• Satellite P25-S507 - HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S507, which more is under warranty and has begun to report S.M.A.R.T. errors.

  SmartMonitor reports a lot of questions especially marked as old age so I need to replace the disk. I was wondering if I can replace it with any standard 2.5 "ATA as an ATA-100 player. as the disk of 60 GB specification is ATA - 5.

  Any help appreciated.

  Maybe no one has replaced the HARD drive on this laptop because it s Autric series and is a European forum of Toshiba, and most of us have European workbooks

  But the P25 is very similar to the P20 series.
  The P20 supports an improved IDE (ATA-5) interface.

  Then you should be able to use IDE hard drives.

  If you want to use a faster disk (ATA-6 or later), then possibly the controller would have only allows the performance of ATA-5;
  ATA - 5 = Ultra DMA 66 = 4, = 6 MB/s UDMA-66 ;)

• On Satellite Pro A10 HARD drive replacement

  Hi all

  Ive currently got my moms Satellite Pro A10 sitting in front of me. Wouldn't load XP at all so I downloaded Knoppix and ran the liveCD on the laptop. After some tests, it seems that the HARD drive has failed.

  The vehicle currently has a 30GB HDD (MK3021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 T) with a rated output DC + 5V 0. 7A.

  Told me that any HARD drive would work so I ordered a replacement of 100 GB of Fuji, except its a little too long to drive HARD case and it seems to be the cause of my power light flashes orange. Rated power on it is + 5V 0.55 a.

  Im stuck, what do I do?

  Hello

  > told me that any HARD drive would work as well
  It is not quite correct! There are material limitations.

  I discovered that the phone supports 20 GB; 30 GB; 40 GB and possibly a 60 GB HARD drive.
  I m not 100% sure of more HARD drive sizes due to the limitation of the BIOS.
  You should know that not all HARD drive sizes are recognized by the BIOS.

  Further, you should take a look at the supported interface.
  The laptop supports an Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface and that's why you should buy a HARD drive that require this kind of hardware specification.

• Satellite L300-17I - hard drive replacement

  Hi, I have a few questions.

  My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300 - 17l as I have already written. My internal HARD drive is broken. He has some bad sectors, and I do not know how to isolate them so that I could use the rest of the hard disk! Can you help me and why I can't install Windows 7 on drive D, it only allows me to install on the C partition?

  And another question: my HARD drive is MK2552GSX but I can not find it on the market, so I ask is it ok if I buy a MK2565GSX? He would be able to me contruction the present MK2552GSX with MK2565GSX or it is impossible? I mean, is this compatible with my main card drive or not? and if not you know witch drives comatible?

  Thank you! :)

  Hi Dimitar,

  To be honest, if your hard drive has bad sectors it s time to replace because it s not advisable to save all data on it.

  With regard to the new HARD drive: you can install all models I think. Is important that you buy a model of 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface but each HARD disk will work so it s not making not specific.
  So, you can buy the Toshiba MK2565GSX you found :)

• On Satellite S2800-200 HARD drive replacement

  I have a Satellite S2800-200 and the hard drive just died.
  What can I replace the drive with?
  I looked at the Samsung MP0402H 40 GB hard drive, it will be ok or should it be a special player or some interface?
  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know, this unit came with 10 GB of HARD drive. I m not 100% sure if you unit supports most HARD drive. In this case, you must contact the Toshiba ASP because they have more experience in this case.

  Good bye

• Satellite A10 S213 hard drive replacement

  My Satellite A10 S213 is equipped with a MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 S (40 GB) hard drive. The disc is more often sounds strange and strong although it works well.
  But it will certainly not go long.
  I would like to replace the hard drive with something compatible and if possible with more capacity. About 100 GB would be perfect.
  So my question is:
  * Replace HARD MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 S disk with more capacity there is for the Satellite A10 S213? *
  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  I guess that your laptop supports the IDE HDD controller.
  Eventually the media controller IDE HDD only 28 bit LBA which allows you to use max 120 GB HDD.

  I think you could install a larger HARD drive.

• Satellite A210-17I HARD drive replacement

  As the title suggests, I'm an Equium A210-17I... He suffered a fall while the car was still running.
  In any case, long story short, I reflected on a replacement of Hitatchi Travelstar and saw it as a good opportunity to update my space... IE: change my broken 160 GB drive to a replacement of 300 GB +.

  Now I'm sure with all the 2.5 "Travelstar with a SATA interface?

  Any help would be awesome on the subject... Here is an example of the type of replacement drive, I thought I'd do, but I kinda scared to buy the wrong one:

  [http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Hard+Drives/Laptop/SATA/320GB+Hitachi+SATA2+Laptop+Drive+2.5%22+?productId = 34358 & page = 2 & rqcType]

  This is just an example...

  Cheers for reading!
  Your comments are welcome, because this stuff is all pretty new to me!

  Hi dude

  Yes, you will need a SATA HDD!
  The 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive would be OK.
  To avoid a problem with a 300 GB HARD drive, because the SATA HDD controller should support more HARD drive as well.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro M40: HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive for my satellite pro m40 like my old man, we broke up I put the hard drive in the machine properly and it's the same speed, size etc, but the laptop does not recognize it at all.

  I tried to swap back to the old hard drive and he acknowledges, the news is a number of slightly different model a new the original is mk6022gax and original is mk6026gax. the two 60 GB, I am told. Please help me if you can.

  Thank you.

  Hi Ollie,

  The only reason I can think is that the new hard drive is may not be configured correctly for your laptop. I know that some Toshiba drives are supplied as C - salt rather than the more usual master configuration, but these are normally reported as such on the nameplate.

  It is possible to change the setting of the drive (see the following URL for details) http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/p69067/jumpers.htm

  It is also possible that the new disk is defective (unlikely but it should be considered).

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 4360 - HARD drive replacement

  I have a SP4360 with v.nosey 12 GB of HARD drive I want to replace. In the technical specifications for the 4360 it is listed as EIDE. I looked on EBuyer and there are a couple of replacement if necessary:
  Western Digital Scorpio 40 GB EIDE LP 2.5 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache (WD400VE)
  Scorpio 40 GB EIDE LP 2.5 5400 RPM 2 MB Ns (WD400UE)
  The WD400VE is listed as ATA-100 connector type, but the WD400UE is listed as EIDE. These use the same connector and either will work in my SP4360?

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure contact Toshiba service partner. I'm not 100% sure but I think he should avoid any problems. The only question is to know if the laptop can manage with whole HARD drive capacity.

  Good bye

• Satellite L10-103: HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  My hard drive is almost dead, and I would change it.
  I have two questions:
  -A 2.5 "hard drive fits in my laptop?
  -How can I change the hard drive, is there some kind of guide?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
  The HARD drive slot, you will find at the bottom of the laptop.
  To remove the HARD drive, you should only remove the slot cover.
  (You will find the details in the user manual)

  AFAIK the device has been supported with 40 GB HARD drive
  I think you can also use 60GB and 80GB HDD without any problem of BIOS.

  Hope this info can help you a bit.

  Hello

  Well, the best way is to ask the service partner Toshiba for compatible readers and supported.
  The fact is that if you buy a non compatible drive BIOS will not recognize this device.
  I found some information on the internet and it seems these drives should work.
  Toshiba SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW and Pioneer G8CC0001L810 DVD +-RW

  But I'm sure that you'll get a drive compatible and right service in your country.

• Want to play DVDs on Satellite A40-151

  My d drive plays music CD but dvd makes just one beep do I need to play dvd CDs

  I'm a bit confused of m.
  You ask: what do I need read CD DVD

  You want to play the DVD or what?
  I put t found information on Satellite A40-151, but on the A40-141
  But I guess there is no difference between the models of theses.

  However, according to the news reader supports these media:
  CD - R (RW), CD - RW (read/re-write), CD,
  DVD-ROM (read-only), DVD-R (read only), DVD - RW (read only), DVD - RAM (read-only)

  Don't forget that you put media to DVD + t use because these DVDs are not compatible
  Also if you want to watch DVDs you must use an application like WinDVD or Power DVD, etc.

• How to change RAM on Satellite A40 - 151

  My laptop Satellite A40-151 contains 256 MB of Ram with XP. It has become extremely slow because of microsoft recent service pack updates.

  It is impossible to make this work more quickly.
  Could someone please suggest me how can I move my ram to 1 GB. Is it supported to upgrade.

  Please I guide me otherwise I can't use this system more.

  Hello

  Yesterday, the same thing happened to me. Windows has received all MS patches and updates and the laptop everything was not more usable.
  It was amazing, slow but after several hours, I managed to install all the updates and now everything works fine.

  Laptop you can be upgraded up to 2GB. This is possible. If you want to use max 1 GB I recommend using 2 x 512 MB modules.
  You use PC2100 200 pin memory (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM!

  You will find the detailed description in your user manual I hope ;)

  But I'll post here a small instruction:
  The modules are hidden under the keyboard!

  -Disconnect all cables and remove the battery
  -Slide the latch of the screen at the front of the computer to the right and open the display panel
  -Insert a thin object under the edge of the brace of keyboard and lift them from the orthosis
  -remove the 2 screws of the keyboard and a screws of the metal structure and raise the metal structure
  -Remove the keyboard carefully (the keyboard is connected to the card cable in water. Make sure you do not apply a voltage of this cable and do not attempt to unplug this cable!)
  -lift in the sheet of insulation left on the memory module
  -Insert a new module into the slot and gently push it downwards so that it lies flat and is fixed by two locks on each side.

  Good luck ;)
