• Satellite M40X-112: can I use the 160 GB HARD drive

  I have a Satellite M40X-112 lapptop and I want to upgrade my 80 GB to 160 GB internal drive.
  How is know possible? (Toshiba hotline cannot give me an answer only that a 80 GB drive has been tried with these lapptop!). Anyone have experience with that?

  I read several statements here in the forum about HDD upgrade on the M40X and it seems that there is a limitation in the BIOS.
  The BISO will not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive and that is why you will be not possible to install an OS or you will not be able to boot from this device.

  Please use the "advanced search" from this forum to find discussions on upgrading the HARD drive.

• My Pavilion a255c 2003 will support a 250 GB hard drive addition?

  I have a pavilion built in 2003 a255c.  Will be the controller on my MSI MS-6577 v 2.1 (Xenon 4) motherboard support an expansion of the capacity of the original 120 GB hard drive by adding a second hard drive of 250 GB?  I have the operating system Windows XP SP3 and BIOS Core Version v6.0, revision of BIOS 3.25 23/09/2003 (the last update available).  Is there any other compatibility issue that I need to check?

  Also, the HPs site for specs on HP Pavilion a255c, maximum RAM capacity is indicated as 1 GB (2 x 512 MB).  But the HP Web site for specifications on the motherboard (Xenon 4) for Pavilion a255c, maximum capacity of RAM is listed as 2 GB.  Which is correct?  I have only two DIMMS on my motherboard.

  1 100 means the speed of the ATA 100 hard drive. In the internal IDE hard drives, we have IDE ATA 66, 100, 133 to my knowledge.

  2. I recommend do not a 7200 RPM drive and it can not detect.

  3. no limitation by adding a second hard drive internal. External hard drive is not a problem at all. He will have power to USB or external power source according to the type of external hard drive.

• Satellite L50 - A-1 DG - with the new SSD HARD drive replacement

  Satellite L50 - A - 1 DG

  I would put my SSD in the PC and install win7 on it. But it does not work.

  I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  I tried to replace the SSD hard drive. Then the pc cannot start up. And I can't get into the bios or adjustment.

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  > I try to put the SSD into the DVD rom adapter. It can not been recognized in the bios.

  This does not work with all models of laptops.
  As far as I know that the laptop must support Slim Select Bay and the BIOS should also support this hardware option. But in your case, it doesn t.

  One possible solution is the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk.

  You said that you are not able to access the BIOS after these updates.
  Well, before you do this (a SSD drive connection) you should access the BIOS and must disable secure boot and must set the start mode MSC mode.

  The comments appreciated.

• Re: Satellite L500-202 - Bios error! in front of HARD drive

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500-202.
  I tried to reinstall Win 7 on it, but I can't install it and display an error message from the Bios.

  In the configuration of installation a menu! in front of the HARD drive.
  What is the problem?

  Best regards

  Hello

  Please try to configure the default BIOS by using the F9 key in the BIOS.
  To access the BIOS F2 press immediately after the laptop is turned on.
  Then press f9 and save changes

  I recommend that you test the HARD drive as well... use a tool called 'Test of fitness Drive' for this...

• EliteBook 8730w: Hp 8730w Will support 500 GB of HARD drive?

  I have a Hp 8730w and the vehicle currently has a 160 GB HARD drive. I have an additional 500 GB HARD drive.

  8730w will be able to support it? I saw its specifications and found this info from Hp site:

  You are well. It of an older laptop, but a true ICH9 SATA storage controller has therefore no effective size limit for a SATA hard drive. Do you need a manual, or do you know how to replace the hard drive physically? It's so old specs is a time when readers were smaller and the manual lists only the HP readers offered by the factory.

• Satellite A55-S106 does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  I replaced the 60 GB IDE HDD in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A55-S106 with a 160 GB one of Western Digital.

  I've restored a Ghost 10 image to the new drive on a hard disk external. The computer still recognizes only 60 GB. Belarc and HD Tune to see a 160 GB drive, but show the volumes as being only 60 GB.

  Disk management Windows show 93,16 GB as unallocated.
  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  Someone at - it ideas? The BIOS can be crippled somehow? I can't find anything in the BIOS that seems to address hard drive size.

  I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow? Here I used the original recovery CD to recover everything first and then restored the Ghost image?

  I put a 160 GB drive in an old 1999 Dell desktop running Windows 98 and no problems like that. It is hard to believe that a laptop from 2005 would have this problem. It is, however, my first attempt at using a version of Ghost Windows hard drive recovery.

  > I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow?

  Yes, I suppose the HARD drive was not formatted in NTFS file format.
  This is why I would recommend booting from original Toshiba Recovery CD and then check if the HARD drive has been recognized correctly!

  Please check first!

  It s just connected to the connectors in the HARD drive Bay.

  Anyway, if you need a few laptop parts (not looking at this as part it is) then I recommend you contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country in order to get a part for the Satellite A210 laptop model.

  What I'll do with the hidden partition of Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  Is it possible to ignore it?

  Any suggestions?

  > What should I do with a hidden partition in Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  The hidden partition is needed for the repair of the system!
  If something goes wrong with the system, Vista would be able to repair the system using the files from the hidden partition.
  The Vista operating system creates this partition automatically during the installation of the OS!

  After you change the HARD drive, just start using the Toshiba and Vista recovery disk should create the partitions and must run the installer automatically

• Satellite L500-128 using recovery on the new (larger) HARD drive discs

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba L500-128, the original 320 GB hard drive is just too small and I would like to avoid buying an external hard drive (for backup purposes), because in my experience, they are just rubbish and I want that all my data on the laptop.

  I wanted to buy a new hard drive 1 tb (maybe 2) put into it, I guess it is equipped to deal with, (Please someone correct me if they know otherwise) with 4 GB of ram...

  In any case I am really wondered, whether or not I can get out with the help of my new hard disk recovery disks.
  If they did it the old-fashioned way (sending an OS disc and a disc of pilots) I wouldn't even question, but as I created disks of the computer itself, I wasn't too sure when I opened the drives upward to make sure all burned on them ok, I never saw something like what I expected.

  Also, I read somewhere that someone else has tried it and it didn't work, they assumed because the recovery included an image specifically to fit the original hard drive size?

  Can someone enlighten us all please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must create the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  Usually, you should receive a confirmation message that the recovery was created successfully.
  This means that you can use this disk to restore the laptop to factory settings is not serious what HARD drive is in use.
  This means that the recovery disc should work with the other drives.

  But note; This recovery disk using would format the HARD drive and remove all HARD drive partitions. But this should not bother you if you use the disk HARD vacuum ;)

  Hello!

  The HARD drive password can be removed from no one. Sorry this isn't a joke, it's done.

  The only way is to swap the HARD drive, but your data is lost.

• Satellite 1900-303: does anyone know the plug of HARD drive

  Hard drive crashed... anyone know the spec of the HD in a Sat 1900 303... His hard drive a 30 GB but just need more in detail to give the data recovery company. Woman in a panic because she is a classic home user and never save anything...

  Hello

  Maybe I'm wrong, but you don't need all the data. Each professional company can deal with each HARD drive that is given to the recovery of the data. If I'm wrong please let me know.

  HARD drive broke down, or perhaps your wife has deleted all the important data by mistake?
