Disappearance of CD/DVD readers seems to be all too common in the past two years. You "may" find it reappears in fact if you start the laptop once without him, stop, reinstall and start up again.

    I want to replace the drive hard toshiba with another. Can I use the product recovery cd to install windows vista? What are the special installation procedures apply for those upgrading their hard drive?

    Hello

    Yes, you can replace the hard drive with another. Make sure the hard drive fits into the machine and is a SATA drive. Otherwise it shouldn´t be a problem.
    With regard to recovery: Yes, you can install Vista just by using the recovery CD. And NO, there are no special procedures that apply after replacing the hard drive.

    That's it, I want to install nice... ;)

  • 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.

  • Replace HARD drive under warranty?

    This request is on your laptop L655 - 17H.

    I think my hard drive might start to fail, so I wonder if Toshiba it will replace, even if it is currently in a State of 'working '. I recently have slow downs and several boots failed, but this issue seems to have stabilized itself for now (the hard drive seems to have reconfigured the bad sectors). From my experience, once sector remapping starts to happen, things tend to come down quite quickly from there. Here are the S.M.A.R.T. data off the drive.

    Given that the threshold for sectors reassigned on this player is 36 (until he comes in and mark it as a failed disk) and 13 of them have been used in such a life short (less than 300 hours), I think the HARD drive in this book can be considered to be defective.

    Would Toshiba share my view and replace the drive under warranty, or what I should expect some sort of catastrophic failure before going through the motions?

    As a side note, Toshiba does not seem to be recognizing the serial number of this laptop, which is strange.

    Thanks a lot for any input,

    Gareth

    What you read here on this forum are of different opinions, but what you need is the real answer, and you can get it from Toshiba service only guys.
    They can check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.

    Make a call, explain the situation and hear what they think of this.

    What you need to do every day is the backup of data.

  • 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.

    Did you find another Satellite L70-A-xxx model on the page of the Toshiba UE driver?
    I imagine that you didn t.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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

    Thanks for your help and suggestions...
    Greetings

    Lambert (Belgium)

    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.

  • 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.

    Hannu

    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.

    Have you used any anties Virus applications?

  • Can I install windows 7 on the superdive replacement hard drive

    Hello people,

    Recently I replaced the drive of my macbook pro 13 inch mid-2012 with an adapter (caddy tray) to put in a second hard drive (500 GB todhiba).

    Now I am trying to install windows 7 with bootcamp (on an os x 10.9.5, bootcamp 5.1.2), but when I boot from the usb device, when windows ask me which drive I want to install it, it says: windows cannot be installed to this disk, drive must be formatted ntfs + your computer hardware seem unable to run windows 7 check your system components and try again.

    I've tried several things: the direct USB win7 reformat, delete the partition, create partition... still no luck.

    Of in osx: reformat the disk with unallocated space (MBR) and try again to install direct USB... had the same error messages.

    I even tried to install Ubuntu gnome rather with a live usb works but all I get when holding the option button while booting is my Macintosh HD, the drive appears.

    Can someone give me about workaround or even show me the way? I am out of ideas now.

    Thank you very much

    Simon.

  • Replacement HARD drive does not not in 27-inch imac 2012

    Hello apologies if this question has been asked and answered before.

    I've owned a Mac for many years, I'm comfortable shooting them to make any necessary repairs. My most recent Mac a 2012 13.2 27-inch iMac was a fusion player was not part of the HARD drive, the merger fell apart after the reconstruction of the merger and restore the system, the HARD drive failed this time, I could hear the sticktion in the drive so that was it. I had to put a replacement isn't a problem (so I thought) I did some research and bought a Seagate 3 to 7200 NAS drive to begin with, I thought I leave my machine on ground why not a NAS drive for the operating system.

    I had then the car adapter OWC with heat sensor, after getting the iMac apart that I replaced the drive, something I've done before on other Mac waiting for the machine to start with no OS instead, all show the iMac is the SSD it recognizes not the replacement drive at all no prompted me to format the new drive.

    I spent some time trying to figure out the problem to reset PRAM, put mode target to see if the disc looks for another mac, no luck in the terminal, the 'diskutil list' only would show only the SSD.

    I opened the iMac this time put in a Seagate HDD 7200 3TO standard before putting back together I ran the iMac with attached to another screen. It doesn't seem to matter what I put in the iMac in the car it does not recognize them, I was putting in old spare parts to see if it was a problem with the current firmware. I started thinking to the question could have been the SATA cable until I plugged the original drive in. Immediately the old disk could be seen and mounted perfectly in a last effort I got a model the same SSHD Seagate I checked is intended to be supported with this type of iMac still nothing ditch.

    I am at my wits end with this issue, it is as if the original is savvy to the system some how I read that 2009 iMacs had problem s similar I don't understand other iMac of the same model that the mine had the problem of fan speed and any player could be used. It aims to be a kind of firmware I am destined to load in the new drive.

    My options are very limited and for once I feel lost and let down by apple if it is worth $800 and $1000 to get the same 1 TB per apple apple player or as RESTful seems much this repair is already in me for $1200 (I have cracked the screen of origin)

    If any advice is much appreciated. My idea lasts is put back together and just start the operating system on an external drive to USB 3. The current SSD is too small for my image of time machine only 128 GB to restore to.

    Concerning

    digi79

    A few thoughts here.

    Is it possible that the OWC adapter is faulty or well you don't connect it correctly? http://youtu.be/iWyJxnBM-Qu Unless I read wrong looks like the original drive is recognized and original SATA cable, but when you add the adapter into the mix, it does not work?

    Have you tried partitioning and firmatting the disk before you install it? Sometimes, who will do the trick.

  • Replacing hard drive with a smaller

    I'm fixing a friends G62 (G62-B27SA to be exact).

    It keeps failing hard drive tests so I'll replace the drive and restore the system with the recovery CD

    The current drive is a 500 GB WD Scorpio Blue.

    My question is - the recovery refuses to fill out if I replace the drive with:

    a / a 320GB Scorpio blue

    b / a 500 GB Toshiba.

    I'm not sure how limited the system of specific components.

    Hello:

    You can almost count on the fact that the recovery discs do not work on a hard drive smaller than that which was originally installed.

    I do not think that the brand of hard drive will also count as long as the size is not less than the original one.

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the product key of W7 on the Microsoft sticker on the bottom of the PC, and the recovery disks do not work, simply do your own installation of W7 media and allows to install W7 on any hard drive size/brand you want.

    Here's how...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
