• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

• Satellite P100-429: Question about upgrading the processor

  When I bought this model 6 months ago I got this one with just a T5500 1.66 GHz but since then Intel reduced prices 40% it is me the upgrade option.

  Someone at - any idea how I can update, the following list lists the T7600 @ 2.33 GHz compatible on the Bus speed and execution step by step. The only difference being the memory cache L2, 4MB compared to my old one of the 2 MB that will have an effect.

  Thanks for anyones help.

  Hello

  Upgrading the CPU is a bit tricky on laptops and more often than not desirable and is not possible.
  After the CPU overheating upgrade, it would be possible that don t cooling modules are working properly and the laptop.
  Why? Well well, the CPU new and stronger products, more heat and the temperature would be Monte. The fan table that is stored in the BIOS will not correspond with the new CPU and the cooling fans would not correctly work.
  In addition, upgrading CPU will void your warranty! It's very risky!

  Anyway, looks like you certainly want to upgrade the processor?
  So I would check the chipset installed on your laptop.
  Try to know the details of the chipset and Intel page for compatible processors research!

• Satellite T110-121 - Question about disk and hard drive recovery

  Hello

  I started to use my nice new Satellite T110-12. How can I create a recovery disc?

  Why is there that a common message on the vibration has been detected, HDD head has been moved to a safe position? Is there something wrong? I would return it before the week is up?

  Please answer, thanks a lot a lot!

  Hi LindaMon,

  > How to create a recovery disk?
  What about reading your user manual?
  You need a 8 GB USB key for the creation of a support recovery and preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > head drive has been moved to a safe position?
  Yes, that's normal and everything is ok with your laptop. Your HARD drive will be protected by HDD/SSD Alert utility which is a nice feature of Toshiba to avoid accidents of the head and can improve the lives of the internal HARD disk.
  But yoou can disable these notifications if you want. ;)

• Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

  One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

  Best regards, Marian

  I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

  No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

  To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

  Reach
  http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
  read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
  and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

  Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
  After reading the manual you will be something like:

  1. program start, do something, restart the machine
  2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
  3. install the new driver
  3. reading of Bioshock
  4...
  5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

  So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  Welcomes :)

• 2400-103: question about replacing the HARD drive

  I'm trying to figure out how to replace my laptop HD. It is of a Satellite 2400-103. The HD is broken. I got it removed, but I'm not sure what to replace it with. Maybe a Toshiba MK - 3021 GAS, what can I get away with? Can I get a more general e.g. 40 GB storage device? Can I use a SATA device?
  The broken HD that came out is a Hitachi DK23DA-30F, but I find it difficult to find a local supplier of this exact model.

  Help, please.

  Hi guy,

  Your original drive is a 30 GB device, so you can replace it with a similar model from a different manufacturer and at the same time, to increase capacity (any where up to 80 GB should be fine according to your needs). I replaced my 30 GB with a Toshiba MK8025GAS drive there are many moons with no problems.

  One thing to know the rotation speed. Your Hitach1 drive is 4 200 rpm and you could in theory use a disk with a faster rotation (5 400 or 7 200 RPM), but this can generate excessive heat when using a lot of the hard disk activity.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2800-600: Question about upgrade the BIOS?

  I have Windows ME and XP Pro installed on my satellite 2800-600. On Toshibas downloads page have both their own updated BIOS. Which to choose, because the upgrade of BIOS are usable that with Windows ME and XP upgrade only with Windows XP?

  Hello

  I would use the BIOS XP because most producers BIOS meet OS at the level of the back. The BIOS for ME maybe not compatible with XP.

• Ask about upgrading the hard drive for X230T

  Hello world

  My post here so apologies if an error. I have a model x230T 3434-CTO (fairly old )

  It has 180 GB SSD drive, which is quite less and I intend to improve it with a larger capacity SSD. I researched and found that my options are

  (1) normal SATA III SSD as samsung 840 evo
  [url] http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-evo-Series-2-5-inch-MZ-7TE250BW/DP/B00E3W1726 [/ URL]

  (2) mSATA SSD like Samsung MZMTE512HMHP 512 GB mSATA SSD Solid slate Drive Mini PCI - E mSATA
  [url] http://www.Amazon.com/PM851-Internal-Solid-State-Drive/DP/B00HWI56DE [/ URL]

  I'm not an expert in hardware and need advice from members here. My query is these 2 types of ssd compatible with my X 230 model (model x230T 3434-CTO) and are there any specification of ssd, I must keep in mind while making the order. ?

  I plan to buy one 512 GB mSATA and I already 180 GB normal intel SSD on the laptop.

  Concerning
  TREX

  Welcome to the forum!

  The SSD/HDD in the Bay of 'main' should be 7mm, it is one thing to keep in mind.

  As regards mSATA - you can choose any one you want - and your current choice seems to be a reasonable, although I've never personally used the disk in question.

  FWIW, I have a 80 GB Intel mSATA in my X220T as boot drive and a 500 GB HDD classic in the Bay of 'main' for the data.

  Happy update.

• 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.

• upgrade the hard drive on Presario 17XL365

  Inherited this machine recently and I was wondering if I can upgrade the hard drive.  He got a Hitachi DK23BA-15 which is ATA - 66.  But I read that the chipset of the motherboard will be ' interface with ATA/66 hard drives in UDMA 2 mode "-a description of the site intel (North 82443BX/South 82371EB).  Intel® 440BX AGPset.

  So my question is, any laptop drive ide or eide will work with this?  Or I need to find a player who is specificially ATA-66.  Any info on the momentum and the size limitations would also be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  It's a record of 4200 RPM 15 gigabytes. You can use any portable player of up to 120 gig eide, but not anymore. Anyway, you would benefit from a rotational speed of 5400 RPM which is what you can find in the market these days, but will not improve your ATA - 66 maximum transfer speed. The most recent ATA - 100 or 133 readers interfacera just at the speed of 66 but faster speed of rotation of the drive will always access same time help lower transfer speed if that makes sense.

  The number of ATA - 66 is just the maximum theoretical speed, which you reach rarely, in any case.

• Upgrade the hard drive or consider a new ThinkPad?

  Hello

  I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R51e with a 40 GB hard drive. I'll soon be at the limit of ability, and I think to upgrade the hard drive.

  My laptop is under warranty until May 2009, says I guess some of you maybe understand my dilemma. Even the technology IBM says it was a difficult call. He suggested an external drive, but I really wanted to do as it would go against how I personally use my laptop.

  He gave me a 80 GB hard drive part number 13N6709 (it is the biggest hard drive I can go internally with the R51e) which will cost me $261,00

  I tried looking for answers to these questions, but the more I read more my head began to spin.

  There are a few questions (with the help of the people in this forum) I'm eager to know before investing more money in this laptop.

  Do I need other parts to install the new HDD?

  The Pro Windows XP was preinstalled by IBM/Lenovo. It will recognize my serial number to install it?

  All my recovery disks will still work with the new hard drive? Or do I have to buy a new game?

  I'd be better to just buy a new laptop?

  If, therefore, for those knowing what are the features that are on the R51e IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad would get the most bangs for the bucks?

  I'd appreciate really no knowledge that any of you can give me.

  Sincerely,

  Kat

  
  

• Upgrade the hard drive or the new laptop

  I currently own a mid-2010 Macbook Pro that works well (Apple store ran all the checks and he said everything was good), but there almost six years and I don't want to die any time soon (I need a laptop for school). I do not use the mac for something other than Microsoft Office, several tabs on browser, iTunes and occasionally streaming of netflix (just the basics, no game or something serious). Someone has advice or comments on what would be best? And if upgrading the hard drive seems to be a good option, does anyone have good recommendations?

  Here are the specs of my Mac:
  -Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
  -Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  -Hard drive: 500 GB storage

  In addition, Yosemite (10.10.5) running on the machine without any problem even if it is sometimes slow.

  Thank you!

  Use it as it is. Why update the drive? If you run lack of storage space on the disk, delete some files or get an external drive and move some files on the external drive. Make sure that you back up your data.

• Upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM for a 750 GB,

  If I upgrade the hard drive on my HP G62-149WM to a 750 GB drive (or maybe a 1 to) and use the factory purchased the set of recovery disks, it will install the recovery (hidden) on the disk partition, or not?  What IS the recovery partition, it will install (if installed)?

  Hello

  You can certainly move to a 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive, a 1 TB would also be possible, but it is not listed as a compatible hdd in a service guide. After a reset, the laptop will be in the same condition that you used for the first time (OS preinstalled). The recovery partition is going to be on the hard drive as well. Size is not too large, I think that it would be up to 15-20 GB...

• Failure to upgrade the hard drive T30 - blinking cursor - will not progress

  I have trouble to upgrade the hard drive on my Thinkpad T30.

  I'm trying to upgrade a 40 GB hard drive to a hard drive of 250 GB.  (New drive is the EVE of Western Digital WD Scorpio 2500 b)

  I used the Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to clone the drive.  Unfortunately, when I insert the new drive in the computer, booting stops and is at the level of the blinking cursor.

  I used the tools of Lenovo's PC to test everything.

  I have used Western Digital Lifeguard Tools to check the hard drive.

  I've updated my Bios and embedded controller program.

  When I start the computer and press F1 to access the Bios, the sign more shows next to the hard drive.  I understand that this means that the Bios recognizes the hard drive.

  I went into Setup to choose the hard drive as the boot device, but the computer still hangs at the level of the blinking cursor.

  When the new hard drive is connected to the computer by usb in an external case, it shows that the contents of the old drive is copied to the new drive.

  What should I do now to solve this problem and get the computer to boot from the new drive?

  A program, often recommended by the ortegeluis is Easeaus Disk Copy freeware that can help you.
