• Satellite 1800-S274: HDD upgrade questions

  I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1800-S274 P III 1.1 G 512 MB with XP PRO Spanish

  Part c: PS183U-00JRSPNC Serial Nr: 32014957PU
  The keyboard and the OS is Spanish.

  The HARD drive was accident, restart the PC, with a blue windows with the error text impossible to read because it quickly restart again.
  Cannot access the HARD disk also with other means or connected to another PC boot disk.

  PROBLEM 1) what type of disk HARD can I put up what capacity?
  (the original HARD drive is MK2018GAP. Capacity 20 GB 4200 RPM ATA4)
  I read on the net that is perhaps the BIOS accept more than 60 GB or HDD companies other than Toshiba. Is this true?

  In my country, the best ratio price/GB is a 80 or 120 GB 5400 RPM also label of Toshiba.
  I put these?

  Here is a best value of HARD drive:
  Toshiba 40 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK4032GAX)
  Toshiba 60 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK6034GAX)
  Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8025GAS)
  Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8032GAX)
  Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8026GAX)
  Toshiba 120 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK1234GAX)

  PROBLEM 2) I can not find my installation CD of Spanish XPpro but my laptop has a certificate of authenticity Microsoft of OEM.
  I contacted Microsoft, they say I have to ask the builder OEM installation with a CD XPpro OEM but there not sure they give me this.
  I don't want to buy a new OS, and I can't restore it because the HARD disk is damaged.

  How can install OS on the new HARD drive?

  My laptop its 6 years if I have to buy the HARD drive and OS XPpro is not a good deal.
  Maybe I can try to install an old Win 2000 pro I have. Do you think that it work on my type of laptop? And readers are available for my type of laptop?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  I also believe that you can use the 60 GB HARD drive for this oldie.

  Please don't be crazy about me, but how you want to install the operating system if you don't want to buy the CD of facilities? If someone give you something for free or what. You can try to order the original recovery media, but in my opinion, it is not in stock, or you can buy the CD of original Microsoft facilities. If you check eBay you can find a used one and have it for little money.

• Satellite Pro 4600: HDD upgrade question

  Hello.

  I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
  Only, I get a blank screen.
  When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
  Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

  The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

  Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

  The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

• Satellite M70 258: HDD upgrade question - what is the maximum size supported

  I need to upgrade the hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite M70-258.
  I would like to know what is the maximum size of the disk that I can install it.
  I would like to know if it is suportts Sata drives.

  Thank you in advance.

  Best regards

  Fernando Silva

  The problem is that there is no official information on the maximum size of HARD drive on laptop series different. If we can only speculate on the supported formats.

  But I found it here in the forum:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=93195𖰋

  The user has updated the own M70 with the 160 GB drive HARD Toshiba MK1637GSX and it works.
  So maybe this info helps a bit.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100-286 - processor upgrade

  Can I switch the T7200 processor T7600 processor?

  My processor spec:

  Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor Mobile

  SSpec number: SL9SF package Type: Micro-FC-PGA
  Processor speed: 2.0 GHz Manufacturing Technology: 65 nm
  PCG: Core Stepping: B2

  L2 Cache size: 4Mo thermal Specifications: 100Â ° C
  L2 Memory Cache speed: 2.0 GHz VID voltage range: 1.0375 - 1.30V

  UPGRADE TO:

  Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 Mobile processor

  SSpec number: SL9SD package Type: Micro-FC-PGA
  Processor speed: 2.33 GHz Manufacturing Technology: 65 nm
  PCG: Core Stepping: B2

  L2 Cache size: 4Mo thermal Specifications: 100Â ° C
  L2 Memory Cache speed: 2.33 GHz VID voltage range: 1.0375 - 1.30V

  The installed BIOS has been configured by using the installed processor so presumably only if it is compatible or not
  As said codes for the replacement of the CPU is always risky, and is generally not recommended.

  I read in different messages than the laptop didn't start after replacing the CPU, but I have also heard that a laptop had run without problem after these updates.

  Therefore, it is really not easy to tell if these updates will be fine

  It s always at your own risk.

• Satellite A100-386 - HDD upgrade question

  Hello everyone and happy new year.

  First of all, sorry for my bad English.

  I bought a Satellite A100-386 a few years and I'm really happy, but my hard drive has failed.
  So, I wanted to know if I could put a 2.5 "SATA II disk, like this.

  http://www.materiel.NET/Disque-Dur/Hitachi-Travelstar-5k500-b-s-ATA-II-250-go-8-mo-48900.html

  because when I see the characteristics of the satellite, they mention a hard drive with only S - ATA.
  Y at - it compatibility?

  Thank you answer :)

  Bye bye

  Hello

  Yes, I think that this should be possible.
  The A100 supports hard drives SATA controller, and theoretically, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive.

• Re: Satellite A300-1mt - HDD upgrade question

  I just want to know, can I change my 250 GB, 8 MB, 5400 RPM SATA HDD in my laptop with this one
  HDD 500.0 GB WESTERN DIGITAL Scorpio Blue 5000BEVT, SATA, 8 MB c., 5400 RPM

  Will it work, or does better go, my laptop will recognize it?

  TNX

  Hello

  I think that the laptops BIOS should recognize the new HARD drive.
  The new HARD drive is a SATA HDD and it's the most important thing.

  You need a 2.5 SATA HARD drive!
  Size and speed are not really important, because the new SATA controller must manage this without HARD disk problem.

  I think that the original HD have a different format

  Hello

  What is the new HARD disk?
  As far as I know, this unit was delivered with a 40 GB HARD drive.
  If the new HARD drive is bigger, then maybe the BIOS have some problems to recognize the HARD drive.

  My laptop would build [WD Scorpio Bule 500 GB | http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=506]?

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite P100-286

  Hello, I'm looking to upgrade the RAM on my laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-286. I did some research but have resulted in conflicting reports.
  RAM DDR2 RAM right or is it So DIMM DDR2 RAM? According to the Toshiba site, it is not, but when I go to one of the sites Web "Upgrade your Ram" and enter my brand and model, he suggested the So-Dimm type...

  I'm looking for a little clarification. Thank you.

  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&DISC_MODEL=0 & ACTION = PRINT_WITH_BACK & com .broadvision decided .do w = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 125204

  See this page:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28328&ft=m&St=3

  You will find details on the compatible RAM modules:
  You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM

  Of course, you could choose another manufacturer like Kingston but I m using Kingston modules in my other laptop and it s ok.

• Satellite P100-286 - video RAM shared with RAM system

  Hello

  First note that I m French sorry for the bad English, I can use.

  I have a satellite P100-286 - PSPAGE (T7200 @ 2 GHz, 2 GB DDR2, Gef7900GS) and I noticed that some of the RAM (exactly 271MB) was reserved for the graphics card.

  I think that the graphics card has enough memory with its 512 MB, so I don't want to have a part of my RAM to be reserved for the Geforce. I have not found the way to reassign this small part of the system in the bios, and it is independent of the OS (I use Vista and debian and I see the booking even on memtest86) so I ve tried to flash with the latest BIOS but no change.

  Is there a way to 'recover' my memory?

  Thank you

  Additional question for fans of Linux: why can not I get sound on my laptop running Linux? :'(
  It seems that there is no error, but there is no sound even if the sound card, the "HDA Intel", seems to work perfectly, even with the latest updates of the kernel and alsa.
  I tried several Linux distributions, including Suse and Mandriva.

  Hello
  Unfortunately you can not affect the amount of memory shared by yourself since it is regulated by the BIOS/Chipset and depends on the amount of main memory that is installed.

  As far as I know that the shared memory is allocated flexible, which means that if a graphical application needs a graphics memory more then the system returns to the 271 MB shared memory. That's what I know of my machine... but I don't know, it might be different on other models.

  Otherwise I have no information on this shared memory thing. You can also see this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Memory_Architecture

  See you soon

• "Plugged in, not charging" Satellite P100-286

  Hey people, well I've been having this problem just now, I have a Satellite P100-286, OS: Windows Vista Home Premium and my problem is that after I m using my laptop for a little while on the current if I am it loads, it will stop charging and if I hover over the battery icon n the taskbar It will say "Plugged In no current charging" and the battery life will not be 100%.

  I also note that in this case, the light of battery on my laptop is not blue indicating the battery is full (of course), but neither is it orange indicating that he is in charge, but a few times I noticed that the light flashes when this happens not all the time. I played games with the power adapter plugged in and sometimes the laptop is off and when I turn it back on and "resume windows" warning message will appear saying 1% etc.

  Please someone help and give me some advice on why my battery doesn't charge sometimes, I searched on the net about it and it is not the charger or the battery itself, but it's a hardware problem, people say, please someone kind and cleaver out there help me please.

  I KNOW there are a LOT to READ IM SORRY... hehe... BUT PLEASE HELP: p

  > Please someone help and give me some advice on why my battery doesn't charge sometimes, I searched on the net about it and it is not the charger or the battery itself, but it's a hardware problem, people say, please someone kind and cleaver out there help me please.

  You should know that it is not easy to provide an exactly fault diagnosis without putting his hands on her.
  What we can do is to provide some sort of suggestions

  So I think it could be a faulty battery, so first the battery should be checked.
  If problems still persist, then electronic power supply failure might be possible

  However, the equipment should be checked and this can be done by an ASP in your country
  It would be desirable to communicate with these guys and ask for help

• Satellite P100-286: cannot change "Customization" options in the Panel

  Toshiba Satellite P100-286

  Hello guys!

  Can someone help to solve my problem? For some time, I am not able to change/enter in ma, for example: screensaver of personalization in Control Panel. I can use only 2 of 7 available in "Customization" options/links Could someone help me, please?

  "Customization" isn't the only one of all the icons I can't come. There is a bit more such as: keyboard, Mail, regional and Language Options etc. Looks like the links to each of them does not work for me! :(

  I don't want to go through reinstalling Windows Vista so any help to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you very much!

  Krzysztof (Chris)

  PS. one last thing, I tried to restore my system to the previous point, but I'm not able to do.

  Hello

  It is very strange to believe me, it's not easy to say why it happened and, therefore, we must study a little bit
  Did you install third-party applications on your laptop that could have a negative influence on the operating system?
  Have you changed the rights of account user or something like that?
  How about Antivirus applications? Always update you this software? Maybe it s a kind of virus

• Satellite P100-286 - charge not completely even in stop...

  Hey all,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P100-286 and my problem is that when it s on and I plugged it load the light orange will be on indicating that the load and it will say connected load, but the battery life does not exceed 96%, yesterday he wouldn t go above 97%, and once again on the eve of 98% (lol) , the thing is when I have the laptop off and have supported (the witness orange still on indicate its charging) it will not load fully. When I turn on my laptop it is always 1% less than it was the last time I got it on as you can see by whats described above... I'm sorry for the long post, it of just quite difficult to explain.

  So can someone please help? Is it my battery what should replace is exhausting? Or is it something to do with the BIOS?
  Please help, thank you in advance for any response.

  Hello

  When the laptop is ON try to remove the battery and after a minute or two inside put once again. Please let me know what happens after that.
  To be honest, it is not easy to say why this happens exactly. I don't think THAT BIOS is responsible for this.

  Have you used the battery power intensively or your laptop worked mainly on feeding current?

• Satellite P100-286: Explorer no longer responds when leaving hybernation

  I have re-installed Vista from disk Toshiba supplied with the cleaning machine, gone through the process of updating, that is microsoft and Toshiba updates and drivers.

  I have searched data base Microsoft on the errors of Hybernation for Vista, most are to do with the USB, but without coming through what im getting.

  My problem is that if you come from hybernation explore stops responding and does not recover.
  I have tried to restart Explorer by the Task Manager but still don't get the desktop or allow me to stop in the correct Manor.

  Regarding loans Vista boot USB that I use, which stuck ok to use it in vista, activate or disable the always the same problem.

  Do you have ideas about how this can be fixed.

  Based Satellite P100-286, but with 4gig of RAM

  I presume, after reboot, you can use new IE. Am I right about that?
