• Satellite L500-01U - new hard drive with 1 TB

  I recently bought a second Satellite L500-01U cheap enough without a hard drive. I'm looking at hard disks to put in it (I want to at least 750 GB 1 TB would be preferable) and saw a 1 TB WD, however he said that it is 12.5 mm in height that is larger than normal.

  I wonder, is it fit into the hard drive from a Toshiba Satellite L500-01U PSLS9A-01U012 Bay?

  In fact, I have no idea how big the hard drive and caddy and stuff is normally.

  Hey,.

  According to the specifications that it looks like this by Satellite L500 supports 9.5 mm hard drives only then the WD drive with 12.5 mm will probably not good.

  I checked the other brands of HARD drive and Samsung has a 1 TB 2.5 HDD with 9.5 mm height only. He model s HN-M101MBB and I found this on [Amazon.co.uk. | http://www.Amazon.co.uk/Samsung-HN-M101MBB-1000GB-SATA-inches/DP/B0053YLTBC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310322519&SR=8-1]

  I hope that helps! :) Samsung Spinpoint M8 1000 GB, SATA II (HN-M101MBB)

• Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7

  Hello

  My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.

  If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?

  So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?

  Help please?

  You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
  I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?

  If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.

• How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

  Hey,.

  Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
  I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

  Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

  How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
  The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
  Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

  The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
  I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
  There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

  Thank you!
  Chris

  > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

  You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
  The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

  The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

• 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 L500-1XC - need HARD Drive Caddy

  Hello

  Does anyone know where in the United Kingdom (Web or email address) I get a caddy of hard drive and screws for a Satellite L500-1XC. Part No.AM073000200?

  Thks
  Peter.

  Hello

  What caddy do you need exactly?
  A USB 2.5 HDD caddy external in order to connect the laptop s HARD drive to a USB port?

  As far as I know that the laptop supports SATA 2.5 HDD so you will need a SATA USB caddy.

• Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

  Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

  BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

  You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro M30: new HARD drive - what is the max capacity?

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 is 4 years old with a 60 GB hard drive (IDE).
  I would like to replace the hard drive with a bigger. What is the best? (BIOS version 1.70, Windows XP Pro SP 3).

  I would be happy not only to get the answer to my question but alos to where I might find the answer myself.

  Thanks and greetings
  waltgallus

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop is equipped with an ATA-100 IDE / ATA-6 HARD drive controller.
  In this case, you will need to use the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.

  I know with certainty that this notebook would support 80 GB HDD, but generally a larger HARD drive should also be possible because the controller is able to manage the 48-bit LBA.
  The 48-bit LBA can handle hard drives of more than 120GB.

  In my opinion, you can try a 120 GB and also 160 GB HARD drive should be possible.

• Satellite S1900 - need new HARD drive connector

  Hello! I have a big problem. I have my good old Toshiba Satellite S1900 but my little brother (when I in a holiday) lost my laptop HARD drive connector.

  Please tell me someone where I buy this connector?

  You can ask your local ASP for this connector.
  Or you look on eBay, perhaps you can also find a second hand HDD connector.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

  I have an A135-s4487 with two hard drives, the two 120 GB. I wanted to increase one of the discs with a 500 GB hard drive. I replaced the 2nd hard drive with the new seagate Momentus 500 GB disk. The computer see the drive on the list of devices but cannot see under computer or use it.

  Someone else has had this problem when changing drives, drive is too big and two disks must be of the same size? My OS is the smallest disk. I put the old drive to 120 GB in computer and everything works fine. Thank you

  Running Windows 7 with 4 GB of RAM

  Hi simirob,

  > The computer see the drive on the list of devices but cannot see under computer or use it.
  Yes, because you must create a partition and format everything first before you can use and it s listed under computer.

  Here's a very nice guide how to use the Windows disk management feature to create the partition, format the drive, etc.

• Install the new hard drive on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro 6100 and the hard drive has failed. Bought a new hard drive but have no idea where to begin to install it. Also, I have the product key for windows xp pro, but don't have a disc. Is there a way to get around get one, or someone has any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hmmmm... It's very strange that you n t have idea how to start. Throughout history, there are only two options:
  -for the installation of an operating system you can use the original Toshiba Recovery disk that came with this laptop. If you n t have it then
  -use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads

  Please note: the product key at the bottom belongs to original recovery image so you probably won't be able to use it for the activation of the operating system.

• Satellite 3000-100: need new HARD drive

  Hello

  I am looking for a new HARD drive for my laptop.

  I've already tired 3 different (2xHiachi, 1xToshiba MK2023GAS) HARD drives, but the Bios (latest Version 2.40) could not detect them.

  Nobody knows that suits HARD drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite 3000-100 supports an Enhanced IDE Ultra DMA66/100 interface.
  Therefore, use this HARD drive interface compatible hard drives.

  The 20 GB HARD drive should be compatible due to the fact that this device was equipped with a 20 GB HARD drive too.

  I discovered that these drives may be supported:
  PA3100U 15 GB HDD-modular
  PA3101U modular HARD 30 GB disk

  Try simply google for this part numbers and you should get a few hits.

• Satellite U500 - where to get a new HARD drive during the warranty?

  Hello world

  I bought my Toshiba Satellite U500 some months in London, and a few days ago my hard drive starts to give me a such difficulties that do not correctly read and given the weird sounds. And finally at boot up to yesterday, its giving me this message "Pri Master hard disk: extended S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 for cont...» »

  Now, I realized that I need a new HD and that one is not usable. What I was wondering, is it possible to keep in touch no matter what service provider Toshiba in order to get the new HD cos this machine is almost brand NEW.

  Can someone give me an advice what to please, it would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Edward_4,

  I agree with you. You need a new HARD drive as soon as possible because it s not recommendable to record data on a failed HARD drive.

  In any case, it should t be a problem. You must contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Technicians can order a new HARD drive for you and Exchange. This should be free, because your laptop is under warranty so it s age of a few months.

  On the Toshiba site is a list of all s ASP. This seems to be your interlocutor ;)
