Satellite P105-S6114 - need new hard drive

I have a P105-S6114 who has a BAD bug in it. I think my only option is to replace the hard drive. I can't find the documentation of origin came with the computer (2.5 years) and I'm not finding much info on the Toshiba site.

I need to know if I have a SATA or ATA hard drive and, because I can't find the original supplied disks, how to reinstall the operating system. I have a copy of Windows XP I can load.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Why do you replace the HARD drive? Of course what he s defective?
You can check the drive with the Drive Fitness Test:

On the Toshiba site I founded the user manual. Check it! http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

If you have lost the Toshiba Recovery disk you can contact an ASP and request a new one. On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP.

Good bye

  • Satellite a210-171 needs new HARD drive

    I took the laptop to the computer repair shop, they want to charge me £100 to replace the HDD with a 500 GB one and reinstall windows. I am not satisfied with the service, the length of time necessary to diagnose the problem or the price then I refused to let them fix it. It took 3 days to identify the problem and more they can not even give me a quote until they had installed the new hard drive!

    Is it easy enough for me to replace the HARD drive? I don't really know where he is, than only what disk HARD buy! I have the original recovery disk, it will load everything once I have replace the HARD drive?

  • Satellite 3000-100: need new HARD drive

    Hello

    I am looking for a new HARD drive for my laptop.

    I've already tired 3 different (2xHiachi, 1xToshiba MK2023GAS) HARD drives, but the Bios (latest Version 2.40) could not detect them.

    Nobody knows that suits HARD drive?

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite 3000-100 supports an Enhanced IDE Ultra DMA66/100 interface.
    Therefore, use this HARD drive interface compatible hard drives.

    The 20 GB HARD drive should be compatible due to the fact that this device was equipped with a 20 GB HARD drive too.

    I discovered that these drives may be supported:
    PA3100U 15 GB HDD-modular
    PA3101U modular HARD 30 GB disk

    Try simply google for this part numbers and you should get a few hits.

  • Satellite A200-1QK - need new HARD drive for upgrade

    I was planning on upgrading my A200-1QK (320 GB of HARD drive).

    I was looking for a HARD drive with more space and possibly with more speed, I work with the composition and recording of the audio mixing software and libraries tend to consume a lot of space (I know that an Office would be the best option and I have one, but sometimes I need a more portable solution). I even thought connecting the BONES a SATAII external 1 TB HARD drive but I don't know if it's possible.

    Well, but the question here is:
    What are the technical proprieties that I should look for in a HARD drive so it works on my laptop?
    Y at - it no avaible 7200 RPM for laptops? I'm looking for some 500 GB or larger.

    Thanks in advance =)

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but it produces more heat and need a little more power as a 5400 RPM model. So it of your choice what you buy. ;)
    You can buy each portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA or SATA2 connector. If you are looking for a small tray on online shops, you should find enough hard drives of 500 GB at 7200 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Western Digital hard drives.

  • Need new hard drive for my Satellite L755D

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L755d-14 x (part No. PSK36E-057006N5)
    Which hard drive (internal) should / can buy?

    Now when you need new HARD drive I recommend to update with SSD. SSDS are very fast and with the help of SSD you will have much better laptop performance.
    What you need is SSD with SATA interface.

    David info on SSD available at your dealer.

  • Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7

    Hello

    My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.

    If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?

    So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Help please?

    You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
    I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?

    If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.

  • Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

    I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

    In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
    I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

    I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

    > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
    Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
    If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

    You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
    In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

    Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

    Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

  • Satellite L450 - install the new hard drive

    Hi, I hope someone can help, I have a Satellite L450, which has windows 7 preloaded on it. However, the hard drive became corrupt and unable to use, unfortunately I never backed up anything.
    Can I buy a new hard drive and install it? If yes how to operate as I no o/s on cd?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi 4ordie,

    Of course, you can replace the HARD drive that s no problem. Replace HARD drive has 5 or 10 minutes and you can do it yourself because it s not very complicated.

    New drive HARD doesn t contain all the files and you will need to install the operating system and all the drivers yourself but I m wondering why you don t have an installation disc (recovery). It s clearliy mentioned in the manual how to do this.

    In any case, no, you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings:

  • Satellite A100-529 and new HARD drive

    I bought a new HARD drive: Samsung HM320JI (320 GB/SATA/5400 RPM / 8 M I)
    When I turn on my laptop, it loads as 60%, and then it crashes. Why? It is not compatible?

    Satellite A100-529
    PSAA2e-01J00ZG3
    BIOS: 2.30

    What should I do?
    I formatted my new HDD using my desktop PC

    I don't understand what you mean with these 60%. 60% of what?

    In my opinion the new HARD drive should work fine with your Satellite A100.
    As Alex has already written fair use facilities for the installation of the OS recovery disk and I think everything should be OK.

  • HP pavilion dv7 4077cl need new hard drive

    I need a new hard drive for my laptop HP pavilion dv7 4077cl entertainment.  The old man is a Toshiba MK6465gsx.  What would be compatible?  Maybe more now I have 640 GB of storage like most.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Yes, the HARD drive become more fat and more (capacity), becomes also more small - actually thinner - (dimension) AND cheaper too. You can use more (once again - ability) HDD from reliable suppliers/manufacturers. 750 GB or 1 TB of a WD HARD drive would be a good start - please stay with the one who has more cache and fast (7200 rpm or more).

    My suggestion: replace it with a SSD and put a larger HARD drive on the second span.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    Maybe the HDD IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA and it would mean that more than 120 GB of HARD drive are not supported.
    In this case, you can only use hard drives that are not more than 120 GB.

    I think that you will need to test a HARD drive with a smaller size

  • Satellite A100 - 551 (PSAA2E) - new HARD drive freeze computer

    Hello

    Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

    I have a Satellite A100-551 and original 80 GB SATA HARD disk is dead. It works enough, but there are a lot of mistakes on its surface and the pc go very slow!
    So, I buy another drive.
    This one: [samsung 250 GB | http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Composants/showdetl.cfm?product_id=422226&option=1]

    I have install on the pc but when I start the pc freeze.
    At startup, there is a moment where a normal message saying that I can access the F2 BIOS with a progressbar for loading.

    The freezing of progressbar and nothing else has add.
    If I press F2 nothing adds.
    I can't do nothing.

    Is it possible to get started with my new HARD drive?

    Is there some hard drive not recommended?

    Thanks for your replies.

    Strange, but perhaps the new HARD drive is defective or not compatible with your laptop.
    Have you tested the new HARD drive in a laptop or in an external HARD drive enclosure? It work?

    You can go into the BIOS without HARD drive?
    Check it!

    In your case I would use check the HARD drive in another laptop first, and then maybe you should try another of your laptop HARD drive.

    Good luck!

  • My Satellite cannot recognize the new HARD drive

    I bought a new hard drive for my laptop. After installing it, I didn't get the message none found a fixed drive. I updated the bios from the Toshiba site and the same message is still there.

    I also tried the drive in another laptop. It has been recognized correctly, so I formatted one installed Windows XP Pro top. It worked ok so I tried again in my laptop but message saying put system disk and press any key. So I put XP disc in it starts the installation starts to transfer files and doesn't give the message no hard drive found so it still does not find the hard drive.

    Please can someone help?

    Hi Ken

    It would be nice to know the name of cell exactly.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive due to the size of the HARD drive.

    It would be very interesting to know if the HARD disk is compatible with this laptop and supported

  • Satellite L750-16Z, bigger new HARD drive need

    Now I need to buy a new internal HDD for my laptop and I would like to buy one that is at least 1 TB. What is the maximum capacity drive that I buy for this laptop and are there restrictions on manufacturers/brands should I buy? Are there good internet sources for this?

    Also, I imagine that most portable hard drives are SATA now.

    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    No one answered it in 2015. Nobody knows the answer please?

    Is a 1 TB SATA HDD good for my laptop model (Satellite-L750-16Z)? Can I get a bigger car? Is SATA the right one?
