Satellite A200 - HARD drive replacement

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 1IZ and I want to replace my drive hard because I have some bad sectors.

I don't know if my motherboard supports SATA and which version, if I order a 7200 RPM, maximum capacity.

All advice?

Thank you

Hello

As far as I know the Satellite A200 supports SATA 2.5 HDD.

SATA controller having no physical limit, use of all 2.5 SATA hard drives should be possible.

So in my opinion, you should be able to use a 500 GB 2.5 HDD without any problem of compatibility

PS: Uusally it s any HARD drive manufacturer, it is, but of course, there are different HARD drive manufacturers that provide different standards of HARD drive and an unnamed 2.5 HDD would be cheaper than a HDD from brand

  • Satellite A200 - hard drive not recognized

    Hello. Deploy a satellite A200.

    Original problem would not initialize only power light and hard drive light came on a second, nothing on the screen, not access to the parameters of F2. Reinstall memory, no go, deleted the test and drive hard and read disc hard ok in an external enclosure. With disk hard deleted computer will start after market boot disk and running program diagnosis ok. Can now access the settings of F2.

    Format external hard drive, reinstall and start with the startup disk, hard disk appears in the bios, the test runs diagnostic ok.
    Tried to install Windows XP and XP pro and windows twice starts to install and then comes up with an error saying there is no hard drive present, even if the Bios and a diagnostic boot disk at the same time recognize the hard drive.
    Tried another hard drive with the same problem, not recognized.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally with this record everything should work fine because it s pre-tested and specifically designed for your laptop.
    Check this box!

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive is faulty and you need a new. The HARD drive seems to have random failures.

    Hey Buddy you have the HARD drive model number. Put it in Google and check the stores where you can order it online. There is no need of any special tips for this.
    But if you want to buy new HARD drive I recommend exchanging it with compatible 80 GB HARD drive. With this model of laptop, you can use follow hard drives:

    Toshiba MK8032GSX
    Fujitsu MHV2080BH
    Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00

  • Satellite 1710CDS - HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    I have a question about the portable satellite 1710CDS.
    A week ago my hard drive of the laptop above broke down.
    Fdisk and partition magic are not able to detect the HARD drive.
    My first question is where is the HARD drive located?
    It is under the keyboard, as you can see by some other Toshiba laptops?
    And is there anyone who knows what capacity hard drive to this cell phone is supported?

    I hope someone knows the answer to my questions?

    Hello Jeroen

    To swap the drive HARD on this laptop is not easy. Sounds stupid, but the unit must be dismantled completely. You need to remove the keyboard and on the left side, there is cable that connects the HARD drive with main card. To remove the HARD drive the upper eyelid must be separated from the bottom. It is not a simple procedure, and if you do it yourself, you should be very careful.

    As far as I know this device supports up to 10 GB HARD disk.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

  • I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

    So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

    But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello!

    The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

    The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
    But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

    The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

    Hello

    Satellite A200 is a more recent series of laptops. This series of laptop use and support the SATA HDD controller and this means that you need a SATA HDD!

    The laptop runs the 2.5 hard drives. The speed of the HARD drive is not very important for compatibility so that you can choose 4200 RPM or other

    In addition the SATA controller has no limitation in size so THEORETICALLY, you should be able to use hard drives with 320 GB or more
    But in some cases rare BIOS would not be able to manage some HARD drive sizes, but this generally isn't the case

  • Satellite Pro A200 - hard drive has lost half it's memory

    I have a toshiba Satellite Pro A200 on Vista. Vista came preloaded and I not all disks for it. I got it from the new (Sept 2007). The hard disk is divided into units. Recently my C drive has filled competely and I now no space left (went 55gigs) I store some data in this drive. All my multimedia elements (music, photos, and other files) is in my E drive. I have to run C Cleaner whenever I start in order to have enough space for the operation of the computer. I also remove all but the last restore point in order to function.

    I am at my wits end and think I must have a virus or something. Is there a way to restore the computer to the 'new '? I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive, so I don't mind from scratch. Not keeping in mind I have no install discs as Vista came preloaded.

    Can anyone help? Please, I beg you!

    Hello

    If you don't have a recovery disk, you can order from Toshiba for the money. Otherwise, you can get copy of Windows and installed with the drivers of Toshiba (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
    Then, you mentioned that hard drive has lost half it's memory, tell you if it was ok before but not available? Please check disk management, utility of the Panel. What is shown here?
