• 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 :)

  My laptop model is a M50-108! But I don't see any info on this model, anywhere, what kind of memory would be preferable to add to my computer? (512 MB)!

  Hello

  you mean the type that ask what size would be funny. :) (more is better)
  The right type for that machine is DDR333 and the maximum amount of RAM you can install is 2 GB (2 x 1 GB memory module).

  It does not matter which manufacturer but I can tell you from my experience as a well-known brand (kingston, crucial, samsung) is always not more then a no name. And try to use two absolutely similar modules for reasons of compatibility and performance.

  Hope I could help.

  Welcome them

• Re: Satellite A200-130 RAM Upgrade

  Hello
  I searched for Satellite A200-130 record in all Toshiba Site and not found it can help me and post the link to it or tell me if I can move the ram to 2 GB

  Either it's a module problem or that of your memory slots of the malfunctions.
  Test the memory slots only with one memory module and check if memory can be recognize din both banks.

  I also found this site of add-on memory useful:

  [Memory for Toshiba Satellite A200-13O | http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=32459&ft=m&st=3]

  You can use: DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM

  It s no matter what manufacture it. But should the module supports the specifications above.

• Satellite A200-130: done remove from the hidden partition void warranty

  Hello

  remove the hidden recovery partition will void the warranty on the Satellite A200-130?

  No, certainly not!

  You can delete what you want ;) you can also install a different operating system.

  You would lose the guarantee only if you open and disassemble the laptop or attempt to upgrade not upgradable components such as CPU for example.

  Just for the note; You can set the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  This would create a new hidden too restore partition.

• Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

  I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

  I was hoping you could advise me.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  Hello!

  Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
  Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

  However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
  But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  Good bye

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the RAM of my Satellite A100-803, which uses actually PC2-533, at 4 GB.

  Can I upgrade to PC2 - 667?
  Do I need Dual-Channel?
  One advises on what brand or the best model to use?

  If I not mistaken and for what I could see around the internet, I should be able to switch to 4 GB PC2-667 and Dual-Channel should not be necessary. But an expert of confirmation would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Best regards.

• BT on the Satellite A200-130 pilot facilities

  Hello

  I bought a new Satellite A200-130, two weeks ago and when I run the Bluetooth from the BEGINNING or F8 + function, it opens the Bluetooth driver configuration, THEN COMES THE PROBLEM: it gets stuck. I opened the Task Manager to see if it has been using any CPU.
  It was actually using 1 or 2 sometimes 3 CPU. One day I left the configuration of work from 12: 00 to 12:00 and nothing happened.

  If a expert TOSHIBA? ¦. What is the solution?
  Keep in mind that I made the recovery for him but STILL< the="" same="">

  Can anyone help?
  I will appreciate it! Thank you.

  I checked your previous assignments and it's very bad that you didn't have success with BT on your A200 Satellite installation. I have the Satellite A200-1CR with BT, and in my case everything was OK. Different components have been installed and where BT finished was ready for use.

  I know you hate me for this, but I recommend you to follow:
  1 install the OS via recovery DVD new
  2. unplug all external and Vista boot devices
  3. turn the WLAN switch on WE
  4. when the WLAN led is used in combination of keys FN + F8 and switch to BT only.
  Please, don't use option ALL

  After doing this BT components must be installed. It takes about 10 minutes, but in my case it worked fine. Please if you have time do it again. I really can't imagine that this will not work. Install BT after clean operating system installation.

  I hope that you have success next time. :)

• Satellite Pro A300 - will be lost the warranty if I upgrade the RAM?

  Hey guys,.

  I wanted to know if I purchase and install my own module SO-DIMM RAM in my laptop, it will void my warranty?
  If so, how can I spend my memory?

  I agree with Akuma.
  You will not void the warranty if you upgrade the RAM.
  I've also updated my RAM and I t has not had any problems with my warranty.

  Moreover, the best RAM for upgrade is the RAM even if you as before. I mean the manufacturing and specification. So you can ensure that the new RAM will work.
