• Satellite A100-405 - HARD 7200 RPM disk upgrade

  I want to know if I can improve the my Satellite a100-405 with a fujitsu hdd 7200 sata-II

  The original is FUJITSU MHV2160BT sata 150 MB/s depending on the Everest software.

  SATA controller is compatible and that's why it is not a big problem to use the SATA II HDD SATA I (150 MB/s) HARD drive.

  But of course the SATA II HDD will not reach full implementation and speed will be slowed to the limitation of SATA controller.

  Hello

  I want to spend my hard drive. But I don't know which model is most suitable for my computer.

  There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?

  If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.

  Thank you.

  > There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  > What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?
  The 7200 RPM drive is faster than the or 5400 RPM HARD drive. This allows read and write faster data on the HARD drive, but to be honest; in most cases, this difference is not noticeable

  > If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  No, normally you should not get any problem the two type of HARD drive are compatible with laptops

  > If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.
  To be honest, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive. The SATA controller is not limited to a capacity of HARD drive that you can take any disk of your choice

• Satellite A210-128: I want to change the 320 GB HARD drive 7200 RPM

  Hallo all

  Can someoane help me with this little problem?
  I have a portable satellite A210-128 with a hard drive of 250 G 4200 RPM (* slowest *)... I want to change the hard drive with a hdd 2.5 "Western Digital 320 G 7200 RPM (* speed *).

  Question:
  1. If I buy a disk sata2 hard can I put on my laptop because my A210-128 has a disk sata hard?

  2 can I I install vista on this new hard drive on my vista dvd, im asking this because I want to be shor that my recovery dvd * RECOGNIZES THE NEW HARD drive * and I can install a new copy of windows or installing dvd can * only works with disk drives hard toshiba *... ???

  Thank you.

  As to the question;

  (1) I think a SATA2 HARD drive would go because the standard SATA2 is compatible to the bottom. But I assume that the system will operate as a good HDD SATA.

  (2) Yes, you can install vista using the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It shouldn't be a problem with a fresh install

  Good bye

• Hard disk recovery and replacement system

  I have a laptop of 1155 ca HDX 16 running Windows 7 ultimate (upgrade of Vista) pre-installed. I recently discovered a bad sector or several bad sectors on my hard drive using many tools of diagnistics. SMART info indicates 3 pending sectors. Also, the hard drive failed the test under BIOS self-diagnose. That my computer can cope with imminent hard drive failure, I would like to replace the hard drive. Is there any HHDs with greater storage space and higer RPM compatible with this laptop? In addition, I can't create a second set of recovery disks containg my current system and settings, how would I be able to recover my data/system and how can I back up all my files current?

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  You can use the backup and recovery of Windows 7 system to make a ghost image of your current content of the hard drive on a hard drive portable.  You will also need to make a bootable CD that will give you the opportunity to do so, to access the recovery files, and then reinstall your current configuration.

  However, if I were you, I would back up all files, music and photos separately I didn't want to lose, just in case the reinstallation fails.

  Although HP doesn't show any upgrades to your hard drive, I guess you'd be sure to install a 640 GB SATA 7200 RPM up to. It's a PC pretty modern.

  You can also be on the right side and order a set of recovery disc for your laptop. They will be for Vista, but you can then go ahead and reinstall W7.  A set of recovery disks normally costs about $16.00.

  Here is the link to the support page for your laptop.  Under the "Alerts for this product" section, you can click on the blue link indicating "how to order recovery disks.

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  Is there a solution?
  is that what the recoverable data?
  If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robbo88

  As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
  Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

  If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

  Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

• Satellite Pro L650 - hard disk is not initialized.

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 and I am having some problems.

  It all started a few weeks ago, I received the dreaded screen black death (windows could start, but then just came up with a black screen and a cursor. After playing well, I thought that a reinstall of windows would do the trick.

  It worked, but none of my pilots have been installed... After much research, I found my Toshiba repair disc. I put in and went to fix it. At half way through formatting the drive, it came with an error, saying that he was unable to delete a specific file, it asked me to reset.

  So I reset, and it came with a screen with "this disc is not initialized, Please initialize now."
  So I pressed Yes, and it resets, it came with the same screen. and again and again.

  So that's where I am. It is only a year old, and already got the replaced disk. I'm desperate difficulty, I don't want it to become a grammage of paper-dear...

  First of all I m wondering why the message appeared saying that the disk is not initialized have you used the Toshiba restore for the OS installation disc or have you used any other Windows disc?

  On the other hand, it might be possible that your HARD drive is malfunctioning, the cursor blinking in the upper left corner is a sign for this fault
  So I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Use a tool like Drive Fitness Test, for example, it helps you to check the HARD disk
  If errors will be displayed so the HARD drive needs to be replaced

• Satellite A100 - loop recovery disk

  I have a laptop 19Y03Q Satellite A100 PSAA8A that I bought in Australia and I brought vack to Singapore.
  Currently I'm trying to restore my computer laptop back to factory default, but the recovery disk displays a black screen and a cursor before restarting whenever I tried to recover.

  My hard drive disk and restore works very well. And I have the original drive hard toshiba came with the computer. (I had cloned the original on a larger hard drive)
  My drive was working 2 days ago and used it to wipe my laptop of unwanted files. But for some reason I had to restore again.
  The recovery disk would not go to the screen to select the method of recovery and keep restarting. I tried reformatting and the old hard drive cloning today, but the disc does not always (even if the clone was able to boot and run as I had left it your old hard drive). I checked the hard drive for errors found nothing and also led an installation of windows 7, which has been a success.
  I would not lose money by going to buy a new recovery disk and hard drive because both work well. I also do not alter the drive within two days.

  Thks in advance and I would appreciate a response.

  FOR INFO. I'm running the cloned from your old hard drive image

  Hey,.

  > My hard drive disk and recovery works very well
  How can you be sure that the recovery disk works well?

  To be honest, the story is a bit confusing, but I think that it s a problem with recovery disk if you have checked the HARD drive for errors and Windows 7 installation succeeded.

  You should ask a certified maintainer for help, maybe they can swap the disk recovery but an alternative, you can use a Windows disc. All the drivers and tools that you can find on the page of Toshiba.

• Satellite A100-062 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I'm out of memory on my A100-062 the disk of Vista (C) on my laptop (currently 62.6MB/37.1GB left!), but I left on data (E) 32 GB drive / 35.9 GB.

  Is it possible to move itunes and my library of music on the D drive and where there is more room? Or should I look to upgrade the hard disk (internal or external)

  I am a complete novice when it comes of it so * _basic detailed explanations_ * on what best to do would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks Max1210

  Before you buy a new HARD drive, you should try to move the folder my documents on the second partition. Also the mp3 files you have.
  I save my documents, pictures, music, and so far only on the second partition. On the first partition I install only the programs that I need.

  If you want a new HARD disk it of your choice if you take a HARD drive internal or external. On the external HARD drive, you can backup your data.

• Help to find the driver on the Satellite A200 (PSAE6) HARD disk controller

  Greetings. This text has been written through a translation program, to try to understand :)

  Problem:
  My friend bought a few days back to herself TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (PSAE6) where it has been established operating system Windows Vista Home. He asked me to change OS on Windows XP Pro. With the first problem I have consulted - have deleted Vista, but to set up XP is not possible due to the absence of the HARD disk controller driver in the OS distribution kit. Windows Installer cannot find the HARD drive. I read that it is necessary to load the driver during Setup, press the F6 key. But a problem I can't find the driver in that.

  We have no disk with drivers that should go with a computer and therefore it is necessary to search independently on the Internet. On the Toshiba site to locate the pilot, it was not possible. Then I came to the Intel site and download "RAID/AHCI - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager» After unpacking I got only «infinst_autol.exe» archive

  Question:
  Where can I download this driver (not a "EXE" format) that can be used during the installation of Windows XP?
  PS: a chipset - Intel PM965 Express

  Thank you

• On the Satellite C - Windows HARD disk failure has detected a HARD disk problem

  Since 2 days have been making repeated dialog "Windows detected a hard disk problem", warning of potential failures of the disc so back up, what I did. Disk in question is a Toshiba MK-5065GSXN.

  As a non-tech user, my instinct is that a new laptop is a better choice than to call Toshiba support for a laptop warranty (2 years) out of.

  On the other hand there may be a simple software fix. The opinion or advice welcome

  Hello

  The message says that something is wrong with the HARD drive.
  It might be possible that your HARD drive will die sooner or later so his need to backup data on another HARD drive, disk or flash memory.

  Finally, I must say you n don't need to buy a new laptop just because your HARD drive starts to hurt work in such cases purchase a new HARD drive and replace it
  HARD drive is not very expensive and the replacement of the HARD disk is very easy in your user manual

  PS: what model of laptop you have exactly?

• SMART hard disk error after replacing HD

  Hello!

  I SO hope that this someboidy is able to help me.

  I'm NOT a novice but I am confused.

  I replaced with the same model HD HD CQ58 provided with COMPAQ because the old HD was shot - how it happened escapes me.

  Anyhoo, after screwing a new HD I wanted to put OS on it, but I get the following error just after pressing set button / stop:

  When I restart it does not recognize a USB key. I tried Windows 8 and UBUNTU which ususally works on all the machines I've fixed so far.

  No chance whatsoever.

  As I mentioned earlier:

  I'm puzzled.

  I have no recovery CD and cannot make one because I'm not running Win8 on any of my PC.

  Thus, any suggestions?

  Help, please

  Thanks in advance

  Henry of Kai

  First of all:

  Thank you all very much for taking the time and you answer!

  And now, for what happened after I did all what has been proposed:

  Nothing.

  The message remained the same.

  Still no hard drive (even if it was new)

  Then I took a hard drive to work with Win7 on it from another machine, put it in the Compaq and... nothing.

  I tried the USB with Win8 (NTFS with Rufus) does not.

  I don't know why, I tried again, but when I used the same USB with UBUNTU Live - 14.04. on that I had taken or tried before... He recognized at startup.

  Weird hard drive wiped completely since it was not recognized by the BIOS (one with Win7 on it... data paths but I had backup ).

  So, now I'm running the faithful Tahr on the Compaq and it works fine.

  I will try to put the original Win8 on it, but the system doesn't seem like more since USB NTFS NTFS are not recongised at startup.

  Well Anyhoo, I got the machine to work.

  Would have been nice to know what was wrong with him to solve future problems, but at least I had to register in this forum

  So I could bore you guys with questions in the future.

  Take care

  Kai
