• Satellite 5200 701 SSD instead of HARD drive

  I have a 5200-701 and the HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. So I would use a SSD instead of the HARD disk on a regular basis. Anyone know who is real and compatible? I also tried to install Vista but after start of the cd, the installation of vista tells me lack driver CD/DVD. I have a TEAC DW -? and vista seems to have problems with loading the atapi driver right?

  Do you mean that you want to use the Solid State Drive?

  HM, I think you're the first person here who would like to use this drive in this old notebook.
  To be honest I don't very well if you can use and if the BIOS support for m.
  But this is only a suggestion.

  In addition you must known that Vista can not be installed on each laptop. Vista needs a lot of resources and it s really counterproductive using Vista on this laptop because everything runs slower than using the other OS like Win XP for example.

  Finally and above all the Vista already contains the CD/DVD driver. It of a Microsoft driver and it s is not necessary and not possible to install a special driver ODD.
  It has the same like to use Win XP. You n t need any driver CD/DVD. The operating system should automatically recognise!

• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

• Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

  What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

  Hi turboiwan,

  As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

  For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  Hannu

  Hello

  I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
  I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
  Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• Windows XP will not allow me to defrag my hard drive, said to run Checkdisk

  I cannot defragment my hard drive using Windows xp.  He told me to run checkdisk next time I start up, I say yes but chkdsk / x or chkdsk/f does not work how can I force windows to disassemble.  Thank you

  Thanks for answering my question. It turns out that Norton utilities was not allowing me to defragment my disk hard because he said that I had to run checkdisk. After you have uninstalled Norton - windows enabled me to perform the disk check and corrected some errors which allowed me to defragment the hard drive. Thanks for your help. = A0 = A0 Bob

• Satellite T110-121 - Question about disk and hard drive recovery

  Hello

  I started to use my nice new Satellite T110-12. How can I create a recovery disc?

  Why is there that a common message on the vibration has been detected, HDD head has been moved to a safe position? Is there something wrong? I would return it before the week is up?

  Please answer, thanks a lot a lot!

  Hi LindaMon,

  > How to create a recovery disk?
  What about reading your user manual?
  You need a 8 GB USB key for the creation of a support recovery and preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > head drive has been moved to a safe position?
  Yes, that's normal and everything is ok with your laptop. Your HARD drive will be protected by HDD/SSD Alert utility which is a nice feature of Toshiba to avoid accidents of the head and can improve the lives of the internal HARD disk.
  But yoou can disable these notifications if you want. ;)

• Possible to replace an SSD with a HARD drive?

  I am currently working on HP Mini 1030nr a friend.  It was sold with a 16 GB SSD and now the operating system broke down.  We decided to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7, however, the SSD is too small.  I'd rather not go and spend $100 and more on an SSD to replace this one.  I'm able to go out with a HARD drive instead?  16 gb is hardly anything.

  Well, after having read little more on it and opening it up, I discovered that although it CAN be exchanged with a HARD disk, it cannot have a 1.8-inch HARD drive.  I have more of a problem to find these tiny hard drives at a reasonable price.  So, Yes, you can use a HARD drive, but it's almost better just pay the bucks for a new SSD to go through the trouble to obtain one of these mini things.

• Hard drive to SSD/Fusion - a hard drive disk drive SSD/Fusion

  Hello, I own a Mac Mini (end 2012) that to a 1 TB hard drive and 4 GB of RAM, under El Capitan. As you can understand, it begins to slow down... I wanted to know if it was possible to change the HDD pour a Fusion drive or an SSD (may Apple stores do?) or whether it is preferable to add RAM or both? Pour-ins information my computer mainly for watching movies (also by internet TV), text processing, spreadsheets make... Very little treatment of videos/pictures but I wish I could do easily if I need it. Thanks in advance!

  Hi, I got a Mac Mini (end 2012) with a tough, 1 Tb, 4 GB of RAM, running El Capitan and it becomes slow... I wanted to know if it is possible to spend my Hard Drive disk Fusion or a SSD (and if the stores Apple could change?), or if the best thing to do would be to add more RAM or both HD editing and adding RAM? I use my Mac mainly to watch movies (and TV on the Internet), using Word/Excel... I don't use a lot of software like PhotoShop, etc, but I would use it without being stopped after every single when necessary change. Thanks in advance!

  Thinking about getting more memory would be better 4 GB became slow for me with mtn lion upgrade helped a lot

• Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

  I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

  Thank you!

  Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

  If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
  This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.

• satellite 2520cdt is very slow after replacing HARD drive

  My Satellite 2520 CDT is the HARD Mk 4309 MAST 4.3 GB default disk. I replaced the with the Toshiba MK 2016 GAP of 20 GB.
  I use Windows 98 since the original installation CD. The laptop is now very slow, it takes minutes to start programs, etc.

  I installed the latest BIOS with no improvement. Probably the laptop cannot manage the size of the HARD drive.

  Is there a solution?

  Hello

  I had the same suggestion. I think that the large size of the HARD disk is responsible to slowly start performance. But I wonder why BIOS recognize the HARD drive?
  However, try to defragment the HARD drive.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

  Thank you

  PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

  Hey,.

  If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

  As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

• Satellite C660 - 11 k - noise in the hard drive

  Hello

  Whenever I have start browsing my laptop satellite c660 11 k there will be a kind of noise (hard to explain but beep like noise using come from older printers or fax machines) from my hard drive.

  Audible only when there is pin drop silence in the room. When the laptop was new there was no noise and later he started to come when I open windows navigation 4-5 and the sound comes now even if I start browsing. My hard drive is defective?

  Please can someone advice me on this.

  Post edited by: Sammy007

  Hello

  My HARD drive sometimes creates similar sounds.
  I'm not quite sure about this sound but I save data always because some time ago one of my hard drives is dead and I could lose all my data so I would not have some backups created in the past of m

  I recommend doing the same thing
  Who knows what s wrong with the HARD drive, but I know with certainty that sooner or later all hard disks will die

• Satellite P70 - how to use the second HARD drive?

  I have recently bought a satellite P70 - A - 10 d.

  I see that there is no second location on hard disk, so I can install a second disk.
  You can see the second slot in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW75IsuFeoY.

  But I can't understand how screed the disc.
  Do I need additional items for it or he'll be safe just plug the drive and leave it without screws?

  Hello

  If the second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connector, you can connect the HARD drive using the 2.5 HARD disk as [this | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/images/TOS-X505%20sm.jpg] a

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.
