Replacing a drive HARD on Satellite L40

All greetings!

Replacing a hard drive! Greetings broke a hard drive, before there are clicks.

There is a 120GB, 250GB hard drive in my laptop Satellite L40, I put.

Operating system has created an applied Toshiba drive. Activation of Vista has not required. But she sees the volume of a 130GB disk where got more 120 GB?

Your offers. Probably to fix this?

Thank you

Hello!

First of all, what Satellite L40 do you have exactly?

The BIOS recognize the 250 GB or only 120 GB under Windows?
Check if you have the latest version of the BIOS.

Maybe the Satellite L40 does not support hard drives of 250 GB, but in the user manual, you can find more information.

Good bye

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite C850

    I found this Toshiba on Youtube video that shows how to replace the hard drive on the C850.
    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=0550V-181d0

    It helped me a lot, because there is NO entry in the user manual on how to replace it and where the hard drive can be placed.

    They show you where is the memory, but not where is the hard drive. WTF? so, this video tells you it's in the same slot for memory.

    Hello

    Yes, I also noticed that not all information can be found in single user manuals.
    However, there are many other sources to find essential details.

    Toshiba Europe youtube channel seems to offer a lot of useful videos to replace the HARD drive, memory or a drive CD/DVD in the different laptop models.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite C series

    Hello

    I want to replace and upgrade my hard drive internal sata, what is the maximum size that I can install which will fortunately be recognized by BIOS / chipset?

    Hello

    SATA controller isn't limited to a specific size of the HARD drive.
    Generally, you can use 2.5 SATA HDD support any size (250 GB, 500 GB, etc.)

    But have you considered using a SSD drive? I prefer SSD drive, even if these discs are more expensive. The performance is much better and believe me; the performance gain will be noticeable.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite P10

    I would like to upgrade from my HARD drive, I have not find how proceed (which screws to remove to the opening of the machine). Where can I find explanations?

    Hello

    To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and optical drive. First you must remove the four black screws that get the aluminum shield covering the HARD drive. After that take it out.

    Gently pull the HARD drive towards the front of the computer to disconnect the system board, and then take it out. The last step is to remove the four screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

    Good luck!

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite Pro M10

    Are there requirements on what kind of HD, I can use,

    for example it does not matter if I chose one of them (not thinking of which one will be faster):
    Toshiba MK6026GAX 60GB (5400 RPM, ATA-6, 16 MB)
    Toshiba MK6032GAX, 60GB (5400 RPM, ATA-6, 8 MB)
    Toshiba MK6034GAX 60 GB (5400 RPM, ATA100, 8 MB)

    with sincere friendships.
    Vincent Jansen

    I don t think that there might be a problem with these drives.
    A HARD disk supports an ATA100. But if the controller of the laptop will not support the ATA100 laptop will not use the full transfer of performance and data on the HARD drive. That all the s, but the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive without any problem

  • Why can't replace my drive hard hp compaq 6200SFF 250gig with the largest disk

    I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier.   I want to replace my drive hard HP Compaq 6200SFF with a larger 250gig. I've done it before with other computers with no problems. I bought a 500gig drive at a local store and makes a picture of Symantec Ghost (option was image-boot) to my 250gig drive.    Then I installed the drive and started again with my ghost drive.  Normally I just launch the function of disk image restore to restore the image of the old drive to the new drive.  When I tried to do with the 6200, very well restored ghost image but as soon as I start on the new drive, I get an error message saying that "windows does not stop normally.   I never get to see the Windows Startup logo and welcome screen or something else than this black screen with white letters.  Windows did end normally when I was last using the 250 GB drive and it will power off.  I can't get the restart to go further - I just get the same error screen - there is no options or choice - all said the message is to call your service representative.  Is there something special about 6200 readers?  Do you need to do something instead of or in addition to making a ghost image?  Is it something in the bios that should reset itself?

    Thank you, Hanspuppa.  I think you have a more recent version of Acronis, I ghost.  However, I was able to solve my problem using the Windows repair disk.  I ghost a disk image (ghost - ib) of my drive hard old man and then did a ' local disk image - of ' put the image on my new drive.  I received the repetitive message "Windows 7 does not normally" but then inserted the windows repair disk and booted from it.  He finds that the boot image on the new drive was bad and repaired.  He did not cela easily - reboot/turn off many times before the finished repair disk, I had and the pc booted from the new hard drive properly.  Now, I can do this with windows 7 and the emulation of hard drive has been to AHCI.  Knit a friend and I tried to do this on an another HP6200 with an image of Windows XP. We did not have a handy XP repair disk, but we went in the settings of the bios under storage on disk and passed the SATA AHCI to IDE emulation.  When we restarted Windows message here once, we supported on enter and him went pc to boot normally.  So the problem revolved around the difference in the AHCI IDE and the boot image created by Ghost.

  • Have installed Photoshop CS4. Replaced the drive hard and now I get error code 150:30. What should I do to get it working again

    Have installed Photoshop CS4. Replaced the drive hard and now I get error code 150:30. What should I do to get it working again

    Migration of CS4 breaks the license. That's what 150:30 means. Assuming you are using a Mac.

    You can use the Terminal method to repair the license... but I stress that carefully read you and understand the instructions here before you run it. beginning

  • Can I use 1 TB hard drive on my Satellite L40?

    Hello!

    Is it possible to change my 120 GB drive hard wit 1 TB HITACHI SATA III hard drive on my Toshiba L40?
    I think my HDD is Sata II now and I'm not sure if is compatible with SATA III and the size 1 TB...

    Post edited by: Warren G

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find the official statement from Toshiba on this subject but, well I know, you can use SATA III on this old machine.

    I put t know what is the reason to use this HARD drive. You cannot use your old laptop with normal HARD drive with, say s, 300 Go?

    Hello
    I have Satellite L40-12 X with 5400 RPM 120 GB HARD drive and I would like to buy a new HARD drive, but I wonder if 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be compatible with my laptop?

    Below is the basic information, but I can't find more information about it. Polish same technical support is not able to give me the answer. So, I would like to ask if there is someone who has replaced the HARD drive in this book and what type of HARD drive I can buy?

    Andrew

    You will not be able to find answers to these questions and Toshiba doesn't offer the database page or support for certain models of laptops with a list of all compatible parts.

    If your laptop's SATA HDD theoretically there should be no problem to use 500 GB HARD drive.
    It is: so it must be exactly 500 GB?

  • Replacing the drive HARD Satellite Pro 4280

    I have a SP 4280 and the original hard drive on it does not have earlier. I bought a Hitachi Travelstar 5K 100 40 GB replacement, but I can't seem to make it work. FDisk recognizes the disc as a 40 GB drive and seems to format the drive. However, attempts to write anything to generate results in an error message "invalid media".

    Installation using XP Pro format the drive gives me an error message in the sense of "Windows cannot format the drive.

    I have attached the drive to my PC via a cable of adapter 2.5 "and it seems to work fine. I also use the latest version of the BIOS on my laptop. It is not the settings of 'cable' rider select and 0/1 on the drive.

    Someone knows what the problem is, or that I couldn't do or have suggestions to raise my drive and running?

    Cheers in advance

    Hello

    Your device was shipped with a 6 GB HARD drive.
    In my opinion, the BIOS has a few problems with the recognition of the HARD drive because of the large size of HARD drive. Unfortunately, I put t see any possibility to solve the problem.

  • Need to replace drive HARD for Satellite 2450

    My hard drive is about to die and I can't find a replacement/Exchange. Does anyone know how? References to this topic are 000601002 TOSHIBA 03152 S. Toshiba support said they dropped the product.

    Hello

    You n t need to buy especially this HARD drive device. You can buy a new one that supports the same old properties HDD Splendido.

    To my knowledge the 2450 Sat supports an enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface. In this case, you can buy the HDD IDE.

    Please have a look also to the size of the HARD drive sometimes the BIOS could not recognize the HARD drive because of the limitation of the size.

    What size did you use? 40 GB? In my eyes, you can use a HARD drive between 20 and 60 GB.

  • Replace my drive HARD satellite A110-252

    Hello.

    I read about the type of hard drive of my laptop, but my problem is WHERE IS THE HARD DRIVE LOCATED in EQUIUM A110-252? I know that it is ussually located where the battery is located but I can't see it.

    Please help me. Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I have the Satellite M70 and it's the same notebook as your Satellite A110. It is so easy to find the HARD drive. When you remove the dough on the bottom, you can see three covers fixed with screws.

    Am I right about that? For me, it makes sense that HDD is under a larger. Cover in the middle is for the RAM, and a smaller must be WLAN Card. Remove cover fixed with three screws and you will have access to the HARD disk.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Portege R700

    Hello

    I just ordered a R700 and hope to upgrade the HARD drive of 320 GB for one SSD OCZ Vertex 2.
    Is it easy to replace the hard drive in the R700? Should I remove the keyboard is a Panel on the back?
    What size hard disk will - 2.5 "or 1.8"?
    A SSD will be simply connect using existing connections, or something else there?

    See you soon.

    According to the specifications of the laptop Portege R700 has 2.5 HARD drive is HDD with SATA interface, so I think that you should order 2.5 SSD with standard SATA connectors.

    HARD drive is placed on the bottom side near the cooling vent and it is fixed with a screw only.

    Remove the screws and HARD drive. You will see how the HARD disc is placed and how it must be removed.
    It's very simple and you can do it alone.

  • Drive HARD on Satellite C660 failure

    Hello, I have a problem.

    I am owner of laptop Toshiba Satellite C660, I bought it two years ago, but I did not extend my warranty.

    Unfortunately, six months after my warranty expired, my HARD drive failed. One day he started making weird sounds and the computer was not able to start. I find that my HARD drive is broken and I need a new.

    So I ordered a new one, put it in my laptop, installed Windows 7 above (I'm a student and my University give us Windows for free). But there's this problem:

    Resolution of my laptop can be changed to two possible options: 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. I don't remember what the resolution that I had before, but I'm 100% sure that it was better, and, what is more important, it is 16:9, not 4:3.

    Another problem is that my function key (Fn) are not. So I'm not able to activate my WiFi or Bluetooth, or make my laptop into hibernation.

    Can you help me? What should I do?

    Thank you very much.

    Thanks for posting as soon as possible the model number and can check the Toshiba download page and help you install drivers, tools and utilities.
