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

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.

Welcome them

  • Satellite a210-171 needs new HARD drive

    I took the laptop to the computer repair shop, they want to charge me £100 to replace the HDD with a 500 GB one and reinstall windows. I am not satisfied with the service, the length of time necessary to diagnose the problem or the price then I refused to let them fix it. It took 3 days to identify the problem and more they can not even give me a quote until they had installed the new hard drive!

    Is it easy enough for me to replace the HARD drive? I don't really know where he is, than only what disk HARD buy! I have the original recovery disk, it will load everything once I have replace the HARD drive?

    Hello

    Maybe the HDD IDE controller supports only 28-bit LBA and it would mean that more than 120 GB of HARD drive are not supported.
    In this case, you can only use hard drives that are not more than 120 GB.

    I think that you will need to test a HARD drive with a smaller size

  • Satellite Pro A60 and a new HARD drive

    I installed a new hard drive on my notebook and I can't launch Win XP pro or Win 98.
    During the sequence of booting with XP, I get the error message:
    Initializing device NDIS:
    WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR.
    I checked my bios settings, there are only two
    [HARD DISK MODE = Enhanced IDE (normal) and (standard), I have tried both to no success.]
    I can run 98 in safe mode, but when I use this mode I can access my DVD - ROM is more.

    Hello

    Please check this link http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-008712.htm.
    In my opinion, you should try to preinstall the device using recovery DVDs.

  • Recovery on satellite Pro C660 - 2KM with new HARD drive with the restored recovery partition

    Hey people,
    I had a problem with a virus on this sat pro, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive to get rid of this virus. Before I did, I saved everything partiton D including the recovery path and after clearing course, I copied everything returns to a place (second partition).
    Now, try to recover and do not know how to do it. F11, F10 and F8 seems to not work. Do I need the recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery on the new partition D: path?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Stefan

    Unfortunately, recovery doesn't work on this path.
    What you need now is the recovery disk.
    In general the recovery image on the second partition is useless and you will not be able to start.

  • 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?

    Now when you need new HARD drive I recommend to update with SSD. SSDS are very fast and with the help of SSD you will have much better laptop performance.
    What you need is SSD with SATA interface.

    I have a PSAFHE Satellite Pro A210 running dual boot Windows XP/7
    With the help of Windows 7 - 32 or 64 - system always crashes after sleep/hibernate mode.
    This never happens with XP that sleeps and hibernates OK...
    There is no driver for this laptop on site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Hello

    > There is no driver for this laptop on site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Sorry, mate, but you're wrong.
    All drivers for Win 7 for Satellite Pro A210 are available on the European driver of Toshiba page that I recommend you check out once again

    Given that this question does not appear using Win XP, I can say with certainty that this has nothing to do with the material, but it s a software related issue
    I recommend updating the graphics card driver

    In addition, there is a new BIOS for Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE it s v2.0
    Check if you are using the latest version

  • Satellite 3000-100: need new HARD drive

    Hello

    I am looking for a new HARD drive for my laptop.

    I've already tired 3 different (2xHiachi, 1xToshiba MK2023GAS) HARD drives, but the Bios (latest Version 2.40) could not detect them.

    Nobody knows that suits HARD drive?

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite 3000-100 supports an Enhanced IDE Ultra DMA66/100 interface.
    Therefore, use this HARD drive interface compatible hard drives.

    The 20 GB HARD drive should be compatible due to the fact that this device was equipped with a 20 GB HARD drive too.

    I discovered that these drives may be supported:
    PA3100U 15 GB HDD-modular
    PA3101U modular HARD 30 GB disk

    Try simply google for this part numbers and you should get a few hits.

  • Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7

    Hello

    My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.

    If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?

    So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Help please?

    You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
    I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?

    If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.

  • 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.

  • Windows XP Pro the cloning of new hard drives (ready to use to backup discs).

    Hello. I use a system dual-boot Windows XP Pro at the moment. The first instance of XP, I use for internet, test new applications, etc... (a beat hard drive). The second instance of XP, I only use my Audio Studio. Due to an an external sound card very inconsistently (Presonus Firebox), this system does not work.

    "Why not just install everything on a disk?" you ask. I have operated this way until recently and have grown tired of incompatible software and need to keep my Audio Studio completely isolated from everything else.

    What I did to remedy this situation is:
    (A) I bought a total of 4 hard drives SATA Seagate (unfortunately they aren't all the same capabilities. 2 x 250 GB + 300 + 500 GB.)
    (B) I bought some EZ-Swap hard drive trays. (Have the instances of XP with a C:\ root on 2 separate hard drives. One is the pace of the drive, the other only my Audio Studio. When the need to use the desired OS, I just slide into the status bar.)

    Due to the fact that I'm on dial-up (there is no high speed in my area so far), "days" to completely update my Windows XP Pro.

    My goal is as follows:
    (1) to perform a clean Windows (all the hardware drivers installed except for my external sound card) and fully implemented installation up-to-date. I don't plan any change of material with the exception of my card external sound.
    (2) from there, create an exact image of the operating system that can be saved in a data cd/dvd/hard drive to copy onto a new hard drive. Image includes everything. Ex: registry entries, the drivers installed and software.

    Norton Ghost is not an option, because it will have to be installed to make the image, therefore, be part of the image.

    Any ideas on how I can do such a thing works? Windows 'Backup' do what I propose (an ISO standard or emulated)?

    I prefer Acronis True Image of Norton Ghost. I don't know why you would want it installed in your operating system image, so just install it in your other operating system. You create a True Image bootable CD and allows to clone/disk images. Ghost or True Image - besides - will do exactly what you want. We do that all at once for clients with critical systems - clone their server to an identical disk drive hard (it must not be the same in your case) and put the spare drive in the closet in an emergency. True Image doesn't have to be installed on the target computer - just install * somewhere * so you can build the bootable CD. Or if you buy the retail version House instead of the download (what we do because we use an Enterprise version), the TI CD is probably bootable. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Satellite C650 - reinstall with the new hard drive

    Hello

    The hard drive in my C650 just died so I put in a replacement, and the problem I have is that I never create a recovery disc for my laptop.

    I tried to use the windows disk 7 I got with my desktop, but when I boot it I get the error ' A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you have a flash driver diskette drive, CD, DVD or USB, please insert now. ".

    So, I downloaded the driver for chipset support page and excerpts to a flash drive. The installation detects these drivers "ICH9" on my USB, but after loading them, I always get an error ' no new deices could be found. Make sure that the driver files are correct and located on the driver installation media. ».

    I checked the bios and the new hard drive is detected without a doubt.
    Is there anything else I can do, short of ordering toshiba recovery disks?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The message
    > ' Required the reader driver CD/DVD is missing. If you have a flash driver diskette drive, CD, DVD or USB, please insert now. ".
    say that your CD/DVD drive is not detected.
    So you need to check if the BIOS so the CD/DVD drive is listed. It should appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If you want to boot from the disk and then switch on and you press F12.
    Usually, a menu should appear that allows you to choose the ODD (CD/DVD)
    Choose this option and try to boot from the CD.

  • HP pavilion dv7 4077cl need new hard drive

    I need a new hard drive for my laptop HP pavilion dv7 4077cl entertainment.  The old man is a Toshiba MK6465gsx.  What would be compatible?  Maybe more now I have 640 GB of storage like most.  Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Yes, the HARD drive become more fat and more (capacity), becomes also more small - actually thinner - (dimension) AND cheaper too. You can use more (once again - ability) HDD from reliable suppliers/manufacturers. 750 GB or 1 TB of a WD HARD drive would be a good start - please stay with the one who has more cache and fast (7200 rpm or more).

    My suggestion: replace it with a SSD and put a larger HARD drive on the second span.

    Kind regards.

    I think (but I m not 100% sure) the enclosure supports SATA interface.

    But if you remove the internal HARD drive, then you will see the description of the HARD disk on the label.

    I think that you need a HARD SATA 1.8 for the speaker.

  • Satellite L350D-21 problems using new HARD drive recovery recovery disks

    Hello

    I have laptop SATELLITE L350D-212 with windows 7 Home premium OA.
    He started to complain that there is something wrong with the hard drive so I went and bought another hard drive of the same size.

    I created the recovery disk when the computer was purchased and have backup of all the data in an external hard drive.

    After I changed the new hard drive to the laptop and tried to boot from the recovery disc, nothing happens eventhoug I can see it seems to be all Ok with the disc.

    Any ideas on how to get to run to the new hard drive recovery?

    I have the old hard drive attached as external drive via the USB port, but cannot boot from that too. It just stops at a certain point and told to stop.

    Hello

    Usually, the recovery disk must format the new HARD drive but I recommend you to join the new HARD drive as an external device to another computer and format the new HARD drive before trying to recover the laptop.

    Once the HARD drive has been formatted, connect it to the L350D and boot from the recovery disc

    Good luck
