• 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.

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A60 and Port Replicator

  I JUST BOUGHT A SATELLITE PRO A60 AND USB2 PORT REPLICATOR. WHEN I ATTACH MY LASERJET 1100 AND PRINT A TEST PAGE IT PRINTS WELL BUT IF I PRINT A WORD DOCUMENT IT RELEASED FOR EXAMPLE GOGGLEDYGOOK. CAN YOU HELP ME?

  Hello

  I understand your problem in this way.

  You have connected the printer via Port Replicator ports for the A60 SatPro.

  Œuvres driver and so on correctly because the test page can be printed. But when you want to print from Word the printer isn't or what do you mean by "GOGGLEDYGOOK".

  Could you describe a little more detailly and give us some more information like Toshiba shipped OS or MS based installation, Service Pack installed, the name of the printer and so on...

• 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.

• 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.

  1. turn the computer.
  2. remove the black binding screws.
  3 turn the computer over and open the display.
  4. push the module bay ODD.

  All that s. It s not achieved with a screw.

  Can someone please direct me to a disc replacement OK for me please?

  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 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

• 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 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.
  One thing is important. You must pay attention to the size of the HARD drive.
  I found information that Satellite M30 supports hard disks IDE Bus Master 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB

• Operating system and the new hard drive

  I have a question:

  I have a HP a4302f - with stock specifications:

  A computer virus has little or nothing to do with a hard disk crash. Please include the exact error messages and/or screens that remains stuck on the computer.

  A 500 GB hard drive at 7200 RPM SATAII should run around $ 45 to $ 70, and the operating system can range from $ 0 to $ 30 depending on exactly how handle you the situation.

  Is that what you had created your HP recovery disc set staff when you first set up your computer, you would be able to return the computer to a factory State even with a new hard drive. Since it does not appear that you have created these disks, you must buy a set of HP recovery disks or disk installation of operating system with COA and product key. None of these methods should work as expected and you will leave with an operating system on the new hard drive.

  You can order a set of discs of HP recovery directly from HP or third-party ComputerSurgeons.com. Purchase of a full blown Windows OS is not really necessary and you can actually download the Windows operating system to use with the key already on the side of your computer. For a hard drive, look at Frys.com Newegg.com, Amazon.com, etc.

  If you have any other questions, please post them here.

• Satellite Pro M40, failure of the hard drive - the new disk restore disk?

  Hello

  My Satellite Pro M40 hard drive died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately, my old drive is 60Gig and the Web of Toshiba parts site has only 40 GB or 80 gig drives.

  I have problems with the recovery disk if the hard drive is not exactly the same thing?

  Your advice would be appreciated.

  C

  No, he should t be any problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  On the recovery CD, you'll find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and software further.
  These entire applications are packed into image files.

  You should only be sure that the HARD drive is compatible with your laptop and it will be recognized in the BIOS.
  Then simply to boot from the recovery and installation CD must start.

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.
