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

    Could someone please advise how do I replace the internal hard drive on my old z25 1130 (satellite).

    Thank you

    I don't have this old machine but check it please if you can find the HARD drive cover on the underside. If so, remove it and you should have full access to the HARD disk.
    Try to get this old IDE (I think) HARD drive and swap it.

  • Satellite P100-332: Upgrade HARD drive and 4 GB of RAM

    Hello

    I'm new to the forum...
    Well, I want to change 2 things on my Toshiba Satellite P100-332

    1. I have 2 GB of RAM at 533 mhz and I saw on Everest, as well as on the information that I put up. 4 GB RAM 667 mhz. If I want to ask if theres no limitation about to use a special brand of RAM? Or can I use any laptop RAM to 667 mhz? I buy 2 DIMM 2 GB 667, to stay with 4 GB RAM 667 mhz.

    2 - my laptop came with a 4200 RPM ATA hard drive and I want to know if I can change my hard drive to another as one with 7200 RPM SATA as a http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=7434 and I have not seen yet if the Board supports, but does anyone know if I can put one like this?

    Hello

    (1) the Satellite P100-332 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB and you can also use the modules of 667 Mhz because AFAIK the FSB supports 667 MHz also.
    But the fact is that Windows 32-bit (Vista and XP) would see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

    (2) the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this is why you must use a SATA HDD. But usually it s no matter if the HDD SATA supports the 7200 RPM. In my opinion, you should be able to use these 7200 RPM HARD drive.

  • Satellite 3000-100: upgrade hard drive

    I would like to replace the original HDD 20 GB of my Satellite 3000-100 by a larger, preferably 80 GB.
    I can replace it with any hard drive 2.5 "EIDE or are there restrictions (BIOS?) on the brand, size etc. ?
    Is the replacement easy to conduct, or the risk of damaging the laptop?
    There will be problems with the Windows ME product recovery CD or install it on a larger hard drive?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello

    Well, this unit is a little older. As far as I know, the HARD drive is under the keyboard.
    In this case, you will have to remove all covers. Unfortunately, I n t find any detailed documents related to this procedure.

    But I know that at the bottom of the device, you can find the modular Bay. This allows you to add an additional hard drive. I found some information that you can use a 30.0 GB HDD modular Bay.
    In this case, you can use two hard drives of your laptop.

  • Satellite 2410-304: upgrade HARD drive

    News, I have a laptop Satellite 2430-304 with a MK3018GAS of hard drive (30 GB). I would change this hd for one of them, MK4026GAX, MK6026GAX and MK8026GAX. The dimensions are the same, 2.5 ", 69,85 mm, 9.5 mm, 100 mm. could I choose one then no problem? Thanks, Javier Lido

    Hi Javi,

    I swapped the MK3018GAS in my SA30 for a MK8025GAS without any problem at all. I think the only difference between the 8025 and the 8026 is the rotation speed (5400 RPM against 4200 RPM).

    I don't think you should have no problem.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro L10 (PSL15E) - hard drive is faulty

    First time poster.

    I'm trying to get the laptop working above and I think that the hard drive has failed.

    Is the question I have, I can replace it with a hard drive with a capacity greater than the 40 GB drive currently installed? Is there a limit to the size of the hard drive that can be installed?

    Any information received with gratitude.

    Thank you

    discostu

    Yes, you can upgrade HARD drive. If I m remembering it well, it's old HDD with IDE connector inside and you can improve it with 60 or 80 GB HARD drive.

    Pick up some info on the available hard drives.

  • Replacing HARD drive questions

    My laptop is as follows:

    HP DV6-1355DX

    Windows 7

    OEM HARD drive is a WD 5000BEVT p/n: 499040-002

    Other posts in this forum, I'm certain that my laptop HARD drive has failed.  I found multiple suppliers for the exact same HDD, but I know that the technology has changed since this particular laptop was bought there are 3 1/2 years.  That being said, I really have no idea on HARD drive except for their purpose.  So my question is can I replace/upgrade HARD drive with a different manufacturer/model?  If Yes, what manufacturer and model do you recommend, and other that physically remove/replace, what would I do for install (software) to make this new feature of HARD drive properly in the laptop?  I have a system recovery disk.

    Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who can offer sound advice and will take the time to help me.

    Thank you for your help.  If I change a bevt a different HARD drive, do I need to worry about drivers or other aspects to do work, or just install and use the recovery discs I have?

    No, you don't have to worry about this. Version BPVT supports the Advanced Format Technology that should be more reliable than technology in the BEVT discs...

  • 6400 upgrade Hard Drive just SHRUNK... Once again!!!

    First of all let me state that I am ready to throw my computer and TWO 2, TWO Yes upgrade hard drives out of my 2nd floor window!

    OK, my wind is done, for now.

    I have an Inspiron 6400 with HDD 80 GB of origin (73.1 GB space.)  I wanted to go to a Western Digital 250 GB hard drive.  I bought the drive and cloned it.  My first attempt was a purchase Norton Ghost program (after the $150 for the reader, that's another $50 for the program) I cloned it from the laptop via a USB - SATA connection.  Everything seemed fine, until I swapped hard drives.  He got through the BIOS, no problem, then started to windows.  Immediately, it projected blue and that was that.  Swap return original hard drive, everything OK.  Put old drive in the spare computer/SATA slot and realized that the reader shrunk to 73.1 GB. . the SAME SIZE as the original drive.

    After days/weeks and literally probably 5 to 6 hours of troubleshooting, downloading about 4-5 programs, utilities, etc, and have EVERY single utility, test and program otherwise tell me the car was very good (less the fact that he was now 170 GB smaller) I thought that drive was simply bad then returned.  (After fighting with Tiger Direct, I had to return it directly to WD, but they at least sent me a replacement unit before that I had to return the first...  (where my 'two' drives))

    So I have the new, 2nd hard drive in hand and I say to myself that I would be the clone differently, from my desktop (Dell 690) who had a few ports SATA spare on it.  I cloned it with a different program and once again, everything seems to be okay.  It showed in my office.  This time, I've set manually the new disk partitions to what I end up with.)

    So I put the new, larger, cloned drive in the computer, booted and BAAM!  Exactly the same thing.  Blue screen stop...  And guess what... The drive is now 73.1 GB. . and once more, there is nothing I can do to bring back to 250 GB... any computer, software, utility, etc. I throw at it or throw it out in...

    Back to Western Digital... but this time, I don't know yet what to say or how to proceed.

    My questions are:

    1. What is happening and why I can't get a 250 GB drive in the machine.  (I can't find ANYWHERE a maximum limit of hard drive)

    2. any thoughts on how to get my drive to the correct size of declaration?

    I'm really steam it... I have never spent so much time on what should be a simple question in my 15 years and more and about 20 + systems of computers through my hands...

    Thanks in advance

  • 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

    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!

  • Block of power SUPPLY or AC adapter for Satellite 1130-z24

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

    He came without a power SUPPLY or charger power.

    Apart from Toshiba own PSU, can I use a universal laptop charger which is compatible with other Toshiba laptops?

    SATELLITE 1130-z24 will cap size similar to that used on other Toshiba laptops.

    Hello

    As far as I know the universal AC adapter part number: PA3165E - 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz, 75W with DC 19V output would be compatible.

    Just Google for certain online offerings.

    On this path, it is not easy to tell what the problem may be, but in my opinion, there is a problem with electronic control gear. I put t think you will be able to fix it myself and I recommend you contact technicians.

    The only thing you can try is to remove the battery, connect the device to the power plug and try to start the device.

  • Satellite A210-ICO - what HARD drive I can use?

    I'm getting bad sectors on the hard drive of my laptop, so I guess I should pay for a new one – but who are able to A210-1CO?

    TA, M

    Hello

    Satellite A210 uses SATA hard drives and you need a new HARD drive with SATA interface. You can buy each HARD drive you want, for example 160 or 320 GB. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    In addition, most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its compatible downgrade to SATA1.
    I would have preferred a HARD disk at 5400 RPM. Of course, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but they produced more heat and noise. For most of the applications are pretty 5400 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  • Firebird 802 - upgrade hard drives - Solid State / hybrid anyone?

    I'm upgrading hard drives on my Firebird 802 (the part the WEAKEST of my Firebird and the SMALLEST score on Windows Index). I replaced the drive secondary with a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at 7200 RPM (ST950042 4AS) and REALLY improved performance (I have my file on the secondary drive).

    It's now time to upgrade the MAIN disk. I'm looking at a "Hybrid" car A Seagate ST95005620AS Momentus XT 500 GB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3 Gb/s.

    Has anyone tried upgrading the main drive of a hybrid? For a solid Sate drive?

    Thank you

    Enzo

    Well WELL, @ 10:39 PM PST after FOUR and a HALF and TWO attempts of the hybrid drive WORKS as my main drive on my Firebird 802!

    Using the data transfer software CMS Bounceback ($14.99 per download) the program was missing several files that were essential for the computer to boot. Once I checked the transfer journal and moved the files myself IT BOOTS!

    THUS, in a few weeks, I'll post the kind of increases in speed that I experience. First comment, my drives are running @ 98 degrees F. It's HOT, so I'll have to come back a fan for the hard disk enclosure, in fact, you can put at the front of the box and jump through this background grid. Going to put in place tomorrow. Now I'm BEAT!

    Thus, it CAN BE DONE on your Firebird! Solution, HERE!
