• Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

  And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

  Hello!

  Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

  A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

• Need help please, bios sees the new hard drive but still cant boot from the cd-rom

  HI there, Im having some problems here. First of all, I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2 with BIOS A06. I replaced the original hard drive to 120 GB because I received a stop error code with a new 320 GB (000000 x 24 or somethinglike that) but after research I was convinced it was the reader. I installed the new drive and the BIOS sees it under drive as primary drive SATA configuration... It's good, I guess, but now when I go to the sequence of hard drive I get (1. Unknown device (not installed) 2. System BIOS 3 boot devices. (Not installed) USB device) why the drive is not displayed here?

  OK, so now when I try to boot from a CD-rom Home XP I get "strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility. I can't seem to get around this problem any time now. I can get it to boot from a floppy disk, but not the CD, why is this? The two CD-ROMs are appearing in the BIOS as second master and slaves. IM really stumped on this one, please help!

• Computer of memory on my hard drive - I already have the basics. How to get free space.

  Original title: I'm out of memory on my hard drive but I have minimum programs, photo and music on it. What else can I remove it?

  It seems that a lot of programs listed under Add/Remove are installations of service packs or updates. I already deleted all files and unwanted programs, ran defragmentd and my drive disk cleanup. What should I do to find a free space?

• Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

  Evening,

  I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

  The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

  Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

  Thank you

  C

  It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

• Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

  What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

  Hi turboiwan,

  As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

  For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

• Satellite A30 - 30F does not recognize my hard drive

  Hello
  I have a laptop Satellite A30 and when I start it up I get this message:

  For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8130/ 810 X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13 (020326)
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

  I think my laptop is trying to boot from LAN because that does not recognize the hard drive, but the drive is ok, I tried on another computer with problem. Sometimes, not always, and I don't know why, I can start from the CD. If I boot from the Windows XP installation disk, I can access the hard drive. I've run fixboot and fixmbr hard disk, but that does not change. The bios recognizes the hard drive. BIOS vertsion is 1.20. I tried to upgrade the BIOS, but I need to Windows, so...

  Thank you very much and sorry for my English :)

  Hello!

  To message PXE, you can consult this document:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB8A02G90000R01.htm

  I think that your HARD drive or disc HARD controller of the motherboard is faulty, but I don't know m.
  Have you checked the HARD drive with a special tool for this? The Drive Fitness Test can check the HARD drive for bad sectors or something else:

  Take the test and post your result!

• Satellite Pro L450 - 17K - expandability RAM and HARD drive

  Can someone help me find out what the actual amount of system ram memory can be installed using windows 7 64 bit? As far as I can tell it is 4 GB or more? What is "more"?

  What of the hard disk, what is the maximum size that I am able to install and for which type such as sata etc.

  According to specification notebok your ant Satellite Prohas Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset it can handle with 4 GB RAM max.
  Unfortunately there is no specific info on the upgrade of the HARD drive, but it is SATA HDD, which means up to 400 or even 500 GB should not be a problem.

  I advise you to buy a 300 GB HARD drive and I think it will be more tan enough to upgrade the HARD drive.
  What do you think?

• Can I go by Satellite 2410-303 with 120 GB of HARD drive

  Hello
  I have a Satellite 2410-303 (acquired in 2002) with a 30Gb HD (MK3018GAS, 4200 RPM).

  I want to upgrade this drive with a Toshiba one with 120 GB (MK1234GAX, 5400 RPM). These HDs have the same type of bus, so it should be no problem with that, but how do I know if the ability will be recognized by the BIOS, and if there is no heat problem?

  Thank you for your response.

  Laurent

  Hello

  The heat should t be a problem, but the size of the HARD drive. It s a really huge difference between 30 and 120 GB.
  In my opinion, the BIOS will not recognize the HARD drive, but I can't say for sure
  So I recommend that you test it HARD and please we report the results

  Someone has updated the old 1700-400 Satellite with 80 GB HARD drive, and it works!
  Maybe your 120 GB HARD drive will work also successfully crossed ;) finger

• 320 gb External Hard Drive - now detected as Cypress device

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba 320 GB external hard drive and it seems to have developed a problem. Instead of being detected correctly when I turn on the drive Windows tell me that his device detected a "Cypress AT2LP RC42" and he wants to install software for it (which it does not so find).

  I know that this isn't just the OS because I have two OS on my machine and while it used to work fine on the two I now get the same behavior on them. Other that the drive does not appear in "My Computer" or in the "Disk management" part of the "Computer management" console

  Anyone know how to fix this?

  I must also say that I had only this when I got a 160 GB Toshiba drive.

  Colin

  [Edited by: admin]

  I googled around, and it seems that you really need a driver for this external hard drive to HARD drive. You should check the Web site of Cypress.

  The other option is to download the DriverWizard Windriver jungo.com 8.0. This application creates .inf files. Cypress AT2LP RC42 source code should be integrated.
  For EXAMPLE, you can create a clean driver .inf file. Try to install it on your device.

• Satellite C660 - 11 k - noise in the hard drive

  Hello

  Whenever I have start browsing my laptop satellite c660 11 k there will be a kind of noise (hard to explain but beep like noise using come from older printers or fax machines) from my hard drive.

  Audible only when there is pin drop silence in the room. When the laptop was new there was no noise and later he started to come when I open windows navigation 4-5 and the sound comes now even if I start browsing. My hard drive is defective?

  Please can someone advice me on this.

  Post edited by: Sammy007

  Hello

  My HARD drive sometimes creates similar sounds.
  I'm not quite sure about this sound but I save data always because some time ago one of my hard drives is dead and I could lose all my data so I would not have some backups created in the past of m

  I recommend doing the same thing
  Who knows what s wrong with the HARD drive, but I know with certainty that sooner or later all hard disks will die

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

• Satellite 1410-902: how to remove a HARD drive

  Hello. Anyone know how to remove a disk for a Toshiba Satellite 1410 902?
  Open the Panel here, it's the HARD drive, but there is no obvious way to get it out... I don't want to force it.
  Thanks for the help.

  Luca.

  Hello

  The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit. You don't have to remove the screw holding the cover of the slot. Then, you can simply remove the HARD drive.
  But be careful.

• Satellite L300-144 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I have a problem: my laptop is Satellite L300-144, but I don't even know my hard drive model.

  Anyone know anything on this subject? And how replcae it? I mean where the hard drive is placed?
  And another question: is it available in BestBuy for example?

  THX

  Hello

  As Akuma said on the underside of the laptop, you will find a HARD drive cover is fixed by 2 screws I think. If you remove these screws, you can see the HARD drive and remove/Exchange it.

  Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives, and you can buy the HARD drive of every computer store where you want to.
  I have good experiences with Seagate and Western Digital hard drives but of course, you can buy a disk from a different manufacture. ;)
