• 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.

  MK3265GSX Toshiba 320 GB 2.5 "hard drive SATAII 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache - OEM

  Does it matter what company it comes? I thought I got it was weird that the Satellite U300 would not transfer more easily.

  If anyone has any ideas please let me know...

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, you can install each HARD drive with SATA 2.5 form factor interface in Satellite Pro U400.

  If you install a new HARD drive in Satellite Pro U400, you must use the old disk cover/case HARD to install.
  I put t know what you mean exactly with that, but maybe you can upload a photo to make it clearer.

  Finally and above all it doesn t matter what company it comes. You can use a Toshiba or another company HARD disk too like Western Digital, Seagate, etc..

• Satellite Pro P100 - replacing the HARD drive internal

  I have a Satellite Pro P100 with a concert of 60 internal HDD and would like to replace this with a 250 or 320 GB drive.

  Anyone can suggest a way to imagery of the current drive and copy this back to the new drive without having to re - install the operating system and other installed software?

  I have a couple of USB 2.0 external drives with sufficient capacity.

  Hello

  You first need to know if the more drive HARD 250 GB or 320 GB would be compatible and if the BIOS recognize this HARD drive without major worries!
  The problem is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported by the BIOS.
  Then all first check if the new HARD drive are supported!

  You ask how to get all the files on the new disk? I recommend good reinstall the OS from the recovery CD. It would be to reinstall the OS, drivers, tools, utilities.
  If you have other files such as mp3, etc it then backup to the external USB HDD.
  Then you could connect this HARD drive to the laptop and could transfer it on the internal HARD disk.

  Greetings

• Satellite Pro 2100 and new hard drive

  Hello

  I saw on another post that L0nestar has installed a Western Digital WD2500BEVE (250 GB, 5400 RPM) in a Pro 2100.
  The question I have is what the interface is SATA or EIDE? The original drive indicates it is a SATA interface, but the WD2500BEVE is an EIDE interface?

  Hope someone can clear this up for me.

  See you soon.

  AFAIK all older models of laptops have hard drives with interface EIDE. Satellite Pro 2100 comes with disk HARD Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

  My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

  To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
  Is this true?
  (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

  Can anyone say about this the removal of HD to support it please?

  Hey,.

  Normally it of not necessary to restore the factory settings with to remove the HARD drive but don t you worry about this. The laptop can still be opened from a service provider authorized without losing the warranty.

  I also put t know why they did, perhaps they have checked the material. It would be possible because they have professional diagnostic tools.

  But interesting to know whether or not your problem is now resolved?

• Satellite Pro 6100 - memory / disk HARD upgrade

  Hello

  Ive got two questions regarding the upgrade of this laptop:

  My units equipped with a 60 GB hard drive. What is the maximum size possible? What is the bios (Im running the real 1.9) support? These days this drives 2.5 "are available up to 160 GB. I could just buy one, stick it in and my uncle bobs? Or will I run in serious trouble?

  I would switch the system memory to 1 GB, so two sticks of 512 MB should be used. I could use all the modules, which meets the toshibas specifications? 200Pin SO-DIMM, DDR 266, 32Mx8 organization. Or I have to buy a special memory, which would be a lot more money?

  Hello, my friend ;)

  I think the 160 GB is a dream that I n t think you will be able to use this large HDD.
  Maybe a 80 GB HDD works, but I don't know about it Mr. I think you should test it.

  Laptop supports modules of RAM DDR PC2100 and I think you should use the modules recommended by Toshiba. The modules are:
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  By the way: modules without a name are not recommended because performance is not great

• Satellite Pro 6100: error message - cooling fan does not work

  Hello
  I have a SP6100 and it keeps giving me an error message about the cooling fan does not. Then he tells me to stop immediately and runs very slowly. The fan come on, but after three or four short bursts it stops and the message appears.
  Is it a mechanical problem with the fan? I took out the radiator and the fan, and it was clean and not sticky.
  What is a system problem? The BIOS has recently been updated.
  Should I just invest in a new cooling unit and if so where would I get one?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend to contact the ASP (certified partner) because it can test your device and can do a diagnostic test.
  You can be sure that the laptop will be repaired correctly 100%.

• Install the new hard drive on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro 6100 and the hard drive has failed. Bought a new hard drive but have no idea where to begin to install it. Also, I have the product key for windows xp pro, but don't have a disc. Is there a way to get around get one, or someone has any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hmmmm... It's very strange that you n t have idea how to start. Throughout history, there are only two options:
  -for the installation of an operating system you can use the original Toshiba Recovery disk that came with this laptop. If you n t have it then
  -use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads

  Please note: the product key at the bottom belongs to original recovery image so you probably won't be able to use it for the activation of the operating system.

• On Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive password

  Hello

  I have an almost dead Satellite Pro 6100, I was almost back on its feet, but we wonder a HHD password on start up. Apparently, one of the portable computers security features is "Password HARD drive on request".

  There were ideas! Cannot ask the laptop I can't!

  When the HARD drive password is set, and you start the laptop you must enter this password. Otherwise the drive will not spin.
  The functionality of the HARD drive password is to secure the data on the disc. If you do not have the password: no chance to use the HARD drive.
  So if you can't enter or ask for the password you must swap the HARD drive.

  Buy the way it is always strange if someone "owns" a laptop and one does not know the passwords! If you bought the computer laptop may it is stolen...

• Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

  I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
  I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
  Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
  I'm missing something?

  Thanks in advance

  Neil

  It should work!

  The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

  3 things you can do:
  At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
  If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

  If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

  If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

• Need to drive caddy HARD and coverage for Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive

  Does anyone know the part numbers or to get a hard drive caddy and the Satellite Pro 6100 Series hard drive
  Thank you

  What caddy did you? Internal an external 2.5 USB caddy for a HARD drive or the case?
  I think that if you need a domestic framework for laptop you should order it since the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country.
  I think that guys should be able to order something like this directly from the Toshiba store
