• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• Satellite A200-1AG - Limitation of size for the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I want to improve my laptop with a new hard drive. It came with SATA 150 GB and I want to get a 320 GB Western Digital HD. Never changed the disk in a laptop and I don't know if there is no restriction on the voltage, overheating...

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  Hey U-mass,.

  There is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface on the new SATA interface. This means that you can buy this 320 GB HARD disk or another HARD drive. Each 2.5 HARD drive to SATA interface is theoretically possible to use.

  One more interesting thing is RPM HARD drive. There are hard drives with 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM. The latter is a little faster but needs more power and produces more heat. Normally, 5400 RPM is sufficient

  Ooh... Wow!
  This beats my Macbook Pro Core i7 8 GB of RAM 2012 (quadruple-heart I think)

  What is the SSD? What is Windows 8 + SSD?
  Why is it so quickly!
  I would add that I have rebuild my machine EVERY 30 days (still have the latest patches and antivirus before using)

• Satellite PRO A10 new HDD partition with 80 GB HARD drive

  I've recently updated the original 30 GB HARD drive for a 80 GB HARD drive. I used the recovery CD and all is well.

  The old laptop is now as good as new again.

  I notice that rather than having a c: drive of 80 GB, recovery utility has given me 3 partitions in about 25 GB each (c: d:, and e :).) They were originally FAT32 although I changed it to NTFS.

  My question is can I remove e: and d: partitions and then increase the size of the c: up to the maximum size possible (approx. 75 GB)? I know that windows xp can handle, but I don't know if the BIOS can or even why 3 partitions have been created in the first place.

  Post edited by: dim33

  To be honest I m really surprised that there are 3 partitions after the recovery procedure. I got many old books as your A10 and newer seen this.
  In any case go to disk management and try to create partitions on the way you want it to be.

  In my opinion you should have the C partition with 25 or 30 GB and the second 50 GB partition for the data record. Don t use a partition only. If something does not go the whole partition must be deleted and you will lose all of your stored data. It is always better to have the second partition for data backup.

  In the worst case (you cannot start OS), you can install Windows XP Home edition on the first partition, boot OS and have full access to all stored data.

• Performance issue with an external HARD drive

  Hi all

  I wish you all a happy new year and good luck for 2008

  I have a performance problem with a HARD drive: 3.5 inch USB 2.0 HDD with Alu - case. (320 GB of capacity)
  The average copy files is about 470 KB/Sec.

  When I connect the external HARD drive to my laptop (for any USB port), I have a ToolTip message: "this device can perform faster - this USB device can be faster if you connect it to a USB 2.0 port. I can assure you, my computer laptop USB USB 2.0 port.

  I conneted my drive external HARD to both PC and I have the same ToolTip message: "this device can perform faster - this USB device can be faster if you connect it to a USB 2.0 port.

  Is this problem known to you?
  I think the problem is in the firmware of the external HARD drive.

  + Other ++ information: +.

  + OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 +.
  + USB port all tested are USB 2.0 +.
  + HARD drive divided on 4 logical drives.
  + Antivirus: Symantec. I had test with and without my antivirus. +
  + I have had this problem for 3 weeks and before that I had no problem. +

  Thanks in advance & best regards,

  Hello

  I got the same info after the connection of a digital camera.
  The same message appears in the taskbar. I simply disbled this message;
  In Device Manager, click the USB host controller, click the Advanced tab, and then check the box at the bottom of the window that says don't tell me about USB errors.

  You must do this for each USB controller listed under USB in Device Manager, so that the error message no no matter which controller is used.

  I goggled for this + this device can perform faster + and got many successes. It seems that this is not a hardware problem, but simply a problem of operating system software

  That s all I can suggest

• Satellite A200-1GH. Questions about the replacement of HARD drive

  What I'll do with the hidden partition of Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  Is it possible to ignore it?

  Any suggestions?

  > What should I do with a hidden partition in Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  The hidden partition is needed for the repair of the system!
  If something goes wrong with the system, Vista would be able to repair the system using the files from the hidden partition.
  The Vista operating system creates this partition automatically during the installation of the OS!

  After you change the HARD drive, just start using the Toshiba and Vista recovery disk should create the partitions and must run the installer automatically

• Check read the code 0000 T500 failed error even with a new hard drive

  Hello

  My T500 was slammed very hard one day, once I reboot, he worked for half an hour and gave up. I tested via the BIOS, he gave me code 0000 read failed error check.

  I presume that the HD is dead, inserted an a healthy Interior and works very well for a few hours and give up once again, tested by BIOS gave me the same error code.

  I was wondering what problem could be?

  best,

  Sy

  You can also prove that it is a SATA interface error by testing two hard drives in a box USB or Firewire. If you can live without portability, then perhaps this is also an option to use the T500 in the future.

• Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

  PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
  Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

  I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

• Satellite A200-1TW - HD-DVD player does not play a HD-DVD

  My Satellite A200-1TW does play not any HD-DVD. Normal DVD and CD is playing.

  I think the update of the HD DVD drive should help too.
  I noticed that an update came out... so try it

• Satellite A200-1tw psae6e - USB ports not working not

  I use windows 7 ultimate on Satellite A200-1tw (psae6e-06u030du) and my usb ports no longer works correctly.
  In fact they recognize certain usb devices, but not all (for mouse and printer example work, but my USB does not work)

  Looking at the Device Manager, everything seems OK... No problem!

  Does anyone have a solution for my problem.

  Thanks :)

  Hello

  Try resetting the USB ports. This means that you need to remove the USB ports/hubs/controllers in Device Manager.
  Then, you have to restart the laptop to get new USB ports.
  In my case it has worked.

  By the way; I recommend upgrading the chipset driver and disable the feature for each energy-saving usb port.
  This can be done in the Device Manager-> port USB-> properties-> tab to save energy

• Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

  I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

  Read the following thread:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

  What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

  Thanks in adv!

  Hello

  I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
  Why?
  Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

  To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

  So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.

• Satellite A100 - 065 (PSAANA) - can I spend it with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello Forum!

  I want to upgrade to a hard disk of 120 GB (Hitachi) to a 500 GB (Western Digital). I don't know if this A100 supports SATA2.

  I think it's to do with the hard disk controllers that are on the motherboard. This is information I don't think (using the pc Wizard). I am very happy to use a SATA drive, if it is the one which is compatible, but if it supports SATA 2, then obviously I would install a because they are 3GB of bandwidth instead of 1.5 GB as SATA.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated that my hard drive is full.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can use a SATA2 HDD without problems. These discs hard are compatible downgrade to the old SATA1 standard, so you can use 500 GB HARD drive, as you suggested.
  But don t forget it will not work with SATA1 speeds, but this should not be a problem normally.

  So have fun with the new HARD drive! ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120 - Jerky empty reading after installing new HARD drive

  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.

  Hey Buddy,

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

  Anyway, you have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  You should also check if all Windows updates are installed and if you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.
