• Satellite 2430-402: which HARD drive I can use for an upgrade

  Hello

  I have a 2430-402 satellite and the hard drive is full. Can someone tell me the greatest, he will take care and what kind do I buy? (Probably not PATA or SATA but I should look into IDE)

  Thank you

  Jez

  Hello

  You are right. To my knowledge, the Satellite 2430 was delivered with an improved interface to drive HARD IDE (ATA-5). Therefore, we must look for IDE hard disks.

  I'm not sure about Mr. size of HARD drive max. I think that Toshiba provides official information what size HARD drive max can be used. I presume to test

  Laptop has been delivered with a40GB HARD disk. Am I wrong?
  Hmm in my opinion the 60GB HDD should run. You might also try a 80 GB HARD drive if it s compatible.
  But I really very skeptical about larger sizes.

  Best regards

• What HARD drive I can use on my Satellite A660-13D?

  Hello

  I'm looking for any compatible for a Toshiba SATELLITE A660-13D hard disk drive as the one inside is dead now.

  This model comes with the laptop is a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX 640 GB, SATA 3 Gb/second 5400 RPM 2.6 revision

  Official suppliers of Toshiba quoted me 130 euros por the same model.

  I can't have such model through any other store or the internet.

  There are a lot of different new TOSHIBA HDD in the market with the largest capacity and much less expensive than the MK6465GSK.

  Can I install any new toshiba HDD on my SATELLITE A660-13D?

  Is there any toshiba page where I can find out what toshiba HARD drive are compatible with my SATELLITE?

  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  Fernando

  What you need is 2.5 SATA HDD and it may be Toshiba but it may also be of some other manufacturers. You don't need anything special. If possible consult your dealer and they can help you choose one that suits.

  Now, when you need a new HARD drive maybe you should think about upgrading with SSD. Disc SSD is much faster and use of SSD with your laptop will rapidly increase the performance of s for laptop.

  More info on SSD, you can read on http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/index.html

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite a210-171 needs new HARD drive

  I took the laptop to the computer repair shop, they want to charge me £100 to replace the HDD with a 500 GB one and reinstall windows. I am not satisfied with the service, the length of time necessary to diagnose the problem or the price then I refused to let them fix it. It took 3 days to identify the problem and more they can not even give me a quote until they had installed the new hard drive!

  Is it easy enough for me to replace the HARD drive? I don't really know where he is, than only what disk HARD buy! I have the original recovery disk, it will load everything once I have replace the HARD drive?
  I need really, really little help and advice here!

• Satellite A100-529 and new HARD drive

  I bought a new HARD drive: Samsung HM320JI (320 GB/SATA/5400 RPM / 8 M I)
  When I turn on my laptop, it loads as 60%, and then it crashes. Why? It is not compatible?

  Satellite A100-529
  PSAA2e-01J00ZG3
  BIOS: 2.30

  What should I do?
  I formatted my new HDD using my desktop PC

  I don't understand what you mean with these 60%. 60% of what?

  In my opinion the new HARD drive should work fine with your Satellite A100.
  As Alex has already written fair use facilities for the installation of the OS recovery disk and I think everything should be OK.

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

• What HARD drive I can use in Satellite U300 (issue of SATA)

  I have 4 years Toshiba U300. Recently, the hard drive (200 GB 5400 RPM) broked down.
  I want to replace but I don't know that can use any SATA II HARD drive, or I have to use the HDD with SATA I?
  On some forums, I found two users that puted new HARD drive in the old laptop and they complained that the speed of OS boot was hopeless.

  So the question is what HARD drive should I buy for this laptop?
  (I prefer capacity 320 or 500 GB)

  Hello

  SATA controller is downward compatible, you can use SATA I or SATA II HDD.
  It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD. The size is not very important for 500 GB configuration issues should be ok too.

• 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 A100 - 551 (PSAA2E) - new HARD drive freeze computer

  Hello

  Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

  I have a Satellite A100-551 and original 80 GB SATA HARD disk is dead. It works enough, but there are a lot of mistakes on its surface and the pc go very slow!
  So, I buy another drive.
  This one: [samsung 250 GB | http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Composants/showdetl.cfm?product_id=422226&option=1]

  I have install on the pc but when I start the pc freeze.
  At startup, there is a moment where a normal message saying that I can access the F2 BIOS with a progressbar for loading.

  The freezing of progressbar and nothing else has add.
  If I press F2 nothing adds.
  I can't do nothing.

  Is it possible to get started with my new HARD drive?

  Is there some hard drive not recommended?

  Thanks for your replies.

  Strange, but perhaps the new HARD drive is defective or not compatible with your laptop.
  Have you tested the new HARD drive in a laptop or in an external HARD drive enclosure? It work?

  You can go into the BIOS without HARD drive?
  Check it!

  In your case I would use check the HARD drive in another laptop first, and then maybe you should try another of your laptop HARD drive.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A210-ICO - what HARD drive I can use?

  I'm getting bad sectors on the hard drive of my laptop, so I guess I should pay for a new one – but who are able to A210-1CO?

  TA, M

  Hello

  Satellite A210 uses SATA hard drives and you need a new HARD drive with SATA interface. You can buy each HARD drive you want, for example 160 or 320 GB. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

  In addition, most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its compatible downgrade to SATA1.
  I would have preferred a HARD disk at 5400 RPM. Of course, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but they produced more heat and noise. For most of the applications are pretty 5400 RPM.

  I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100 - 10 p - what HARD drive I can use?

  What larger and faster HARD drive I can replace the 12.5 mm 2, 5 inch 200 GB 4200 RPM in my Satellite P100 - 10 p with?
  I can only find readers of 9.5 mm.

  Toshiba is usually inaccessible and as usual hasten to refer to their "dealers" who do not know their elbow for their...
  Why do we support these faceless idiots who are only willing to deal with the ministries or other bulk public-money-wasting buyers?

  I discovered something this laptop runs the height of 2.5 inches x 9.5 mm HDD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB, 100 GB and 120 GB and 160 GB (and more) internal height of 2.5 in. x 12.7 mm drives.

  Looks like both hard drives 2.5 SATA (9.5 mm and 12.7 mm) can be used!

• Satellite L450 - install the new hard drive

  Hi, I hope someone can help, I have a Satellite L450, which has windows 7 preloaded on it. However, the hard drive became corrupt and unable to use, unfortunately I never backed up anything.
  Can I buy a new hard drive and install it? If yes how to operate as I no o/s on cd?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi 4ordie,

  Of course, you can replace the HARD drive that s no problem. Replace HARD drive has 5 or 10 minutes and you can do it yourself because it s not very complicated.

  New drive HARD doesn t contain all the files and you will need to install the operating system and all the drivers yourself but I m wondering why you don t have an installation disc (recovery). It s clearliy mentioned in the manual how to do this.

  In any case, no, you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings:

• My Satellite cannot recognize the new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive for my laptop. After installing it, I didn't get the message none found a fixed drive. I updated the bios from the Toshiba site and the same message is still there.

  I also tried the drive in another laptop. It has been recognized correctly, so I formatted one installed Windows XP Pro top. It worked ok so I tried again in my laptop but message saying put system disk and press any key. So I put XP disc in it starts the installation starts to transfer files and doesn't give the message no hard drive found so it still does not find the hard drive.

  Please can someone help?

  Hi Ken

  It would be nice to know the name of cell exactly.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive due to the size of the HARD drive.

  It would be very interesting to know if the HARD disk is compatible with this laptop and supported
