• 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

• 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.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Satellite 3000-100: need new HARD drive

  Hello

  I am looking for a new HARD drive for my laptop.

  I've already tired 3 different (2xHiachi, 1xToshiba MK2023GAS) HARD drives, but the Bios (latest Version 2.40) could not detect them.

  Nobody knows that suits HARD drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite 3000-100 supports an Enhanced IDE Ultra DMA66/100 interface.
  Therefore, use this HARD drive interface compatible hard drives.

  The 20 GB HARD drive should be compatible due to the fact that this device was equipped with a 20 GB HARD drive too.

  I discovered that these drives may be supported:
  PA3100U 15 GB HDD-modular
  PA3101U modular HARD 30 GB disk

  Try simply google for this part numbers and you should get a few hits.

• Satellite P20 upgrade hard drive

  I have a 20 P with 60 GB hard drive, which fills up quickly.
  Can I switch to one of the largest new HD such as

  Toshiba 100 GB MK1032GAX?

  I also guess that my standard would be IDE and I can't use S - Ata?
  The BIOs supports this size of HD?

  Thanks, Birgit (starting the computer)

  Hi, Birgit

  As far as I know just newer models of laptops have 100 GB hard drives. I had last year to P20. Nice unit.

  In my view there should not be any problems but of course try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner in your country. They have experience with the hardware upgrade.

  Please let us know if the upgrade will be successful.

  Thank you

• 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.

• 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 M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

  Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

  BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

  You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

  See you soon

• Satellite A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
  HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

  1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

  2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
  This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
  As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
  Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

  But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

  > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
  You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

• Upgrade hard drive T60p

  I have a T60p with a 100 GB hard drive.  Is it possible to upgrade to a disc of concert of 200-250? It would affect the extended warranty that I have?  How I transfer all the partitioning and special software?  Could I install the drive of 100Gig existing in the Ultra hold?

  More large currently available HDD is 320 GB, you can buy it from SME (very cheap go to MSY.COM) for about $110 to 120. If your 100 concert can be used when buying a Ultrabay Slim SATA drive adapter. All your partition can be transferred using Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image.

• 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.

• Satellite 3000-100: keyboard does not work

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000 100 laptop. It worked without any problem. But suddenly the keyboard did not work! The other keys work always. What can I do?

  Thank you, homer108 (from Germany)

  For me, it looks like a keyboard failure.
  In this case, you need to replace the old keyboard with a new one.
  The replacement is not very difficult. The keyboard is connected to the motherboard with the flat cable. To disconnect the cable from the motherboard, you'll have to open two small latches on the sides of s of connector and cable.

  However, first you must order an ASP compatible keyboard which is responsible for your country. And if you have no experience with the replacement procedures, I recommend the portable computer technician, asking for help.

  Best regards

• Satellite 3000-100: 2nd battery does not charge.

  Hi, I have just a PA3099U-1BRS bought 2nd battery internal bay for Satellite 3000-100, but he remains at 0% and will not load. I read the areas of support of the site and it says I need at least v1.90 BIOS and I 2.40 (otherwise it could have been the cause of the problem), is there anything else I can try? Thanks, Tommy

  Hello

  If I remember well enough the Satellite 3000 features of a small reset button must be pressed with a pen. Check it please and if yes put the new battery inside, start the machine and immediately press the reset button and hold for about 15 or 20 seconds.

• 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.

  Good bye
