• Portege 4000 hard drive Replacement - what HARD drive is compatible?

  Is it possible to find a replacement for my Portege 4000 HARD drive, because the original becomes very capricious?

  Hi mate

  I think that the Portege 4000 is an elder and in my opinion this laptop supports a 2.5 HARD disk.
  I m not 100% sure, so I recommend you to install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition which would provide all the information on the HARD drive is internal.
  That would help you get a new, compatible HARD drive.

  Hello!

  You can use each SATA HDD, because there is no capacity limit. So you can buy the biggest HDD 2.5 and I think that it s a 500 GB.

  You can use the product for your new HARD disk recovery disk and you will then have the factory with all the drivers settings and tools of Toshiba.

  I put t know if its possible to use an SSD, but I think that it s better to use the same technology has been integrated. So it s sure that you have no problem with your new drive.

  Bye!

• Portege 7200 - HARD drive upgrade

  I have a Portege 7200. It was just given to me. There is therefore no documentation or manuals.
  I'm interested in upgrading his old 4 GB HARD drive to something more modern. Can someone tell me what could be done to it? I mean - if standard 2.5 "HDD is Ok, is there a limitation of the motherboard/BIOS card as to the maximum size, etc.. ?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page;
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/home.do?service=EU&from=http%3A//www.Toshiba-Europe.com/

  Here, you should go to support downloads & -> user manual for Toshiba.
  In the upload form, you must choose;
  Archive-> Portege Archive-> Portege 7xxx--> Portege 7200

  Maybe you will find some info in the user manual.

  But I want to provide some details too.
  To my knowledge, several versions of BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. I mean that not every size of HARD drive is supported.
  I have goggled a bit and discovered that the Toshiba MK1214GAP HARD drive can be used with the Portege 7200. It s a 12 GB HARD drive that supports ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4 interface.

  Maybe you could test it.

• Max on Portege 3480CT HARD drive capacity?

  What is the hard drive of greater that I can install it on a 3480CT portege? can I write DVD with an external burner (USB 2.0)?

  Hello

  You will be very happy if someone can give you specific info on the maximum capacity of the HARD drive for this model of laptop. This info can give you a few specialist upgrade for laptop, but I think that 20 or 30 GB maybe are no problem.

  I use the external DVD burner too, but not ultra slim but desktop engraver special cardboard. I don t use USB. FireWire is much faster data transfer rates and I use the firewire port on my Satellite.

• Portege 4000 hard drive replacement

  The hard drive on my portege 4000 has just crashed, can someone please provide guidance on a suitable replacement or upgrade part, where I can buy one and what does this change?

  Hello

  replacing the HARD drive is not very difficult on laptops because especially HARD drive is laced at the bottom of the unit and it of only necessary to remove the cover.

  To remove the HARD drive, follow the steps below:
  1. turn the computer.
  2. remove the two silver screws that attach the HARD drive cover.
  3. lift the cover of the HARD drive.
  4 enter the plastic on the HARD disk tab to disconnect the system HARD drive, then pull the HARD drive.
  5. place the HARD drive on a flat pack and remove the four screws flat head.
  6. remove the HARD drive bracket.

  That s all :)

  PS: I think you can use 10 GB, 20 GB and 30 GB hard drives

• How to partition my new Portege Z930 HARD drive?

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Toshiba Portege Z930. I would like to create a new partition (for example D: /) on your hard drive, to store data, music, etc., and let the current C: / drive only for the use of the operating system.

  The problem is that I can't follow the normal procedure of partitioning my HD (via the Windows disc or by other software such as EaseUS Manager) because my Portege Z930 already has 4 primary partition created by default! Namely, these are:
  -1 1.46 GB recovery partition
  -1 8 GB hibernation partition
  -1 (hidden) 9.96 GB primary partition and finally
  -1 219 GB main partition

  As said, there are currently 4 primary partitions, which corresponds to the maximum number of primary partitions, I have. To create a new partition, one of these 4 must be transformed into a logical partition.

  I don't have to know if such a thing would be correct, or it would be the cause of the problems of the operating system etc. Also, I don't know which of the 4 above is more appropriate be transformed into a logical partition...
  I tried to contact Toshiba but the contact is very difficult with them.

  (1) does anyone have an opinion well informed about this?... happened... ?
  (2) I should I turn one of the 4 primary partitions above in a logic (and if so, where?)
  (3) what is the use of 4 partitions mentioned above?

  Thanks in advance for your comments,

  Hello
  Windows 7 is pre-installed on this laptop?
  Windows 7 needs the first (1.46 GB) partition to store files for the repair of the system.
  For example: in case something goes wrong with the Windows 7 system is able to automatically repair and this backup files on that partition. Don t touch!

  The primary partition (hidden) 9.96 GB seems to contain the image of Toshiba files.

  These image and music files is very important in the case where you want to create the Toshiba recovery disc (or USB) or you want to retrieve the laptop using Toshiba HDD recovery option. Don t touch if you haven't created the recovery disc!

  The main score of 219 GB seems to be the system partition. This partition contains the Win 7 OS.
  The 8 GB partition is not known to me but you wrote there seems to be a hibernation partition. Maybe its required for hibernation data.

  However, first I recommend you to create a recovery disk.
  It is an essential environment where you want to set the laptop back to factory settings.
  You can change the partitions on the HARD disk.

  In General, you can have 3 primary and 1 extended partition or 4 primary partitions.
  Extended partitions can contain logical partitions for example: private data.

• Hard drive 320 GB Seagate HDX X18T - 1200 CTO failure

  Hello everyone. I bought my HDX X18T - 1200 CTO last summer with the option of two hard drives of 320. I currently have my secondary drive failed each test disk error checking I throw at it so I know it's meant to death in the imminent future.

  Question: I have already backed up disc twice on different external sources, but now since my laptop and its equipment are still under warranty, I am trying to locate the area on the HP site where I can request a repair underwarranty. Could someone please direct me to the correct site link box?

  Secondary question: I really don't want another Seagate, but since it is under warranty I should get a new disc free of charge. However, I don't want to send my laptop in to an HP repair center, which is incredibly stupid when I can just share myself readers in 5 minutes. Has anyone asked the same thing before? HP will send a replacement and I just send them the wrong disc?

  Thanks for all the help.

  Simply, call the general number 1-800-HP-INVENT (I guess you live in the United States) and walk through the menus. Warranty service is one of the elements. On a hard drive, they will usually send you a replacement but they ask for a credit card number and they load it, then he credit when you send in the old. It is not the best system, but better than sending in the computer laptop everything. I don't think they'll allow you to specify the brand of replacement. It may or may not be a Seagate; depends on what they have on site.

• Portege 2000 - HARD drive upgrade

  I shopped for a replacement HARD drive for my trusty P2000 and finished with a MK3008GAL GB 30 I thought was an improvement on the original MK2003GAH. However, I noticed too late that the new drive sports a connector ZIF instead of the multi connector IDE - like inside the computer. Is there some sort of adapter to get out of this mess? Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  As far as I know the HARD disk can be used only in combination with original HARD drive and there is no any type of adapters. Sorry, but something like that is unknown to me.

• Portege R100 hard drive does not work properly

  Hello
  Recently, my computer suddenly started working slowly. I restarted. Then it took 25 minutes for lunch my windows xp Pro. Whenever I tried to launch an app he bugged and restarted again. After scandisk, I decided to reinstall my operating system with the recovery CD, but the computer still runs slowly. For example, when I opened Internet Explorer, I can't move the mouse or do something else while it's loading the content of the page. everything is locked.

  When I tried to run the scandisk, I have the same error (but the folder is always different) like these examples:

  1 Disk Defragmenter cannot continue prescan because there is CORRUPTION in file:
  C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\System\SCRIPTS

  2 Disk Defragmenter cannot continue prescan because there is CORRUPTION in file:
  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\OOBE\HTML\SDLMAIN

  What can be the problem? What is a virus or a hardware problem?

  Before beginning the new installation, you can try to repair the system files on the HARD drive.
  -Run CMD
  -use the command chkdsk/p or chkdsk/r.

  For more details of command, you can run chkdsk /? or chkdsk/Help

  But as mentioned above, is the new operating system installation is without danger, but don t forget to make a backup if you use important and data files on the HARD drive ;)
