB before buy you?

  • Upgrading RAM and HDD on Equium A100-027

    Hello

    I have an Equim A100-027 and I already upgraded the two 512 MB to 2 GB 2 memory chips which is the maximum I can get?

    I've also already installed a hard drive over a 350GB one, but I'm looking to install a high - what is the maximum size that I could install? I guess that there must be a limit, but I was hoping that 750 GB to 1 TB would be OK.

    I appreciate all the answers - thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that 2 GB RAM ist the value of memory as possible which is supported by Equium A100-027 Mr. I have this chipset limitation.

    Upgrading the HARD drive must be possible from the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size.
    That's why I think that 750Go should be possible

    Please share the news with us after finishing these updates.

  • Question about updating map of RAM and graphics on Equium A100-027

    Hello
    I have an Equium A100-027 with 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512MB modules)
    If I would like to raise the speed, which RAM modules would need? I also need a new graphic card, can I buy a graphics card or should it be some for my laptop?

    Hello

    in regard to your question upgrade:

    RAM-> you need 200 pin DDR2 RAM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

    Graphics-> update is not possible, because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard of your laptop, which means it s 'wired '.

  • Equium A100-027 - Question about the installation of Win 7:32-bit or 64-bit

    Hello

    I have an Equium A100-027
    I have just ordered an upgrade to 2 GB RAM and want to do a new install of WINDOWS 7 on Vista.

    Should I go for the 32-bit version or 64 - not sure if I need one over the other based on the processor?

    Thanks in advance

    David

    Hello

    Windows 7 32 bit supports max 3.2 GB of RAM
    In case you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB of RAM, I recommend to choose Windows 7 64-bit to be able to use all 4 GB of RAM

    The processor is an Intel Pentium T2060 that supports 32-bit but physical address Extensions is based on 32 bits, which allows x 86 processors to access more than 4 GB of physical memory

  • Equium A100 - 027: running slow

    Any help appreciated - my equium a100-027 running incrdeibly slow, especially shortly after the start.

    This is for all the excellent Internet programs.

    Sometimes I get an error message saying card Flash not working do not.

    Please help - thanks!

    Hello

    Satellite A100-027 seems to be equipped with 1 GB of RAM (2 x512MB)
    If you are using Win Vista or Win 7 then it would be desirable to increase the RAM up to 2 GB.

    You can also disable some background process is not necessary.
    You can do it in msconfig-> Startup tab.

    > Sometimes I get an error message saying card Flash not working do not.
    Well, the cards Flash is a utility that controls the FN keys.
    Perhaps this tool needs to be reinstalled again.

    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download and reinstall the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

    Good luck

  • Equium A100-027 touchpad not responding

    I have an equium a100-027 and today the touchpad was funny.
    For example, I went to move and sometimes it wouldn't be no move, moved very little, or when he moved quickly moved to around to the same place that it was before.

    I assumed that maybe it's just that my computer has been used too much memory or something. But then later, it no longer responds. I restarted my computer and the same problem, it does not move.

    Before anyone suggests, I in fact checked all the settings for it. I know there is a shortcut (fn + f9) to turn it off.
    However, I already checked and it is activated.
    I am falling quickly with this computer, six months old and already had two problems with it.

    Anyone can suggest a way to solve this problem, or should he be returned to be repaired?

    If it must be returned, how should I do this?
    I bought of Dixons, and when I came down to them with my last number, they said they have no responsibility and I had to call "the tech guy".

    This ended up being A £1.50 tech support number overcharge, which I'm not call again.
    This laptop has only 6 months, clearly under warranty. I don't have to pay who knows how much on a phone call just to get it fixed.

    Sorry if this sounds like a hangover, just in a bad mood with this computer at the minute.
    Thanks for any help! =-)

    Hello

    I see that you're desperate. Sorry to hear this story.
    But before you send this laptop to any point of service, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    This procedure will put the laptop to factory settings!

    If the touchpad does not work after reinstalling new contact ASP in your country.
    The service provider authorized in your country will be able to help you and if your warranty is valid, everything must be done for free.

    I can't believe that the appeal could cost about £1.5 because it s a common phone number.

    If you want to find the ASP please check this:

  • Alarm of battery low battery/criticism on Equium A100-027

    I bought an Equium A100-027 running on Vista Home Premium this Feb. Since then, I installed some software, for example a software phone Nokia, bluetooth, Virus-A drivers & all updates from Ms.

    When the battery is low or critical, I get no sound alert, despite this option checked in the Advanced Power Options settings and using the template to default sounds Win.

    The card sound & speakers work certainly I get sound notifications of Win and can play CDs, etc.

    Is there a driver/software that can be reinstalled to get this working again as system restore would only let me go back a month.

    Hello

    I saw your post before, and I understand that you need help.
    I can give you the following suggestion:

    -Updated to the latest version of the bios. (Check this site out: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp?service=EU&mode=allMachines)

    -Pick up your machine and update all THE drivers/tools/etc, but before installing some 'foreign' software, check if the "beep" is working properly (for things like go here):
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp)

    -Install other software (Nokia Manager, etc.) and check after each newly installed software, if it still works. If after you install specific software, the "beep" doesn´t work anymore, then you know where the installation problem and you have some good software troubleshooting. ;)

    If you have questions: just after :)

  • Two issues of Vista on my Equium A100-027

    My HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new 1 and installed with Vista
    Thing is that Vista will not accept the key that is located on the underside of my Equium A100 - 027 (PSAAQE).

    Another thing is, I can't seem to get my memory card reader to work again.
    I downloaded all the drivers I could find on this site and install.
    However, the player still does not.

    Ideas please

    Thank you
    Andy

    OK, I managed to get the SD card reader works.
    The vista issue just now.
    Perhaps, I installed the correct version of Vista.

    Do I need an OEM version or something?

    Thank you
    Andy

    Hello Andy

    Nice to have you here.
    The button located on the bottom side belongs to the image of the installations of Vista that you have with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that can be used to activate each installed Vista OS. Unfortunately, it won't work.

    If you use Vista, to work well the OS and all hardware components, you need to install all the available drivers, tools and utilities. I checked the download page of Toshiba for your laptop model and you can see the Instructions document facilities. This document will help you set up everything correctly. It is important to install stuff all available according to this order of installations.

    Have you installed Flash Media Driver and Utilities of SD?
