  are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

  buffer
  Number of PINS

  Hello

  I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

  If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro A120-128 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I'm seriously exhausted on HARD disk space and want to upgrade my HARD drive in my Satellite Pro A120 128. Is there a maximum size that I can update? This model takes SATA or IDE?
  Any suggestions on make & model disk HARD upgrade to?

  THX!

  Normally it should not be a problem to use a HARD drive this lager s like 137 GB because as much as I know there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface.
  But as said Akuma, test it before buying this drive.

  However, an IDE HDD does not fit in this notebook

• Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

  I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

  A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

  And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

  Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

  Hello

  Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
  It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

  The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
  Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

• Satellite A500 - 14 k - HARD Drive LED indicator always flashes

  Hello

  First sorry for my bad English

  I'm french and I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 14 k (http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A500-14K/1072806)

  I have a little problem with this laptop and I don't know if anyone has a solution

  The HARD drive light flashes constantly (1 blinking per second) even in safe mode. I checked some forums and I learned he had something to do with the function of autorun cd /dvd CD/DVD recorder.

  If the autorun feature is disabled in the windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\CDRom and the key value goes from 1 to 0) the flashing disappears, but I can't access my data from CD or DVD (media are marked as empty). However, the audio CD and video DVD work except that they cannot be started automatically.

  The same thing happens if the CD/DVD writer is disabled in the control panel Device Manager: the led indicator has a normal activity.

  I would like if this problem occurs with other owners of this product and if there is a solution to use normally without this flash recorder

  Thank you

  I don't have A500 but A300 and I can't say with certainty why this and what kind of HARD drive activity is ongoing, but what you can try is to remove some pre-installed Toshiba stuff like TEMPRO or pre-installed application antivir.

  When the laptop is new days that many updates will be installed and in the background is always a certain activity. Automatic update is disabled?
  Try also to remove TEMPRO. This tool is active permanent and search for updates.
  Try to optimize the operating system preinstalled and carefully monitor if something will change. I always do after clean operating system installation.

• Satellite Pro PSAI5E A1 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro model A1 - PSAI5E and I need to upgrade the hard drive.
  Does anyone know if it is easy to do with this model because it is old enough?

  More, I have to get a 2.5 IDE hard drive?

  Thank you very much
  Tom

  Hello

  The model A1 of Satellite Pro - PSAI5E is not known to me...
  Are you sure it s the right model number?

  In any case, you could install a hardware configuration such as Everest Home which would be to scan your HARD disk controller.
  Then you might get details on the interface
  Either it's SATA or IDE interface.

  Is based on the interface, you need an IDE or SATA HDD...

  Is it possible to use 2 of it?

  Another question.
  Can I install Windows XP 64 to use Windows Vista installation?

  Thank you very much.

  Herbert

  Looking at brochures, other models P200 can take 200 GB HARD drive, 320 GB * should * work, but don't take my word for it. There could be a compatibility issue.

  You can install 64-bit Vista, check for drivers 64-bit here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

  Hi all

  I am the owner of a Satellite A500-138 - Part Number: PSAM3E - 013014H 2.
  I just finished the upgrade of the o/s from the horrible vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Update was smooth. Drivers and utilities were easily on your website and install it correctly. Almost everything seems to beworking OK...
  I find myself with 2 numbers:

  1. the watch still an "unknown device" Device Manager
  Details of the device shows hardware IDs of ACPI/ENE0200 and * ENE0200
  What is this and where can I find the driver?

  2. I can't find the Manager of LAN/WLAN cool utility that came with vista.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi friend,

  Have you checked the device ID and the unknown device provider? You can check in the properties of the device.
  Maybe it s Bluetooth adapter if your laptop is equipped with such a

  Regarding the WLAN tool, I think you mean ConfigFree. You can download it on the Toshiba site. Maybe the version of Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting

  Hello
  I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).

  Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
  Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?

  Any tips?

  Hi Kannengiesser,

  Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.

  But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

• Satellite A500-138 - warmer on the left side of the touchpad

  Got a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 and it get hot in the left side of the touch pad.

  Can some help me?

  Hi atmo.

  Well, I think that some some areas on the laptop are always a bit warmer than other regions. I think that it s according to the hardware parts where is the cooling module and find CPU, graphics card, and chipset.

  You have problems? She is turned off without warning?

  What you can do is try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans:
