• Satellite M30x - new HARD drive does not work

  Hello.

  I am installing a new ATA 2.5 "internal hard drive for my Toshiba M30X-166. The drive is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120 GB model. The laptop does not recognize the disc and no related error message appears, and in the BIOS, it shows as "HD not available."

  I put this drive in an external USB - IDE enclosure and was detected by my desktop PC, and I was able to partition and format the Momentus, so I know the drive is indeed work, but my M30X still does not detect the drive.

  What can I do to make the laptop recognize this unit? The BIOS M30X is: Phoenix EAL20 version 1.90.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello!

  Have you tried another HARD drive? The new HARD drive is may not compatible with the laptop or does work does not correctly.

  Normally, a 120 GB HARD drive should work because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
  In the worst cases, the HARD disk on the motherboard controller is defective :(

  Good bye

  P.S. - sorry for peut English

  Hello

  Are you sure that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?
  Seems that the laptop does not support the new drive (100 GB, 7200 RPM).

  Perhaps because of the large size of HARD drive and the fast rotation value.
  I would try to use a 60GB 5400 RPM a 80 GB HARD drive maybe works but it seems that the 100 GB HARD drive is not compatible

• Satellite A30 - new hard drive

  I need to replace the hard disk; at present, it is 30 gig can, I replace it with a 80 GB? I found it very easy to remove it from the pc, but when I put a new one to do I do allsorts of hi - tech programming?
  any help?

  Hello

  As Tom said that it is possible s BIOS don't recognize 80 GB HARD drive because of this large size. In my opinion the 40 or could a 60 GB HARD drive works fine but I don t think he will work with a 80 GB. But nevertheless some HARD drive merchants should have detailed information on the use of the HARD drive. If you want you can ask an opinion.

• Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

  Hello

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

  I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

  I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

  And the help is very appreciated.

  Thanks and regards,
  Dinesh

  Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

  A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

  Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

• Satellite Pro M45 overheating after a few updates and installation of new HARD drive

  I have a sat pro p4 overheated now. I tried the old hoover and this does not work. The thing is that both fans do not seem to turn on. All this happened after I downloaded some updates to put on a new hard drive, I bought.

  Now the fans are not at all turns. My m/b is actually a model of the A45 and I put a 2.0/128/400 CPU inside. The old man who was in it is a 2.4./512/533

  It seems that you have changed almost everything on the laptop.
  Motherboard, CPU, HARD drive, etc.

  Believe me; It s not easy to say why fans don t start. How everyone should exactly known what you did on your laptop?
  Maybe the card mother doesn t provide the power for the fan or the connection is failing.
  Are you sure that the motherboard is ok?

  Unfortunately, all we can do is to hear from you.
  But usually some diagnostic tests are needed to locate the fault.

• Satellite A200-1AG - Limitation of size for the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I want to improve my laptop with a new hard drive. It came with SATA 150 GB and I want to get a 320 GB Western Digital HD. Never changed the disk in a laptop and I don't know if there is no restriction on the voltage, overheating...

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  Hey U-mass,.

  There is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface on the new SATA interface. This means that you can buy this 320 GB HARD disk or another HARD drive. Each 2.5 HARD drive to SATA interface is theoretically possible to use.

  One more interesting thing is RPM HARD drive. There are hard drives with 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM. The latter is a little faster but needs more power and produces more heat. Normally, 5400 RPM is sufficient

• Satellite Pro A120 - Jerky empty reading after installing new HARD drive

  Just installed a new hard drive in my Satellite Pro A120. Made a full new install Vista, installed all the drivers but video playback is choppy/jerky. Even google earth is juddery. It didn't use to be like this with the original hard drive.

  A I had a problem of driver somewhere? I think it's the 945 chipset.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest, it's really hard for us, users, to say what causes this problem and I think you should test more yourself

  Anyway, you have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  You should also check if all Windows updates are installed and if you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.

• 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?

  What you need is SSD with SATA interface.

• Satellite A100 PSAA2E Setup hangs after connecting new HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a problem with TOSHIBA Satellite A100 PSAA2E (3 year old laptop)
  I bought the new SAMSUNG SPINPOINT 250 GB SATA (model HM250JI) hard drive.

  After connection, the computer hangs on the first screen. I can't access the BIOS Setup (press F2)
  I can't boot the CD of form (I can't select same drive to start by pressing F12)

  It just hangs.

  When the HARD drive is unplugged I can access the configuration of the BIOS or boot from CD. When the original hard drive (FUJITSU 40BG) is connected, everything is ok.

  I updated the BIOS to version 1.5 to the a more recent 2.6, but it did not help.

  HARD drive runs under windows xp, when connected by USB port. It is formatted with NTFS: a primary partition(15GB), a stretch with two logical partitions (20BG, GB 215).

  You have no idea where could be the problem?
  Should I format hard drive in a different way?

  BR,

  hosss

  Hello

  Check if your new HARD drive has been fitted with a small jumper that controls the master/slave/c-salt settings.

  A friend of mine bought a new HARD drive and BIOS didn't recognize because the rider has been set to the wrong position.

• 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 Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting

  Hello
  I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).

  Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
  Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?

  Any tips?

  Hi Kannengiesser,

  Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.

  But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

  Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
  This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

  Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
  Thanks in advance!

  > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
  Yes. Without a doubt.

  New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  If so avoid any problem.

  Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

• Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

  Hi people,

  I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
  I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

  And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
  If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

  Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

  Dave

  Of course you can do it.
  The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

  So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)
