Portege M400 unable to find the new 320 GB HARD drive

Hello

I'm moving my 80 GB HARD drive to a new WD 320 and research questions. Although I've updated the Bios with the latest version of the disk hard is not down to any operating system when it is in the main HARD drive Bay. The weird thing is completely visible in the removable Bay. Is this a configuration issue, I am missing or is the machine not reconise the 320 GB drive because that is the essential motivation?

Any help or pointers would be great

Thank you

Hey Buddy

In my opinion, your new HARD drive cannot be recognized because of the size of the HARD drive.
The 320 are simply too. I think that the laptop would be able to use a 100 GB or 120 GB of HARD drive but the 320GB are not supported.

So change your disk of 320 GB to a smaller size and try again.

Good luck

  • Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

    I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
    I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
    The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

    Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
    The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

    My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

    Hello

    It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
    Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

    So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

  • Portege M400 - where to find the Bios 3.80 changelog

    Hello

    is there a place where I can find the changelog of the version of the bios 1.80 to 3.80? should I upgrade?
    -do you have any experience by changing the fan? mine makes sounds that belong not here...
    -How long in your experience can take to get a response from toshiba support by e-mail? IM waiting 3 days now... :(

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I can t find a log of the changes on the Toshiba site also but why do you want to upgrade the BIOS? In my opinion a BIOS update should only be done if you have problems with your laptop or something else.
    Never touch a running system! ;)

    Before you exchange the fan you need to clean using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans, and you should do from time to time.

    Don't worry, buddy... I don't see any serious reason why would be supported not the 320 GB SATA HARD drive.
    The SATA controller must handle the tough without major problems.

    It is important that you use a HARD SATA 2.5 ". The size and speed of the HARD drive should not affect compatibility.

  • 3110CT: BIOS recognizes the new 20 GB HARD drive

    Just installed a P002608, in a protected 3110CT 20 GB hard drive, now, the BIOS will not recogize the new hard drive.

    Hello

    I think that you will not be able to use this 20 GB HARD drive on this good old classic.
    It seems there is a BIOS limitation and this big HDD will usually not recognized by the BIOS.

    Remember that the Portege 3110 (P311E) has been delivered with a 6 GB HARD drive!
    There is a huge difference between the 20 GB and 6 GB of HARD drive!

    In my opinion you should try other drives that support a smaller size

  • HP Notebook: the new laptop HP hard drive partitions

    In my previous PC, I split the drive into 2 partitions: 1 for the OS and the other for my data, so that I can made the recovery of the operating system without losing my data. Do the same thing on my HP laptop? How can I do? And, if I managed to create 2 partitions of the hard drive (1 TB), 1 for the operating system (windows 10 Home) and the other for my files and data, I'll be able to recover the operating system? Sorry for the bad English and I thank you.

    aaff00

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    When you look at the player on this new laptop, you will see that there is already several partitions on it - because it is very probably in the GPT format, not the MBR formatting you are used to.

    That said, you could reduce the OS partition to add a partition of data, as you did in the past.

    You must use a tool of partitioning for this, which one is this: Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition free

    As for power, then later use the HP Recovery Manager - probably not.  While it might work, one of the first things that is completely reformat the hard drive and will erase everything you have saved on this subject - and it will reformat the drive to match the original settings in the process.

    Good luck

  • Question about password on the new Satellite A105 HARD drive

    I am the owner of a Satellite A105 and the hard drive was failing. I got a new hard drive but before I gave up on the current one I decided to wipe it clean and a few tools to see if it was a way to recover.

    Well, when wiping clean it restarts and then he showed me a message saying "password type of HARD drive internal" or something similar. I do not know the password so I can't use the hard disk more (or is there a way to reset the password?), but before you install the new hard drive I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password.

    I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive? The one I have is brand new, and I want to know if I plug it in and from the laptop are all I have to do?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t usually know this password then the HARD drive is locked and can no longer be used.
    It s simply not accessible and it s not possible to remove this password.

    > I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password. I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive?
    I think that he should t be any problem with a new HARD drive.
    As I said the password is stored in the sector specials on the HARD drive. The old password should not exist on the new HARD drive (if the password has not been set).

  • 4540 proBook s: help to the New Installation of hard drive recovery

    I had a bad hard drive crash. I installed a new and got the bios to boot from the cd drive, with windows 7

    orginal cd of installation in the drive.  He acknowledged drive 0, I clicked again in the options. He created a system partition.

    Installed windows 7 apparently very well. Inserted the recovery driver and application and installed disk. Everything seemed fine. This morning I turned it on and it the hard drive error (3F0) Please install an operating system. I shut it down and restarted, it seemed normal.  I installed a few programs, stop it again. Returned by, it starts again and it took me to screen diagnosis saying SMART Check - not installed and short DST - not installed...  Can someone tell me how to remove that partition and I can format the drive in a usb sata enclosure and try again.

    Please tell me the correct procedure to return this laptop running to a factory State. I have the original Windows7 and Windows8, Driver and Application for the two OS disks ' are...  I want to stay with the installation Windows7.

    Thanks for any help on this problem. I have no idea where I was wrong!

    It is not impossible that the new disk is bad, have seen before. It is also possible that the controller sata on the motherboard is bad, but I'd watch this last possibility. You can get an Exchange on the new hard drive?

  • Image portable HARD drive for transfer to the new computer portable HARD drive on the same laptop

    Location:

    Laptop was to receive the new HARD drive more big;

    Configuration is complex and has a lot of data and SW engineering.

    Own re - install would take too long.

    In operating systems earlier I just created an image, installed the new HARD disk and restored the image.

    In Vista, it does not. New HARD drive with image does not start. (Partition is correctly selected as active)

    Tried other methods, including Robocopy but without success.

    Sysprep is the right solution? If so, how will this affect users profiles and installed applications?

    Thank you

    Paraxis

    Hi Paraxis,

    Whenever we use the system image and restore from it, the hardware must be same, as has already been made to backup. The hard disk partition should also be in the same size.

    You can use Sysprep on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

    Preparation system (Sysprep) tool is a technology that you can use with other deployment tools to install Windows on new hardware, operating systems. The Sysprep tool prepares a computer for imaging of disc or delivery to a customer of the configuration of the computer to create a new computer security identifier (SID) when the computer is restarted. In addition, the Sysprep tool cleans up user-specific and settings specific to the computer and the data that should not be copied to a destination computer.

    Access the links below for more information on Sysprep.
