Satellite A100 - question on the removal of the HARD drive

• Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

  A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

  250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-451 - a few questions on the HARD drive, speakers

  I hope someone can help with these that I could not help on the information line.

  How fast is the hard drive on this laptop? He said SMART 160 GB, but does not specify a speed, although I'm guessing its 5400 RPM.

  Are the Harmon Kardon speakers? The specs say Toshiba stereo, and even on the Comet, he said Harmon Kardon. Here is a good bass-wise?
  Looks like there is no bluetooth, I find a little surprise.

  Finally, the only place wherever I can find it for sale is the comet... I was wondering it anyone has also saw that I had some dodgy experiences with them.

  See you soon

  Hello

  I found some info that the rotation of the HARD drive is 4200 RPM. I'm not sure 100% on speakers but usually if laptop a harman/kardon speakers it is not in the specification but for A100-451, it is not the case. This info, you can get the garage directly.

  BT is not available, and it shouldn't surprise you because most of the A100 models are supplied without BT module. You can use any time key USB BT. IT is simple to use and really cheap.

• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• Satellite M40x-189: on the HARD drive and graphics card update Question

  Hi people just a few quick questions.

  1. a second hard drive can I be mounted on the cell above?... it came with a 60 GB HARD drive
  graphics mobile geforce or ati 2. can / will be mounted instead of the integrated graphics card?

  the answers would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  It is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard. It s not the same technology as on desktop computers.
  Upgrading the HARD drive is something different. It of possible to replace the HARD drive to another. But before you replace the HARD drive, you must check if the HARD disk is compatible and if the BIOS will recognize.
  Sometimes the BIOS cannot recognize the hardest.

• Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

  My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

  According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

  I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

  Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards
  Thomas

  Nice. ;)
  To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

• Equium A100-338, replacing the hard drive

  Hi, the hard drive from my Toshiba Equium A100-338 just broke down on me, and now I think to replace. Because I'm not good material, I thought I have ask for advice about it here first. Is this an easy repair that can be done on your own? If so, how can I know if my computer match which new hard drive? I know that I need a 2.5 inch Sata-150 and all that, but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

  In addition, it is worth the money to make repairs like this on such an old computer? I wouldn't throw it out when everything else seems to work very well.

  Hello

  In the Toshiba forum you will find here with some nice instructions how to replace a HARD drive on the different laptop models.
  I found a movie that explains how do on Satellite A200.

  Replacing the HARD drive is not very delicate, and the process is similar for all models of laptops.

• Recovery of Satellite A215 after replacing the hard drive

  I have a Satellite A215 from issues taken to a store, they said the hard drive was going wrong, they extracted the files it could.
  I replaced the concert of 80 hitachi Moose with a new concert of 500 hitachi. When I try to launch the boot disc that came with the computer it says loading windows then goes to a recovery mode and I can't function.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

  At this point, it would be interesting to know if the same thing would happen with 100 GB HARD drive. Do you get the such or similar HDD somewhere for testing purposes?

  It's that you can't manipulate image recovery and recovery installation procedure. Either it works or not.
  To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your upgrade. I can't imagine that a small car can work with stronger engine 10 times. What do you think?

• Satellite A200 PSAF3A - upgrade the hard drive - data retention?

  Hello

  I am working on a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF3A with a dying 160 GB Fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA drive installed.
  I would like to replace the hard drive 400 GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in a car with a Fujitsu and transfer any existing information on it. I noticed that there is a standard C:\, a System Volume of Toshiba and a HDDRecovery partition on the current drive.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible by using disk imaging software? If so, what are the issues could meet? (eg. new player will only recognize the old C:\ partition size etc.)

  I have already created a backup of the drive image and all 3 partitions (as she made a lot of noise and possibly at its output) using shadow protect Desktop
  Toshiba HDDRecovery & the System Volume partitions don't show in SPDesktop as the affected drive letters, so I don't know if I can restore using this program. Everyone has used successfully to achieve this result?

  pus
  I also have a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows here, and have successfully used the Roadkills Disk Copy with a SATA Adapter USB to copy a C:\ on a laptop in the past. It would be a better approach? I was thinking of using this method because it must copy all 3 partitions, then just use GParted to resize C:\ to fill the rest of the available HARD disk space.

  Thanks in advance :)

• L50-B-11J satellite does not recognize the HARD drive connected by USB 3.0

  Hello

  I recently bought a new laptop and install a new legal copy of windows pro 8.1.

  The problem that arises is actually a USB 3.0 port.
  Also, I have a drive external hard support standard USB 2.0 and 3.0.

  When I plug-in the hard drive into a USB 2.0 or any USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is disabled in the BIOS) fine, hard drive is recognized and I can access.

  But, when I plug-in the hard disk into a USB 3.0 port (two port supports USB 3.0 is active in the BIOS) Windows does not recognize it and I can't access it.

  The hard disk led flashes, so it has the power, but does not appear in the devices or Device Manager.
  My opinion is that the problem may be with the drivers for USB, but Toshiba is supported for driver for USB 3.0 for Windows 8.1.

  Then can someone suggest me what to do?

  Laptop: Satellite L50-B-11J
  USB ports: 1xUSB 2.0 port, 2xUSB 3.0 port
  Operating system: Windows Pro 8.1
  USB 3.0 driver: Intel (r) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Control - 0100 (Microsoft)
  External hard drive: support USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standard

  Intel USB 3.0 driver is part of the 8.1 Windows System... This is not supplied by Toshiba.

  Windows 7 contains no such USB 3.0 driver and so you can download driver Intel USB 3.0 page of the Toshiba driver as well as the Intel download site.

  By the way: try to disable the functionality of sleep & Charge and check how the HARD drive would work.

• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon
  NJ

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

  Bye and good luck

• 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.

• Satellite A100 - questions about the keys to the left hand and added value package

  Hello:

  The work of doesn´t special keys on left hand. I mean, the keys under the power on button which usually starts the web browser and works with the DVD.

  Another question. The value-added package that was installed on my laptop has got a call from the Toshiba Fash utility maps. When I upgraded to the latest version (previosly I had to uninstall it) this SW is not installed. How can I get it back?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Value added contains several applications:
  -Toshiba components pilot common
  -Toshiba Utilities
  -Toshiba PC Diagnostic tool
  -Toshiba Power Saver
  -Toshiba Button support
  -Toshiba zooming utility
  -Toshiba Flash cards

  So as you can see, the button support is included in this package. I don't know what the problem is on your laptop, but when the VAP is installed correctly the multimedia buttons and Flash cards should work correctly.

  Try again please remove VAP system, restart the computer and install the latest version available. This latest version works well on the different laptop models (on my Satellite P200D too) and it should work on your too.

• Satellite A100: Questions regarding the WiFi printer & router

  My Satellite A100 says he has:

  Compliance: Wi - Fi
  Network support: 802. 11 b / g built-in
  Wireless technology: Wireless LAN

  I would like to know:

  (1) I guess that means that if I have a wireless laptop router connects through a kind of indoor antenna - but I don't know if I have to "turn on" or if it is automatic?

  (2) I have a wifi printer. Can I print directly from the laptop to the printer or what I need to work through a router?

  Any help will be appreciated.
