• Satellite 1130-z24: upgrade hard drive question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite 1130 - z24, which requires a new hard drive, the old man is a MK2108GAP of 20 GB but I want to set up a larger capacity drive. What is the record of the maximum size that I can use without any problems of compatibility?

  One of the following players would work?

  MK6034GAX 60 GB
  MK8026GAX 80 GB
  100 GB MK1032GAX

  I searched on various forums and websites, but the only information I can find is that the BIOS will not support the discs above a certain size, but I don't know how it is.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hello

  I think that good old classic supports IDE controller.

  The IDE controller manages max 128 GB HDD due to support of the 28-bit LBA.

  So in your case, I would recommend choosing a HARD disk that is not longer than 120GB
  so, theoretically the 100 GB MK1032GAX should be compatible

• Satellite 2410-304: upgrade HARD drive

  News, I have a laptop Satellite 2430-304 with a MK3018GAS of hard drive (30 GB). I would change this hd for one of them, MK4026GAX, MK6026GAX and MK8026GAX. The dimensions are the same, 2.5 ", 69,85 mm, 9.5 mm, 100 mm. could I choose one then no problem? Thanks, Javier Lido

  Hi Javi,

  I swapped the MK3018GAS in my SA30 for a MK8025GAS without any problem at all. I think the only difference between the 8025 and the 8026 is the rotation speed (5400 RPM against 4200 RPM).

  I don't think you should have no problem.

• Satellite P100-307 Exchange HARD drive help/advice needed

  Hello

  Thanks for your recent advice on exchanging my 200 GB HDD in to a 500 GB Sized HDD.

  Can you please let me know what I should do with the new HARD disk, so that my P100 can recognize (I format etc.)? I would like the existing to the new mirrored HDD... How does go?

  Sorry to bother you with this beginner Questions...

  RGDS

  Windows will recognize a new hard drive (I assume that you will start the machine from cd) and it has need of formatting it will tell you. You will then need to change the format to FAT32 to NTFS - Windows Help will tell you how to...
  If you are keen on the old disk to the new disk of mirror image, then I think that google some research is in order for example "mirror new portable drive ' there are older versions of disk imaging programs available for free download that will handle NTFS. to search for names include Norton Ghost and Acronis.
  How do you think 'connect' the old and new readers - for example, external usb box on a network, set up two disks on a pc.
  You can copy all the files using the DOS command xcopy with the selector include hidden files/folders.
  Your old drive has a hidden for purposes of recovery partition and you must decide how you manage it.

• Satellite 3000-100: upgrade hard drive

  I would like to replace the original HDD 20 GB of my Satellite 3000-100 by a larger, preferably 80 GB.
  I can replace it with any hard drive 2.5 "EIDE or are there restrictions (BIOS?) on the brand, size etc. ?
  Is the replacement easy to conduct, or the risk of damaging the laptop?
  There will be problems with the Windows ME product recovery CD or install it on a larger hard drive?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Hello

  Well, this unit is a little older. As far as I know, the HARD drive is under the keyboard.
  In this case, you will have to remove all covers. Unfortunately, I n t find any detailed documents related to this procedure.

  But I know that at the bottom of the device, you can find the modular Bay. This allows you to add an additional hard drive. I found some information that you can use a 30.0 GB HDD modular Bay.
  In this case, you can use two hard drives of your laptop.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Satellite A500 - 138 (PSAM3E) - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello guys.

  I decided to upgrade the HARD drive in my Toshiba A500-138 1 - years, (PSAM3E). Now, I have 400 GB HARD drive and would like to have 1 TB - Toshiba MK1059GSM to be precise. The only thing that prevents me to order it now, is that this HARD drive is 12.5 mm high, while my old 400 GB is 9.5 mm (that you can consider as standard).

  Don't you think it would fit in the A500 chasis? Perhaps someone did a similar upgrade in the past?

  One last thing - Toshiba A500 will be same recognize the HARD drive? I think that 1 - year, laptop should not have a problem with it, but I could be wrong.

  Any help and suggestions would be very appreciated :)

  Kind regards.

  I had the same situation on my old Satellite A300 and I can say that you can use the two HDD. It doesn t matter what the hard top. You can use both of them.

  I assume that you are the first one here on this forum with these updates and it will be nice to hear your personal experience, but I think that the new HARD drive should be recognized correctly on this new model of laptop.

• Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hi all...
  I would like to ask something...

  I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

  I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

  My questions are the following:

  (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
  I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

  (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

  (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
  May I take in an informal shop, too?

  (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
  Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

  Thank you in advance...

  Hey Buddy

  It is good that ask you the question.

  (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

  (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

  (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

  (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
  Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

  Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
  The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
  So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

  My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

  According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

  I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

  Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards
  Thomas

  Nice. ;)
  To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

• By Satellite L300 - 18 d - upgrade HARD drive

  Hi all.
  I have a Satallite L300 18(d), which I want to upgrade the hard drive on, could someone tell me the maximum size I can fit is?
  Thanks in advance ;-)

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to find these info. All you can get is info from users who have version HARD drive on this machine.

  For example, a friend of mine bought used last year L300 on eBay, and the disk HARD has been locked by password for HARD drive. We bought new HARD drive. It was 200 GB HARD drive, and everything went well. The original was, if I m remembering well, 120 GB.

• Upgrade the HARD drive and install SSD XP to Windows 7 upgrade - which command?

  I want to make some improvements to my trusty HP XP media center PC m7350n.  Ideally, here's what I want to do in a certain order:

  -upgrade the HARD drive (currently 250 and 500 GB installed, replace with 750 unique?)

  -install an SSD as boot drive (60 to 120 GB?)

  -Reinstall XP restore disks media center

  -do a upgrade 'clean' for win 7 Home premium (64 bit?) from the disc "upgrading"

  The Windows 7 upgrade disk looks like for XP/Vista, so I can't put new hardware and go directly to a cost of Win 7 install.

  Plan a.

  I understand the look of for the minimum size of disks restore disks.  All guess what SSD size would be the minimum? I guess the upgrade of the first hard drive and reinstall XP MC since the restore disks would be trivial (as opposed to their use after a motherboard replacement).  If I have XP MC on the SDS, it is only a reason any Win 7 no upgade SDS?

  Plan B

  If I install the SSD after upgrade to Windows 7, I guess I have to use something like a disk copy program to the boot from SSD HARD disk partition.  SUGESTIONS?

  Plan C

  Restoration of SKIP.  Move existing partitions of 250 and 500 GB drives to 750.  Update for Win 7.  Install an SSD.  Move the boot partition.  Use the same drive for both copy program?

  Am I missing something?

  In case anyone is wondering, I have a spare 750Go drive and the Windows 7 upgrade disk so the only "cost" of this update is to purchase the SSD (and if necessary disk copy program).

  Thank you!

  Don,

  Please read this article by Paul Thurrott more "Clean install Windows 7 with upgrade media '. It essentially says you can make a completely clean install on a drive with no operating system. The key is not to enter the COA product key after installation is complete. I, myself, installed Windows 7 to discs using disks 'upgrade' several times without problems of installation or activation. The order I do it with, is as follows:

  1 copy all the files and folders of the 250 and the 500 GB HDD of 750 GB.

  2. remove the 250 GB, 500 GB and 750 GB of computer hard drives.

  3. install the SSD.

  4. install Windows 7 on the SSD without entering the product key.

  5. Once finished Windows 7 installation, enter the product key and activate Windows.

  6. return old hard disks of computer as needed.

  7. install purchased software and Windows updates if necessary.

  You should go to 4 GB of RAM to get the most out of Windows 7 64 bit and you can upgrade your graphics card.

  Note: You will lose all software provided CVS Windows XP on your m7350n. Make sure that you create your HP recovery discs before you proceed with the change of equipment or install Windows 7. Your HP recovery disks can have the factory included HP software... it may or may not work with Windows 7. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
