• 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

• I can't recover my system (DV6000) using recovery discs after replacing the card mother/HARD drive

  I have a DV6408nr (windows vista Home premium) I had to replace the motherboard and hard drive. When installing the new motherboard (same part No.: 443775-001) and insert the recovery (bought from HP) discs that I have, I received an error message stating that the PC could not be recovered using my disks. The serial numbers on the label service and in my bios do not match. When I entered the serial number of my bios in HPpartsurfer, he said that the system is a DV6449us. I already checked my RAM and HARD drive is brand new/not formatted. I used these recovery discs (manufacturer: 483905-003/483906-003) successfully before on other flags of DV series. Is there a reason why these discs should not work on two motherboards in the same system with these similar specs? What should I do to get my system recovered?

  The number of the motherboard and other show information in the bios of the new Commission?

  The numbers do not match the recovery disks or information is missing in the bios.

  If it's really a mismatch, then you will need to find the good recovery disks or use a Dell installation disk operating system and use the product key from the sticker on the laptop to get activated, and then manually install the drivers.

  If the bios tattoo is damaged or missing information only a used HP Center can then fix the tattoo.

• Satellite Pro P70 - Has: 2nd invisible HARD drive - how to initialize the 2nd HARD drive

  I have a P70 - A. Satellite Pro
  'Primary' hard disk failed, and has been replaced by the service centre.

  Now, only the main hard drive is shown and the Service Center said that I had to 'initialize' the second hard drive to make it visible. They assure me that the hard drive is there, just hidden.

  How can I make visible?
  How do I initialize it?

  Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

  In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
  In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
  You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
  After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

• Satellite A200-28R - new 500 GB HARD drive not recognized

  Hi all!

  The BIOS cannot recognize my new 500 GB SATA HARD drive. When I connect it to the laptop, BIOS says "No device" in the drive options. Tried jumper allows you to change the interface of disc HARD SATA-1, but without effect.
  How can I force the BIOS to recognize?

  Have you tried the drive in another computer?

  Maybe your new drive HARD isn t working properly or defective so use another rnotebook to test it or request a replacement HARD drive.

• Satellite M70 - down keyboard when the HARD drive gets hot

  My Satellite M70-181 begins typing "t" series when you reach the working temperature. In my case, if the HARD disk exceeds a temperature of 48-50 ° C (speedfan).
  I replaced the original Travelstar with a new HDD Samsung, but it becomes so hot that precedes it and the blackout keyboard still appears.
  Because the processor is idle most of the time, the fan is too slow. But the fan doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the HARD drive in any case.
  Any ideas anyone? (Sorry for this kind of English...)

  Frank

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem with keyboard only when the temperature is raised to a higher level?

  To be honest, I have never experience this problem and I can't believe that a higher temperature of HARD drive could affect the functionality of keyboard

  However, maybe you should clean the grids and the cooling fans. The notebooks are clogged with dust and don t cooling modules work properly.
  Use a jet of compressed air which should help to remove dust, I think this should help to reduce the internal temperature.

• 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!

  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 Pro A210 PSAFHE: need new HARD drive compatible

  Hello

  Jealous of my relationship with my Tosh laptop - my wife - angry of stupidity, decided to slam closed
  OOPS, it no longer works.

  After cooling down - she did not apologize, BUT said she would pay for the repair.

  After investigation, I feel it may be the hard drive - I have re-installed from master disks and it worked sort of--even allowed to install aol.
  AND he then stopped loading - hearing closely it seems to be looking for the hard drive to complete the load.
  It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 IB1 model PSAFHE - 00800PEN and has a Hitachi hd
  HARD DRIVE: 5K 250-160
  Model: HTS542516K9SA00 5 v DC 700mA 160 GB SATA 5400 RPM

  I can't seem to find one anywhere - tried to contact Toshiba to know what would be appropriate replacements - picking the winning lottery numbers would be easier to get through Toshiba. So I thought I would try the forums.
  In my opinion, it's the hard drive BUT as a mere mortal, I could be wrong - all advice would be appreciated.

  Please tell us what drives fit
  concerning

  Hello

  It seems that the laptop supports a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  As the controller SATA HDD has no limitation, all SATA 2.5 hard drives should be compatible.

  If you want, so you can choose a 250GB 2.5 SATA HDD THAT and normally it should work as part of your laptop.

• C55 - A satellite - keep Windows after changing the HARD drive?

  Hello

  I want to buy Toshiba Satellite C55 - A, which is pre-installed Windows 8.1 and the recovery on the HARD drive Partition.
  I also want to buy 256 GB SSD and put it in Toshiba (and use the external as hard drive from Toshiba HARD drive).

  Can I install Windows 8.1 that I bought (preinstalled) on the SSD?
  If so, how?

  Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with an SSD.
  The key is the recovery media (USB key or drive).
  You must create a recovery disk to replace the HARD drive.

  Laptop Toshiba computers are preinstalled with software called Toshiba Recovery Media creator.
  This allows you to create a recovery media that you can use to reinstall the system on the new SSD installed!

• 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 Pro A10 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

  Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
  Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
  is - that say I have:
  1 a hard drive damaged
  2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

  the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
  Would appreciate any help.

  Thank you
  SCL

  Hello

  Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
  If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
  Then try to start the recovery procedure.

  However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

• Can satellite A30 - I install a larger HARD drive?

  I thought I had taken care with boards and pieces of kit. but after the reconstruction of my A30 (having the replaced DC Jack), he comes up with the following messages:

  * SMART failure provided on hard disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM) *.
  * WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent.*
  * Press F1 to continue. *

  I tried winding connector to HARD drive decision-making, which seems OK.

  So start thinking I killed this disk somehow. If Yes, can I install a larger drive, say 80 or even 160 GB and should I look for a magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I'm looking.

  Thank you. Robin

  Hello!

  If you delete the old HDD, you can see if an IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with an IDE HDD.

  You can use a larger HARD drive. This should not be a problem, but as far as I know this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that the disc size limit is 128GB and so you can use a 120 GB HARD drive.
  If you want to learn more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com

  So, you can buy a 120 GB HARD drive or an 80 GB HARD drive as you suggest. I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  In any case, I think that it s a good idea to exchange the HARD drive. SMART error message appears as if there is something wrong with the HARD drive to back up your data as quickly as possible. ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite A30: Question on the new hard drive

  The hard drive on the computer that the above has failed. When formatting the system hangs at 70%. When you run a utility to recover the hard drive again, it fails at 70%.
  I now seeks to replace the hard drive and would like to know any 2.5 "Sata hard drive (speed/brand/size) usable (no).

  I would have taken it would not be a problem, but there is no way to change the settings in the Bios, the Bios auto detects the drive when it is mounted?
  When mounting the hard drive can it be introduced inside the access panel on the back of the laptop or the entire back should be deleted?

  Thank you
  Keith.

  Hello

  Yes, the BIOS must allow and recognize the HARD drive automatically.

• Satellite A30: Replacement of RAM and HARD disk

  I am about to replace the HARD drive in my Satellite A30 with a 100 GB one and update the RAM in both slots 1 & 2. Can someone give me a step by step guide to do this?
  Also to clean the mouse buttons leave because they no longer work correctly

  Thank you very much

  Hi Andy,.

  To replace the hard drive, you need to remove the F5 screw on the bottom of the laptop. This will allow the optical drive to slide toward the front of the laptop so that you can get on the hard drive.

  Remove the four screws (2 on each side) that hold the hard disk, and then gently slide forward to disconnect its multi connector.

  Remove the two metal (one on each side) of the old drive brackets and attach them to the new drive then carefully replace the new drive and drag it to the back of the laptop (be careful not to bend the pins).

  Finally replace the optical drive and fix it with the screw (F5).

  Remove the RAM modules is described in the manual of the A30 user but briefly it is to remove the screws holding the access plate on the bottom of the laptop, and then releasing the fasteners securing spring-loaded modules RAM, so that they can be angled to allow them to be removed from the location of connectors. The new modules can be inserted (they won't be back in a sense) and pushed into place until the fixing pins 'click '. It is very important that you take adequate and anti-static precautions before accessing RAM modules as they can easily be 'flashed' by a discharge of static electricity.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L300 - several bad sectors on HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm very angry with my Satellite L300 - 14G. One morning, my computer refuses to boot Vista, each attempt ended with a crash and go back to the choice of startup (with 'repair my computer', 'safe mode' and 'start windows normally').

  I could save my data with a utility disk and try to "HDD Regenerator V1.71", which located a number of bad sectors on the HARD disk. I decided to put my computer as on the first day with the built-in utility.
  Two weeks ago, the same problem.

  I bought another hard drive and replaced it. Reinstalled Vista and my data... 1 month later... still the same problem (currently HDD Regenerator is scanning and find bad sectors 185!)
  I don't think that would be caused by a virus. I use Nod32 and I don't do anything illegal with my machine.

  Some mistakes seem to be generated every day... until the crash of the OS...
  Anyone have ever seen such a problem?
  (I bought in September 2008... no guarantee more for my machine)

  Let's take a look at your problem:

  -hdd went wrong and you are using a third party program to fix
  + Why don't check you with "chkdsk" and read the smart values of the disc? +
  -you bought another hard drive and after a short period of time the same failure occurs
  + was the new hard drive, a big and cheap or a little and a little expensive? +

  We will analyze what happened to your hard disks:
  -recovery written datas sectorwise back in training > bad sector crashed > and an error occurs
  -second hdd also went wrong > if this isn't a sustainable (expensive) hdd, it went bad because of operation > do you often take your laptop with you?

  This brings me to:
  -check the smart get more information
  -chech crc when reading from another source on the hard drive to verify if the hard drive or the controller or your memory gone bad
  -get a 'good' hdd or spend it on tests
  -make a recovery and everything right after a chkdsk to make sure that the file structure is ok before working with

  I never heard of a disk controller brocken on the motherboard of this distributor - but what I know...
