Satellite A100 PSAA2E Setup hangs after connecting new HARD drive

Hello

I have a problem with TOSHIBA Satellite A100 PSAA2E (3 year old laptop)
I bought the new SAMSUNG SPINPOINT 250 GB SATA (model HM250JI) hard drive.

After connection, the computer hangs on the first screen. I can't access the BIOS Setup (press F2)
I can't boot the CD of form (I can't select same drive to start by pressing F12)

It just hangs.

When the HARD drive is unplugged I can access the configuration of the BIOS or boot from CD. When the original hard drive (FUJITSU 40BG) is connected, everything is ok.

I updated the BIOS to version 1.5 to the a more recent 2.6, but it did not help.

HARD drive runs under windows xp, when connected by USB port. It is formatted with NTFS: a primary partition(15GB), a stretch with two logical partitions (20BG, GB 215).

You have no idea where could be the problem?
Should I format hard drive in a different way?

BR,

hosss

Hello

Check if your new HARD drive has been fitted with a small jumper that controls the master/slave/c-salt settings.

A friend of mine bought a new HARD drive and BIOS didn't recognize because the rider has been set to the wrong position.

Good bye

    Just installed a new hard drive in my Satellite Pro A120. Made a full new install Vista, installed all the drivers but video playback is choppy/jerky. Even google earth is juddery. It didn't use to be like this with the original hard drive.

    A I had a problem of driver somewhere? I think it's the 945 chipset.

    To be honest, it's really hard for us, users, to say what causes this problem and I think you should test more yourself

  • Satellite T130 - stuck on the loading screen - new hard drive required

    After a message on the screen saying back up your hard drive, it will fail quickly and pressing F1 it seems so stuck on the loading screen. I'm not too good with computers. I just have to buy a new hard drive to get the laptop working again, or is much more complicated than that. My guess is this one.

    Thanks in advance for any help provided

    The first question is: did you create recovery media (USB key)?
    If do not do this if for a long time your HARD drive works OK. original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive, but you must have it USB backup that you can use to install if the disk needs to be replaced.
    Do it as soon as possible. More info on what you can read in s operating manuals.

    What to do with the HARD drive? In my opinion if long as it works it has no reason to panic. Use your laptop as usual. If you notice some performance or more error messages problems I think that you should replace it.

    Replacing the HARD drive doesn't have to be so problematic. HARD drive cover must be placed in the lower corner of your laptop. The smallest is RAM and cotyledon should be for the HARD drive. Check it out.

    Before do you that this is remove the battery and unplug your computer laptop AC adapter / CC.

    If you have no experience with such things please don't made some risky step. You can damage something.

  • Re: Satellite U400-11 q with Vista has new HARD drive but no recovery disk

    Hello

    Before starting a very important message: I do not usually work with pc... :-) At my work we have an IT Department for our PC :-))

    However, now I have to work privately with a PC / laptop and I need help: I'm sitting in front of a Toshiba Satellite U400-11 q with a HARD drive completely newly formatted and unfortunately WITHOUT recovery CD or DVD!

    So far I managed to format the new HARD drive and put a Windows Vista Home Basic (OEM software) from my old pc on this notebook. However, nothing works again (I want to get into the Internet, etc.).

    So, I now have to put on all the involved drivers as well as drivers TOSHIBA original, right?

    How can I do this? What drivers to I need? Do I have to download all the drivers concerned (total 113) one by one on the Web from Toshiba site?

    ANY help is appreciated as I see myself spend all night in front of the PC...

    Thank you
    M

  • Satellite P300D - problem with reboot after update the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300D - 12 c and recently, I put a new hard drive, the Seagate momentus 7200 RPM 2.5 "500 GB. It works well, but I have a strange problem; normally when I reboot the laptop when it will close something sounds, in the figurative sense I could say "something moves" for a bit in the DVD - ROM drive and shuts down and then restarts.

    Now, when the reboot happens to the part of the dvd - rom drive, I described above it stucks there... "something is happening" on the dvd - rom drive as trying to permanently access a dvd or something and he does the same thing until I force it to shut down by pressing the appropriate button. It happens once in two attempts to restart.

    Does anyone have a solution or a tip or something? If you do not understand something to tell me,

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. Maybe the drive is loose and so you should try re-allocation of places there.
    Maybe it works

    And updated the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

    Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
    It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
    I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

    Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
    I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
    I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

    So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
    So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

    I (try) to install and it does nothing.
    I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

    Any help?

    Hello

    I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
    The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

    So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
    AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

    On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
    I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

  • No input signal after installing new hard drive

    SUP guys, im need help, my hard drive on my computer has stopped working, I'd get an important flasher hits and it looks like it please insert a disk and when I did a diagnosis, I had hard drive errors I went and bought a new one.

    In order to take the old one out I had to remove the cables from the hard drive, the big white thing that plugs into the motherboard, the processor fan and cable.

    I put in new hard drive, put everything back as it should and when I boot it all im getting are no signal input on my screen, I have tried on 3 different screens and got the same thing.

    Here are some pictures of the inside of my computer:

    If you notice the VGA thing on the 2nd picture, should no more added to it? I mean in addition to plug the cable from the monitor, I have the impression that there should be something added to the back of it, I just noticed now, the computer and the screen worked perfectly before.

    It's a HP model number is a6655f, it came with vista, but after putting in the new HD, I intend to put windows 7, I have a copy of it.

    I guess with the new hard drive and I am I was right assuming that you have already installed windows 7

    Sounds like you need drivers for the drive, and sounds like a simple problem, download drivers and install I believe that when you install windows 7, it offers you the possibility of drivers installed.

    Oh and you could try to change SATA to IDE in the BIOS and see if that helps

  • Problems opening Captivate 7 for Mac after installing new hard drive

    Hello!

    My HDD recently crashed and I need to install a new hard drive (OS x El Capitan, version 10.11.13) on my mac. They re-installed Adobe Captivate (I use Adobe Captivate 7 for Mac), but now the software and files that I created using the software will not open. Initially, I received an error message stating that I had to install a new version of Java, but even after I did it, it will still not open. I click on the link in the finder and it bounces on the taskbar at the bottom for one second, then disappears. I tried to restart the computer, but it does not help.

    Can anyone help? I need it immediately for work!

    Thank you, Ashley

    I suspect that the reason is the operating system. Even the Captivate 8 was not compatible with El Capitan, I doubt that is the case with CP7. Only CP9 is compatible with El Capitan.

    Hello

    Are you sure that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?
    Seems that the laptop does not support the new drive (100 GB, 7200 RPM).

    Perhaps because of the large size of HARD drive and the fast rotation value.
    I would try to use a 60GB 5400 RPM a 80 GB HARD drive maybe works but it seems that the 100 GB HARD drive is not compatible

  • No sound after installing new hard drive

    I recently installed a new hard drive for windows XP and I installed all the updates of windows updates. I plugged in an Altec speaker system exactly as I did before, but I can't not all sounds.

    When I click on "Sounds and Audio devices" in the Control Panel, I see "No Audio device".

    I tried all the troubleshooting options. I think I need to download new audio drivers, but I can't figure out how to do this.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    There could be a possibility that you may still need to download additional software.
     
    Perhaps, your motherboard has audio drivers available at their homesite or perhaps your sound card as well.
     
    However, if you have a brand system / pc, and then click on his homesite and look for the model number for the available downloads and updates.
