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.

    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

  • Replacing the battery for Satellite Pro A60

    Can anyone advise where the the best/least expensive place is to get a replacement battery for my satellite pro A60, Ive. Ive left permanently plugged causing the batteries to be tired of apparentrly. If I turn the machine on at full load and nothing doing, the battery will expire in 15 minutes. Replacing the battery is cited as A £99, VAT in addition to toshiba - y at - it somewhere cheaper or better size. ?

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Carol

    I put t know where is the cheapest place to purchase the battery, but in my opinion, the offers online are the cheapest.
    You can see the Toshiba site options and accessories:
    HTTP://EU.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/CGI-BIN/TOSHIBACSG/JSP/OPTIONSANDACCESSORIESHOME.DO?SERVICE=EU&ID=ONLINE _ SHOP

    Here, you can select your model of laptop, and you will find the compatible battery.
    You didn t write about you model exactly but I think that the battery pack (Li-ion, 12 cells, 6450mAh) with the PA3382U-1BRS part number must be compatible. But check before you buy!

    In any case, you could Google for that number and I m you will find many offers online.

  • Replacing the battery on Satellite Pro P100

    Hi can anyone recommend a reputable provider in Britain of the batteries for Satellite Pro P100, is a PA3480U-1BRS 6000mAh. ?

    People like DABS.com tried but they are always out of stock.

    As usual, there are plenty of weird sites found on Google but I have never heard of them and they offer for most non-Toshiba clones which I do not know if they are all good or even compatible.

    Ideally, I'll try to find a genuine Toshiba battery if I can

    Do Toshiba to provide directly?
    Thanks to all those who can help you

    Graham

    AFAIK, you can't order directly in battery Toshiba but each service provider authorized in the United Kingdom can get the original for you battery.
    I recommend checking the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

    You can find the list of all FSA in the United Kingdom. Connect with some of them and look for information on replacing the battery, costs and delivery times.

    Bye and good luck!

  • 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.

  • Replace the drive in Satellite L500D 13 c - recommendations

    Hello!

    I plan to replace the HARD drive (5400 RPM) underway with a new, more fast (7200 RPM) HDD in my Toshiba Satellite L500D - 13 c. The question is how much it will improve the overall performance of my laptop.

    The second question is whether it's hard to replace the HARD drive in this notebook. I'm not a great computer, but I'm pretty handy in general so I'm willing to try if this isn't great risk.

    Earlier, I was thinking about upgrading the RAM (from 4 to 8 GB) in the same notebook, but it seems as if there is no support RAM Pentecost 8 GB of capacity. Anyone who has had the same thoughts?

    Any help or thoughts on this is much appreciated.

    See you soon!

    Anders

    Replacing the HARD drive is not problematic and, in my opinion, free for guests, so no risk guarantee valid for laptop for you to avoid. Check the user s manuals document. Maybe you will find a description how to do this.

    My personal opinion is that the HARD drive with a faster HARD drive upgrade is not necessary. HARD drive will be a bit faster but, in my experience, faster hard drives produce more heat too so it can happen that the Briefcase for laptop computer where the HARD drive is placed will be a little warmer than before.

    What is the reason for the upgrade of the HARD drive? Just better performance of the laptop?

  • 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.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Portege R400

    HI people,

    Can someone point me to a disk for the R400 replcacement? Those listed on www.topazsupport.co.uk is horribly too expensive, of course, I'm looking for a drive 1.8 "standard that fits this model.
    I noticed that the current HARD disk has a female connector while the disks hard most seem to have a male (I say "appear" because nobody seems to actually have real pictures of their readers for me to know)!

    Thank you

    Ferg.

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop has 80 GB 1.8 inch PATA HDD.

    To be honest I don't know what to do, you mean with standard HARD disk. The fact is that you must use compatible HARD drive for your laptop model. According to the specifications of the laptop, you can use disk TOUGH MK8007GAH. In my opinion, you need replace HD with the same model. So you can be sure that everything will be OK. I think also a capacity of 80 GB is sufficient.

    I found nice pictures for you:
    Here is the image of HARD drive
    Here you can see connectors

    At the end, I must say that replacement of HARD drive seems easy but these hard drives 1.8 are more sensitive and pressure on the wrong spot can damage the HARD drive and data may be lost.

    Do you want to replace one?

    Any tips?

    Sonaya

    Hi Sonaya

    I can understand you but cheaper battery unfortunately isn't the best solution. What you need is compatible and original battery for your laptop.

    If possible, wait a bit, save the money and buy the right one.
    When you remove the original battery, you will find the exact reference. To order a new one.

    Anyway, I think battery cheaper than you can find on ebay. Check it out and compare prices.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Equium M50-216

    Hello

    I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive in my M50-216, which currently has a MK4026GAX. The player that I am most interested is the MK8032GAX. Is this a suitable replacement, that is going to work?

    A few questions:

    1. I guess it's just a case of withdrawal of the current drive, mortising the new one and start using my Toshiba restore CD? This will reinstall the Norton junk as well?

    2. assuming I have remove the current without shape, i.e. I leave it as it is, I suppose that if I find the new drive does not work I'll be able to put the former back in and it will start like nothing happened? I'm not changing any other material.

    3. it will work as a trolley suitable for the old disk: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=414030

    4. the most important question will be affecting my current standard warranty, or assign an extension of warranty if I choose to buy a more this year?

    Can you help me?

    I also add a software problem, whenever you launch the module IGFX not gives more a mistake, how can I do to solve?

    Here is a video that will help you:

    Remove the top cover

    Replace the hard drive with an SSD, it will remove the top cover and the hard drive located in a high bay following the motherboard. It is not as easy as other models that have a door for easy access to the hard drive. While you're there, consider upgrading the memory as it is the same moiré to a chore.

    Replace the SATA drive with the SSD. You should do the recovery HP using HP restore disks and backup utility installed on the computer. Since it's so new a factory reload probably not lose much if any of your data, but you also have the ability to save that, too '
