Satellite 2430-101 is compatible with 100 GB HARD drive?

Dear comrades,

I immediately bought a Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100, 100G of HARD drive.
Can I use this HARD drive with my laptop Toshiba 2430-101? Has anyone had experience with this combination?

Kind regards

No, you cannot use the 100 GB HARD drive.
As far as I know the laptop supports following three HARD drive sizes:
-30 GB (4200 RPM)
-40 GB (4200 / 5400 RPM)
-60 GB (4200 / 5400 RPM)

More large hard disks could not be recognized by the BIOS.

    Hope any 1 here can help me

    Thanks a lot steve!

    In general you can swap the HARD drive or update it with more a (ability), but the installation of recovery should work. It is important to use compatible HARD drive for certain system.
    I did several times in the past. No problem at all.

    After HDD change the value of the BIOS default settings and start recovery installation using created the recovery disc.

    Start your laptop and when you see Toshiba welcome screen pres F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
    When the menu is displayed on the screen, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive.
    In the menu choose you CD/DVD and press ENTER.
    Installation of recovery should start.

    Please do so and send feedback.

  • Satellite 2450-101: can I run recovery external HARD drive or USB key using

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite 2450-101, on which the DVD player seems to have failed (could be engine, laser; uncertain).

    I want to perform a full restore of the product, using both disks that came with the computer.
    Defective hard drives before, I copied the data on these disks to an external hard drive and a usb flash drive.

    Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?

    Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. See you soon.

    > Is it possible for me to run the recovery of the proceeds of one of these media (or indeed any source, other than the internal DVD player)?
    Hmmm I doubt that this can be possible because it is not possible to boot from a USB flash or external HARD disk drive.

    What you could do is to copy the folder the original Microsoft CD i386 on the HARD drive and then you can run setup.exe from this folder.
    It would begin installing the XP installation program.

    But Toshiba Recovery disk contains only image files and there is no i386 folder and therefore, you need the CD of XP Ms.

  • Satellite Z930 - suspend the problem with connected USB hard drive

    Hello

    Owner of a newly acquired Satellite Z930-15 X, I have a few questions/problems:

    1) suspends the work of RAM and good hibernation when there is no external hard drive connected. If there is one is connected, the laptop immediately returns back to suspend state. Is there a solution for this?

    (2) is there a way to selectively disable Bluetooth? Currently, only toggle airplane mode is available (with Fn + F8 or Windows 8 charm bar). This activates / deactivates the Wi - Fi or Bluetooth I think.

    (3) the portable computer is wobbly on reception. I put a bit of thin paper at the corner of a bottom (bottom left) so that it can be stabilized. Apparently, the problem is also mentioned in another thread. Is there a suggestion to fhix this problem?

    Thank you.

    1 / what HARD drive is connected to your laptop? When I use the external 2.5 HARD drive with my Satellite U940 I n t have problem.

    2 / I ve tested it on my machine and I noticed the same thing. When WIFI is disabled software BT is off too. I didn t find a way how to separately control adapter WLAN and BT.

    3 / I think that this issue needs to be clarified with Toshiba service. They must check and perhaps exchange rubbers inside.

  • Recovery disc is not compatible with newly improved hard drive

    Product name: HP Pavilion DV6-3042tx laptop

    Product number: WY364PA #ABG

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit (pre-installed)

    Error message:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs.

    You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    After you run a memory test, the results suggested replacing the preinstalled hard drive. I bought a new hard drive similar to the pre-installed, but with a capacity of 750 GB rather than 640 GB and has installed successfully. I then use the recovery disks created by the recovery program to install the original OS from the old hard drive to the new hard drive. Windows started to boot normally until a message appears indicating the error message is on top. What should I do now?

    Hello:

    I would just do this if you read the MS product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    Or you can order a set of factory HP recovery discs and I hope they will work.

  • How to use on the Satellite 2430-101 S-Video port?

    Hi all!

    I don't know if I'm in the right section... I have a second hand S Satellite 2430-101 and use Microsoft Windows XP. Unfortunately I can't use the s-video output, because I do not know, how should be done. Quite simply, do not attach the s-video cable to the TV worked. What do I need to enable something in Notepad? Thank you in advance

    Hello

    As Nicky said if the unit is pre-installed with recovery CD, you can use the FN + F5 key combination and switch to the external display or TV. Check also display properties > settings > advanced > nView. Control the clone and device settings option. Under device settings, you can find the device selection option.

  • Satellite 2430-101: external USB 2.0 HARD drive problem

    Hello everyone,
    I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. Recently I bought external 40 GB hard drive. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it is said that it exceeds the limit of the power, and I need to detach the external hard drive. When I read these last questions, someone suggested to uncheck the power supply to the usb hub options, but he says always the same. They are someone to help me.
    Concerning
    Sri

    Hello

    Well, in my opinion, this problem occurs if the USB port can't provide enough power.
    In this case, that the USB hub must be connect to external power.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

    Hello world.

    I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
    I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

    I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
    The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

    THX, Philippe

    Hello

    This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
    You again is 40 GB.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

  • Satellite A100 - 065 (PSAANA) - can I spend it with a SATA2 HARD drive?

    Hello Forum!

    I want to upgrade to a hard disk of 120 GB (Hitachi) to a 500 GB (Western Digital). I don't know if this A100 supports SATA2.

    I think it's to do with the hard disk controllers that are on the motherboard. This is information I don't think (using the pc Wizard). I am very happy to use a SATA drive, if it is the one which is compatible, but if it supports SATA 2, then obviously I would install a because they are 3GB of bandwidth instead of 1.5 GB as SATA.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that my hard drive is full.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can use a SATA2 HDD without problems. These discs hard are compatible downgrade to the old SATA1 standard, so you can use 500 GB HARD drive, as you suggested.
    But don t forget it will not work with SATA1 speeds, but this should not be a problem normally.

    So have fun with the new HARD drive! ;)

    Good bye

  • Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

    I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

    Read the following thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

    What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

    Thanks in adv!

    Hello

    I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
    Why?
    Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

    To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

    So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

  • Separated from 100 GB in 2x50GB - how to make a 100 GB HARD drive?

    Yesterday, I bought my Toshiba Satellite A100-225. This laptop has a 100 GB hard drive. But when I go to "EC/workstation" I see two hard drives. The C: and D: hard drive are two 50 GB. But I wish I had just a 100 GB. I heard a little more on the partitions.

    My hard drive can be partitioned? How can I make a hard drive 100 GB of it? East - advised to do? I hope someone could help me more.

    As far as I know all the new Toshiba laptops come with partitioned HARD drive. In my opinion, you should leave it and use the second partition (D) for the backup of data. In the case that the operating system is blocking you can remove just partition C and use it to new installation.

    Expert mode on recovery DVDs installation allows you to install Recovery on defined partition image. If you have only one partition and that something is wrong that all content will be lost.

    The 100 GB is enough space and it can also be split on three partitions where the first (C) will be used for the OS and installing different applications and two others just for the data backup.

    I put t know how you want to organize, but you can do what you want. A very useful tool for HARD drive partitioning is Partition Magic.

  • Satellite A210 - 1 4 - possible signs of a hard drive failure

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and think that the hard drive may be showing signs of failure.

    _The symptoms are: _

    * While the Windows 7 boot frequently stops at 'Starting Windows' screen (before the Windows logo appeared) and all HARD drive activity stops meaning a hard reset is necessary to bring him back.

    * When I unplug the power cord on Windows 7, the computer freezes usually with nothing happens and stop any HARD drive activity, once again a hard reset is required to bring back to life.

    What are these early signs of HARD drive failure or is there something else wrong?

    Hey Buddy,

    For me it doesn t look like the HARD drive malfunction if Windows 7 stops when starting or freezes when you unplug the AC adapter

    Have you already tried to reinstall the operating system? It could be the software problem.

    If you still want to check your drive HARD uses a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. It s freeware so you can find it if you search on Google.

    Hey Buddy...

    I have bad news for you...
    The 'taken' mentioned is not taken!
    In the second HARD drive Bay, you won't find a second HARD drive connector because this motherboard does not have this feature!

    Some A200 laptop computers are equipped with the second HARD drive connector but is NOT all Ca support units? ¦

    In your case, there is a second Bay but no possibility for a second HDD. :(
