• Satellite A210-17I HARD drive replacement

  As the title suggests, I'm an Equium A210-17I... He suffered a fall while the car was still running.
  In any case, long story short, I reflected on a replacement of Hitatchi Travelstar and saw it as a good opportunity to update my space... IE: change my broken 160 GB drive to a replacement of 300 GB +.

  Now I'm sure with all the 2.5 "Travelstar with a SATA interface?

  Any help would be awesome on the subject... Here is an example of the type of replacement drive, I thought I'd do, but I kinda scared to buy the wrong one:

  This is just an example...

  Cheers for reading!
  Your comments are welcome, because this stuff is all pretty new to me!

  Hi dude

  Yes, you will need a SATA HDD!
  The 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive would be OK.
  To avoid a problem with a 300 GB HARD drive, because the SATA HDD controller should support more HARD drive as well.

  See you soon

• Satellite P25-S507 - HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S507, which more is under warranty and has begun to report S.M.A.R.T. errors.

  SmartMonitor reports a lot of questions especially marked as old age so I need to replace the disk. I was wondering if I can replace it with any standard 2.5 "ATA as an ATA-100 player. as the disk of 60 GB specification is ATA - 5.

  Any help appreciated.

  Maybe no one has replaced the HARD drive on this laptop because it s Autric series and is a European forum of Toshiba, and most of us have European workbooks

  But the P25 is very similar to the P20 series.
  The P20 supports an improved IDE (ATA-5) interface.

  Then you should be able to use IDE hard drives.

  If you want to use a faster disk (ATA-6 or later), then possibly the controller would have only allows the performance of ATA-5;
  ATA - 5 = Ultra DMA 66 = 4, = 6 MB/s UDMA-66 ;)

• On Satellite Pro A10 HARD drive replacement

  Hi all

  Ive currently got my moms Satellite Pro A10 sitting in front of me. Wouldn't load XP at all so I downloaded Knoppix and ran the liveCD on the laptop. After some tests, it seems that the HARD drive has failed.

  The vehicle currently has a 30GB HDD (MK3021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 T) with a rated output DC + 5V 0. 7A.

  Told me that any HARD drive would work so I ordered a replacement of 100 GB of Fuji, except its a little too long to drive HARD case and it seems to be the cause of my power light flashes orange. Rated power on it is + 5V 0.55 a.

  Im stuck, what do I do?

  Hello

  > told me that any HARD drive would work as well
  It is not quite correct! There are material limitations.

  I discovered that the phone supports 20 GB; 30 GB; 40 GB and possibly a 60 GB HARD drive.
  I m not 100% sure of more HARD drive sizes due to the limitation of the BIOS.
  You should know that not all HARD drive sizes are recognized by the BIOS.

  Further, you should take a look at the supported interface.
  The laptop supports an Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface and that's why you should buy a HARD drive that require this kind of hardware specification.

• Re: Satellite A40-151 - HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  Following my previous thread (where the hard drive from the A40-151 has been slow and most later made a terrible noise and ultimately did not appear in the bios).

  I would replace the drive. I went to the store today and the available drive capacity was well beyond the 30 GB Toshiba MK3021GAS unit. Started 80 GB up to 250 GB. I'm a little worried about the extra power, the speed, the conditions of heat and weather the BIOS recognizes it. Ideally, I would like to find a new MK3021GAS unit. The guy in the store seemed to think that it would be unlikely that someone would still do 30 GB (I guess than the IDE 2.5 "HDD) readers might therefore have to go down for a refurbished drive.

  Are there specific readers (speed, capacity, etc.) that do not work with the laptop?

  I'm suspicious to a repairer for Toshiba because the age of the laptop the labor costs can exceed the value of the laptop. However accept what are probably the only people to carry the part.

  Kind regards
  Ashley.

  Hey,.

  You re right. Satellite A40 uses s HARD drive with older IDE interface. This means that you need a new 2.5 HDD with IDE interface.

  As far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and this means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB. So if you buy a larger HARD drive, you pay for the disk space you can use t.

  So I recommend a 120 GB model or less. It should work properly! :)

• Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
  A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
  Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

  I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
  Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
  Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

  Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

  And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

  Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

  > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
  This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

  This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

  > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

  HARD drive problems are always difficult.
  In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
  But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

• On Satellite S2800-200 HARD drive replacement

  I have a Satellite S2800-200 and the hard drive just died.
  What can I replace the drive with?
  I looked at the Samsung MP0402H 40 GB hard drive, it will be ok or should it be a special player or some interface?
  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know, this unit came with 10 GB of HARD drive. I m not 100% sure if you unit supports most HARD drive. In this case, you must contact the Toshiba ASP because they have more experience in this case.

  Good bye

• Satellite A10 S213 hard drive replacement

  My Satellite A10 S213 is equipped with a MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 S (40 GB) hard drive. The disc is more often sounds strange and strong although it works well.
  But it will certainly not go long.
  I would like to replace the hard drive with something compatible and if possible with more capacity. About 100 GB would be perfect.
  So my question is:
  * Replace HARD MK4021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 S disk with more capacity there is for the Satellite A10 S213? *
  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  I guess that your laptop supports the IDE HDD controller.
  Eventually the media controller IDE HDD only 28 bit LBA which allows you to use max 120 GB HDD.

  I think you could install a larger HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro M40: HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive for my satellite pro m40 like my old man, we broke up I put the hard drive in the machine properly and it's the same speed, size etc, but the laptop does not recognize it at all.

  I tried to swap back to the old hard drive and he acknowledges, the news is a number of slightly different model a new the original is mk6022gax and original is mk6026gax. the two 60 GB, I am told. Please help me if you can.

  Thank you.

  Hi Ollie,

  The only reason I can think is that the new hard drive is may not be configured correctly for your laptop. I know that some Toshiba drives are supplied as C - salt rather than the more usual master configuration, but these are normally reported as such on the nameplate.

  It is possible to change the setting of the drive (see the following URL for details) http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/p69067/jumpers.htm

  It is also possible that the new disk is defective (unlikely but it should be considered).

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 4360 - HARD drive replacement

  I have a SP4360 with v.nosey 12 GB of HARD drive I want to replace. In the technical specifications for the 4360 it is listed as EIDE. I looked on EBuyer and there are a couple of replacement if necessary:
  Western Digital Scorpio 40 GB EIDE LP 2.5 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache (WD400VE)
  Scorpio 40 GB EIDE LP 2.5 5400 RPM 2 MB Ns (WD400UE)
  The WD400VE is listed as ATA-100 connector type, but the WD400UE is listed as EIDE. These use the same connector and either will work in my SP4360?

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure contact Toshiba service partner. I'm not 100% sure but I think he should avoid any problems. The only question is to know if the laptop can manage with whole HARD drive capacity.

  Good bye

• Satellite L10-103: HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  My hard drive is almost dead, and I would change it.
  I have two questions:
  -A 2.5 "hard drive fits in my laptop?
  -How can I change the hard drive, is there some kind of guide?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
  The HARD drive slot, you will find at the bottom of the laptop.
  To remove the HARD drive, you should only remove the slot cover.
  (You will find the details in the user manual)

  AFAIK the device has been supported with 40 GB HARD drive
  I think you can also use 60GB and 80GB HDD without any problem of BIOS.

  Hope this info can help you a bit.

• Cannot retrieve Satellite L300 using HARD drive recovery option

  Hello

  I'm trying to restore to factory settings but have no luck.

  I tried pressing F8 when the toshiba logo comes back, it goes to the screen of boot in advance and I select computer repair and it boots to windows. I don't get the recovery options.
  I also tried pressing zero when switching on the laptop just rings home.

  What im I doing wrong?

  It is a vista running L300-149

  As I see all you do is right.
  Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times and you will enter the Advanced startup options

  The first option should be repair your computer and after two or three steps, you should see The System Recovery Options , and last option there Toshiba recovery.

  Have you used this recovery options in the past or you are trying to use it for the first time?

• Satellite L300-A13 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  I need to replace my drive hard because I got a disc error and I could hear noises from him. Someone knows the size of the current hard drive replace (either 3.5 SATA or whatever it is)?

  No space memory but actual size, so it can fit inside my computer and someone know a tutorial to replace by yourself?

  Hello

  To replace the HARD drive, you need a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. These 3.5 HARD drive you want to say are only for desktop PC s peut t used in laptops to buy a 2.5 so one.

  But it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive or the size. Just look for a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface.

  Replace the drive is pretty easy: just remove the two screws on the underside of the cover of the HARD drive. You can exchange it.
  I know because I have the same laptop. ;)
