Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

Hello

It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

Greetings

  • Satellite A10 won't boot up - bad sectors on HARD drive

    Hallo,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A10
    Model No.: PSA10E-018EZ-DU

    The problem is that you comp. won't start.
    There are some areas of bad or damaged HD
    I ran chkdsk a few weeks ago, it has helped but now there are still problems.
    If chkdsk is running again.
    Is there a better program to check your HD or should I do something else?

    A new HD?
    What kind of HD am I looking for?
    is a HD for a nootbook oke?
    Or are there restrictions for a HD satellite A10?

    HEY Kees,

    There are other utilities that you can use to check your hard disk (Norton Disk Doctor for example) but CHKDSK is as good as all the others.

    If you get repeated hard disk problems, then this is a good indication to a new hard drive. I suggest you try to backup your data even if you can't always. I'm not aware of any restrictions on the ability of any hard drive that you choose for your A10, but it must of course be the same as your existing drive form factor. You can also consider using a drive with a speed higher than the original drive.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

    Hi all.
    New here.

    Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

    Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

    Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
    If so, what is the limit?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Mike

    Hello!

    Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

    In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

    Good bye

  • Satellite 2610 CDT: what is the maximum capacity of hard drive?

    Hello

    I want to add a new hard drive to an old laptop Satellite 2610 CDT. However, before buying a new drive, I want to be sure that it will be properly recognized by the BIOS. The operating systems (Win 2000 and Debian) I will use can handle large capacity disks, so that they are not a problem here.

    How can I determine the maximum capacity of the hard drive that will be recognized by the BIOS? The BIOS supports LBA-48 address?

    Thank you very much!

    According to the specifications of the laptop computer supports a 6 GB HARD drive.
    You can try with 10 or 12 GB of HARD drive.

    These hard drives are cheap and I don't see any risk with the upgrade. Test it!

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

    My age Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20 GB HARD drive. These are now very difficult to obtain, does anyone know if superior capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of the HARD drive.

    (Despite his age that I always use the Satellite Pro for some jobs).

    Hello John

    Satellite Pro 4600 is old enough for laptop and it is not easy to find the exact info. The fact is that this laptop comes with 10 and 20 GB hard drives.
    My opinion is that you can use 30 or even 40 GB HDD. I think that 30 GB new HARD drive should be enough for your some jobs.

    What do you think?

  • HP Notebook: the new laptop HP hard drive partitions

    In my previous PC, I split the drive into 2 partitions: 1 for the OS and the other for my data, so that I can made the recovery of the operating system without losing my data. Do the same thing on my HP laptop? How can I do? And, if I managed to create 2 partitions of the hard drive (1 TB), 1 for the operating system (windows 10 Home) and the other for my files and data, I'll be able to recover the operating system? Sorry for the bad English and I thank you.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    When you look at the player on this new laptop, you will see that there is already several partitions on it - because it is very probably in the GPT format, not the MBR formatting you are used to.

    That said, you could reduce the OS partition to add a partition of data, as you did in the past.

    You must use a tool of partitioning for this, which one is this: Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition free

    As for power, then later use the HP Recovery Manager - probably not.  While it might work, one of the first things that is completely reformat the hard drive and will erase everything you have saved on this subject - and it will reformat the drive to match the original settings in the process.

    Good luck

  • Portege M400 unable to find the new 320 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm moving my 80 GB HARD drive to a new WD 320 and research questions. Although I've updated the Bios with the latest version of the disk hard is not down to any operating system when it is in the main HARD drive Bay. The weird thing is completely visible in the removable Bay. Is this a configuration issue, I am missing or is the machine not reconise the 320 GB drive because that is the essential motivation?

    Any help or pointers would be great

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    In my opinion, your new HARD drive cannot be recognized because of the size of the HARD drive.
    The 320 are simply too. I think that the laptop would be able to use a 100 GB or 120 GB of HARD drive but the 320GB are not supported.

    So change your disk of 320 GB to a smaller size and try again.

    Good luck

  • 3110CT: BIOS recognizes the new 20 GB HARD drive

    Just installed a P002608, in a protected 3110CT 20 GB hard drive, now, the BIOS will not recogize the new hard drive.

    Hello

    I think that you will not be able to use this 20 GB HARD drive on this good old classic.
    It seems there is a BIOS limitation and this big HDD will usually not recognized by the BIOS.

    Remember that the Portege 3110 (P311E) has been delivered with a 6 GB HARD drive!
    There is a huge difference between the 20 GB and 6 GB of HARD drive!

    In my opinion you should try other drives that support a smaller size

    It is not impossible that the new disk is bad, have seen before. It is also possible that the controller sata on the motherboard is bad, but I'd watch this last possibility. You can get an Exchange on the new hard drive?

  • Image portable HARD drive for transfer to the new computer portable HARD drive on the same laptop

    Location:

    Laptop was to receive the new HARD drive more big;

    Configuration is complex and has a lot of data and SW engineering.

    Own re - install would take too long.

    In operating systems earlier I just created an image, installed the new HARD disk and restored the image.

    In Vista, it does not. New HARD drive with image does not start. (Partition is correctly selected as active)

    Tried other methods, including Robocopy but without success.

    Sysprep is the right solution? If so, how will this affect users profiles and installed applications?

    Thank you

    Paraxis

    Hi Paraxis,

    Whenever we use the system image and restore from it, the hardware must be same, as has already been made to backup. The hard disk partition should also be in the same size.

    You can use Sysprep on your computer and check if that helps you solve the problem.

    Preparation system (Sysprep) tool is a technology that you can use with other deployment tools to install Windows on new hardware, operating systems. The Sysprep tool prepares a computer for imaging of disc or delivery to a customer of the configuration of the computer to create a new computer security identifier (SID) when the computer is restarted. In addition, the Sysprep tool cleans up user-specific and settings specific to the computer and the data that should not be copied to a destination computer.

    I'm out on this one.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

    However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
    If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
    If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.
