Portege R600-101 - new hard drive internal

• Portege R100 and new hard drive

  I think to put in a larger capacity internal hard drive - 40G is now a little bit :(

  Does anyone do this? The traps? Any suggestions on compatible drives?

  TIA

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Portege R100 supported a HDD IDE controller.
  So you will definitely need an IDE HDD. I think that it s a 1.8 IDE HDD.

  I think the HDD IDE controller supports only the 28-bit LBA and it would mean that there would be larger than 120 GB hard drives not recognized.

  That's why I choose smaller hard drives.

• Portege R600 - exchange of HARD drive

  We are very impressed by our new R600-S4201, among the first to be released in the American market. But we would like to exchange an SSD for the 160 GB conventional hard drive. CSR Toshiba says that we can do it - that it will not void the warranty - but unfortunately the disassembly procedure did not he still Manila.

  R500 instructions do not help the R600 is a unique piece, with only applies for memory, etc., but not for the hard drive.

  We have removed all the screws (really ALL), including the screw of one side, but the background is not 'free '. It is hung up by the projection of the ports, etc. on the eSATA (side not the DVD). It is too thin and fragile to take a lot of strength, then we're stuck.

  It seems that the background should move outwards if he wants to overcome these obstacles. We should remove the top panel, paved touchscreen and keyboard, but there is no obvious way to do it.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  AFAIK swap the HARD drive, you must remove the cover on the bottom side.

  On this laptop it s a little more delicate and you need to remove a large number of screws to exchange the HARD drive. If you go to a local ASP and ask a technician for help.

• Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

  Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

  Any advice would be very welcome
  Thank you

  I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

  I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

  Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

  If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

  Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

  I hope that you have succeeded.

• Portege R600 - how to install XP on a new HARD drive?

  I did the mechanical installation of a new hard drive and it's correct.

  Now, I want to install XP - Vista not. However, nothing I've tried will allow the BIOS to recognize the new drive. 'Alternative media' drive of Toshiba XP should include the SATA drivers, but it does not work.

  What did I miss?

  Hello

  Do you mean the new HARD drive is NOT visible in the BIOS or the new HARD drive is not recognized by Windows XP Setup?
  Those are two different questions

  If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS, then you used the disk HARD is not compatible.
  But if the HARD drive is not recognized by installing XP then you have not installed the SATA drivers that are packed in the Intel Storage Manager.

• Portege M400 - new HARD drive retains the old HARD drive password?

  I have a Portege M400 and I want to move my current hard drive with a new one.
  My current hard drive is password protected (I know the password).
  My questions are:

  If I switch to a new hard drive, a new retains the old password or not?

  Can I use the old drive with an external enclosure as an external drive, or it is impossible?

  I already tried to delete the password for hard drive with the methods presented on this forum by going into the BIOS, but version 3.8 has no option to remove the HDD password and I think that it is impossible to remove it.

  Please answer only if you have experience in cases like this, I don't want to spend money on the new hard drive and not be able to use as primary.

  Hey Buddy

  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=141590

  You can remove the HDD password (if it s you known) in the BIOS.
  In the field "User password" tab and just enter the old password. If you do want to set the new password, and then press "Enter".

  See you soon

• Portege Z830 - where can I get the new HARD drive

  Hello

  I have problem with my toshiba portege z830 ultrabook.
  My HARD drive died, and I don't know where I can get the new HARD drive.

  I've got guaranteed but I am forgotten registered my cell phone before when I went for repairs not authorized, because my first problem was with the motherboard.

  This motherboard has been replaced for new ones.
  If my warranty is maybe cancelled.

  Well, that's my problem to another.

  What should I do?
  Please help me. I am available to do anything.

  Hello

  I think that you should first check if your warranty is still valid.
  This can be checked on Toshiba Unitdetails page:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/

  Where the warranty is valid, get in touch with maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for replacement.

  But as far as I know the Portege Z830 was equipped with an mSATA SSD drive.
  This means that the laptop doesn't support HDD 2.5 common but requires special mSATA SSD drive module.

  In case your warranty is not valid, you will pay for a new mSATA module.
  Replacement should do a service provider authorized Toshiba as well because this replacement is a little tricky on this model of laptop.

• Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.

  I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
  Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?

  The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
  Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP.

  Hello

  AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
  This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).

  Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
  If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.

  I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

• new hard drive on dell inspiron 1545 no boot sector on hard drive internal

  Hi, need help, bought a new o drive HARD 500 GB, to replace my old one o. 320 Gb but impossible to reinstall win7 64-bit sp1, it gives me the following message "no boot sector on hard drive internal"

  Hi Carosopo,

  The reason why you get this error is because there is no boot sector on your hard drive. You must install Windows 7. Let me suggest you to follow the installation guide for Windows (link below). The first step is to start on the Windows installation disc.

• Portege R500-11Z: recovery disk to help prepare a new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive (SSD) for my R500-11Z and I put in an envelope with the USB cable before installation - I want to be able to format the drive and create a new copy of Windows XP before you get out of my existing hard drive.

  I'm looking for ways to use the recovery disk and it SEEMS that it should be possible... EXCEPT...

  I discovered that on the recovery disk there is an executable called recoUNPACK in the Tools folder, which should, in theory, restore the contents of the disc to the hard drive. However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time, and then survey the error - System Volume Information already exists.

  Any person proposing the deletion of the folder should consider their knowledge of the XP - there is no way to do this, ask Mr. Google if you don't believe me. I also tried this with full of this folder write permissions so that, in theory, could replace recoUNPACK...

  I would be very grateful if someone knows a way of "forcing" crush the System Volume information folder or another way to 'restore' the recovery of my new hard drive disk (other that disassemble the laptop and substitute physically the disc!).

  I have reviewed various options for establishing a USB bootable drive, but as I will adapt it in my laptop I don't want running all versions of XP - so using the recovery disc supplied with my odd R500. All bootable USB I can find only programs, fat32 format, and I would stay in NTFS...

  And the reason why I want to do it this way, it is that I want to continue to use my existing hard drive until the news is ready - its supposed to be an effective way to work... but so far the time wasted, trying to restore the disks could have been better spent undoing the screws on the rear of the machine!

  Thanks in advance

  > However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time and then lift the error - System Volume Information already exists

  Hmm the right path and the letter of the partition or volume entitled did you use?

  As far as I know that the command should show something like this:

  + recounpack.exe d:\imagename.tpa z: f +.

  (z: is the letter of your external USB drive and may be different in your case)

• Portege 3500: OS crashes after the new HARD drive update

  instalator blue screen starts normally (from recovery CD or OEM CD) and when partitioning is startis - system is stopped...

  HARD drive is ok - tested on another laptop
  Laptop is ok? instalator and works windows, tested on 2 HDD (40 and 60 GB, two IBM)

  It is possible, that this new hard drive is not compatybille with this laptop?

  Please help, because it's my boss laptop :(

  P.S. - sorry for peut English

  Hello

  Are you sure that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?
  Seems that the laptop does not support the new drive (100 GB, 7200 RPM).

  Perhaps because of the large size of HARD drive and the fast rotation value.
  I would try to use a 60GB 5400 RPM a 80 GB HARD drive maybe works but it seems that the 100 GB HARD drive is not compatible

• Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

  Hello world

  I need help here.

  My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

  I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

  I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

  After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

  I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

  Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

  What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

  Concerning

  John

  OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

  If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

  Model No.: m7-j010dx

  Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

  Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

  Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

  User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

  With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

  When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

  A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

  Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

  I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

  After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

  The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

  UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

  Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

  SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

  So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

  Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

  The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

  I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

  If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

  If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

  Conclusion:

  I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

  But then again, I know.

• Satellite C660 - compatibility between motherboard and hard drive internal

  Hi, I have a problem with the compatibility between the internal (1 terabyte) hard drive and installing windows 7 pro.
  I broke my old internal hard drive (320 GB) and I bought the new hd (1 tb), but during the installation it says that w7 cannot be installed on this new hard drive.

  Can my pc motherboard (serial number: 3B071014k) support the new hard drive (serial number: wd10jpvx)?
  and if the answer is 'yes', how can I make it work?

  First of all the question has nothing to do with the motherboard and HARD drive compatibility.
  If the HARD drive is visible in the BIOS (first page), the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS and HARD disk controller.
  In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized, you will need to replace this HARD drive with another. I guess the smaller size of the 2.5 SATA HDD THAT would be taken in charge (500 GB)

  However, in case the HARD disk is visible in the BIOS, you should be able to install Windows 7.
  Before starting the installation, you must format the HARD drive and should create the system partition.
  For this procedure, I recommend to use some tools such as partitions for example: GParted
  GParted is a freeware Linux tool.
  You can create a bootable USB key in order to start the device using GParted:
  http://gparted.sourceforge.NET/LiveCD.php

  Then, you should be able to format the HARD disk and create partitions.

• Satellite Pro P100 - replacing the HARD drive internal

  I have a Satellite Pro P100 with a concert of 60 internal HDD and would like to replace this with a 250 or 320 GB drive.

  Anyone can suggest a way to imagery of the current drive and copy this back to the new drive without having to re - install the operating system and other installed software?

  I have a couple of USB 2.0 external drives with sufficient capacity.

  Hello

  You first need to know if the more drive HARD 250 GB or 320 GB would be compatible and if the BIOS recognize this HARD drive without major worries!
  The problem is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.
  Then all first check if the new HARD drive are supported!

  You ask how to get all the files on the new disk? I recommend good reinstall the OS from the recovery CD. It would be to reinstall the OS, drivers, tools, utilities.
  If you have other files such as mp3, etc it then backup to the external USB HDD.
  Then you could connect this HARD drive to the laptop and could transfer it on the internal HARD disk.

• Satellite M30x - new HARD drive does not work

  Hello.

  I am installing a new ATA 2.5 "internal hard drive for my Toshiba M30X-166. The drive is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120 GB model. The laptop does not recognize the disc and no related error message appears, and in the BIOS, it shows as "HD not available."

  I put this drive in an external USB - IDE enclosure and was detected by my desktop PC, and I was able to partition and format the Momentus, so I know the drive is indeed work, but my M30X still does not detect the drive.

  What can I do to make the laptop recognize this unit? The BIOS M30X is: Phoenix EAL20 version 1.90.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello!

  Have you tried another HARD drive? The new HARD drive is may not compatible with the laptop or does work does not correctly.

  Normally, a 120 GB HARD drive should work because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
  In the worst cases, the HARD disk on the motherboard controller is defective :(

  Good bye
