• Satellite A300-1BZ - 2nd location on hard disk?

  Hi friends

  I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I don't post under the good discussion!

  First of all, I wanted to know if a 2nd HARD drive can be added to my Satellite A300-1BZ (PSAJ4E-03L016KS)?

  If this is not possible, no one knows what is the largest (gigabytes) compatible HARD drive that can be installed on this laptop?

  Finally if one of the above options is available to what type of disc HARD would I have to install (size) & I would be limited to the use of a mark of toshiba HDD?

  Any comments would be appreciated!

  AFAIK the A300 supports SATA HDD and usually there is no limit!

  Theoretically, you can use all the available 2.5 SATA hard drives.

• Satellite 300-214: SD-R2002 drive recognition failure

  Using a 300-214 Satellite, which has developed a problem where it won't recognize anything in the modular Bay.
  It wasn't a problem, when I could select RUN and view the content.
  Now the SD R2002 double DVD/CD even cannot be run from this.
  It starts to spin when a disc is inserted, but the computer then comes with a driver failure.
  I reinstalled the driver but he then said that it lacked the mscdex.exe in BACK.
  I download and responsible but not good.
  Have you tried an external CD drive on the machine, but the computer will load the software but does not recognize the hardware.

  I want to use for recovery back to the original state, but of course, this requires a cd player.
  Any ideas on how to get any computer to recognize the drive in the modular Bay, or a way to use the recovery?

  Hello

  The Satellite 300-214 is an oldie.
  On the Toshiba driver page I don't think a lot of drivers for this laptop.
  However, I assume that you are using Windows 98 and you want to use the drive in DOS mode. Am I wrong?
  Well, you suggested that you reinstalled the driver but it lacked the mscdex.exe.
  First of all, you need the right mscdex.exe and two files autoexec.bat and config.sys should have good entries.

  For example config.sys:
  LASTDRIVE = Z
  DEVICE = [PATH] [drivers] .sys/d: [device name]

  [Drivers] placeholder for the device driver name (i.e. CD524.sys)
  [device name] the internal name of the CD-player (i.e. mscd001)

  For example the autoexec.bat file:
  c:\dos\mscdex.exe/d: [device name] / l: [drive letter]

  [device name] - the same entry as in the config.sys file

  I would recommend checking the google for more detailed information.
  You will find lots of useful Web sites.

• Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

  Hi all!

  Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

  I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

  What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
  The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

  Can someone help me?

  I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

  Thank you!!!

  If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
  Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
  On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
  > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

  But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
  Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.

• Problems of 7250us dv7 HP Envy 2nd installation drive

  I recently cloned my 1 TB HARD drive for an SSD (500 GB) or basically restored to it using Acronis and it finally worked, but then I tried to install the original drive 1 TB in the 2nd Drive Bay, but when the 2nd connector is plugged into the second location of SATA, the power button does not work.  I pull the plug and the power button is working again.  I couldn't find anything in the BIOS you have to start to recognize the second disk.  Clues?

  Thank you

  Wendell Fry

  It must be a short power into this connector, I think you're right. If the cable is connected somehow it shorts to the Commission.

• 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro P200.
  Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

  As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
  When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

  I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• 2nd hard drive for the Satellite Pro A200

• Discs of recovery, or vanilla Windows Installer on Q770 and 2nd HARD drive

  The Qosmio Q770 need to reinstall windows,

  At thining use the disks of recovery, or just vanilla win 7 and then add drivers, I need.

  issue with recovery disks it will affect the 2nd hard drive because that's where all my data?

  Thank you

  LoonyT

  In my opinion, you must install Windows using the original recovery disk. It is much easier and you do not install all the drivers, tools and utilities. All this is included in the recovery image. After installation of recovery image simply configure OS and you can remove applications that you don't need.

  I force test but I m pretty sure second disk will not be changed, just the main hard drive so your data must be secured. You can make backup anyway.

• Re: Satellite A660 - 2nd HARD drive instead of the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I found a few solutions to this problem ([solution | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=7&chapter=0]), but none of them are dedicated to A660.

  There is no device dedicated to tosiba a660?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I know Satellite A660 can't stand not a thin Bay select only some models like the M400 Portege, Portege M750, Tecra M9, Tecra S3 or S4 Tecra, Portege M700 support this feature

  So 2nd HARD drive instead of the CD/DVD drive does not seem to be possible

• No satellite P770-111 no SATA cable to connect the 2nd HARD drive

  Hello!

  I bought by Satellite P770-111 3 days and was hoping to insert another HARD drive that I had in my old laptop.
  OK, I opened the plastic cover on the bottom side of the laptop and there are 2 slots of HDD (2.5 ") but a single HARD disk.
  A HARD disk that is currenty in the laptop's big 500 GB. I would like to install another, but there is a problem:
  There is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.

  Basically, there are 2 slots hard drive but only a connection interface. Could you please tell me how could I install a 2nd HARD drive?

  Thank you in advance!

  Damjan

  > there is no cable to connect it to the motherboard SATA.
  The fact is that not all laptops of the same series of notebook models are equipped with the same motherboard and controllers of same.
  This means that even if there is a second HARD-drive Bay, you will not be able to use a 2nd HARD drive. You know

  The chassis is the same in all models of laptops but there are different motherboards and not all supported 2nd controller.

• Satellite L855 - 12G and 2nd hard drive

  Is it possible to eventually put a 2nd hard drive of my laptop Satellite L855 - 12G?

  Thank you

  Hello

  When you remove the memory cover on the underside of your laptop, you will see that there is only one available HARD drive location. There is no place for the second HARD drive.

  If you need more capacity, you can exchange original HDD by another. Of course, you can use external HDD or USB sticks.

  Some people try to remove the optical disk drive and put the second HARD drive here using special HDD bay but the problem is that many of them have stated that this second HDD was not recognized correctly.

• Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

  Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
  The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

  The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

  Ideas for a work around?

  Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
  In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
  "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

  > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
  The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
  The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
  Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

  This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
  This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

• How to check if the 2nd HARD drive is possible on the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7?

  Hello

  My A200/PSAE7 has a 200 GB HARD drive. For backup reasons, I would like to know - or learn to know how check - if my A200 already have the hardware support for a 2nd HARD drive, next to the slot for a 2nd HARD drive.
  In the BIOS, I see 'Toshiba MKxxx - hard drive' and 'hard drive - None '. Is the last entry in the BIOS is a sign that a 2nd HARD drive is supported and has to be put in the second location of HARD drive?

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Best regards
  Andreas

  You can do the following:

  Open the cover when the 2nd drive HARD so-called must be installed and check for some SATA connectors or cables. If there is an unused SATA connection so you can upgrade, if no, then you will need to backup your data on USB - HDD or whatever.

  If in the BIOS is something now, he won't say that he is physically present.

• Qosmio G20-139: need help with 2nd HARD drive installation

  Hey fans of tosh.

  I'm using WXP MCE any help received with gratitude, keep in mind, I'm no expert actually I'm a fool to the village that of been inbreeding so take me through in easy to understand steps that even I can follow.

  Cheers in anticipation

  Hello

  That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
  I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

  Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

  It worked well on my laptop.

  By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

  Have a nice day ;)
