• Satellite L15-S104: upgrade HDD 40 GB

  I have a Satellite L15-s104 laptop I want to improve the stock 40 Gig drive to a 120 GB 5400 RPM 8 Meg Cache hard disk my question is how can I delete the old harddrive. I need step by step instructions. Also is my portable drive an ATA-6 or ATA - 100

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  If I remember correctly the HARD disc cover is placed on the side near the battery low, fixed with 3 screws. Remove them and disconnect the connector HARD drive mounting. HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive module and also fixed (4 screws).

  I hope you experience laptop disassembly and instructions how to do this and protect the equipment during the disassembly procedure. If this isn't the case, please be careful. Some stupid error will clear the guarantee if it is still valid.

• Satellite M30, upgrade disk hard - 120 GB

  I have laptop of subject and want to upgrade the disk the better. There is a 120 GB MK1233GAS.
  Could someone confirm if this could be used to replace my current MK4025GAs 40 GB drive. Could there be compatibility problems? Is also advertised disc here at the http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/119571 - identical to the MK1233GAS.

  Would be grateful for any advice

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop has 40 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB built-in HARD drive.
  If you also use a 100 GB HARD drive but I don't know about m 120 GB hard drives.
  The problem is that Toshiba does not provide all the official documents and information
  on the max supported size of HARD drive and therefore we can only speculate.

  You could simply test the HARD drive.
  If the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD disk, you can send it to the garage.
  I think that this should t be a problem.

• Can I go through Satellite Pro 4300 with disk HARD mk8032GAX?

  Hello and thanks in advance. The question is: can I upgrade the hdd by default in satellite pro 4300 with mk8032GAX model?

  (Sorry for my English)

  Concerning

  The question is whether the laptop and the BIOS is able to manage the size of the HARD drive.
  The mk8032GAX is a 80 GB, 2.5 HARD disk at 5400 RPM and 8 MB cache.

  I discovered that this laptop supports these drives:
  5,59 GB Toshiba MK6414MAP, Toshiba MK6411MAT
  11.2 GB Toshiba MK1214GAP
  16.9 GB Toshiba MK1814GAV

  Perhaps also a 30 GB might be compatible, but to be 100% sure, a test is necessary.

• Satellite A100 - 003 (PSAARE) - disk HARD help upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit installed and 3 GB of RAM 667 MHz.
  I want to spend my hard drive. But I don't know which model is most suitable for my computer.

  There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?

  If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.

  Thank you.

  > There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  > What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?
  The 7200 RPM drive is faster than the or 5400 RPM HARD drive. This allows read and write faster data on the HARD drive, but to be honest; in most cases, this difference is not noticeable

  > If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  No, normally you should not get any problem the two type of HARD drive are compatible with laptops

  > If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.
  To be honest, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive. The SATA controller is not limited to a capacity of HARD drive that you can take any disk of your choice

• Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

  Hello

  I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
  Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
  would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
  A reboot cold was the only solution.
  I was told to replace the HD I did but the
  problem persisted with the new HD.

  I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
  At this point, the warranty period has increased.
  Frost started happening more regularly, and
  now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
  It starts and then try to boot from the network,
  because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

  At this point, I think I need a new system board.
  Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
  before?

  Thank you
  Ray

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the CD/DVD drive or the HARD drive?
  The laptop recognizes one of these devices?
  Have you used the devices recommended by Toshiba?

  in any case, this seems very strange and the dysfunction of the motherboard is not impossible

• Update disk hard iMac 7.1 to SSD

  Hi guys,.

  Here, simple and fast. Because I have 1 million of Apple products, I would not hesitate to upgrade to the new iMac and would in a heartbeat. That being said, this thing WON'T DIE OR EVEN slow DOWN! This is the most amazing piece of technology I've ever owned!

  I upgraded the iMac from its original 1 GB to 4 GB, now to run El Capitan. Take it from me, for an iMac 2007 7.1, it works very well. We are talking here 9 years.

  Recently I got to know that I can also boost performance by changing to an SSD. Considering it's still practically the State up, don't want to DIY it. Where should I go? Help me keep this miracle machine will please [not that there is anything wrong with the current hard drive].

  Thank you

  Shah

  Probably not at an Apple Store. They take over the material that is 5 years or less.

  Are - you sure you want to an SSD?  I assume that you do not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a large SSD, but can a weight loss in drive to work for you?

  Yes, a performance boost, but if it was me I would not that worth, taking into account the cost.  Is a 9 year old computer and a reasonable size disk + labor will cost you a few hundred to save a few seconds start time of application.

• Re: Update disk hard Equium A200-196 - hidden partition

  Having bought just my A200-196, I realize the original 80 GB hard drive will not be soon enough. I want to update before I add too much software. Question is what I do on the hidden partition "EISA Configuration". I guess if it is not present I won't be able to do a system restore. I don't know if I need to copy (clone) for the new 160 GB drive and if so what utility used to copy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
  Richard

  You are right. Vista operating system creates two partitions; one for the operating system and the other (hidden partition) for the restoration of the system.
  If you delete this partition, then you will not be able to use Vista's system restore feature

• Satellite Pro 6100 - memory / disk HARD upgrade

  Hello

  Ive got two questions regarding the upgrade of this laptop:

  My units equipped with a 60 GB hard drive. What is the maximum size possible? What is the bios (Im running the real 1.9) support? These days this drives 2.5 "are available up to 160 GB. I could just buy one, stick it in and my uncle bobs? Or will I run in serious trouble?

  I would switch the system memory to 1 GB, so two sticks of 512 MB should be used. I could use all the modules, which meets the toshibas specifications? 200Pin SO-DIMM, DDR 266, 32Mx8 organization. Or I have to buy a special memory, which would be a lot more money?

  Hello, my friend ;)

  I think the 160 GB is a dream that I n t think you will be able to use this large HDD.
  Maybe a 80 GB HDD works, but I don't know about it Mr. I think you should test it.

  Laptop supports modules of RAM DDR PC2100 and I think you should use the modules recommended by Toshiba. The modules are:
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  By the way: modules without a name are not recommended because performance is not great

• Memory and disk HARD upgrade question - Satellite 5200 801

  Hi all

  I really need your help to upgrade my toshiba Satellite 5200 801 (model: PS520E-31P1D-EN), basically it's the version specification factory (technical instructions on the link below)
  http://www.cwrose.de/Toshiba/S5200.html

  What I want is to get faster internal memory, you can buy for this model (currently I have two default 256 mb DDR 266 MHz CL2.5 memory sticks). Will probably do a gig of memory (I could have more, but it depends on the price).
  As well, I want to spend the HD to 160 gig (about), as well as get a faster hard drive then the current 60gig 4200 RPM Hitachi HD (as soon as possible for the specifications of my laptop).

  Anyone know what would be the best option?

  Someone said that it would cost all under 100 (that would be cool), but I don't know anything about the compatibility of different companies etc.
  Can anyone recommend what equipment... .and where * I hope that ebay or studs :)
  I need to go to get this sorted out

  PS:
  FYI, I mostly use the laptop for graphic design, video, and the interwebz.

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Hello

  You can upgrade the Satellite 5200 801 memory and HARD drive.
  S for laptop computer memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM. So you can use 2 x 512 MB PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

  Check this link 5200-801 Satellite:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6116&ft=m&St=3

  In my opinion, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers, but the module must support these specifications: 200-Pin PC2100 (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM
  I suppose you could also use a 400 Mhz because the laptop supports a 400 Mhz FSB too.

  I think that an upgrade of the IDE 160 GB HARD disk is not possible. To my knowledge, the BIOS can support such massive size of the HARD drive. But this is only my personal opinion. If I was you I would try a smaller HDD like 100 GB or 120 GB.

• Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

  Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

  Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
  The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

  I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
  In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

• Update disk for Satellite M30X-102

  Hello

  No one knows what drives I can install in my M30x?
  Currently, I have a 40 GB toshiba drive. I would like to know if BIOS supports more than 80 GB drives.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Well, I quite agree with the position of the user of the comments above.
  If you use a disk HARD with size is not compatible if the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive successfully.
  You must use the HARD drive with the size of the support.
  But in your case the Satellite M30X should support 40 GB HARD disk sizes / 60 GB and 80 GB 5400 RPM and a size of 100 GB HARD drive at 4200 RPM.

  Goodbye :)

• Re: Satellite A100-220 - 250 GB hard drive update

  Bought the new 250 GB hard drive, but with it cant start System. The version of the BIOS is 1.80 I have to update so that it will support 250 GB? I think that's the problem because when I remove the hard drive from the system can start. Can you post the link to the download for a newer version of the BIOS if there is a previous hard drive was 40 GB?

  Thank you

  Hi andmk,

  I doubt that your computer will start if you remove the HARD drive. If no HARD disk is installed the computer is not able to boot and start Windows because the disk HARD, the operating system is installed.

  In any case, what exactly happens if you install the new HARD drive?
  Is it recognised in BIOS?
  Can you do a recovery on the new HARD drive installation?

• Update disk on the Satellite M60-139

  Hello Forum friends and once again greetings from Cologne/Germany.

  Can anyone tell me what size I can switch the disk hard 80 GB of my M60-139 origin? I think it would be nice to have more space but I have heard that not every hard drive works with this model and its BIOS?

  So did someone has changed the internal hard drive--that model, what size and what service... partition? Any manual how to change?

  Concerning
  Friedel

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HDD, maybe also a 120 GB but I m not 100% sure of this size of HARD drive.
  Try it simply.
  It is important that the HARD drive will support the enhanced IDE ATA-6 interface and the 5400 RPM disk rotation.

• Question of installation disk hard satellite 4090

  I received a Satellite 4090, but there is no hard drive. Can someone tell me how to adapt it. I don't see anywhere on slot, so I guess that the case should be opened. Also are the same all drives hard toshiba.

  I've seen a lot on ebay, but they don't say what model they are intended.

  Hopeful Alan

  Toshiba Satellite 4030, 4060, 4080, 4090, 4100 series

  1. remove all cables.
  2 lower the cell next door.
  3. the HARD drive compartment on the side front right / laptop
  4. remove the 2 screws of the HDD bay cover and remove the cover.
  5 remove the 1 screw that secures the HARD drive in place.
  6. gently slide the HARD drive out of the compartment.
  7. slide the new hard drive into the hard drive compartment and replace the 1 screws to secure the HARD drive.
  8 replace the Bay covers and 2 step 4 HARD drive screws.
  9. replace all cables.

  Hope this helps, you can also try here for a disk hard http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=EU&highlightOption=15528&PR ODUCT_ID 5685 = & DISC_MODEL = 0 & tab = 1

  It might be better to get an external hard drive possible hard drives only I could find for this model were only 6.4 GB so you will not be able to upgrade to a larger h/d coz your laptop do not recognize, all if someone else might be able to answer this question better than me Good luck
