Re: How to install HDD on Satellite L300-19Y?

Hi guys

I'm not too good with computers but have bought a new HARD drive for my L-series I've been informed that my HARD drive is maybe broken due to errors when I perform chkdsk checks and the fact that it freezes and crashes randomly.

In any case, could someone tell me how to install the HARD drive? I bought an another similar to the original hitachi in the laptop, that is to say sata, 2.5 ", but got a 250 GB, rather than the 160. What I have to install anything, or have complicated everything to do? I don't know how to install it physically just don't know if I have to use my discs of recovery or something like that?

Bravo guys

Hello

There is no difficult things to do to swap the HARD drive. Which is a fairly simple process and he s done in 5 minutes I think.

I have the Satellite L300 in front of me. To swap the HARD drive, turn off the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter. On the underside, you can find the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by 2 screws. Remove the screws and the cover of the HARD drive, you are now able to exchange the HARD drive.

If you have any other questions, please let me know! :)

    However, even with what i belive to be the correct drivers I can't seem to access my wireless LAN.
    I installed most of the pilots involved, and have access to the Internet via the NIC with a connecting cable.
    It was a struggle to get even, even if I really need a wireless...

    I have some thoughts on how to activate the wireless, I tried to install the driver manually wireless but didn't get any wherever I get a code 10 XP Shutdown response.

    I've updated the BIOS, I have the latest drivers 8187b, I installed the kernel, the chipset, the display and audio drivers... etc.
    I installed a new copy of XP but you have not installed all the drivers until I know that the correct procedure...

    Hello

    You should try to activate the WLAN using the hardware on the laptop switch (must be defined on and with the combination of keys FN + F8.
    Did you do that?

    In addition, you can get all the drivers for your laptop on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    I assume that you have installed your laptop with a disc of Microsoft, so you should try it with the Toshiba recovery disc. It contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. After that, everything should work fine on your laptop.

    Check it!

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L300 (PSLB8E)

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) laptop computer and I want to install Windows XP, but unfortunately, I still get an error message after you start the XP CD (XP Setup has encountered a problem, the Setup will leave...)

    Is there a solution?

    You use the Microsoft disk to install Windows XP? Then you need the SATA drivers to install in AHCI mode or the consistent value in the BIOS but so will lose some system performance.
    In the Forum are already a large number of discussions on this subject, in order to check the threads here.
    And take a look at this: http://195.182.196.33/kb0/TSB8602DB0001R01.htm

    However, it could also be that the CD is noisy or something else. Try another disc.

  • Unknown ACPI device when installing XP on Satellite L300

    Hello!

    I had problems installing XP on my L300... I download all of the XP driver on the Toshiba site, prepare my installation CD with nLite and so on...
    But now, I have 2 unknow device in the console devmgmt.msc: seems to be the ACPI device. (ACPI/GenuineIntel_family6_model15). HAL.inf is used as a driver for now.

    But I did not find some drivers for them... Nothing in the pilot, I downloaded, nothing on the forum, I know, even 'my friend Google' has not helped me... :-(
    I downloaded the Toshiba ACPI common driver I found on opendrivers.com but always as unknow devices...

    So, I d like to know if anyone has never has this kind of problem and if he can solve it...

    Or, if someone has a wonderful idea to solve...

    Thank you!
    K.

    Could you please print on-screen device manager list somewhere? A picture can help.

    For the moment, your data: ACPI/GenuineIntel_family6_model15..., I think you need to google for a Windows XP patch to fix the bug Dual-Core. (Dual-core Windows XP Fix) It will be better if you install SP3 on your computer now that this bug has been fixed.

    Good luck.

  • How to install Sata on Satellite M70-340?

    My version of WinXP Pro does not see the HARD drive in sata mode. I read on the chipset and supports sata and my HARD drive. How can I install I do windows see my HARD drive in SATA mode. thanx

    Hello

    I'm a little confused about your ad.
    As far as I know the Satellite M70-340 has a SATA HDD and it should works with this mode. If you use the Toshiba Recovery CD so the AHCI (Intel SATA AHCI Controller) V5.1.0.1022 should pre-installed with the operating system.
    You must also install the Chipset (Intel ICH6M) V7.1.0.1014 first.

  • Modules common Toshiba is not installed on the Satellite L300-01:00

    Hello

    The common Modules is very important and I can't install it.
    My OS = XP SP2 64 bits SATA
    laptop model: L300 01:00

    There are very many questions on this topic (not the common Modules installed) and support boys don't give a solution.
    That is to say is not possible to install common & other Modules for certain types of laptops.

    These posts are good only for SEO.

    I am unable to reinstall XP again. I saw in the forum "the common Modules is very important, you should always install it as soon as possible". How long? before you install XP? This is a great stupiness.

    Thank you for using the most supportive online namely Toshiba.

    Hello Chris

    Can you please tell me what SEO?

    In any case, what about your ad? Information about the common modules are right, but I don't understand your problem with it. Your laptop is supported for Windows XP Home 32 bit edition, and you want to use 64-bit Windows. So first problem you have is that Toshiba doesn't offer tools and utilities for Windows 64-bit.

    On this point, we can stop the discussion.

    If you want to know how the works of common modules and why is it important, we talk about it too, but it has nothing to do with your question on installing WXP 640 bits on your laptop.

    I'm really surprised Toshiba Guy didn't explain it.
