• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Once you have your new drive installed and your recovery disc made available:

  Place the first recovery disc in the DVD drive, and then press the power button. If prompted to press a key to boot from the DVD do. In the Recovery Manager, select the factory reset. Who will install the operating system and all the partitions that were on the original hard drive.

  Can I use the recovery disk to install the OS?  on this new HARD drive? Yes and Yes

  Can I use the product key on the stikcer on the bottom of the laptop to activate win7? Yes

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite L305 - recovery after HARD drive installation

  The hard drive on my L305 Satellite is out and had to replace it. Ordered the Toshiba recovery disks and have spent the last two hours Exchange back and forth every minute or so when you are prompted. Is this normal or should I try something different?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  I m confused about your ad normally, you can install the recovery image of Toshiba Recovery on each HARD disk drive. Just boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be installed automatically.

  What exactly happens if you start from the recovery disk?

• Satellite A200 UH1 - 2nd hard drive Bay

  Hi all!

  Could someone explain me how to connect a second HDD in secondary housing of this laptop?

  I opened the cover, but there is no plug or the connector to install a.

  What I see, seems I have to buy a few extra parts, but I have no idea what.
  The manual is saying that he has this Bay (so it is usable as Toshiba worth to write his presence in the manual).

  Can someone help me?

  I really wish for reason practical for a keg external HDD will reduce the autonomy of the laptop when it is on battery.

  Thank you!!!

  If you want to connect a second disk of this machine slot that there must be a connector and if you don t have a t, you can put in a second HDD.
  Not every Satellite A200 has such connector.
  On the second HARD drive Bay, I founded the following information in the user manual:
  > HDD2: the availability of this functionality depends on the model you have purchased

  But you can use a second HDD in the slot of the CD/DVD drive. For this you can use a Bay for a second HDD.
  Ask an ASP for this part. They can order.

• Satellite A200-1N2 what HARD drive are supported?

  Hello

  I have an A200-1N2, with the original 120GB hard drive.
  I would like to upgraded to a larger capacity HARD internal disk.
  Can you please me, whose internal hard disk capacities and types (only IDE?) are supported?

  Thank you very much!!
  Leor

  > Can you please tell me, what capacity internal hard drive and types (only IDE?) are supported?
  First of all, for all IDE HDD is NOT supported, because the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller. Therefore, use of SATA 2.5 hard disks.

  Given that the SATA controller is not limited to any size, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  Hey Buddy

  I can confirm the info posted by Gantz. The Win XP needs a driver extra SATA.
  The SATA driver is a part on the Intel Matrix Storage Manager and can be downloaded from the Toshiba page or from the Intel Web site.

  But listen; This theme seems to be one of the top 10 questions and it has already been discussed here in the forum. Then, use the advanced search option and check the other assignments for the Intel Storage Manager!

  See you soon

• Satellite A200 PSAE6E: no HARD drive during the installation of XP

  Hi Vandeven,

  I have the same laptop that you are, but I have difficulty to get Windows XP to recognize the hard drive.
  It keep saying there is no hard drive detected.

  I don't have a floppy drive either.

  Is there another way to install Windows XP without the SATA Driver?
  My bios is 2.10 and I can switch to a different bios it wont let me. Keep saying bad Bios!. But isn't.

  Please help as I am sick and I tried Windows Vista...
  Programs slow and inconsistent.

  Thank you much in advance.

  Why you n t use the forum advanced search option and search for similar topics?

  Installing driver SATA doesn't concern only the A200 series.
  On most new notebook Series SATA, driver installation is necessary.

  In any case if you want to use the search option, then you would find this Toshiba document:

• Satellite 2410: password for HARD drive suddenly appears

  Hello

  I was not the 'end user' when the problem arises that he was a friend.

  When the computer has been listening and music recording, it became slow and finally stop reacting.
  The user then restart windows XP, this leads to a scandisk at startup phasis.
  The seams of scan to stop nearly 80% (long, who?, without progress) and the iddle computer has finally stopped with an empty battery.

  When restarting ask a HDD password?

  Is this a known reason? a solution?
  I have to take into account that the drive is dead?

  Thank you for your answers?

  Hello

  As far as I know if the HARD drive password has been set and you don t know this password, so there is not much to do. It is not possible to remove it. This is why a new HARD disc has to be ordered.

• Satellite A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
  HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

  1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

  2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
  This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
  As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
  Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

  But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

  > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
  You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

• Satellite 1410: I forgot the password for HARD drive

  Hi Please help!

  I really need to get to this unblock as im very new to comps. whenever I start my pc it ask me password for HARD drive...
  I need all the help to get this open

  Help, please

  Hello

  AFAIK, you need the old HARD drive password to clear the password disk HARD asking.
  If you have forgotten the password to disk so you don t have any other possibility to get into the HARD drive. In this case, the HARD disk is unusable and unfortunately you need a new HARD disk drive. :(

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - hard drive Partition - help

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 mobile - cell PSU45E-005005EN

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo (T8400) 2.26 GHz, the front side Bus speed: 1066 MHz, level 2: 3 MB Cache
  3072 MB (1024 + 2048 MB) DDR2 RAM
  250 GB hard drive
  Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition

  What I've found, is that the hard drive is partitioned into two separate drives

  1. the drive C - 117 GB - hand player - all programs, user accounts and files of work / are saved on the C drive.
  2 drive E - 113 GB - A folder titled HDDRecovery (size 4.42 GB) nothing elese is on the E drive.
  3. This only totals to 230 GB, then where is the other 20 GB?

  I want to know/how is is:

  1. Why are we doing this way?
  2. What is the purpose of the file recovery Drive E and it does not require the space of 113 GB?

  3. If I increase the size of drive C to say 55GO and decrease the size of drive E?
  3.1 is it possible?
  3.2 what impact will?

  4. the drives C and E only total 230 GB so where is the other 20 GB?

  Can someone please help

  Thank you very much

  (1) the HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions and not 2! Go to the disk management utility and you will see that there is a hidden partition. This hidden partition is created by Vista. It contains the necessary backup files that are needed for the repair of the system, if something goes wrong with your operating system.

  (2) the second partition contains the record of recovery of HARD drive that allows you to retrieve the laptop without using recovery discs. But of course, you are able to create a recovery disk and it s highly recommended to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  3.1 I think that this could be possible, but before that you'd change any partition size I recommend the creation of the recovery disk because there is a high risk that after changing the size of partitions you drive HARD recovery option does not work.

  3.2) see point 3.1

  4.) I think the other hidden partition using this 20 GB. Also please note that 250GB are not really 250 GB 1 GB is not 1000MB but 1024MB.
  This means that the 250 GB HARD drive is not 250 000 MB but 238 418 MB
