Satellite 1130-z24: is Seagate momentus 4200.2 80GB HDD compatible?

Hi all.

I'm moving the 20 GB HARD drive to a 80 GB one, but the new drive is not recognized in the Bios.

The drive model is st9808210a.

First of all, I took an image of the disk using Norton ghost. Then, wrote nine hard disk image by ensuring that it has been set to be bootable. And the drive is not recognized.

Am I missing something? Is there a limit of capacity on the bios? (bios is newer)

Thank you.

Simon.

Hello

It seems that the BIOS cannot recognize the disk properly due to the size of the HARD drive.
The laptop comes with a 20 GB HARD drive and I guess that the hard disks of 80 GB are not supported. Unfortunately, I put t found detailed information on the size of HDD supported, but in my opinion, you should be able to use a 40 GB. Perhaps also of 60 GB HARD drive.

  • Satellite 1130-z24: upgrade hard drive question

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite 1130 - z24, which requires a new hard drive, the old man is a MK2108GAP of 20 GB but I want to set up a larger capacity drive. What is the record of the maximum size that I can use without any problems of compatibility?

    One of the following players would work?

    MK6034GAX 60 GB
    MK8026GAX 80 GB
    100 GB MK1032GAX

    I searched on various forums and websites, but the only information I can find is that the BIOS will not support the discs above a certain size, but I don't know how it is.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    I think that good old classic supports IDE controller.

    The IDE controller manages max 128 GB HDD due to support of the 28-bit LBA.

    So in your case, I would recommend choosing a HARD disk that is not longer than 120GB
    so, theoretically the 100 GB MK1032GAX should be compatible

  • Disassemble a Satellite 1130-z24

    How do I disassemble the TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1130-z24?

    There a lot of dirt (Brown cotton wool as stuff) inside which vacuum cannot get rid of (as its off), but I want to disassemble clean the fluff, re - assemble and use the laptop.

    I took out all the screws (I could see) under the laptop it but still no joy, the case will come out.
    Charge down the user manual, but who does not tell you how to proceed.

    Is there a technitions manual I can down load so he can tell me how to take apart safely.

    Hello

    Disassembly manuals can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.
    I didn t think not and I guess this manual are created just for a Toshiba authorized service partners and are not released for public use.

    You may find some photo or details from the internet. Google is your friend always ;)

    But generally speaking, it s really complicated to disassemble the laptop and I would not recommend doing this if you n t know how proceed.

    Of my knowledge on most laptops the keyboard must be removed first because there could be a few screws that immobilize the other parties and covers.

    Sorry, but I cannot provide more details, because the Satellite 1130-z24 is unknown to me

  • Hard drive for TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1130-z24

    I just bought a 2nd hand TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1130-z24 portable

    But he has only a 10 GB hard drive.

    The BIOS sees a 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB or 160 GB HDD?

    Is the IDE?

    Hello

    I doubt you could use bigger hard disks of 128 GB because of the 48-bit LBA.
    The laptop seems to bear an IDE controller but the 48-bit LBA is supported since 2001, defines the ATA-6 Ultra DMA/100 (also called Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100)

    I think that your IDE controller support 28 bit and that is why you should choose less IDE 2.5 hard drives.

    I just bought a 2nd hand TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1130-z24 portable

    What wifi card can I use with it.

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop supports a Wlan miniPCI slot.
    So in this case, you should be able to use miniPCI WLan card that supports the 802. 11b standard Wlan.

    For example Wireless LAN Mini PCI card (2, 4 GHz, 802 11 b) PA3212U-3MPC should be compatible!

  • Problem with hd satellite M40-155 (PSM40) & Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM

    Hello to all Toshibians,

    I recently upgraded from hd (origin: Toshiba 100 GB 4200 RPM) in my M40 - 155 (PSM40) satellite with a Seagate Momentus 100 GB at 7200 tr/min/8 MB cache.

    I work in the area of music production and after much advice I realized that I needed a faster HD to maximize the number of audio track (working on projects of audio tracks of 40 +).

    This Seagate hd has been installed in a computer pro shop.

    When you go to work, after you have reinstalled all applications, I noticed everything was surprisingly faster navigation, at the opening of the applications in CPU resources that I use for music production, BUT there, I had some real wicked behaviors of the computer: BEFORE the new installation of hd, I managed to open very large projects, I work currently on and AFTER the installation of the hd , I noticed the reading has been bit sluggish UNTIL I have NOTE WITH the AUDIO-APP OWN CPU METER THE CPU A VA WILD AFFICHANT QUICKLY CHANGE the VALUES OF the USE CPU 25 to 85% to 40% to 99% goingfrom NOT STOP CAUSING the INNACURATE READING.

    I tried ALL audio applications I need to see if it was not related to a particular program, but NO: the problem is general.

    (I did every possible scan with windows tools, my bios is up to date, I do not have the virus, there is still a lot of space on the disk, I defragmented the hd...)

    So, I have a HD quality much faster and decreases performance?

    I already e-mailed seagate, but am waiting for a response.

    This situation is urgent, because it is the only computer I have and use professionally on a daily basis.

    What could be the problem? Anyone of you has experienced a performance problem during the hd upgrade? Is there something I could do to fix this? Is there a program that could solve this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Best regards

    Hello

    Sorry, this is a very special issue.
    I can only suggest what's wrong or why it occurs.

    The fact is that the new HARD drive is much faster. In this case, the CPU must manage more data and processes.
    Well, I put t know if it helps to solve your problem, but I recommend you change some settings in the performance options.
    Go to control panel and system. Choose the Advanced tab.
    Check in the second Advanced tab that the use of planning and the memory of the processor is assigned to programs. In addition, you can check the virtual memory settings.
    You can increase virtual memory, or you can set it to the size of the managed system.

    Are all this advice, and you should try it but I m not 100% sure if this will solve your strange problem

    There is unfortunately no official document how dismount/mount your Satellite. In my opinion the best solution is to contact the Service of your country partner.

    Hello world

    Never done this before, are looking for the part number or a screen for the z24 1130 above

    help please.

    Hi michael,.

    In my opinion, you should contact an authorized service provider. Why? Guys can you tell the exact part number and order a new replacement screen for you. On the Toshiba site, you can search for them.

    Alternative look on eBay. Here you can often get second hand spare parts. The screen is an expensive item so maybe you have a little luck on eBay.

  • Satellite 1130-Z24, how to get the service manual

    Does anyone know how I can get instructions on disassembly of the laptop, or a repair. I suspect that my motherboard is damaged, because he gave recently and now does not power upward, although when it is connected to AC power, the light on the front of the NIP, indicating the power happened to her. I wonder if it could be the power button is damaged?

    Hi Chris

    In my opinion it of not so easy to disband the unit because there is very little electronic parts on the map and you need to be an expert to find the failure.
    In this case, you should ask the service partner for a more detailed description.
    However, I found only a manual for this machine. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    > but I have to contact Toshiba to see if there are known issues.
    Just for your information: here it s just a forum for a user to without any Toshiba technicians so I put t someone can tell you about known issues. ;)

    In any case, I don't see a reason why the player should not work. It of very important that he s 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface.

    You should try it. In the worst cases, it won't work, then you can return to the store and buy another ;)
