Satellite A50 - I put in another HARD drive?

I have Toshiba Satellite A50-110. My hard drive is broken.

Can I put HDD 2.5 "PATA 0160 GB WD Scorpio Blue 5400 RPM, 8 MB, WD1600BEVE rather old one?

Hello

First of all you need a need a portable 2.5 HDD PATA or IDE s interface let. If I understand your post correctly that you want to use a 160 GB model.

As far as I know Satellite A50 limits the 28-bit LBA. This means that you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
So you should check the HARD disk controller that LBA limit there.

Is 120 GB drive HARD enough for you?

  • Satellite L300 - several bad sectors on HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm very angry with my Satellite L300 - 14G. One morning, my computer refuses to boot Vista, each attempt ended with a crash and go back to the choice of startup (with 'repair my computer', 'safe mode' and 'start windows normally').

    I could save my data with a utility disk and try to "HDD Regenerator V1.71", which located a number of bad sectors on the HARD disk. I decided to put my computer as on the first day with the built-in utility.
    Two weeks ago, the same problem.

    I bought another hard drive and replaced it. Reinstalled Vista and my data... 1 month later... still the same problem (currently HDD Regenerator is scanning and find bad sectors 185!)
    I don't think that would be caused by a virus. I use Nod32 and I don't do anything illegal with my machine.

    Some mistakes seem to be generated every day... until the crash of the OS...
    Anyone have ever seen such a problem?
    (I bought in September 2008... no guarantee more for my machine)

    Let's take a look at your problem:

    -hdd went wrong and you are using a third party program to fix
    + Why don't check you with "chkdsk" and read the smart values of the disc? +
    -you bought another hard drive and after a short period of time the same failure occurs
    + was the new hard drive, a big and cheap or a little and a little expensive? +

    We will analyze what happened to your hard disks:
    -recovery written datas sectorwise back in training > bad sector crashed > and an error occurs
    -second hdd also went wrong > if this isn't a sustainable (expensive) hdd, it went bad because of operation > do you often take your laptop with you?

    This brings me to:
    -check the smart get more information
    -chech crc when reading from another source on the hard drive to verify if the hard drive or the controller or your memory gone bad
    -get a 'good' hdd or spend it on tests
    -make a recovery and everything right after a chkdsk to make sure that the file structure is ok before working with

  • Satellite L350D-21 problems using new HARD drive recovery recovery disks

    Hello

    I have laptop SATELLITE L350D-212 with windows 7 Home premium OA.
    He started to complain that there is something wrong with the hard drive so I went and bought another hard drive of the same size.

    I created the recovery disk when the computer was purchased and have backup of all the data in an external hard drive.

    After I changed the new hard drive to the laptop and tried to boot from the recovery disc, nothing happens eventhoug I can see it seems to be all Ok with the disc.

    Any ideas on how to get to run to the new hard drive recovery?

    I have the old hard drive attached as external drive via the USB port, but cannot boot from that too. It just stops at a certain point and told to stop.

    Hello

    Usually, the recovery disk must format the new HARD drive but I recommend you to join the new HARD drive as an external device to another computer and format the new HARD drive before trying to recover the laptop.

    Once the HARD drive has been formatted, connect it to the L350D and boot from the recovery disc

    Good luck

  • Satellite A200 - upgrade to 1 tera HARD drive

    Hi guys,.
    MY laptop Satellite A200-10w, I want to ask you if there is a place to install the second HARD drive or not, and then I put my 1 TB HDD (1 tera) or the motherboard does not support this?

    Thank you

    If I remember well on the underside, you'll find two HDD cover. Remove the other and check if the HARD drive connector is available.
    If the connector is where you can put the second HARD drive.

    What about new HARD drive. I think you're the first person who wants to have 1 tera HARD drive in the laptop. As far as I know that some new notebooks support hard drives up to 500 GB and I'm not sure 1 tera will be recognized correctly.

    Lets see if someone else can confirm this.

  • Satellite A50 - after Exchange of disc HARD, I have the same ability

    Hello, I just changed the old 40 GB HDD in A50 a new 60 GB HARD drive.

    Until I changed it, I used True Image to do a backup of the old HARD drive file so that I can get everything to the new HARD drive. However, when I did the HARD drive has everything on the old HDD but the capacityis changed to 40 GB... ! I then use the restore on the new HARD drive CD and hoping the capacity can be changed to 60 GB, but it can not...
    However, when I went to disk management I see there is an another parition (black color) with the remaining space, but it does not appear in my computer...

    Is anyone know how can we recover the remaining space?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Normally if you clone a HARD drive, you can also change the size of the partition. I also use Acronis True Image and if I clone a HARD drive I will be asked for each size of the partition.
    Check again!

    However, now you must delete all existing partitions and then create a new one with the capacity of 60 GB. For this, you can use a Microsoft XP disk for example.
    After that, you can start to install windows using Toshiba recovery disc. Then, you should have the full capacity of 60 GB.

  • Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hi all...
    I would like to ask something...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

    I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
    I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

    (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

    (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
    May I take in an informal shop, too?

    (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
    Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

    Thank you in advance...

    Hey Buddy

    It is good that ask you the question.

    (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

    (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

    (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

    (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
    Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

    Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
    The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
    So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

    Good bye

  • NTLDR is missing - when you try to install Windows 7 on another hard drive

    I have a PC Compaq Presario SR2027X a/w Win XP Media Center Edition SP3 installed.  I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine if WIN 7 would go on my system.  The airport of Win 7 Upgrade Advisor said that I could install Win 7.  I bought Win 7 32 bit and 2-1 GB PC5300 memory sticks.  I first installed the memory and booted up the system.  Everything worked well.  BIOS has seen the new memory and I have not encountered any error.

    I then turning the system off and removed the HDD (120 GB Sata).  I installed another hard drive (160 GB Sata) which had been restructured and ready to use.  The BIOS detects the hard drive and the BIOS has been changed for a start of the OPTICAL drive.  I then placed the WIN 7 32-bit software disk in the OPTICAL drive and saved the changes in BIOS and rebooted the system.  I was expecting to see the normal WIN 7 screens during the installation.  Instead, I got "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart".

    Then I tried pressing ESC during boot to enter the boot menu.  Once in the boot menu, I select the optical drive and now I get the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER".  I opened and close the optical drive optical drive light lights up, and I then press on enter.  I get the same message on "DISK BOOT FAILURE,...» ».

    I built more than 40 PC and have never had this problem.  Is there something unique about Compaq/HP PC's that prevents me to install WIN 7 on another hard drive that is not the original hard drive came with this pc?

    HP / Compaq computers are no different from any other computer on the market. You can install Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 on almost all made within the last 7 years.

    I think that your problem is due to a failure of CD/DVD drive or disk installation of Windows 7 corrupt or unbootable. Please check that the CD/DVD drive is fully functional and functional as should be. Also, check that your Windows 7 disc is free of errors and that it is bootable. If necessary, you can download a Windows 7 SP1 ISO from HERE and HERE and also download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • I want to add another hard drive to my computer pls HELP

    OK, so I want to add another hard drive for my windows xp, 512 MB of ram and 32 GB of hard drive and it's a Dell Dimension 3000/desktop PC.

    How can I get a new one, how do I know if it is the right type, where I'd get a? Thank you for your help :D

    You look at the manual of your system, see what kind of connection there / what lead types/sizes it can manage and buy appropriately.

    However - given the age of this system - I'm just down, buy an external USB drive and use it.  You will eventually be able to take to any machine use - including the one that replaces the one you have.

    I use windows xp svc pack 3. some how it gets corrupted now and all my important data is in the folder my documents on my desk. I got my account with a password. I tried to repair my widows through the recovery console, but I was unable to open a session in my Windows through this procedure just stuck computer is there. even when I tried to fix it through the installation of windows, Setup also stuck on the step where it says "in search for earlier versions of windows."
    now, I tried to copy the data by accessing another operating system on another hard drive but when I opened my account administrator located in the documents and settings folder, it says access is denied. I really need that data on these files is very important to me.
    If you have an administrator password in windows, then the recovery console would need in order to log in the disk system, i.e. the c prompt.
     
    If you tried to do a repair with the cd, then it may not have worked if your cd is the sp2 version of windows on your computer has been updated to sp3 version.  for the sp2 of xp cd works, you will need to uninstall the update to sp3 via Add/Remove programs.
     
    so, now that you have enslaved the hard drive on another computer, you will need to do is try to take ownership of the files/folders:

    Hello

    strange that you can request that

    HP computers have been known to not let you install Vista on a non HP bought replacement hard drive

    There were a few posters with this problem here

    If the OEM disc for this particular laptop, you should be able to reinstall it as many times as you want as long as you have not changed the main material (the motherboard)

    You can change the hard drives, RAM, etc.

    I presume that you boot from the Vista DVD
