Replacement HARD drive & optical drive to Satellite A45-S1202

Can someone point me to a reader of alternative alternatives other than the CMS (100-250 GB) 5400 RPM 2.5 PATA laptop universal Hard Drives?

Can I buy from another manufacturer... If so, what readers are recommended?
I would like more that what came with this particular computer (60 GB), but the price of replacement of Toshiba seems quite steep.

In addition, the A45-S1202 came with a DVD player / CD - RW. drive.

Does anyone know of a replacement drive DVDrw/CDrw (DVD burner) that works with this model?

Any & all help is greatly appreciated!

Hello!

You can buy a larger HARD drive, it's not a problem.
Satellite A45 unknown to me but I think the bigger HARD disk should be 120 GB because the laptop has an IDE interface and the standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not recognized.
So you need a 2.5 HARD disk and 120 GB max.

I think you also to exchange the drive for a DVD burner, but if you want a new contact a local ASP. They can offer these discs.

Good bye

  • Replacing hard drive for Satellite 2450-101

    Hi, my laptop hard drive is broken and I need a hard drive replacement for my aging * Satellite 2450-101 * urgent, but I can't find my mannual and another source model support for portable computers.

    I thought it was a * standard internal 2.5 "IDE * (and thinking about buying a digital _Western 250GB 2.5" IDE hard drive 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM, model _: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_), but I am not sure.
    If anyone knows? Help, please. Thank you very much!

    I think 120 GB maximum capacity too.

    If you have misplaced the user manual you can download it on the Toshiba site:

    I founded you can use a second HARD drive in the Bay to select if you need more disk space.
    Drive external HARD is also a good solution for more disk space.

  • Replacing hard drive on Satellite M105-S1021

    Hello

    I'm looking to replace the hard drive of my laptop M105-S1021. Unfortunately, the disk hard original died on me packed and is about 6 months ago. I was quoted a couple grand to recover "perhaps" the content (no, I didn't have a backup and Yes, - lesson learned to always back up). I decided not to part with my money.

    This phone is a beast of a machine these days, relatively speaking (past 8 years). However, I don't want especially chuck and I really need for word processing and light Internet use. I do ' t present the boot floppies initial, but thought I would load Ubuntu or Mint as a BONE from a flashdrive (wahey for FREE software!).

    Been sniffing everything on eBay and discovered a true plethora of hard drives 2.5 "SATA. My question is this: do I need to stick with the original HD specifications? I post a picture of the HD but I do not see this feature available for this composer. It is a Hitachi 5v 1. 0a, 80 GB SATA, 5400 RPM HD.

    Of course, I can use another brand than Hitachi, but it needs to have the same input voltage (output? I don't know yet what this number means, but figure it has something to do with the power that there is a "DC" next to him)? Can I use a 7200 RPM to it rather than a 5400 disc? If I want to increase the capacity, can I use, say, a drive of 320 or 500 GB?

    And a question about SATA I vs II and III: I read that SATA II and III are retro-compatible and will slow down themselves if used in a SATA I machine. Is this true? In looking at all the different 2.5 "HDs on eBay and other sites, the connectors seem slightly different - the same, but some have little plastic shields and the extra bits coming out. Asked if SATA ALL connections will be adapted to all SATA computers or if they may have to be slightly modified (not the pins, but surrounding housings or housings).

    Anyway, thanks for any help and advice given.

    > My question is this: do I need to stick with the original HD specifications?
    Not really the important specification are: SATA and size 2.5
    The laptop supports a SATA controller and you use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    GB size isn t really a key you could use a 100 GB, 250 GB and a 300 GB should not be a big problem.

    Yes

    Does it matter what company it comes? I thought I got it was weird that the Satellite U300 would not transfer more easily.

    If anyone has any ideas please let me know...

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.

    If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
    I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.

    Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

  • Satellite L300D-10 q recovery DVD Can be used on the replacement hard drive?

    Hello

    I was wondering if the DVD Recovery allows to install Vista on a replacement hard drive? The original hard drive is too small at 160 GB contain all the files that I use the virtual operating system image. The disk hard 500 GB of replacement must be large enough for that.

    The reason why I need to Vista, it's that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 8.04.1 and 8.10, cause the fan to run at full speed all the time which is very annoying. So for the moment I can only use Linux in a virtual machine.

    I intend to stay with Toshiba, though, as my two latest portable Toshiba Satellite a PII and a PIII still work today, and both have had Linux on them.

    Now, back to my story, I intend to remove the existing laptop, hard drive use DVD recovery to install to external USB 500 GB disk, replace the existing hard drive in starting up the laptop from the USB and copy my data overall. Before you reformat the old drive as external storage, I will replace in the laptop with 500 GB drive and the test so I can boot from the new drive.

    Key question will be the change of equipment, i.e. the new hard disk of 500 GB prevent Vista to install or activate?

    Thank you very much

    Vista itself can handle huge HARD drive sizes, but the question is: the recovery disc will be happy with 500 GB? The laptop will recognize 500 GB?

    I think it will work very well, because the new laptops are released with 320 HARD drive. 500 GB is not far.

    Its a few trial and error unless anyone here has tested a disc 500 GB HARD themselves.

    You'll find drivers choose L70 - A short numbers and additional satellite as PSKNEE, PSKN2E, etc.
    At the bottom of the unit, you will find a label providing different numbers.
    There is also a number something like this: + PSKNEE-00D003BT +.
    It's _Model_ part number and in this case to get the drivers, you need search satellites L70 - A PSKNEE.

  • Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

    I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

    Thanks for help.

    Hello

    I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
    I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
    Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
    So, how can I put the o/s back on?

    Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
    But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

    But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
    After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

  • Satellite C870 - 1 K 1 and replacing hard drive

    Hello

    I would like to replace the hard drive of wonderful this notebook with a hard disk of 500 GB 750.
    How should I proceed with the Windows installed on the original hard drive, the migration to the new.
    I do not have a CD ROM of Windows 8, was not included when I bought the laptop

    Greetings

    If you use your laptop with an original operating system preinstalled, you can create recovery media using pre-installed recovery media creator tool. After replacing HARD drive, you can use this media and reinstall the original recovery image.

    After that your laptop will again have to factory settings.

  • A100 replacement hard drive

    I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
    My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

    I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

    Hello

    Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

    When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
    The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.

    It is not so easy to change the HARD drive on this model.
    You have to remove many parts like keyboard, screen, cover and screw a lot.
    It's a little tricky, so you should have experience with this.

    As Akuma, go to a local ASP (authorized service provider) has said. They can help you replace the HARD drive.

  • HP ENVY 14 2020NR: need a recommendation for a replacement hard drive

    Greetings,

    I have an a HP ENVY 14 2020NR with a hard drive died. Blue several screens before the new year, did a complete system restore, which seemed to have fixed things. Unfortunately, after 10 days the blue screens are back. The unit is several years old, and my next step is to replace the hard drive. I have all the data backed up elsewhere and ready DVD restore disc.

    Here are the specs of the drive:

    Hitachi disc HARD 7 K 750-750. P/N H2T7501672S.

    I am trying to identify the right replacement hard drive. Looks like it was 750 GB at 7200 RPM. Some choice out there. Can anyone recommend the correct replacement hard drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    DaniBoy

    Based on the laptop HP ENVY 14 - Maintenance Service Guide, it seems that your computer supports the following readers and more.

    6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives (HD) and the SSDS (SSD), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)
    Customer-accessible
    Serial ATA
    Supports the following hard disk configurations:
    ● 750 GB (7200 RPM)
    ● 640 GB (7200 RPM)
    ● 500 GB (7200 RPM)
    ● 320 GB (7200 RPM)

    Supports the following simple SSD drive configurations:
    ● 128 GB mSATA,
    ● 80 GB, mSATA
    ● 160 GB, SATA

    According to the above information, any hard disk 2.5 "SATA or SSD of 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm profile should work fine. This includes the newer readers who are more capacious.

    Please see Newegg - internal laptop hard drivesfor a few recommendations of HDD and Newegg - internal SSD for a certain number of decent SSD.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 - part number required

    Can someone tell me what is the part number for a replacement hard drive for Portege P2010 is? It has the latest version of the BIOS installed, if the capacity of the HARD disk can be greater than the original 30gig?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Hello Martin

    Unfortunately I was found no specific information. If I'm right, this unit needs 1.9 HDD and I think it can be much more expensive as 2.5 standard.

    Check it please this page http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database_files/Toshiba_Portege_2000_and_2010_series_spares.htm

  • 20-d113w want to: replacement hard drive

    Hi, I looked around the Board for instructions on replacing hard drive. I intend to replace the original sata drive 1 TB with a seagate 1 TB sata3 drive. I know this is probably a stupid question, but just installing the new drive and run the recovery software, or something must be done again disc before I run the software. Thanks for any help you can give

    If you reinstall from the recovery discs set, it will not make a difference.  If you use a cloning software, it may depend on the package.  If you need to reinstall using a Windows disk, it should be able to themselves deploy by asking the user questions.

  • replacement hard drive and using recovery discs made by myself.

    HPdv6 mobile 2119tx. After replacing hard drive and loading the recovery discs (which I did) successfully, now it reboot something messages cannot locate the disc or load bootable disc (sorry, don't remember the exact wording, but back to the beginning). Could this be because I replaced a 650 GB drive with a 500 GB drive.

    Hello:

    Normally you cannot use recovery on a smaller hard disks.

    But you should be able to boot from the first disc of recovery at least and see what happens.

    To do this, you must have the first disc in your dvd player.

    Restart the PC and at the beginning of your homescreen HP, tap key ESC then choose one time start in the menu.  Since then, select the DVD drive and continue.

    If the ESC key method does not work, press the F9 key instead.

    It depends on the type of BIOS in your PC (normally according to his age) which key you need to type.
