• Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

  All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

  It will be OK for my laptop?

  Hello!

  As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

  The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

• Satellite 2410: Question on HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  The hard drive on my laptop Satellite 2410 died a few days ago. Replace it with another, one Seagate.

  I don't have my CD of restoration, however, I have the retail CD of Windows XP. Would it not possible to install Windows XP from a CD at retail? Or do I NEED to have the restore CD that came with the laptop.

  If I indeed restore it CDs, where can I get replacement CD since then?

  Thank you.

  Hello Rizwan

  If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery Cd, you can use the original Windows operating system.
  In addition, you need Toshiba drivers and tools. What you can find on the Toshiba site.
  You need to download the drivers and install them after installing Windows.

  Here you can download the drivers:

• Satellite A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
  HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

  1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

  2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

  Hello

  As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
  This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
  As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
  Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

  But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

  > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
  You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

• Question of hard drive replacement warranty.

  I just bought my first Dell laptop, which comes with 1 year limited warranty.

  The laptop itself has a 1 TB HDD and an SSD of 32 GB. If I took it to an authorized and had the SSD has swapped a larger internal drive, is that voids the warranty on the machine?

  It's my first computer I actually bought for my part, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

  You did not mention the computer model of office or the laptop you are talking about if this response is from guess your configuration.

  Generally systems with a mechanical hard drive capacity (the disk of 1 TB in your case) and a small capacity SSD (32 GB in your case) are delivered with the ssd configured to be used as two player cache to accelerate the use of the disc hard capacity mechanical with the software Intel Rapid STORAGE, but also a way to speed up startup and wake from sleep with the Intel Rapid START software.   The small capacity of 32 GB SSD is very probably a small card called mSATA (micro SATA).   A 32 GB drive is not enough space to use as a boot drive.  There are 64, 128, 256 GB mSATA but discs are not really worth the expense.   It isn't really a replacement value for the mechanical hard drive capacity with a 2.5 "SSD (very expensive for a1gb SSD 2.5" ($400?).)

  The combination of a mechanical drive inexpensive large capacity and low capacity mSATA is the best of both worlds, great amount of storage at a low price and the fast performance of an SSD as you often use the same files over and over again and the SSD used as cache makes the system behaves almost as fast as a machine that has only a solid state for most of the users drive.

  All that is to say that you have probably no need to spend money on an update unless you need to improve the marginal performance it provides, or you simply have money burning a hole in your pocket and want to spend.

  To answer your question on if your warranty make changes to your original system configuration, the answer is now.  However, if you encounter a problem that Dell feels support is linked to a part, you added to the system they may ask you to remove it and restore the original return to figuration co system to continue troubleshooting... But it is quite likely that this would never happen.

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Tecra A4: Question about HARD drive replacement

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. Can someone tell me where I can find instructions to remove the HARD drive?

  Hi Niek

  As much as I know replacing the HARD drive is not complicated.
  The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You will find a HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw.
  Please remove this screw and remove the cover.
  Then you can remove the HARD drive attention.

  PS: I think that the HARD drive is placed in the chassis. You may also remove this framework to place the other HARD drive.

• Question about hard drive replacement on Equium A100-147

  My hard drive is only 60 GB with 2 GB of ram. Any body know if it is possible to upgrade the disk hard at, say 120 GB or more information on this model.
  If so where can she come from please?

  Hello

  I put t see any reasons why the 120 GB HARD drive should not work.
  The A100 series is a new series of laptop and controller HDD & BIOS should support these dimensions.

  But very important, is that you use a HARD disk with compatible interface and supported.
  As far as I know the laptop supports SATA HDD.

  Best regards and have a nice day ;)

• 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 :)

• Question about hard drive storage on Satellite Pro L40

  I have a Satellite Pro L40. Memory hard drive seems to be divided into two (about 35 GB each) under Vista C and e of data.
  Vista C is almost full. How can I use/access the E-data memory?

  Hi Bart

  Please don't get me wrong, but your question is really strange. I mean after reading your post, I'm really interested in your PC knowledge and how long you use your laptop.

  You want to know is basic stuff and must be learned first when you start using computers.
  When you have the time to try to get some book on WXP or Vista and all know about operating systems and how to use them.

  Open Windows Explorer, and you will have direct access to the second partition. You can move files from C to D, or save all data directly on the D partition.

  Google a bit. You can find many Web pages on basic stuff to the use of operating system.

• On Satellite S2800-200 HARD drive replacement

  I have a Satellite S2800-200 and the hard drive just died.
  What can I replace the drive with?
  I looked at the Samsung MP0402H 40 GB hard drive, it will be ok or should it be a special player or some interface?
  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know, this unit came with 10 GB of HARD drive. I m not 100% sure if you unit supports most HARD drive. In this case, you must contact the Toshiba ASP because they have more experience in this case.

• Satellite M70-192: two questions on battery

  I bought a satellite M70-192 and have two question about it;
  1. when the battery is fully charged, I can leave the Ac adapter connected and power the computer on the sector or remove the battery to avoid overloading?
  battery 2-How long should power the computer if it is fully charged? (Approximately)

  Hello

  1. you must not remove the battery. Your device is the latest standard and batteries cannot be overloaded. It is recommended to occasionally work with battery power and pay.
  2. it depends on the use of the laptop. Usually, you should be able to use about 2 hours.
