• Can I put the HDD on Portege R400?

  Hello

  I would like to ask, if it is possible to upgrade the drive HARD internal on Portege R4OO. I would like to change my internal 80 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive to any thing with 5400 or 7200 RPM, is this possible? I think, that I have Toshiba MK8007GAH there and is 1.8 "HARD drive, somewhere I can buy 1.8" HDD at 5400 RPM or higher?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can upgrade the HDD on the Portege, but the HARD drive must be compatible!
  You have a 80 GB (4200 RPM) Slim PATA (1.8-inch) MK8007GAH) HARD drive.

  In my opinion, you can also use a 100 GB and 120 GB HDD with higher rotation. This should t be a problem.

  Check this box and come back and display the result.

  Best regards

• Can I order the disk for Portege R400 XP downgrade

  Is it possible to order XP downgrade disk for Portege R400?

  Hello

  I doubt that this is possible.
  Your Portege R400 was delivered with preinstalled Vista. Am I wrong?

  Well, as far as I know there is only one image of Toshiba for this model of laptop and it s only a VISTA 32 bit ULTIMATE.

  But of course, you could install the Win XP clean using the MS Windows XP disc.
  There is just one small problem; Win XP drivers are not released for the Portege R400 model. I didn t find on the European driver Toshiba page.

  So, you have to collect the drivers with your own hands

  See you soon

  ordered this laptop with 4 GB, but the operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, which means I can't use more than 3 GB.

  Could you please tell where to get DVD Ultimate 64 - bit Windows Vista so that I can upgrade?

  Please, can you send me an email to [email protected]?

  For now, Toshiba does not support 64-bit operating system and the drivers for Vista 64-bit are not available.

  If you wish, you can purchase Microsoft 64 - bit Windows Vista Ultimate DVD facilities and try to install it on your laptop Portege.

• The maximum size of the HDD in Portege A100

  My hard drive 40 Gb in my Portege A100 age of 3 years. just died. I was wondering how big a hard drive to buy while it will be recognized by the BIOS?

  Someone in the internet used a 60 GB HARD drive in the Portege A100 and it worked.
  Maybe a 80 GB is possible, but there is no statement official on the size of HDD supported and compatible.

  The best way is to test different sizes with a distributor of HARD drive.
  Thanks for posting a comment after the HARD drive test

• Replacement of the HDD on the Satellite A60

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The old 30 GB Toshiba HDD (MK3025GAS) died. I bought a 60 GB Toshiba HDD (MK602GAX) as a replacement.

  My problem is that I can't get the bios to see the new drive and start with it. "For the old disk bios dead says under ' built in HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14). With the new HARD drive it says "built on the disk HARD = No. Drive'."

  Using a cd, I installed Ubuntu on the new HARD drive. The ubuntu installation cd sees the new HARD drive and allows me to format it and install Ubuntu. When the installation is complete, and I try to start Ubuntu, nothing happens, and the menu of the Bios still displays "built on the disk HARD = No. Drive'."

  If I run Ubuntu from a cd I can 'explorer' 60 GB HARD drive and see all the installed files of Ubuntu. I can't boot the PC from the HARD disk or just to get the BIOS to recognize his presence.

  I'm a bit confused and don't know what to do. Ideas anyone?

  For me, this looks like a compatibility issue. Unfortunately there is no public document where we can find info on all compatible disks.
  To be honest I m really wondering why the new HARD drive is not recognized correctly. Problem, is that you can not force laptop recognize each RAM or HARD drive.

  What to do now?
  I put t think some update of the BIOS will help so I m afraid you must get a new or another HDD and test if it works or not.
  I presume that this 60 GB HARD disk was not new, right?

• Replacement of the HDD - Vaio VPCYB15AG

  Hello

  I'm looking for a new HARD drive for my Sony Vaio Y Series computer laptop VPCYB15AG. The existing a Toshiba MK3259GSXP is about to give up. It was installed by the Sony Service centre somewhere mid 2012 and now everything is out of warranty. According to his page on the Web from Toshiba site, this seems to be Advanced Format (AF) HARD drive, but no AF logo appears on its thumbnail.

  I'm usually well compatibility issues with Win 7 OS without SP1 and HARD AF drive. This laptop has Win7 Starter. I have her 2 recovery DVDs. This is based on the Chipset CPU & AMD Fusion AMD E350.

  It will be good enough to get another HDD AF (according to my understanding that existing mk3259gsxp is also good AF) or he'll always be a sure bet to get the legacy 512 byte/sector format.

  Would be nice to get more clarity / advice on that.

  Thanks & best regards.

  MMP

  The recovery disk you created should work in normal operation with the drive of 512 format. It will also restore the original and all Windows software operating system that came from the factory setting.

• Replacement of the HDD RAID5 2950

  Hello

  We have a disk failure in a RAID 5 system in PowerEdge 2950 with card RAID Perc 6i. Drive HARD original is WD SATA 7200 rpm 1 TB.

  Given that Dell sells more the original model of HARD drive, the commercial attaché Dell sold a compatible HARD drive, probably not of WD. Although it will rebuild the RAID, she said, I still want to double check here. Can we use this compatible HARD drive to rebuild the RAID without data loss? Dell ensures that replace drive HARD has the same number of cylinders, sectors, etc.? Or is it not important?

  We have simply to stop the server, swap on the defective HARD drive, turn it on and configure BIOS to rebuild the RAID5?

  Thank you very much for the review of my question!

  -Andrew

  Dell uses - and you - will send a "certified" for a replacement drive.  "Certified" made sure readers, regardless of the make and model, will work well with other certified drives and controllers from Dell.

  NEVER stop a server to replace a hot drive... If it's hot-swap, hot swap.  If the replacement does not rebuild automatically, then you can assign it as a hot spare.  This can be done in the operating system using the OpenManage software.

• Wk2 will not detect the HDD on Portege 3480CT

  Hi all, been tring this for 2 days now and I have no idea. I want to install win2k on 3480CT but the win2k installation does not detect the hard drive... It will detect WinXP, win98 detects...

  I have the latest version of the bios, I start to think win2k is in need of a driver for the reader, but I'm not finding.

  Help...

  As mentioned for install the W2k you n t need additional drivers.
  I also recommend the HARD whole disk formatting and delete all partitions.

  In addition, you must use an original CD of Microsoft W2k. I read on the net that some people wanted to use the copy of the CD W2k, but this CD is not bootable.

• Replacement of the hard disk for Equium A60-155

  I need to replace the hard drive in my equium A60-155. I need to know what is compatible with this model and if the brand of the drive is important in compatibility. For example should be a drive hard toshiba or is it possible to others.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

  It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  I found these useful discussions on the replacement of the HDD on the Satellite and Equium A60:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=22183&MessageID=81930

  Satellite A60 is very similar to the A60 Equium and so the two series use the same hard disks

• Portege R400 - how to get the fingerprint device to HDD unlock

  Portege R400 model PPR40E-00901LEN

  I've had this laptop since 2007 new (approximately). I put the BIOS and disk passwords HARD and the biometric to unlock the BIOS, HARD and Vista drive. It worked well until recently. Result of an incident when someone tried to crack into the machine, it unlocks is no longer the HARD drive

  The attacker confessed to the use of BACKSPACE to work around the footprint digital, correctly guessed the password of BIOS and going on to make several attempts to enter the HDD password.

  Now when I try to access the computer by using the fingerprint reader, it unlocks the BIOS ok, so he remembers clearly to me. However, it is not open HARD drive. Apparenlty the fact that 3 + failures to enter the master password disk HARD text forces text of this password and no biometric entry. At least, there seems to be something like that.

  My questions are

  (1) in these circumstances, the BIOS anterio-rite the biometric to forget the HARD drive password?

  (2) or is still piometric my disk HARD but the BIOS password feature is not asking him?

  (3) if 3 or something similar, so this password is always in the biometirc device, how to tell the device to provide this password?

  Please note that I can't in the BIOS right now, because do not unlock the HARD drive prevents the POSITION to perform.

  Of course, I know what I really need to do is type the HARD drive password. Unfortunately in about four years, I forgot it. I hope that I can get into the BIOS if I remove the HARD drive physically, but wonder if there is something else I should do first in order to avoid making things worse.

  Thanks to hope

• When Toshiba will replace Z930-Portege, after 3 replacements of the motherboard?

  I bought my Portege Z930 in Dubai this year and she has had 3 replacement of the motherboard. Apparently the configuration has a problem, at least for the models of Dubai (see forum related post: motherboard for Portege Z930 B113 need send to the Brazil, posted: January 29, 2014 11:40)

  In Europe, they advised that Toshiba should replace, but in Dubai's local service provider advises another motherboard replacement!

  How can I do to request Toshiba to provide me with a slight i7 8 GB RAM 256SSD equivalent model, because living in the same configuration does not work (it takes only a week and a month for the motherboard down).

  Please advise,
  Thank you

  It s doesn't know only not for me that an entire book could be replaced by Toshiba in case of hardware problems.

  Usually in case of hardware problems, the authorized service provider should be able to solve hardware problems, replacement of the defective part.
