• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
  Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

  Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
  I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

  Hello

  I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
  I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

  Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Satellite 1900-102: Question about upgrade hard drive

  I tried for awhile get a new hard drive for my 102 S1900. I think I found one, but don't know if it will fit. The person told me that it fits in a Toshiba but that was all. It's a 80 GB 2.5 "9 mm 4200 RPM IDE laptop hard drive. Will this work in my model? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  the problem here is not if the HARD drive will fit in the notebook or not (BTW it will be).
  The problem is if the BIOS can recognize hard drives with this ability. And I think that it is not.
  But maybe there is a new version of the BIOS available.
  Sorry I don't have the info to say more clearly.

  Hello

  "you just have to take care, that you buy a Sata Drive in the"form factor"2.5". That's all.
  As I know, the biggest that drive was delivered with this machine was a 120 GB SATA drive.

  Regarding the manufacturer: do not hesitate to take all the manufacturers that you like. The best would be Toshiba at all ;)

  There is a 2nd internal HARD drive Bay, but not a female connector. Can I install it? How?
  There are 2 slots for RAM, all together 2 GB. Is it possible to exit an and instead place a token 2 GB to 3 GB total or should I always double channel pair RAM?

  It is not possible to install the second HARD drive. The laptop box is universal for all models P200, but some of them are delivered with 2 drives hard HDD upgrade is not possible.

  With the RAM modules, you can do what you want. To be more precise, YES! You can remove a 1 GB module and put 2 GB RAM. Please just use high quality Rams and not some products without name at low cost.

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I got old A40 son of infections of Virus and spyware. Now, I want to improve.

  Hello

  How have you tried to ask Toshiba? As far as I know, you can ask the service provider authorized in your country information but not a Toshiba directly.

  However, I studied a bit here in the forum and found this thread:

• Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

  Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

  My question is
  (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

  (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

  Thank you. You are my last hope

  Best regards
  Vince

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
  I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
  HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
  HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200
  HDD2193 40 GB 5 400
  HDD2189B 60 GB 4 200
  HDD2194 60 GB 5 400
  HDD2188B 80 GB 4 200
  80 GB 5 400 HDD2191

  In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.

• Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
  I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

  Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hi Pranjal,

  You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
  http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

  You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

  I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A200 could not recognize the HARD drive during XP installation

  Hi all
  I need help with my laptop, please...

  My problem is,
  I have a notebook by Satellite A200, and the operating system is Vista, am not satisfied with Vista at all so I bought a Windows XP bootable CD... When I tried to install it it gave me a massage that he could not recognize my hard drive...

  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and downloaded the files from the storage for XP Manager as someone told me it could be the SATA problem and you must apply on your hard disk for XP will see it?

  The question is:
  How much is real?
  How can I install XP on my PC now?
  can I install Storage Manager while I'm on Vista and then install XP?
  I put the Storage Manager on a CD and boot from it?

  am really confused because when I extracted the Storage Manager and view the files I found the setup button and a few other folders, and I do not know what those to use because I don't know what is my hard drive... and any help will be much appreciated

  Thanking you a lot in advance

• Satellite A200-193 - installing an extra HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200-193 and I would like to install one additional go 160 HARD drive into the free location.
  The problem is that there is no SATA connector to this place (switch on the motherboard, not more).
  I know there are computer A200 laptop with a second HDD and my question is "if I go into an official TOSHIBA Service Center, it is possible to install a SATA connector in this free site, this is to allow the installation of additional HARD drive?

  If someone could help me on this point, it would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hi Mathieu

  I see that you are a bit confused ;)
  As you known t n, there are probably different Satellite A200 series a series helps the second HARD drive upgrade and some A200 series cannot be upgraded
  But the A200 series was equipped with the same laptop covers

  This means that you will find the second drive HARD on all mobile A200 Bay but the drive HARD (SATA) connectors don t exist on each series.
  It seems that your laptop cannot be upgraded with the second HARD disk because of the second missing HARD drive interface.

  I hope I can clarify this confusing question ;)

  Good bye
