• Satellite P100-332: Upgrade HARD drive and 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum...
  Well, I want to change 2 things on my Toshiba Satellite P100-332

  1. I have 2 GB of RAM at 533 mhz and I saw on Everest, as well as on the information that I put up. 4 GB RAM 667 mhz. If I want to ask if theres no limitation about to use a special brand of RAM? Or can I use any laptop RAM to 667 mhz? I buy 2 DIMM 2 GB 667, to stay with 4 GB RAM 667 mhz.

  2 - my laptop came with a 4200 RPM ATA hard drive and I want to know if I can change my hard drive to another as one with 7200 RPM SATA as a http://www.pcvonline.com/productDetails.aspx?prodID=7434 and I have not seen yet if the Board supports, but does anyone know if I can put one like this?

  Hello

  (1) the Satellite P100-332 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB and you can also use the modules of 667 Mhz because AFAIK the FSB supports 667 MHz also.
  But the fact is that Windows 32-bit (Vista and XP) would see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  (2) the laptop supports the SATA HDD controller and this is why you must use a SATA HDD. But usually it s no matter if the HDD SATA supports the 7200 RPM. In my opinion, you should be able to use these 7200 RPM HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 2100 - what HARD drive do I need?

  Hi all,

  I just got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100, but the hard disk has been removed for the protection of the data. Now, I don't know what type of HARD drive, I have to get PATA/SATA?
  Can a little help if you please?

  Hello

  You can buy this store on the computer HARD drive because it has an IDE interface. You can t use a HARD drive with the new SATA interface.

  So I agree with Akuma. Already, I think that everything is written here.

• 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 P100-307 - is - I can change the internal HARD disk 500 GB model?

  Hello

  I am a beginner and I would trade my internal 200 GB of HARD drive against a 500 GB Samsung HDD. I have a Satellite P100-307.
  Is this possible at all?

  Thanks in advance for your advice.

  Hello

  Theoretically, it should be possible to use 500 GB laptop HARD drive. He already has SATA interface and it would mean that there is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface.

  So, you can buy every 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. It makes no difference if you buy A manufacturing or B. It of your choice!

  You can give us feedback operation ;)

• Satellite P100-307 - massive heat problem, keypad heater

  Had my Satellite P100-307 for almost two years now and it's a good and useful media-notebook, but it never HOT side left keyboard, especially games.

  But in recent weeks, the keyboard is pretty HOT and I don't know why! Because I6vgt ´m using only low level applications.

  I did a full restore to clean any virus or other malware, but it continues to get hot, as if I where in the highest graphics modes, the games, but just I m using IE7 and a LateX editor for the creation of PDF Documents - that s nothing for a dual-core processor! Kaspersky 7.0 has been throtteld down, as far as the security is allwoing it.

  So why it s heat like that in 30 to 60 Minutes. He has never done this before, I m sure.

  It s so hot, it's quite unpleasant to work with her, because placing even the heel of your hand next to the touchpad makes my hand sweating!

  Would be grateful for any comment or advice,

  Greetings

  Looks like the laptop is overheated, it is a common problem with laptops that are used in a dusty environment (a room with carpet, for example).

  Buy compressed air in a box and spray it in the vents to remove dust.

• 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)

• HP dv7 6b51ea: hp dv7 6b51ea, install second SSD hard drive HELP

  
  

  Yes, the cable's owner. HP recovery will not install the software from the factory to a 256 gigabytes as the SSD drive, you want to buy. I understand perfectly what you want to do and I try to help you to do so after doing it myself several times. In the hope of you help get through the common pitfalls.

  This is the cable you need on eBay UK:

  Now let's work on getting to the supported Windows 7 installation if you install it on your Virgin SSD. You are going to need some sort of media set as an external hard drive. We need to get the HDD 1 TB in the Bay of primary and get Windows 7 running on it. The HP recovery disk will work for this.

• Satellite M35X-S149 dead hard drive - need advice

  Hi all.

  My old Toshiba Satellite M35X-S149 had a dead hard drive. I took it for repair, but they said it could not be repaired and they could not recover the information about it.

  I think to be auctioned on eBay for parts only. I wonder if all the data that might be on the hard drive can be hacked somehow. I doubt if there is anything that it doesn't matter who would be able to do anything with anyway, but I would like the opinion of someone who knows more about this kind of thing than me.

  Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.

  Carla

  Hey Buddy,

  Why you n t remove the HARD drive before you sell the laptop? I would never sell a HARD drive on eBay because some people try to restore the data. If I have a HARD drive that I don't need more, I use it as HARD drive external or I trash because cheap hard drives these days, you get can 500 GB for about 50 Euros.

  Finally, and especially if the HARD drive is really bad, nobody seems so just remove and sell your laptop without HARD drive. ;)

• Satellite Pro P100 - replacing the HARD drive internal

  I have a Satellite Pro P100 with a concert of 60 internal HDD and would like to replace this with a 250 or 320 GB drive.

  Anyone can suggest a way to imagery of the current drive and copy this back to the new drive without having to re - install the operating system and other installed software?

  I have a couple of USB 2.0 external drives with sufficient capacity.

  Hello

  You first need to know if the more drive HARD 250 GB or 320 GB would be compatible and if the BIOS recognize this HARD drive without major worries!
  The problem is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.
  Then all first check if the new HARD drive are supported!

  You ask how to get all the files on the new disk? I recommend good reinstall the OS from the recovery CD. It would be to reinstall the OS, drivers, tools, utilities.
  If you have other files such as mp3, etc it then backup to the external USB HDD.
  Then you could connect this HARD drive to the laptop and could transfer it on the internal HARD disk.

• Satellite Pro U400-130 - hard drive Partition - help

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 mobile - cell PSU45E-005005EN

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo (T8400) 2.26 GHz, the front side Bus speed: 1066 MHz, level 2: 3 MB Cache
  3072 MB (1024 + 2048 MB) DDR2 RAM
  250 GB hard drive
  Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition

  What I've found, is that the hard drive is partitioned into two separate drives

  1. the drive C - 117 GB - hand player - all programs, user accounts and files of work / are saved on the C drive.
  2 drive E - 113 GB - A folder titled HDDRecovery (size 4.42 GB) nothing elese is on the E drive.
  3. This only totals to 230 GB, then where is the other 20 GB?

  I want to know/how is is:

  1. Why are we doing this way?
  2. What is the purpose of the file recovery Drive E and it does not require the space of 113 GB?

  3. If I increase the size of drive C to say 55GO and decrease the size of drive E?
  3.1 is it possible?
  3.2 what impact will?

  4. the drives C and E only total 230 GB so where is the other 20 GB?

  Can someone please help

  Thank you very much

  (1) the HARD disk is partitioned into 3 partitions and not 2! Go to the disk management utility and you will see that there is a hidden partition. This hidden partition is created by Vista. It contains the necessary backup files that are needed for the repair of the system, if something goes wrong with your operating system.

  (2) the second partition contains the record of recovery of HARD drive that allows you to retrieve the laptop without using recovery discs. But of course, you are able to create a recovery disk and it s highly recommended to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  3.1 I think that this could be possible, but before that you'd change any partition size I recommend the creation of the recovery disk because there is a high risk that after changing the size of partitions you drive HARD recovery option does not work.

  3.2) see point 3.1

  4.) I think the other hidden partition using this 20 GB. Also please note that 250GB are not really 250 GB 1 GB is not 1000MB but 1024MB.
  This means that the 250 GB HARD drive is not 250 000 MB but 238 418 MB
