• Satellite L500-246 - HARD drive not found in BIOS

  Good afternoon

  My problem is that I have a Toshiba L500 - 246 to oblivion, put a password on Windows 7 and now, don't remember.

  I decided to start over and delete the entire computer. I clean the fan, I put thermal paste to the processor and the graphics card and decided to delete all partitions and create one.
  Want to boot from the DVD, I went into the BIOS to change the BOOT boot, and on the first screen, I get the following message: "HDD / SSD not installed '." I changed the settings in BIOS, but still the same.

  When I enter the Windows 7 DVD, you read me well until the window that says he needs the control disk, and in this window, I don't see any disk. I tried with two SATA drives, and I get the same message.

  Put his ear on the hard disk drive to start the laptop computer is the sound characteristic of light, but still do not leave anything in the BIOS.

  Now, enter in the browser to find the driver, I get the following:

  A X startup disk: 30 MB of capacity

  The USB flash drive appears as drive me C:

  And finally, I get the CD in D drive:

  Why could this be?
  Why do I get the USB as a C drive?

  Thanks and greetings

  Your ad is really confusing.

  First, it would be useful to know if the SSD or HARD disk drive is listed in the BIOS (BIOS first page)
  If his list, the HARD drive is OK and follow along you with the installation of the system
  If it is NOT listed, you need to replace the HARD drive

  Lets assume, the HARD drive is OK and you have started the installation.
  During the installation of Windows, you will be asked to add the SATA controller.

  You will find on the page of the Toshiba UE driver the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
  This driver contains the SATA files that you add during the installation of Windows.

  Hope this helps

• MORE BIG SATELLITE 2595CDT-COMPATIBLE HARD DRIVE?

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum.
  I have this problem.
  I want to improve my 6.4 GB hard drive in the Toshiba Satellite 2595CDT (acquired in the United States).
  I sent an email to Toshiba America and their Division of storage devices, but they keep forward me to local representatives. I ain't get all the answers from them so far.

  My question is if (ver 8.20 update) Satellite 2595CDT BIOS can recognize natively more large hard drives. My intention is to buy a 60 or 80 GB drive.

  Any other owner of the Satellite has this problem?

  Thanks for your help.

  Radu

  Hi Radu

  I think that you who keep Toshiba pass you to local representatives. Try to contact them and you get a lot more information. As far as I know that it is possible to build in the HARD drive with a very high capacity. It is also possible to manage settings of the BIOS to recognize the large capacity HDD. But for this it is necessary to use special tools that have just HARD drive vendors.

• Satellite L500 (PSLS0E) - HARD drive not found when installing Win7

  Hello!

  I wanted to install a new Windows 7 (without recovery), but the hard drive was not found during installation. In the start instead menu I can find the drive. So what I need is a driver. But I have no idea where to get one! Can anyone help?

  Version: PSLS0E-06T01KGR

  THX

  Now maybe stupid question but are you using the original installation disk Microsoft Win7?

  I installed Win7 on several different Toshiba laptops (old and new) and HARD drive was visible every time. I deleted existing partitions, created a new and correctly installed Win7 on it.

• Replacement to the satellite Pro A10 hard drive

  By turning on the laptop I get IDE #0 ERROR Inter (R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09 etc. Insert system disk in drive. I do and nothing happens.

  Is this to say that the hard drive is spent? If yes where can I get a replacement from? How I don't know what to buy?

  Hi Dean

  Well, the ERROR IDE #0 means that the BIOS cannot recognize devices connected to the IDE #0. Above all it s a HARD drive.
  So I presume that you HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  You can buy a compatible HARD drive from a computer or a laptop computer reseller. Of course, you can contact your local Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider) and order this HARD drive too.

  Your Pro A10 appears to bear an IDE hard drives.
  Therefore, you might choose an IDE HDD with 20, 30 GB or 40 GB

  I posted only these three sizes because I'm not sure about bigger hard drives.
  Perhaps a larger HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS.

  See you soon

• Satellite M30 - what compatible HARD drive can I use?

  Hello

  My Satellite M30 hard drive crashed (after 3 years of intensive use). I would like to replace it, but I don't know which drive is suitable (SATA, ATA 6... etc). The original for this computer hard disk is the MK6021GAP.

  Can someone hep me on this subject? By the way, is - it complicated to replace the hard drive on this computer?

  Thank you

  Use the advanced search of this forum and you will get several results with different threads on the same topic.
  The replacement is not difficult. At the bottom f the unit, you will find a HARD drive Bay. Armand, remove the cover and cut the shape of the disk of the controller. But be careful.

• Compatible HARD drive need for my Satellite L655 - 1 6

  Hey everybody,

  my 4 year old Satellite L655 1 g 6 has recently had some problems and the hard drive needs to be replaced.
  Does anyone know about a cheap substitute that should not necessarily be the Toshiba?

  I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
  Would be very grateful to hear some opinions/suggestions :)

  -Thanks in advance

  In general you need is of 2.5 HARD drive with connector SATA and these drives, you can find in every store of the computer. Pick up some info on the proposed models, capacities and prices so that you can make a decision that you want to buy.
  > I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
  In my opinion it's the wrong opinion. Using SSD increase you the performance of laptop computer s quickly and were very quick machine. One day if you do not want to use this laptop, you can remove the SSD and put old HDD inside. SSD can be used on the new machine.
  For me, it's the best solution for you.

  Last year I've improved my 4 years old P500 with SSD and I m very happy with it. The price was only 149 Euros. It's OK price. Change the HARD drive is not complicated and you can do it alone.

• Upgrade satellite 1900-102, hard drive

  Hello... My laptop is a toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a 20 GB hard drive. I would like to ask if I can upgrade the hard drive with another model and not the classic toshiba MK * 18GAP. Is it OK to use a hard drive from another provider? I want to use a Hitachi drive, which is less expensive, but it will be compatible?
  Thanks in advance!

  Don't know anything about Hitachi, but what speaks against an exchange of hard drive?
  The most important is the measures of the hard drive.
  As for the ability I can just tell you that we have a Satellite of 1900 with 30 concerts running

  Good bye

• Satellite L350 - 21Q - hard drive upgrade

  I have a satellite L350 - 21Q and while to love him as a machine in most ways I think it would be benefited greatly a larger hard drive. With this in mind, I started looking for a suitable replacement and found a 1 TB drive in size and uses the SATA 3.0 connection.

  I'm not sure if the machine will support the drive and so I look to you guys for help. Anyone know if the drive works with the machine, or is two opposites. If this is true can someone advise me what SATA type works and this as the maximum capacity of the space on the hard drive please?

  Thanks in advance :-)

  Unfortunately, Toshiba provides some specific information on hard drives compatible and tested.
  In my opinion you should not notice a few problems with this HARD drive. It is important that you use the HARD disk with SATA connector.

  You can order the new HARD drive, test and if something does not such as you simply want to return.
  Your comments are welcome, because we do not have precise information about these updates.

• Satellite L300-17I - hard drive replacement

  Hi, I have a few questions.

  My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300 - 17l as I have already written. My internal HARD drive is broken. He has some bad sectors, and I do not know how to isolate them so that I could use the rest of the hard disk! Can you help me and why I can't install Windows 7 on drive D, it only allows me to install on the C partition?

  And another question: my HARD drive is MK2552GSX but I can not find it on the market, so I ask is it ok if I buy a MK2565GSX? He would be able to me contruction the present MK2552GSX with MK2565GSX or it is impossible? I mean, is this compatible with my main card drive or not? and if not you know witch drives comatible?

  Thank you! :)

  Hi Dimitar,

  To be honest, if your hard drive has bad sectors it s time to replace because it s not advisable to save all data on it.

  With regard to the new HARD drive: you can install all models I think. Is important that you buy a model of 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface but each HARD disk will work so it s not making not specific.
  So, you can buy the Toshiba MK2565GSX you found :)

• Satellite Pro U200 - hard drive upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U200-128 and you want to upgrade the hard drive. I can't find detailed specifications to show me the compatibility, drive type and therefore the size of a disc that I can buy.
  I think that its SATA, but there is a lot of info on SATAII, not sure if it will work in my model?

  Any help appreciated

  Hi ollieg72,

  You re right. Satellite Pro U200 already uses the HARD drive with SATA interface if you need a HARD SATA 2.5. In addition, it should be possible to use every ability because on SATA interface, there is no capacity limit.

  Anyway, SATAII HDD is also working because they are compatible to the old interface of SATA1 downgrade. So it makes no difference if the HDD is SATAII interface or not. ;)

• Re: Disk Satellite L500 - 19 X drive

  Hello
  I don't know if I write in the right place, but here goes. I have a satellite L500 19 x tends towards the age of 8 months. The problem im having is that the hard disk has really slowed down. It takes about 1 hour to rip or burn a standard music CD. I use if often could not have burned it. Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  I think that you have to clean your cd/dvd with a disk drive to remove dust from the lens for cleaning lenses. What software do you use to rip cd drives? You can try Poikosoft Easy CD - DA Extractor is free 1 month trial program.

• Re: Satellite A200 - what HARD drive I need?

  Can anyone tell me please what type of HARD drive, I need a Toshiba Satellite A200?

  Is it an IDE or a SATA or something like that?

  The A200 Satellite is equipped with a SATA HDD.

  If you want a new HARD disk, you should a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. In addition, you can buy a HARD drive with SATA2 interface because it s downgrade compatible to SATA1.

• RAM and the satellite L20-100 HARD drive

  Hello!

  I have an old Satellite L20-100 and it has a few problems with the HARD disk. I want to buy a replacement (new HARD drive) so I need to know what are the types of FDI in L20 - 100 discs...

  In addition, what type of DDR2 RAM I should buy to install in this laptop?

  Don't want to buy a fake, because if I do, it would be very difficult to sell...

  Please, help :)
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma L20 supports a SATA controller and you need and 2.5 SATA HDD.
  Usually it s no matter which manufacturer is all 2.5 SATA hard drives must be compatible

  With regard to the 48-bit LBA:
  As far as I know that this could be just a problem with HDD IDE (P - ATA). SATA HDD should not be affected. So, theoretically, you could upgrade the HARD disk using larger than 128 GB.

  Regarding the upgrade of memory:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20683&ft=m&St=3

  You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM and you can use 2 x 1 GB RAM
