Satellite Pro A100-302: what is maximum size of HARD drive?

Hello

Someone who knows the maximum capacity on the hard drive of this laptop? Original is 100 GB, is it possible to upgrade to 320 GB?

Elegant

Hello

I think that it should be possible to use a larger HARD drive.
The laptop supported a SATA controller and in my opinion, you should be able to use hard drives SATA 250 GB or 320 GB

Good bye

  • Satellite Pro 4200: Which is a maximum size of HARD drive?

    Hello, please help. I have a satellite Pro 4200 with a dead hard drive. I can't get a 10 GB hd anywhere. I can only find 30 and more. Does anyone know the size max HD which can be installed in this system? send me an email: [email protected].
    Thank you.

    Hello Jose

    Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. I'm sure that 20 GB HDD will work correctly. If you want to try to call service partner and ask them. They must have this information.

    By the way: as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support the hardware upgrade. This is supported by authorized service partners or independent equipment parts supplier.

    Hello

    As far as I know, this unit was delivered with a 30 GB HARD drive.
    In my opinion you unity might work with a 40 GB 60GB but I n t think that the BIOS recognizes a 100 GB HARD drive.
    I think that it of not possible to use a 100 GB on this unit.

    HARD drive merchants offer a BIOS change. After this change, it should be possible to use a bigger HDD. But these procedures are not supported by Toshiba and it is possible that you will lose coverage.

  • Equium L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
    I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

    I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

    I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

    Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hello

    Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
    Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

    I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100

  • What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a pavilion d4790y desktop computer?

    What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?

    It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.

    The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  The version of the BIOS is 5.08.

    Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?

    Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

  • Satellite Pro P100: How to recover BONES after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I bought a satellite Pro P100, and I want to change my hard drive
    I have the CD restored, but I think that this will not work with a new hard drive!
    What can I do to recover my windows?

    Sorry for my englich!

    Thank you

    Hey Phillipe,

    Your recovery CD works on what hard drive install you in your laptop. Are the only factors affecting the hard disk of your choice: -.

    1. compatibility of the BIOS (should not be a problem with the P100 model)
    This model mainly old laptop impact where the BIOS could not recognize larger drives.

    2 form factor
    You should make sure that the disc you choose has the same physical dimensions as your
    existing drive.

    3 speed
    Disks hard more quickly improve access times so check out 5400 and 7200 RPM. (there may be a problem
    with the generation of heat so 5400 RPM is probably better than 7200)

    The are no problem with Windows licenses as the license applies to the operating system itself and not on the hard disk on which it is installed.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

    Hi all.
    New here.

    Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

    Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

    Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
    If so, what is the limit?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Mike

    Hello!

    Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

    In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

  • Y at - it a maximum size of HARD drive internal to a Satellite Pro A120

    Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120?
    I tried a 320 HDD int Tosh and had problems with continuous boot.

    I have the BIOS update (March 08)

    > Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120
    Yes, I think so.
    The BIOS doesn't support all sizes of HARD drive!

    In my opinion, teething problems are associated with the large size of HARD drive and advise to use a smaller HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

    Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

    Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

    I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

    Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

    Thank you

  • Equium A60-157: Question about maximum size of HARD drive

    Hello

    Looking to upgrade my Pentium 4 3.06GHz Equium A60-157 a bit then got a new module of 1024 MB of RAM, but now really to upgrade my 40 gb HDD to go with. I found all the specifications of the type of HARD drive, I need, but may not know what the maximum size of the disk, it is that the BIOS will recognize. I don't think that I've never updated by the BIOS and I'm looking to get a 120 GB drive. Any ideas please?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Alex,

    Most portable smanufactured in the last 5 years or so are able to accept larger hard drive capacity without problem. I am currently using a 80 GB drive in an old SA30 of three years. I can't guarantee a 120 GB drive will work, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

    My age Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20 GB HARD drive. These are now very difficult to obtain, does anyone know if superior capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of the HARD drive.

    (Despite his age that I always use the Satellite Pro for some jobs).

    Hello John

    Satellite Pro 4600 is old enough for laptop and it is not easy to find the exact info. The fact is that this laptop comes with 10 and 20 GB hard drives.
    My opinion is that you can use 30 or even 40 GB HDD. I think that 30 GB new HARD drive should be enough for your some jobs.

    What do you think?

  • The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

    I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

    I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

    Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

    What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

    By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

    Hello

  • Satellite L40 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40, model number PSL4CL - 001 with 80 GB HDD (SATA) 00C. I need to buy a new bigger hard drive, but I don't know the maximum size that I can use my laptop?

    Can I get a new one with 500 GB or I shouldn't buy one more 250 or 320 GB?

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can buy each HARD drive you want. Your laptop is equipped with a SATA interface for HARD disk and there is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface. So, a 500 GB model should work correctly on your laptop.

    If you buy a new one make sure that it s a portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface. All that s! :)

    I hope I could help a bit.
