Need new hard disk for Equium A100

Hello

I want to replace the 80 GB HDD of my A100 for something big.
I'm guessing it's a SATA, I'll need?

Nobody knows what is the greatest, my laptop can handle without any performance?
Just to confirm that it is a satellite A100-027

Also, I literally get out the old one, stick in the new and then load Windows XP on it? Is it really as simple as that :/?

Hello

Yes, the A100 Equium supports the SATA HDD controller and so you will need a SATA 2.5 HARD disk!

> Also, I literally get out the old one, stick in the new and then load Windows XP on it? Is it really as simple as that :/?
Yes, the upgrade of the HARD drive is not difficult.
In most cases, you will need to remove the HDD from the laptop's HARD drive Bay, then switch the HARD drive bracket to the new HARD drive, then insert the new HARD disc again in Notepad.

That s it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

    It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

    I found these useful discussions on the replacement of the HDD on the Satellite and Equium A60:

  • Impossible to reinstall Vista on a new hard disk for Pavilion dv9700t

    Hello.

    Recently, the hard drive on my Pavilion dv9700t (p / n: KL086AV) began to fail.  So I bought a new hard drive and created the recovery disc (I didn't realize that I had to their creation until now, but I got lucky and my computer handed her long enough to do so).

    However, when I installed the new hard drive and tried to launch the recovery discs, I received the message, "this PC is not supported by system recovery disks.  You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    I have vista 32 bit, my old hard drive was 320 GB and a new one, I bought is a Seagate 500 GB.

    Through researching this problem, I came across different answers.  Some say that the size of the hard drive must be the same, others say recovery discs do not work on a new drive hard unless a special action is taken by a technician, and some say that there is no problem at all.

    I can't find any consistent information on this problem.  All the tips, I would much appretiate.  Thank you in advance!

    Hello:

    Sometimes the discs just do not work.

    I have not met a problem where if you have a bigger drive they don't work, but if you get a smaller drive as an SSD, so it's almost a sure bet that they do not work.

    As I see it, you have two choices: buy a set of HP recovery disks, if they are available and hope they work.

    Or if you can read your Vista product key on the sticker COST MS 25 characters on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disc.

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  • Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

    I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

    I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
    It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

    In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

    Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

    See you soon.

    A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

    A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • Pavilion p100dx: need to HARD disk for my pavilion p100dx configuration

    Hello team,

    Recently my hard drive of the laptop broke and now I need to replace my hard drive P100DX Pavilion.

    To do this, I want to know the configuration of HARD disk as

    1. 2.5 or 3.5
    2. What is SATA or SATA-no?
    3. SATA is compatible for it?
    4. What is the size of the HARD drive that needs to be? -height, length and width.
    5. Seagate HARD drive would be compatible.
    6. pointers for the HARD drive to buy.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's a laptop HP Pavilion 15-p100dx ?

    http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c04463224

    If Yes, then

    1. it uses standard 2.5 "HDD.

    2. it is a SATA HDD,

    3 SATA III (or 3) and SATA II (or 2) is compatible.

    4. all standard HDD laptops would use the same width and length, thickness (hright) can be varry slightly, but your laptop supports 7 mm or 9.5 mm. Better use 9.5 mm because you don't need a frame fill to increase his height.

    5. Yes, HP doesn't produce HARD drives for laptops, it uses Seagate, Toshiba and a few other brands.

    6. you can buy in any computer store BestBuy or Amazon, Newegg...

    Kind regards.

  • Need info on type of hard disk for Satellite A100

    I have a model of Satellite A100 (PSAA9E)

    It used to power up, but I need all the info on the hard drive, which models are compatible (plug-and-play style) so I can buy a 2nd hand laptop and use my old hard drive
    (assuming this is possible)

    Thank you

    In Satellite A100 a SATA interface HARD drive and if you want to use the data you can simply buy box USB HDD and connect it to any PC or laptop as external device.
    So you will have full access to all the data stored there.

  • Partition of hard disk for Equium L350 - 10L

    Hello

    I am a new owner of a L350 - 10L. Loading the files from the laptop, I was told that I had run out of space. Investigate a bit more it seems I drive hard havea partitioned. I think that I expect that the "valorisation" of files are stored on the hard drive. But the size of the partition seems a little odd to me. The disc has a pertition to Vista and a called E:\Data being 54.5 GB in size.

    Question - can I safely reformat the hard drive? Should I run the Setup again. This seems a bit odd. Is there a reason for the size of partition?

    Kind regards
    Paul

    Hello
    I have the same laptop. Download GParted LiveCD and boot inside. Then resize partition D:\ lower then resize the partition above C:\ with unallocated space. Is not wipe your data.

    Hope this helps,

  • Satellite A200-1QK - need new HARD drive for upgrade

    I was planning on upgrading my A200-1QK (320 GB of HARD drive).

    I was looking for a HARD drive with more space and possibly with more speed, I work with the composition and recording of the audio mixing software and libraries tend to consume a lot of space (I know that an Office would be the best option and I have one, but sometimes I need a more portable solution). I even thought connecting the BONES a SATAII external 1 TB HARD drive but I don't know if it's possible.

    Well, but the question here is:
    What are the technical proprieties that I should look for in a HARD drive so it works on my laptop?
    Y at - it no avaible 7200 RPM for laptops? I'm looking for some 500 GB or larger.

    Thanks in advance =)

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but it produces more heat and need a little more power as a 5400 RPM model. So it of your choice what you buy. ;)
    You can buy each portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA or SATA2 connector. If you are looking for a small tray on online shops, you should find enough hard drives of 500 GB at 7200 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Western Digital hard drives.

    I need to buy a new hard drive for my external 1.8 "store 120 GB steel box.
    The model number on this external hard drive is PA4136E - 1 HA 2

    What is the model of reader that is in them, is MK1229GSG.

    Hello

    I think (but I m not 100% sure) the enclosure supports SATA interface.

    But if you remove the internal HARD drive, then you will see the description of the HARD disk on the label.

    I think that you need a HARD SATA 1.8 for the speaker.

  • New hard disk dive on Satellite C855-29N

    Hello

    I have a breakdown of total hard drive with my laptop Satellite C855 - 29N 64-bit Windows. I ordered a new hard drive for replacement. My problem is that although I did back up disks of my damaged disk before it failed, I fear that these disks will not work for the new hard drive.

    I would appreciate your advice on what I need to do to reinstall the operating system and any contact: e-mail, phone numbers or any other useful tips.

    Thank you very much.

    Why not? Recovery media created has no limitation. Many people Exchange original HDD with the most recent or even SSDS. I did the same thing and I installed after Exchange, original image of recovery without any problem.

    Just, without panic. ;)

    Exchange HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install the recovery image using recovery media created.
    If please post comments and do not hesitate to ask if you need help.
