Satellite P200D-139 - HARD drive upgrade options

I received a P200D-139 and there seem to be two 40GB hard drives.

I want to upgrade if I put Windows 7 on it.

I have updated the BIOS, so how big a drive can I put into each slot of the HARD drive?

I'm also going to 4 GB of RAM.

See you soon

Hello

Satellite or Equium P200D series was equipped with SATA HDD.
This means that mobile supports the SATA HDD controller, which means that we must avoid any physical limitation.

Usually, you can use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA
But I think that 320 HARD drive should be good enough
What do you think?

  • Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
    I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    These are the specs on the site
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

    Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
    Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
    I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

  • Satellite Pro U200 - hard drive upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro U200-128 and you want to upgrade the hard drive. I can't find detailed specifications to show me the compatibility, drive type and therefore the size of a disc that I can buy.
    I think that its SATA, but there is a lot of info on SATAII, not sure if it will work in my model?

    Any help appreciated

    Hi ollieg72,

    You re right. Satellite Pro U200 already uses the HARD drive with SATA interface if you need a HARD SATA 2.5. In addition, it should be possible to use every ability because on SATA interface, there is no capacity limit.

    Anyway, SATAII HDD is also working because they are compatible to the old interface of SATA1 downgrade. So it makes no difference if the HDD is SATAII interface or not. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
    Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

    Best regards

    Hello

    In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
    If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
    These hard drives are so cheap.

    Is that enough for you?
    Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

    The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
    -Remove the HARD drive cover
    -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
    -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

    I guess you know now how to put a new.

  • Satellite P200D - second hard drive

    I want to install the second hard drive on my P200D - 11L.
    But I do not have the connector for the HARD drive in the second drive Bay.
    Is it possible to add the second drive?

    If there is no connector HARD drive that you can not use second HARD drive. I have Satellite P200D-111 and there is also no connector to the second HARD drive.

    Laptop Briefcase is the same for all models of laptops P200 and some of them come with hard drives 2. because of this, there are empty.

  • Satellite L350 - 21Q - hard drive upgrade

    I have a satellite L350 - 21Q and while to love him as a machine in most ways I think it would be benefited greatly a larger hard drive. With this in mind, I started looking for a suitable replacement and found a 1 TB drive in size and uses the SATA 3.0 connection.

    I'm not sure if the machine will support the drive and so I look to you guys for help. Anyone know if the drive works with the machine, or is two opposites. If this is true can someone advise me what SATA type works and this as the maximum capacity of the space on the hard drive please?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    Unfortunately, Toshiba provides some specific information on hard drives compatible and tested.
    In my opinion you should not notice a few problems with this HARD drive. It is important that you use the HARD disk with SATA connector.

    You can order the new HARD drive, test and if something does not such as you simply want to return.
    Your comments are welcome, because we do not have precise information about these updates.

  • Satellite L100 113 - HARD drive upgrade

    I want to convert the disc on the laptop 60 GB to 250 GB.
    If it is possible?, flat main (motherboard) some limitations to disk?
    Plan to buy Samsung 250 GB 2.5 '7200 obr, SATA, 16 MB.

    Thank for the answer.

    Hello

    Yes, I think you should be able to upgrade the HARD drive since the SATA HDD controller is not limited to any size you should be able to use the 250 GB HARD drive.

    250 GB, 2.5 ", 7200 obr, SATA, 16 MB is pretty and expected functions.

  • Satellite A100-062 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    I'm out of memory on my A100-062 the disk of Vista (C) on my laptop (currently 62.6MB/37.1GB left!), but I left on data (E) 32 GB drive / 35.9 GB.

    Is it possible to move itunes and my library of music on the D drive and where there is more room? Or should I look to upgrade the hard disk (internal or external)

    I am a complete novice when it comes of it so * _basic detailed explanations_ * on what best to do would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Max1210

    Before you buy a new HARD drive, you should try to move the folder my documents on the second partition. Also the mp3 files you have.
    I save my documents, pictures, music, and so far only on the second partition. On the first partition I install only the programs that I need.

    If you want a new HARD disk it of your choice if you take a HARD drive internal or external. On the external HARD drive, you can backup your data.

  • Satellite L20-183 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183. I would like to change the hard drive TOSHIBA MK6032GSX to a larger and more rapid as: WD 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 Mb SATA2 Notebook WD3200BEKT.
    It will be compatible or should I buy SATA 1 HDD 5400 RPM?

    Hello

    Satellite L20 works with disk HARD SATA 1 and maximum capacity, with which it was delivered was 100 GB but I think 320 should not be problematic.
    RPM MAX was 5400 then I think you should buy the HARD disk with the same number of TURNS.

  • Cannot retrieve Satellite L300 using HARD drive recovery option

    Hello

    I'm trying to restore to factory settings but have no luck.

    I tried pressing F8 when the toshiba logo comes back, it goes to the screen of boot in advance and I select computer repair and it boots to windows. I don't get the recovery options.
    I also tried pressing zero when switching on the laptop just rings home.

    What im I doing wrong?

    It is a vista running L300-149

    As I see all you do is right.
    Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times and you will enter the Advanced startup options

    The first option should be repair your computer and after two or three steps, you should see The System Recovery Options , and last option there Toshiba recovery.

    Have you used this recovery options in the past or you are trying to use it for the first time?

  • Re: Disk hard Satellite P200D-139 upgrading?

    Hello world

    I recently got an opportunity * Satellite P200D-139 * PSPBNE-004003KS as a gift, it currently has a 80 GB hard drive, but I would like to upgrade to a larger. I searched on the net and forums, etc., but still quite confused.

    can I switch to a larger HARD drive? and what is the maximum size that I can go to so...

    Does anyone know also the best place for such an article...

    Thank you very much!

    Martin

    Hello

    I don't know much Equium series, but I guess that's the sata (sata interface) controller. SATA interface, there is no limit of ability so up to 500 GB (even more) should be recognized correctly. The only thing is that BIOS should also support it.

  • Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

    Hello, this my phone trees.
    I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
    Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
    PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
    QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
    Thanks in advance.

    More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

    Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
    You've misunderstood with username and account.

    Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
    Now, you have two options:
    -to order the new recovery DVDs or
    d ' use the clean install of the OS.

    What do you think of this?
    To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

    I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

    If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

  • Satellite A40-151 Possible HARD drive upgrade

    Hello

    are there restrictions on the type of hard drive that you can on this model?

    RPM
    buffer
    Number of PINS
    Type of the ATA

    I was watching a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST980815A, if this helps answer the question.

    Concerning

    Lee

    Hello

    I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

    If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot access Windows on my Satellite P200D-139

    Evening,

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P200D-139. I am trying to format the hard drive and whenever I turn it on, it just goes right to a box of password directly after showing the Toshiba logo. The box says press F2 or F12 as normal, as I do, the password box comes in next. This isn't a password of windows, as windows does not load.

    I think it's a set up / BIOS password. Any help around this would be appreciated. I have a thought of the Mike pattern to remove battery CMOS, ideas, please keep in mind that I can't enter the BIOS / or implement the page thanks a lot YES - YES.

    Please respond to my email

    [email protected]

    Hello

    Yes it must be the BIOS password. In this story, it's a bit strange to me that you have on this subject.
    Is your laptop or you got someone?

    Is that you will not be able to have access to pre-installed Windows or option to install new windows if you don't have good BIOS password. Removal of password is not information on a public forum, so if you need assistance, you should contact Toshiba service in your country. They can remove for you.

    I know removing the CMOS battery won't help you to remove the BIOS password.
