• Satellite A30: Replacement of RAM and HARD disk

  I am about to replace the HARD drive in my Satellite A30 with a 100 GB one and update the RAM in both slots 1 & 2. Can someone give me a step by step guide to do this?
  Also to clean the mouse buttons leave because they no longer work correctly

  Thank you very much

  Hi Andy,.

  To replace the hard drive, you need to remove the F5 screw on the bottom of the laptop. This will allow the optical drive to slide toward the front of the laptop so that you can get on the hard drive.

  Remove the four screws (2 on each side) that hold the hard disk, and then gently slide forward to disconnect its multi connector.

  Remove the two metal (one on each side) of the old drive brackets and attach them to the new drive then carefully replace the new drive and drag it to the back of the laptop (be careful not to bend the pins).

  Finally replace the optical drive and fix it with the screw (F5).

  Remove the RAM modules is described in the manual of the A30 user but briefly it is to remove the screws holding the access plate on the bottom of the laptop, and then releasing the fasteners securing spring-loaded modules RAM, so that they can be angled to allow them to be removed from the location of connectors. The new modules can be inserted (they won't be back in a sense) and pushed into place until the fixing pins 'click '. It is very important that you take adequate and anti-static precautions before accessing RAM modules as they can easily be 'flashed' by a discharge of static electricity.

• Satellite A200-1GH, remove the additional HARD disk cover

  Hello

  I bought a new HARD drive and I want to put it in place of additional hard drive, but I can't remove the cover... :-(... I was remove two screws and nothing...
  Can you help me please?

  Respect...

  Stand by. If I understand you right, you want to add the second HARD drive. Am I right about that?
  At first, I must say that this is not possible due to lack of connectors. In any case you can check only. Remove the two screws and remove the cover plastic. I know, it cannot be removed easily. Remove it in the middle and remove the side.

• Satellite Pro P300-1F1 - mounting additional HARD disk

  Hello

  I'm hoping to add an extra hard drive to my satellite pro p300-1f1 laptop. I know that he has an extra compartment and it has a sata connector, so I know it's possible. But I need a support or mount or a caddy/adapter to the hard drive in place of the crew. When I contacted the Dutch Office of toshiba, they said that they did not support it and do not have this part. And the manual of the user on the site Web there says nothing about this compartment.

  I hope that one of you may know part whitch I need (the second compartment of the hard drive need to another mount/support/caddy/adapter then the hard drive that is already installed.

  I live in Holland, so no response with the Dutch dealers or websites would be great but uk / us is also appreciated.

  Update: here are some photos I did inside the compartment. Maby he helps :) ([Fig 1 | http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8240/dsc01104h.jpg]) ([photo 2 | http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/585/dsc01102s.jpg]) ([photo 3 | http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/2536/dsc01101l.jpg])

  Hi Thijsm,

  If you have a second HARD drive connector, you can add a second HDD. But as you wrote, you need a shopping cart to install it.

  I put t know you contacted exactly, but on the Toshiba site, you will find a list of all ASP s:

• Pavilion P6-2125 - adding additional hard disks

  Nice day.

  Can I add additional hard disks SATA internal? Is the power supply sufficient to allow this? In addition, this will void the warranty?

  Thank you, Joe

  Hi, Joe:

  When I look at the upgrade and maintenance of your PC guide, I don't get a hard drive Bay.

  So, I would say that your PC is not configured to handle more than one hard drive.

• Faced with the hard disk installer...

  Hey, this is my first post.  I tried the trawling through the various forum posts, and other Web sites and videos however I am having a bit of trouble to the where I want to go regarding them have Windows Home Server up and it works perfectly in ESXi.  I have attached a diagram of installation old as running WHS on my HP Server but I wanted to upgrade to WHS 2011, I had and I thought that it is the best time to try virtualization as well.

  I have a physical machine with 3 hard disks.  1 x 250 GB, 1 x 2 TB and 1 x 100GB.  I intend use the 250 GB HD to install my s VM, IE.  WHS 2011 (already completed and running), Linux, XP etc.  However, what I want to do, is when you are logged in WHS, I want to be able to store all my music, photos, media, etc., on the 2 TB drive and to be able to access them in not only WHS, but other BONES as well.  I've read about RDM however, I get nowhere with her.

  On my old configuration, I also had a few runnign programs that would automatically download episodes of TV series for me and place them on the 100 GB hard drive, which was not part of the pool of storage in WHS.  I would then move them manually in the actions concerned.  Basically, I want to be able to do all this in the virtual environment.

  The scene, I am at this time, is that I have esxi installed with WHS 2011 installed on the hard drive of 250 GB.  I can log on and get the WHS Office ETC.

  Can someone help me with this?

• Problem with a hard disk on the Satellite 1800 750

  Hi all!

  I have problems with my Satellite 1800 750 therefore than the hard drive not to be recognized. Means I can start from floppy disk or CD-ROM, but not hard drive. I create in the hard drive to another laptop and it works well. In the BIOS, I see two (HD and CDROM) IDE devices. From pure DOS diskette and try running fdisk also does not show me the HD.
  What can be? It is a total mistake on card mother IDE #1 have a defect or is it a BIOS problem? Or something else?

  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  Kind regards
  Werner

  Hi Werner,.

  He cannn be your IDE controller has a loose contact.

  But in a first time, you must set the BIOS to the factory settings. Press ESC key after power! Then you have a short list of commands at the bottom of the screen!

  If this does not solve the problem you correctly a hardware fault. This should be checked by a Toshiba Service partner. Go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - support & downloads - find an authorized Service partner

• Satellite Pro 480CDT does not start with mounted HARD disk?

  Hello
  I have tried several disks in my Satellite Pro 480CDT, but none of them starts. The screen stays black and the power led blinks orange (long, short, short, short, short, long, short, short). If I drive the machine past the on-screen "In Touch With tomorrow, TOSHIBA. He sees Windows CD-ROM or a floppy disk. I tried with 6 hard drives all below to 6 GB and AFAIK the work. I tried with another 480CDT a 220CS and a 2140CDS. Surely all hard drives and computers laptops have the same flaw? What I need to update BIOS or something as none of the drives are original for the machines.
  Help, please!
  Thank you

  John.

  Hi John

  I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. When the electronic power supply detects a power problem, it sends the hex code. In this case you should contact the technicians. They can read this code and will know what the problem is here.

  Just FYI: I discovered this disc HARD original for this unit has the P000244000 part number. Maybe it will help you get another HARD drive for testing.

  Sorry I can't tell you more info on this good old classic.

• Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

  I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

  Read the following thread:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

  What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

  Thanks in adv!

  Hello

  I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
  Why?
  Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

  To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

  So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

• Satellite P300 - how to use two HARD disks?

  Satellite P300 with 2 hard drives (250 (= 232)) GB.

  The first hard drive seems to be partitioned as (Vista) C: and F: (data). The F: drive contains a folder HDDRecovery, which I understand is recovery Vista using F8.
  The F: drive takes 117 GB and is empty outside the data recovery.

  I seem to be able to create additional folders on this drive F:, but I am concerned about the reliability of the data in these additional files, because it is on the partition of "valorisation".

  I want to reduce the F: drive and add a FAT 10 GB drive at the end. Then, I want to install Linux on the 2nd HARD drive, using the Toshiba boot options to choose the boot drive at startup (DO NOT install GRUB on HDD1 but on HDD2). The 10 GB FAT at the end of the 1st HARD drive will allow sharing of data between Linux/Vista.

  So, questions:
  (1) is it safe to use drive F: (recovery) for normal data storage Vista?
  (2) the possibility of recovery will affect in any way if there are records of additional data on the recovery disk? (Note: I am not in contact with the folder HDDRecovery somehow, and I did the recovery DVDs).
  (3) can I reduce the F: drive without affecting recovery options?

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  I completely agree with Garrett.

  I store my files on drive F too where is the HDD Recovery folder but I didn't not store files in there. I create additional folders.
  In addition, I would like to change the size of the partition where is the HDD Recovery folder. Maybe it will not work after that, but if burn you the recovery disk, you are on the safe side.

  Good bye

• Satellite 3000-514 and put to hard disk

  Hello

  I recently bought a new hard drive (Toshiba MK6026GAX, 60 GB) for my Satellite 3000 514. When I replace the old with the new hard drive is not recognized. The version of the BIOS is later (2,30 trad) from the side support Toshiba. Someone now how this could be fixed?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As Quad says no each HARD disk will be recognized because of the size.
  You must contact the ASP for the drives supported. It has detailed information about the supported HARD drive sizes. But without a professional help s not possible to recognize the HARD drive.

• Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

  "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

  I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

  Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
  Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

  I'm stuck please help!

  Hello!

  If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

  I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

  Good bye

• Windows 7 is my CD/DVD in the hard disk drive

  The original hard disk drive has been damaged, and I replaced it the installation a professional version of windows 7, 32 bit.

  I used prior to windows Vista, and everything worked very well. now, with Windows 7 can not format my drive CD/DVD or CD/DVD read/write.

  I tried before solving the problem using Microsoft Fix it but failed.

  Please, I need your help!

  OK what I mean try, reboot your system with the Windows cd again and see if your dvdrwe drive cannot read the disc. Unfortunately, you can have a bad disk but before ruling out, you need to do some troubleshooting steps more. Did you try and install your DVD - RW drive on another pc will exclude both software and hardware, or if you can install another drive on your pc. Good luck
