• How to wear the Vista/Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 software after upgrade HARD drive

  Hello.

  Have ordered a Seagate Momentus 7200.02 200 GB SATA-300 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 "for my Satellite Pro A200GE - 26. Toshiba slow disk with this laptop ships is simply not fast enough so it is replaced.

  My question is this: can I use the recovery disc of the DVD came with my laptop to reinstall Vista and all the Toshiba drivers on this new album?

  If this is not the case-how can I do?

  If I can do it - could you give me a checklist of things to do?
  Are several factors I need to get used to exist on the recovery disk?

  I ask this because I know how to do this on a PC with the Original OS disc, but I was horrified when my laptop has been delivered and no original OS disk - I think it's very bad for any help would be accepted with gratitude.

  Thank you in advance,

  Kenny.

  Hello

  You should not worry about the whole procedure, just install the HARD drive, put the recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive, press F12 and start with your CD drive or just press 'C' (which automatically inserted CD, boots).

  The recovery is not limited to a specific HARD disk, it automatically adjusts the size of the partition and install EVERTHING on your disk as a preinstalled OS shipped directly from the factory. Don t you need some additional drivers or software, the only thing you need to do is to copy your personal data on the system drive and customize your windows.

  It is the intention of recovery media: put it in and it does everything by itself.

  That's all. :)

  See you soon

• Satellite P300-172 - you can upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello

  so I got my Satellite P300-172 for a while now, Windows Vista has always done my head in, and now I think THAT my warranty ran out, I feel its time to upgrade to Windows 7, the other reason im trying to improve because vista is unable to search for updates guard saying: an error occurred when the new updates for your computer Code 80072EFD

  Can some give me advice in weather im going to be better that the upgrade to Windows 7 or do a detail clean installation of it please?

  Hello

  Personally, I prefer to do a clean install any kind of upgrade. If you decide to do an install of Windows 7, look for drivers on the Toshiba driver page.

• Re: Satellite P300-150 and HDD upgrade

  Hi, my wife Laptop(P300-150) has developed a tick unit HDD1 - I would like to replace this 250 GB drive with other, larger capacity HARD drive. So my question is twofold

  (1) what is the maximum size of disk HARD of this laptop can tolerate? -500 GB?
  (2) does it matter if I buy a SATA - II - when the original disc in a SATA drive?

  Thanks in advance
  IMM

  Unfortunately there is no document where you can find this info on the maximum capacity of the HARD drive that can be used with the Satellite P300 but I m 100% sure you can use 500 GB on Satellite P300.

  I don't know if your laptop has a SATA II controller but, as far as I know, SATA II is backward compatible and I think you can use it on your laptop, but it runs with SATA that access speed.

  Upgrade disk SATA I HARD and you will be happy with it.

• 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.

  Good bye

• My Satellite P300 forget sometimes load the video driver

  My laptop (Satellite P300) sometimes "forget" to start to load the videodriver.
  If the resolution is by default in the Windows startup screen.
  No matter what version of Windows I have, all the drivers are up to date.

  When I restart for the most part, the problem is solved...

  To be honest I never heard of something like that. in recent years, my brother has P300. In the beginning he used with original Vista and 2 years its P300 works with Win7. No problem at all.

  I don't know which OS you are using now, but have you tried reinstalling the video driver (display)?
  I also hope that you are using driver on Toshiba download page.

• Satellite P300 - 133 WiFi card - upgrade to N

  Hello
  My laptop Satellite P300-133 was delivered with a WiFi Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card.
  It has facilitated access to the PC card.

  I have acquired a new worthy of the N standard wireless router.
  It works very well with existing under the standard G laptop card.
  New Satellite P300 models are standard h.

  I would like to know if there is a map for the Satellite P300-133 that I can use to replace the original card for laptop with a corresponding also to the N standard.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is has some network cards wireless standard 802.11 Draft N but also as far as I know the project WLan N needs 3-wire antenna.

  The other WLan standards such as 802.11 A, B or G need 2 antenna son and I imagine that the laptop has been delivered with 2 wired antenna and therefore the Draft N will not work in your notebook.

  However, you can try some external wireless network cards that would favour the Draft N

• Satellite P300-1EI - is a second HARD drive possible?

  Hello

  Before to change the hard drive for more capacity, I would like to know if this laptop is capable of managing 2 hard drives?

  There are 2 places to a physical hard disk, use for the current HARD drive and the second is empty. The connection is present, but I don't know if it's usable? The coverage is also different, he did not use to put something in this space...
  If someone could give me some information about this second location?

  Thank you

  If you see a connector in the second HDD bay it is possible to use a second s HDD.
  Try it, but I think it should work.

  As far as I know for the Satellite P300-1EI you need a SATA 2.5 HARD.

• Satellite P300-19 q - processor upgrade

  Running the stock P8400, probs am will update soon, I know that the natural way is probs the P9700 but [here | http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel _ (chipsets) PM45_Express.html] a T9900 and X 9100 as well compatible upgrades and 1-2 Quad-core processors, but they run to tensions over high, any1 know if this laptop has cooled enough for these processors?
  Any1 has updated to one of them?

  I have BIOS problems? I'll FRY my motherboard?

  Cristo

  Hey,.

  Update CPU is not supported Toshiba so everything happens on your own risk. I guess no one has tested these CPUs P300 so hearts it risky s upgrade in my opinion and I don't it. I doubt that the cooling system, the motherboard and BIOS is also designed for these hearts high performance processors

  Do you really need a quad core? Intel P8400 is still quite fast CPU and should enough for all applications. :)

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Toshiba Satellite P300 - tools lost after upgrade to Win7

  Hello everyone,

  I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 for Toshiba.

  And I have 2 DVD:
  1 for the Toshiba upgrade and upgrade for windows 1.

  I ran the first 2 steps without problems.

  But when I ran the 3rd stage (which is the upgrade of the tools Toshiba), an error has occurred and I wanted you canceled (I even removed the CD from the CD drive), but the process kept running.

  In conclusion, the process went all the way but without tools are installed and when I want start the CD once again, it is as if all of the tools are already installed and it does not work.

  What can I do to make the system considers that the tools are not installed?

  Or where I can find another installer that runs the Toshiba tools on my system?

  Thank you very much.

  Laurent.

• Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
  Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

  Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
  I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

  http://www.dabs.com/ProductList.aspx?&NavigationKey=11154&NavigationKe y = 50540 & key = 40970000 & CategorySelectedId = 11154 & PageMode = 1

  Hello

  I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
  I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

  Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

• Satellite P300 - 18 M: should I HARD drive recovery image if I have the recovery DVDs

• Satellite P300-16 t - adding a second drive HARD-success!

  I have added a second hard drive today for my Toshiba P300-16 t.

  I realized that I had a Toshiba SATA drive in a USB disk device that would spare - 250 gb.

  I improvised by removing the feet spread on the cover of the second cage to hard disk using a sharp knife. I put the Bank in place ensuring maximum safety. I also used a heat-resistant material (say what) to secure the drive up as readers are rarer than hen's teeth. I made sure that the reader also had room to breathe. The cover was then released and I turned on my computer and it found the new HDD, the installed drivers at home but hey presto! Another 250 GB to play with.

  Now, I did it is because I call four FSA in the United Kingdom but they weren't any help by providing a cage for the second disc.
  Two said they only deal with businesses and not individuals.
  Others have said that they only provide power cables and batteries!
  Hope that my Tosh never goes down and I must use their services...

  Anyway, I don't recommend anyone do what I just - it is possible if you are a bit adventurous...

  Have you used the Hotglue?

  Surely, you can get the FSA HARD drive media. Unless there is a global shortage on cradles P300: p
