  Hi Tim,.

  The hard drive on your SA30 is in the optical drive, but slide the optical drive out of its housing (undo the F5 marked screws on the bottom of the laptop).

  The hard drive will be visible fixed with four Phillips head screws that need to be removed (two on each side of the hard drive. With the removed screws, gently slide the hard drive toward the front of the laptop to disconnect its connector and carefully pull it out of its Bay.

• Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

  I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

  1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
  [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
  How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  Hello

  You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
  So what s the problem?

  Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
  The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
  The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

  Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
  If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
  If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

  Best regards

• Satellite U400 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite U400-PSU40E. I put the HARD drive password to test this optoins in BIOS. It woks fine. After that, I remove the HDD password, but when BONES start to start the fist show me black sreen with password and when push enter Os start at startup.

  How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

  Hi iliyan_84,

  You only set the HARD drive password or another password too?
  Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

  Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

• Satellite M110 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Need to replace my hard drive because the original is f & % $ ed.

  I tried to connect the original hard drive from my other laptop via a USB cable to Sata, but it does not appear. You can feel it spinning. I was able to do a test of HARD drive on it and it failed in the Toshiba via a bootable CD. Since I can access the drive HARD to get to the recovery section, which is the best way to reinstall windows XP on it, so I can use the original XP key on the bottom of the laptop. As I know that you usually have the right version or OEM windows copy in order to use certain keys.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Would also be a Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD1600 8 MB 160 GB 2.5 "SATA Hard Drive fit for the Toshiba because they are all two SATA.

  Hello

  Your ad is a little confusing... What HARD drive you use in what book now?

  If you want to install the OS on your old/new HARD drive, so you can use t a converter USB SATA. Therefore, use it as internal drive HARD.

  In addition, a HARD of Western Digital drive would be appropriate due SATA port. :)

• Satellite C660D - 1 3 - How to remove the HARD drive password?

  So, my laptop is unrecoverly dead ;(
  (Toshiba Satellite C660D - 1-3)
  but the HARD drive still works (Toshiba HDD2L04 320)
  the problem is, I protected with a password that I can not turn off.

  I have the password, I could also save all my important files to an old crappy HP laptop running.

  But now I'd like to use it as an external drive, I can't as long as it is protected (I tried a few PC, nothing worked).

  When I try to disable it in the BIOS of the old HP, it asks me on a second password, a password for the master user... but I've never had one in my Toshiba :/

  What now? What I have to go to a store and try an another Toshiba or is it a tool to disable the password of windows or linux?

  Hello

  Unknown HARD disk password can not be removed... even the authorized service provider Toshiba will not be able to remove this password disk HARD unknown.
  In this case, the HARD drive will be useless

  Take a look at this FAQ from Toshiba:
  Is it possible to delete a HARD drive password?

• Can satellite M70-337 - I put the HARD drive?

  Hi all,.

  I have a Satellite M70-337, the vehicle currently has 40 GB of hard drive. The laptop has served me well and I want to upgrade the hard drive 100 GB +, anyone has done this?

  If Yes please advise on the type of hard drive required and their availability. I have 2 GB of RAM and want to run Windows 7 on this computer.

  Hey mate,

  Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive why not? :)

  AFAIK Equium M70 already use hard drives with Serial ATA interface. This means that you must buy a 2.5 HARD drive with this interface.
  For example, a 120 GB model should work!

  In my view, it is irrelevant, what type (manufacturing) that you choose. There is no major differences, but I have good experiences with Western Digital.

• Satellite A100-237, which is the HARD drive more big, I can install?

  Hello!
  Can you guys help me. I have the Satellite A100-237
  I would like to buy a new HARD drive (250 GB or 320).
  What is the largest HARD drive can I install in this laptop? I couldn't find any info about it.
  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  The point is that there are no details or info on HARD drive sizes compatible max.
  If we can only speculate.
  Is the laptop seems to support SATA hard drives and in my opinion one 250 GB or more should work.
  But this is only a personal opinion, and it would be very interesting to know if a HDD 320 would work too.

  Please post some comments after you have upgraded the HARD drive.

  See you soon

• How to reformat the hard drive and do a "clean" install

  A recent virus attack, my computer has lost some files of the operating system.  With the help of the Lim has provided the recovery disk, which offered ' upgrade/repair' or a 'new installation '.  I chose ' install new ', actually I found many of my files are still there - that means that if a virus has escaped "Detection / removal" will always be there.

  Question: How to reformat the hard drive and do a 'fresh install' on a clean hard disk "? ". (I have a drive to Win XP with service pack 3 and a driver disk for the hardware installed on my computer of the regulations.)

  Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

  In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

• Upgrade the hard drive or consider a new ThinkPad?

  Hello

  I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R51e with a 40 GB hard drive. I'll soon be at the limit of ability, and I think to upgrade the hard drive.

  My laptop is under warranty until May 2009, says I guess some of you maybe understand my dilemma. Even the technology IBM says it was a difficult call. He suggested an external drive, but I really wanted to do as it would go against how I personally use my laptop.

  He gave me a 80 GB hard drive part number 13N6709 (it is the biggest hard drive I can go internally with the R51e) which will cost me $261,00

  I tried looking for answers to these questions, but the more I read more my head began to spin.

  There are a few questions (with the help of the people in this forum) I'm eager to know before investing more money in this laptop.

  Do I need other parts to install the new HDD?

  The Pro Windows XP was preinstalled by IBM/Lenovo. It will recognize my serial number to install it?

  All my recovery disks will still work with the new hard drive? Or do I have to buy a new game?

  I'd be better to just buy a new laptop?

  If, therefore, for those knowing what are the features that are on the R51e IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad would get the most bangs for the bucks?

  I'd appreciate really no knowledge that any of you can give me.

  Sincerely,

  Kat
