Satellite L30-11 - cannot start with drive HARD 750 GB (Sata II)

Hello world

I want to move to the size of the HARD drive in my laptop satellite L30-11th 120 GB at 750go (seagate momentum).

I mist update BIOS firmware to the latest version (on the Toshiba site: V 3.1).
When I start a press the F2 key at the same time, I can access the BIOS that shows the HARD drive. However, when I try to go further and to boot on the Windows 7 installation disc, nothing happens (although it does not start when I put the original 120 GB HDD).

I have another (also Sata II) 320 GB HARD drive that works well.
So, it doesn't seem to be a problem of Sata, but more a question of size?
Any idea what it could be?
If it's a question of size, how I can fix my pb?

Thank you very much in advance for any help that you could give me

In my view, there is compatibility problem. Maybe you should not go over Board with upgrade of the HARD drive.

Buy a HARD drive with a reasonable capacity. 400GO not enough for you?

  • Satellite A660 - will not start initialize drive HARD failure

    Hello
    first of all thank you for your time.

    Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)

    The problem started yesterday, the computer has been going slowly as a closed application, so I held the off button until the pc is turned off. When I restarded the laptop, it went to a screen saying: start windows normally or repair Windows (recommended)

    When started normally it hangs just a blank screen, repair Windows recommends a system restore to a previous point that did not work. As it crashes again. I tried pressing F8 and boot in safe mode, but even once it just hangs. Then, after having repeatedly tried safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After that, the computer passes in front of the Toshiba logo with F2 and F12 options screen (which still works) and then it rises the initialization has failed then shuts off and comes with start-up bootfailed failed with a few numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box entitled menu starting with 4 options. These are some
    Toshiba MK6465GSX HDD/SSD
    CD/DVD MAST * UJ141ES ABD - CMB
    FLOPPY DRIVE
    LAN

    If I press ESC, it passes through the loop of bootfailed and ends at the same screen, if I press on enter "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then he quickly returned to the screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] failed.

    I do not understand why it has gotten worse over time. Can anyone think why it occurred and more importantly, how can I get my pc working again? Note: held 0 then start does nothing for me atm

    Hello Matthew,.

    To be honest, I agree with Akuma and it could be related to a dysfunction of HDD the error you described, but ensure 100% there s no software problem, you should try the Toshiba Recovery disk Windows installation. Something may be confused until the Windows installation and recovery of files on the HARD drive, so it cannot be started. Recovery disc will resolve this problem by formatting the HARD drive and restoring the settings box.

    If it still doesn t it work s hardware malfunction but an authorized service provider can solve these problems under warranty for free. So just contact the guy and ask for help. ;)

    If you have other questions or already solved the problem, please let us know!

  • Satellite Pro A200 - cannot start with new RAM

    I have two of these laptops, both purchased at the same time.
    I upgraded to 320 GB hard drive and tried to move the RAM to 4 GB as the spec States can be made.

    I used the recommended type of RAM, but the computer does not start with two RAM modules inserted. If I remove one of them, the laptop boots! I thought that I update the BIOS but found the only version available on the download web site is the same as I.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

    What RAM you bought? I think that the modules are not compatible or your chipset does not support the 4 GB.
    Check it with CPU - Z!

    You could test the RAM with Memtest86 ([www.memtest86.com]).

    I doubt that a BIOS update will solve the problem. A more recent BIOS does not change the decision-making ability and/or supported RAM.

    Hello

    I had a similar problem on my computer but was able to fix it.
    I took my CD of Win XP and started the repair console.

    Then I used the command Chkdsk and scanned and repair files and sectors on the HARD disk.
    Then I used the Fixboot command. He writes a new boot sector on the system partition.
    Finally used Fixmbr command that repairs the boot partition's master boot code.

    The problem is that my hard drive is scrap, so I purchest a new 500 gb HDD, instaled it put in the disk I got with him and nothing?
    Hope any 1 here can help me

    Thanks a lot steve!

    In general you can swap the HARD drive or update it with more a (ability), but the installation of recovery should work. It is important to use compatible HARD drive for certain system.
    I did several times in the past. No problem at all.

    After HDD change the value of the BIOS default settings and start recovery installation using created the recovery disc.

    Start your laptop and when you see Toshiba welcome screen pres F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
    When the menu is displayed on the screen, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive.
    In the menu choose you CD/DVD and press ENTER.
    Installation of recovery should start.

    Please do so and send feedback.

  • Satellite L30-113 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    I have a Satellite L30-113. Recently my driver failed for my dvd player, until I was able to install a few things and burn CDs and DVDs. Now, I can't record CDs or DVDs.

    Nero and CDBurnerXP for CD/DVD ROM say 'cannot continue burning process as you did not choose the device for recording. CD/DVD ROM propities shows that it does not support recording CDs and DVDs.

    I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again. I am a driver update search and xp tells me that the driver is up-to-date. I checked the Toshiba updates with none of these updates for CD/DVD ROM.
    I have no idea on how to fix this unit "corrupted".

    Hi mate,

    I had a similar problem on my Toshiba laptop. So here, I searched a little bin forum and I founded to delete upper and lower filters in the registry. I followed the instructions in this Microsoft article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    After that, I again was able to burn DVDs.

    In addition, updated driver from CD/DVD isn't necessary because this driver is part of the operating system.

  • Re: Satellite L30 does not start after adding another stick of 1 GB memory

    I bought 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2 SODIMM memory module for my Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10v (PSL33E) to make it 2 GB. After you have added the 1 GB modules Satellite L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB, that it starts ok, with the other 1 GB origianal only boots ok. (The two modules are ZCE6 430 - K4T1G163QB Samsung 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2)

    The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem. (please see
    This [t-22984]. post)
    On this forum, someone bought the CT12864AC53E memory module which works, however I can't find this on the site of Crucial.
    I've heard other purchase the sticks of memory CT572238 and CT572234 and have the same problems.

    Memory Advisor says determinative buy the CT572234 memory sticks.

    I have also updated the bios to V3.10, still does not start with the two modules.

    I'm ready to buy 2 new modules, but what 2x1GB memory works?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    For me it s case;
    The two modules don't work together
    Seems the modules are not compatible there is only one solution. Replacement of RAM!

    Try other RAM modules.
    I bought a few modules from Kingston and made good experience

  • SOLVED: Why don't Satellite 4090XCDT does not start with DVD-R/W drive?

    Hello
    as I said in the other thread that has already been closed, I bought a used Satellite phone who would not start of 3rd party DVD - RW (Quanta Storage SDW-042) included, even if Windows couldn't read well enough.

    I found out why, starting with the help of the user answers in the other thread.

    In the user manual, there is a description in the capitel on the configuration of the system about tconfig, which proved to be a valuable indication: HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) (...), CD = secondary IDE (170 H/IRQ15). Compared to my desktop, it seems to me that two readers need to be masters on no. 1 and no. 2 cable, not as master and slave on the same cable from HARD drive. So, my CD-ROM would probably be master.
    Then I did the research further into the issue and found out, that there is no CD-ROM where select things cable if they are master or slave. Then I found in
    http://www.dschen.de/laptop_brenner/ a note in his Toshiba Satellite Pro 4290, seemed to be no Cable Select and his planned book on the CD (or DVD player, he wants to use) as a master.
    CSEL means that 47 Pin is connected to the Earth, which he did by applying a drop of Tin from Pin 47 to 49, pine, which is also Pin 47. I tried the same thing and disassembled the DVD drive that was in my notebook. (My record to disassemble my laptop and all editing again properly is now gone in 50 minutes). And know what, my Satellite 4090XCDT can now boot from the DVD-RW!

    To perform the task, I needed a screwdriver of the watchmaker to open the DVD RW (three live, then you need to insert a PIN to open the tray and see the back), a 12 Volt type iron pin solder for SMD and I ordered the strap of welding with a stereo microscope, so this task is not negligible. See the link mentioned to know what pins are bridged (sorry, the website is in German but the picture is clear: in the top row of pines, only you can see, the 2nd and the third from the right). And of course with a replacement part "scrap", you could give your laptop a second life, but you run a risk, because you may not know what you have, master or slave (for firmware or hardware), broken in any case, select cable - and one other Web site indicates that they looked up to 17 variants of firmware in exactly the same drive , depending on what laptop, it was intended for use.

    Nice display. Thank you very much.

  • Re: Satellite L310 - cannot start from the HARD disk

    Hello

    My L310 just died on me yesterday. My system just can not start, not even in Safe Mode. And it keeps trying to start using my network card, not through hard drive.

    I put the BIOS default settings, but it does not help.

    And she has this tone to loud continuous beep when it tries to start using the network card. A continuous beep, even on the screen of the BIOS and in safe mode.

    I chose the hard drive manually, but he keeps trying to start through the network adapter.

    And the laptop does not meet the keyboard. Even with a keyboard external usb. When I sometimes managed to boot my system on the rare occasion, I get to the login screen and cannot button my password.

    Does anyone have similar problems?

    Let me know. Thank you!

    Looks like your HARD drive is defective. BIOS recognize it?
    You should test the disk with Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

    Check this box and give us feedback. Maybe the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

    On the keyboard issue it is not easy to say what are the causes of the problem, but in the worst case that he should be replaced also. :(

  • Satellite Pro 480CDT does not start with mounted HARD disk?

    Hello
    I have tried several disks in my Satellite Pro 480CDT, but none of them starts. The screen stays black and the power led blinks orange (long, short, short, short, short, long, short, short). If I drive the machine past the on-screen "In Touch With tomorrow, TOSHIBA. He sees Windows CD-ROM or a floppy disk. I tried with 6 hard drives all below to 6 GB and AFAIK the work. I tried with another 480CDT a 220CS and a 2140CDS. Surely all hard drives and computers laptops have the same flaw? What I need to update BIOS or something as none of the drives are original for the machines.
    Help, please!
    Thank you

    John.

    Hi John

    I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. When the electronic power supply detects a power problem, it sends the hex code. In this case you should contact the technicians. They can read this code and will know what the problem is here.

    Just FYI: I discovered this disc HARD original for this unit has the P000244000 part number. Maybe it will help you get another HARD drive for testing.

    Sorry I can't tell you more info on this good old classic.

  • Satellite L10-144 - cannot boot from a hard drive

    In the bios the hard drive is first but the hard drive does not start automatically.

    Can you help me please?

    In your case I check the BIOS and load the default settings.

  • Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.

    My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?

    Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.

    and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

  • Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

    Hello together

    I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
    Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

    Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
    The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
    After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

    In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

    Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

    Anyone know a solution?

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
    It's worth to try ;)
